Count d'Estaing wus at first so sure
of bis ability to capture Savannah that
he undertook to convince the British
commander by argument (bvfore resort
ing to arms) thut resistance would be
worse than unavailing. Indeed the brave
and brilliant Frenchman seemed to feel
that the mere prestige of bis name and
the known valor of bis troops would be
sufficient to make the gates of the town
fly open to him. When he found that
the plucky garrison would certainly
fight hint to the last moment be made
ready to reduce the place by siege; but
soon enough he discovered thut the
works, although not formidable from an
engineering point of view, were suffi
ciently strong to render them vory hard
to reduce by the butteries at bis com
mand. At this point Gen. Lincoln
could not uid him much, having no ef
fective guns. Nothing was left but to
take the lines by storm, and this was
agreed upon between the French and
the American commanders.
The British were aware of what had
been determined on by the allied forces.
Maynard, now promoted to a captaincy,
bnd managed to ascertain through spies
that preparations for an assault all along
the line had been going on during the
night lie was in command of two
companies, stationed really outside the
works, but protected by the loop of
canebrake and wooded swamp through
which Grampus had led Rose. Little
did he dream that Miss Fenwicke was
so near him while be wus maturing his
pluns for distinguishing himself by tak
ing the enemy in the flunk whenever they
should attempt to chnrgo past tneBwiuiip
where he lay in ambush. Lie wus a
good soldier enough, and ho was cun
ning as well as daring. Two heavy
pistols hung at bis sido and his sword
was unusually long to suit bis stature
and great strength. He was ready when
at last, just at daybreak, the grand
charge took place, and right stubbornly
did be meet it
Prescott, now a bruve major, led the
storming column that was to attempt
the line in the rear of the swamp, und
so it happened thut the rivals met in the
full flood of the buttle. With such vigor
and swiftness did the little body of
Americans come down upon their an
tagonists that it wus scarcely a breath be
tween the start and the crash of their as
sault. Firing as they sped forward, so
accurate wls their aim that Maynard's
men were thrown into confusion and
broke badly. This apparent success was
bad for Prescott aud his command, for
deeming themselves victorious they
yelled vigorously and swept on beyond
the swamp, unaware of the battery plant
ed there with curtains of earthworks
flunking it und manned with a double
line of men.
A rour of urtillery and a close, deadly
volley of musketry did the work. It was
useless for Prescott to wave his m.'.ird
And rave at his flying men. They were
now as wildly scared and as thoroughly
beaten us a moment before they bad
been enthusiastically victorious. There
was nothing for him to do but to fly
with them and try to get them back to
their senses, but the farther thoy run the
more they scattered themselves und the
more unmuuageablo they became. Be
fore they hud retreated beyond tho
swamp they were badly cut up, and
every man wus seeking bis own safety in
bis own wuy. Indeed it was so all along
the line. The French fared even worse
than the Americans, Count d'Estaing
himself receiving a wound, which seems
to have made him in a great hurry to
raise the siege and re-embark. The
charge while it lasted, however, was one
of the most bold and even desperate that
as made during the Revolutionary
Struggle. Viewed through mere de
scriptions it loses most of its tragic pict
nrestmeness, because the whole affair
took place in. a flat and budlv drained
area, where the mere mutter of insecure
footing fur tho storming party hindered
more than the earthworks and guns of
the enemy.
At a certain point near the little loop
of swamp woods Prescott, us bo ran back
after vainly trying to rally his meu,
heard a cry that brought him to a short
halt as if a bullet bad struck him.

