CHAPTER 1. ‘lt was one by the village clock When he galloped into Lexington. He saw the gilded weather-cock Swim in the moonlight as he passed, Aund the meeting house windows, blank and bare, Gaze at him with a spectral glare, As if they already stood aghast At the bloody work they would look upon.” —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. On the night of the 18th of April, 1775, Delight Leland sat on the broad stone doorstep of her tather’s house watching the moon rise. Half a mile to the west ward she could see the roofs of Lexing ton village. At her feet lay the meadows and orchards of the Leland farm. The full moon sailed slowly up from behind the dark tree tops, flooding the lundscape with splendor. Objects here tofore distant and obscure were brought into elear view and clothed with beauty. The girl's dark blue eyes kindled with admiration of the scene. She rose to her full beight and drew a deep breath. The brightness of her face softened to tender longing. “It is a glorious night,” she murmured, folding her arms and stepping along the narrow pathway. At the gate she paused. T.eaning cver it, she looked eagerly down the road to Boston. “How I wish he would come,” she said, half aloud. A shadow approached from the other direction and reached her feet, a man’s step fell noiselessly on the thick turf be side the fence. “This way, sweetheart,” said a deep musical voice in her ear. She gave a start. ‘“Oh, Dave!” she cried. He saw that she was trembling violent ly, and noticed with surprise her sudden pallor. “Why are you so startled, sweetheart?” he asked anxiously, coming inside the gate and taking her cold hands in a close, warm ‘clasp. “Were you not looking for me? Why, Delight, what is it? Is any thing wrong? Don’t ery so; don’t, swect heart!” {n genuine distress, he drew her to a beneh under some tall evergreens and tried to sooth her almost hysterical weep ingz. He had known her from little child hood, and had never before seen her like this. Siiently he passed his hands over her soft hair, now and then his lips touch ing a curling lock. How was he to dream that all her thoughts had been of another as she stood by the gate in the moonlight? Who should tell him that the sting of a guilty conscience brought the pallor and the tears when his unexpected voice broke in upon her reverie c¢f longing for that other one? What would have been his consternation had he even suspected that during her recent visit to her uncle, Fran cis Leland, in Boston, a handsome young British officer, Archibald McPheadris by name, had stolen away the love he believ ed to be his own?. But he did not dream of the truth; no one had told him. Suspicion was entirely foreign to his open, noble nature. And so it was that he caressed Delight’s beau tiful hair and tried to undo the mischief he had wrought by coming upon her so suddenly, with no greater shadow over his happiness than regret for his thoughtless ness. It did occur to him that she had only lately become so sensitive. He re called two or three occasions on which a quick burst of tears or a petulant word had been his reward for some surprise planned for her enjoyment, but he could not dwell long upon these transient clouds whenr Delight sat beside him resting her head against his shoulder and gradually growing calm. “I've some great news for you, sweet heart,” he said, in a low tone. ‘*Roger came out from Boston just before sun set. e breought you this package from Desire.” He saw plainly in the brilliant moon light the deep tlush which mounted to her forehead, as she took the thiek parcel from his hand. “It is the millinet and taffeta for my new aprons and the gauze for mother’s cap. Desire promised to send them when the new goods should be opened at Mis tress Hate's shop,” she explained, some what hurriedly. “Yery like there may be a line from your sister inside. Desire was ever fond of using her quill. I remember she made always the neatest copy when we went to Dame Wheelock’s school as youngsters.” “Did Roger stop at my Aunt Salome's and have speech with Desire?” she asked, slipping the package under her apron and not cffering to open it to see whether or not the line was inside. *No. The blackamoor at your unele's door said she was out for a walk to the shore with your aunt, and that young pop injay of an Archie McPheadris I saw there once when I came to speak with you last winter. Are you cold that you shiver so, sweetheart? Let us go into the house.” He rose and drew her arm within his. Together they walked up the well-trodden pathway. A roaring fire blazed in the big chimney place and leaping shadows dart ed hither and thither about the large kitchen as they entered. It was a pleas ant room. On the red cedar dresser rows of pewter mugs and platters, highly pol ished, shone like silver. Glittering brass candlesticks stood on a round-leaved table. In a small, gilt-framed mirror the danc ing flames of the fire were reflected. High backed wooden chairs, a low wooden set tle and one wooden-bottomed rocking chair completed the furnishing, with the exception of a large spinning wheel push ed back against the wall. Delight, glanc ing around, saw her mother’s knitting ly ing beside the rocking chair, as if hastily dropped.. ““Aunt Rachel must be worse,” she said to Dave. “I'll go and see.” But before she went to her Aunt Ra chel’s room she ran noiselessly up to her own tiny chamber under the eaves and tore the wrapping from the parcel, which had not left her tight grasp. Within the soft layers of millinet and gauze was a square paper, folded many times, secure ly sealed and addressed to herself in a dashing hand. She kissed it thrice pas sionately before hiding it in her bosom. Then, catching up a light shawl, she threw it over her head and hurried down to the lower part of the house unobserved. “Is Aunt Rachel worse, mother?” she asked, stopping at the door of a small bedroom opening off thé kitchen. “She has had a bad turn, but is better now.” Delight stepped to the bedside and laid her cool hand on the hot cheek of the feeble-looking woman who lay there. “Desire!’”’ she murmured, “I’'m glad—oh, it is you, Delight!” Her tone changed as she opened her dark eyes and recognized the face bending over her. ‘“Why don’t she come home?’ The question came querulously. “No good’ll come of her staying so long in the camp of the Philis tines!” Delight’s face darkened. She turned away and left the room. “Don’t stay out long, child,” called her mother, noticing the shawl. “No, ma’am,” she replied. - “Let us go outside again, Dave,” she said to him on rejoining him in the kitch en. *“lt is so much pleasanter in the moonlight. And you shall tell me the great news Roger brought.” “Yes,” answered Dave, well pleased. “I forgot it when you grew so cold. There is wonderful news. I came over on pur pose to tell you.” By this time they were once more seat ed on the bench under the hemlocks. “You must keep-it a secret, sweetheart, until I give you leave to speak. In these sad days we scarcely know whom we can trust, and since the British have been sending out their spies through the coun try it seems as if the very walls have ears. Roger learned surely that another expe dition is soon to be sent out to capture stores, and it is certain that they will at tempt to get those at Concord his time.” “At Concord!” exclaimed Delight, sit ting upright. ‘“Then they’ll pass here!” David smiled significantly. “They doubtless expect to, but there are a good many brave hearts and stout guns between Boston and Lexington.” He saw her again turn pale and shiver, and he reproached himself anew for his lack of consideration. “Does it frighten your tender heart to think of the conflict that may—nay, that ‘must come before these meddlesome fel lows can learn to let us alone?”’ he in quired, anxiously, trying to encircle her with his protecting arm. “Well—it is——"’ - She turned from him, interrupting him in a tone of decided reproach. 1 “I think it is wicked for you to speak so, } Dave. They are our own relations almost and—and—! You know very well that we 'all came over from England not so very ‘ long ago, and-——and—we—we—ought—to ' be—at least—we ought not to begin the ‘ fighting.”’ ~ She looked up at him as she brought her halting sentence to a close, but she could } not long meet his gaze of surprise and re proof. ~ “Do yowmean to say, Delight,” he ask ‘ ed, with much more sternness than he had ever spoken to her, “that you think it is right for us to submit to oppression and ‘tyranny just because our ancestors came ‘ over here from England ?” “Of course she doesn’t, Dave! She’s as ltrue a patriot as every other Leland is. 'She's only afraid that her British Mr. McSomebody will get his pretty red coat mussed up if he tries to marech out to - Concord!” ~ This unexpected answer, uttered in a clear, laughing voice, startled them both. A tall young girl was before them, evi dently greatly delighted with the sensa tion she had produced. “I guess you didn’t hear me coming,” she went on, coolly, knowing very well that she had stolen to them by a round about way as silently as her stockinged feet would allow. Delight happened at this moment to catch sight of them, and her annoyance found vent in sharp re bulke. “Sylvia Leland,” she commanded, vig orously, ‘‘put on your shoes this very min ute! You'll get your death o’ cold in this damp grass! I should think you’d be ashamed to do such things—a great girl like you!” “It's just because I am a great girl and most old enough to have a beau of my own that I want to find out what you and Dave talk about when you sit out here alone in the moonlight,” she replied, with unabashed composure, sitting down on a stone and slipping on the shoes she had been carrying in her hand. “I’m not a bit ashamed of that,” shc continued, ‘“but I should be ashamed to say such things as vou did. I'd make Dave a braver sweet heart than that, myself!” David Townsend was very fond of this “little sister,” whom he considered almost as his own. He laughed heartily now at her childish prank, and admired the spirit with which she reproved Delight. The day came when he recalled her words, and then he remembered also how true and noble her bright, young face had appear ed that April night. 