ONE morning, that autumn, Mrs.'
Adams came Into Alice's room,
and found her completing a sober toilet
for the street ; moreover, the expres
sion reveajed in her mirror was har
monious with the business-like sever
ity, of her attire. What makes yon
look so cross,: dearier"? the mother
asked. CouWnt you find anything
nicer to wear than that plain old dark
dress"? ' i - .
"I don't believe I'm cross," the girl
said, absently. T believe I'm just
thinking. Isn't it about time"?
Time for what"? . '
"Tiro for thinking for me, I mean?"
Disregarding this. Mrs. Adams looked
her over thoughtfully. "I can't see why
you don't wear more coTtor,': she said.
At your age it's becoming and proper,
too. Anyhow, when you're going on
the street, X think you ought to look
just as gay and . lively as yon can
manage. , You want to show 'em you've
got " some 'spunk I"
"How do you mean, mama?"
: "X mean about Waiter's running

of his business. It would help to show
'era yourre holding up your head Just
the same. - '
"Show whom V " r "
"All these ether girU that".
- "Not I!" Alice laughed shortly, shak
ing her head. I've quit dressing at
them, and if they saw me they wouldn't
think what you want 'em to. . It's
funny ; but we don't often make people
think what we want 'em to, mama.
You do thus and so ; and you tell
yourself, "Now, seeing me do thus and
so, people will naturally .think this
and that; but they don't. They think
something else usually just what you
don't want em to. I suppose about
the only good in pretending is the fun
we get out of fooling ourselves that
we tool somebody.
Well, but it wouldn't be pretending.
Tou ought to let people see you're still
holdinsr your head up becanse you are.
Ton wouldn't want that Mildred Palmer
to think you're castdown about well,
you know you woudn't want her not
to think you're holding your bead up,

"She wouldn't know whether I am or
not, mama." Alice bit her lip, then
smiled faintly as she said : "Anyhow,
I'm not thinking about my head in
that way not this morning. I'm not.
Mrs. Adams dropped the subject
casually. "Are you going downtown?"
she inquired. -"Yes.'
'
"What for?"
"Just something I want to see about.
I'll tell you when I come back. Any
thing you want me to dor

Paris, trying to persuade King
Louis to come to his country's aid,
Washington and his weary little army
were Spending the winter ef 17?7t in
camp at Valley Forge, net far from
Philadelphia, on the . Schuylkill river.
Valley Forge is a group of steep,
thickly wooded hills, divided by the
narrow stream. There are few houses
there.- even jgoday. and there is ne
large town for a considerable distance
It . was the gloomiest period of the
war. 1 The money . of the continental
congress was as valuable as -a. modern
German mark. An officer's pay would
not even pay for his boots or his panta
loons, and many an honest soldier
was forced to leave the army to earn
a living for himself and his family.
The men built wooden huts to live
in, IS soldiers to each little house.
Every brigade formed a little village
by itself, and laid out Its own streets.
- Earthworks were thrown up around
the whole eamp. and the traces - of
these may be seen today. Cannon were
placed to sweep ali. approaches, but
owing to the height and steepness of
the hill s on which the camp was placed,
it was too strong a position to tempt
the British to an attack during the
winter." The men had' very little food,
their clothes were- rags, and there wet
no money with which to buy new ones.
Of course there was much sickness,
and the death rate was out ef all pre
portion. .
This darkest of aU hours was chosen
by a certain General Conway to form
a plot against Washington.. This am
bitious scoundrel hosed to' hurt the
feelings of ' his commander in chief
until, be' would resign In disgust, . In
uuu event, Uenerai Gates would suc

to convince tne delegates to congress
from Pennsylvania and from Massa
chusetts of the righteousness of . his
complaints, and they drew up a re
monstrance . which severely ' censured
Washington. Fortunately. -: however,
for the success of -the good cause, the
best officers of the army and several
private citizens who realised that
jealousy was at the bottom of the af
fair, managed to expose the conspir
acy. Thereupon Conway dared not
show his face among the faithful sol'
dters again, while popular confidence
in Washington was strengthened, as
