sive as the mystery which surrounds their
deaths-I tried to form some idea of the
awful sensation which must have come Ia
each of these brave fellows when he real
lied the horror OF the situation on that
dread day. That death awaited every man
was evident after the first 10 minutes.
But my eyes rested on the little white
marble sentinels which marked the
steady, compact advance, and on every
hero's cenotaph l seemed to see carved
the word, DUTY"
The lesson is there for all who may read
"a lesson which will be ever remembered
by the brave men of our regular army.
There is not a trooper who follows the
guidon of the Seventh to-day who does
not feel proud of the little band which
rode to death fighting heroically on these
barren hills. The requiem of the winds
over the graves there can never be sadder
than on that golden evening when

once the most pathetic and most mys-
FERROUS of all that our sun shines on.
