It must bo nn uncanny sensation to look within your breast nnd see the pulsation of your own heart , yet this has been the ex perience of Officer Charles W. Whitney , one of the brave men In blue who was Injured ton years ago during the Chicago Haymarket riots , says the Chicago News. Whitney's chest was torn open by the explosion of a bomb , and as he lay In the hospital bed he saw , with the aid of a hand- mirror , his own throbbing heart. What Is still moro marvelous , he recovered and la today doing a man's work and commands ? 110 a year more than an able-bodied police man traveling a beat. May 4 , 1S8G , was a bloody night In Chicago cage history. Ono hund ri and seventy members of the police force marched from the Desplalnes street station. They had Leen held there for several days , anticipating a crisis , and at 10:30 : o'clock thei order to "fall In lino" was given. If the big fel lows felt a thrill of fear as they preparoJ to face the danger that threatened a great city , there was no manifestation of It as , shoulder to shoulder , they hurried swiftly to the scene of the disturbance. The whole world thrilled with the horror that followed ; their Ineffectual effort to disperse the mob of frenzied anarchists. The throwIng - Ing of the bomb left over sixty ofllcers lying In a heap In Haymarket square. One , man died within an hour , two other men were hopelessly crippled by having their legs blown off ; others of them were cruelly maimed , and fourteen ot thorn are now dead. But , of all men , Officer Whitney stood the slightest possible chance of life. His breast was frightfully mutilated and bits of exploded bomb were Imbedded perilously near the vital organs. He was taken to the 1-ospltal , and , after the necessary probing the wound was sewed up. Just before taking the stitches , Dr. J. n. Murphy Inquired : "My brave boy , do you want to- sea what no man ever saw before ? " "Yes ! What Is It ? " asked the officer , feebly. "Your own heart ! " He handed his patient a mirror and Officer Whitney saw hla own heart. He now affirms that the statements of novelists are misleadIng - Ing ; that the heart Is not a movable organ , lor it neither leaps Into the throat nor descends - scends Into the boots. In fact. It does not Indulge In any of the acrobatic feats gen erally ascribed to It by Imaginative writers , | but ho frankly acknowledges that ho Is Incapable - capable of expressing his sensation as ho watched the oscillation of his heart. Within a month he was able to return home and was supposed to bo on the road to ' recovery. Later ho suffered a violent re lapse. and after weeks of unparalleled sufferIng - Ing Dr. Murphy decided to resort to one of the most hazardous operations known to scientific surgery In the li'story of surgical Jurisprudence In the country. It was the third tlmo It had over been undertaken , the former ca 3s having proved fatal. A careful examination Indicated that a piece of the bomb casing penetrated the breast bone , passing about midway between the second and third ribs , and was located nbout one- eighth of nn Inch from the pericardium , LIke a magnet coquetting with a bit of metal , every throb of the heart brought the piece of shell nearer , until the piercing of the organ was .Inevitable. The operation was set for Friday , Novem ber 0 , 18SO. Relatives and friends protested , and , this coming to the- cars of the Injured man , he said : "I am going to make n test case of this nnd reo If there Is anything wrong with Friday ! " The eventful morning came. Up to this tlmo Officer Whitney had been exceptionally hopeful and cheery. "I never realized that I could die until Just as I was getting under the Influence of ether. There were fourteen doctors In the room nnd among them was an old family phyylclan who attended mo during my In- fancy. Heforo the anaesthetic took effect one of the physicians began -shaving the hair off my chesl. A sudden hcrror seized me and In my dazed condition I imagined It was a fight for Ilfo. I. who had been so weak that I could scarcely ralso my head , suddenly clinched my list and struck the- man who was doing the toneorlal act a terrific blow. kicked another M. D. In the stomach and another In the chest. Why , I fought like n madman and It took eleven men to hold mo whllo I was getting under the Influence of the drug " The old wound was completely healed , hut the flesh was laid open and Dr , Murphy pro ceeded to bore a halo through the officer's breast bono , very much as a skillful carpen ter uses an auger dn a hardwood stick , The Instrument need was a trephine , suitable for making a hole five-eighths of an Inch In diameter. It took eighty mlnutns to cut through the breast bono , wjilcli at this point nearly an Inch In tblcknc'u ? . The delicate operation was a succor , for at the foot of this tiny tunnel lay the piece of bomb , which was easily plucked out with " pair of tweezers. It was cone-shaped , and composed of almost equal parts of copper , zlno and lead , and was ensconced in the . It outer fatty qcatlng ot the heart. u It was over a year before the new wound healed , and during tbo tlmo Whitney wore rubber dralnago tube. Out It was several years before bo was able to do any manual I work. Meanwhile ho watched the anarchists1t trial , kept In touch with Ills comrades at the tl station , and was detailed ( or light service. tlb tlP Then for thrco years be drove a patrol wagon , P and afterward served au a messenger on the In free. For a couple of years bo was detailed at pt ( the Goodrich school , and two years ago ho n was appointed at the Carter Harriott ! public ne bath , where his star awes unruly bathers , e largo and email. Ho draws a regular salary li for this service , and as long as ho lives he will bave a pension. It's Just as easy to try One Mlnuto Cough Cure as anything else.

