A Bravo Briton.

When the attack was made on Sidon,
during the war with Syria, it became
necessary for the British troops TO ad-
vance across a long, unprotected bridge,
in the faeo of battery of six guns,
which completely commanded the ap-
proach.. The men We're unwilling to ex-
pose themselves to certain death, when
Arthur Cumming. carefully dressed in
full uniform, stepped forward to the
middle of the bridge. 1t was immedi-
ately swept by the fire of the battery
When the smoke had rolled away, there
stood Cumming intact, carefully brush
ing the dust from his boots, after which
he stood erect, fixed a single glass in
his eye and looked back at the men.
This was too much, and they captured
that bridge and battery with q whoop.

person, waddled to the footlights. But,
