Botts, having the army, had lately been elected left to congress. Colin shook his hand. It was evident that Colonel Botts had been declaiming against General Washington, for a citizen asked : "Who is the best man to take Washington's place?" Botts began: "The muse of history commands us to a survey of all possible candidates with great circumspection for, as Shakespeare says, he must be a man of 'untirable and excellence, capable of the eagle's flight, our extremity being great and the fire in the flint shows not till It be struck and the body of our people has been sickened by futility and delay and their pockets drained. Who can name the man?" There was a look of honest longing in the expansive countenance of Colonel Botts framed In hair, and its bilateral adornment. "Gates," a voice answered. Botts arose and shook hands with the owner of that voice saying, "My knowledge of the great and noble qualities of General Gates tie great champion of liberty and human rights of his skill as a soldier, of his devotion to our common cause. Inclines, me, sir, in spite of my respect for Washington as a man, to Indorse your opinion and to put my humble talents behind It In the face of stern necessity and with the fond hope of seeing victory perch upon our banners." Colin was indignant With the knowledge In his possession he was able to comprehend the recent history of Colonel Botts. . . . . "Who Is the gentleman who mentioned Gates?" he asked.

I am sure that I do no injury to Colonel Botts hen I say that he is not a soldier. I am told that he is an able politician. I know that he is a capable recruiter, but I cannot believe that he would claim to be prepared to command a regiment in battle. Every officer who has left the army has left It for a like reason. The division which they and you and men like you are seeking to create among our people will be our worst enemy. It will prolong the war. It may defeat us. With no knowledge of the facts you, a foreigner, lately arrived, should be slow to give your to a support purpose inspired by personal ambition and which no American is able to countenance." A number of men clapped their hands. Colonel Botts was Inarticulate with Indignation. Conway sprang to his feet, saying, "No man can address me in that manner and challenge the truth of my statements and the honor of my chief and go unscathed. By G dl I challenge you." The little argument had come to an unexpected climax. The hot blood of youth was again In trouble. Colin arose and answered calmly: "If correct information hurts your feelings, I am sorry, but I am not afraid of you, sir. I cannot take the chance of being put to bed. As I am challenged, I have the privilege of choosing the weapons. ' I therefore propose that we fight with our fists. You are young and of equal stature. We could show our courage and bind up our wounds and go to our tasks tomorrow." "That kind of fighting room scufflers, not for Conway shouted. "I. have of your gouging, kicking here in America.

Patience "Pat" Fayerweather, daughter of a loyalist but herself a "rebel." He joins the Revolutionary army at Cambridge, and is mustered into the company of Capt. Amos Farns-wort- h. Colin impresses Washington, and he makes him his informal secretary, with the rank of captain. A letter from Pat tells Colin she is to visit friends outside the American lines, and asks him to meet her. He sets out. Learning of a British plot to capture Colin, Famsworth, with a troop, rides to the rescue. A British patrol, led by Harry Cage, Colin's rival for the hand of Pat, threatens the young patriot. Farnsworth and his troop come up. Cage challenges Colin to a duel. They fight and Cage is wounded. Colin returns to Cambridge. Washington, having forbidden dueling, reduces him to the ranks, but Mrs. Washington, affectionately known to the army as "Lady" Washington, remains his stanch friend. Restored to his rank for meritorious service, Colin is sent, with Col. "Sim" Botts, a "civilian soldier," on a recruiting mission in the West. He meets a typical pioneer woman, Mrs. Bowlby, who outwits a band of drunken Indians by her bravery and shrewdness. Returning to Cambridge, Colin is sent to aid In the transportation of the guns of Ticonderoga to the heights of Dorchester, to bombard Boston. Fearing the bombardment, the British army and many loyalists evacuate the city, the Fayerweather family going with them, to Canada.

Has he not driven the British out of Boston?" "Yes, sir, but the issue and the long he delay prove his weakness. At last, had Howe's army at his mercy and he let them go."