Doing the 'trtic Account , Written by Himself , of the Ailvcn- tutje'nf ' , Sergeant Major John Clnunpc of 1 iMnjor Henry Lee's , I 1 I , I 11Y CI.1XTO.V HO S. . f t ? l Bl Sl I remember my man' Ivas smug-faced , ap pearing to all the world , the reputable citi zen , round , fnt , n most politic and noncommittal mittal follow , nnd I wondered whether I might J not have gone wrong. Hut the direc tion was phln , "Philip Ilolantl , Merchant , 6 Pearl street , hack of Kraunces' tavern , " arid hero was tbo man In his shop , looking nt mo narrowly over the gold rims of his spec tacles. The Guards' band was pUylnR on the IloWlIng Ojeen , for , though November It was n warmish yidlan summer evcnlne , while no gloated over the letter , regarding mo ever and anon In the dim light of the lantern that stood on the counter. Horts a dealer In women's gewgaws , and esteemed as good an American as any man Ih Now York. I had hoard , Indeed , BO much to this effect that now I was1 uneasy to think per haps I had put my neck In the noose , Had not the general been mistaken In the man ? Why did he pattso so long ? I moved ncrv- oliyly , uhllo bcforo the \\lndow paswed some people returning from the play at the Theater Royal on John street. The noyallst dandles baa refitted that lit tle red theater , closed by congress with a vlow to Improving tlfo public morals , and plays had been written for It by Major John Andre. I shuddered as I thought of hint , for It was not so long since the scene at Tappan , and , for all I had experienced In the last days , causing mo to regret my mission , my softne3 hardened at that name. As It hap pened , as If to emphasize the thought , a link boy passed just then before Mistress Sus- oannah Ho Ltncey and Major Williams of the artillery , who had been Andre's Intimate. My vla-a-vls noted my uneasiness out of his cunning eves. "There bo spies , and spies , " said he. "But you , sir , surprise me. There lay every reason why you should return to the cause , and yet jou rlk your neck apparently as merrily ai as a boy after a bird's nest. " "Eh , yes , " said I , .gathering heart at his voice.

" > I was sure of him now , this person no one suspected , but -who waa one of those agents by whom Washington was kept conversant with occurrences in New York. I relied implicitly on the other man , Hawkins , who was a hostler at "Fraunces1 Tavern , " for ho had proven his honesty by seeing that my letter had reached the geneial. telling him exactly who had been Implicated with Arnold in that damnable plot ; and now all that was left of the mission was to catch the traitor. , . This was my fifth evening In guise of American deserter and king's man ; and It , I said , should not pass without mo putting my hands on him for whoso wretched avarice Andre had suffered. Yet as I strode about the street corner past one. of Mayor Matthew's watch. I sick ened of the attempt for the 'hundredth time. I thouEht of how much they had left mo to do , how great a sacrifice of good name I already had made , and how little w.t I , In deed , had to redeem It. Before the ruins ot Trinity church , stand- Inc out sepulchrally In the darkest Novem ber night. I went In to sit on one of the benches that had been built there at Genera Paulson's suggestion , shortly after the great flre ; for the Ilrltlsh policy was to gain nvor by making tha town life agreeable for tno who could be cauRlit by Pleasure. There In the daik I r-n over the whole un promising Phases of the enterprise ; how five days before my commandant , Major Lee. had summoned mo to tell me that the general had asked him for a man who would dare risk everything to gain Information of how the Arnold plot ran and of those. . Implicated ; one who would even dare kidnap the traitor In ie very enjoyment of his safety. The man who so dared must uppjar to desert from Tappan. This was asking much ; my honor among my comiades and the ilsK of a ypy's death from the Brltlih ; and yet , joung fool of 23 that I was. 1 accepted. f can see that low room now , In the DeWItt house In Tappan , the general's anxious face , Major Harry's bold eyes. , , , , , ths picket line I turned my mare through and gave her free head when tbo patiol chal lenged , dashing over the moist roads , for , as bad luck would have It , the rain had blotted out the ruts , leaving the mare's footprints patent to the pursuers , for the farrier put the same mark on the left forward shoo of all Major Lee's horses. For th moment , I bslleve. they hesitated dumbfounded that EO faithful a culdler as I should suddenly Imitate Arnold. In all the d'saffectlon ' ttiero never had been a desertion from that corps. Who can U ? trusted ? I could fancy them muttering. I knew that Major Lea would delay them all he could. But he , too , must carry out the play. He , too , must appear attouiiiled tint I. who al ways had proven faithful , should all at once bccomo among the mo'aA faithless. I thought all this while the anare bore me over tno road toward UergerM fop I designed to- hall the king's patrols at Iulu9 Hook. But with all the. diy I had but little the start. Soon I heard jfhyin after n e , and , the mare afmost spent. jTh ? sky lightened. Tlij mare seemed to be BWIS oven slower , pnd I knew as I came ta too forks on the hill , which Is by tiie 'THree Pigeon * " lnnr above Ilergen , that they probably would catch me before I could makq ti . stone- bridge below. .

At the forks , wltlml'a stone's throw of the "Three Pigeons , " tot a'moment I deliberated. Should I have myt refutation all lost for nothing ?

Just then the pursuers perceived my detour and a bullet canio elnglng around my oars. I pushed ou ( beyond my depth and the men I the boat , comprehending the situation , pulled me In , firing and shouting derisively my old cqmrades , whose . .quraes reached me. me.I I was taken to Sir Henry Clinton , who , examining : mo closely , ended by believing my sincerity , ai In faith the desertion was plain enough , and that one ( ram Major Lee's corps. AB we had thought would be the caie , ho recommended mo aa an honest fellow to Geperal Arnold , who , too , bad run to the king's side. I could detect a certain detesta tion In Sir Henry's tone when be upoUe of Arrold , uho had received his 10,000 and his tirlsadlershlp as the price of bis service , who yet was all cerely disliked , more because the affair hail cost the army Major Andre , 1 believe , than for any other reason. I reported that morning to the now Ilrltlsh btevet brigadier , at 3 Broadway , In the old ball rooms over "Hums' Arms. " I do not know what I had expected ot the man. I had heard so much to his dis credit. I saw simply an agreeably mannered gentleman , who questioned mo closely , and In the end believed that I had been persuaded by his example. Strangely , too , he rented of n widow , Mistress Warren , whoso daughter , Prisellla Warren , I once had made furious love to In Virginia. A plump , falr-halrod , gray-eyed girl , Mistress 1'rlscllla's greeting , her con gratulations to mo at having come over from rebellion to lojalty , made me for a moment sicken again of the false ptrt. I must explain this to show how that which followed came about. Nor did Bene dict Arnold fall to treat mo w'lth further ccfsldcratlon. Ho promised to obtain mo a commission In a legion of American loyalists In tlmo to join the expedition Lord Howe was then preparing to send to Uio Virginia capes. In the meantime , other decent lodg ing being hard to flml , ho had permitted mete to take a room at the Widow Warren's. In fact all had gone exactly as tho. plan had been laiJ. I bad communicated , as I have said , with General Washington , show ing him , as I had It from Arnold himself , who appeared to trust mo Implicitly , the full extent of the treachery , nnd the names of the few persons In any way Implicated. I have been told that this information nrst Knve the general-ln-chlcf heart to belte\e tbero remained those ho could trust , ami that the major general ho suspected was after nil not in the affair. And now the rest was all plain. Arnold would stroll In the gmlen to quiet his nerves before bed. My desperate- fellow would hide behind the loosed paling , 1 could bo sure , nt the appointed hour. I was now equally sute of Master Roland having the boat in readi- iioss at the foot of the lane. Yet , as I thought of U nil , I felt dismayed. I looked up to the ruined tow OP of Trinity , almost praying to keep my couraso warm. I de cided to tnko a tankard of beer at the tavern. The night was dark enough , nnd now began a cold drlz7lo. Long since the Guards' band had stopped on the green. What could be hotter