And tin gallant vounr American un men nave layed their parts. Jathu Barney, ao married to nla Ann, naa Deen captured and exenangea an 1 previous occasion. Now anca affain be as a prisoner of tna Brmsn. Kenny Boyle, in Ioto with Barbary Barney, haa lost ana hand and ail but lost nil life In a battle between the Bonhomme Richard and Serapts. He ey he will net return ta Barbary thus mutilated. Now go on with the story CHAPTER 31 ' Joshua and his men were carried to New York aboard tha Intrepid Captain Malloy proved a man of far different stamp from those to whom ha had previously surrendered. - Joshua and the rest of tha pris oners were neroea in summer uni forms. Just as they were taken. Into the pen amidships, ordinarily reserved for the hogs, and there held to wait disposition until they reached the gangling city on .the Island, sometimes called Manhat tan. Joshua, seething within, came to New York in the full expectation of some degree of lustlce. But changes In the British command had been swift and many. Admiral Collier cared little what became of prisoners of war, and Admiral Rodney appeared onlv in terested In what share of the prize money mignt oo ms. They were nut aboard tha Yar- mouth, and after forty days there. all crowded Into a space less than twenty ieet square, they were pass ed ashore to find themselves In England In Plymouth not long after Christmas Day. From the landing they were marched under heavy guard, for manv of the fniir who watched them pass were almost openly sympathetic to Mill Prison.1 ine gate nao not much more than clanged behind him and his scrawny, emaciated fellows before Joshua was contemplating escape. If he waited for exchange, the chances were he would rot where he was tlU the end of the war i ana mat he had no Intention of doing But the means that was uie prooiem. " He tried the most obvious route. He secured a handful of fellow prisoners and they lifted one of the stones in the back court and started to tunnel their way to free- uoin. nut tnat was too old a trick. It was discovered by the guard, filled In and sealed up. Fortunate ly, none of them was at work on the undertaking, and though the entire prison was lined up and made to stand for hours while the commandant stormed and threaten ed in an effort to find the culprits, po one spoke. Consequently that attempt went unpunished. - Their next effort was not ao nappy. They attempted to escape through the sewers out that way was barred by a stout iron grille set In stones and concrete. They were caught and hauled off to con finement in the Black Hole, where they lay for forty days on half rations. It was mid-April before Joshua as released. He had had time to consider that subtlety was likely to get him further than blundering, direct methods. The third effort must be successful for If he was caught again he would likely be chained In the Hole as a chronic offender. This time he must suc ceed, even if It was necessary to buy his freedom. ; The question of money raised little problem. As an officer he was accorded the privilege of cashing small drafts. Ever since his ar rival he had been assiduous In this, passing his weekly draft through the guard office and drawing them against Lady Grant, a Tory rela tive of Ann's who lived In London and who he knew could scarcely refuse to honor them for fear of future retaliation on some of her own closer kin In America. By this means he managed to amass a tidy little sum. One day he was sitting with his back against the side of the bar racks, when one of the patrolling redcoats came striding In a devil of a hurry to get his tour of duty over with and take himself down to the taverns In the town. Joshua sprawl ed with his legs thrust out before mm, and the man stumbled and almost fell across Joshua's knees. "Why th' dlvil don't yes be slttln' where lrlrvwan that's passln by'll no oe isuin- au over year" no de manded. "Why. th- dlvll dont ye be lookin' where ye're goln' yerself, man, an' not be fllngln' around as if ye'd th' whole run o" th' place?" Joshua's retort In the soft, broad brogue of the south of Ireland that he had picked up from Kenny was purely automatic. It was so he had used to tease his friend, and now some thing In the guard's slight slur Brought It back to him. The guard! je widened. "Be Saint Patrick, an' Irishman, an' from County Kerr at that, or I'll be eatln' me own muskit, prlmln' an' all!" " Twill be most unpalatable, I'm afraid!" Joshua grinned at him. 'For as much as I hate to disap point you, I was born In Baltimore, in Maryland, But one of my very best friends was from the south part of Ireland you mention. I take It you're a Kerryman yourself?" - 'Indeed I am that!" cried the soldier, staring at Joshua with In terest. "An' who be this friend o' wherever l you are yours ye mention?" Joshua smiled a little wryly. "The very beat friend a man ever had was a lad from Tralee. of the name of Boyle." "Tralee Is It?" he cried. "Ill be knowin' th' place well meself I Twas there eight-ten years ago th' bloody damned recrultin' sergeant crossed me palm with th' King's ahillin' an' says t' me. 'John Michael O'Oorman. ye re a poor, bad bargain oi a re cruit, ye are!

