UK sound of horses'

Ue turned suddiiily from the avenue
and struck off toward a donae iortion of
the wood, tie had gone a half mile or
mi whwn, all of a sudilen, , he stpM-d,
threw Imck his head and gave the hoot of
an owl. It was answered. Without fur

came nan what seemed to Im a camp of
soldiers, or rather, what had Imvii, for
the HoliHers themselves Inn (risniiixflred,

them no older than the rider. 1 Like him,

"Gone for a lnniah with tho Hritishersf"
wss tlie quick reply, "'lliey were sent
for hy Marlon. He is In a tight place and
wants them to help him out of it. They
just left us to care for the camp and the
things they couldn't carry."
"Well, this Is a go! I mean," he ad'ted
quickly, "liecaiiHc the nun are not here.
Hoys,'' he continued, excitedly, "don't "top
to eat. (let your home at once and your
fun, ami come will) me, for if we don't

going to hang him for his disloyalty, so
they say. But there are many who know
it i because the colonel won't teU where
the family plate and odier treasure are
hidden. Boys, mount quickly. We will
station ourselves along the rofld, and we
must rescue the colonel. There is no one
else, and he will lie murdered if we don't
get him."
"But, .Teth, what can a handful of hoye
like us do?" aeked Arthur Wallace, douht
fully. "We have one to three," declared Jethro
boldly. "Didn't Marion whip out that
squad of Britishers up on the Snntee-kust
week when he hadn't even one to ten?"
' "Yes, but we are not Marion."
11E CAUGHT THE HOUSE BY THE BRIDLE."
"But we are Marion's men!" declared
Jethro, proudly, the hre of tuanlioKl in his
eyes.
The words acted like a trunit call.
Each joittig soldier buckled on his pistol,
seized his rifle and sprung to his horse,
ahiMifiiig: "Marlon's men! ,Ve are Ma
rion's men!"
It was agreed that they were to divide
themselves into .two squad. One squad
was to take up its' jKtsition in a small
thicket of pines, about an eighth of a
mile from tihe scene of execution. The
other squad was to be ooiK-ealed in a sim
ilar thicket of scrub oak and myrtle, with
in "JS)or.'MM) yartls of the first. Wheu the
soldiers from the fort, carrying the oid
colonel to execution, were midway be
tween the two suad the attack was to
be made, They had not more than taken
their plaices when She procession from (lie
fort was seen approaching.
There were twenty soldiers. Eight were
walking, four abreast, in front, the same
number behind, while in the center was
the colonel with two soldiers on either
side of him. These five were on horse
back. The oid man's h.t was off. It had
fallen, and the soldiers would not stop
to pick It np. He rode with head erect,
the strilight gleaming down nixui bis sil
vered locks. Ills hands were tied behind
his back, but he held himself proudly up.
Ue looked what he was, every inch a
courtly gentleman.
Suddenly the hoot of an owl rnn out.
It was answered hy another. 'Die second
had barely died away when there was a
quick report of firearms, then the clang
of sobers, while lst4T above the din came
the cry of "Marion! Marion! Mnrion!"
The soldiers were at once thrown into
condition. It seemed to them that they
were IxHng dosed In by the enemy, and
beyond a doubt by Marion's whole army,
for were not those cries of "Marion! Mn
rion! Marion!" resounding on all sides?
The tight men In the rear were the first
to break ranks and lice. By milking n
hasty detour of the wood to the right of
them they might yet reach the fort in
safety. The eight in front, seeing their
ranks thus weakened and hearing the
noises of the combined attacks increasing
moment by moment, also lost heart s
well as courage and turned in pursuit of
their companions. K
Only the four about Col. Itutledge seem
ed determined to remain. They now cloe
ed around their prisoner and for a mo
ment or so showed stubborn fight. Btit

tion, ,'t was more than even their nerve
could stand. Wheeling their horses. they;
too, joined in the flight. Jerhro was the
first to reach Col. Rutledge.
"Why, boys," he said, "I was like the
Britishers I thought it was Marion."
"But we are Marion's men, colonel,"
said Jethro, proudly. "I'm glad you think
we have done credit to our commander."
'That you have, boys; bice's you. And,"
he added, softly, "I feel sure now that this
old country of ours is going to be saved,
when even the boys show such spirit."
The colonel didn't have to live long to
find tine fulfillment of his prophecy, nor
was that the first or the last deed of cour
age performed by these brave boy sol-

Wholesome Cooking.
Cooking is in reality a partial di
gestion of food" preTious to its intro
duction into the stoniach. It Is em
ployed by Euan alone, and distin
guishes hira from all other creatures.
Many articles used as food are en
tirely indigestible in a raw state.
Some of the most nourishinK of them
are actually harmful if eaten un
cooked. Cooking, to be esteemed a science,
must be performed In such a way as
to render the raw products of the
earth as easily d jtested as poss ble.
By virtue of such preparation the
system is supplied with the greatest
amount of nourishment for the leait
expeuditure of vita energy in the
various proces-.es of the d Restive
chemistry.
But good cooking must not only
render food digestible; it must maue
it at the same time palatable. Every
physician recognizes the necessity of
furnishing a convalescing patient
with food that "tastes good " In
deed, he will often allow himself to
be overruled by the wish of the pa
tient foi' some particular article of
food, in the hope that the tickle ap
petite may ttius be stimulated, and a
steady demand for food Induced.
Cooking at its best, therefore, s
both scientific and artistic; scientific
when it best serves the purpose of
economy; artistic when, by virtue of
an added taste fulness it stimulates
the digestive processes to activity.
It must always be remembered that
the stomach is not a machine, but an
srgan extremely sensitive to every
nervous influence, so that the taste
tulness of food is a d rect aid to its
digestion.
Those who, from the necessity of
their occupation, are sedentary and
lonflned to the house, are more sen
i tive to the e:.ects of cooking
wholesome or otherwise than those
whose employment takes them out
aoors.
The degree of health enjoyed by
the family may often be credited to
the intelligent interest exercised in
the kitchen in favor tt good, whole
iome lood, aud it is jot too much to
say that an accompl shed co k may
iustly be proud of an art which so
slo-iely atlects the health and well
being of the household. Youth's

" For three years I had suffered with inflamma
tion of the left ovary, which caused dreadful pains.
I was so badly affected that I had to sleep with
pillows under my side, and then the pain was so
great it was impossible to rest.
" Every month I was in bed for two or three days,
t took seven bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound, and am entirely cured. Ithink
there is no medicine to be compared with the Com
pound for female diseases. Every woman who suffers from any form of fesnalt
weakness should try it at once." Miss Agnes Tracy, Box 432, Valley City, N. D.
