When the Irltsh army IUHler Sir Henry .
Clinton held poesessia ot New York during ) I.
the war of ( the revolution . the tljcent ( region
was O\'errun by'he red coat soldisry .
The bol ) riders of ( the British arlY p1mm-
dered the Inhabiants without mercy , mind
more than once got the worst ot Lt for their
depredations.
For timirty miles along the Ihllon hay a
narrow strip of territory which was called
the neutral KrOunl. As I was situated I
between the two armies , It naturally bec.mt
the great foraging distrIct for lawless bands ,
and its people were all the tme In a state
of ( terror.
'he patriots ot that regIon dn'adeo the
very sight of a red ) coat , for the ) ' knew that
they were to be plundered mind subjected to
a good deal of annoyance during the occu-
Ilancy ot New York city by the valiant Sir

Amons the British troQpers of ( the period
was one very tall In stature , and a giant
among his fellow comnratles , lIe \as noted
for his courage and oftentimes would set
oul on a little raid ot his own , Lu which in-
curslons he was enerall' stmccessttml
BIg Glleon , as this son ot Anak was called ,
looked Imposing In a dragoon's unlformmm anll
he took care to have It very clean and neat
whenever he rode out.
A rumor that Big Gideon was to make a
raid was always sulclent to cause the Inhabitants -
tants ot the neutral ground to lock Ilelr
coops anti pnt theIr pies multI pastry In the
cellar , for he was apt to dhmount before a
door and cal for his dinner.

ALAN'S VISITOR.
One afternoon In early antumn a boy of (
16 , standing In the shade of a tree which
grew near a farmimimouse . saw a single horse-
man turn a bend In time country road not far
o . !
oft.Time sunlight fell upon time scarlet unltorm '
of a klng's moan and the following moment
the youth had wlhdawi Into the house and
hurrlely locketl the cellar and the pantry.
Intnlton toll hlu who the trooper was as
he wal entirely alone. though It was ILel )
that others were not far off , perhaps among
the hils near the river.
The large black horle that carried the
dragoon calt cantering down time real , and
In a tew seconds time seller had drawn
rein In front of time old-Cashlonel Carmhouse.
"hlalloo , there ! " he shoutel tn a gruff
voice , as ho threw one leg over the saddle
anti lookel toward the house "Big Gideon
wants hIs Ilnner , "
I happncl that the boy who had seen
blm was the only occupant of the house that
afernoon , ills mother hatl taken the only
horse and rldlen to hIs aunt's , a few miles
down the river , and the father was In the
American arnmy
Alan Shelley , was alone , the only one to
oppose the dreaded dragoon ot time klng's
regulars.
As the sollier ceased speaking , the door
upon the porch opened and the boy cale
out.
"Here . my little rat . " crlel Gideon , at
sight of imlni "mion't you know I'm hungry ?
So tel your mother to set out one or her
famous plnm pies. Ive heard of them , you
.500. And I'l come In and try It . "
lother Is not at home , sir , , answered
the lad . whose face showed that he was cool
and detcrmmmimmetl . "Besides I don't think
thero's a plum pie In time house "
"Il see about that A rarm hOlse wltim-
out a plum pIe thIs time oC the year Is a
larly , ' '
FORCE VERSUS COURAGU.
The dragoon sprang to the ground and
lel his horse to time post In front of the farm
house his sabre rattling at hIs heels anti his
eyes agleal . , with eagerness . Alan Shepley
met him on the porch and looked 111 wih
amazement at the man who towered above
him hue a giant.
There was a three-legged stool on the
porch and upon this the big red coat sat
whlo he wa\01 his hand toward the open
door of the main house.
"Now , fetch It out lad , " said be , "Il
cat It In my lall. Don't be slow about It
either Ive heanl about these wonderous
pIes your mother bakes . and as Ive never
sampled one you'l excuse me If I show a
little eageress . "
"lut I'vo told you , sir , that we have no
plum pies In the house. There's time cellar
and yonder the pantry , and IC you wlsh- "
"I 'can search the house ? " broke In big
Gideomm.
"That Is Just what you may do. The eel-
lar Is the imandiest you see as the door Is
rlht on the porch here. The pantry Is In
!
the room yonder "
For a moment , the giant red coat dll not
know what to say to the boy's frankness .
but he evidently thought he was being trifled
with , for he suddenly rose and lalll his hand
threateningly on the hit of the saber.
" " said be "It 'OU make
"MimI you . siree , you
game of Big Gideon he'l cut you down without -
out mercy. So look out , lad I" !
Alan did not quaver at this but replied
with time . same firmness be had already displayed -
"Come , I know where your father Is. lie's
with Washington the rebel whom the king
will have Lb pleasure of banging one of
these days , "
Alan Shepley's cheeks flushed .
"When he hangs \'asblnlton. your kIng
will be mich older than he Is miov " bo
exclaimed. "You red coats cannot crush out
liberty In North AmerIca "
Ibcrty ' that ? " cried Big Glleon , "This
Is treason , boy and I'm a klng's man "
1lng's man or not . air I al going to
tel you what I think sir "
For I moment It looked as It Alan Shep-
Icy would pay dearly for his display 01 pa-
tniotism . but the big dragoon sUlllenly
thought ot his wants.
"ThIs pie the pie ! " he exclaimed " \0'1
compromise on that If It Is wel done , ha .
' I
ha.
Il crossell his legs and waited , but time
boy did not move
"Oh you gave me leave to search time
hou8e 4'lu you ? " he saiti " 1'1 luke you
at your word The pantry first . Come
along "
10 , sent an eager , suspicious ( glance down
the road , for the predatory bands of "Skin-
ner's , " patriot maraudeu , were apt to come
In sight. but seeing notiming he left the
stool and entered , the houst.
Alan stepped forward and opened the
pantry.
"There Is. time little store house " he remarked -
marked looking at the dagoqn.
HUNTING TiE PI
I dhl not take long for the bIg fellow
to thrust his be.d Into the pantry he could
do little more , owIng to his great buik anti
Alan watched him as he searchctl I , run' !
nlnl hb huge hands along the shelves to the , .
Irreparable damage of some precious glass-
ware which was shivered on the floor. '
"Now , time cellar ! " cried Dig Gideon turning .
Ing from ( the pantry. "I don't like preserves ,
else I would have stripped your pantry.
This way. lad. "
lie tramped . back to the porch looking
once more up and down the country road ,
anti halting near the cellar door he bade .
the boy unlock It.
ThIs door was seclrOI by an oll-fasblol tl
padlock , Into which fitted a key of forinid-
able size and the door itself was made of
the strongest ot oak planks.
Alan stooped over the lock and opened I ,
then rising with the key In his hands he
looked at the soldier as he rahetl the door
with the greatest ease.
The cellar looked lark ( enough antI Big
Gdeon called for a candle which the boy
brought handlns It to imimn In another
moment the klng's regular began 10 dt
scend anti In a little whie Alan heard him
rum81Inl In the cellar.
Well did Alan Shepley know that no plum
pie woulll reward the redcoat's Iarch , amid ,
for a few seconds he stoo'l aud lstened to
his movements , now and then c.tchlng
glimpses of time flickering higimt , which the
gloved hand carried.
At lat he heard the plunderer In the
furtlermost corner ot the cellar and then he
sprang to the door Catching It firmly ho
slammed It down antI the moment It struck
he was upon I and the padlock snapped In
Its old place.
TiE IUNO'S IAN TRAPPED.
Big Gideon was a prisoner In the cellar .
For hal a mInute Alan Shepley seemed
overcome with what he hall done , but he
knew that the dragoon could not get out