than such a ulqht , made for the ad venture ? At last the clock ticked near the tlmo when General Arnold would defend for bin stroll In the garden. Even now I knew my man Hawkins was waiting In the lane. I paid my reckoning ? and turned for a moment Into the street. The mist was clearing. Certainly General Arnold would take that walk to got some air before sleep. But If ho kept to his usual custom It lacked a half hour of tue time. To avoid pc stblo suspicion I turned into the tavern and up the stairs to my room. I In tended to follow the general by the back stair. It all would bo easy should he once go Into the garden. But at the head of the stairs stood my ac quaintance , Mistress Prisellla Warren , of whoso mother General Arnold rented. She held a candle , as If expectantly , and I an. bound to say she made a pretty picture at the stair head. I recollected how jears be fore In Virginia I once had made furious love to this very girl. "Jack ! Jack Champo ! " "Eh , Prisellla. And why , mistress , are you not In bed ? " "Tho truth Is , " said she , blushing , "I've been thinking nnd pondering. " "Of a lover ? " paid I , trying to phrasa some pleasing , nonsensical gallantry. "Not I , sir , of no man , but of you. " "Of me , Prisellla ? " "Ah , of you , who have made the whole town bellevo In you ; but me not a whit. " "And why ? " said I , growing Impatient , for I heard General Arnold's step. "I must speik to the general , begging your pardon. " "Why ? " she asked , putting the candle close to my face. "Liar , you are not what you seem ! " Her voice had changed so sud denly that I lost my wit. "Prisellla ? " "You never deserted General Washington. " "Mistress Prisellla ? " "You are here a spy to betray General Arnold. " "Ah , mistress , but he Is worse , " said I with ruddon earnestness. "He has tieatcd ycu kindly , John Champo. " "You have the fancy of a silly maid ! " cried I. "Let mo go. I must follow General Ar nold into the garden. " Again she raised the candle a bit. From belo.v was the fiddler's merry Jig. "Why ? " I trembled under those gray , questioning eyes , ahd she read my plot as easily as If I had told her. It all had gone well up to this moment. My man was behind tbo paling. The baat waited. Colonel Leo across the river expecteJ us. And here this slip cf a girl had 'n some way found the Intention. "I will explain later. Now " I She put the candle on the table. "I will go with you Into the garden , " "And why , unasked ? " said I , trying to treat the matter lightly. At this she pulled from her bosom a letter In Major Harry's own hand , with the damrv- Ing evidence. She had mo In her power ns neatly as she could wish. I had droppej It somewhere In the house. Curbing my care- lenness , I remember I snatched at It , when she tlmist It behind her. "Spy , " eho said , ns If I were less than the boards under her feet. "And he ? " said I , d-ggedly. "But does It lessen your blackness , coward' You who return to your old friends pretend ing jou are converted to the old opinions , only to spy ? " "Gl\o mo up , then , " said I at last , de fiantly. "Give me up. " "I will not tell n roul , " raid the girl nt this. "How could It profit you ? " asked I , trying to pacify her. "Nor shall I let you hurt a hair of General Arnold's head neither ono nor the other. " She stooi there , her hands thrust behind " her. Suddenly the fiddler below paused In his air and left UB In silence. I must not let the pretty llttlo fool thwart mo when I had rlskoJ so much. No , she should net. The general was walking In the gaiden ; my nun Hawkins was breathing hard behind the paling , waiting the signal , Uvery moment was dear. "Ho may bo a traitor , but ho has been kind to my mother and to me , " she went on. ( "You phall not hurt him , I declare. If he be traltpr , was ho not before ono to' ' the king ? Consider that. " I did not answer , revolving the problem how t9 get her out of the way , cursing my bad luck Indeed In having dropped the luckless - loss letter I should have burnc,1. "And why , " she went on , taking a step nearer , "should you , Jack Champe , take fur ther risk ? You are back , without odium , In " the king's service. You have but to forget your purpose , which was traitorous to the king. ( You have before you a finer career than the rebels can offer. " And