flight, while his two comrades, the mounted and
the other on foot, with his horses bride over his
arm prepare to sell their lives dearly. The other
picture by Zogbaum figures in the catalogue as tho
Advanced Guard" and shows sergeant OF infantry

danger In the distance The regiment is per-
ceived in the distance hurryng forward. The
most charming Of +. X NJ. Rehn's marines
is his "surf at Evening" which shows
CLEANS Of the golden glow of the setting upon the
where they break angudy onto the sandy shore.
