The next day Sunday, tho twenty eighth of Juno, 1778 Pawned with cloudless sky, hpt, sultry, the warmest day of the year. Not a breath of air stirred tho leaves, and In tho trco branches above us birds sang gleeful IT. Before daybreak w, who hnd been permitted to sleop for a few hours, were aroused by the sentries, and, In tho gray dawn, partook of a meager breakfast. A frcah supply of ammunl tlon was brought up and. distributed among tho men, and, beforo sunrise, we wero In lino, stripped for a hot day's work, eagerly awaiting orders. I can make no protenso at describ ing in any detail, or sequence, tho memorablo action at Monmouth Court House, but must content myself with depleting what little I saw upon tho Urlng lino of Maxwell's brigade. We advanced slowly eastward over a gent ly rolling country, diversified by small groves. In advanco was a thin lino of skirmishers, and to left and right wero Dickinson's and Wayne's men, their muskets gleaming In tho sun light. Early tho rumor crept about amonij us that Leo bad como up dur ing the night with fresh troops, and assumed command. Who led us was of but small conse quence, however, as thoro was now no doubt In any mind but what battle was Inevitable. Already to the Routh echoed a sound of firing where Mor gan had uncovered a column of Dra goons. Then a courier from Dickin son dashed along our rear seeking Leo, scattering broadcast the welcomo news that Knyphausen and his Hes sians, the van of the British move ment, were approaching. With a cheer of anticipation, the solders flung asldo every article possible to discard, and pressed recklessly forward. Beforo wo moved a mile my horso beenmo so lame, I was obliged to dismount, and proceed on foot. Never havo I experi enced a hatter sun, or a moro aultrv air. Rapid marching was ImpossiDie, yet by nine o'clock wo had passed tho Freehold meeting house, nnd were halted in tho protection of a consider ublo wood, tho men dropping to the ground In tho grateful shadow Max. well camo along back of our lino, his horse walking slowly, as Uio gonoral mopped hlB streaming red face. He failed to recogntro mo among tho otlv ens until I stepped out Into the boiling 1i Aiyr of Doubt PARRISH Jt$wIIcsinr'Don)C 42bPTaaoraxjftvCa;ri sun, and spoke: "Whnt Is that firing to tho right, general! Aro tho Jersey mllltta In no- uonT" Ho drew up his horso with a Jerk "Thnt you, Lawrence! Can't tell anybody In this shirtsleeve brlgado, What' become of your horso!" "Gave out yesterday, Mr. Have been on foot over since. It It going to be a fight!" Tho grip of hi hand tightened on tho saddlo pommel, hi eyes following tho Irregular lino of exhausted mca "Yes, when Wnshlngtou gets up; you need never doubt that.

"He has ever been a reck less fighter. Has the man lost his wltsr Maxwell leaned OTer, so his words should not carry beyond my car. "Tls envy of Washington, to my mind," ho said soberly. "He has op posed every plan In council, imagin ing, no doubt, a falturo of campaign may mako him tho commanderln-chlcl. There comes a courier now." The fellow was so streaked with dust as to bo scarcely recognizable, and ho wiped tho perspiration from his eyes to staro Into our faces. "General Maxwell!" -Yes; what Is Itr "Compliments of Oenoral Lee, sir, and you will rctlro your troops toward the Freehold Meeting House, forming connection there with General Scott." "Retreat! Good God, nun! wo haven't tired a shot." "Thoso were tho orders, sir. It that Scott, over yondcrr" Maxwell codded, too angered for words. Then, as tho courier galloped .away, turned In his Baddta. "By heaven! I supposo wo must do It, Lawrence. But what folly I What aslnlnltyl Wo'vo got tho Redcoats hemmed In, and did you over seo a tetter field? Pray God I may hear Washington when ho comes up.

Wo gavo the orders, and tbe rata fell back sullenly, swearing fiercely as they caught tho rebulllous spirit ot their officers. Scarcely able to breathe in tho hot, stagnant air, caked with foul mud to thownlst, wo attained the higher ground, and dropped helpless, Even from hero the enemy vera In visible, although wo could see the smoke of their guns, and hear distant crackle of musketry. I sat up, star Jng through tho heat waves toward tho eminence on the left where Wayno's men remained, showing dim ly against tho trees. A group of horse men were riding down tho slope, heading toward our lino. As they came- Into tho sandy plain below and skirted the morass, I recognlted Le in advance, mounted on a black horm flecked with foam. Twice he paused, gating across the hills through leveled field glasses, and then rode up the steep ascent to our rear. Maxwell met him not twenty feet from where I lay. "What does this mean, slrT" Lee thuinlcrrd hoarsely. "Why are your men lying strewn about In this unsol dlerly manner, General Maxwell?" Are you unaware, sir, that we are In the presence of tho enemy! Maxwell's face fairly blazed, as he straightened In tho saddle, but before his lips could form an answer, a sud den chc-or burst out from the crest of the hill, and I saw men leaping to their feet, and waving their hats. The next Instant across the summit came Washington, a dozen officers clatter Ing behind, his fsco stern-set and white, as ho rodo straight toward Lee. "What la the meaning of this re treat. General Le My God. sir. how no you account tor sucn atsoruer nun confusion!" he exclaimed, his voire ringing above tho uproar, his angry eyes biasing Into Lee's face. "Answer me." Tho other muttered somo reply 1 failed to catch. "Thai's not true." returned Wash' ington, every word stinging like a whip. "It was merely a covering party which attacked you. Why did you ac cept command, sir, unless you Intend led to fight 7" "I did not deem It prudent, General Washington, to bring on a general en gagement." "You were to obey my orders, sir, and you know whnt they wero. Seel (They aro coming now!" Ho wheeled his horso about, point ing with otto hand across tho valley. "Major Cain, havo Oswald bring up his guns at onco; Lieutenant McNeill, ride to Ramsey nnd Stewart; have their troops on the ridge within ten minutes General Maxwell, these are .your men?" "Thoy nre, sir." "Hold this line at any cost, the re serves will bo up presently." As he drew his horso about he again camo faco to faco with Lee, who sat his saddlo sullenly, his gate on thi ground. Washington looked at ''him a moment, evidently not knowing what to say. Then be asked quietly: "Will you retain command on this 'height, or, not, slrt" "It Is rqual to mo where I com imand." .' "Then I expect you will take propot means ror chocking the enemy." "I shall not be the first to leavo the ground; your orders shall be obeyed." What followed was but a medley ol sight and sound., I saw Washington rldo to tho left; heard Leo glvo a hur ried order, or two; then I was at the rear of our own line strengthening It 'for assault. There was UtUe enough lUme left. Under tha smoke of several batter ies, whoso shells were ripping open tho side of tho hill, the British wcr advancing In double lino, the sun gleaming on their bayonets, and re vealing tho uniforms of different corps. "Steady, menl Steady!" voice after volco caught up the command. "Hold your nrei" "Walt until Ihey reach that fallen trco i" I added.
