"Thankful Blossom,” she responded.
The sentry brought his musket to a
“present.” “Pass, Thankful Blossom,
anti God send it soon and the spring with
it, and good night,” he said, with astrong
Milesian accent. And before the still
amazed girl could comprehend the mean—
ing of his abrupt challenge, or his equally
abrupt departure, he had resumed his
monotonous pace in the moonlight. Iii-
deed, as she stood looking after him, the
whole episode, the odd unreality of the
moonlit landscape, the novelty of her
position, the morbid play of her thoughts.
seemed to make it part of a. dream which
the morning light might dissipate, but
could never fully explain.
\Vith something of this feeling still
upon her, she kept her way to the river.
Its banks were still fringed with ice,
through which its dark current flowed
uoiselessly. She knew it flowed through
the. camp where lay her faitliless lover,
and for an instant indulged the thought
of following it, and facing him with the
proof of his guilt; but evenat the thought
she recoiled with a new and sudden doubt
in herself, and stood dreamily watching
the shimmer of the moon on the icy banks,
until another, and, it seemed to her,
equally unreal vision suddenly stayed her
feet, and drove the blood frbm her feverish
checks.
A figure was slowly approaching from
the direction of the sleeping encampment.
Tall, erect and habited in a gray surtout,
with a hood partially concealing its face,
it was the counterfeit presentment of the
ghostly visitant she had heard described.
Thankful scarcely breathed. The brave
little heart that had, not quailed be-
fore the sentry’s leveled musket a. mo-
ment before now faltered and stood
still, as the phantom with a slow
and majestic tread moved toward her.
She had only time to gain the shelter of a
tree before the figure, majestically uncon-
scious of her presence, passed slowly by.
Through all her terror Thankful was still
true to a certain rustic habit of practical
perception to observe that the trend of the
phantom was quite audible over the crust
of snow, and was visible and palpable as
the imprint of 0. military boot.
The blood came back to Thunkful’s
cheek and with it her old audacity. In
another instant she was out from the
tree and tracking with alight feline tread
the apparition that now loomed 'up the
hill before her. Slipping“. from tree to
tree, she followed it until it passed before
the door of a low but or farm shed that
stood midway up the hill. Here it en-
tered and the door closed behind it. With
every sense feverishly alert, Thankful,
from the secure advantage of a large ma-
ple, watched the door of the hut. In a.
few moments it reopened to the scrub fig-
ure free of its gray enwmppings. For-
getful of'cverytliing now. but detecting
the face of the impostbr, the fearless girl
left the tree and placed herself directly in
the path of the figure. At - the same mo-
ment it turned toward her inquiringly,
and the moonlight fell upon the calm,
composed features of Gen. Washington.
In her consternation Thankful could
only drop an embarrassed courtesy and
hang out two lovely signals of distress in
her checks. The face of the pseudo ghost
alone remained unmoved.
“You are wandering . late, Mistress
Thankful,” he said at last, with a pater-
uni gravity; “and I fear that the formal
restraint of a military household , has
already given you some embarrassment.
Yonder sentry, for instance, might have
stopped you.”
“Oh, he did!” said Thankful quickly;
“but it’s all right. please your excellenoy.
He asked me ‘Ih'ho went there,’ and I
told him; and he was vastly polite, I as-
sure you.”
The grave features of the commander-
in-chief relaxcdin a smile. “You are
more happy than most of your sex in
turning a verbal compliment to practical
account. For know, then, dear young
lady, that in honor of your visit to the
headquarters the password to-night
through this encampment was none other
than your own pretty patronymic—
‘Thankful Blossom.’ ”
The tears glittered in the girl’s eyes
and her lip trembled; but, with all her
readiness of speech, she could only say,
“Oh, your cxcellency!”
“Then you did pass the sentry?" con-
tinued Washington, looking at her intently
with a. certain grave watchfulness in his
gray eyes. “And doubtless you wondered
at the river bank. Although I myself,
tempted by the night, sometimes extend
my walk as fares yonder shed, it were a
hazardous act for a young lady to pass be-
yond the protection of the line.”
“011! I met no one, your excellency,"
said the usually truthful Thankful hastily,
rushing to her first lie with grateful im-‘
petuosity.
“And saw no one?” asked Washington
quietly.
“No one,” said Thankful, raising her
brown eyes to the General’s.
