Peter 'rose quietly to his feet, and be-

Apparently there was not a nervous

blissfully indifferent to my presence:

failing ms.
"You refuse to inform me' as to the
truth of this affair?" I faltered at last,
as he lifted his burden on one ane.

eyes, as he rapped abarply with his
heel on -the door.
"I hardly think that would be advis-

outside is armed, and in the excite -
went might hurt you"
There was a click of the lock, and
the heavy door swung open. I stood
motionless, tempted to spring, yet not
daring the venture. Peter backed
majestically out, and I: caught a
glimpse: of the, .graybeard, and the
black• outlinea pistol. Then the

little scrap of candle left sputtered
feebly, and, after walking across ..the
floor a half-dozen times, striving to I

was nothing I could do, but wait for
morning; - not a sound reached me
from without, and, before I rerrttzed
the possibility, I 'was fast aslee P' 1
I must have' slept long and soundly,
For when I finally awoke a gleam of
sun lay the full length of the room,
and food was upon the table. Some
one -Peter, no doubt -had entered
and departed without arousing me.

gave him a grotesque appearance, re-
straining me from violence. I could
as easily have warred with a baby.
"I trust, sir, you Wept well," he said
soothingly, "and that the service is
eatiafactor�y,"
I choked back my indignation, the
quiet deference of his manner causing
me to feel like a brute.
"Nothing could be added to my hap-
piness," I answered, "unless it might
be a little information which you seem
disinclined to furnish.`
Ile waved one hand, as - though
brushing calmly aside some imagined
insect..
+Disinclined?' Oh, no, sir; there is
nothing to conceal, sir, I assure you."
"Then, for God's sake, let it out of
your system, man.!" -
I burst forth im-
patiently. "Whom am I a prisoner to?
What am I held for? : What sort of
treatment is this I am receiving?
Peter bowed, without the tremor of
an eyelash. •
"Do not mention it,, sir," he mur-
mured smoothly; "we are only too
proud to have you as our guest at
Elmhurst. It has been very quiet, here
now for some weeks, sir, and your
coming was welcome to us all."
I could only stare at the fellow with
bpen mouth, so' dumbfounded as. to .be
speechless. Of all the idiots, I had
ever met he was the worst; orelse
his acting was magnificent. To save
me I was not, certain: which might be
the correct guess. He` continued in

toppedtable occupied the center of
the apartment, a massive affair, flanked
by aleather upholstered reading chair,
!while before the front windows were
cushioned ledges. My rapid glimpse
about ended in Peter atanding in dig-
nified silence barely within the door,
his hand upon the knob.

lpreseively, gazing directly across my
Ihoulder, not a. feature expressing
emotion, "to permit you to remain

"All right, my 'tan, 1'11 wait Isere,"'
I sank back into > the upholstered
chair, and for a,noment. alter' lie had
closed the doer I did not move. Then,
scarcely knowing whether to laugh or
swear over the situation, I crossed the
room, and gazed out through the win-
dow. 'Far down the winding driveway,
half concealed behind the trees, a
body. of British troops Wan' tramping
toward the house,

A' New Combination.'
My first thought was that this must
prove a trap, and I drew hastily back
behind` the curtain, believing- myself
justified in an eiiort,at escape. Surely,
under such conditions, my word of
parole to Peter had no binding force.
,Yet I waited long enough• to glance
'forth again, The advancingg body eves
less than a hundred strong, Queen's
Rangers and Ilessians, from .their uni-
forms, straggling along on foot, limp-
ing, dusty and without arms. These
must be the' remnant of Delavan's
command, released by their guard of:
partisans, and. 'mow wearily seeking
refuge. But why were they coming
here?
Surely this was not the Phila-
delphia road?
They turned in upon the open lawn
in front of the door, and I -could plain-
ly distinguish the faces. There could
no longer be any doubt but, what these
were the men we had fought and de-
feated the evening before, Grant, with
the two Hessian officers, was in ad-
vance, and the former strode directly
toward the house, while the majority
of his following' flung thetuselves at,
full length on the ground, as though
utterly exhausted. Some strange las-
-cination held me motionless, •watching
theman climb the front steps. The
iron_knocker rang.loudly twice before
there calve any response from with-
in. Then I could hear voices, but the
words reaching me were detached, and,
without definite meaning. Finally the
door closed, and the „two men passed
along the hall, beyond
the room in
which I waited. Then Peter's voice
said solemnly, as if announcing a dis-
tinguished guesE:
is-tingu•ishedguest:
"Captain Alfred Grant!"
There was an exclamation oR sur-
prise,' a "quick exchange of 'sentences
indistinguishable, although I'was sure
of .Grant's -peculiar accent, and the
other voice was that of the young
light Dragoon lieutenant. Uncertain,
What best to• do I stole toward the
door and gripged the knob. This was
the only known way out; for I •dare
not venture to use the window which
was in plain view' of those soldiers
resting on the lawn. Whether Peter
had retired' or not, I possessedno
means of knowing, yet I opened the
door silently inch to make sure. a bare

