ping away to the house he got his flag
from the loft where he had left it.
He tried to think of some way OF warn
ing st. Albans before the men whe were
to leave at could reach there. Lame
as he was, it was impossible to walk the
fifteen miles in time. Bourdo, he knew,
would take the young brown mare, their
only horse. Even now he was grooming
her in the stable. Pierre was almost in
despair, when he remembered that old
Jules, their neighbor, had horse. To
be sure it was old and somewhat stiff,
but it was better than nothing. He
would at once go to Jules and ask for
the horse. But moments were precious,
and there was no time for explanations
He knew where the animal was pas
tured and must take it without asking.
Soon he had caught the old gray, slipped
bride over its head, and scorning a
saddle was bestride his steed.
Plover Pierre did not know the coun-
try well; but he was sure of the general
direction in which st. Albans lay. As
he galloped along, Pierre grew excited
and was filed with joyous enthusiasm.
The small figure on the gaunt gray horse
was perhaps travesty on his vision Of
the cavalry officer dashing at the head
of his troops, but the boy was satisfied.
His mission was a responsible one, and
he was working for the cause in which
he burned to distinguish himself.
He had pushed the flag under his
Jacket. Now he took it out, and tied it
about him like an officers sash. The
people at the few farmhouses along the
road stared at this apparition. After he
had travelled what seemed to him long
J distance, he got into a country where
