A few days later the rugged young Joslab Stars' set out for Fort TIconderoga with Nancy's letter In one of his saddle bags. The girl had praised and flattered him for- no other reason Jbanher needof his help. He had traded horses with young Israel Sapp, who bad come down from Skenesborougb to the army on Colin's solicitation In the last autumn. He bad ridden a tireless tire-less black gelding which be bad bought ' from Mrs. Bowlby. Stark needed a tough horse used to mountain moun-tain travel The one he owned was worn. So he gave Sapp a horse and a good sum of money for the gelding. gel-ding. ' One day in northern Massachusetts, Massachu-setts, Stark dismounted to enter a store for food. As had been his custom, cus-tom, he left the horse standing In front of the store. He had always stood without hitching. -The animal having come to familiar country, Immediately Im-mediately set out on a lonely road for his old home. Stark went on afoot following bis tracks and hoping hop-ing to overtake him. The horse had spent three years of his life in Mrs. Bowlby's stable. That night, awakened awak-ened by bis tramping and whinny ing around the house, - she arose, lighted her lantern and went out-of-doors where she found the riderless animal. She took him to the stable, removed the saddle and bags, tied him in a stall and gave him food and water. In the darkness she Jailed..te,iecognizejtheh0rse. She brought the bags Into the house wondering what could .have happened to the absent rider. In one of the bags she found Nancy's letter. Thinking that It would give a clue to the Identity of the horse's owner, she opened and read the let: ter which Nancy had written to her friend In Canada. She . was naturally natu-rally astonished by its contents, for She remembered vividly the young man to whom it related and for whom she still entertained a feeling of gratitude and obligation. She put the letter In another envelope, read-dressed read-dressed it and returned it to Its place In the saddle-bag. CHAPTER IX The Army Moves and Colonel Cabot Feels the "War Tide." f N THE fifth of April Colin re- turned to the big house In Cambridge; Cam-bridge; MaJ. Gen. Charles Lee was with Washington, talking loudly as he was wont to do, A self-made military mil-itary hero,- witha title rem congress, con-gress, Lee was a tousled, shabby-looking shabby-looking Englishman of high preten sion and bad manners. He lived for a time among the Mohawks, one of whose maidens became his wife a-matter now forgotten. He'was tall and scrawny, with restless eyes and a huge aquiline nose. The resounding promises of this European cast-offj made with a thumping fist, his impassioned review re-view of his own career in Portugal and Poland,: bis claim that It had won the friendship of Frederick the Great, had naturally impressed' the Sim Bottses In congress. He dealt in their kind of talk. They knew that be must be a great man. They listened and crowned him with the highest honor in their gift and sent him to Washington,- His rank gave him some excuse for talking loudly. He was sounding brass and a tinkling cymbaL There were twopeople at general headauarters who distrusted this man. They were Martha Washington Washing-ton and Colin Cabot, who had found It difficult to conceal their aversion. While Colin was waiting for the major general to finish bis oration, the Lady Washington came and beckoned to hint He followed her to the library. She bad an indignant indig-nant .look.. "That horrid man ! He ought to be catching rats or currying horses."' the Lady began as they sat down "The General and I have almost quarreled about him. My lord end master smiles and says: 'Oh, he It an honest, well-meaning man sod-let sod-let us hope, a good soldier. He ha a fickle and viofent temper but w can bear witb that.

She began her knitting - with a Eacboflles sober determined look, adding : "She is a rich man's daughter and thoroughly spoiled. A fag doll would be of more use In the hospital. She is an idler, dreaming of love and confectionery." She gave her yarn a violent pulL "Often I have thought of that robber rob-ber on "the road,' be said with a smile. She looked into the young man's eyes and laughedr saying : "The robber rob-ber was arrested. I reckon you know why." "No." "Stop. Don't Hfrtouei!; she answered an-swered with a smile. "Now go on to your work." Colin made his .report to the chief, who considerately said: -"You are weary with tiard riding. You shall bave the day for rest" The young man found his friend Amos Farnsworth sitting In front of his lodge with his men cleaning arms. They shook hands. With the drooping look of a- sick dog Amos called Colin aside. "Alas I" he exclaimed. "1 ain't a-feelin' a-feelin' awful healthy." - 01s voice trembled a little. - "What's the trouble?" - "Satan has floored me. He Is In my bone an' marrer. Fm mired In sin which my hope is in the ever-lastin' ever-lastin' arms." Amos was always frank as to his spiritual condition, but curiously he would never quite admit bis physical ills. To say that he was not feeling "awful healthy" was going go-ing far for him. Colin smiled, saying: "In this case I think that medicine would be better than prayer. I'll send you the address of a good physician." physi-cian." The guns were hauled to the ship. Tents and stores were packed and loaded on heavy' wagons. Guns and bayonets were polished. The bugles sounded and the army began Its march.