Wad he be after twin' anny relative o' Big Sean O'Boyle, th' free trader, that th' bloody Sassenach prevlntlve mini were after takln' an' hangln' at his own door "That would have been Kenny's father." Joshua said. " Twas one of the reasons why he fought so hard for us. But you re a strange one to be wearing the coat you are. Ah am I not just alter teiun vex i couidn t be helDin meseur the man cried. ' An aon t oe getun th' notion 111 oe in' omy wan, either 1 Sure, 'tis manny a year th bloodv redcoats hev been drummln' th' lanes an' highways o' Ireland for th' likes o' us, an' manny's th' trick they'll be usin' f catch us. tool But, hlatl We must not be seen taixin . iu oe on ajuiy oe in inner gate tomorry at market lime.

Joshua sllorjed a hand Into his pocket and drew out a guinea, which; ne tupped and the guard caught ex pertly and slipped into ms own coat axter a quick mok arouna.

Joshua was at the gate the next day. pretending to oe looting over me ouncues oi gxeens ana suit socks that the women from town had brought to offer, and there, sure enough, looking a little the worse for wear but nonetheless happy for it. was John Michael ouorman Joshua eased around toward him. and the guard whispered out of the corner oi nu mourn: "An, an' a grand good day it Is t' ye, sir, though 1 can t be sure I'll be seeln' it right! What Is It I can be gettln' fer ye down below in ur town?" "You wouldn't happen to know oi Quiet little tauor shop where you could pick up the unliorm of a lieutenant In tue British Navy aoout mv sue now would Your Joshua grinned, as If he were Jok ing when he said it. But his heart was in nis mroat tor au tnat. O'Oorman 'a eyes slanted toward! Lm. "Maybe I do at than" He procured the uniform and smuggled It In to Joshua in a bun dle of greens. After that he fetched in uie long anaooy overcoat wnicn covered the American from chin to th too of his shoes. He made the contacts within the town and arranged the means by which Josh ua was to find shelter. The day Itself came, m May. Again on guard at the inner gate, O'Oorman whispered out oi ine corner of his mouth: ' Noon!" At midday Joshua wandered over near the gate. He dropped the coat. and snatcned out his cocked hat and walked toward the outer gate. A sergeant of the guard glanced at mm. "Oood day. Leftenantl" he said smartly, and saluted. The guard at the door snapped his musket to the present. Joshua returned the salute grimly and without a word strode straight through and down the hill. Within the town he followed O'Oorman's directions until he came to the rectory of All Saints, where the Reverend Llndsey Beckwltn and his wife Elizabeth greeted Joshua hospitably. The Anglican rector made It his Interest to look after American. The aon, Edward Beckwlth. was about of a size- with Joshua. Joshua secured a suit of his clothing, pay ing him welL That done, Edward wit sent to engage a post chaise In which he might drive to Exeter. Within an hour of the time he ap peared at their door Joshua said farewell to his clerical friends and was driving at top speed for the town at the mouth of the Exe. At Exeter he surrendered his chaise at the Royal Clarence Just In time to catch the Bristol coach that left with the dawn. At Bris tol he went to ground for a week with the Americans' secret agent at that place a collector of His Majesty's Customs! until he could obtain aeveral more complete change of clothing. After that, as tsunty as any British gentleman, he rode ine top seat oi trie stage all the wav to London, and from there. with th help of other agents. he secured passage aboard a packet to ueieno.
