There's a big dead pine at the end o' the road. The Ughfll be dim, but ye can't miss It At the top o' the first line o bluffs Is the big wooden house o' Israel Woodbrldge. Stun chimney an' half a dozen gables. He'll take care o' ye ah' put ye on yer way, sir." f The lantern lighted, Snoach' began be-gan to more barrels of smoked fish to the head of a long sloping spin way down which they rolled to the hands of the loaders at the end of the wharf. This done, he said to Colin: "There'll be a guard on the dock. sir. I'll have to roll you down as If ye was a barrel o'flsh an' not a human beln'. If convenient, conven-ient, ye may give me a pound to pay the fiddlers. There'll be five a-playln' for this dince." Snoach stood"" over the barrel, as he critically examined Its head, so that Colin got a look at his benefactor bene-factor "a tall brawny sea-god, his weathered face covered with a thin, afraggy, blond beard, bis great arms bare to the elbow. A son of the mighty deep, whose fruits he gathered, he personified a power beyond that of armies. It may yet win the war for us," "Here are two pounds, and my thanks go with them," said Colin. "Much obleeged. sir. Te're a gentleman gen-tleman an' no mistake an' good luck to ye, sir. This Is the roof o yer little cabin. Here's a bit o' rope fast to a staple In Its center. Ye hang on to that, to hold It down In bad weather. When safe on board, ye can give yer lungs an alrln. Out In the breeze ye can straighten yer legs an' be com-rtable. com-rtable. Afore they roll ye over, the boys'll pour pitch around the edge o' the barrel-nead to make It watertight. Hold her snug till ye touch shore. There Is small holes near its center. They'll give ye air. When ye make port, take the barrel head with ye an' give It to Wood bridge." The gay young patriot rolled down the splnway like a barrel of fish and was tumbled aboard and stored on deck right end up with M "I Know All About You," She Said. "You Are a Great Lover." less Important merchandise. He rode at ease half an hour or so standing erect In the darkness. Then he had to lower his head. The cover down, Its edges were served with pitch. The barrel, lifted to the gunwale, fell into the hay and began Its tossing Journey In the hurrying fide. He was riding In the curious craft not more than twenty minutes, he reckoned, when he humped the sand In the sImiIIows at W Innlslmct. He denrd two voices young and gentle gen-tle voices. They were near him Some person was out In the shut low water trying to roll Hip luirrel In with a slick. . Impatient to he released, Colin decided to tnke the chnnee of showing himself. Me pushed the head from Its place and with hands on the chimes shot out of the barrel Into the shallows. A boy and girl a little younger than he stood near. In bathing costumes. Daylight was coming. "The girl had a face and form not easily forgotten," Colin writes. "Although the light was dim 1 could see clearly after the darkness of the barrel and the first thing I saw was that shapely, beautiful girl." "Are you bound for Cambridge?" the boy asked with a friendly smile. "Yes." . . "I am Emory Woodbrldge and this is my sister Nancy. We come here every day at flood tide for a swim. We meet many tlde-rlders. Our house Is yonder on the hill. Go through the pine bush to the road. My father will help you. I'll take care of the barrel head." Colin with his bag set out for the road, wondering at the strange wa ter-wlsdora of Ebenezer Snoach. Mr. Woodbrldge welcomed him and put him to bed ahovestalrs where he slept until he was crtlled about two o'clock for dinner, at which he sat beside the plump, blond, dark eyed Nancy. "I know all about you," she said. "You are a great lover. My school friend, Pat Fayerweather, has told me the story." "Oh, that story!" he exclaimed. "Thinking of It kept me happy In the barrel. It would put life In a smoked fish. It was a barrelful of happiness that landed near your pretty feet."' . They had a merry visit and their theme was mostly Pat. When the young man had left them Nancy Woodbrldge said to her mother, "What a big, gentle, merry-mouthed boy. I could love him myself." Young Cabot spent three days with his family, and "rid bis mother out for an airing every day." Then mounting his bay mare, he proceed ed to Cambridge with his sword, firelock and pistol. He went first to his friend. President Samuel Langdnn of the famous college, who gave him almost a father's welcome, saying: 'I suppose that you have come to enlist?" "Yes, sir, and I nave a letter to Washington." "I will go with you." Immediately they set out