Snow was falling In a bitter northwest wind. It was no rson to he time for any sane Colonel Itall, In command at Trenton, had had a merry dinner and with other officers and their ladies was dancing in the public hall. The fid dlerg were playing. Between dances the they could hear the cold wind in windothe tsnow and pelting chimney top w-panes. What a night ! They shivered and fathered before the fireplace and filled and drained their glasses again. It was a night for joy with nothing to fear. About midnight a uniformed lackey brought a letter to Colonel Itall who was in command. Engaged In a pretty story, he put the letter in his pocket. Then in the whirl of giiiety he forgot it Nine miles from Trenton, a loyalist woman had seen Washington with two thousand men crossing the Delaware in the darkness. She had ridden post haste through the storm with the warning, now hidden In the pocket of Colonel Ball. Who but an American would think of crossing a big river filled with broken Ice and marching nine miles with a storm raging in which two men were frozen to death? The Europeans were to learn that fighting for liberty and fighting for pay were a different Kina ot ousiuess. At eight o'clock In the morning, Washington fell on the city with two detachments. Ball's Hessians surrendered, while other enemy troops fled In panic The whole British structure on the Delaware was shattered by this General Donop's army restroke. General Cornwallis abantreated. doned his plan of going to Europe and took command in New Jersey. Washington occupied Trenton. Soon Cornwallis and his men came on to give him battle. On the second of January, '77, the American commander crossed Assanpink creek and made a pretense of throwing up Cornwallis tried to follow and was repulsed by artillery. Night came and Cornwallis decided to Washington wait- until morning. slipped away In the night leaving men to keep the campfires burning ami to imitate the chorus of picks, shovels, axes and ox teams at work. At daylight, Cornwallis began to throw his cannon balls upon empty ground. He attacked nothing. The American camp was deserted. "The d d Yankees" were of course far on their way to Before he could arrive Princeton. there that link In the liritish chain would be broken and Washington on his way to safety. Cornwallis had made a shrewd guess. Four hundred men were taken at Princeton with guns and stores. The remainder of the British force scattered, having suffered a severe drubbing. This winter fighting with wounded men floundering In pools of blood, unabsorbed on frozen ground, was revolting. At Princeton the bleeding was not severe, less than three hundred on both sides having been killed or wounded but the men engaged saw more blood than they had seen since the war began. Our men were at first severely set upon and began to retreat but the Chief rallied them and they came through with a handsome victory. The enlistment period of two regiments expired that. day. The. men had long been looking forward eagerly to thai hour of their release. It came. they were going home. They applied for their disGeneral Washington met charges. them with a grave countenance. He reminded them that It was a critical time. Their country and their homes were now in greater peril than ever Success depended on the before. dogged faithfulness of this body of men. He knew that the feet of many were bleeding, that all were weary but relief was near. The men got together for a conference and presently announced that they had decided to go home. They were sick of the hardships and the Light-hearte- blood-lettin- Again Washington appealed to them and now with very solemn words. A time had come when each and every man of them should know and feel that he held in his hands the fate of America. Under those circumstances could they bear the shame of leaving him And going to their homes? Or would they continue to he heroes and set a needed example to the youth of our land? Why stop now when the weary march was near Its end? There were many who heard the Chief. Among them was old Amos Farns-wortwho shouted: "They won't leave us. Lord God o' Israel I A man that leaves oughter be hung an' thar ain't no mistake." men began cheering. A thousand Those who sought discharges abandoned their design and soon fell In the march to Pluckemln on the way to Morristown. It had taken Howe's powerful army six months to drive General Washington across the Delaware. The "grfod fighting weather" was gone. Winter operations In a strange country were "skunk meat" to the European. Washington knew It. Soon Heath and Putnam In the Highlands began to threaten New York, whereupon the British set out for that safe retreat where they could find comfort and security and he done with unexpected winter treacherous countryside. tn h dev-Utrlo- W. N. U, Salt Lake City, No. 11-1- 933 the American commander in chief had gained time for needed recuperation. The