To the surprise of the Austrians, no one
i followed him from the tower. 800
In 4astouishment the Austrian Colonel
rode up to him, and asked him in French
why the garrison did not come out - =
81 am the garrison, Colonel" said the
soldier proudly.
What" exclaimed the Colonel, ssdo
you mean to tell us that you alone have
held that tower against me ?'
Il have that honor, Colonel" was the
reply.
What possessed you TO make such an
attempt, grenadier :"
''The honor of France was at stake"
The Colonel gazed at him for moment
with undisguised admiration then raising
his cap, hu said warmly: ''Grenadier,
salute you. You have proven yourself
the bravest of the braye.''
The officer caused all the arms which
La Iour D'Auvergne could not carry to
be collected, and sent them all, with the
gyenadier, into the French lines, with a
note relating the whole affair.
When the knowledge of it came to the
ears of Napoleon, he offered to promote
La Tour D'Auvergne, but the latter de-
cllned to accept the promotion, saying
that he preferred TO remain where he was.
This brave soldier met his death in an
action at Aberhausen, in June, 1900, and
the simple but expressive scene at roll call
IN his reg giment was commenced and con-
tlnued by the express command of the
Emperor himself

A Hunt After a $4,000 Pack
age of u. s. Bonds.

The Hartford Times tells curious story
! about package of some $4,000 in
| Government, bonds, which may be worth
relating AS we understand it, the bonds
were the property of a large wool house
in this city, and the package had been
taken by one of the partners for safe keep
ing 1t was afterwards decided to send
| the package to a branch establishment of
! the house, located in one of the Western
| cities and son of one of the partners
was deputed to get the bonds and take
them West. He procured the package at
the house where it had been left, on
street. 1t was in a tin box or case. He
wrapped it in paper, put it in his carpet
bag, and started for the business house of
the firm in another part of the city.
| On passing through Asylum street he
stopped at Casper Kreutzer's boot and
shoe shop, TO procure something in his
line and in making room for it in his car
pet bag, he took out the tin box wrapped
IN a paper and laid it for a momant on the
counter On adjusting his carpet bag he
forgot to put in the bonds, and left the
package on the counter. Nor did he
discovered the loss on going TO the firm s
house OF business, but after arranging his
affairs went of in the cars with his carpet
bag.
About month after his arrival at the
Vest the firm here sent him certain di-
rections Id regard to the sale of portion
OF the bonds. He not finding the package.
and thinking he must have left it in the
safe at home, telegraphed back that he
had no bonds. The firm then telegraphed
him to return home Immediately, for the
bonds were missing. 1t was his belief,
and theirs, too, that he had put the bonds
INTO the safe, and that somebody had
obtained access 70 IL, IN an ungarded
moment, during business hours. and made
off with the tin box. In the midst of this
troubled doubt, he suddenly started up
with the exclamation that he must have
left the package in Kreutzer's boot store
and off he went TO find it.
Entering the shop, he said TO the pro-
prietor: ''kreutzer, I'll take that parcel /
left here some time ago. The boot-maker
returned, and reaching up to the show
case where he kept boots on exhibition in
the shop, produced the package 1t had
never been opened. 1t had lain for
fortnight on a shelf or counter where they
were accustomed to unroll and cut leather. |
and where the proprietor had placed it,
under the impression that it would soon be |!
called for, Finally, seeing that it was
uncalled for, he unrolled the paper, and,
seeing tin box, put it without opening it,
in the show case for safe keeping And !
thus the S120,000 in Government bonds. |
after being lost for six weeks were al
recovered. This case shows that people !
are sometimes careless in large matters as
well as in small ones.
