reviewed by its leader.
"Number one is Iko Van Wart, Major,"
says Jierck. "His <yes are peeled, if
there's any eyes £ut liicir bark off in the
whole thirteen."
Ike touched his cocked bat—it was hifl
only bit of uniform—and squared shoul-
ders to be looked at.
He was a lank personage, of shrewd
but rather sanctimonious visage. War
made him a scout. Fate appointed him
one prong of Major Andre's bootjack.
But elder and chorister wore written on
his face, and he died older and chorister
of tho First Presbyterian Church of
Greenburg, in Westchester.
"Right about face, Iket" says Jierck.
Forrud march, old Sam (ialsworthy!
He's grit, if grit grows. His only fault
is he's too good natured to live."
Old Sara stood forward and laughed.
As he laughed the last button flew off
his uniform coat. It was much too lean
a coat for one of his increasing diam-
eter, and the erit of that final button
had long been merely a question of time.
"Right abont fac«, Sam!" says the fu-
gleman. "Forrud march, Hendrecus
Canady! He looks peaked, major. His
father's a root and Injun doctor, and he
never had much but pills to eat until he
ran off and joined the army. But 1
stamp the whole thirteen to show me a
wirier boy or a longer head. Ile'll be
in congress before he says 'Die' through
that nose of his'n."
Hendrecus Canady in turn toed the
mark for inspection.
Now, boys," said Bkerrett, "I like
your looks, and I like what Captain
Jierck says of you. You know what
we've got to do, and know it moat be
done. You'll travel, scattering, accord-
ing to Jierck's orders, and rendezvous
before moonrise at his father's barn on
the manor. Sergeant Lincoln goes with
me. Jierck will name a place where
he'll meet me at sunrise. We shall have
all day tomorrow to see how the land
lies and the night to do our job in.
Now, then, shake hands around and go
ahead!"

Dash it, ma'atar Kerr repeated—his
in his time, dashed freely—do you
to hint the girl is not food at msf
"Fond 1 she adores you. See ho^r jeal-
m she is! She cannot leave yon one
moment."
"I'd have yon to know, madam, with
your sneer, that better blood than your
daughter have been fond of me."
"Why didn't Adonis stay in the home
market then instead of putting himself
in the provincial?"
"You know why! I don't make any
secret of my debts and my peccadillos.
Yon know as much about me as 1 do
abont you, my mother-in-law."
She winced a little at this coarse
familiarity. It was part of her inevit-
able punishment to be bo treated. Ah!
how bitterly she remembered, at such
words, the reverent courtesy of her hus-
band, how bitterly, his pitying tender-
ness, even when she had dishonored him,
so far as his honor was in her power!
But she hardened herself against these
riaemories, and her vindictiveness against
that daughter of his grew more cruel.
"You must allow," continued Ken-,
"that yon get me dem cheap."
"Cheap!" she rejoined. "Cheap with
the debts and the peccadillos! Cheap,
white feather and all!"
"Who says I ever showed the white
feather?" roared Kerr. "That's one of
that muscadin Jack Andre's lies. He
wants my place as adjutant to Sir Henry.
Bah! the shopkeeping, play acting,
rhyme writing milksop! he'd better keep
his Swiss jaws shut and not slander a
British nobleman!"
"Nobleman!" says his hoetem, evi-
dently taking pleasure in galling her
conspirator; "I thought you were only a
peer's third son."
"There are but three lives between m»
and the earldom—an old gouty life,
Tom's jocky life and Dick's drunken
one. Yonr daughter will be Countess of
Bendigh one of theee days, and you'd
both better be careful how yon treat me."
"How could I treat yoa better? I give
yoa the prettiest girl in the province,
with the prettiest portion."
"Have I got to toll yon again that not
every man would take your daughter?
You needn't look so fierce about it."
She did look fierce. She looked—la

