The-eventful year or 1778 was drawing
to a close when Colonel Campbell of the
British army, landed near Savannah, and
fell fuaipnsly on the Americans nndcr
General HoweofNorflf Caroliua. Howe's
troops were fti no condflion to face the
enemy; an unsuccessful campaign iu the
Fluridas had enfeebled Ins men by dis
eftsc, and deeming "discretion the bet
ter part ot v*lor," he returned up the
river.
Of course, the then capital of Geor«.
gia fell into the hands of the enemy, who
abused his triumph, and consigned his
name to an unenviable fame.
There strong Troy element In
Savannah which had been kept in check
by the presence ot the Continentals, but
when tho Britisbjmarclied into the city,
it rose and asserted iis strength. Houses
were plundered, and a number of pa
triots bayoneted in the streets. Neigh
bors rose against neighbors, and Tories
led a plundering soldiery to the homes of
the patriots.
The Holly family that dwelt in Savan
nah at the time ot its capture and sack
consisted of three persons—the mother
and two childicn. The father, a man'of
wealth and influence in Georgia, had
died duryig the year that preceeded the
outbreaking' of tbo war, and the home of
his family was uneol the finest residences
in the city.
Minun Holly, tho oldest child, was a
beautiful girlofuiueteen, while her bioth
er was five veara her junior. If the fath
er had lived, he might have proven a
Tory, for he WHS devotedly attached to
the mother country, and the kingV
troopi .j"»k possession ot the capital,
Colonel Campbell commanded that the
Holly's home should not be ransacked.
TiiU3 the. house esAiped pillage, and
Miriun hastened to thank the soldier for
his kinduess. '
Cotouel (Jambell was struck by tbc
girl'a graeo, and remarkable loveliness,
and detained her at his headquarters until
he had learned her family hiutory by
many adroit questions.
'There goes the handsomest girl in
Go.rgiaJ' oried Campbell, as the girl left
the house.
iriis companion, who happened to be
his chief' ot staff, looked after Miriam and
remarked
*1 quite agreer with (be Colonel. These
American rebels are all beautiful.'
Campbell was silent for a moment.
'We will not occupy this building after
to-morrow,' he" said suddenly. 4 1 am go
ing4o takenp my abode beneath the
same root that shelters Mi ram Holly.'
. 'Love at fist sight, Colonel,' said the
cliiet of staff, with a merry twinkle in bis
eyes. 'ls Lady Bonn so soou forgotten,
my dear Colonel?'
•Lady Bonn be hanged?' cried Camp
bell. 'A soldier loves when and whom
he pleases, and, besides Major, one is not
obliged to marry these Americans girls
because he lores them.'
* The conversation was interrupted by
the arrival ot an orderly, and was not
resumed.
On the following day Colonel Camp
bed made lliriam Holly's home his head
quarters.
The girl grew deathly pale when she
learned oi the sudden change, and said
iu a whisper to her mother:
'This is a terrible event. He is not fit
to depart yet, nor will ho bo for a week
to come.'
'Miriam, I have been thinking that it
might be policy for us to give him up to
the si my.' replied Mrs. Holly.
'Give him tip now?' cried the girl.
•Give him op and hear every Tory in Sas
vaunah cry for bis blood? Not Unless
discovered he shall remain where he is

Hess, and tears stood in the mothers eyes
when she opened her arms aud received
the daughter in her embrace.
'Forgive me, Miriam! she cried. 'We
must keep our secret from Colonel Camp
bell. He must not kuow who lies to-dav
beneat our root.' ! '
So Miriam hastened from ber mother's
presence, and by touching a concealed
' spring iu the wall of an unfinished room,
revealed a narrow stairway, bhe at ouce
mounted the steps and entered a very
femail apartment Into which Jigbt stream
ed from a sky window.
The room was tenanted. Ou a low eot
lay a man iu bis twenties. His dark h&ir
contrasted vividly with the deathly pallor
of his face, and the suit of taded ContN
nental uniform, with a sword, that bung
against the wall over the bed, told that
he waa an American soldier. A boy of {
15 who sat on the edge of the bed was
reading aloud, but in a cautious toue,
when the door opened to admit Miriam.

