JANICE MEREDITH
(PAUL LEICESTER FORD)
She would have shared Lord Cl owes’b caret ras a spy, but hero the faithful bondservant, Charles, stepped in.
Jkflnre Lambert Meredith held twe
cards up his slaev. that always drew
a full house. First, was the 30,000 fat
acres of land, and second was the s11a>
queen, Janice, his daughter, the best
looking girl la ar around Brunswick,
N. J.
In 1744 a shipload of jailbirds aaJ
hopd servants arrived in the American
colonies,' many of whose descendants
still Insist today that the name of the
ship was the Mayflower. Squire Mere
dith bought five years' service of one
of the passengers, a bondservant named
Charles Fownes, and brought him to
his manor, Greenwood, to serve as
manicurist to the Squire’s horsos.
Janice, of an impressionable age,
eager to progress in the art of flirting,
glowed her glowing eye toward
Charles, and be, bondservant though he
was, fell for her like a bottle of hootch
before the Purity Squad. Charles had
a /Jeep, dark mystery in his life, and
a diamond-studded miniature in his
shirt. He gave Janice the minature,
but she had to wait for the secret.
JANICE ALMOST PLAYS
HI-SPY WITH A LORD
Suddenly, in the peaceful New Jer
sey town, the throbbing of a drum was
heard. America was tuning up for the
Revolution. Charles, the bondservant,
was drilling troops on his afternoons
off, and oven at night. Squire Mere
dith, who boasted that tea was drunk
in his house in spite of the patriotic
boycott, was put in stocks.
Meantime, Janice had been promised
in marriage to a lanky Jersey mosquito
named Philemon Hepnion, and to es
cape this fate she consented to elope
{ with Lord Ciowee, a guest at Green
wood, who was sailing under the
bourgeois name of Evatt. She would
* have shared Lord Clowe’s career as a
spy, but here the faithful bondservant,
Charles, stepped In. He returned Janice
to her fathePe home, and took Evatt as
a prisoner.
Fownes was taking French leave of
the Squire in order to transport to
Washington's headquarters a supply of
powder that the people of Brunswick
refused to give np at a reasonable war
time. figtfve. Soon after, the Squire re
ceived the sum he had paid for his
bondservant, and General Washington
received a new aide named Jack Brere
ton.
Greenwood was a ringside location
for the martial activties that ensued.
Janice flirted first with one army and
then the other, as the opposing sides
swooped down on her father’s fodder
and smoked meat.
On one of these expeditions. Sir Wil
liam Howe stopped at Greenwood and
paid particular attention to Squire
Meredith's Madeira and his daughter.

THE DRAGONS BREAK
UP A WEDDING
Time and again, Squire Meredith war
captured and once he was tarred and
feathered for his royalist proclivities
He BWQrt both armies were fighting
him because they wanted to marry
Janice, and she was the cause of the
whole Revolution. He determined to
tr.arry her quickly and quietly to Phile
mon, but Jack Brereton, otherwise
•Charles,'' happened ip with Light
Horse 1/ee and a troop of dragoons while
the prenuptial feast Was in progress.
Philemon, a ^eftenant with the British
forces, was taken prisoner, along with
other officers who were enjoying the
hospitality of Greenwood.
The Americans eventually made it so
hot for the Tory Squire, that Janico
and the family moved to Royaltsr
headquarters in Philadelphia. Bord
Clowes, who had grown rich war profi
teering and selling slaves, loaned
Squire Meredith a lot of money and
demanded Janice as collateral. Janice
had completely lost her taste for His
Lordship, and yearned for her simple
Philemon back.
"Philemon, 0, Philemon, where are
your’ she motored.
"He is dead, mocked the evil lord.
"He was shot in the skirmish at Nar
raganBett."
"Dead? That’s no excuse,” exclaimed
Janice, petulantly. "I need him.”
Janice sold the miniature she had
got from Charles and paid her father’s
debt so she wouldn’t have to marry the
Lord. Brereton, who had heard that
she was again about to be forced Into
a marriage, ventured into Philadel
phia. But he was captured as a spv
and haled before 8ir William Howe.
Mrs. Loring happened to be present.
THE MINIATURE
MYSTERY AGAIN
“Chaj-lie, my Charlie!" she cried. And
Janice recognised the woman whose
picture had been in the miniature
which Brereton had given her.
Through the influence of Mrs. Bor
ing, he was released and given a pass
back to the American lines.
Not long afterward, Squire Mereditn
was again captured by the Americans
and nominated .for the gallows. Brere
ton, as aide to Washington, secured
his pardon at the risk of court-martial,
and the Squire was sent to Virginia as
a war prisoner.
The vicissitudes of war finally landed
Janice at Yorktown, where her family
lived in a dugout during the siege.
When the Merediths returned to Green
wood after the surrender of the British,
they found the place had been sold to
Philemon Hennion's father. Jack Brere

junk bouses.
ton, quick to the rescue, arranged to have
old llennlon shot for selling fresh vege
tables to the British, and also captured
Phil. Janice again threatened to marry
Philemon, because she was peeved at
Brereton for not having done more for
her father. But when Hady Washington
explained how Brereton had faced court
martial for doing what he had done In
saving the Squire's ne*k, -Janice fell on
her patient lover’s shoulder and said, “I
surrender.”
The mystery of the miniature was ex

night when she had left his regiment,
back in England, he had discovered that
Sir William Howe was his father. _