whllo wo disputed by the candlelight Jem Hawkins behind the paling was wonderIng - of Ing at the lack of the signal. ' 'I am pledged to Washington , I am with thp United States , " said I , deliberating how- to bo rid of her , "And you ore here as a spy ? " she orled again , her gray eyes flashing. Tor nil's fair In war , " tald I , watching her that I might spring past. "And In love , " raid she , blushing , thought , and wondered suddenly If she loved not ll'-ne- diet Arnold , whom I began to halo wltti sud den fierceness. "But wait , " oald I , "Mlstroas Prlscllh. have a word to Bay to the general now In the garden. Surely them can He no harm that ? " "Ah , I know you , " she answered at this defiantly , "You have some design. i'll accompany you. " ho By this time J was maddened. Havj I int said how much every moment counted T A bold move would accomplish it Mill , I was not to be foiled by this hussy. Bp I pushed her aside , went through 11.0 ai iloor Into the back hall , and djivii ilio wU'jij leading Into the garden. There he wa , pacing rcotlektly to nnd Fro. Ah , the man never hid a ijutet moment between hla plots and bis remoua. For I bellevo he bad them. Jem iiawl'.lufi. I VTJI certain , was waiting. I could carry It out ret. ret.Hut Hut the girl wan behind mo , like ft dog. I was sorry for a moment I had not throttled her. "General Arnold ! " she called from the foot of the stairs. "General Arnold ! " IJefore I could get to him , ho walked too far toward the house , In an Instant ho wn.t by her. I saw she whhpercd something to him. Was It my betrayal ? For n moment I hesitated. I still could run for It ; but should I escape , which was doubtful , It would bo without my prisoner. Par the mcmcnt flho had foiled me. I must brazen It out , deny her charge. So I returned to the upper hall where they wore talking. She looked at me , not tri umphantly. I was surprised how pale ho was , "Sergeant Champo wished n word with you , sir. " she told , without facing mo. How could I explain ? I thought nt once of smo story connected with the duty ho had given me. lut ! he anticipated me , snj Ing : "I am tco weary tonight. Walt till morning. You will receive your regular duty then. Good night. " Ho extended his hand gravely , as If treachery had made us equals , and walked to his room. Outside , perhaps , Hawkins still waited. Hut the chance was losjt for the night. The girl had outwitted me. Why- had I not killed her ? As he left us alone she understood my rage , for she said quietly , "I did It to save you. " "You have not told him ? " "Not a word ; jou can still servo with the "Fool ! " I muttered , as people do when only they are the fools. I hoard her sobs and hurried from her , feirftil that she might tempt mo to , Nor could I sleep. I dared not send word to Hawkins , or to the boatman at the end of the lane. Across the river nt Hobock Colonel Harry Waited vainly. Decani * ) of this girl I was still held n traitor by my comrades. AnJ It appeared , Indeed , as If they must so regard mo till the end of the chapter. For as I tossed restlessly , whllo It was yet pitch dark , there was a knock nt the door nnd the orderly shouting : "Up , ser geant. In a hurry. You have duty. The general's expedition pulls anchor at G for the Virginian capes ! " I saw beyond pcradventure then that I had failed dismally. I should hnve no other chance nt my man now , whllo If I wished to avoid the spy's death I must keep up appearance and nerve as a British soldier. Outside In the ball was the girl , her oycs red by the candlelight. "Forgive me ! " said she. When I was silent she added , "I did It for jou. " "For him ! " "For you ! To save you for the cause. " "Faugh , " said I ; "I desplso jou for a meddling hussy. " Yet I thought afterward she Indeed had not betrayed me. That was certain. I won dered what was the reason , dismayed over the turn of the adventure. For hero was I , now bound for Virginia , as earnest a patriot as ever served In the war , but. In the uniform of an English soldier , and commanded by the very Arnold whom I had come to take. In addition the weather turned dirty , and I suffered the worst torments the sea can Inflict on those so Indiscreet as to trust to Its fickleness. Let them bo sallora who will , I would be content to bo the humblest land lubber rather than