 I believe that the last story that l told you, my friends, was about how l received at the bidding or fhe emperor the cross for yalor which l had, If may be allowed to say so. so long Ge- served. Here upon the lapel of my coat you may see the ribbon, but the medal itself keep in icatherD pouch atbome, and never venture to take it out un- less one of the modern peace generals, or some foreigner of distinction who finds himself in our little town, takes advantage of the opportunity to pay his respects to the well-lsnown Brigadier Gerard. Then place it upon my breast, and give my mustache the old Maren- go twist which brings a gray point into either eye. Yet with it all I fear that neither they, nor you, either, my friends, will ever realize the man that was. You know me only as civil ian-with an air and manner it is true but still merely as civilian. Had you seen me as I stood in the doorway of the inn at Alamo on the first day of July in the year 1910 you would then have known what the hussar may at tain to.
 For month had fingered in that accursed village, and all on account of 9 lance thrust in my ankle which made it impossible for me to put my foot to the ground. There were three of us at frst-old Eouvet, of the hussars; Jacques Regnier, of the cuirassiers, and a funny little voltigeur captain whose name forget-but they all got well and hurried on to the front, while sat gnawing my fingers and tearing my hair. and even, as I must confess, weeping from time to time as thought Of my hussars and the deplorable condi- tion in which they must find themselves when deprived of their colonel. was not 9 brigadier yet, you understand, although l already carried myself like one. But was the youngest colonel in tho whole service, and my rcgiinemG' WaS NilG anu cffr1rrr vre5tsss to my heart that they should be be- reaved. It is true that Yillaret, the senior ma 5or, was an excellent soldier, but still even among the best there are degrees oi merit.
 An, that happy July day of which l speak when first I liInped to the door and stood in the golden Spanish sun shinel It was but the evening before that had heard from the regiment. They were at Pastores on the other side of the mountains face to face with the English-not forty miles from me by road. But how was to get to them? The same thrust which had pierced my ankle had slain my charger. l took advice from Gomez, the landlord, and from an old priest who had slept that night in the inn, but neither of them could do more than assure me that there was not so much as colt left upon the whole country side. The landlord would not hear of my cross ing the mountains without an escort, for he assured me that El Cuchillo, the Spanish guerrilla chief, was out that way with his band, and that it meant a death by torture to fall into his hands.

gone straight to him, for he was the best Jew that I have heard of since Joshua's time, and if you are in sight of his bealzy nose and bold, black eyes you are not likely to miss much of what is going on. Still siege is always a poor sort of picl1-and-shoyel business, and there were better prospects with my hussars in front of the English. Every mile that passed my heart grew lighter and lighter until l found myself shouting and singing like young en- sign fresh from Saint Cyr, just to think of seeing all my fine horses and my gal lant fellows once more.
 As we penetrated the mountains the road grew rougher and the pass more savage. At first we met few mule teers, but now the whole country seemed deserted. which is not Co be wondered at when you think that the French, the English and the ruerrillas had each iu turn had command over # So bleak and Rild was 1t. one Yreas brown NyrinAled cliff succeeding ano.h- CT, and the pass growing narrower and narrower, that 1 ceased to look out, bul sat in silence thinking of this and that of women whom ] had loved and cl horses which 1 had handled. I was suddenly brought back from my dreams, however, by observing the difficulties of my companion, who was trying with sort of bradawl which he had drawn out to bore q hole tfroueh the leathern strap which held up his water flask. As he worked with twiteh- ing fingers the strap escaped his grasp and the wooden bottle fell at my feet I stopped to pick it up, and as l did so the priest silently leaped upon my shoulders and drove his bradawl into my eye.
 My friends I am, as you know, man steeled to face every danger. When one has served from the siege of Genoa to that last fatal day of Waterloo, and has had the special medal, which I keep at home in a leathern pouch, one can afford to confess when one is frightened It may console some Of you when your own nerves play you tricks to remember that you have heard even ne, Brigadier Gerard, say that I have been scared. And besides my terror at this horrible attack, and the maddening pain of my wound, there was sudden feeling of loathing such as you might feel were some filthy tarantula to strike its fangs into you. 1 clutehed the creature in both hands and hurling him onto the floor of the coach I stamped on him with my heavy boots.

Train Holdup.
ST Louis, Dec "A special to the

One lonely robber, with his face hid
den by a mask, and armed with a re-
volver, attempted to rob the passen-

rived here early this morning. A min
strel troupe and a theatrical company
were aboard the cars. The robber got
on at La Grange, Mo-, about 40 miles

Soon after the train left La Grange,
the desperate, who had taken a seat in
the smoking car, put a mask on his
face, and drawing a revolver started
through the train.
Pistol in hand he demanded the
money and valuables Of the passen-
gers. There was a scramble to get out
Of his way, but some of the men in
the coach stood their ground and at
tempted TO disarm the bandit, who fired
three shots from his revolver, none of
which took effect. He lost his mask
in the scuffie and finally escaped from
the platform, springing to the ground
while the train was going at full speed
The bandit secured no booty and his
mask is in possession of one of the the
atrical party.
