Some have declared that the man who so suddenly left the tavern was a Tory cousin to Hale, and saw at once through the patriot's disguise; that, being quite a rascal, he hurried away to get word to the British camp. There seems to be no good reason, however, to believe that the fellow was a kinsman. However this may be, the British captured Captain Hale in disguise.
This lock shall be my pennon; and what Scotsman will look on that, and shrink from his colors! Here, Helen, my child," cried he, addressing the young lady, "before to-morrow's dawn, have this hair wrought into my banner. It will be a patriot's standard; and let his own irresistible words be the motto-God armeth me." Helen advanced with awestruck trepidation.
When they passed by the National Guard, the big blond waved his cap in the air, furiously shouting at the top of his lungs: "Long live the Republic!" But once more the fanatical patriot's enthusiasm fell flat. The Bretons were marching into danger partly from desire, but more from duty and discipline.
Nor do I claim any particular share of glory in the great engagements with the enemy.

Through roundabout channels, he let his chief editorial writer understand that, when the final onset was timed, The Patriot's editorial page would be expected to lead the charge with the "spear that knows no brother." Banneker would appreciate that his own interests, almost as much as his chief's, were committed to the overthrow of Willis Enderby. Happiness promised for the near future, however.
So she had dreamed and had fondly pictured herself as doing both a patriot's and a Christian's duty in the work in which she had been engaged.
Inspruck! a thousand recollections flash across us, as we pronounce the word! We were there at a memorable period; when the body of the hero of the Tyrol the brave, the simple-minded Anderl Hofer was removed from Mantua, where he so nobly met a patriot's death, to the capital of the country, which he had so gallantly defended.