Kerr itood before the fire making a pic-
ture of himself.
• • • Breakfast at Brothertoft on
the morning of Putnam's council, and
the dinner to Clinton was not a very
cheerful meal. Mother and daughter
were silent. Kerr took his cue and
played knife and fork.
Lucy left the room immediately after
breakfast.
"My pretty Lucy seems to have the
megrims," said Major Kerr. "Is that
on the cards for a blushing bride?"
"She sighs for the hour when Adonis
shall name her his," replied the mother,
with a half sneer.
"Confound it, madam! I believe yon
are laughing at me," the blowsy Adonis
grumbled.
He lifted himself from the table and
swaggered off to the fire with a gorged
movement He probably had never seen
a turkey buuard lounging away from
carrion, but he unconsciously imitated
that unattractive fowl.
The debris of his meal, the husks of
what he did eat, remained in an un-
pleasant huddle on the table, proving
that a great, groas feeder had been the**.
He stood before the fire, a big red ob-
ject, the type of many Englishmen who
were sent over in the Revolution to dis-
enchant us with monarchy. The chances
are nearly ten to one in favor of an Eng-
lishman's being a gentleman. Our moth-
er country aeemed to have carefully dec-
imated her civil and military service of says the hostess
its brutes to do the dirty work of flog- ~'1" ' ""
ging the Continentals.
Kerr stood before the fire, making a
picture of himself.
A handsome animal. Other women
might call him le bel homme without
Mrs. Brothertoft's tone of contempt He
had evidently given the artists of the
alcoholic school—brandy and that broth-
erhood—frequent sittings. They paint
rubicund, and had not been chary of
carnations in his case. His red uniform
jacket gave him the air of an overgrown
boy. Bat not a frank, merry one; nor
even an oafish, well meaning dolt of a
chap. This great boy is a bully. Smaller
urchins would suffer under thumb.
He would crush a butterfly, or indeed
anything gentle and tender, without
much ceremony.
Bo Mra. Brothertoft seemed to think
as she sarveyed him, posed there for In-
spection.
She smiled to herself and thought
"This aausual tyrant will prsssotly gits rilrJ
She moved to the door.
Place aux heros!
Today the lady of Brothertoft manor
dines Sir Henry Clinton and suite
All is ready and Lady Brothertoft—so
she loves to be called—awaits her dis-
tinguished guests in her grandest attire.
But, calm and stately as she sits
there is now miserable panic and now
cruel hate in her heart; for all the time
she is whispering to herself i
"Lucy did not kiss me. It is the first
time in all her life. Edwin Brothertoft's
daughter has discovered at last what I
am. Did he come in a dream and tell
her?"
Then she would raise her eyes as far
as those fair hands lying in her daugh-
ter's lap—no higher, no higher, or tho
daughter would face her—and think of
the wedding ring that her plot is pres-
ently to force upon one of those locked
fingers. She could hardly keep back a
scream of wild triumph at the thought.
So the mother sits and holds her
peace, such as it is. The daughter
waits in a strange dream of patience.
Major Kerr swaggers about, admires
his legs, feels embarrassed before his
mute betrothed, looks at his watch and
grumbles, "It's half past two. Dinner's
three, sharp. The soup will be spoiled
if they don't show presently." f * *
And now the gay party enters the
dining room at Brothes®ft manor.
How bright the sunbeams of the Octo-
ber afternoon, ricochetting from the
smooth Hudson into the windows, gleam
on the epaulets and buttons of a dozen
gorgeous officers! One special ray is
clearly detailed to signalize that star on
Sir Henry Clinton's left breast The
room is aflame with scarlet. Certainly
these flamboyant heroes will presently
consume away every vestige of a rebel
army. Surely, after a parry or two
against these dress swords, the cham-
pions of freedom will drop their points
and yield their naoks to the halter.
Each elaborate fine gentleman, too, of
all this bandboxy company is crowned
with victor bays. They plucked them
only t'other day across the river on the
ramparts of Forts Clinton and Mont-
gomery. When Jack Burgoyne sends
down kis bunch of laurfcl from Saratoga
the whole are to be tied np in one big
bouquet and dispatched to tickle the
nose and the heart of Farmer George at
Windsor castle.
8ir Henry Clinton—no lees—Caesar
ipse—hands in the grand hostess and
takes his seat at her right. How jolly
be looks, the fat little man! How his
round face shines, and his proturberant
nose begins to glow with inhaling the
steam of the feast!
"I mast havs yon on my left, ad-
to a hearty
gentleman in naval uniform.
"Thank yon for my promotion, mad-
am," rejoins Commodore Hotham, drop-
ping into his place.
At the head of her table, then, sits
Lady Brothertoft, frond and handsome,
flanked by the two qUefs. And down
on either side the guests dispose them-
selves in be laureled vista.
Major Kerr takes the foot of the table.
He carves well for everybody and beet
tot Mmaslf. Two spoonfuls of sauce
blanche float his choice portion of the
Albany beef. The liver of the turkey
he accepts as carver's perquisites. And
when he comes to cat the saddle of veni-
son plenty of delicate little scrape quite
too small to offer to others find their
way to his plate.
Lucy is at his right. What? in high
spirits? in gay ookrs? Has she so soon
become a hypecrit# aad
Why,,the little dissembler
rily and flirts audaciously! Laughs
Ah! there are bittef tears jast be-
neath that laugh! If yoa call tolerating
compliments from that yotmg captain
at her right flirting, then she is flirting,
and so conceals her disgust of her be-
trothed.
And who is that young captain? He
stole into the chair at Lucy's right and
began to talk sentiment before he had
had his soup. Who is this fine gentle-
man of twenty-six, with the oval face,
the regular features, the-slightly super-
cilious mouth, the dimpled chin, the
hair so carefully powde.ed and queued?
Who is this elegant petit maitre? With
what studied gesture he airs his rufflesl
How fluently he rattles! How easily he
improvises jingle! He quotes French
as if it were his mother tongue. He
smiles and sighs like an accomplished
lady killer. Who is he?
Major Emerick, of the Hessian Chas-
seurs, looks across the table at this gay
rattle and then whispers to his own
neighbor, Lord Rawdon, "Zee dat dab
maggaroni, Chack Antre; how lie bak>-
lubb to de breddy Lucie! Bajor Gurr
will bide off his 'ead breddy sood."
"Kerr may glower and look liko s
cannibal," Rawdon returned, in a whis-
per, "but he will not eat Jack Andre'A
head so long as there's any of the veni-
son left."
"I dinked Chack was id Bedsylvadia
or Cheney," says Emerick, wiping tba;
enormous mustache of his—a coarso
Hessian article, planted like a bushy
abattis before his mouth.
"He was." replied Rawdon, "and 1
don't see how he has been able to get
here so soon, unless that is his eidolon,
his wraith and moves like the ghost in
Hamlet. I suppose he heard that Kerr
was going to marry the heiress and there
would be an adjutancy looking for an
adjutant and has posted np to offer him-
self. He didn't know I was to have it.
Jack is in too much hurry to be a great
man, His vanity will get him into a
scrape some of these days."
Captain Andre whispered soft nothing*
to Lucy. And though Herr glowered
truculently, she listened, much to the
amusement of Emerick and Rawdon.
Lucky, perhaps, for the daughter that
mamma, at the head of the table, did
not detect this byplay! She might have
scented revolt and hastened the mar-
riage. An hour would have brought
the Tartar's chaplain; five minutes would
have clothed him in his limp surplice,
and in five more Lucy, still quelled by
the old tyranny, would have stammered
"love, honor and obey"—and "die."
She was not always very attentive to
her butterfly companion.
Sometimes she bent forward and
looked at her mother, sitting in all her
glory between army and navy, and the
daughter's cheeks bnrned with shame.
She longed to fly away from all this
splendor, somewhither where she could
dwell innocently and weep away the in-
finite sorrow in her gentle heart. II
she had not been too bewildered by her
throng of battling hopes and fears with-
in, by the clatter of the feast and Jack
Andre's mischianza of gossip and com-
pliment, her notions of right and wrong,
of crime and punishment, would havt
become sadly confused.
Questions did indeed drift across hei
mind.
"I do not succeed in entertaining you,
fair lady," says Andre. "Your thought*
are all for that happy fellow besid*
you," and he looked with a little sneei
toward Kerr, who was applying te
Bottle for the boon of wit.
A feeling of utter despair came ovei
poor Lucy, as she turned involuntarily
and also glanced at the animal. Then
she drew away indignantly from th*
man who had put this little stab intc
her heart.
"Are there no gentlemen in the world?"
she thought. "Do men dare to speak sc
and look so at other young ladies?"
"Loog ad de breddy meess," says
Emerick, holding a wine glass before
his bushy abatis as a cover. "Zhe h
nod babbie wid Chack nor wid Gurr!"
"A dozen fellows," Rawdon rejoined,
behind his glass, "of better blood than
Jack and better hearts than Kerr would
have cut in there long ago. The daugh
ter is as sweet and pure as a lily. Bnt
who dares marry such a mother-in-law?"
—and he shrugged his shoulders expres-
sively toward the hostess.
The hostess now rose and beckoned
her daughter.
"I leave you, gentlemen, to youi
toasts," she said. "Major Kerr will be
my representative."
She moved to the door. Army and
navy, Albion and Hesse, all sprang to
open for her. A murmur of admiration
for her beauty and bearing applauded
the exit. Lady Brothertoft seemed to
be at her climax.
Kerr of course did not let the toast*
lag.
"The king, gentlemen!"
Cheers! Drank cyathis plenis.
8ir Henry CMnton rises, gleaming star,
red nose and all and proposes, "Our host-
ess!" Bumpers and uproar!
Then they load and fire, fast and furi-
ous. Bottle can hardly gallop fast
enough to supply ammunition.
"The army!" "Hooray, hooray!
Speech from Lord Rawdon!"
"The navy!" "Three cheers for Com-
modore Hotham!"
"The captured forts!" Drank in si-
lence to the memory of Colonel Camp-
bell and Count Grabowski, killed"there.
"Luck to Jack Burgoyner "Pouting
Jack," Andre suggests. "May he be s
spiler to Schuyler, and fling Gates over
the hedge into the ditch f" Laughter and
aheers, and immense rattling of glasses
on the table.

