under all circumstances.
There was boy whom | will name

old, and he was lame of his left foot.
So, when every other boy in Number
Five, and every man, old and young,
shouIdered his tirelock and marched off
to join General Stark, and 90 and fight
the Hessians at Bennington. Luke was
left at home. He limped out and held
the stirrup for Lieutenant Chittenden to
mount, and then he had to stay at home
with the babies and the women. The
men had been gone an hour and halt
when three men galloped up on horse
back. And Luke went down to the
rails to see who they were.
lis there nobody here?" said one OF
them.
Yes" said Luke, II am here.
II see that" said the first man laugh
ing. "What | mean is, is there nobody
here can set shoe?'
II think | can, ;" said Luke II often

A lyway, will start up the fire"
Luke went into the forge and took
down the tinder-box and struck light
He built the fire, and hunted up half-a-
dozen nails which Jonas had left unin-
tentionally. and he had even made two
more, when fourth horseman came
slowly down on walk. What luck, '
said he, Ito find forge with the fire
lighted!''
1--WE found one" said Marvin. with
boy who knew how to light it. D"
The other speaker flung himself oil
the horse meanwhile. And Luke pared
HE hoof of the dainty creature, and
measured the shoe, which was too big
for her. He heated it white, and bent
it closer, to the proper size.
1T is poor fit, he said, ''but it will
do"
1T will do very well. said her rider
but she Is very tendeF-IoOISu. anu

For pride's sake. the first two nails
Luke drove were those he had made
himself. And when the shoe was fast,
he said; Tell Jonas that | het up the
forge-and put on the shoe.
I'VE will tell him, said the Colonel,
laughing, and ne rode on.
But one of the other horsemen tarfied
minute, and said;. boy, no ten men

country as you have. 1t is Colonel

When ] read in history how Colonel
