The officer listened to him wi:h intense Interest, his countenance gradually lighting into a smile of pleasure; and the instant Mr. "Wharton concluded, he turned on his heel and left the apartment. The Whartons observed the dragoon, on gain-

orders were given to some of the troop, and horsemen left th valley, at full ßpeed, by various roads. The heavy tread of the dragoon soon announced his second approach. lie bowed again politely as he re-entered the room, and walkin up to Captain Wharton, said, with comic gravity : "Now, sir, iny principal business being done, may I beg to examine the quality of that wig?" The British officer imitated the manner of the other, as h deliberately uncovered Us hfad and, hauding him the wis, observed, "I hope, sir, it is to your lik"I cannot, without violating the truth, ay it is," returned the dragoon ; "I pre"SOW, SrE, MAT I EXAMINE THAT WIOT fer your ebony hair. But that must have been a sad hurt you have received under this enormous black patch." You appear so close an observer of things, I should like your opinion of it. sir," said Henry, removing the silk, and exhibiting the cheek tree from blemish. "Upon my word, you improve most rapIdly in externals," added the trooper; if I could but persuade you to exchange this old surtout for that handsome blue coat by your side, I think I never could witness a more agreeable metamorphosis. Young Wharton very composedly did as was required ; and stood an extremely handsome, well-dressed young man. The dragoon looked at him for a moment with the drollery that characterized his mantier, and then continued : "This U a newcomer in ti- scene; it is usual, you know, for strangers to be introduced ; I am Captain Lawton, of the Virginia Horse." "And I, sir, am Captain Wharton, of his majesty's COth regiment of foot, returned Henry, bowing stiffly. The countenance of Lawton changed instantly, and his assumed quaintness vanished. He viewed the f .ure of Captain Whartor. proudly swelling with a pride that disdained further coucealmwit, md exclaimed, with great earnestness: "Captain Wharton, from my soul I pity you : "Oh, then," cried the father in agony, "if you pity him, dear sir, why molest him? lie is not a spy; nothing but a desire to see his friend? prompted him to venture so far from tae regular army in disguise. Leave him with us ; there is no reward, no sum, which I will not cheerfully pay." "Sir, your anxiety for your friend excuses your language," said Lawton, haughtily; "but you forget I am a Virginian, and a gentleman. Turning to the young man, he continued: "Were you ignorant. Captain Wharton, that our pickets have been below you for several days?" "I did not know it until I reached them, and it was then too late to retreat," taid Wharton. "I came out, as .vy father has mentioned, to see my friends, understanding your parties to be near the Highlands, or surely I would not hv.e ventured." A11 this may be very true; but the affair of Andre ha3 made us on the alert. When treason reaches the grade of general officers. Captain Wharton, it behooves the friends of liberty to be vigilant." Henry bowed to this remark in distant silence, but Sara, ventured to urge something in Dehalf of h'r brother. The dragoon heard her, apparently with commiseration ; but, willing to avoid useless and embarrassing petitions, he answered mild"I am not the commander of the party. madam ; Major Dunwoodie will decide what must be done with your brother." "Dunwoodie!" exclaimed Frances, with a face in which the roses contended for the mastery with the paleness of apprehension; "thank God! then llenr; is safe 1" Lawton regarded her with a mingled expression of pity and admiration; then shaking his head doubtingly, he continued : I hope so ; and, with your permission. we -will leave the matter for his decision." Then, sir, we may expect the pleasure of Major Dunwoodie's company shortly?" asked Miss Teyton. "Immediately, madam," answered the dragoon; "expresses are already on the road to announce to him our situation." "We shall always be happy to see Major Dunwoodie." Captain Lawton inquired if there was not a peddler of the name of Birch who lived in the valley at times. "At times only, I believe, sir," replied Mr. Wharton, cautiously; "he is seldom here : I may say I never see him." Tbat is strange, too," said the trooper, looking at the disconcerted host intently, "considering he is your next neighbor; and to the ladies it must be somewhat inConvenient. I doubt not that that muslin in the window seat cost twice as much as he would have asked them for it." Mr. Wharton turned in consternation, and saw some of the recent purchases scattered about the room. "I had a wish to break this Mr. Ilirch of his unsocial habits, and gave him a call this morning, and had I found him within, I should have placed him where he would enjoy life in the midst of society, for a short time at least." "And where might that be, sir?" asked Mr. Wharton. "The guard room," said the trooper, dryly. "What is the offense of poor Birch?" afiked Mis Peyton. "Poor!" cried the captain; "if he is poor, King George is a bad paymaster. If I catch him he will dangle from the limbs of one of his namesakes." It was no new intelligence to any of the family that Harvey Birch was distrusted, and greatly harassed by the American army. His escapes from tktlr

