CHAPTER XXVII— Continued
Jack and Solomon exercised unusual
care In guarding the camp and organ-
izing for defense In case of attack
It was soon after Washington' depart-
ure that Arnold went away on the road
to the South Solomon followed keep-
ing out of hla field of vision The gen-
eral retamed two days later Solomon
camo Into Jack'a hut about midnight
of the day of Arnold's return w ith Im-
portant news
Jack was at hla desk studying a
map of the lllghlnnds The camp was
et jest The candle In Jack’s hut
waa the only sign of life around head-
quarters whipn Solomon having put out
hla horse came to talk with bla young
friend Ha stepped close to the desk
(wallowed nervously and began hi
whlppered report
Suthln neevarloui be goln on” be
began A British ehtp were lyin’
nigh the mouth o’ the Croton river
Arnold went aboard An officer got
Into his boat with him and they pulled
ever to the west shore and went Into
the bush Stayed thar till mos’ night
If 'twere honest business why did
they go off In the bush alone fer a
talkr
Jack shook his heal
"Soon at I aeen that I went to one
e our batteries an' tol' the cap'n what
were on my mini
D— n the ©I’ British tub We’ll
make 'er back up a little' os be
Bhe'e too clue anyhow’
"Then he let go a shot that ripped
h© water front o’ her bow Say Jack
they were toiue hoppln around on the
deck o’ the big British war eloop
They h'leted her sails an she fell away
down the river a mile 'er so The
un were set when Arnold an the
officer caine out o' the bush I were
In a boat with a fish rod an could Je‘
see ’em with my spy glass the light
were so dim They stood thar lookin'
fer the ehlp They couldn’t eee her
They went back Into the buah It come
to me what they was goln’ to do Ar-
nold were a goln' to taka the Britisher
over to the house o’ that ol’ Tory Reub
Smith 1 got thar fust an’ hid In the
bushes front o' the house Sure
nough! — that'e whst were done Ar-
nold an' t other feller come erlong
an' went Into the house Twere so
dark 1 couldn't see ’em but 1 knowed
’twere them”
'IIow ?' the young man askel
'Cause they didn’t light no candle
They sot In the dark an they didn’t
talk out loud like honest men would
I come erway I couldn’t do no more'
I think you’ve done well" said
Jack "Now go and get aome rest
Tomorrow may he a hard day”
Jack S(ent a bad night In the ef-
fort to be ai great aa hla problem
In the nmrnlng he tent Solomon and
three other able scout to look the
ground over east west and south of
the army One of them was to take
the road to Hartford and deliver
message to Washington
After the noon mess Arnold mount
ed his horse and rode aw-ay alone
The young brigadier sent for hla trust
ed friend Captain Merrlwether
"Captain the general has set out
on the east road alone" suld yack
"He le not well There’ something
wrong with his heart I am a little
worried about hint He ought not to
be traveling alone My horse Is In front
of the door Jump on hie hack an
keep In sight of the general but don'
let him know whst you are doing”
A little later Mrs Arnold entered
the office of the new brigadier In
most cheerful mood
"I have good new for you" she an
nounced "A British officer hits come
In r ship under a flag of truce to
cmfer with General Arnold I sent
a letter to Margaret Ilnre on my own

no heart The message wee from Sol-
omon He had got word that the
British warship had come back up the
river and waa two miles above 8tony
Folnt with whit flag at her mast-
head "I went out of doors Boon I met
Merrlwether coming Into camp Ar-
nold had returned lie had ridden at
walk toward the headquarter of the
8econd brigade and turned about and
come back without speaking to any
one Arnold waa looking down as If
absorbed In hie 'own thoughts when
Merrlwether passed him In the road
He did not return the latter’a salute
It wae evident that the general had
ridden away for the tola purpoaa of
being alone
I went back to my hut and aat down
to try to find my way when auddenly
the general appeared at my door on
his bay mare and asked me to take
little ride with him I mounted my
horse end we rod out on the east
road together for half a tnlle or so
"I believe that my wife had aoma
talk with yon this morning’ ha began
"’Tea I answered
"A British officer hae come up the
river In a ahlp under white flag with
proposal regarding an exchange of
prisoners In my answer to their re-
quest for a conference aome time
ago I enclosed a letter from Mrs
Arnold to Mias Margaret Bale Invit-
ing her to come to our home where
she would find hearty welcome and
her lover— now an able abd most val-
ued officer of the staff A note re-
ceived yesterday says that Mlaa Hare
la one of the party We are glad to
be able to do you this Uttle favor
"I thanked him
"T wlali that you could go with
me down the river to meet her In the
morning he eald But In my absence
tt will of course be necessary for
you to be on duty Mrs Arnold will
go with me and we shall I hope bring
the young lady safely to headquarters’
"He was preoccupied Hla face
wore serious look Thera was
melancholy note In hla tone — I had
observed that In other talks with him
—but It was a friendly tone
tended to put my fears at rest
“I asked the general what he
thought of the prospects of success
for our cause
“They are not promising” he an
swered The defeat c-f Gate In the
South and the scattering of Ids army
In utter rout la not an encouraging
event'
“ 'I think that we shall get along
belter now that the Gate bubble has
burst’ 1 answered”
Tbl ends the testimony of "the
able and most valued officer" Jack
Irons Jr
CHAPTER XXVIII
A an Army With Banners
The American army had been Bold
by Arnold The noble Ideal It hnd
cherished the blood It had given the
litter hardship It hnd suffered— tor
ture In the wilderness famine In the
lllghlnnds long murchea of half
nuked men In mid winter mnsacres
at Wyoming and Cherry Valley— utl
this had been bartered away like a
shipload of turnips to satisfy the
greed of one man Agnln thirty pieces
of silver I Was a nutlon to walk the
bitter way to Ita Culvarj? Major
Andre the adjutant general of Sir
Henry CUntnu’a large force In New
York was with the traitor when tie
rowed from the ahlp to the wet ahore
of the Hudson and went Into the bimh
under the ohservetloa of Solomon

