The lust battle of the Revolution was
not at Yorktown, nor was it any of the
muny 'small "skirmishes that occurred
after the surrender of. Coniwullis and
before the formal declaration of peace
in 17S3. The last buttle whs of the na
ture of a duel, and it happened on the
day the British evacuated New York.
The great day that was to see the
last of King George lll.'s regiments
leave these shores finally arrived. The
British army wan to board the ships
that lay in the harbor. Washington
and his troops were waiting at Kings-
bridge and McCJowan's pass to take
possession of the city iiiiinedately on
their departure.
Major WlHiam Cunningham, the
British provost marshal and command
er of the prison on the common, gave
one last look about his office, tossed
the key on the table and went out
Into the sunlight, slamming the door
behind him ill much unnecessary
violence. infamous reigu was
over, There were few forms or. cruel
ty that he had hesitated to practice on
the luckless Continental prisoners In
his charge. Among the mildest were
the contamination of their drinking
water by throwing rubbish Into the
well and the appropriation and sale of
their rations for his own profit.
The friends and relatives of his vic
tims were flocking back to the city tri
umphant, and it behooved Major Cun
ningham not to linger. So he left
the prison, turned Into the common,
and crossed It to gain Broadway. He
strode along muttering curses under
bis breath. At the curlier of Broad
way and Murray street something
caught his eye. lie stopped, hesitated,
then turned aside and hastened down
Murray street.
"What audacity: What monstrous
audacity!" he thought. But It was like
that rebel spitfire. Mistress Day. He
would teach her one final lesson.
He reached the Day house, which
was a tavern near Greenwich street,
opened the gate and shook his fist at
the Stars and Stripes that fluttered
from a tall flagpole, as If waving n
triumphant welcome to the Continental
troops.

and begun to pull the flag down tb-

action that soothed his ruttled feelings.
He would at least take back to Eug

From her kitchen that patriotic wo

Wouiuu, do you realize what you
are doing?" he roared. The broom

major dodged. Whack! It struck him
squarely across the bridge of his nose,
and the field ut once became ensan

The bleeding 'officer now began to

A HISTORIC BELL
From the Guerriere to the Constitution,
Then to a Mill.
One would hardly expect to find an
object of historic Interest lu so pro
Rale a place as a New England mill
an object older than the oldest title of
the English peerage, an object made
before the English parliament was
lormed. Yet such an object is In dally
use in u factory at Saylesvlllc, R. I. It
is a bell, whose history Is a most In- i
terestlng one. Around the bell, about j
four inches from the crown. Is this su- j
perscrtptkm: "Peter Secest Amsterdam, i
Anno me fecit." j
The date, together with other well ;
authenticated facts, leads to the belief j
that the bell was long used in a cou- j
vent belfry in England and was taken
therefrom for public use during the
leformutlnn. But the connecting link
between irs life In the old world and
its advent to America is the famous

The Guerriere, a helpless wreck, was j

Captain Dacres of the royal navy, on i

In the meanwhile the boats of the 1
Constitution were busily engaged In
transporting the crew of the defeated
ship to the deck of the victor. A mid-
shipman reported to the first lieuten
ant that the ship's bell had been car
ried away by a grapeshot from the
Guerriere and that there was no way
of announcing the time to the ship's
company.
At that moment the Guerriere gave a
succession of heavy plunges, and the
clear tones of a tine bell rung over the
water.
Go get the Englishman's bell," said
the lieutenant to the midshipman.
"There will be no further use for It ou
board that craft."
The Guerriere surrendered at 7
o'clock in the evening of Aug. 10, 1812.
and at 8 o'clock the same evening Pe