Wih this the boy turned amid went toward

forced , "
The , American riders sprang to the gronnd
and surrounded the cellar door . while Alan
called to time man he had left Inside.
"or course , I'm hero yet , " growled Big
Gideon. "how can one break through a
stone wal or force a door of oak ? I'm no
SJmson , lad . hut I am strng enonlh to show
you what It Is to shut up the I < ng's regulars
In this manner "
Alan opened the cellar and the lushe face
ot the prisoner came In sIght.
But midway on time steps he lmalted . as he
looked up Into the amused faces of limo free
lances ot the neutrl ground.
"What's this ? " he cried . turn'ng white
faced upon Alan Shepley. "What have you
.
domme little rebel ? "
" 1\0 only gone and fetched some of my
rrlends to see yotm. You wIll have to talk
wih them , llaster Gideon , "
The big fellow fumed and growled over the
sittmation . but lie had to slbmlt. lie know
thal In a short time he would be a prIsoner of
war lu the American camp and In a twinkling
ho was disarmed and mounted on his own
here , but'as a captive.
"Just walt till I come back . " he exclaimed .
turning anti shaking his fists at Alan Shepley ,
who stood on the porch with a smie of keen
triumph on his rUddy face , "One of the.e
days you will lear what r Is to entrap one
of the klng's regulrs . "
The bo"s smile broadened.
I "Good by , Master Gltieon . " he said . "The
next time you come wo'n try and have plum
pIe. "
The big dragoon muttered something about
I the future vengeance , then time Skinner cap-
taln gave the command to march , and away
I I they went wIth their unexpected prisoner
I The klng's regular never was able to carry
out his threat , for before he was exchanged
I the fortunes ot war turned In favor of the
colonists , and the neutral ground was safe
from time plundering hands of the enemmmy.
Alan Shepley became time hero of the ds- !
trlct for his exploit . which clung to him as
long as he n\ed. and he never grew tired of
telling to his grandchildren how he cauht
, Dig Oldeon or 1lng Oeorge's army and turned
him over to tie Americans
And Big Odeon I SUPIOe never forgot
how he failed to get a plum pIe feast at the
patriot farm house.

Seventy years age the Hound Hill school
at Northampton Mass . , was perhaps the
most famols school tn New England The
founder , George Bancro , had modeled It
upon a celebrated school In Switzerland In
the hope that I would prove a starting
pint for a broader system of elementary
training than had yet existed In America ,
and everything was done to develop the phy.
deal and immoral , as well as the mcntal , traits
of the pupils .
The school was beautifully sitttated . comim-
mantling a superb view , and had besides the
school rooms , a gymnasium and play rooms
that were kept warm In cold weather and
