And while wo disputed by tho randlo

was wondering at the lack of the sig

For as I tossed restlessly, while it
was yet pitch dark, there was a knot k
ut the door and tho orderly shouting:
" Vp. sergeant, in a hurry I Y'ou have
duty The general's exsili(iou pulls
anchor at 6 for tho Virginian capes. "
I saw beyond s-railvoiituro then that
1 had failed dismally 1 should have no
other chance at my man how, while if
1 wished to avoid the spy's death I
must keep up appearance and serve as a
liritish soldier
Outside in tho ball was tho girl, hor
eyes rod by the candlelight.
"Forgive mo, " said she. When I was
silent, she added, "I did it for you "
"For him. "
"For you to save you for the cause. "
"ruughl said L " 1 despise you for
a meddling hussy "
Yet I thought afterward slio indeed
bad not betrayed mo. That was certain
1 wondered what was the reason, (lis
mayed over the turn of the adventure.
For here was 1, uow bound for Vir
ginia, as earnest a patriot as ever served
in tho war, but iu tho uniform of an
Fuglish soldier and commanded by the
very Arnold whom 1 had como to take
In addition tho weather turned dirty,
aud 1 suffered tlio worst torments the
gea ran inflict on those so indiscreet as
to trust to its fickleness. Let them bo
sailors who will, I would be content to
be tho humblest landlubber rather than
to owu all the fame of tho most es
teemed admiral.
1 remember It was a week after wo
had made a lauding before 1 re-covered
my heart and wus in somo way uhlo to
debate tho chance of escape to the
American lines. I had become, with
memory of that wretched discovered
letter, as cunning as a fox. Hut, despite
all my cunning, tho chance never pre
sented itself. I could not hope to abduct
Oencral Arnold with now no man
Whom 1 dan-d trust with even a hint of
my truo mission of spy How quickly 1
should be worsted.
Strangely 1 did iu my falso iswitioii
singularly good service I was com
mended again and again when least of
all did I want praise for a uirt I detest
ed. That old saying of the mockery iu
tho way of th world camo to mo in
those days, "When you may be indiffiT
eut to success, lo, it comes to you "
As a matter of fact, wo remained in
this inaction somo throe mouths, till
we joined Lord Cornwallis at Peters
burg I was then detailed to go with a
division instructed to intercept some
reported foragers sent ont by Major
Harry Loo.
I strained my ears as I heard. I was
arrayed against Major Hurry, whom 1
loved if over I loved a man, both for
being most considerate of his inferiors
and always tho rtiirenevll lender. 1
laughed as I thought of it 1 against
Major Harry!
Y'et it was not so comical an affair in
very earnest Here in Virginia I was
known. Ono day nu old woman who
bad heard my history spat ut ma I
rould not Main her.
Hut two persons I hatisi, Hem-diet
Arnold and the meddling hussy. I
thought I might kill him, and so, al
though I certainly should be hanged, I
thould Ite lauded by my old comrades
is a hero after all these days of apiiar
ently deserved contempt
I thought, perhaps, of tho meddling
hussy ut the stair head. She had foiled
mo, but In some enrions way she equally
had made it imMusiblo for me to kill
the man had I the chance.
It hupicnod one evening at a (siint
Hoar the Carolinian line.
I broke away much as I had at Tap
pan, but this time, know ing the coun
try better than my pursuers, 1 managed
to elude them w ith less danger to my
skin.
As I was now walking my horo in
the direction of the Conguroe, w here I
supiMtsed Major Harry to have been, I
stumbled directly on one of his pickets.
The man brought mo in, covering me
w it Ii his musket And then suddenly ho
rts'ognizod mo.
'Sergeant Major Champo, tlio desert
er!" he cried, at first increduloiisl v and
then exultantly. "God, w hat a bird I
have brought down!"
Others by this time had gathered, and
then an oil leer, lieforo whom a black
rarriisl a lantern, approached over the
half frozen gronniL It was curly March.
'Major I.oe!" I said weakly, for by
some chance I had fallen in w ith no
less a personage. "Major Is !" (lie
was then lieutenant colonel of the dra
goons, though always "major" to me.)
Whore are you?" ho began, mid
then, leaping from his horse, ho oriisl,
taking my hand iu his:
'Champo!"
'Champo, who failed," I in sided.
shamefaced. The men stood at suit, as
tounded. For was I not a di sorter? The
major knew their thoughts.
Sergeant Major John Cliainis" is this
gentleman, who, like Captain Halo, to
serve his country bs'k on the disguise
of a spy among the Hritish. "
Then suddenly through that little de
tachment of my old comrades a cheer
went np, and I believe that, after nil I
had imagined anil suffered, this scene
in the Carolina swamp was tho happiest
in my life.
'Hut how did von fail, man?" tlu
major nskod w hen w e rode to his main
division. "I really U lievisl yon would
carry it out. Wc waited at HoUvk un
til tisi late for any possible hope of your
appearance.

said, my heart 1 in. r against her.
A went h, Champo? I thought not
that of yon. "
"F.h, but yon must," said I, and I
told him the story.
"It is strange," said ho musingly,
"why she didn't Is tmy you I can't
understand It unless"
" I'nless?"
"I'nless she were in love with you,"
mid Major Ust,
"Impossible!" said I. f.irgt ttmg to
laugh. Why, of siursr it was al ur 1,
although I could not get the notion rut
of my head.
At his headquarters, where my old
comrades, who now know the whole of
my story, mmlo much of my deil. al
though in faith it was failure enough,
the major told me be could Uot take me
buck into my old isiniAiiy
"And why?" I a.sk.l hotly, for 1
