The n > -r did not spring to her feet

out a hand of welcome. The four men
1 coked down at tin* floor, and for tho next
minute the snap of the fire was like a
sound of musketry, and the tick-tack of
the clock wag aa a bell tolling out Its
death notes. By and by the mother
dropped her head to the table and a shiver
pasaad over her, and in a low. stern voice
the father asked:
"What do you hear from Valley
Forge?"
There was no answer With their eyes
on the floor the m n moved their feet un*

"I know '" shouted Zachariah in a voice
which thrill***! and startled "Aye! I see

I have done this—and ye, Tom and WiUlara

"But, fat tier—" lagan Zadok, when tha

his arm about he crl*d out:
"Skulkers from the camp! Deserters
