A BO! OF M
By NATHAN HAROV.
tCopyrlght. 1910, by American Fwaa Aaao-
Genertil Washington was at Morria-
t0One m'orntng when the general waa
In his oOlco nn orderly announced
blm that Nicholas HiinUend wished to
sue 1.1m. Esy of aeoesa the com
mauder In chief ordered the caller to
ho admitted and was surprised to aee
tt i,oy of sixteen. The youth enowed
every evidence of distress.
What can 1, do for you, my boyr
aaked the commander.
"You can redreaa a wrong, generaL
1 have been very badly treated."
"By whom?"
The recruiting officers. They won't
enlist me. They aay 1 am uuder age."
1 comineud your patriotism, my
boy, and we need every soldier we can
get. If there la uo other reason than
your youth to be brought against your
enlist uiwit I should like to aee your
wish gratified."
"Indeed, there are good reasons why
1 should be permitted to fight, gen
eral. Our family consisted, when the
war hecan. of father, mother, three
boye and two girls. The British killed
father at the battle of Long iaiana;
my oldest brother waa shot at Harlem
Heights; the neit one of your dis
patch riders waa klllod while crossing
tiiA Msatc river carrvlua a message
from you to Colonel Burr In Westches
ter county. I, the youngest, am left to
avenue tficlr eathB."
The geuerul looked at the boy with
minima' admiration and astonishment
"It seems to mu, my young friend,"
ho aald, "thai Uieae reasons you have
given me for your enlistment a rath
er reaaous why you should not enlist.
Tour mother and sisters have given
quite enough to the cause. It la your
duty to protect tnem."
"But, general"
"My declalon," interrupted the gen
eral In a firm but kindly tone, "is that
tt la your duty to return to your home
and stay there till the end of the war."
The commander took the boy'8 hand
and prosaed It warmly. Nlcholaa with
drew, wiping a tear from his eye. His
last hope of being enlisted naa van
ished. The next time Washington aaw Nlch
olaa Halstead waa at daybreak of a
Sunday morning when a New Jersey
regiment waa marchlug past the gen
eral In chief to go into tne oattie or
Monmouth. Nlcholaa saw the com
mander sitting on hla horse beside the
road and endeavored to conceal hlm
aelf behind the file tn front of him,
but Washlugton'a quick eye lighted on
him. The boy never forgot the look
the general gave him on that occasion.
It was one of mingled pain, admiration
and reproach. Raising his haud, he
motioned Nicholas to fall out or me
ranks. The young soldier did so, and
the commander aald to him:
"Are you an enlisted manr
"Yea, general. At last I found a re
cruiting officer who would paaa me."
"Eluce you are in the military service
and In this army you are under my
orders. I desire you to carry a mes
sage for me. Go to your mother and
tell hot that her country will accept
no more sacrifices at her hauds and
that tho last one of her noble men
ahall remain with her by my order till
he la discharged."
Nicholas burst Into tears. The gen
eral, bending dowu, pressed the young
aoldler'a baud; then, forgetting him
In more important duties, he rode
away.
It is a matter of history that there
waa a traitor In the American army
high in command, that traitor being
General Cbarlea Lee. He did what he
could to throw the victory Into the
hands of the British, finally on his own
responsibility ordering a retreat of hla
own troops which Involved other dl-
Tlsiona of the American army. A panic
followed, and the men fled precipitate
ly, mauy of them frantically hurrying
toward a causeway covering a morass.
Wmihlnirton when he heard of the
disaster pushed forward, placing the
troops under his own immediate com
mand at the end of the causeway near-
eet the enemy to stop the flight of
Lee's and other troops. Among tnis
f.u. flL'htinu at the causeway Waah

dleuce of the order sending him home, j
but tha general, maddened though he
was With Leo'a treachery, was not too
occupied to notice Nicholas fighting at
the most Important polut. The British
were held off, the battle was renewed,
and When the fight closed at nightfall
Washlugton made his dispositions to
attack the next morning.
Having slept during the night under
a large onk trw, he awoke before
dawn and mounted his horse. But the
light of day revealed the fact that tho
enemy had allpped away under cover
of the darkness.
During the morning while the com
mMiwlnr was ridlne over the battlefield

dead and wounded and stagger away.