hanus. no less than his imprisonments, had been the conversation of the country in too many instances, and under circumstances of too great mystery to be easily forgotten. In fact no small part of the bitterness expressed by Captain Law ton against the peddler arose from the unaccountable disappearance of the latter when intrusted to the custoc.y of two of his most faithful dragoons. He sat in portentous silence brooding over the exploit of his prisoner until a trumpet suddenly broke on the ears of the party sending its martial tones up the valley in startling melody. The trooper rose instantly from the table exclaiming: "Quick gentlemen to your horses ; there comes Dunwoodie," and, folio weil by his officers, he precipitately left the room. With the exception of the sentinels left to guard Captain Wharton, the dragoons L.ounted, and marched out to meet their comrades. On getting sufSciontly near, however, to a body of horse of more than double his own number, to distinguish countenances, Lawton plunged his rowels into his charger, and in a moment he was by the side of his commander.

CHAPTER V. The ladies of the Wharton family had collected about a window. Frances gazed with a singleness of interest that absorbed all other considerations. The two parties had not yet joined, before her quick eye distinguished one horsexan in particular f rm those around him. The dragoon sat in the saddle with a firmness and ease that showed him master of himself and horse his figure uniting the just proportions of strength and activity, being tall, round, and muscular. To his officer Lawton made his report, and, side by side, they rode iato the field opposite to the cottage. The heart of Frances beat with a pulsation nearly stifling as he paused for a moment and took a survey of the building, with sparkling glance; her color changed and as she saw the youth throw himself from the saddle, she was compelled to seek relief for her trembling limbs in a chair. The officer gave a few hasty orders to his second in command and approached the cottage. Frances rose from her seat, and vanished from the apartment. The dragoon ascended the steps of the piazza, and had txirely time to touch the outer door, when it opened to his admission. Frances silently led the way into a vacant parlor, and. turning to the soldier, frankly placing both her hands in his own, exclaimed : "Ah, Dunwoodie ! how hsppy, on many accounts, I am to see you! I have brought you in here to prepare you to meet an unexpected friend in the opposite room." "To whatever cause It may be owing," cried the youth, pressing her hands to his lips, ."I, too, am happy in being able to see you alone. Frances, the probation you have decreed is cruel: war and distance may shortly separate us forever." "We must submit to , the necessity which governs us. But it is not love speeches I would hea now ; I have other and more important matters for your attention. Dear Dunwoodie, you know my sentiments this war once ended, and you may take that hand forever but I can never consent to tie myself to you by any closer union than already exists, so long as you are arrayed in arms against iny only brother. Even now, that brother is awaitiag your decision to restore him to liberty, or to conduct him to a probable death." "Your brother?" cried Dunwoodie, starting and turning pale; "your brother! explain yourself what dreadful meaning is concealed in your words?" "Has not Captain Lawton told you of the arrest of Henry?" continued Frances, ia a voice barely audible. "He told me of arresting a captain of the COUv in disguise, but without menLA WTO ?l WAS 600 X BT THE 8IDE OF IIIS COMMANDER. tioning where or whom," replied the major in a similar tone. "Dunwoodie ! Dunwoodie !" exclaimed Frances, in the most fearful apprehensions, "what means this agitation?" As the major slowly raised his face she continued, "Surely, surely, you will not betray your friend, my brother your brother to an ignominious death?" "Frances!" exclaimed the young man in agony, "what can I do? I would this moment die for you for Henry but I cannot forget my duty cannot forfeit my honor; you yourself would be the first to despise me if I did." "Peyton Dunwoodie !" said Frances, solemnly, and with a face of ashy paleness, "you have told me you have sworn that you loved me. Do you think I can throw myself into the arms of a man whose hands are stained with the blood of my only brother?" 'Frances! you Tiring my very heart; then pausing, to struggle with his feelings, he endeavored to force a smile, as he add ed, "but after all, we may be torturing ourselves with unnecessary fears, and Henry, when I know the circumstances. may be nothing more than a prisoner of war; in which case, I can liberate him on parole." "Oh I there can be no Just grounds to t'oubt it; I knew I knew Dunwoodie, you would never desert ns in the hour of our greatest need !" The violence of her feelings prevailed, and the agitated girl fcund relief in a flood of tears. Frances having sufficiently recovered her recollection to command herself, now eagerly led the way into the opposite room. The salutations of the young men were cordial and frank, and, on tho part of Henry Wharton, as collected as if nothin.; had occurred to disturb his self-pos session. After exchanging greetings with every member of the family, Major Dunwoodie reckoned to the fentinel, whom Captain Lawton had left in charge of the prisoner, to leave the room. Turning to Captain Wharton, he inquired, mildly: "Tell me, Henry, the circumstances of this disguise, in which Captain Lawton reports you to have been found." "The disguise was used by me to en able me to visit my friends. "But you did not wear it until you saw the troop of Lawton approaching?" "Oh! no," interrupted Frances, eager ly, forgetting all the circumstances in her anxiety for her brother; "Sarah and my-. self placed them on him when the dra goons appeared ; it was our awkwardness that led to the discovery." The countenance of Dunwoodie brightened, as, turning his eyes is fondness on

