Already most of Ber muda's business, is with the UnitedStates, and our people make up the bulk of tho "itthbt l'iu !l'n to me nez' tlmtl" 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.

San Francisco Examiner. 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' neckl Maynard was still pressing his advant age and forcing Prescott back into the entangled bushes. Mebbe you lis n to me nex time! fairly shouted old Grampus as, rising on tiptoe and wielding the club with nli tho enormous strength of both bis arms, be dashed it uguinst the back of May nard's head. The man fell us if hit with a bolt of lightning. 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 understood to be a quiet, reticent, rather sod mannered man whose chief amuse ment was travel.

" '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.