spirit of army and people had improved. The New Jersey folk had been aroused to fever heat by outrages which are the inevitable result of occupation by the troops of an enemy. It was a favorable time for recruiting, but compared with the British army. Washington had a feeble force of men, billeted in Morristown. Soon a British spy was discovered io camp. His name was Luce. Should they hung him? "No." Washington said. "We will make a wise use of hi in." Officers were apparently Impressed by tbe personality of Mr. I. lice. They flattered him with friendly attentions, giving him much information and no time to visit the billets. A plan was made under which the battalions marching out of cover ami returning to it were paraded three times before him. False returns on the number of troops billeted in that countryside were scattered carelessly on the desk of the adjutant when Mr. Luce came to dine alone with him. In the midst of the dinner, the adjutant was suddenly called away. The spy was now loaded and ready to depart. An easy way out was prepared for him. He vanished, taking to British headquarters in New York a report of the force In Morristown which Insured Its safety. Young Alexander Hamilton was In great favor with the Chief. At a din ner of the staff Washington called on him for a speech. The young man acquitted himself with such wit and charm that the General arose and shook his hand. After that all the officers showed him great respect and the boy was often In their councils. Summer came. The last detachment of the liritish had left A in boy for Staten Island. Burgoyne was expected in northern New York with an army from Canada. The most difficult problem of the revolution now challenged the ingenuity of the Commander in Chief. He must prevent the formidable army of Howe on York island from going up the Hudson to aid Burgoyne. The force in the Highlands was strengthened. Putiiam had put a powerful chevaux-de-frlsacross the Hudson near Fort Montgomery to prevent ships from passing and to hold them under ruinous gunfire. It was an immense Iron chain supported by log booms a few feet apart and securely anchored to both shores. Two forts on the river were well manned and must be reduced before ships could pass. Beacon lights on Butter hill at the northern entrance of the Highlands would flash the news of an attack to Beacon hill and on southward to Mullender's hill and Snake hill and the lower Hudson. Howe might win his way but it would be a Washington's perilous undertaking. problem was to detain Howe and encompass Burgoyne who, once landed at the head of Lake Champlain, could never hope to return. Howe, having waited long for reinforcements from Europe, embarked his army. He started southward, evidently heading for Philadelphia. Washington now said to his Jersey yeomen : "Go home and do your harvesting and return as soon as possible." In a camp almost deserted he sat down with members of his staff to consider the great problem. Plans for the encompnsstnent of Burgoyne were complete when a messenger came from congress to announce that Gates had been given full command in the north. Washington had ample evidence of the ambition of Gates to supplant him and of his unwholesome political Influence. Schuyler, commanding in upper New Ywk, was a gentleman to his liking and In the Chief's opinion quite equal to the task ahead of him. Still, as usual, he must bow to the will of congress. Gates was a cunning politician. Morgan's riflemen and Arnold's brigade were to be sent north to help him. e slow-foote- CHAPTER XIII Ths Coming o? Pat and the British From the North and the Battle. General Washington wanted reli able and early Information as to the Colonel Cabot, force of Burgoyne. eager for news of his sweetheart, had applied for service in the north. An express messenger had Just arrived with a dispatch announcing that Bur goyne's army expected to embark from St. John's by the tenth of June. "There is a dense wilderness on either side of the lake," Colin said. "It would be easy for a man hidden In a treetop along the shore to esti mate the force. If you will trust me tn the matter I will get correct infor mation and arrange for relays to ride night and day until It comes to your hand." "I will commit to you this undertak Ing, for there Is no man In whose prudence, energy and good Judgment I have greater confidence," said the Chief. "You know the northern road and many people who live on It. You may prepare your regiment to set out tomorrow for Bennington, where you will report to General Stark for duty." The regiment set out with horses following laden with hat baggage. There are Illuminating entries In Oolln's diary as to the northward Journey through Dnnbury and New Mil ford.

"When the leaders of humanity de cide to leave the old road and take a new direction, there is much halting and waiting." he said. "The new way must be cleared of ancient prejudice.

