up went careerlng on through some
bushes.
The youth moderated his pace when
he had left the place of noises behind.
Later, he came upon general of di-
vision seated upon horse that pricked
its ears IN an interested way at the
battle. There was great cleaning of
yellow and patent-leather about the
saddle and bride. The quiet man,
astride, looked mouse-colored upon such
splendid charger.
A jingling staff was galloping hither
and thither. Sometimes the general
was surrounded by horsemen and at
other times he was quite alone. He
looked to be much harassed. He had
the appearance of business man whose
market is swinging up and down.
The youth went Sinking around this
spot. He went as near as he dared try
ing to overhear words. Perhaps the
general, unable to comprehend chaos,
might call upon him for information.
And he could tell him. He knew all
concerning it. OF a surety the force
was in fix and any fool could see that
if they did not retreat while they had
y-why--destructio
He felt that he would like to thrash
the general, or, at least, approach and
tell him in plain words exactly what
he thought him to be. 1t was criminal
to stay calmly in one spot and make no
effort to stay tempestuous defeat. He
loitered in fever of eagerness for the
division-commander to apply to him.
But, moment later, the youth saw
the general bounce excitedly in his
saddle.
Eyes, by heavens, they have" The
officer leaned forward. His face was
aflame with excitement. "Yes, by
heavens, they've held them They've
held them"
He began to blithely roar at his staff.
He beamed upon the earth like a sun.
In his eyes was a desire to chant
p@on. He kept repeating; They've
held EN-, by heavens"
His excitement made his horse plunge
and he merrily kicked and swore at it.
He held a little carnival of JOY on horse
back.

The ORIGIN of Mrs. Grundv.

How many who daily use the name
of Mrs. GruDdy have any idea of her
origin? 1t is generally believed that
Dickens was somehow responsible for
her, but a writer in the Dundee Adver-
tiser points out that this is an utter
mistake. The real creator of Mrs.
Grundy was Thomas Morton, the dra-
matist (born 1864, died 1881, the IA
Their of the author of BOX and Cox
and she is referred to in his comedy,
speed the Plow," which was first per-
formed in 1898. Mrs. Grundy is not a
character in that play; she is merely
mysterious parsonage whom Dame
Ashfield, the farmers wife, constantly
quotes, much in the same way as
Sairey Camp alludes to Mrs. Harris.

sprapg forward, bawling. The youth
saw his features, wrathfully red, and
saw him make a dab with his sword.
His one thought of the incident was
that the lieutenant was a peculiar
creature, to feel interested in such
matters upon this occasion.
He ran like a blind man. Two or
three times he fell down. Once he
knocked his shoulders so heavily
against tree that he went headlong.
Since he had turned his back upon
the fight his fears had been wondrously
magniied. Death about to thrust him
between the shoulder blades was far
more dreadful than death about to
smite him between the eyes
As he ran on he mingled with others
He dimly saw men on his right and on
his left, and he heard footsteps behind
him. He thought that all the regiment
was fleeing pursued by these ominous
crashes.
AS he went across a little field, he
found himself in the region of shells
They hurled over his head with long,
wild screams AS he heard them he
imagined them to have rows of cruel
teeth that grinned at him. Once, one

wnere the flesh of the Italian carbineers
killed at the barricades was sold for
next to nothing. Rudini rislzed popu-
larity in order to save italian unity.
He directed the suppression of the re-
volt with a firmness that bordered ON
cruelty. The revolution was crushed
and Italian unity escaped the peril Of
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, which had threatened
it for an instant. But for many years
the remembrance of this bloody and
merciless suppression weighed heavily
on Sig. Rudini's reputation. As poll
tician the Marquis di Rudini took a
leading rank among the rightists as
soon as he was sent to parliament. His
conduct DUNG the revolution of &c had
claSsed him among the fearless and
resolute men. And so, after Montana,
when Emmanuel desired TO begin a
reactionary policy, Rudini was selected
to act as minister of the interior. He
was expected to show his strong quali-
ties against the militant democracy,
which was incensed at the king. The
new minister showed himself equal TO
the expectation and was almost spiteful
in his zeal against the republicans. But
at the end OF two months he was COM
PEELED to retire and again took his place
among the right. He was not heard
of again until he assumed the reins OF
government on the retirement of Sig.
Crispi in 1891. He remained in power
two years, but his ministry was disas-
trous financially. Since that time Ru-
DIM has not been a leader in the coun-
ellis of Italy.

CHAPTER V.

A hatless general pulled his dripping
horse to stand near the colonel of the
Three Hundred and Fourth. He shook
his fist in the others face. you've got
to hold 'em back" he shouted savagely.
You've got to hold 'em back" He
seemed greatly insulted.
In his agitation, the colonel began to
stammer. 'A-all-right, general, all
right, by Gawd, NEWELL do our best"
The general made passionate gesture
and galloped away.
The man at the youths elbow was
mumbling as if to himself: "Oh, we're
in for it now. Oh, we're in for it now. "
The captain of the company had
been pacing excitedly to and fro in the
rear. He coaxed in school-mistress
fashion as to a congregation of boys
with primers. His talk was an endless
repetition: Reserve your fire, boys
don't shoot until tell you, save your
fire-wait until they get close up
don't be damned fools"
Precipitation streamed down the
youths face, which was soiIed3ike that
OF a weeping urchin. He frequently
with a nervous movement wiped his
eyes with his cOat-sleeve. His mouth
was still little waysopen.
He got the one glance at the foe
swarming field in front of him and in
stantly ceased to debate the question
of his piece being loaded. Before he
was ready to begin, before he had an

to fight, he threw the obedient, we'll

ing at his weapon like an automatic
affair.
He suddenly lost concern for himself
and forgot to look at menacing fate
He became not a man bat a member.
He felt that something of which he
was a part-a regiment, an army, a
cause, or a country-was in crisis. He
was welded into common personality
which was dominated by single de-
sire. For moments he could not flee,
no more than a little finger can COM
NIT revolution from hand.
If he had thought the regiment about
to be annihilated perhaps hecould have
amputated himself from Il. But its
noise gave him assurance. The regi-
ment was like a ire-work, that, once

stances until its blazing vitality fades

parently all deaf and blind. They
needed not the largest and longest of
the oaths that were thrown at them
from all directions
Frequently, over this tumult could
be heard the grim jibes of the critical
veterans, but the retreating men ap-
parently were not even conscious of the
presence of an audience.
The battle reflection that shone in
the faces on the mad current made the
youth feel that forceful hands from
Heaven would not have been able to
have held him in place if he could have
got intelligent control of his legs
The sight of this stampede exerted a
hood-like force that seemed able to
drag sticks and stones and men from
the ground. They of the reserve had
to hold on. They grew pale and firm,
and red and Quaking.
The youth achieved one little thought
in the midst of this chaos. The com
posite monster which had caused the
other troops to fee had not then ap-
peared. He resolved to get a view of
it and then, he thought, he might very
likely run better than the best of them.
There were moments of waiting. Then
some one cried: Here they come"
There was rustling and muttering
among the men. They displayed a
feverish desire to have every possible
cartridge ready to their hands. Their
boxes were pulled around into various
positions and adjusted with great
care. 1t was as if seven hundred new
bonnets were being tried ON.
At last cry was repeated up and
down the line in a muffied roar of sound:
Here they come. Here they come"
Gun-locks clicked.
Across the smoke-infested fields came
a brown swarm of running men who
were giving shrill yells. They came
on STOPPING and swinging their rifles
at all angles. A flag tilted forward
sped near the front.