In setting forth the advantages of a city to attract capital and
immigration it is too much the style to give possibilities for facts,
and to depend upon fancy rather than figures. The city of Gaines*
ville has heretofore been very modest in announcing 10 the great
migratory public its claims to a part of the attention tb lis being be-
stowed upon new and growing places.
Surroundings.
Gainesville, the county seat of Oooke, is near the center of th
county, six miles south of Red river. On all sides are rich agricul
tural lands. These lands produce almost anything that is gro-yn in
North America. The great staple productions are wheat, cotton,
corn, oats, barley, millet and other grasses.
Oooke county raises annually about 20,000 bales of cotton. This
is handled at Gainesville and usually brings about $800,000 in eash.
The wheat crop is large, while cattle raising and beef shipping also
bring in large amounts of money.
The Indian Territory, just north of Gainesville, is opening npand
her wholesale merchants are doing a large trade with that country.
All she needs to control the trade of a large portion ofthf.fcrich
conntry is capital enough to handle the wholesale trade in all lines of
goods.
Not a Mushroom Town.
Gainesville is not one of those "Jonah's gourd vine" places
made of tenta and box honseB ready to be polled np and moved away
as soon as some temporary attraction ceases. It is built to stay.
It was fonnded in 1849, but like most towns on the wild frontier,
without railroads and far from navigation, it whs only a small village
for many years.
Public Works.
She has a system of street railways, telephone exchange, gas and
electric light works, etc.
The water system is the best in the
perhaps of Waco, both in the quality of
efficiency of the machinery.
Solid Growth.
Gainesville is a solid, well established place^that has reached ita
present position by a steady, healthy growth.
But it has by no means reached its limit. It possibilities
arising from its position and from other causes that ought to, and
we believe will, make it one of the best and most thriving towns4 in
the state.