They. both looked at each other—the
naturally most voracious young womanin
the colonies, and the subsequent allegori~
cal impersonation of truth in America—
and knew each other lied, and, I imagine,
respected each other for it.
“I am glad to hear you say so, Mistress
Thankful,” said VVnshington quietly, “for
’twould have been natural for you to have
sought an interview with your recreant
' lover in yonder camp, though the attempt
would have been unwise and impossible.”
“I had no such thought, your excel-
lcncy,” said Thankful, who had really
quite forgotten her late intention; “yet,
if with your permission I could hold a few
inmiients‘ converse with Car-t. Brewster,
it would greatly case my L‘Iihil “
f‘ ’Twould not be well for the present,”
said \Vushingtonthoughtfully. “But in
a day or two Capt. Brewster will be tried
by courtmnrt-ial at Morristown. It shall
be so ordered that when he is conveyed
thither his guard shall halt at the Blos-
som Farm. I will see that the officer in
command gives you an opportunity to see
him. And I think I can promise also,
Mistress Thankful, that your father shall
be also present. under his own roof, or free
man.” '
They had reached the entrance to the
mansion, and entered the hall. Thankful
turned impulsively, and kissed the ex-
tended hand of the commander. “You
are so good! I have been so foolish—so
very, very' wrong," she said, with a slight
trembling of her lip. “And your excel-
leucy believes my story; and those gentle-
men were not spies, but even as they gave
themselves to be.”
“I said not that much,” replied Wash-
ington with ii. kindly smile, “but no mat-
ter. Tell me rather, Mistress Thankful,
how for your acquaintance with these
gentlemen has gone; or'did it end with
the box on the ear that you gave the
boron?”
“He had asked me to ride with him to
the Baskingridge, and I—had said—yes,"
faltered Mistress Thankful.
“Unless I misjudge you, Mistress
Thankful, you can without great sacrifice
promise me that you will not see him until
I give you my permission,” said Wash-
ington, with grave playfulness.
The swinging light shone full in Thank-
ful’s truthful eyes as she lifted them to
his.
“I do,” she said quietly. .
“Good night," said the commander,
with a formal bow.
“Good night, your excellency.”
CHAPTER IV.
The sun was high over the Short Hills
when Mistress Thankful, the next day,
drew up her sweating mare beside the
Blossom Farm gate. ,She had never
looked prettier, she had never felt more
embarrassed, as she entered her own
house. During her rapid ride she had ul-
rendy framed a speech of apology to Maj.
Van Zandt, which, however, utterly fled
from her lips as that officer showed him-
self respectfully on the threshold. Yet
site permitted-him to usurp the functions
of the grinning Glaser, and help her from
her horse; albeit she was conscious of ex-
hibiting the awkward timidity of a bash-
ful rustic, until at last, with a stammer-
ing “Thank ye," she actually ran up
stairs to hide her glowing face and far too
conscious eyelids.
During the rest of that day ‘Mcj. Van
Zandt quietly kept out of her way, with-
out obtrusively seeming to avoid her. Yet,
when they met casually in the perform-
ance of her household duties, the innocent
Mistress Thankful» noticed, under her
downcust penitential eyelids, that the eyes
of the officer followed her intently. And
thereat she fellnunconsciously to imitating
him; and so they eyed each other furtivcly
like cats, and rubbed themselves along the
walls of rooms and passages when they
met, lest they should scent designedly to
come near each other, and enacted the
gravest and most formal of genuflections,
courtesies and bows when they accident-
ally did meet. And just at the close of
the second day, as the elegant Maj. Van
Znndt was feeling himself fast becoming
a driveling idiot and an awkward country
booby, the arrival of a courier from head-
quarters saved thut gentleman his self
respect forever. '
Mistress Thankful was in her sitting
room when he knocked at the door. She
opened it in sudden, conscious trepidation.
“I ask pardon for. intruding, Mistress
Thankful Blossom," he said gravely; “but
Iliave here"—lie held out a pretentious
document—“n letter for you from head-
quarters. May I hope that it contains
good news—the release of your father—
and that it relieves you from my presence,
and an espionage which I tissurc you can-
not bc more unpleasant to you than it has
been toanyself."
Ashe entered the room. Thankful had
risen to her feet with the full intention of
delivering to him her little set apology;
but, as he ended his speech, she looked at
him blunkly, and burst out crying.