vjuickly turning to where the cry
seemed to rise, be saw Rose, struggling
in the arms of Maynurd. who had chanced
to find her and was trying to bear her
to a place cf safety.
The surprise of this discovery might
have been greater bad Prescott' mind
been less burdened with the terrible load
of personal responsibility for his little
command. It is doubtless true, bow
ever, that the stimulus of great excite
ment made his vision quicker and clearer.
By the broadening gray light of day and
by the lurid flashes of the gnus and of
the flaming mihsiles launched by both
armies he recognized Rose instantly.
his i word went up and he sprang toward
her.
"Unhand her and defend yourself I" he
cried, with that lofty show of chivalry
so much in vogue in those day.
Maynard wus not slow to respond.
Putting Rose behind him with bis left
hand he cried out:
"Come on. I am always ready!'
It was at this moment thut the men
recognized each other and, us if the
mutual impression hod some elTect of re
pulsion, they recoiled slightly ami stood
glaring llercely, gathering themselves
fur the utmost of deadly effort When
their swords crossed It was as if the
clash had been the signal for a doubling
and trebling of the din of battle. At the
farther part of the open field the French
were now storming np to tho very face
of the liritiiili works under a concen
trated fire delivcrod level along the
ground and absolutely unlienrable. With
a courage that was melodramatic In its
displuy the bruve fellows, led by Count
d'Estaing In person, forced on against
the tide of death, floundering through
the mire and scrambling over mucky
ditches, but all in vain. Back they were
hurled like dry leuves before a wind.
Prescott and Maynurd took no notice of
this brilliant but ill futed rush. They
thought of nothing, they dared think of
nothing but their own personal struggle.
They fought with fervid eagerness uud
with that concentrated force naturally
engendered by the situation. Their
swords leajied and flashed and clanged so
rapidly that one blow was scarcely sep
arated from another.
Rose stood rigid and brcathh-ss. white
as marble and cold as if dead, watching
the desperate engagement. Prescott
was not us strong us Maynurd, and suf
fered the added disadvantage of wield
ing a much shorter weapon; but his
great suppleness and agility did much
to set him on an equal footing with his
ponderous und resolutely culm antago
nui From the first Prescott was the
assailant, and so fiercely and nimbly did
be address himself to the desire of the
moment that the best strength and skill
of Maynard were called into most violent
and constant activity.
The Englishman, however, wus sure
to win unless some fortuitous circum
stunre should cast a deadly advantage
into Prescott's hand. Round and round
they fought. Maynard always keeping
Rose behind him and leering at bis op
ponent with an expression of malignant
hatred, heightened by the effect of the
still livid scar across his cheek made
long before iu a similar contest. Pres
cott was ever forcing the fight and in
creasing his intensity of effort with each
cnt or thrust. All around in the swamp,
and scattered through the thinner parts
of the wood, a running, rattling fire of
musketry was mingled with shouts and
imprecations, while out across the open
field still poured the heavy, bellowing
tide of the battle.
When Maynurd saw that the vehe
mence of the young lieutenant was be
ginning to tell upon bis strength he
changed his manner of fighting, and at
once began a rushing assault witu all
his reserve force. Rose saw this tre
mendous effort, and, without knowing
what she did, grasped the Englishman
around the body and tried to hold him
bock. This did not appear to trouble
Maynard in the least It is probubli
that ho did not notice it, so savagely in
earnest wus he in pressing down upon
bis weaker antagonist, who wus now some
what entungled in a clump of small bush
es that hindered his movements. Anoth
er minute must have ended the combat
in Maynard's favor, although Rose was
struggling desperately to embarrass him
and render his urin unsteady. Prescott
was no louger fighting; he was merely
straining to dofond himself. Grampus.
who up to this time had been praying in
abject terror, suddenly observed the sit
uation, and at the same time caught the
overwrought, almost crazed look on the
face of Rose.
Come, Grampus, comet" she wailed;
'come, I tell youl"
Tho old negro leaped up and sprang
forward, flourishing a heavy club.
"Stop datl stop dutr he cried; but the
men did not hear or heed hi in.
Stop dut or I knock yo' head off n yo'

Maynard was still pressing his advant
age and forcing Prescott back into the
entangled bushes.

tiptoe and wielding the club with nli
tho enormous strength of both bis arms,
be dashed it uguinst the back of May

The man fell us if hit with a bolt of

There u no record, nor is there even
tradition, to lead me in giving any par
ticulars touching the escape of Pres
cott and Roso from the battlefield. That
they did escape and were married soon
after is well known, and it seems to be
settled thut Rose lived with the Ameri
can army, following her husband through
the hardships of a soldier's life until the
happy end of the war.
Savannah was never retaken by tbe
Americans, and therefore it was impos
sible for Rose to see her mother until
after peuce had come, and with it the
freedom of America. The family tried
to destroy all the proof of the affair
which forms the central thread of my
story, but it could nut bo doue.
In the army Prescott's beautiful and
devoted wife was given tho name that 1
have taken for tho titlo of my romance,
and even so lute ns in 1810 there was a
letter written in which sho was referred
to as "The Roso of Chatham."
Maynard was left where the blow de
livered so opportunely an 1 so effectively
by Grampus felled him; but he sur
vived many years, and was met in Paris
by Prescott and Rose when they were
traveling for the benefit of their daugh
ter's health. It was not a pleasant meet
ing, hut there was no encounter. The
men had grown too old, und the circum
stances out of which their animosity
arose had been left too far behind for
any active passion to lie uroiised by such
" chance glimpse nt them. Rose, with a
woman's quick sight, observed that when
Maynard's eyes met hers a plow, scarcely
noticeable pallor overspread his face, and
the slender scar oti hU cheek burned like
A line of lightning across a dull gray
cloud. He had uever married and was

