on Cumberland street before the head
of the line turned into that street from
Willoughby avenue. He came to Brook
Ign, escorted by City Auditor Ruton, chair
man of the memorial committee. and a
aid from Marshal Bell's staff. The process
sion passed through Cumberland street to
South Oxford street, through South Oxford
to Hanson Place, and down Hanson

They gave him n candle lighted to

off to drive the snipe down. They
did not come back. but they told him
they didn't find any snipe. He be-
lieved them. On q second invitation
he was quite agreeable to go, and

from the distended nostrils trickled
Il tiny stream of blood.
One mile, two miles, they crept on.
The trOt relapsed into a walk, the

Paul sprang off as the horse rolled
over and set down the road at run.
Up and down hill, splashing through
the streams, he hurried, with but one
thought in his mind-to deliver the

The next day he returned home on

by Paul whenever he told the story
of his terrible ride when he brought
the dispatches that saved the battle.
