FOUGHT IN THE RANKS.
Woman Who Served in the British Army
 Through Several Campaigns.
Dundee Courier.

Dundee Courier.
 The celebrated Mrs. Christian Davies, who for four years served in the regi- ment without her sex being discovered, was among the wounded at Families. This woman, who belonged to Dublin, had a remarkable career Her husband one day disappeared, and after several fruitless attempts to discover his where abouts she found that he had enlisted in the army and gone abroad. Mrs. Welch, as her name at that time was, there upon conceived the extraordinary notion of assuming male attire and going in search of her husband. She enlisted in some regiment and went to Holland. At the battle of Lander she was wound ed in the legs, and was taken prisoner by the French, but eventually she was exchanged. Afterward she fought a duel with a sergeant, and severely wounded him.
 This incident got her into trouble. but obtaining her discharge she immediately re-enlisted. this time in the Scots Greys. At Schellenberg she was wounded in the thigh, but still her sex remained unde- tected. After the battle of Hochstedt she came across her husband in an un- TOILul&lG lllDIUtIfL lOT Hllil. I1e WAS d private in the First regiment of foot, and at the time his wife recognized him dle was paying ardent attention to a Dutch woman. The irate wife made herself known to him, and absolutely re- fused to return to him so long as the war lasted.
 At Families the indomitable woman had her skull fractured, and the sur geon who attended her discovered her sex. That, of course ended her fighting career and the colonel of the Greys sent for her husband, adn induced the couple to become reconcled. Mrs. Welch then became sort of vivandiere in the regi-
 ment. Her husband was soon after ward killed. She married another sol dier, who lost his life during the sieg; at St. Venan't. When thereafter she re turned to England she received boun- ty of $50 and a pension of Is a day from Queen Ann=. She subsequently, married a third soldier named Davies, and fol lowed his regiment until he avs ad mitted as a pensioner into Chelsea hos | pftal. After a most adventurous life | the woman died in 17S9, and was ac- | corded a military funeral, with full hon | ors, in Chelsea hospital cemetery.

DIED With HIS CHuM.
A Noble Conception of n Soldiers
Duty to His Friend.


In the "reminiscences of Gen. Sir
Evelyn Wood himself brave English
soldier, touching instance of courage
and self-sacriflce is given, says an ex-
change. One June day in 1885 q de-
tachment of English marines was cross
ing the, Woronzow road under fire from
the Russian batteries. All of the men
reached shelter in the trenches except
a seaman, John Blewitt. AS he was
running q terrific roar was heard. His
mates knew the voice of q huge can
non. the terror of the army, and
yelled:
Look out! 1t is Whistling Dicl1!"
But at the moment Blewitt was struck
BIZ the enormous mass of iron on the
knees and thrown to the ground. He
called to his special chum:
"Oh, Welch, save mel"
The fuse was kissing, but Stephen
Welch ran out of the trenches and,
seizing the great shell, tried to roll it
off of his comrade.
It exploded with such terrific force
that not an atom of the bodies of
Blewitt or Welch was found. Even in
that time, when each hour Ind it's en-
citement, this deed of heroism stirred
the whole English army. One of the
officers searched out Welch's old moth
er in her poor home and undertook her
support while she lived. and the story
of his death helped his comrades to
nobler conceptions of soldiers duty.