Her Needs.
She needs more capital in the wholesale business to hold the
trade of the country tributary to her.
She needs several faotories, mills, etc. A good obtton seed oil
mill is one of her pressing needs. The cotton seed is at our doors and
we have the cattle to fatten on the oil cake. We need a canning
factory to put up the fruits and vegetables, which our farmers allow
to waste every year. A tannery could find all the hides it could us»
and a market for all the leather it could make.
Various other enterprises would pay here, and we need men ot
brains, skill and capital to help us occupy the field that promises^
such good returns.
Every man who is not a drone can find an opening here no mat-
ter whether his capital consists in skill, muscle or money.

Her wholesale and retail trade is large. Several of her business
bouses will compare favorably with those of cities five times her
size. She has three National banks, with a capital of over $500,000
Railroads.
Gainesville's first road was the Denison and Pacific, built from
Denison and reaching here In 1879. It was the terminus of thWu
road until 1886, when the great Santa Fe system built through frem
Galveston and connected with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
from the north. Then the Gainesville, Henrietta and Western was
built from here to Henrietta, where it connects with the Fort Worth
and Denver and gives us connections with the Panhandle and New
Mexico.
The Santa Fe has its division headquarters, round house and
machine shops here. These shops sre of great advantage to ns from
the number of men employed and paid and the general air of business
they give the city.
Recently the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, which had absorbed
both the Denison and Pacifio and the (Jainesville, Henrietta and
Western, has filed its charter and combined them both into the great
M., K. & T. system. "*
These roads give us outlets in all directions.
No Better Place Can Be Found

-eguhtted city iu which to make a home or start a business.
To tboRe who seek such a place we say: You will not have to
U'vdop untried possibilities, but you will find a well regulated, grow*
np city not yet large enough for the country, whoae business ought
■o be controlled by it. You will find a good opening and^a hearty
welcome from her people.

Schools.
No city in tbe United States has a better system of graded
schools and high schools.
We have four splendid brick school bnildings costing near $100,-
000. There are about 1200 children in attendance, and a splendid
corps of competeut and well paid teachers have charge of them.
Then we have the Gainesville College with a good attendance
and a fine corps of teachers.
Also the Texas Synodical College, which has just been taken
charge of by by the Presbyterian Synod of Texas, and will now be-
perhaps the finest female school in Texaa.