I3e backed cut, casting a quick
glance of caution in my direction, and
disappeared down the hall, rubbing hit;
bald head industriously. I opened the
door' wider, wondering if I dare ven-
ture upon slipping' by unobservit1.
Then Grant spoke, his voice loud
enough to' be easily heard:
"Howv did-� e .come here. Why,
Where else ltoted we go? The :damned
rebels stripped us clean; we had to
have • food, This was the nearest
place where we were aertainnf getting
any. Of course I didn't know our
foragers had left, Elmhurst alone, and.
that—for some cause which mystifies
Clinton -these Jersey 'outlaws have
been equally considerate. There was
plenty to be had here, and I meant to
have it in spite of the servants."
"You must have marched straight

past Your own p ce, boyish voice
interrupted.
"Well, what if we did. There was
nothing there, as you know. The
house has been stripped to a' mere
shell. Not a nigger left, nor a horse.
I'd dike to know what influence keeps
this property pntouched!"
"That's easily answered. You forget
we are a divided family, with fighting
men on either side." '
"'Little these outlaws care for that."
"At least they appear to, as we re.
main unmolested. There has not been
a raiding party halted here since the
war began." .
"Weil, if you hadn't been at home,
there would have been one along
now," burst forth .Grant rather rough-
ly. "Those fellows out there, are des-
perate enough to sack the house if
that was their only method of getting
food. And I promised they should have
the chance."
"Oh, you did, indeed! That would'
have proven a friendly act."
"Necessity -does not take much ac
count of friendship. I was responsible
for a hundred starving men. Under
3uoh conditions force would be testi-
fled. I doubt 1t I could control the fel-
lows now. if provisions should be re-
'fused," •
"There is no necessity for indulging
in threats, Captain Grant," 'said the
boy's voice coldly. ".Elmhurst has
never yet :turned a soldier 'away in

three of the disciples were privileged to
see a foreshadowing of the kiugdom on
the mount. "At the foot of the mount

these ambitious men who carried their,

The second incident of our lesson
has a different setting. This also is
found In Matt. xix, 13-15; Luke xvlil,
15-17. Placing the three accounts to-
gether we read that little children
were brought to Him that He might
touch them, put His hands on :them
and pray. It is just possible that Ills

"Your little ones which had no knowl-
edge betweengoodand evil, they shall
go in." "Out of the mouths of babes
and sucklings hast Thou ordained
strength," "The streets of the city
shall be full of boys and girls."
The disciples rebuked those who
brought the children, but Jesus re-
butted the disciples and uttered those
memorable words of our Golden Test,
"Suffer the little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for of
auetl is the kingdom of God." Then he
took them up- in His arms, put His
hands upon them and blessed them,
andif yoe cannot
see Him spilling
upon them as lie did so you must be
. as much out 0f sympathy with Him as
were these disciples. •
The incident which follows in each
of these gospels of the rich young
ruler who event away sorrowful be-
cause his possessions were more to
him than life eternal, sets forth the
teaching concerning the little children.
They were empty, dependent, bumble,
teachable, but the disciples were self
sufficient, ambitious, inclined to strife,
and the rich ruler Was full of his
earthly goods and nnccnaeiously break-
ing the first commandment.

Good Manners at Telephone.
Among both women and men tele-
phone manners are had. We make -
little effort, in Pact, to be courteous:,,
over the telephone.
"Hello -who is this?" is the insistent
call that comes over our wire day after -
day. The courteous thing to say, or
course, 'i5- this: "Hello -is• this tine
Alain?" and if an affirmative answer
is given: "This is Mrs. Blank. Is Mrs --
Brown at home?"
The method of most women -of call-
ing

phone and then rudely demanding, Site>•

boy's statement that AIr. X. was en-
gaged. The caller waited five minutes
and then, seeing no chance of gaining-
an interview in the near future, went ..
lo'the .switchboard, connected himself'
with the office of the man he wetted
