But she's beginning to take notice of the fly now. Give me another season, and I'll have her landed." Good old Beekman! Little did he think But I must not interrupt the story with moral reflections. The preparations that he made for his final effort at conversion were thorough and prudent.
"I am Colonel Beekman, at the head of a regular force," was the answer, "and if, as I suspect, you are Major Willoughby, you know you are safe. In the name of Congress, I command all good citizens to keep the peace, or they will meet with punishment for their contumacy."
