their country, dwelt a brave and devoted
fan ily of patriots, named Hart, j """
Abijah and Abigail Hart were scarcely
pash; the prime of life, although they had
bee n blessed with a large family of chil
dr n, only three of whom, however two
bo; s and a girl had survived the'eom
mc n ills incidental to childhood. .'.
' Fhe elder son would have been two
and twentyjhad his life been spared;
bu ; eight months before he had fallen
an innocent victim to the rage and mal
ice of the Tories, who swarmed in pred
ate ry bands throughout this section.
Jpon these murdering wretches, who
hal thus wantonly deprived them of
their eldest born, at a time when he
mi ht have been of inestimable service
to ! them,; the father and mother,
an 1 only remaining sou, Silas, now in
hi: nineteenth year afterward the cel
eb ated Indian tighter of Hardin County,
K ntucky swore to be revenged, when
ev it and wherever an opportunity should
offer to wreak their vengeance.
' Leah, their second remaining off
sp ring, was a beautiful and warm-hearted
m iiden of j seventeen, and the affianced
bride of Randolph Darell, a brave young
of icer, at one time upon the staff of
Gi :neral Marion. .. . !
Young Darell was in the habit now
ar d then, whenever he could make an
excuse to obtain .a furlough, - of paying
a iying visit to - Gum-Tree Farmthe
hi imble, though comfortable, home of
tie Harts. i
On one of these occasions a party of
se yen mounted Tories pursued him near
ly the the entire distance from the Amcri
cj n camp to the residence of the Harts,
he, however, contriving to elude them in
a piece of Woods just before reaching the
fa rm. ' - .
An abrupt bend in the road had fav
ored him, and the iTory rangers, not
d -earning of this adroit move on the part
o the flying fugitive, dashed furiously
0 x till they came to the farm-house,

1 js. Hart, who was standing in the
door-way,! if she had seen a horseman

A jnerican officer. i ! I. '1
iThe wpman shrewdly surmised, who
t ic officer misrbt be who would be com
ing alonelin that direction,' and promptly
inquired if the' horse' he rode was a sor
rel one. I To her seemingly careless ques
tion the Torries promptly gave an affir
mative reply. . '
: "Then he has rid into the swamp yon-
er. bv a cartpath that leads on to th
eechknoll road," answered the "quick-
itted woman, with an admirable pres-
nce of mind, and an apparently cool in
ference to the subject, which carried
nstant conviction to . the minds of the
bries, who again spurred on in supposed
ursuit of the furtive; but, to their
eat disappointment, the cart-road pres-
ntly terminated in a bog, ana, on a care-
ul examination, they discovered that no
ther horse-tracks had : been left there
ut those of their own animals.
"He must have taken to the thicket,'
said the leader, after fully satisfying his
nind on the subiect. There is no use at
'all in bcatiug the ground farther, for h
has had ample time already to escape. (
We may as well jmake a virtue of neces
sity, and go back and see what is to be

"Aua uguer-iooKing iuaa biu, iaua

The Cory horsemen now wheeled about
and retraced their way to the fann-housei
which was only a short distance, just ai
Randolph Darell was on the point o j
emerging from toe wood; but lucidly he
discovered them in season to escape thei f
notice, by abruptly retreating back again
under cover. 1 t
Alighting once more at the door of the
farm-house, thejTory leader ordered 3Iri
Hart to prepare idinncr for the party, and
bestir herself. " " 9
Vllow can I give you dinner when
Fre nothing to cooki" retorted the restf-
lute-looking woman, angrily. I should
need a full larder to satisfy a half-dozen
such dirty rascals as you are." (
"Silence, woman 1" thundered the
Tory, in a commanding roiee. 4,and do
our bidding:' ("I'll soon give you some
thing to cook," he added, . leveling his
carbine as he spoke, and bringing down.
a plump turkey gobbler that was strut
ting along under cover of the garden
wall." "There, now, go and pluck that
fine fellow, my beauty, and don't belong
about t, or we rnight be tempted to scrf e
you in the same way. '
JLean, who haa shruntc timiaiy into' a
corner, started tip in alarm when she
heard this threat, and made her way out
to the spot where the bird had fallen. !
Randolph Darell, alarmed at the shot,
was just on the point of a dashing out of
his cover to go to the rescue oz the
females, when he saw his affianced rush
out, and bear the turkey hastily to the
house. .1 !
In a moment he divined the cause of
the firing; and not apprehending any
immediate danger to his sweetheart, so
long as the Tories were only anxious to
appease their appetites, he went back to
ma cover.
' The quick eye of the Tory leader took
in the graceful! outlines of the fair girl's
figure, as she rushed from the house.
"By the beard of King George l" he
exclaimed, admiringly, "who 'ould 'ave