GRAHAM, N C-, WEDNESDAY OCTOBER
when the fair girl camo forward aud took
his fevered hand.
Then she told him about Colonel
Campbell's change ot quarters, aud be
listened without n question.
•Well,' hp sttid at last, 'what are wtf
going to do?'
'We are going to remain here till we
get strong enough *o leave tho city,' an
swered Miriutn, with a aipile, and even
while she spoke a taint noise below told
her that tho British Coloiitl was moving
into bis new quai tors.
The Continental was a captain iif
Howe's little army. He had served the
Colonies with a zeal surpassed by none
wl\o ralliod round the cause of freodom;
but disease had seized upon hiin in Flors
Ida, and heTßturned tVhh the troops to*
Georgia to find an asylum in Miriam
Holly's home, and to be nursed by her
through the long hours of his fever. Tli^~
attending physician was a man who
knew how to keep a secret, and as his
sympathies were will) the patriot canse,
lie gave Miriam many valuable hints that
looked to the hidden soldier's health aud
future safety.
Colonel Campbell, bent on the conquest
of the fair girl's heart, tried to make
nimseit agreeable to the inmates of the
mansion. Miriam look good care not to
show him that his absence would be
.more desirable than his company,• and
the widow treated him with a courtesy
that kept him alooi from suspicion for
several day 9.
It was believed by the Tories of Sa
vannah that a number of Continentals
remained secreted in the city, indeed,
several had been discovered since itscap
ture, aud at the time ot the commandant's
change of quarters an active search for
such peraoiia wcagoiug on.
'ls this house Haunted,
asked the Colonel one morning the
breakfast table.
The started at the abrupt questbu,

'Haunted?' she echoed with au eftort.
'The ghost must be rats. -Have you been
Visited by sheeted beings?'
'No, but after I 'setired last night I
heard a noise liKe the sound of distant
voices. Jl seemed directly overhead,
and 1 called my chief of stall. Who sleeps
over my apartment, if you will permit so
bold a question ?' ■*
'My brother answered Miriam quick
ly. I wa3 with him until a late hour lust
night.'
'And the uight before?'
'Yes.' j . y
'Thou I beard the souud of your voice,
no doubt,' said Campbell, glancing at. the
chief of stall, whoso eyes during the con
versation had been fastened ou the girl's
face. TV.
Major Guilford had noticed eyeiy
change of coniciiauce, aud when the
twain had retired from the break-last ta»

'Whatdo you say now 'Colonel?' be
oried in triumph.
•I don't know wlntl tfc qay. I—'
'I watched Tier like a hawk, anil I tell
you the girl is disshvilating. There is a
rebel soldier iu this home!'
Colonel Campbell looked at his majof,
but did not speak.
'I never did believe that she was a tory,
continued Guilford. 'She is one ot the
rankest rebels in Savaunah. Why Colo
nel so long as the Continental remains
beiieatb this roof, you cannot Bucceed
,with her. He stands betweeu you andi
Miriam Holly, so you see the line of yonr
policy is clearly before j ou.'
The British colonel started.
'1 did not tbiuk ot that!*be said. Ma
jor we will solve the mystery of the
sounds we heard last night.'
'With me it is solved already,' was the
obiet ol the stall's reply.
From that hour Miriam Holly was
watched.
Hei absence from the lower rooms was
noted, and the colonel kuew wheu she
was not iu her boudoir. *

and donned bis faded uniform.

