Now she poured a little coffee, and swallowed it without relish. It was im- passible to eat. She pulled a coverlet from the bed, and wrapping it about her, sat gazing into the tire. Site was still sitting when the logs crumbled and there remained but a red glow among the gray ashes. Long after she had crept into bed, her eyes stared wide open into the black ness; yet with the first hint of dawn she was up and about, and in spite of angry stutterings from the landlady, and sleepy yawns from Peter, she was soon upon the road again. "A high and nighty hussy!" sniffed the lady of the (lolly Bush after them. "Up to mischief, I'll be bound. I like not folk who make one jump whenever they speak." It was late in the afternoon when they came upon the outskirts of the camp. Bad roads had delayed them. Once they had taken a wrong turning, and an hour was lost in regaining the highroad. They had been fortunate in meeting no enemy, but, truth to tell, the the redcoats were glad enough to lie snug in the city rather than venture forth into the open jaws of Washing- ton's army. There was a lull about Philadelphia just then, while both sides drew breath for another tussle. "1 demand to see General Washing- ton," said Mistress Wendell to the sol- dier who barred her path. " 'Tis busi- ness of the utmost importance." "I•lave you letters for his excel- lency? He has given orders that he can see no one," answered the mats, respect fully enough. "1 have no letters, but something more important—news." She consid- ered a moment. "Tell the general 1 conte from Colonel Aaron Burr." "Will you dismount, madam, and en- ter the house? I will give your message to one his officers." oft o It seemed to the impatient woman pacing the bare .hallway that she had had an age to wait when the man ap- pearedg I ai again, followed by n officer, who regarded her curiously. She put up her hand. to straighten her riding hat, andglatcc d furtively fo r a mirroe. There was none in sight, but she read admiration in the young man's eyes, and was content with herself.

"Alas, sir, I have no proofs. "l'is my conviction that this is 5o." can be no conviction without proofs." His hand slightly relaxed its hold upon the stiff plater, and he leaned back in his chair. "But pray tell the your story, madam." He was eyeing her narrowly, and 00 small detail of her face and manner es- caped Iran. The gleaning eyes and flushed cheeks argued strung excite- ment. Ile glanced at her lauds, to find them steady, elapsed tightly together. "She is either a woman desperately false or desperately true. 'Twill he diilf- cult to Judge," was the thought in Itis mind. 1 Mistress Alicia, as she began her story, read the general's indicision, and the rapt innocence of her manner might almost have deceived Aaron'Burr him- self. "I should hate to pain your excel- lency with the tale of any man's duplic- ity, but to speak ill of this man is al- most beyond my strength. I beg you to judge hint gently." Eyes and voice were most appealing. She was edging iter way carefully, tal- king notice of every turn, and avoiding an visible obstacles. At his business- like answer, "Pray proceed with your tale," she discarded sentiment at once. "It was while he formed one of Gen- eral Hancock's fancily that 1 first met Aaron Burr. My own name is Alicia Wendell, your excellency. 1 was upon a visit in the city. He became most de- voted to ole, and told me much of his history." She hesitated. "Even of Isis disagreement with yourself, sir," she added finally. The general's brow darkened. "Go on," he said, and she continued smooth- ly, showing no pleasure at the success of her small diplomacy. "Even then I suspected his dealings with the British, but you may know somewhat of the fascination of his man- ner. It blinded ane to all else." A flash of contempt passed over the himself.