the speaker, he listened to her explanation. "Probably some articles of yojr own," he continued, "which were at hand, nnd were used on the spur of the moment." "Xo," said Wharton, with dignity; "the clothes were worn by me from the city, they were procured for the purpose to which they were applied, and I intended to use them in my return this very day."

BOASTS OF OLDEST PULPIT. Church In Alban y, N Y., IIa a Desk Imported In KJ.'O. Albany, N. Y., has the honor of owning the oldest pulp't on the continent, along with that of being the ollest chartered city in the United States. The rulpit stands in the First Reformed church, which was built In the year of the building of the old California missions, 1793, but, unlike them, It Is as strong and in as good repair as It was when the builders left it. The pulpit was brought over from Holland by the Dutch ia to stand In their new church, which was Just building. Twenty-five boaver skins were sent to Holland as part payment, but they became damaged In transit, so the pulpit was donated by the Dutch West India Company. The building served as a fort as well as a church, cannon being mounted upon the roof, and while the service was going on within sentinels watched for signs of a foe. To-day the old hour glass and ancient Dutch Bible are still ia their accustomed places, while In the olden time the pews in front of it were o;aipied by Col. Peter Schuyler, Albany's first Mayor; the patrons of the Vau Itensselaers-. who owned land alon.? both, shores of the Hudson river for twenty-four miles, and Gen. Philip Schuyler, one of the first three major generals !n the Revolutionary army, also first United States Senator from New York. Within Its shado.r the famous Iroquois chieftain. Klug Ilendriek, who with Sir William Johnson defeated the French and Indians in the battle of Lake George, wasfconverted to Christianity and Col. Aaron Burr, Ualted States Senator from New York and Vice President under Thomas JeCferson, was married to Theodosia Provost, President Roosevelt sat before it and listened to the preacher's words as a member of this church when Governor of New York State. The old pulpit Is rich years and honors ; :ts history Is Albany's history. tlie cnuren s members having taken part ia all the events of interest that have happened in "ye olde. towne" since Its founding.

That this is a world of disappoint ments, Mrs. Green had long ago learn ed ; but she found one more disappoint ment to add to her list during her visit to her daughter-ln-Ia-w. "I declare, j-ou never can count on what folks will do, and you might Just as well give up first as last,' she said, dejectedly, to Mr. Green on her return. "There I counseled them to name that baby Emma Louisa, for aunt; and what do you supiwse aunt has done a'ready?' Mr. Green professed himself unable to conjecture. "She's willed away the Hunker Hill teapot and the Paul Kevere sugar tongs to the Historical folks," said Mrs. Green, bitterly. "And I expect nothing but what the blue and white counterpane will go next, and there'll be that poor, helpless baby without a single Inheritance to her name!" "WiMi lila Wife's Money." Once upon a time a man married a woman who had Inherited $J00 from a grandfather. This was nil she ever received, but the man never got credit for his efforts the rest of his life. He built a new store. "Did It with his wife's money," the neighbors said. The home was made over and enlarged. "His wife's money did it," was the only comment. The little measly $.-300 she Inherited was given the credit for everything he did during life, and when be died and his widow put up a monument with his life Insurance, "Her money paid for that," was said again. Kut this Is what her money really went for: During her cnjrnsement she Njusht herself a $.1.7) piano and a .$150 diamond ring, andin a few weeks lost the ring and there was always some regret that she didn't also lose the piano.

