Then a deep silence fell upon the camp, broken only by the rumble o f distant thunder In the moun tains and the feet of someone pacing up and down between his hut and the h.-uee of the general. He put on hla l.-ng coat and slippers and went out of doers. “ Who's there?" he demanded. “ Arnold." was the answer. "Taking a little walk before I turn In." There was a weary, pathetic note of trouble In that voice, long remembered by the young man, who Immediately returned to Ids bed. lie knew not that those restless feet of Arnold were walking In ihe flames o f hell. Had some premonition of whnt had been going on down the river come up to him? Could he bear the feet of that horse, now- galloping northward through the valleys and over the hills toward him with evil tidings? No more for this man was the comfort of restful sleep or the Joys of home and friendship and affection. Now the touch of hts wife's hand, ilie sympa thetic look lu her eyes nml all her babble about the coming marriage were torture to hltn. He could not endure It. Worst of all. he was lr a way where there Is no turning. He must go on. He had begun to know that he was suspected. The conduct of the scout, Solomon Blnkua, had suggested that he knew what was passing. Arnold had seen the nldes of Washington ns they came In. The chief could not be far behind them. He dreaded to stand before lilm. Com pared to the torture now beginning for this man, the fate o f %!ill Scott on Rock creek In the wilderness, had been a mercy. Soon after sunrise came n solitary horseman, wearied by long travel, with a message from Colonel Jameson to "I «wear It." A man hn.l been captured "Then I «hall enlist with you Arnold. ngntnst the tyrant. He has never been near Tarrytown with Important docu ments on hi« person. He had con- my king."

Now Henson! disgrace! the gibbet! the latter. Arnold was silting nt breakfast. He "And much goe* with It," said the young man na he ki*«ed her. and then arose, put the message In his pocket he embraced the mother of hla sweet and went out of the room. The Vul ture lay down the river awaiting or heart and added: The traitor wnlked hurriedly "1 hope that you are aleo to enlist der«. to the boat landing. Solomon was with un." "N o, I am to leave my little rebel there. It had been hie custom when In camp to go down to the landing with you and return to New York." every morning with his spy glass and "W ill you give me a ride?" Murgu survey the river. Only one boutuian was at the dock. "Colonel Blnkua. will you help this man to take me down to the British «hip?" Arnold asked. "1 have an en gagement with Its commander and urn half an hour late." Solomon had had much curiosity about that ship. He wished to see the man who had gone Into the bush and then to Smith's with Arnold. "Sart'n," Solomon answered. They got Into a small barge with the general In the cushioned rear «eat. his flag In hand. They came up to the Vulrare and made fast at Its landing stage where an officer waited to receive the gen eral. The latter ascended to the deck. In n moment a voice called from above: "General Arnold's boatmen may come aboard." A British warship was a thing of great Interest to Solomon. Otlce aboard he began to look about blm at tbe shining guns and their gear and toe tackle and the men. He looked for Arnold, hut he was not In sight. Among the crew, then hnay on the deck, Solomon aaw the Tory desper ado "Slop«," one time o f the Ohio riv er country, with bis black pipe In hi. mouth. Slops paused In his haul ing and reeving to shake a fist at Solomon. They were heaving the an chor. The sails were running up. The ship bad begun to move. What wss the meaning of this? Solomon stepped to the sliip’s side. The stair had been hove up and made fast. Tbe barge waa not to be seen. "They will put you all ashore be low," an officer «aid to him. Solomon knew too much about Ar nold to like the look of this. The officer went forward. Solomon stepped to the opening In the deck rail, not yet closed, through which he had come aboard. While he was looking down at the water, some ten feet below, a group of sailors came to fill In. Hla arm was roughly seized. Solomon stepped back. Before him stood the man Slops. An Insulting word from the latter, a quick blow from Solomon, and Slops went through the gate out Into the air and downward. Tbe scout knew It was no time to tarry. "A night hawk couldn't dive no quicker tier what I done,” were his words to the men who picked him up. He was speaking o f that half second o f the twenty-fourth o f September, 178U. His brief account of It was care fully put down by an officer: " I struck not twenty feet from Slops, which I seen him Jes' cornin' up when I took water. This 'ere o!' sloop that had overhauled us goin’ down were nigh. Hadn’t no more'n come up than I felt Slop's knife rip Into my leg. I never had no practice in that 'ere knife work. T a ln 't fer decent folks, but my oP Dan Skinner is alius on my belt. He'd chose the weapons an' so I fetched 'er out. Had to er die. We lit a mlnnlt thar In the water. All the while he had tliat d— n block pipe In his mouth. I were hacked up a leetle, but be gut a big leak In him an’ all o f a sudden be wasn't thar. He'd gone. I struck out with ol' Dan Skinner 'twlxt my teeth. Then 1 see your Hue and grabbed It. Whar's the British ship now ?” “ 'Way below Stony P'lnt an' a fair wind In her sails,' the skipper an swered. “ Bound fer New York.” said Solo mon sorrowfully. “They’d 'a' took me with 'em If I hadn't 'a' Jumped. Put me over to Jasper's dock. I got to see Washington quick." “ Washington has gone up the river." “Then take me to quarters soon as ye kin. I'll give ye ten pounds, good English gold. My God, boys I My ol’ hide Is leakin' bad." lie turned to the man who had been washing and binding bis wounds. "Sod.ler me up best ye kin. I got to last till l see the Father." Solomon and other men In the old army had often used the word "F a ther” In speaking o f the commander in chief. It served as no other could, to express their affection for hltn. The wind was unfavorable and (he sloop found It difficult to reach iho landing near headquarters. After some delay Solomon Jumped over board and swam Hshore. What follows he could not have told. Washington w h s standing with his o r derly In the little doorynrd at head quarters as Solomon came staggering up the slope at a run and threw hla lrndy. bleeding from a dozen wounds, at the feet of his beloved rblef.
