The last sentence was spoken with a good-natured, smiling amusement amuse-ment that was near to laughter. . Colin went to the library and sat down alone with his letter. It was from Pat and this is the letter: let-ter: ; "My beloved One: Ton are only four miles away, but they are like the miles on Jacob's ladder.. The war goes on and no passes are allowed. al-lowed. I am a selfish creature not as much In love with future generations' gen-erations' as you are. I have nothing noth-ing to say against them, but.

Think of that You have work and Its excitement. 1 have nothing to do but think, nothing to eat but codfish, nothing to hear but praise of the king and abuse of Washington. My mother tells me that I do nothing but babble of love and you. I shall not fill this letter with It, but I am eager to know if you have any plan for getting get-ting Helen out of Troy. T, "There is a fat old woman with long gray hairs on her chin who sells apples in the British army. She comes through the lines every day or. two. In iny most romantic moments I plan to dress myself like this woman and go through the lines and I design to bribe her to help me. So I may come and try to sell you an apple some day. If to, I hope you may be as obliging as Adam was to Eve. Did you ever read that book entitled 'Home Life in the American Colonies'? It reads like a glowing account of Paradise. I could write a book on 'Horn Life that would amuse you. There are days when we have nothing t& eat but smoked fish and onions.

He describes its plan of financing as chaos with 'overlapping powers.'

At least let me read about them as soon as possible. And do not fall to give my love to dear Lady Washington and the erand General. Now If I have pot made, you feel the hunger and thirst in me, I am a poor letter writer. "Paf Colin had finished a second reading read-ing of the letter when Lady Washington Wash-ington entered the room. She kissed the young man and sat dcwn, check- Ing his compliments with a serious look and the command, "Stop. Dont say a word until you have told me all about Pat" , She dropped her knitting on her lap while he read the letter aloud to her. Now and then she Interrupted Interrupt-ed him, laughing with amusement as" she said. "Read that sentence bmIti."

When one It as young as Pat and I are. love Is the great thing. The wisdom of God has made It so. and that Is not to be overlooked. How about your own heart? Are you gel-ting gel-ting more In love or less?" Well she knew what the answer would be, but . the dear Lady was every Inch a woman. Intently she listened while the young man thrilled her with a passionate account of bis growing fervor, adding, "You know Bacon has said that perpetual hyperbole hyper-bole may. be excused only in young lovers. That is my defense." There was the look of reflection in irer eyes as she rested her head upon her hand and gazed at the fire, saying: "Oh, yes I It Is the bread and meat of young lovers, and old lovers like It I want to see you J wo happily hap-pily married. We must 'get Helen out of Troy.' The General may have an Idea. His wisdom has, put us In this predicament He ought to help us." "I was In full agreement with him," said Colin as he arose to go, "I suppose that we shall all agree In the end that he was right" He went to his" company lodge and, opening his chest, put on his best uniform and packed his bag and repaired to his familiar quarters in the big mansion. Israel Putnam the brave Old Put of army gossip was at the fireside fire-side that evening with General and Mrs. Washington and some members mem-bers of the staff and their wives.

General Washington was working at his desk by candle light Having closed the door, be said to the young man, "I entrust to you secret information to be carefully guarded. The guns of Ticonderoga are now on their way to the front Ox teams are hauling tbem on sledges over the snow In the western west-ern highlands. I think that there will soon be snow to help them alone the lower country, gineers -will be setting .out in a sleigh with levers and shovels Immediately Imme-diately after breakfast.

