Third S' Pike St. ♦ * * ♦ Seattle, Wash.
ONE AFTERNOON during the
American Revolution Lieut
Ernest Travers, a BWtlsh offi
cer, was riding ovet the pla
teau on which Morristown, TN. *s
built, approaching a place ca0ed Back
ing ridge. There was nothing In h,s
dress to Indicate that he was a soldier,
for he was In mnftl. On reaching Back
Thera Was Nothing to Indicate That
He Was a Soldier.
Ing ridge he turned into a road leading
to the residence of a gentleman named
Harrington, a patriot himself, but
whose family were all bitter enemies
of the Revolution.
Lieutenant Travers had been noti
fied by Isabel HarriDgton, to whom he
was betrothed, that her father would
be away from home that day.and asked
him to come to see her. She was
waiting for him and selng him ap
proach signaled him that he might
c-otne to the house without risk. Ty
ing bis horse to a hitching post at the
gate, he went up the walk.
“I asked you to come today,” said
the lady, “first, because father is
away, secondly because I wfcih to aid
the king’s cause through you.”
“I hope you are not going to enlist
me for a spy,” said the young man.
"I am ready to serve my king as a
soldier, but spying Is not to my taste.”
“So you said in your letter when I
suggsted your coming. Well, we will
not discuss that matteria|.4pay at
least enjoy your visit." 7*’
“Is your father expected to return
soon?" asked the young man.
“I don't know; why do you ask?”
“It would have been Impossible for
me to come from New York to your
house so near Washington’s headquar
ters in uniform without meeting rebel
. troops. You see I am in citizen’*
dress. If captured clothed as I am, I
would be condemned and hung as a
spy.”'
The girl shuddered. ?
A moment later from her seat be
side a window she espied her father
and a man whom she recognized as
General Washington dismounting from
their horses in front of the gate.
“Heavens I” she exclaimed. “You
are lost!“
Travers saw what she had seen.
She begged him to permit her to hide
him but he would not
“I am not a spy,” he said; “if I were
found in hiding It would go hard with
me. It is bad enough as it is without
making it worse. Besides, my horse
has given me away. They know that
some one is within. Should I take to
flight, if caught I would surely be
considered a spy.”
At this moment Mr. Harrington and
General Washington started for the

house. When they entered Isabel in
troduced Lieutenant Travers as Mr.
Archibald. Her father looked at the
visitor suspiciously; he did not re
member to have seen him there before.
“His excellency,” said Harrington,
“and I are here for a conference. We
will go into my den for the purpose.”
Then in a different tone, “But Isabel,
what Is the matter with you?”
The girl was so frightened that she
trembled. Washington, who suspected
from the visitor's refined appearance
that he- was a Tory, if not a British
officer, said to him :
“Men of your age, sir, are needed
In our army.”
Travers saw that Isabel’s want of
self-control had started what would
kna ns an exposure. He chose a dig
nified, a manly course.
“General," he said, “to sail under
false colors is not to my tuste. I am
a lieutenant In the king’s army. I
came here In obedience to Miss Har
rington’s Invitation to visit her."
“Are you aware, sir, that to be found
so near our army in citizen’s dress in
dicates that you are looking for in
formation?*’
“I am aware. General, that I am in
a position to be considered a spy, but
I am simply a visitor at the house of
Mr. Harrington, if my word Is not suf
ficient, I may be searched.”
“If Information concerning our
forces were found on you, sir, it would
prove the case against you. But if
such Information were not found on
you, that would not exonerate you.”
The matter was embarrassing for
the general. Travers had been caught
in Mr. Harrington’s house, a visitor to
Miss Harrington, whose father was a
patriot, a friend of Washington's, and
aiding in every way within his power
the cause of the colonies.
“Give me your word of honor, sir,
not to leave this place,” said the gen
eral. “I will withdraw to another
room with Mr. Harrington and when
I return will announce my intentions
In regard to you."
“Do not consider me or my daughter
in this matter, general," Interposed
Mr. Harrington.
“In that case,” said the general, “I
consider it my duty to send for a de
tachment to take your guest into cus
tody.”
At this Isabel broke down. Drop
ping on her knees before the genera)
she begged him to permit her lover
to depart. Washington’s heart whs
touched by her appeal, but this did not
prevent his doing his duty.
“Have you any proof,” be asked,
“that this gentleman is not here for
military information?”
“I will confess. I .have been collect
ing information of your forces and
wrote Lieutenant Travers to come for
it. He replied—"
