principles 1 was released, lint
n.y pride had got a setback, and I
Astened with patience to my mother's
prayers that I would not join the
king's men. With the anger of a
youth. I now blamed his majesty for
the acts of Sir John Godric's enemies.
And though I was a good soldier of
the king at heart, I would not serve
him henceforth. We threshed matters
back and forth. and presently it was
thought I should sail to Virginia to
take aver my estate. My mother urged
it. too, for she believed if I were
weaned from my old comrades, mili-
tary fame would no longer charm. So
she urged me, and go I did, with a
commission from some merchants of
Glasgow, to give my visit to the col-
ony more weight.
"It was great pain to leave MY
mother, but she bore the parting
bravely, and away I set in 0 good
ship. Arrived in Virginia, I was
treated with great courtesy in Wil-
liamsburg, and the Governor gave
me welcome to his home for the sake
of his old friend; and yet a little for
my own, 1 think, for we were of one
temper, though he was old and I
young. We were both full of impulse
and proud and given to daring hard
things. and my military spit -it suited
him.
"In Virginia I spent a gay and busy
year, and came off very well with the
rough but gentlemanly cavaliers, who
rode through the wide, sandy streets
of the capital on excellent horses, or
in English coaches, with a rusty sort
of show and splendour, but always
with great gallantry. The freedom of
the life charmed me, and with rum-
ours of war with the French there
seemed enough to do, whether with
the sword or in the House of Burg-
esses, where Governor Dinwiddie said
his say with more force than complai-
sance. So taken with the life—my
first excursion into the wide work-
ing world that I delayed my go-
ing back to Glasgow, the more so
that some matters touching my Prop-
erty called for action by the House of
Burgesses, and 1 had to drive the af-
fair to the end. Sir John had done
better by me than he thought, and
thanked him over and over again for
bis good gifts.

Itt acquaintanees, and with my young
friend, Mr. Washington, laying the
foundation for a Virginian army, by
drill and yearly duty in camp, with
occasional excursions against the In-
dians. I 51110 very well what the end
of our troubles with the French
would be, and I waited for the time
when I should put to keen use the
sword Sir John Cedric had given me.
Life beat high then, for 1 was in the
Hush of manhood; and the spirit of a
rich new land was waking in 1111 all,
while in our vanity we held to and
cherished forms and customs that one
would have thought to see left behind
in London streets and drawing -rooms.
These thinga, these functions in a
small place, kept its a little vain and
proud. but, I also hope, it gave us
some sense of civic duty.
"And sow 1 come to that which will,
comrade of my heart, bring home to

Fort Necessity we surrendered, after
hard fighting, to a force three times
our number, I, with one Captain Van

his bond that ave should be delivered

gave up my sword to Charles Bedford,
my ;lieutenant with more regret than
1 can tell, for it was sheathed in mem-
ories, -charging 'him to keep it ,safe—
that the would use it worthily I know.
And so, sorrowfully ;bidding my
friends goodebye, away we went upon
the sorry trail of ica,ptivity, arriving in
due time at Font Do Quesne, at the
Junction of the (Ohio and the Mon-
ongahela, where 11 was icourteouslly
treated. There I bettered my French