foj- the headquarters of the army in the big square mansion, long a familiar ob jecL Washington was at his desk. The president of the college Introduced Intro-duced the young man, summing up In warm words his history at Harvard, Har-vard, as If conferring an honorary degree. "A good student, of an excellent disposition, a born athlete, the bel wrestler, the best farmer, the fleet est runner of his time at Harvard." These were the phrases he employed. em-ployed. Washington listened with dignity and a henevolent smile. In a letter to Colln's mother Is this description de-scription of the person of the Commander Com-mander In Chief: " 'George Washington of Virginia.' Those words have been flying around New England since John and Sam Adams returned from Philadelphia. Who has not heard of his wisdom, his 'noble spirit,' bis modesty, of his coat torn to rags by bullets, while horses were shot beneath htm when he fought with Braddock I I fe'red It was like the talk we have heard on the king's birthday and was prepared for disappointment. But he has conquered me. I am like a man thrown and stunned who Is trying to think how It happened. "He Is a big man at a guess two Inches taller than 1 broad at the hip and shouldeis. LooLs straight In your eyes. His head Is no bet ter shaped than others you have seen In Boston, but I swear I have never seen one so well set. I wondered why I felt a kind of awe In his presence. I know now. The big thing Is Inside of him. It reaches out and tojehes you when you look In his eyes anc when he moves his hand. It hi' yot agal.i when you hear his gentle voice. There are three words that come to me as I think of him. They are Power, Vitality, Kindness. I think that he has a mind as strong as our best pair of oxen and that God Is driving It. He has a good na tured face, a bit weathered, with a pock mark here and there not hnndsome. His straight nose Is a shade thick and large. Ills deep set, blue gray eyes are wide apart and the look dowr Into yon. Ills brownish hnlr, brushed back and powdered nnd falling In a queue. v:is a comely detail.

A bWafftlue sash spanned his breast from wnist to shoulder. From shot to ruffles every detail of his dress was sd mlrable. Still It was not his look nor his manners, genteel as they were, that reduced me to a sens, of smallness. It was the imiu un der It alL He has doubled my faith Id our cause." The preliminaries being over, the learned president said: "General, you hare bad time to survey the army. May I axk for your Impression of ItT "H Is a disorganised mass nf in. clad, poorly armed soldiers without a national spirit and with do know! edge of what Is expected of thtlng men. The New England troops feel that all men are equal even in a regiment, that a uniform cannot create a caste. So there Is little order, government, or discipline among them. We have only raw material ma-terial a mound of ore to he fused and slagged and shaped Into useful Iron." Turning to Colin he added: "i am glad to welcome young men like you to the army. You will I trust, bend your mind to Its problems. I wish you first to go down among the men in the line and get the feel of It. My orderly will now conduct you to the muste: master. For the present I will send your horse to my stable." Colin was mustered Into the com pany of Capt Amos Farnsworth from Groton. It was quartered In lodges made of hewn timber, rough boards and sail-cloth. Only ten men In the company were in uniforms and they were of varying colors red, bine and gray to suit the family taste. The most were In shabby farm clothing There were also ragged men in tirn boots. Some were unarmed. The Ithode Island regiment the smartest-look ing body of men In the army and well uniformed were In tents opposite op-posite the rude quarters of the Massachusetts boys. Captain Farnsworth gave his fellow fel-low townsman a hearty welcome. His left arm, broken and slashed at Hunker Hill, was In a sling. Colin remembered the tall, leaTi, bony, brown-bearded farmer, so often rightly worried as to the condition con-dition of his soul. There was a noticeable lack of co-ordination be tween his brain and the Incorporeal part of him. The human soul was a troublesome trouble-some asset In New England. It was menaced, frightened, persecuted by the ablest men schooled in the arts of the orator. It was yelled at. berated and cowed by Ignorant. well-meaning pulpiteers, jnjhe back country. The Inter and the outer man were often In a quarrel with each other. Amos Farnsworth always looked serious even when other men were laughing. His sad expression was relieved