there were true friends who promised to

His last words were addressed to the
Continental captain, whoso auswer was
kept back by Miriam Holly's actiou*
Shrinking from th» British officers,she
readied the bed whereupon a pistol lay

tho close of the service upon some theme
of unusual interest. Atter conversing
earnestly while adjusting their boauets,
the theme .was still unexhausted, and
Miss Mary said, 'Sit right down, Julia,
dear, and tell me everything she said.'
Accordingly the two Iriends sat down,
and become so mtieh interested that they
| forgot that the sextou was iu tho habit
22 1879
of locking up (he church immediately
uftcr K'l vlr.e, and taking the key with
him to his residence, three miles away.
When tlioy Anally rose and got up to go,
and descended to the door, they loaud it
fastened, and were brought face _to face
willi the alarming possibility that they
might be compelled to spend the rest of
the day And the uight in confinement.
The lower windows wore about twelve
feet from the ground, and the young
ladies did not dnro to jump nut. 'They
iheretoro stationed themselves at the
window to wait for possible help, aud ink
the course ot halt an hour were rewarded
by tbo accidental apneurance of Mr.
Stiles. That good young man was greatly
astonished at beholding the fair prisoners,
and immediately began to devise means
for releasing thein. To procure the key,
was out of tho question, for be himself
had just Keen the sextou ride away with
die intention of attending a dog fight at u
camp fifteen miles from Los Angeles.
He proposed to (bo young ladies that they
should jump, relying upon his promise
to catch them; but they declined, assert.tig
(bat they would rather die. lie then
suggested that they should let themselves
down by their hands from the window
ledges, so that their teet would just touch
his shoulders, when he could easily help
thenh to the ground. They refused to
consider this proposition; and told hiin
that if be could do uotbiug better than to
stand there and insult them be might go
aud leave ilium to their fate. Stimulated
by thiß reproach, he suddenly hit upoij a
happy thought. Running to a neighbor
ing pile of lumber, lie pro*ured a long
wide, unplained board, one end of whiuh
he placed on the ground, while tbe other
end reached to tho window sfll. Down
this board, which was inclined at an auglo
of torty-fivo degrees, he urged tho pris
oners to slide, assuring them that they
could uut tail to reach the ground iu
safety. It was finally agreed, after many
whispered consultations between the two
yow«>g ladies, lliut they would accept Mr.
advice, on condition, however,
that lie should stand with his back to the
window aud devote all his energies to
the study ot the clouds. Prolonged
•reparations were then made, Wflft !t'
double'object of preserving ' silk skirls
from contact with tbo board and shoe
buttons trow exposure to tbe direct rays
of the sun. Those preparations Were at
last completed, aud Miss Mary, seating
hei-seJt on the ii:uli*ied plane, shot swift-,
ly to the grouud with a short, sharp
sbrisk that filled Mr. Stiles with alarm.
Miss Julia followed with equai'jujelei iiy
and a stili sharper shriek, aud Ml Stiles
turned around to congratulate the girls
on their escape aud to receive tbeir grats
itudo.
r Why those two usually polite and
amiable girls told him 10 "go away, you
horrid a»d- aiantltaueoualy biwst
Uito tears, Mr. Stiles uould not imagine.
Had he not done all that he could for
tbem? and had they not through his
means safely reached the grouud? H*
could not understand such ingratitude:
but when he picked up the board and
started to carry it to the lumber pile bo
dropped it with a remark verging upon
irreverence, wbile a flt»od of tight burst
upon his roeutal vision. As he eileutly
drew oat bis jack knife and began 16 diss
inter the splinters of whicii bis hands
were full, be .felt that he was little less
than a monster in human form. With
the best intentions, be had conducted
himself in such a way as to oarn the ju6t
indignation of two beautiiol and estima
ble girls. The worst feature of tha case
was bis inability to make any setistaotos
ry apology. He did for jk moment, think
ot presenting each of the girl* with an
apologetic ease of needles, but a little res
flection convinced him that ife*would not
do. From that day to this Miss Mary
and Miss Julia have refused to recognize
bim. and the unhappy man, conscious of
tbe impossibility ot saying anything to
soot lie their lacerated feelings, sutlers
day and night from more remorse than
would be sufficient for three4oll grown'
repentant murderers. — Y. Times,
