cYApTEl, y

The man who wanted to see the fight
did not see it, and the man who did not
want to see it saw it. Yates arrived
on the field Of conflict when all was
over; Remark found the battle raging
around him before he realized that
things had reached crisis.
The result OF the struggle was SINH
lar in effect to an American railway
accident of the first class. One officer
and ave priyates were killed on the
Canadian side, ono man was missing,
and many were wounded. The num-
Der of the Fenians killed will probably
never be known. Several were buried
on the field OF battle, Others were
taken back by O'Neills brigade when
they retreated.
Although the engagement resulted
us Yates had predicted, yet he was
wrong in his estimate of the Canadians.
Volunteers are invariably underrated
by men Of experience in military mat
tors. The boys fought well, even when
they saw their ensign fall dead before
them. II the affair had been left en-
tirely IN their hands the result might
have been different, as was shown after
wards, when the volunteers, unim-
peded By regulars, quickly put down
a much more formidable rising in the
northwest. But ia the present case
they were hampercd by their depend
ence on the British troops, whose com
rhander moved them with all the pom
derous slowncss Of real war and ap-
preached 0Neill as IL he had been ap-
preaching Napoleon. He thus man
eyed to get In u day after the fair on
every occasion, being too late for the
eight at Ridgeway and too late to cap
ture any considerable number of the fly
Ing Fenians at Fort Erie. The campaign
on the Canadian side was magnificent
ly planned and wretchedly carried out.
The volunteers and regulars were to
meet ut point close to where the fght
| took place, but the British commander

fact the Canadian colonel did not learn
until too late. These blunders culmi.
mated In ghsstly mistake on the
/ field. The Canadian colonel ordered
his men 10 charge across an open field
( and attack the Fenian force in the
woods-a brilliant but foolish move.
To the command the volunteers gal
! lantly responded, but against stupidity
the gods are powerless. In the field
they we're appalled, to hear the order
given to form square and receive cav
airy. Even the schoolboys knew the
Fenians could have no cavalry.
I Having formed their square, the Can
adams found themselves the helpless
targets OF the Fenians In the woods.
If 0'Neill's forces had shot with rea-
/ sopable precision they must have cut
the volunteers to pieces. The volun-
teers were victorious If they had only
known it, but in this hopeless square,
panic seized them, and it was every
man for himself, and nj. the same time
the Fenians were also retreating as
fast as they could. This farce is known
az the battle of Ridgcway, and would

supposed that everything had been ar
ranged. The good-by and its accom-

night his wife suddenly remembered
that she had left a valuable adjunct to
her happiness and wrote message to
her husband, which he received the
following morning at his Office. tread

made no discoveries, Of course. Then
he sent message to the operator at
the office from which his wife's mes
sage was sent asking thim to repeat

his luncheon and his dinner waiting.