to own all the fame of the most esteemed admiral. / I remember It was a week after we had made a landing before I recovered my heart and was In some way able to debate the 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 , the chance never presented Itself. I could not hope to abduct General Arnold with now no man , whom I dared trust with oven a hint of my true mission of epy. How quickly J should be worsted. Strangely , I did In my false position singu larly good service. I was commended again and again when least of all did I want praise for a part I detested. That old saying of the mockery In the way of the world came , to me In those days : "When you may bo Indifferent to success , lo ! It comes to you. " As a matter of fact , we remained In this In action some three months till we joined Lord Cornwallls nt Petersburg. I then was de tailed to go with a division InstructeJ to in tercept some , reported foragers sent out by Major Harry Lee ! J strained my earo as I heard. I was arrayed against Major Harry , v\hom I loved If I ever loved a man , both for being most considerate of his Inferiors , and always die dareievll leader. I laughed as I thought of It ; 1 against Major Harry ! Yet It was not so comical an affair In very earnest. Here In Virginia I was known. Ono day an old woman who had heard my history spat at me. I could not blame her. Hut two persons I hated. Benedict Arnold and the meddling hutuy. I thought I might kill him , and so , although I should certainly b rnanged. I should be lauded by my old comrades as a hero after all these days of apparently deserved contempt. And yet I could not find courage for this. He had treated mo from the nrst most con siderately. I could not stab , or shoot behind his back. My Insti notions , In fact , had been to bring him In alive , not dead. I thought , perhaps , of the meddling hussy at the stair head. She had foiled me , but , In some curious way , tlie. equally had made H Impossible for me to kill the man , had I the chance. With all these conflicting notions , In the serv'ce where I appeared what I was not , what more natural than that I should In the end try a foolhardy cicapo to the old lines had deserted. It happened one evening at a point near the Carolinian line v/.ien on that expedition I have described. I broke away much as I had at Tappan ; but this time knowing the countiy better than my puruucr * , I managed to elude them with less danger to my skin. As I was now walking my horse In the direction of the Congaro ? , where- supp3so3 Major Harry to have been , I stumbled directly on one of his pickets. The man brought me ln > covering me with' his musket. And then tnuldenly 'as recognized me. "Sorgeant Major Chimp ? , the deserter ! " ho cried , nt first Incredulously , and again exultantly. "God , what a bird I have brought down ! " Others by this tlmo had gathered ; and then an efllcer , before whom a black carried a lantern , approached over the half-frozen ground. It was early March. "Major Lee ! " I raid weakly , for by some chance I had fallen In with no less a person age. "Miijor Lee ! " ( Ho was then llcutonint colonel cf the dragoons , though always "Major" to me , ) "Where nro you ? " ho began ; nnd then , . leaping from his horse , he cried , taking my to hands In bin : "Champo ! " : "Champo who failed ! " I nodded shame faced. The men stood about astonished. For was I not a deserter ? The major know their thoughtt1. r. "Sorgeant Major John Champe Is this gen- . . Ionian , who , llko Captain Hale , to ecrvo his j , country took on the dlrgulbo of a spy among n the British. " sc When biiddenly through that little detach ment of my old comrades a cheer went up , and I bollevo that , after all I had Imagined and suffered , this scene in the Carolinian A u-.vanip was the happiest of my life , "Dut how did you fal. ( man ? " the major asked , when we rode to his main division , "I really believed you would carry H out. Wo waited at Hobnck until too late for any possible hope of your appearance , " "Uccause of a meddling hutuy , " I said , my heart bitter against her. ; " \ wench , Champe ? I thought not that j'ou. " "Bli , but you nitwt , " paid I ; and I told him the story. a "It Is Mrangc , " raid ho , musingly , "why slm didn't betray you. I can't understand It tr unltistv " p ' Unl'JM !