"You dare to lay jour cowardly hand
on my Leah," cried the enraged mother,
doubling up her great, bony fist, "and
1 11 strangle you like a cur I"
"Why, you Isouint-eyed old beauty,"
retorted the Tory, mockingly, "I took
you for a hangel. but I find you are
wickeder than a she wolf with whelps!
' The rest of the gang laughed boister
ously at this weak attempt at wit. Then
turning to Leah with a gallant smile,
the Tory inquired how loner it would
take to pluck and cook the fowl.
Leah answered1 in a modest tone of
womanly anxiety, that it would require
at least three houn to serve it to their
liking.
"But," she added, in a tone of con
ciliation, "we have a piece of roast
pork and some cold potatoes and corn
cake in the pantry, if they will answer."
The hungry! party, who had been some
hours fasting, declared that the articles
named were good enough, and that they
would forego he turkey on this occa
sion for her sake.
" "Wlth great jalacrlty, but with an anx
iously beating heart, Leah spread the
homely, board, and brought forth the
promised viadds, which she laid out
temptingly before them. She then placed
what chairs and stools the house afforded .
around the table, and politely in vited her
unwelcome visitors to be seated. -.
Complying with her invitation, the
Tories carelessly stacked their cabines
near an open window, and, seating
themselves at the table, fell to, greedily
devouring the repast,
i Mrs. Hart,' in the meantime, with a
heroism superior to her sex, had watched
her hungry guests till she saw she was
not observed by them, when she slipped
out slyly from their midst, and, noise
lessly approaching the open window, she
succeeded in drawing out three of the
carbines before her little game was dis
covered. The moment the Tories perceived the
deadly purpose of the giantess, the three
nearest the window sprang to their feet
in terrified astonishment. . .
I "Stand bakl" she cried, in a threat
ening tone, presenting one of the loaded
carbines with an air of resolute determi
nation. "Tlie first villain of you that
stirs a step, I'll shoot; and the first one
that touches another mite of that pork
111 blow his brains out I"
i Without needing her blazing eye, or
hcrj stern verbal warning, the Tory leader
sprang fearlessly toward the stack of
arms; but before he could reach them
there was a report of a carbine, and the
advancing ruffian fell tovthe floor, while
the ! sluar. which had Gassed entirely
through his body, struck another in the
temple, who was seated at the table, kill
ing him instantly. . j
, A third, rendered desperate bv the try
ing "situation1, made a reckless attempt to
get possession of one o( the carbines, and
instantly paid the penalty with his life, j
Throwing! the second empty carbine
aside, Mrs. ilart caught up the third
one, with which she now covered what
remained of jthe terrified party.
There were but four left, and not one
of the four dared to move a finger.
i"Leah, btow the dinner-horn V cried
the mother, jia a tone of resolute triumph.
"It is safe now to call in Silas and your
father." (' j
The young girl," half-terrified out of
her wits, promptly obeyed the maternal
command, ind a long, winding blast
echoed and jre-echoed through the inter
vening woods. . . -i
jShe had teft the house and joined her
mother on the outside before she essayed
to blow it, and as she lowered the horn
from her Hps. now rendered colorless
from her recent fright, her anxious eyes
were bent in the direction of the distant
corn-field, where her father and brother
and a faithful negro servant were at
work, although a narrow belt of ti
e . stretched between them.
She uttered quick exclamation or
joyous pleasure, for at that moment sh
saw all three strike out of the wood and
start on a rapid run toward the. house.
Hearing the first shot that had been
fired and then alarmed by the other two
which had followed in such rapid suc
cession, they 'caught up their loaded car
bines and started on a run from the field
where they were then at work.
The moment they hart quitted the tim
ber they saw at a glance, by the severa!
horses hitched to the fence and the bel
ligerent attitude of the heroic giantess at
the window, pretty nearly how matters
stood at the house, and they all three
sent up an encouraging shout to the
women, j
Just at this point they heard the ring
ing sound of a horse's hoofs in an op
posite direction, and, turning suddenly,
Leah beheld her lover dashing furiously
toward the house. This additional i en
forcement, coming so opportunely? jet so
unexpectedly, filled the heart of the timid
maiden with increased confidence.
"Oh, mother!" she burst out, excited
ly; "Randolph is coming seel He is
just leaving the wood. Isn't it lucky for
him to come just at thU time, when we
had no reason to expect hunt"
"I. expected him," said Mrs. Hart,
with quiet assurance,. "I knew it was
he the Tories were in pursuit of, and I
was determined to outwit them, if it lay
in the power of a woman to do it. Every
thing has turned out for the best; for
had Lieutenant Darell ridden straight
here, instead of lingering in the wood,
as he did, he would doubtless have been
captured, and perhaps murdered before
our eyes. So you see, my girl, the way
of Providence are better than our ways,
'for they always turn out for tho best in
the end."
In another moment Randolph Darell
had alighted at their side, and in the
next, the blushing and happy Leah was
enfolded in his manly embrace.
While the lovers were thus pre-occu-pied,
Abijah, Silas and tho negro ar
rived, fearfully excited aud wholly out
of breath.
Silas recovered first, and was about
to shoot down one of the Tories, when
his mother resolutely interfered.
"Don't shoot them! Leave them to
me, Silas. I will mete out their punish
ment to them. We . haven't forgotten
Eben'a murder yet, and shooting is too
good for 'em. We will just hang them
like a pack of dogs, the whole cowardly
kit of them. Get the clothes line, Leah;
we can afford to cut it on such a right
eous and heaven sent occasion!"
Randolph shuddered, for he under
stood the determined character of the
woman and knew that she would not be
long in putting her terrible threat into
execution. Nor, indeed, was she; for
within the ensuing hour, in spite of their
prayers and protestations, the bodies of
the four Tories went dangling from the
nearest tree. And thus at the hand of a
resolute and heroic mother, was the death
of a beloved son simply and satisfactorily
avenged.
After the Tories had hung a sufficient
time, they were cut down and tumbled
indiscriminately; with the other three,
into one common grave.
Shortly after this event, LeaU and
Randolph Darell were happily united in
wedlock; and soon after the close of
our glorious Revolution, the whole
family j emigrated to Hardin County,
Kentucky, where they could have, as
Mrs. nart expressed it, more "elbow

