CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE ~ BECKY was waiting for Quint and Jennet in Aladdin's shed, her eyes round with excitement "Mr. Darby, there’re soldiers in the taproom., Six of enx 1 counted through a crack in the door. They went down to the Rock first and (l then they cdrhe up." The guard General Potter had ' spoken of. ..Quint’* face darkened. "Put up my horse, Becky, and you two go to the kitchen and stay there. And no peeking through the door crjick." An officer of the regular army was with General Potter tn the taproom, a tall man of pompous J bearing, resplendent tn the gold braid of his rank. General Potter introduced him i ( briefly. "General Van RensselaerMr. Quintus Darby." General' Van Rensselaer gav« a half-salute; Quint acknowledge it with a slight inclination of his head. jGeneral Van Rensselaer drew , ..himself up to an even more im» portant erectnesa. "You are the < owner of the property ceded tights to this ferry saros* the river,- and to maintain it* landing on this "I atn." - \. I*llo General drew a sheet of paper from inxtda ins tunic, looked down at it, m ir he wars i-n.imx IL In ths interests of defense, he anhoiineed, and for future invasion iho army wm taking over both . ' tarry ahd landing tor the duration of the War. A guard would be potted at the' landing night and day, Two twive-poundere would be . set up on the higher ground commanding the landing, na soon as they came from Canandaigua where they had been requisitioned. He folded the "paper. Quint had a Strong conviction that there was , nothing really written on it TAnd the tavern here?’’ he ■ asked. > ,■ "As a civilian .\.The General’s glance dropped for an instant to Quint’s- empty sleeve, “.. . you have , the right to carry on your business as long as it does not interfere th any way with the strategies of defense and offense, as, planned by out- councils of war.. Until some barracks are put up you are asked to feed the guard I am leaving here, for which expense you will be paid, when the money requisitioned comes In." ■ >• Now the General made a full . salute, signalled to Genera! Potter, turned on his heel with fine military precision and led the way out iof the taproom. , A loud guffaw-came from one of the four regulars they had left behind. One stepped up to tpe bar, saluted Toby. "By order of the Gov’ment of the United States of America, four rum flips, my fellow. for which expense vou will

Quint took one stride up to the fellow. “Your guard duty does not include this tavern. 1 give orders here. You will enter it only to eat. And trespassing abou. these premises will be reported to your commanding Lt be does not deal with it, 1 win." He spoke quietly though his blood was pounding a: his temples. The man swung ixcund. "Yous" But his sneer altered at the steeliness in Quint’s eyes, the set of his mouth. 41 , Quint went into als office, got out two pistola Perhaps ;the time had come to keep them at hand. He belted ,«mm on timseif. drew his coat down over i, returned to the taproom with th< other. "I’ve powder—not much, sb use it only when it is abt olutely necessary.

"Leave it where it is, young lady. I’ll take care of the safety of rny household." He turned to!Sarah to instruct her to fll supper plates for the four soldiers. He left them, then. 1 ’ ■] But through the next few days there proved nothing menacing in the guard so close Hat hand. They slept, two to turn, to g rough, canvas-covered shelter near the landing and when on duty sprawled under a tree on the high bank playing cards part pf the time and sleeping. Quint suspected,; tbs rspt. They gave Toby no trouble, spoke respectfully enough, tp Quint when they encountered him in the taproom.

I’ooy entereo a careriu account c* it tor future payment. If war was going, on, only the faintest echo of it reached the nver, nere. Across the river it was as peaceful. Some, coming co the taproom, repeated rumors they'd picked up—Hull naa reached Detroit, Hull nad crossed the river, and was in Canada. He nad a lot ot Kentucky volunteers with him —hard fighters they were. A trader, stopping the night, told ot hearing that the British already were tn flight. No one was interested to what might be happening at sea Tbs seas were a long way oft. Then, one afternoon. Judge Merriam ce me into the taproom. Quint ! as surprised, tor the Judge seldom came to Black Rock, as the affairs of ms office Were confined to the Buffalo village and neighboring Te-osah-way. “Have you ume' for a council at a tort, Darby T Tv* need ot you!" Quint was deeply gratified, remembering that afternoon in the Judge:* office He nad not been unaware ot a eooinesa m General Potter** manner when ne came to the tavern with General Van Rena, ehiaer. But evidently Judge Mar» nam was still friendly, "Come into the parlor, sir." • th* parlor the older man «aak down into a chair with a heavy Sigh. “You’ve II quiet here, Darby. You don’t know ths blessing of II: Il'lFbedlkm in out villMga, Regular* have wqrip they’re quartered here, there and everywhere No on* know* when hi* bed may be requisitioned. An undisciplined lot, too. Brawls go on all night long tn the streets and in the taverns,’ while our militia waits to be reinforced by them, down river. The militia've no arms, naif of them,, and what food they eat they have to beg for or stckl..." He roused, pounded a fist on the chair arm. “A damnable situation! The government throws us into war and then forgets us!" For all his show of anger his face bad s deeply aggrieved look. This was tar different talk from that which had gone on around the Judge’s office- table, that other afternoon. Disturbingly different, too, from the rumors that had come into the taproom. Quint spoke of Huh’s advance. Now the Judge rose half out at his chair. \ “Man, don’t you know 1 They've pushed Huh back into Detroit. Axiu he can't hold a position there tor long. Brock’s 'got too strong a force. Half of Hull’s men are deserting. They've no supplies to stand a siege and Fort Mgckmac'e fallen and Fort Dearborn. Tecumseh’s joined Up with the British ..." He stopped, settled back in his chair. “A finger of brandy. Darby, would be very weltcine."
