BURIAL UNDER FIRE.

who we're killed ia the first land

some correspondents stood bare

thick cover beyond there came the

The Chaplain moved pace from
where he was standing and turned
his face toward the thicket from
which the bullets were coming.
Then his words fell slowly and
gravely, Man that is born of wo-
man. and so on to the end.
As he faced the fire those who
had sought shelter stood up iE-
stantly and bowed their heads rev.
erently. The fire slackened. ceas-
ed. The earth fell on the flags and
covered them and the heroes wrap

He started then, for slight
noise arrested his attention. The
two women did not hear it, and he
was silent.
When the night was dark q man
stole from the back of the house.
He wore a uniform, and if the

no one to see it.
In the morning, early, before the
dews were dry, the lieutenant bade
the two women a gay farewell, and
rode down the road with his men.
The road lay open to the dawn be-
fore the house, and there was no
screening hedge.
He laughed as he rode and waved
his cap gayly. The corporal looked
on in grave disapproval. Such
frivolties were not in keeping with
the grimness of war. The carbines
were slung and the swords rested
In their scabbards.
Suddenly the windows of the
house were alive with rifles. Six
men looked over the muzzles at the
detail. Looking back at the two
women, the lieutenant caught sight
of tense faces glaring over the
cleaning barrels.
Forward, lads, for your lives
he shouted.

The corporal hesitated as his lieu
tenant dropped, but the report was
of consequence, and it was no use
dying beside his officer. So he rode
on with the detail.

AVOIDING SIDE SLIPS.
One of the Worst Dangers in BIZ
cycling Cnn BE Avoided by
Standing on the Pedals.

Great danger in a side slip on wet
asphalt may be avoided in wheeling
by standing on your pedals lifting your
body clear of the seat and putting all
your weight en- the handle bar and
pedals. That vii! stop it. DO you
know why?
Have you ever noticed that when
you slide on wet asphalt it is always
the rear wheel that slips? 1t is be-
cause the weight is there and the wheel
is rigid. Its relation with a slippery
spot is absolute, while the front wheel
you swing out of the way by means Of
the handle bars.
just reflect a moment and it will be
self-evident to you. Imagine you strike
the edge of a slight depression in the
asphalt on rainy day.
Your front wheel slips a trif1e and
veers and you yank it steady with your
hand but when your rear wheel hits
the edge it slides into the hole so
quick that the machine shoots out
from under you and down you go like
a ton of bricks.
On dirt roads when they are muddy,
the same proposition is true. Ride
your pedals and you will escape the
falls