Allen was surprised and delighted when, after the service. Colin shook his hand and Introduced himself. "The fighting parson" became a firm friend of the young colonel, and Stark invited both of them to dinner. Allen's son was a missionary at a settlement near the lake In the north. "He will help you," said the parson. "I will give you a letter to him and a map of the road and trails. I think that the British are now embarked. The Six Nations have gathered near the head of the lake to wait for them. I think that you had better be on your way." Colin left his regiment in command of the capable Major Humphries and set out on his northern Journey that afternoon, stopping at a log inn, when darkness fell, to rest his mare for the night. As usual, he "hayed, oated and sirawed her" with his own hand. After three days in the saddle he came to the rude hamlet in a deep valley near the lake where he found the young missionary. The British had not yet passed. Young Allen, disqualified for military service by lameness, was eager for any chance to help the great cause. The danger was that the big flotilla might pass any chosen point in the darkness of the night when a reckoning would be impossible. It was bound to be a g long, procession of sloops and bateaux. Studying a map of the lake, they chose two stations about ten miles apart. Allen would await the invasion on a point near his home, Colin on an Island some ten miles northward. That evening, with his destination in view, Colonel Cabot set out for it in a small boat. It was a lonely Island covered thick with pine, spruce and hemlock. Its southern end dwindled to a narrow stony point. Apart from the forest, where the land began to taper, stood the stub of a lone hemlock. Its upper part, shattered by lightning, had fallen in the wind. It now lay splintered, decaying In the shallows. He concealed his boat in bushes and lay down with his blanket on a carpet of and had a restful sleep. At daylight he climbed some ten feet to the ragged top of the stub and found, as he expected, only a shell of sound timber that enclosed a mass of damp decay. He began to throw it out and soon discovered that it crumbled and packed under his weight until he had a firm footing and comfortable accommodation for his stature inside the shell. Opposite his eyes, with his knife, he made two holes like those of a woodpecker, fronting This little timber both channels. tower, with its diminutive windows, offered an ideal opportunity to view the passing of Burgoyne's army. For two days, from dark to dark, he sat many hours in a treetop like a bird, looking northward for signs of the coming caravan. Soon after sunrise on the third day he saw a new island with silvered edges and white towers In the distance. He watched it through his glass, thrilled by the thought that in the great procession moving toward him was a fragment of mortality which had- - filled his later life with Inspiration. Vast beyond his expectation was that endless flotilla streaming down out of the north ou the smooth, wide, water alley between high mountain ridges. Its length waved backward Into dim, misty reaches of ttie lower lake. When it had come within a mile or so of his island. Colin went to his station in the hollow stub. Before the front of the long procession was abreast he heard a band The flotilla playing merry music. was led by painted Indians in canoes. Soon he saw the first rank of the Immense bateaux, each about forty feet In length and some seven feet wide, and each worked by four men head and stem men and middle men. What a colorful. Impressive pageant was this moving down through the prime val wilderness with regimental flags British grenadiers flying! In red coats and white breeches1 Germans In blue helmets, topped with metal, and In yellow gleaming breeches; women, hundreds of women, some In gay attire; blue veils white veils, and many children; oxen, horses, wagons, tumbrels, cannon; happy voices like those of a crowded street In London town. The floating caravan was flanked by six ninety ton sloops. Through the long summer day Colin stood In his wooden tower counting and making notes.

In the missionary's house General Washington to a wrote report sadand half an hour later was In his morndle hurrying southward. In the horse at a ing he mounted a fresh own to be his for arranging farm, sent on to Bennington. That night he arrived at Stark's headquarters and within ten minutes a mounted courier was on the south road with Colin's dispatch. After a few days' training witn General Stark he 'received an order from the Commander In Chief to go to Fort Ticonderoga aud report as soon as possible on the plans of the British.. On his journey he spent a night at Skenesborough, where he found a force of Americans. He learned that to Rurgoyne's army was advancing the met he Invest the fort. There scout Israel Sapp, who told him that Mrs. Bowlby had sent her children to a friend In Albany and was earning big wages driving an ox team for the Was it her Interest In roenemy. mance which had taken her to the British camp? The inn was closed and Sergeant Sapp had found accommodation in the house of a of the name of King. Colin snent the night there. While he sat at the breakfast table next morning there came an abrupt change In the situation. "Has St. Clair fortified Sugar hill?" when a . .. sou.er uiu peek-hol- 1" Xn one-arme- d mill-han- he asked. "No," Sapp answered. "Not men enough there to do it." "Then Ticonderoga will fall. The hill commands the fort." "Congress has not provisioned It for a siege." Their talk was Interrupted by the roar of cannon. the British gunboats," said "I don't know what we will do. My wife Is near her time and sick in bed. I cannot move until she is out of the straw." The cannonading Increased. King arose from the table to go Suddenly a cannon ball bounded through a window and against the leg of Sergeant Sapp, breaking it and crashing through a door. "My G d !" said Sapp. "If It was a battle I wouldn't mind, but I hate to lose a leg eating breakfast." Colin helped King to set the bone and put splints on the leg of the wounded man. That done he mounted his mare and set out for the fort. Soon he came upon St. Clair's little army in retreat. Congress had failed to provision them. They would have been starving within a week. So they had to quit the fort. Colin set out for Stark's camp with a heavy heart. He wrote his dispatch when he halted to give his mare an hour of rest that evening and rode on until he came to a log Inn at midHe was up and off at daynight. light. Before he had put his horse to hay at Stark's camp an express rider was clattering down the road with his dispatch toward the first relay twenty miles beyond. So the disheartening news went on to Washington. Soon John Adams was saying: "We shall never succeed until we hang a few generals." It was a hasty remark. He would better have threatened the necks of a few politicians. A few days later an address to the troops came from General Washington. It was posted at headquarters and read to officers and men on Sunday by Parson Allen. "Our situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better," it said.