more refined and attractive than a per

is a change, and thetablo can be mads to

TO FRXBHEN OLD CLOnXCCO.
The way to make old clothes look like
new is described in the AmerUzn, Anal$tt
as follows: j
Take, for instance, a shiny old coat,
vest or pair of pants, of broadcloth,
cassimere or diagonal. The scourer
makes a strong, warm soapsuds and
plunges the garment into it, souses it up
and down, rubs the dirty places, if
necessary puts it through a second suds,
then rinses it . through several waters, and
hangs it to dry on the line. When nearly
dry, he takes it in, roils it up for an
hour or two, and then presses it. An
old cotton cloth is laid on the outside of
the coat and the iron passed over that
until the wrinkles are out; but the iron
is removed before the steam ceases to
rise from the goods else they would be
shiny. "Wrinkles that are obstinate are
removed by laying a wet cloth over them
and passing the iron over that. If any
shiny places are seen, they are treated at
the wrinkles are ; the iron is lifted, while
the full cloud of steam rises and brings
the nap up with it. Cloth should always
have suds made specially for it, as if that
which has been used for white cotton or
woolen clothes be used lintwill.be left in
the water, and cling ta the cloth. In
this manner we have known the same
coat and pantaloons to be renewed time
and again, and have all the look and feel
of new garments. Good broadcloth and
its fellow cloths will bear many washings,
and look better every time because of
them.
