t " 1 fear not tbat be is dead. Uncle Isaac

! only iMt February tbat be was t Horse
Neck and since then he has been in the
ound. I can never look at tbe blue waters
'of ' the harbor without feat ing lo see his
murderous sail "
"He is a bold and wicked man and 1
j shudder much at the thought of what was
done in Danbury ; but 1 trust that if he
does venture into our quiet harbor that be
will meet with a g.tat repulse. Our men
are courageous , but few ; and , old ae I am.
, yet I would not hesitate , but would take
< mr flintlock and march wi.h the nulitii
' ag'ainat him. But , lass , if Tryon was com
Ing here Nathan would have warned us of
bia approach. "
Mercy's heart beat high at the thought *
of her absent lover , and sne longed to talk
more about him ; but the old man grew rem
iniscent of the early days of the colony.
He loved to relate that his ancestor was
a flrin fri nd of Theopolls Eaton , and that
h had selected tbe site c : their home under
I the- giant elm. whi.-h much to the old mans
grief had been struck by llghnlng a few
weeks before , and now stooJ. a wre k ot
I its former glory , broken off about fifteen
I f * t from tbt grojtid As he spoke of the
i earl v days , his eyes kindled and rising be
I extended his arm toward the harbor where
I the blue water sparkled in the July sun
shine , and bringing It around In a ewmi-
circular curve , he said proudly "As long
as this arm retains its strength it shall
fight for this harbor , and these broad lands
n < ancestor purchas ? d , and shall defend
.he graves yonder where lay the meji who
took the bible for the corner stone ol their
colony , come Tryon when he may ! "
Tbe maiJen stole away , leaving him to
his uiu iag * . . for there was much to do in
their quiet home , for many were the stock
ings knitted and the blankets woven for the

name ij.oken in a low tone. "Mercy , Mercy
art ibou there , lass ? "
"Yes. 1 ; is I. " she an wered. "but who

"It is thy lover. Nathan ; but look around ,
lass art sure the coast is ilear ? No one in

The girl glanced around carefully. "No.

i "T dare not , loss ; but come thoa Dear
and I will tell you all , but speak cot much ,
for tby voice is as clear as a silver bell ,

I Mercy gave a etart of alarm. Her lover
: continued : "As tbou knowest I left Wash-
' ington's army to be a spy on Tryon's move-
menu , and I remained undiscovered on

touched at Fairfield harbor and on board
came John White , a tory , our former neigh

general , came forward at once and said
'A traitor , a epy ! and tbou shall die the
death. Seize on bim , men , and we will
hang him in his own dooryard on the mor

sprang overboard , and as it was dark , I
eft-aped their shots. I made for tbe chore and

The night uas dark and sultry , but It
brought no terrors to Mercy Weatherbee
as ebe rode on her loyal errand \ uiet
call in the dark at the houses : a few word *
of earnest conversation at the door , and i
silently as they bad come the gray mare
sped down the road bearUic the young girl
with the warning word. Midnight came ind
went and still she rode The fort at Black
Rock had been notified , the hamlets lead
ing to Montowese recelvtd their word , end
through the silent s'reets the tra > mare
galloped oer the brldce leading to West
Haxen. where on the morrow the militia
would make a gallant stand. The grav
light of early morning daniitj and Mercy
had ridden her rounds , and in the last hour
before sunrise she rerted near West Haven
Wrapping herself well in her mantle shf
sat beside her weary horse which cropped
hungrily the grern grass by the wayside
All West Haen seemtd to be sleeping at
her feet , but no olumber came to her ej'i't.
She eagerly scanned the gray waters as
they slowly brightened Into light , end her
gaze was rewarded for her c ; > s caught the
firs ; gl.mpse of Try on's sail e ; It came into
the harbor. A moment satisfied her that
the enemy had come. The next , she had
mounted Gray Bess and had galloped
toward her home Her warnings were wel !
heeded , for the 1,500 of Tryon's men which
be had dlspatchfd to enter the town bj
that road met with such a resistance frotn the
sttfdv miiitia at the bridge that they were
j ) forced to retreat and effect their entrance
i to N'ew Haven by means or the Derby road
I No time did Mercy lose ere the news vs.--
I known in New Haven. A the cannon from
. West Haven boomed out the news , the mil'-
I tia started , and foremost atnone them , with
I the same step and valor he displayed In
' 54 marched old Isaac Weatherbee. and In
' ' the same company of egllant defender * ;
j marched the venerable Dr. Daggttt. a
' former president of Yale college.
Hastening to her borne. Mercy tound th -
dame almo't projtrated liy the news and
| fearing that she would do Nathan moie
] harm than coed if she remained there. Mercy
I prevailed on her to go to her sifter's
j home for the day , while she wou > d stay at
i i the fa'm and if possible divert aiiy EUG-
picfcc of Nathan's' whereabo-juj from the
British soldiers.
Mer. r did not know that half ot the fleet
had landc-3 on the east Ei-e of the harbor-
the half commanded by Governor Tryon , who
was furioous at the eeape of the spy. Na
than Wf-atherbee. The fort was qui klv
taken , hut the little garrison of niae-uen
men es.-aped and hastening to the town
Joined their brethren in its defense.
Meanwhile T-yon ente-red New Haven ,
and risMly conjecturing that Nathan would
have made fobis borne , be lost no time
in going to tbe farm in company with bin
staff , leaving hb men to pillage and burn
tbe town as they pleased. Mercy saw their
approach and nerved herself for the trial
Brought up in tbe stern Puritan faith , she
never doubted God's ability to aid her in
tbe ordeal If she adhered to tbe truth for
never in her brief life of eighteen years
bad she told a falsehood , and she could not
do It now ; but with her implicit faith was
her determ.nation not to reveal Nathan's
hiding place even at the cost of her own life.
It was a stpm place for a young girl , but the
daughtrre of tbe Revolution were made of
stern mate.ial
Resolved to capture Nathan Ei til haz
ards , the governor had close questioned
his ton- allies , but could not learn that he
had been in tbe neighborhood : yet the new-f
had gone out that Mercy Weatherbee hart
warn-rt tbe pecple of their approach , and
no one but Nothan could have informed
her So reasoned tbe governor and as be

"Cumt1" repeated tbe governor , sternly ,
