COON we broke camp at ( # Montmorency and took ship for Point Levis and the Point of Orleans, Thfn followed a short perlod of great doubt to many of us, but soon we were gathered above the town for a decisive blow. Everybody seemed to feel that the end was com- ing—the end of the French power in Quebec or the end of our attempt to destroy It, Many of our heaviest bat- teries had been taken from their for- mer resting places. The bombardment sank to nothing, and the silence of the great guns, the anxlety on the |faces of all seemed certain portents of a great attempt. The waning |summer, the browning of the leaves, the increasing chill of the night alr, too, told us it was time to do what we intended to do or we would soon jhave & Quebec winter as well as the French to fight. night of the 12th of Geptember came, and we were gathered tn a fleet in the river, but we had a bigger fleet down below, We above the town knew that a decisive hour was at hand. When the dark came on, a can- non from the fleet below thundered, {t was followed by another and then another, and then the crash of whole broadsides, and river and shore echoed with the roar of the fleet's at guns. But above the town we who were to do the real work lay tn darkness ind silence, while the mock combat |below thundered and blazed and Montcalm hurried his troops to the Beauport shore to meet the attack he ed there, While the sailors expending the King’s powder ‘and ball at a tremendous rate, we waited till turn of tide, and at 2 o'clock in the morning I saw two lan- The | were terns go up to the maintop of the flagship. Then we climbed into our boats and embarked on our perilous venture. Down the broad river we went, a silent procession, The stara were out, but the shores were in gloom. We rounded @ headland and disem- barked upon a strip of sand with as ttle noise as many men can make, Above us towered the black cliffs, steep, but not too steep for agile men to climb, though the French never thought of an army coming up there, nor the English either, until the last hour. A call was made for volunteers, ac- tive men to lead the way up the cliffs into the blackness beyond. Zeb and I Pressed forward, and a smart bunch of us, a score or more, began the steep and rough ascent. It was a task of honor, but not of ease. Bruises were plentiful, and we swore under our breath. 1 looked back and saw the uniforms of the men behind me showing through the darkness like a huge red smudge. There was a thump, and somebody eried, “the French!" But it was only @ stone that an incautious soldier had set rolling, It continued to roll until it passed out of hearing, and for aught I know rolled on until it found the bottom of the river. “If a little stone stirs us up like that, what would the French army do?” said Zeb, “Let's not discuss what we don't wish to see Just yet,” I replied “I think I see the top of this pesky cliff," rejoined Zeb, “an’ darned glad ['ll be when we get there,” 1 expected momentarily to hear shots from above, but there was none, Only the exclamations and the scrap- ing noises made by climbing men came to us. At last I seized a pro- Jecting stone and drew myself up the last foot of the steep. Zeb and I and two or three others nd together upon the summit of the cliff, “— guess we're first up,” said the lad; “but here are the boys comin’ huddiin’ after us." Up they came, and the cliff soon had a red fringe where the little van- guard gathered, In the faint light we saw a cluster of tents but a short distance awa We made a rush for them, and three or four scattering shots were fired at us. We saw some men springing out of the tents looking in the gloom like gigantic jumping jacks. Somebody fired at one of the leaping figures and put @ bullet througn nia heel and an end to his filght at the same time, When we came up to him we found it was Vergor, the commander of tho post, wav had been sleeping calmly in his tent when he should have been watching for us. We took some of his men, but the others fled ao fast that we could not have caught them unless we had been winged. Our shots were the happy signal to those below that the summit was ours, and directly the big red smudge of the red-breasted army climbing after us appeared on the edge of the cliff, I saw Gen, Wolfe himself, and was near enough to mark the eager and joyful flush on his worn face, Some of our men were detailed to seize the nearest batteries, I re- mained with the steadily increasing army gathering in line of battle on the heights, Zcb had gone prowling off toward Quebec, and I had to do only that waiting which !s so largo @ part of a@ soldier's work. Tt was not yet day, and we who stood on the heights knew very little of what was passing. We could hear the distant cannon ehots and the whispered words of each other, but neither told us anything, tell by the deepening hum and mur- mur that the numbers of our army on the heights were Increasing, but what the French were preparing for us we could not say. We had performed one great feat and were exultant over {t, but I confess that 1 was not san- gulne even yet as to the chief event, 1 had seen two brave armies beaten by rashness and 1ll-judged attacks, and only by waiting could I know whether I was to see @ third meet the same fate. A ghostly figure seemed to rise out of the ground at my fect, and Zep Crane stood beside me, “What have you learned, what do you know, Zeb?" I asked eagerly, “Nothin’ except what's good,” he re- plied. “A peasant told me that Mont caim was still looking for us on the other side of the town,” Then he was gone to make his re- port to a colonel, and we continued to watt for the lazy day which to most of us ned to linger as if it would never come, But come it did at last, though it was gray with clouds, gloomy, and threatening, We were chill from the night and the damp of a cloudy morning, and the cheerless sight of a gray plain struck into the bone. The risir dawn revealed no enemies, but pre: ently a body of Canadians came out of the town and moved along the strand to our landing place. They were soon driven back, but the spat ter of the musketry and the shouts cleared our brains and stirred our THe FIEM We could P™ Showing How a Detective Unraveled the Web of Danger About a Beautiful Actress Will Begin on This Page May £1 | WILL HAVE To Go To Your DocTor FATTY 1AM GETTING Too THIn | WILL HAVE TO Go ToYour DOCTAR SKINNY 1AM GETTING Coperight, 1017, by the Prose Pobiahing OMBUS, Pro- feasor of Out- doorland, sat beneath a bush chuckling to him- set, The Profes- sor liked to play a Kittle joke at times, and to- night was one of these times, He came over the hill from Wide -Awake Land and when they arrived at the bush where Bombus was hiding romping they stopped suddenly, “What's that?” Bess asked of Bob, She seemed @ little afraid, Both listened and again heard the sound, “Croak, cro-ak.” Louder and louder It grew and Bess held Bob Ughtly by the hand. “I know what wo hear,” declared Bob, “It ea frog, Bess, only a frog!” Then out of the bush Jumped Bom- bus and stood before the children dressed in a green satin suit; they had never before seen Bombus look ao wonderful, “So It was a frog! Why, you dear innocents, it was I! Ha! hat” Bob and Bess laughed good na- turedly, Tho Professor's little joke was on them. He certainly could do wonderful imitations, Bombus then took off his iittle green cap, placed it upon the ground, passed his hand over it while mutter- ing strango words, and lo! it began to move, Not only that, but it also began to grow. a frog!

Quebec was but a mile away, but still we could not see it, A third of that distance from us a broken ridge cut the line of vision and like a defiant wall shut off Quebec from us. I saw an old fellow dressed like a Canadian peasant appear on 4 hillock and gaze at us for a minute as if we were some huge and curious beast.