only by a quizzical look in his gray eyes. Mental activity produced pro-duced a singular effect upon his countenance. The skin on his broW rolled Into deep wrinkles. He had a marked fondness for the word "which," often misplaced In his conversation. He whs a widower about forty years of nge, "How are you?" Colin asked. "Anxious as a painter In a tree with the dogs Imrkin', which the fact Is I'm on the run with Satan hold o' my coat tall." the captain answered. He surveyed Colin from head to foot adding: "Say you're a mortal stout lookln' man which I'm glad you've come. There's goln to be a big wrastle here an all-fired wrastle between the Khode Islanders Island-ers and our rlgainetit. You're a big, bony, hard-meated cuss an' I'm a giara mistrustful o' them fellers. We'll need ye." The captain took a bite from a plug of tobacco which be called a "Virginia cake" nnd Introduced the young man to various officers In the regiment, after which they went for a walk together through the big camp. An Important recruit was often thus favored. The spirit of Farnsworth's com pany was for friendship, not for war. Stern discipline excited a degree of resent merit. The men addressed ad-dressed their officers as if they were all having a noon hour In the hay field. Kven the captain was "Amos" to every private. It was then probably the most remarkable re-markable army the world had seen a fair of good mitured. gossiping, gossip-ing, homesick, peace loving pioneers quartered In lines of tents and lodges and In public buildings. Outside the tents and lodges they saw numbers of men nnd women at work washing, scone with young children playing around the tubs They hud come to look after their husbands to see thu' they were fed and kept decent iy iean and nursed If wounded. They had lodgings In the village and came daily Into camp. What a contrast were these to the half world women who were wont to Infest an irtny ' There were fourteen thousand two tmndred men In this great Jolly fair of new world nloneers The churches snd the college halls were tilled with them Officers not prop' rly uniformed were dlstliiL-inshec from privates by 1 ribbons on llielr c.ips bare feet. There were beards of many shapes and colore. "I didn't know there was so much hair In the world," Colin said to Amos. "The poorer the man, th richer the crop." "Well, It takes time an' money to keep 'era mowed off. So they let 'em slide," Amos answered. "And they slide In all directions, up, down, sideways and straight ahead." At a point near the enemy they saw cannon balls from the British butteries thump the side of Prospect hill, throwing dust into the air and rlcochettlng down the slope, bounding bound-ing over rocks and slowing to a long roll. "Ain't that a caution?" said Farnsworth. Farns-worth. "Don't amount to much; they Just shoot at America an' ye know it's a mortal sight bigger' n the army. Don't hurt a hill to be wownded. Boys used to chase them balls till they found out how mean they was, which ye know they can kick a leg off ye, when ya think 'em harmless."

It Is the common bead frame of tht kindergarten, with beads strung on parallel wires. It is employed generally by the Persians Per-sians and the Chinese for calculating. for observation. Amos took a small telescopic spy-glass from his pocket and peered through the hole at the British line on Bunker bill. "There, take a peek," he said to Colin. "The British ain't more'n a mile off. Ye kin see the redcoats over thar. We call 'em lobsters.' "Lobsters?" "Uh huh. In our gab, them red boys are all lobsters," Amos went on seHously. "We call a new re crult 'a long face.' 'cause he's kind o' skeered an' homesick." On their way back they stopped at the parade ground to watch the drilling squads. The air was full of the shouted orders: "Half-cock your firelocks. "Handle your cartridge, "Prime your cartridge, "Shut your pans. "Heturn your rammers. "Poise your firelocks. "Cock your firelocks. "Present your firelocks." Eighteen, motions were needed In loading, aiming and discharging this weapon. "I've heard our guns were deadly dead-ly on Breed's hill and Bunker hill." said Colin. "I'h. huh ! They was." His graphic description of the fight began be-gan with a little assenting gfunl full of good nature. "Like the wrath o God I Ye see we didn't fire till them lobsters was close up, 'iKiut seventy feet off, which ye could almost shake hands with 'em. They had emptied rhelr guns. Only a few hit us.

His eyes glowed as be went on : "Them that wasn't aimed at run like a nigger that's seed a ghost. They formed an' come back In platoons.