Of course be was in an instant at her
side. and holding her cold little hand.
Then she managed to say, between her
tears, that she had been wanting to make
an apology to him; that she had wanted
to say ever since she arrived that she had
been rude, very rude, and that she knew
he never could forgive her; that she had
been trying to say that she never could
forget his gentle forbearance; “only," she
added, suddenly raising her tear fringed
brown lids to the astonished man, “you
wouldn’t ever let me!"
“Dear Mistress Thankful,” said the
major, in conscience stricken horror, “if I
have made myself distant to you, believe
me it was only becauseIfenred to iii-
trudc upon your sorrow. Ireally—dear
Mistress Thankful—I”—
“VVhen you took all the pains to go
round the hall instead of through the
dining room, lest I should ask you to for-
give me,” sobbed Mistress Thankful, “I
thought—you—must—hate me, and pre-
ferred to”-——
“Perhaps this letter may mitigate your
sorrow, Mistress Thankful," said the
officer, pointing to the letter she still held
unconsciously in her hand.
lVith a blush at her preoccupation,
Thankful opened the letter. It was a
half official document and ran as follows:
The commander-in-chief isglud to inform Mis-
tras Thankful Blossom that the charges pre-
ferred against her father have, upon fair exam-
ination, been found groundless and trivial. The
commander-in-chief further begs to inform
Mistress Blossom that the gentleman known to
her under the name of the “Baron Pomposo" was
his cxcellency Don Juan Morales, ambassador
and envoy extraordinary of the court of Spain,
and that the gentleman known to her as the
“Count Ferdinand“ was Senor Godoy. secretary
to the. embassy. The commander-in-chief wishes
to add that Mistress Thankful Blossom is relieved
of any further obligation of hospitality toward
these honorable gentlemen, as the commander-
in-chicf regrets to record the sudden and deeply
to be deplored death of his excellency this morn-
ing by typhoid fever and the possible speedy re
turn of the embassy. .
In conclusion the commundcr-inkhief wislns to
bear testimony to the truthfulness. intuition and
discretion of Mistress Thankful Blossom.
By order of his excellency,
GEN. Gsonon WAsumcroN.
Atnx. HAMILTON. Secretary.
To Mistress Thankful Blossom, of Blossom Farm.
Thankful Blossom was silent for a few
.moments, and then raised her nbashed
eyes to Maj. Van Zandt. A single glance
satisfied her that he know nothing of the
lmposturo that had been practiced upon
her—knew nothing of the trap into which
her vanity and self will had led her.
“Dear Mistress Thankful,” said the
major, seeing the distress in her face, “I
trust the news is not ill. Surely I gath-
ered from the sergeant that”—
“What?” suid Thankful, looking at him
innocently.
“Thatin twenty-four hours at furthest
your father would be free, and that I
. should be relieved”—
“I know that you are a-weary of your
task, major," said Thankful, bitterly; "re-
joice, then, to know your information is
correct, and that my father is cxhoner-
uted—unless—unless this is a forgery,
and Gen. Washington should turn out to
be somebody else, and you should turn,
out to be somebody else”——— And she
stopped short and hid her wet eyes in the
window curtains.
"Poor girl!” said Maj. Van Zandt to
himself. “This trouble has undoubtedly
frenzied her. Fool that I was to lay up
the insult of one that sorrow and excite-'
ment had bereft of reason and responsi-
bility! ’Twere better I should retire at
once and leave her to herself,” and the
young man slowlyretreated toward the
door.
But at this moment there were alarm-
ing symptoms of distress in the window
curtain, and the major paused as a voice
from its dimity depths said plaintively,
“And you are, going without forgiving
mei
“Forgive you, Mistress Thankful,” said
the major, striding to the curtain, and
seizing a little hand that was obtruded
from its folds—“forgive you? rather can
you forgive me for the folly—tho cruelty
of mistaking—of——of”--and here the ma-
jor, hitherto famous for facile compli-
ments, utterly broke down. But the
hand he held was no longer cold, but
warm and intelligent; and in default of
coherent speech he held fast by that as the
thread of his discourse, until Mistress
Thankful quietly withdrew it, thanked
him for his forgiveness and retired deeper
behind the curtain.