You know the roads and the topography of that country. I wish you to go with them mounted and to act as paymaster and guide. You will please hire what local help may be needed men and teams to keep the uns moving. I commit to you this tion to the problems of the laboring labor-ing ox-train. A" blizzard overtook them that day, and before nightfall the , caravan camped In a deep ravine sheltered by the primeval forest There were sledges loaded with hay and cornmeal in sacks for the oxen," and - with food for the men. . There was alsp a wooden scraper set upon broad runners when not In use. The drivers found water for their teams under the Ice roof of a pond. Soon a shelter was built of poles covered with boughs of spruce and hemlock. The snow beneath It was overlaid with a deep mat of balsam. In a little time the wbodchoppers had a fire blazing in front of the shelter shel-ter and the cook had begun his work. A teamster had shot a deer that morning and there was food a-plenty. ; Colin got news of Mrs. Bowlby, who had moved to the fort with her children for the winter and who spent a part of every day hunting and trapping in the forest "That womern Is half horse," said a man of the mountain coun try. '"Fraid o nothin'. Has killed a panther an- a lynx this winter an' seventeen deer. . She can bring a buck in on her back an' eat him fer supper. Han'some as a picter an' neat at a pin an' p'lite as a minister, but it doesn't do to git her vexed." The night was so cold that even the oxen were bedded with boughs and some pf the teamsters slept between be-tween the beasts to keep warm. When the fire sank low, Colin had to get up and rake out the embers and stand leaning over them while he heat his sides for comfort He had doubled the mare's cover with one of his own blankets and was feeling the need of it He envied the mountaineers sleeping with frosty beards and with no apparent sense of discomfort He put wood-on wood-on the ' fire and went back to his bed smiling as he said to himself, "I wonder If the future generations will ever know about these days and nights." The sky was clear and the sun shining when the scrapers , halted at the summit and looked down unon a broad clearing. Colin toiled alcng behind them on his mare. A freezing wind blew in his face. The road below was fairly clear for a distance. The guns were coming nn hehind and halting, while the teamsters put chains on their run ners to help In holding their loads on the long down-hill slant So the guns of Ticonderoga crept along over the hills and through the valleys on their way to a new duty at Dorchester heights. Cap tain Cabot was wont to say, "They 6eemed to have left their old home with reluctance and to be sternly resisting the strength of the oxen. Meanwhile in Boston Pat was having her first great adventure. She had been in communication with Revere since the time of Colin's departure. Mrs. Shipman, the wife ot a loyalist who had hoon nrnminent in the social life of the city, was their Intermediary She was from Virginia, where raara fPTOrP. aiier ilfftBUiuiiiuu Two en- . , hprn. from the utv imu i etui fortunate Braddock campaign, she fell In love with him although then engaged to marry a wealthy New Enelander visiting in Aiexanana. The young officer was not then heart free, according to credible renorts. and nothing came of cava on nnlvin2 memory in th mind of the girl. She married an .went to live in Boston. Her hom was a romantic mansion on Rox bury neck. It was built by one Corwln. who was clandestinely 4n love with the sister of his wife. In constructing the house he had IT IS untrue to say that commerce knows no barriers, yet it must be jwEolalned that it knows no barriers A insofar as the: age-old law of supply and demand Is concerned, wnere the demand Is sufficient, there commerce com-merce will flow Just as surely as. water seeks its own level. Hence, a great commercial and Industrial people, If they are to remain re-main so, must be kept acquainted with where that demand Is. Unless they areapprisedt and apprised quickly of the existence of a market, mar-ket, there Is a very real -danger that gome enterprising group elsewhere will become the early bird that catches the worm. Without fear of contradiction, I think it can be said, the fact that American export trade has captured so much of the worlLtrada has been attributable to the ever watchful eye of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.

TREE IS MONUMENT TO INNOCENT MAN A man hanged long ago for a crime he did not commit has as his monument monu-ment the old tree under which he met his death. 'All of the tree which stands near Fayette, Mo., Is dead except ex-cept the limb from which the man was hanged. According to musty records, In June, 1857, a man was killed In a field, and John Chapman, a neighbor, was charged with the crime. Despite bis protests of Innocence he was found guilty and sentenced to death. After the noose had been fastened around his neck and the rope thrown , over the limb Sheriff Boyd McCrary asked the conllemned. man If he wished to make a statement. "Gentlemen, you are hanglng-an ipnocent man," replied Chapman. As he predicted, years afterward another 'man confessed the- slaying, clearing Chapman's name. Grit CHURCH IS TO BE ATHEIST THEATER Shows will soon take the place of sermons In the great cathedral of St Isaac In Leningrad. Once one of the most fashionable and luxurious of all Russian churches, It Is to be a play house for the irreligious, and Its first production will be "The Cathedral of St. Isaac," a satire on the life of the saint after whom the ' basilica is named. The announcement of the change Is made by Pravda. It will be the first time in. Soviet history, we are told, that a church has-been f on- verted Into an-atheist theater. The great cathedral was designed by n French architect, Richard de Montf errand, and was finished in 1858, after 39 years of labor, Ralph W. Barnes, Moscow correspondent. tells ns In the New York lieraia Tribune. ' Built in the shape of a huge cross, and crowned by an enormous gilded dome 330 feet high, It Is made chiefly of Finnish red granite and marble. The main entrances form four porti cos, modeled on the Pantheon at Rome. 'The church cost $12,000,000, and Is famous both for its rich interior decorations dec-orations and for its Impressive fa cade. Literary Digest - . Look Who's Here!

Doctors Give Creosote For Dangerous Coughs For many years our best doctors have nrairihfd creojoto in some form for coughs, coldr and bronchitis, knowing how dangerous it is to let them hang on.