The roads, rough at best thawed by rain, were here and there a mire of. mud. Riding Rid-ing a coach became a contest of endurance. en-durance. Conversation was limited to exclamations. "As the day wore on the young man discovered In rhe good woman of Virginia an nnex-pected nnex-pected capacity for self-expression. He wrote to a friend that ber opinion opin-ion of New England was distinctly unfavorable. One incident of the Journey throws a light on, the human qual ity of the Commander in Chief. He was a splendid figure sitting on his white charger at the bead of the troops. As they were passing through a large town, with bands playing In the line and the crowd cheering on either side of the way, be saw a little girl run out In. front of his horse and march along with a small banner trailing from her shoulder. The child amused blm and he ordered a bait while a man, obeying bis request put ber on me saddle In front of. the General Kbe.rode with him to the tavern where the staff bad their dinner and the men broke ranks for rest and refreshment A trooper rode back with the girl, to nno ner parent. The army arrived in New lorkon the fourteenth of ApriL Mucbpf the baggage and all sick and footsore foot-sore men had been shipped by boat from points along the shore road. The force had been weakened by de tachments sent to Canada. The stores were tow. and there was great need of tents and clothing. Two ttAtfand of the men la line were- without-arms; - -- Th -first act of general Washington Wash-ington wat a requisition on New York r.mnecticut aed New Jersey WNTJSorrleo for thirteen thousand five hundred militia. They came pouring In by the thousand strong, patriotic men of little training and no experience In the bloody give, and take of battle. bat-tle. Strong detachments under Generals Gen-erals Putnam and Sullivan were posted on a fortified line In Brooklyn Brook-lyn from East river to Gowan's cove behind a range of wooded hills. A line of defense was estab Ushed from New Rochelle to East Westchester. In these positions the training of raw recruits began. A little above its business section York Island was then a place of fruitful fields and gardens with many white bouses on either side of the rough road going north. Colin notes In his diary that he entered a billiard room one evening and saw two colonels playing In their socks one of whom was often saying "d n my eyesl" The incoming host had given to the thriving island town an at-mdsphere at-mdsphere of wild rusticity. Colonel Cabot's regiment was en camped near "The Tea Water Pump" above the City hall. Put to the task of securing lead, they overturned over-turned the statue of King George III on- the Battery, in- which they found a large quantity of the de sired metaL They took more from the roofs of many profane friends of the king, New York being a hotbed hot-bed of loyalism. Shouting officers were In every open space busy with the training: There was little time for this task. Colin was engaged with squads of militia when he Was summoned to report to General Washington for a special duty. There had been secret advice of a loyalist plot to kidnap the Commander Com-mander in Chief. For a time the sturdy young man was put to work at general headquarters, then at 180 Pearl street A strong guard of picked men was soon on duty in and around the place. Captain Farnsworth and some of his best troopers surrounded the. Chief when he traveled.:' . , Such, briefly, was the posture-of things on and -around York Island before the British arrived. The day after Cofln began his work at headquarters manyof the best people on the Island came to drink tea with General and Mrs. Washington. At this function the young man met a crowd of ladles and' gentlemen whose- names he could not remember. The next day he received a polite letter from the Baroness de RIedesel mother of a generaLin the British army who lived in the fashionable section sec-tion of Pearl street, inviting him to supper at eight o'clock on a near date. He showed this to the Commander Com-mander in Chief, who said: I wonder a little at this. Her son is an officer In the British army. rShelSTleaderof theioyalistwom - en In this Tryonlzed city.

(TO BS COXTIHUKD.) THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE THERE is one characteristic of the American neonla that consti tutes something of a puzzle to me. Whenever they have dealings with their government that result In dis agreement they simply rebel against a compromise. They want to go to court and fight It " That reference, of course, is to civil matters. Criminal, charges' of which the government necessarily Is the prosecutor occupy a different status. In theory," there may be no compromise In this respect Since the government must pro tect its own rights as well as prose- cute individual, who vlolate.the rights of others, it la readily seen that it requires a great law office to look after the business of the distinguished client Dncle Sam. He really has an immense amount of lit lgation, and in view of that fact he has his lawyers scattered in every important city In every state in the Union. They are so distributed at to make them available to the great est number of people and thus avoid as much expense to the Individuals and to the government as may be. since It would be impossible to place them in every community, The government's law office, the Department of Justice with a cab inet member, the attorney general of the United States, at its head; naturally has id have Its headquarters headquar-ters "In Washington. The attorney general Is Just like the attorney gen eral for a railroad or a bank or any other organization. He Is the legal adviser to the President of the United States, among his other du ties, and represents the United States In every matter in which the United States has an interest There Is no better way to show the varied Interests with which this immense law office Is concerned than to set out Its administrative or ganization for handling the vast amount of work. The attorney general, of course, is the boss.

Wostan Kowspaoor Lows. Self-Pity. Has No v Value in Trouble There are many things we think and do that are futile and stupid, and one of the worst of these Is the amount of self-pity we give ourselves day in and day out There Is no need for it, no Justification. Self-pity, if we are honest about it, always sounds like a measure of whining. Things go wrong, or we think they do, and we begin to get a feeling of. resentment which, frequently fre-quently develops Into an attitude of self-pity. If we let that feeling grow, our sense of proportion, and. certainly certain-ly our sense of humor, will be on the Jd .. J '1!