When he had gone, She threw herself in
a chair, and again gave way to a passion-
ate flood of tears. In the last twentnyour
hours her pride had been utterly humbled;
the independent spirit of this self-willed
little beauty had met for the first time
with defeat. When she had got over her
womanly shock at the news of the sham
baron's death, she had, I fear, only a. sel-
fish regret at his taking off, believing that
if living he would in- some way show the
world—which just then consisted of the
headquarters and Maj. Van Zandt—ttat
he had really made love to her, and possibly
did honorably love her still, and might yet
give her an opportuni yforeject him. And
now he was dead,-an she was held up to
the world as the conceited‘playthfug of a‘
fine gentleman’s masquerading sport.
That her father’s cupidity and ambition
made him sanction the imposture, in her
bitterness, she never doubted. Not Lover,
friend, father-40.11 had been false to her;
and the only kindness she had received was;
from the him she had 'wantonly insulted.
Poor little Blossom! indeed a most pre-i

were moist and dripping.
The red dawn at last struggled through
the vuporous veil that hid the landscape.
Then occurred one of flose magical changes
peculiar to the‘climute, yet perhaps pro-eni-
inontly notable during that historic winter
and spring. By ten o’clock on thutlld
of May, 1780, a fervent June-like sun
had rent that vaporous veil, and poured
its direct rays upon the gaunt and hug—
gard profile of the Jersey hills. The
chilled soil responded but feebly to that
kiss; perhaps 0. few of the willows that
yellowed the river banks took on a deeper
color. But the country folk were certain
that spring had come at last; and even the
correct and self-sustained Maj. Vuii
Zandt‘came running into announce to
Mistress Thankful that one of his men
had seen a violet in the meadow. In an-
other moment Mistress Thankful had
donned her cloak and pattens to view this
firsthng of the laggard summer. It was
quite natural that Maj. Van Zundt
should accompany her as she tripped on;
and so, without a thought of their past
differences, they ran like very children
down the moist and rocky slope that led
to tho quoggy meadow. Such was the in-
fluence of the vernal season.
But the violets were hidden. Mistress
Thankful, regardless of the wet leaves
and her new gown, groped with her an.
gers among the 'withered grasses. Maj.
Van Zandt leaned against a bowlder and
watched her with admiring eyes.
“You‘ll never find flowers that way,"
she said at last, looking'up to him impa-
tiently._ “Go down on your knees like an
honest man. There are some things in
this world worth stoopiug for." ;.
The major instantly dropped on his
knees beside her. But .atgthat moment
Mistress Thankful found her posies, and
rose to her feet. “Stay where you are,"
c said mischievousiy, as she stooped
own and placed 0. flower in the lapel of
his coat. “That is to make amends for
my rudeness. Now getup.” . '
But the major did not rise. He caught
the two little hands that had seemed to
flutter like birds against his breast, and,
looking up .into the laughing face above
him, said: “Dear Mistress Thankful, dare
I remind you of your own words, that:
‘therc be some things worth sfooping fori' .
Think of my love, Mistress Thankful, as
0. flower—mayhup not as graciousto you
as our violets, but as honest and—and—
an —-as"--— .
“Ready to spring up in a single night,"
laughed Thankful. “But no; get up,
major! What wOuld the flue ladies of
Morristown say of your kneeling at tho‘
feet of a country girl—the play and sport
of every line gentleman? What if Mistress
Bolton should see her own cavalier, the
modish Maj. Van Znndt, proflering his
affections to the disgraced sweetheat of a
perjured traitor? Leave , go my hand, I
pray you major, if you respec "——
Sho was free, yet she faltercd a moment
beside him, with tears quivei’ng on her-
long brown lashes. Theushe said tremu-
lously, “Rise up, major. Let us think no
more of this. I pray you forgive me, if I
have again been rude".
The major struggled to rise to his fett,
at he could not. And then I regret to
have to record that the fact became obvi-
ous that one of his shapeiy‘ legs was in a
bog 'hole, and that lie was perceptibly
sinking out of sight.
Thankful trilled out u three syllabled
laugh, looked demure and painfully con-
cerned at his condition and then laughed
again. The major joined in ' her mirth,
albeit his face was crimson. And then,
with a little cry of alarm she flew to his
side and put her arms around him.
“Keep away, keep away, for Heaven’s
sake, Mistress Blossom," he said quickly,
“or I shall plunge you into my mishap,
and make you as ridiculous as myself.”
