MARVELLOUS COURAGE:
How an Humble Hero Saved tho Day .
 Winter r-uo

How an Humble Hero Saved tho Day at
 Water 'oo.
 The Duke of Wellington was once asked who, in his opinion, was the bravest man at Waterloo. T can't tell you that he said, but can tell you Of one than whom l am sure thore was no braver." The following is the story put in the words Of the writer:
 There was privats in uhe artillery. 4 farmhouse. with an orchard surrounded by thick hedge formed most important point in the British position, and was or dered to be held against the enemy at any sacrifice. The hOt5es. of the battle ragged around this point but the English behaved well, and beat back the French again and again
 At last the powder and ball were found to be running short; at the same time the hedges surrounding the orchard took fire. h the meantime a messenger had been sent to the rear for more powder and ball, and in a short time two loaded wagons came galloping down to the farmhouse. the gal lant defenders of which were keeping up scanty fire through the flames which sur rounded the pest The driver of the first wagon spaIred his struggling horses through the burning heap; but the flames rose fercely round and caught the powder, which exploded, sending rider, horses and wagon in fragments into the air. For ons instant the driver of the second wagon paused appalled, by his comrades fate, the next, observing that the flames beaten back for a moment by the explosion afforded him one desperate chance, he sent his horses at the smolderug breach, and amid the cheers of the garrison landed his cargo safely within. Behind him the hamei closed up and ragged more fercely than ever. This private never lived to receive the reward which his act nerited but later in the engagement he was killed, dying with the consciousness that he had saved the day.-LOndon Times