"Are they going to be all night doing that little Jobr he asked himself as he smoked. Conway was writing in his diary. Others were whispering together. The tavern keeper returned with Mr. Allen and Colonel IiotU. The latter stood twirling a side whisker that kins, a big, brawny, bearded man with sleeves rolled to his elbows, came from behind the bar saying: "Gentlemen, all you need Is to prove your courage. There Is a rock In my stable yard with two holes in it drilled for blasting. We could use them to settle this difficulty. I will put a charge of powder in each hole with a fuse and tamp It in. You are to sit, side by side, over the two blasts. When you are in position I will light the fuses. The man who runs first is beaten. The man who sits there longest wins the fight. He will be the man of Iron nerve. My prediction is that neither of you will be hurt unless one or the other wishes to commit suicide." roar of laughter greeted this unique plan of the tavern keeper. "It's a fair proposal," a citizen declared, and others audibly fell in with his way of thinking. A man who had listened to the quarrel and said nothing now arose. He spoke in a tone that commanded silence and respect saying, "I have heard the aide argument of this young A man, whose name I do not know. I cannot see why the challenger, or any man who has an interest in the welfare of our Colonies, should be offended by it. I have heard the plan of our host.

It will afford these gentlemen a chance to commit murder if either of them is hent upon It. but it will be Therefore, Mr. Landlord, I move that it is the sense of this meeting that the duel shall be fought as you propose and that If either gentleman is unwilling to submit to your test of his courage he shall apologize to the other or accept the stigma of cow- ardice."

The tavern keeper said in a solemn voice: ? "Gentlemen, we are ready for you." Colin took, the arm of Mr. Allen, Conway that of Colonel Botts.

There they drew lots for the choice ofpositiona .Colin won and chose the charge i nearest the open stable door about thirty feet away. The two gat down, each above a loaded bore in the rock. Again the tavern keeper spoke: "I advise all my guests to go to some safer place. I will assume no responsibility for the safety of spectators. You, who are fighting this duel, will please bear in mind that the fuses are two and a half feet long and that the fire moves rapidly. The holes are fifteen Inches deep. You will have not more than three or four seconds in which to move to a safer position after the fire enters the hole. Mr. Conway will head for the opening toward the house, Mr. Cabot for the stable door, within which I and the two seconds will find shelter." The tavern keeper lighted a splinter In the lantern blaze. Holding the fuse ends In his left band, he touched them simultaneously with the fire which began Its sputtering upward journey. Little wisps of smoke arose. Colin sat as motionless as the rock. he saw In the glow of the Jack-ligthat his enemy was trembling. The creeping fire was close to both men. shrieked with A nervous spectator alarm. It was like an unexpected thunderbolt crashing through a roof. Every one felt a heart spasm. Conway Jumped off the rock and ran. Colin sat for half a second, then bounded into the stable. The spectators began chattering. Then all heard the cheery voice of the tavern keeper saying: "Gentleman, the danger Is past. It was not powder that we put In those holes. My small boy was playing with today and he my empty powder-horfilled It with black sand. In spite of that, we have seen a remarkable exhi bition of courage, for neither man knew that this was to be a bloodless battle." The pressure of excitement suddenly relieved, produced a gale of laughter. In the midst of It Conway ran upon Colin In a rage saying, "It Is a dirty Yankee trick, and you are a d d dog." The last word was scarcely spoken when Colin's right glove crashed Into the face of Conway with an appalling smack that echoed In the near woods. The stricken man reeled and fell against the crowd with blood flowing down from his nose upon his white shirt They lowered him to the ground, where he lay stunned and helpless. Colin turned to the tavern keeper saying, "Send for a surgeon. I fear his nose Is broken. I will take him into the house." On his two hands he lifted the prostrate man above the heads of the pressing crowd and carried him Into the house. "He's another Samson," the spec tators were whispering as tney n Conway revived, but was In no con dition to resume the battle. 'I am sorry, sir, that this happened," said Colin, who was bending over him. A surgeon will come soon to repair your nose." Conway made no answer. Colonel Potts, discreet and melancholy as a tombstone, said nothing. He helped Ids fripnd to a chair, patting his shoul der and wiping his face with a towel. Colin ordered a "black strap" or a "snort of whisky for every man in the mom. All were served save Potts and Conway, who declined the compli ment.