But the quick witted girl had already
leaped to an adjacent bowlder. “Take off
your sash," she said quickly; “fasten it
to your belt and throw it to me.” He did
so. She straightened. herself back on the
rock. “N ow, all together,” sho cried.
with a preliminary strain on the sash; and
then the cords'of her» well trained muscles
stood out on her. rounded arms, and, with
along pull and a strong pull and a pull
all together, she landed the major upon
the rock. And then she laughed; and than.
inconsistent as it may appear, she became
grave, and at once proceeded to scrape
him off, and rub him down with dried
leaves, wivh fern twigs, with her hand-
kerchief, with the border of her mantle,
us if he were a child, until he blushed
gith alternate shame and secret satisfac-
on.
They spoke but little on theirreturn to
the farm house, for Mistress Thankful
had again become grave. And yet'the
sun shone cheerily above them; the land-
scape wasflllcd with the. joy of rcsurrecé
tion and new and awakened life; the breeze
whispered'gentle promises of hope and-
the fruition of their hopes-in the summer
to come. And these. two v fared on until
they reached the porch, with a half
pleased, half frightened consciousness
that they were not the flame beings who
had left it a half hour béfofe.‘ '
Nevertheless at. the porch Mistress
Thankful regained something of her ‘old
audacity. , As they stood‘together‘ in ‘the
hall, she handed him back .thezsash she"
had kept with her. _
could not help saying: “There are some
things worth steeping for, Maj. Van,
Zandt.” . i '
But she had not calculated upon the
audacity of the man; undue she turned to
fly she was caught by his strong arm, arid?
pinioned to his side. She struggled, hon-
estlyI think, and perhaps more fright-
ened at her own fetaliugsgtban at. :his
strength; but it isto'be'recorded that he
kissed herin ambment' of comparative
yielding, and then" frightened him'sélf, re-
leased her quickly,:.whereat shefledto‘her
room, and threw * herself panting and
troubled upon. her bed, For an hour or
two she lay there, with flushed cheeks and
conflicting thoughts. “He must never
kiss me again,” she said softly to herself.
“unless”—but the interrupting thought:
' said, “I shall die If he kiss me not again;
and I never can kiss another.” And then
she was roused-by a footstep upon the
stair, which in thet'brief time she had
learned to know and-look for, and aknock
at the door. She opened it to Maj. Van
'Zaridt, white and so colorless as to. bring .
out once more the. faint red line made“ :by '
her riding whip two days before, as '11- it
had risen again in accusation. » The blood
dropped out of her checks as she glued at
him in silence. -
“An escort of dragoons,” said Maj
-Vnn Zandt, slowly, and with military.
precision, “has just arrived, bringing
with them one Capt. Allan Bmmtbr,‘of
the Connecticut contingent, on his 'wayto
Morristown to be tried'for mutiny. and
treason. A private note from Col: nam-
ilton instructs me to allow him'to'hav'e a
private audience with you- 'if- you so wish
it. ’ ‘ '
With a Women’s ms, and ...too often

may that she had drifted out from tho safe

still less mind to be followed into by her
comrade.
But it was too late. Beforo she could open
her lips ho had plunged in: “May I tell you
what his answer would be! He would tell her
that life was a question not of browsing, but
of plowing, and that in spite of tho fretting
of the yoke, the oxen‘. could do better work
together than alone; that he would be ac-
commodating enough to browse in her corner
in off hours; that she was his ideal if he'was
not hers, and that perhaps (pardon the aver-

drawn from poetry, fiction and transcendental
philosophy rather than from real life, and

WONDERS OF SACCHARINE.

showed about ambit-spoonful of cream col<
bred powder. “it is the latest thing in the
way of coal tar products, and it is just about
2,500 times sweeter than cane sugar. That
little bottle came from Merck, of Durinstudt,
sud-costs 83. It is the new cure for diabetes
mellitus."
“New cure nothing," said a portly gentle-
man representing the grape sugar works. “It
was discovered in 1379 by accident, and it’s
goliig'to do more business than curing dia-
betes. Our house has imported 100 pounds of
it at a cost of something over $1,000, and
we're going to see what it will do in the way
of making glucose an exact substitute for
cane sugar. The estimate of the sweetening
power of saccharine is that one purl: added to
2,800 parts of glucose will bring the latter up
to thacano sugar or sucrose standard, and if
only some smart fellow could succeed in crys-
talliuliig the compound he could become as
rich as Vanderbilt. But we can‘t gi-anuluto
it as yet. and thus we must be content to use
the new product for substitution purposes.”