5 “Are the regulars really coming out here, Dave?” she asked him, lowering her voice and fixing her large hazel eyes on his with most eager interest. “Roger was told so, but nothing is known definitely, so don’t worry your lit tle head.” . o. “Worry!” she cried, springing up and swriking an attitude of defiance. “I'd be only too glad of a chanee for our bravae colonials *o show how they can defend their property. Wouldn't you, Delight ?” The quick change frem enthusiasm te mischief was plainly expressed in her voice, as she propounded this question. Delight did not deign to answer. She drew her shawl more closely around her head and rose. “Oh, Delight, don’t go in yet!” beggeéd Dave, reaching out to seize her hand. “*l've more to tell—"" But she wesalready half way to the house. “Good-night, Dave,” she called back. They both watched her until the heavy house door closed. Then Sytvia came and sat down beside the disappointed young man. “Don’t mind because she’s cross and queer, Dave. She’s been so a great deal since she came back from Aunt Salome’s the last time, when Aunt Rachel got so sick, you know,” she counseled and con soled in the frankest fashion. “Why don’t you hurry up and finish your new house and take her there? I would if I were you.” The cloud which had settled somewhat heavily over David's face deepened. “'Tis hard to get her to speak of our marriage at all lately,” he said, half aloud. Then, with swift compunction at even so slight a disloyalty, he added, hastily: “But then she’s not been well for some time, poor girl. Haven’t you noticed how easily she is startled and how often her head aches?” Sylvia’s pretty lips straightened to a scarlet line, an odd expression peeped out for an instant from between her droop ing eyelids, the least bit of a frown wrin kled her smooth forehead. “H’m! Yes, Dave; I’ve noticed, but 1 don’t believe—" “Sylvia! Sylvia! Come in now!” called her mother from the kitchen door. “Yes’m. Good-night, Dave. I'll tell you the rest next time!” With a tantalizing little laugh, she ran up the walk, and she, too, disappeared within the large, weather-beaten house whose shadow lay sharply defined in the moonlight. Left alone, David found himself vaguely disquieted by Delight’s change ful moods and by Sylvia’s half hints. The news his friend Roger Stedman had brought out from Boston also pressed as a burden on his heart. Could it be true, as his father had declared that very night at supper, that the.long-smoldering bit terness of feeling between royalists and colonists was about to break forth? What else could happen if this whispered plan of capturing the military stores at Con cord should be carried out? Was it with in belief that the people of Middlesex County would quietly allow such a thing to happen? He well knew that it was not. So long as the blood ran through the veing of one man of them, so long would active protest be made against injustice. Aye, and, perchance, so long as life lingered within the breast of one of the equally brave mothers and sisters. Surely so, it all were made of stuff like to little Syl via! He was keenly conscious of disap pointment that Delight’s image did not rise before him beside her sister’s as an embodiment of loyalty and courage. He tried to banish the painful thought before it had come into existence, foreing him self to believe that there must be some satisfactory explanation of her apparent coldness and indifference. Then came the awful realization of what this defense might mean. If worst came to the worst and the British opened hostilities, what a fearful change might be wrought in the quiet neighborhood, which hitherto had known only peace and prosperity! He started up and walk ed at a round pace along the road to Lex ington, trying to shake off the forebodings which oppressed him. As he passed a gateway, a quarter of a mile west of the Leland place, he saw a young man evi dently awaiting him. “Is it you, Roger?” he called, stopping. “Yes, Dave; I’ll walk a bit with you. I wish Desire had been willing to come home with me to-day. If anything should come of this proposed expedition talk— who knows how long she may be cooped up in Boston? Things are not going to stay as they are now very long, in any case, and I—l wish she was here at home with the rest.” “Did you ask her to come with you?” “Yes, when I saw her yesterday morn ing. She was to make up her mind and let me know when I called there in the afternoon, ready to come straight out here. But she was out, the black servant said, and there was no message left for me.”’ (To be continued.) CHURCH SALOONS.. England Possesses Severaly, and They Do a Thriving Business. Warwickshire, England, possesses the chief of 2o class of anomalies of which up-to-date America can exhibit no par. It is nothing more nor less than a minster of the gospel who open ly runs a public house. The Establish ed Church is far from being teetotal in its doectrines, as teetotalism, even } among the more rigorous of the sects, has never been popular in England. } The public house came into the posses sion of the parish of which Rev. Os ' bert Mordaunt, the gentleman in ques tion, was the rector, through the will of an eccentric old miser, who, perhaps, 'as much in irony as good faith, left it to the vestry in charge for the benefit of the poor of the parish. When this was made public the reverend gentle man consulted several temperance re formers, who, of course, advised him _to sell immediately. The majority of the vestry, however, were in favor of running the place on equitable terms, and devoting the proceeds to the pur pose prescribed. The result has been successful beyond expectation, an ap preciable income being each year de rived for clothing, coal, etc. The prin ciples are as follows: 1. The sale of pure.beer. 2. No profit whatever to an indi vidual. 3. No credit allowed. Since the success of this place several English ministers have taken out li censes on the same plan, agd in each instance are reaping a harvest for thelr parish poor. : Sir Henry Irving carries with him on his tours his own tea—a fine Chinese variety that comes in silk sacks.

