Cora, until two years ago last March, was as

She was attending school and was studying
hard. Perhaps she was too studious, for we
noticed that the healthy color in her check was
rapidly disappearing, and she was becoming
pale and sallow. Dark, swollen circles be-

became worse. We were living in Franklin,
Indiana, at the time, and Cora would have

ed when l see an old soldier stalkine
around on one leg" sail Colonel La
mar Fontaine OF Mississippi the ia
nous Confederate scout and poet, "If
the left leg is missing them am pretty
certain he belonged TO the infantry:
and If he is minus the right leg. then /
feel safe In betting that he was a cav
alryman. In either case, the absence
or the leg proves more conclusively
than the written record that the man
who lost it was fighting like a soldier
when wounded.
The reason the infantrymen loss the
ieft leg in battle is this: Infantrymen
are drilled to place the left foot for
ward when firing, in order to balance
the body, SO that steadier aim can be
taken. This naturally acts as a pro-
lection to the right leg, which, of
course, is more or less concealed. Con.
sequently, the bullet Of the enemy is
much more apt to find lodgment in
me left leg than the right. Now, the
cavRlryman uses a pistol nearly alto
Eether. II Is handler and less cumber-
some. The pistol Is held in the right
hand. and this causes the cavalryman
when firing to place his right foot for
ward for support. In this way that
side OF him is much more likely to suf-
fer than the left. But, as | said, either
case is conclusive evidence to me that
the soldiers thus manned were facing
the enemy when shot. The loss of tho
leg indicates almost to certainty that
the sufferer was standing in military
position. and not crouching or run.

The rose that is most fragrant always

The pearl that is the purest lies within