“What is saccharine!" asked the investi-
gator, and in reply he was informed that it-
is a product of the surprising new line of
chemicals obtained from the residuum of pe~
troleum distillation. In searching for a syn-
thetical substitute for quinine a German
' chemist discovered a sweet instead of an ex-
pected bitter principle, and it is now thought
that it caube produced in sufficiently large
quantities to become of commercial import-
ance. .
The chemist said: “There is no more limit
to the possibilities of discoveries from pc-
troleum than there is of the coining powers
of electricity. We are only beginning to get
acquainted with the outside edge of electricity,
and I'm willing to bet you $10 that before
you’reoton years older you'll see folks go to
the corner grocery and buy a quart of elec-
k'lcity in a Faure cell to cook dinner with,
just as they go now to buy kindling wood.
Now, this petroleum in a distillation, as far as
I can make out, of substances in the
heart of the earth. It is believed by some
relentlsts that in the stinking stuff which we
call crudepetroleum‘ we have the essence of
the flowers, the herbs, the plants and the
whole flora of millions of years ago, and that
the colors, such as we get in aniline tints of
magenta, solferino and the rest, and the series
of coal tar perfumes, are nothing more nor
[em than the colors and odors of the flowers
ofmiilions of years ago, before the ancient
oaks were carbonized into coal strata, and
when chorus girls were young and charming.
This stuff has been slewing up for ages, and
justaswa get aflne cure for heart disease
"riii't'c'f’the‘lily of the valley (convallsria ma-
)alls), so are we getting fine medicines like
‘autifebrin' and saccharine from honey bear-

bloomed when the megatberium was com-
mouer than Bat-numb cispbante.”—Buflalo

TALES‘ OF‘ GEN. FORREST.
'l'lie ,Bougll and Tumble planners of the
g Confederate cavalry Leader.
' The following interesting incidents in the
army liferof Gen. Bedford Forrest were wit-
nessed by an eye witness, and now for the
flint time published:
In December, 1302, Gen. N. B. Forrest
crossed the Tennessee river and made a raid
through west Tennessee, which portion of the
state was fortified in many places, all of
. which were strongly garrisoned. While
, making a faint against Jackson (to enable
Attic larger part of his brigade to uninter-
ruptedly capture the small stockades on the
railroad) a stilt! ofllcer galloped up to the
‘ ‘iéhbral-andexeiaimed, excitedly:
“General, general. the Yankees are coming
up in your rear!”
. . Without a; moment's hesitation, in the
most indifleront manner imaginable, Forrest
replied: .
“I don'tikere 'u———. I’ll about face
--uu' I’ll be in thar rar."
While crossing the Tennessee river (return-
ing from this same raid) his rear was strongly
pressed by tho Federals. The ferryboats bad
to'be pulled back aud'forth by hand. The
weather was terribly cold and as the men
'l'iu‘ul‘od upon the wet ropes their hands would
- literally freeze to them. Forrest thought
those on the east side were working too
slowly and crossing over he immediately put
every one to’wcrk-omoers as wellas privates.
The colonel who had been left in command
on the ,westvsido sent his sergeant major
acres the river with an impouant message
toForre's'b The sergeant found the general
hauling on a rope, aifeniatel'y’encouroging
and damning every one near him." He ran
up to Forrest, and began: ‘ ‘ ' ' '
“General, Col. Woo"— ' .
“D-—-m colonel whoeverheis; ' Ketch hold
of this rope and help pull the boat in!” '
'“But, general,,col0iiel”-'— ' - ‘ '
“Don't talk to me. Help pull this boat in,
or I‘ll throw you in the river,” shouted For-
rest. ' ,
“But. general, I'm some," began the ser-
. geunt, when Forrert seized him, and with one
Etwistof bis muscular arm lifted the meson-
ger clear ofl‘bis feet, and stood him up in the
water waist deep. The sergeant, to save
biuuelf us he went over, seized hold of For-
rest’s contend. pulled the general in with
him.’ "'For‘rest'retuined his held of; the ser-
geant, aild'xe‘xciaiming, “Spunky dog, eh!"