I bad left after Iho false n part I had played , "I'oor Champe , " eald he. "How badly have we treated you ! Liut after all you have done I will not suffer you lo risk a hftlr , " he repeated. When I was Insistent ho cald firmly that ho had no option , but would refer the matter to General Washington , to whom directly I was despatched by General Greeno. I confess I was anxious when I came Into the urosenco of that Virginia gentleman , who nov had become the greatest among the Americans. "You did us n signal scrvlco , Captain Chnmpe , " ho said klndlj"In letting mo know the extent of Arnold's treachery when I was uncertain of every ono about mo , and It must appear ungrncloun of mo to tell jou that out of regard for you nnd your most excellently good sen-Ice I must retire you but as a captain , with n full captain's paj- . " I did not want retirement. I cared not for the new grade , nor the money , though It wa a scarce enough commodity In these days. Hut the gener.il was Insistent. And In this way I ceased to be an active member of the Army of the United Slates. In my forced retirement I was ndxanced In rank , yet a captain without hope of further serv ice , at loist against the Ilrltlsh , whom t dearly wanted to fight In some capacity n captain without a company. Now about this tlmo I had n slraiigo letter brought through the Hues from Now York , and written by no less a person than she who li.nl spoiled my enterprise , Mistress 1'rlscllla Warren. She begged mo never to give the British the chancn of catching mo , for , as Eiiroly as her name was Prlscllla , they would hang mo up as a spy. I wrnto her I had been told that several times , but I feared the British no more than I did meddling lory maids. The hussy's Impudence was strango. But for her meddling 1 certainly had had my plan to Bclza Gcnural ArnolJ carried out. As It was , because General Washington was Insistent on my retirement , and as I had fal'ctl most dismally In this attempt , I had not Its success to console mo for tha loss of the soldier's career I loved. I had staked nil , llko a gambler , on one Issua and lost. But I could not get the meddling girl out of my mind , and , thinking over the matter and considering that perhaps after all she had Imagined it for my good as possibly It would lia\o been from a worldly point at view to have remained , what I seemed then , a llrltlbh soldier thinking of the possibility of Major Leo's conjecture about the reason for her cutlous conduct , I resolved to sou her again , But It was not until after the peace that I had the chance , when , hcnrlns eho remained a spinster , I decided to leave Kentucky , whcro I had taken up some land , to see what manner of woman she had become. I must acknowledge In the few years she had faded , and yet I found her strangely at tractive. She appeared embarrassed nt see ing me. "You must detest mo nbovo all the rest of the worlJ , " said she. "I did , " said I. frankly. "You did ? " asked she. "I don't knew , Mistress Prlscllla , for I bc- llovo you honestly Imagined by meddling you could keep me a king's man. In the event It might have been better. I might have been richer. " "Yes , " said sho. "I th'nk I even was right. Jack Champe. " "I am not accustomed , Mistress Prlscllla , to women who will tnko the trouble you did to set a man right , although It was , from the point of honT , a wrong course , which I could not adopt. I believe you thought it for my good. " "There bo many women who would have done PO much , " said sho. But I was flrmly persuaded there was and Is but one , and holding this persuasion and believing that new she might have mo , al though before , when a boy , I had made violent lent love to her In Virginia , she had jilted me believing that being a spinster now rather well along , she might not refuse mo , although , In faith , I had little enough money , I was persuaded to ask her to marry mo. "Me , Captain Champe ! Are you not crazy ? " said she , demurely , at this modest request of mine. "Net I , Mistress Prlscllla. I have a neat enough wit left to 1-now the mateil.il for a good wife. " "Oh , but captain , I'm so old and ugly. Why did you not ask mo when I was young ? " "I did , when wo were both young , years since. In Virginia. " "Oh , I forsot , " said sho. "I tried then , but you jilted mo ; have you forgot ? I supposed a woman never forgot who she jilts. " "Oh , do you , captain ? Or who " "Or who , mlEtresj ? " "Or who she loves ? " "Oh , then , " raid I , "I might as well return to Kentucky , for I see the jig Is up. " "Is It ? " mid she. "I believe I even will go ; with you , captain. " "Are. jou Jolting again , aa you did when a girl In Virginia ? " asked I , doubting her. "Eh , jesting , Captain Champo , ao a spinster may who catches at perhaps her last and , In- 3cod , I bcllnve , her best chance. " I confess the outcome of the matter was most curious , for during those days I was tossing on the sea on the Journey to thp Virginian cap s , I' should have held him aa mad aa the maddest March hare who had told mo I should try to marry this meddling liussy to gain peace of mind. J But If the ways of God bo btrange that way of Ills which Is called woman's l the strangest. If any ono wore to blame for this termination of the affair of the meddling liussy , mirely it was none other than Major Lee , who had first suggested to mo nn ap parently Impossible reason for her conduct when she spoiled all my piano for catching the traitor. From regarding the reason all Impossible , I b'gan to question If after all there might bo some ground for holding It possible. The ftep from supposition to ex periment lo net a Inngi one , as Mr. Franklin lilmwlf has attested. Yet I must confess I thought I was only a silly , imaginative fool tor my pains , till her words showed that , ptrange as It may appear , Major Leo had understood her without over having seen her. her.Nor In the end , although I have blamed her In all this account for having spoiled for mo the outcome of n good adventure , was I so unfortunate as I had suppoH d Kor If I did lose chance of further distinction as n Eoldler through following out the plan Gen eral Washington proposed to me , I learned In the end by this very adventure that a woman who takes enough Interest In you to meddle with your matters , oven to the point of turning them all topsy turvy , may make , Tor the very reason of that Interest , not so jad a wife.
