HERO OF WATERLOO.

unexamDled Bravery.
Inc Duke of Wellington was once
asked who, in his opinion, was the
Dravest man at Waterloo
i can't tell you that" he said, "but
can tell you of one than whom 1 am
sure there was no braver."
Inc following is the story put in the
words Of the writer:
Ihere was a private In the artillery,
A farmhouse with an orchard. sur-
rounded by a thick hedge, formed a
most important point in the British DO
sltlon' and was ordered to be held
against the enemy at any sacrifice. The
hottest Of the battle ragged around the
point, but the English behaved we'll.
and beat back the French again and
again.
AT last the powder and ball were
found to be running short; at the same
time the hedges surrounding the or
chard took fire. In the meantime a
messenger had been sent to the rear for
more powder and ball, and in a short
time two loaded wagons came galloping
down to the farmhouse, the gallant de-
tenders Of which were keeping I'D a
scanty fire through the flames which
surrounded the post. The driver Of the
first wagon spurred his horses towards
the burning heap, but the flames rose
hercely round and caught the powder,
which exploded, sending rider, horses
and wagon in fragments into the open
air. For one instant the driver of the
second wagon paused appalled, by his
comarde's fate; the next, observing that
the flames, beaten back for a mons snt
by the explosion, afforded him one des-
perate chance, he sent his horses at the
smoldering breach, and, amid the
cheers Of the garrison, landed his cargo
safely within: Behind him the flames
closed up and ragged more tiercely than
ever. This private never lived to re-
ceive the reward which his act merit
ed, but later in the engagement he was
killed, dying with the consciousness
that he had saved the day."

the work Of Nick and Dock in trailing
men has made them famous west of
the Mississippi. The services of these
celebrated boudhounds have been rey
quired in scores of well-known cases,
the most prominent being the great I'm
ion Pacific train robbery last winter at
Green River, Wyo.
The two hounds came from famous
stock. owing their origin to the great
Winchell kennels of Vermont. They
We're purchased by the Lincoln, Neb.,
bloodhound Company when very young
and placed in immediate training for
scores of minor cases about Nebraska's
capital city, their work being aston
ishing. They trailed n party of bur
glars forty-fve miles, but lost them
amid the confusion of the city. Two
escaped prisoners from a Fillmore
County Jail We're followed forty-five
miles before the trail was broken by
the escape of the men on a railroad
train.
When the Union Pacific robbery
Cured last winter Nick and Dock we
sent to Green River. They took up tn,
trail of the train robbers readily, but
the next day were incapacltated by a
driving snowStorm. The change proved
too much for them, but the officers
who saw the hounds follow the trail
had no hesitancy in expressing their
belief that the dogs would have heen
successful had not the fearful storm
.intervened
The latest experience Of the dogs was
In following two York County horse
thieves. The men had worked" the
vicinity of their homes so successfully
that the farmers became incensed and
promises Of a lynching were made if
they were caught. One night two Gne
horses disappeared. Nick and Dock
were brought from Lincoln, The trail
was fresh and the dogs in good trim.
Over beautiful country for fifty miles
the hounds sped after their quarry with
a posse of angry farmers at their heels.
About dusk one evening the thieves
were sighted. A chase of several more
miles resulted in their capture. A con-
viction followed quickly and the thieves
were ON their way to the State prison
in less than two weeks after the last
theft occurred.

with the German empire. On the other
hand the Czechs and the Magyars have
more in common with the great Slav-
onic nation to their north and east. At
present the situation is not ripe for a
dissolution, but when it comes, as Is
likely after the death Of the Emperor,
the general belief of European states
men is that independence Of the parts
would be short.

A little tact sometimes saves a great