ceive a fomtnund end large pay In

Knx Much othar Information wua
put In the hand of tb ItrUUh offi-
cer Including the pr-nilve move-
ment ef th romiimiidt-r In chief lie
was to be taken In the timiM of the
man he had befriended Andre had
Richard
only to reach New York with hit
treasure and Arnold to hold tho con-
fidence of hie chief for a few dayi
and before the leaves had fallen tbl
war would end The American army
and its maiter mind would be at tha
mercy of Sir Henry Clinton
Andre would have reached New
Tork that night If Tb Vulture had
not changed her position on accoun4
a shot from the battery below
Stony Point For that credit muet be
given to the good scout Solotuoo
Blnkus The ship wee not In sight
when the two men came out In thelt
boat from the west ahore of the rivet
while the night wee falling Arnold
bad heard the ehot and now that the
ship had left he feared that bla treacb
ery was suspected
"I may want to get away la that
boat myself” he euggested to Andre
She will not return until she gets
erdera from you or me” tho Brltlshei
assured him
I wonder what he become of her"
eld Arnold
"She hae probably dropped dowa
the river for some reason Andri
answered "What am I to dol”
“I’ll tako you to the house of a
man 1 know who lives near the rivet
and (end you to New York by horie
with passport! In the morning You
can reach the British tinea tomorrow”
“I would like that" Andre ex
claimed "It would afford me a wel-
come survey of tbo terrain”
Smith ill give you a ault ot
clothes that will fit you well enough”
aid the traitor "Too and he art
about of a size It will be better for
you to be In citizens' dress"
So It happened that In the darknesi
of the September evening Smith ant
Andre the latter riding the blazed
face mare aet out for King's Ferry
where they were taken across th
river They rode a few mllea south ot
the landing to the shore of Crom pon4
and spent the night with a friend ol
Smith In the morning the latter wenl
on with Andre until they had passef
Pine's bridge on the Croton rivet
Then he turned back
Now ADdre fared along down thr
road alone on the back of the mart
Nancy n came to an outpost of th
Highland army and presented bla
psss It wee examined and endorsed
end he went on hla way ne met
transport wagons a aquad of cavalry
and later a regiment of militia com
lng up from western Connecticut bul
no one etopped him In the faded hat
and coat and trousere of Reuhea
Smith this man who called hlmsell
John Anderson wee not much unlike
the farmer folk who were riding
hither and thither In the neutral terri-
tory on their petit errands His face
was different It was the well-kept
face of an English aristocrat with
handsome dark eyes and hair begin-
ning to turn gray
A little out of Tarrytown on the
highway the horseman traveled a
group of three men were hidden In the
bush— ragged recklesa unlettered
country lads waiting for cows to come
down out of tha wild land to bt
mtlked They were “skinners” In tht
patriot militia aoma have said some
that they were farmers' eons not In
the army However that may have
been they were undoubtedly rough
hard-fisted fellows full of tha lawleai
spirit bred by five years of desperate
warfare They were looking for
Tories as well aa for cattle Tories
were their richest prey for the latter
would give high reward to be ex
cused from the oath of allegiance
They esme out upon Andre and chal-
lenged him The latter knew that he
had passed the American outpoata
and thought that he waa near the
British lines lie was not familiar
with the geography of the upper east
shore He knew that the so-called
neutral territory was overrun by two
parties— the British being called the
Tower” and the Yankees the "Upper"
“What rarty do you belong tol"
Andre demanded
'The Lower" said one of the
Yankees
