quest was not granted, and she was sent
out to the auction. The price paid for
her was very low, poor thing, for every

An Extraordinary Trial of Speed.

Perhaps the most extraordinary trial
of speed between two armies ever wit
messed in the field is that which occurred
between the English and the French on
the banks Of the Guarena River Just
previous to the battle of Salamanca, in
July, 1912. 1t was a test between Wei
lington and Marmont as to which could
outmaneuver the other. The Guarena
was narrow and scanty stream, and for
several days the two armies marched
along it in parallel columns, the English
on the left aud the French on the right
bank. They marched SO rapidly that
they exchanged only an occasionl cannon
shot, although within half range. The
officers on both sides regularly saluted
each other with their swords. The
French finally won the race, and Wei
lineton found himself outfanked. Mar
mont could not profit by his good luck
and the active legs of his men. In
moment of military madness he detached
his left from his center in the hope OF
surrounding his advaaary. Wellington,
Who was at lunch when the movement
Of the Marshal was reported to him, saw
the error AZ once. and threw his riga.