A refreshingly now ana changed appearance may bo given to a room by having the piano In another corner for n change, but if that cor ner Is near a window or close to n register the sehen.? bad better be aban doned. A piano Is extremely sensitive fo cold, heat or dampness. It is a great mistake to put It too near to the fire or radiator, because the heat is apt to affect the delicately constructed Bounding .oard and interfere with the tone of the piano. A piano which stands by an open window on a rainy day is almost sun to he damaged. The dampness rusts the wires and otherwise affects the interior. When disclosing of the bric-a-brac room do not save a large share of It for the top of the piano, rather let the Instrument be unincumbered by books and ornaments so that the' purity of the tone will not Ik interfered with. Delffu for Striped Material. The drawing shows a simple and effective design for striped voile, silk or linen. The nodel fi ck was of medium blue linen, with a fine strl'e In a darker shade. The fold about the yoke and the girdle were of the darker blue shade In taffeta silk, the hand embroidery used on the bodice front also being in the darker shade In wash cotton. Cluny lace and cream batiste were used for the yoke and sleeves. "Gram Widow.' No one says "grace widow" in speaking of n vornan separated from her husband. Yet "grace" and not "grass" widow would be technically correct "Grass" Is simply a misspelling of "grace," sanctioned now by custom. When divorces were rare, a woman separated legally from her husband wa called a "vlrtuea de gratia" by the Roman church', and the French called her a "veuve de grace." The meaning of both terms is the same "widow by grace." We took the "veuve" from tho Trench and translated It projvrly into "widow," but the "grace" we ineorornted Into our language, misspelling It In the prwess. Sarir? from the Talnind.

There en be no prettier style for the waist of a summer silk gown than the one with the little yoke and trimmings of tine Uuife-pleatlng.

Most Victim of nervous lirrauuonn

' 'Need Only Rest. One of the features of modern times Is the prevalanee of what we term neurasthenia, or nervous breakdown, says the London. Express. These names ap ply to a condition of physical and mental Ill-health which is the direct result of the age In which we live and the pace at which we are living. Massage and electricity and novel "treatments" and "cures' are called upon to repair what we have brought upon ourselves by our up-to-date ways of life, by worry and excitement. There are hundreds of women of the upper and middle classes Just now be wailing their "nerves" and crying out that headaches and Insocnnla and depression are spoiling their lives. This is a neurotic age, and half the world of men and women not only burn the candle at both ends, but in the middle as well. The strenuous life is almost a necessary to the man or woman who Is ambitious socially, politically or commercially. We are so anxious to 'get on" we attempt to do far more thsn we are constitutionally unfit for, and nervous breakdown is the inevita ble result Lack of repose Is a prime factor In the eausation of "nerves;" the constant rush In the social and busi ness world, the frantic ptrsult of pleas ure and nmusement are frequent pre cursors of nervous Ill-health. We reck lessly expend our energy on trifies; we are constantly up and doing; we have no time to rest, and nolodj listens to the advocates and disciples of the simpler life. Home life, quiet domesticity, are becoming rarer every year. "Simple pleasures," ''homely jovs" and the family circle" are ridiculously old fashioned terms. Is it any wonder that nervous breakdown and premature decay are on the Increase? The remedy lies mainly with us women our influence can do a great deal, our example more, to counteract the restlessness and excitement char acteristic of this age. We must preach the gospel of rest. Hard work nowadays means severe nervous strain, and the constant application to business and professional af fairs demands regular periods of quiet and complete rest if the workers are to retain their health. It is the more Im portant that the home atmosphere be such as will restore the balance and lessen the tension of the Inevitable nerve strain outside. Unquletness In the home, the tyranny of social engagements and worldly 'duties,' following upon a strenuous working day, gives no opportunity for repose. The power to be quiet the vir tue of repose, is worth cultivating In this age of neurotic women ; the woman who Is constantly on the move, striv Ing after something Just out of her reach, diffuses an atmosphere of dis quiet and vulgar unrest around her. To be busy does not necessarily mean to achieve; bustling activity Is too often barren of real progress. ONE OF A SEVEN-OAR CHEW. Death of a Clerjryman Who Took Part In n Famous Victory. Rev. J. C. Cox, who was the sole surviving member of the famous "sevenoar crew" of Oxford University, which won the Grand Challenge cup at lienley In 1S4., died recently at Eastbourne, England, at the advanced age of ST years. On account of his years and be ing a member of the noted crew Cot had long been regarded as the most not ed oarsman In the world. Dut per haps the details of this "seven-oar race have never reached the ears of the present generation. Oxford and Cambridge subscription rooms were the opponents in the Hnal" heat for th-j "Grand," but Fletcher Menzles, stroke of the Oxford boat, was taken ill Immediately before the race. When Jt was seen that Mcnzies could not possibly row Oxford asked permission to put in a substitute, Cambridge positively refused, giving as a reasom that It established a bad precedent which would afterward be an excuse for the wholesale drafting of men. Then Oxford decided to row with seven men. To this the Cantabs objected and appealed to Lord Camoys, who was the referee, to know If they wero compelled to row against seven men.