ought ter know 1 would die for ye," he add-
cd huskily. " 'Pears ter me like the pur
tier t lie Lord makes his critters the more
willful he makes 'cm."
To this speech the girl answered nothing,
hut stood watching him for a little, as if
meditating. Then she burst out with a
sudden iiispiciitioii. "I tell yer what yer kin
uo, ilanse Doling," she exclaimed, "VV by
don't yer spend a night iu tbe yeller devils'
den down on Gnuleyf"
Then she broke into a paroxism of laugh
ter and ran into the cabin. When she re
turned, her lover had disappeared.
The yellow uevils' den" of which she
had spoken is a cave on tbe rocky bunk of
theGuuley river, which can be reached only
by swimming or in a dugout. It is in tbe
base of a perpendicular cliff which reaches
down to the water's edge. Its mouth is
only a foot or so above tbe level of the liv
er, and how far back it reaches no one
knows, for since it was first discovered it
has been infested with rattlesnakes of tbe
most ferocious character.
For several days after his visit to the Co-
gar cabin, so the mountaineers tell the
story.IInnse Doling was missing. Lannle
supposed thut his protracted absence from
the cabin was caused by a continued rise
In the Gaulcy river, and that be could not
get across it. It was learned that he had
not been ut his home since his visit to tbe
Cognrs, and much anxiety was felt about
him.
Finally Lannle thought about the task
she had Imposed upon him, iu jest, to win
her hand. "He couldn't hev been so plumb
foolish," she said at first, but her fears grew
upon her, uud she told tbe story. A searchi
ng party was organized, and tbe cavern
wus visited in dugouts. When they reached
it, a horrible sight met their eyes. Near the
mouth of the den was found the body of
tbe young man, terribly swollen and al
most totally disfigured. It was surrounded
by dozens of tbe rattlesnakes. These glided
under the body or coiled themselves upon
it in defensive attitudes at the approach of
the mountaineers. Before the body could
be recovered the reptiles had to be killed or
driven back into tbe cave.
Tbe lover bad taken bis sweetheart at
er word and attempted to spend a night
in the hellish hole. Tbe remains of a fire
were found inbe den, and it wus surmised
that Doling had built this to keep oft' the
makes. This would probably have beea
the result, but the treacherous river had
risen suddenly, as tbe mountain streams do,
at a moment's not ice, quenched tbe fire and
penned tbe victim in tbe den. He had been
unable to escape, bad been surrounded by
the rattlesnakes and hud died from the
bites which he bad not been able to avoid.
Wbeu Lannie Cogar learned the truth,
le was overcome with remorse and struc!;
uttib at her loss, for it is said that she
really loved Doling and bad intended to
marry him. For days she sat crouched in
becblmney corner of the cabin, not speak-
ng to any one or answering when ad-
ressed. Suddenly one morning she dis
appeared. She returned to tbe cabin that
evening, laughing joyously, w ith something
In ber hand This something proved to be
several rattle of snakes she had killed.
Since that time she has bunted the snakes
continuously.
A Ilurular Keep a Sufa.
On Monday the burglar who broke
into Colonel Arthur Puget's bouse, In
Belgruve stiuure, n few nights ago, was
chnrged at tho Westminster police court
and committed for trial nt the Old
Bailey. It appeared iu evidence that
this prisoner, named Tbtirgtir, alios
Knot, has struck out a new line in the
business of cracksman. Since August
lust, when ho came out of prison, ho has
rented a safe ut the Chancery Lane Safe
deposit, in order uo doubt to avoid any
unplensnnt association with receivers of
stolen goods. When searched by the
police the safe was found empty, yet no
doubt, but for the accident of Colonel
Puget's appearance at the moment when
Thurgar was taking Mrs. Puget's jowels,
it would now contuin plenty of articles
of value.
There is something very amusing in