The resolution fixing the date of final ad journment for April 14 was also laid over. The Assembly eoncurred in the Senate bills for the taxation of express, sleeping car, fast freight and equipment com panies. These measures were recom mended in the Governor’s message. After being Amended to maké the time three years instead of four the beet sugar boun ty was advanced to a third reading in As sembly. It provides a bounty of 1 cemt a pound on all beet sugar made in the State when $4 or more a ton is paid for the beets. The bill reorganizing the Wiscon sin National Guard on the regular army basis was passed. Wednesday morning the Orton bill for the taxation of life insurance cempanies went to third reading in the Assembly after a big debate, in which Judge Orton, its author, won a signal victory. The Harris bill taxing all ice shipped out of the State by non-residents 10 cents a ton was passed by the Senate. The bill pro viding for requiring railroads to make con nections at junctions was also passed. The day was a big appropriation day in the Senate. Bills granting nearly $250,- 000 additional to the usual appropriations went through on final passage. The larg est of these was for $151,000 for the uni versity, of which SIOO,OOO is to be devoted to a new building for the college of engi neering. Other big appropriations were one for $35,000 for a hospital and dormi tories at the Waupaca veterans’ home, doubling appropriations to high schools, $50,000; increase for teachers’ institutes, $4,000; transportation for fish car and employes, $3,000 annually; for library summer schools, $3,500 annually; for in vestigation with a view to introduce man ual training and agriculture into common schools, $3,000 annually for the next two vears. In the evening the Assembly pass ed a bill to take the appointment of the water registrar of Milwaukee out of the hands of the Mayor and put it in the hands of the Board of Public Works. The True marriage bill, requiring a li cense to be taken out five days before the ceremony is performed, was passed by the Assembly on Thursday. It is aimed to cut off all elopements to this State from Illinois and Minnesota. The Assembly also advanced to a third reading the beet sugar bounty bill, giving manufacturers of the product 1 cent a pound for three vears. The Roehr bill providing that all lobbyists shall be registered by the chief clerk of the Senate as legislative counsels or legislative agents was passed by the Senate. When the anti-pass bill came up in the Senate Senator Whitehead offered a substitute more sweeping in its provis ions than any of the former measures. Not only does it make it unlawful for State, county and city officials and em ployes to use passes, but it makes it a crime punishable by a prison sentence of from one to five years to use a pass in at tending a political convention. It makes a violation of the law bribery. The meas ure passed the Senate without debate. It is the result of a conference which report ed a constitutional amendment the same in substance. They both include candi dates for office in the pass prohibition. In the House on Wednesday the Colby primary election bill for Wayne County was defeated, temporarily at least, after it had passed the committee of the whole with only a few minor amendments. Rep resentative McLeod’s air brake bill came up before the Labor Committee again, and met with a good deal of opposition. It was the general argument that the pro visions of the bill would entail a useless expense, as the present brakes handle the cars without any trouble, except in De troit, where the cars run at double the speed of other cities. No decision was reached by the committee. Representa tive Anderson won a victory in the House when he succeeded in getting through his bill giving the bodies of pauper dead in Kent County to the Grand Rapids Med ical College, notwithstanding that the charaecter of the institution was attacked. The bill just got the necessary 51 votes.

The first map of the mines was made in 1638 by Martin German, a Swedish mine surveyor. The eight shafts now in existence are from 207 to 985 feet deep. and the length of the levels now open is 345,000 feet, with 115,500 feet of underground tram lines. Between 1772 and 1892 about three million cubic yards have been exea vated for the extraction of salt. Ma chine drills are now used and com pressed powder is employed in blast ing; about 1,187 pounds of powder are used per ton of salt produced. The present levels are seven and one-guar ter feet high by six and ene-guarter feet wide. - Kipting®s Good Luck. The first story that Kipling writes after his illness will bring a fabulous price.
