We listen and listen. Oh, how we listen!
Nothing. The wind in the pine trees. For

A Revolutionary Heroine.
From the Ladies' Home Journal.

FROM the Ladies Home Journal
Deborah Sampson, a Massachusetts, girl.
was one of the real heroines of the reyo-
lutionary war. Under the name of Robert
Shurtleffff she enlisted in the continental,
army and served valiantly in many hard
fought engagements. While the army was
stationed al West Point the true courage
of this dauntless woman was shown by her
constant volunteering to go upon scouting
duty. great deal of scouting was done
and Robert Shurtleff was always at the
front of the party, the most fearless Of
all, leading the others and inspiring them
by her utter fearlessness. On one of these
expeditions she was twice wounded She
begged her companions to leave her. as she
preferred to be left behind rather than to
enter the hospital to have her wounds
dressed. Her comrades would not heed her
She was placed on one of the horses in
front of another soldier and taken to the
hospital of a French encampment When
the surgeon came to dress her wounds she
pointed to the one in her head but said
nothing about the other. After the sur
geon's departure she extracted the ball
from her hip with penknife, having care

removed the other.

rs my Petro safe?"
How goes it with my Yanne?'
Others ran uo out Of dark alleys and
nom the doorways of distant houses, and
soon twenty or more surrounded the poor
boy, gesticulating, screaming. They could
not wait for him to get his breath. His
tongue lGlled out like that of Chinese
Idol. and he swallowed the air instead of
breathing, rolling his eyes about helplessly
the while. At length. with supreme eff
fort, he gasped:
"Yanner'
The woman with the babe reeled as
though the earth were slipping from be-
meath her feet. A neighbor caught the
c!:ld and she fell limpiy to the ground.
Then, while friends dashed water upon her
face anG rubbed her hands the boy talked
rapidly, shrilly, tiinging his arms about
with icuse-elboWed gestures. The woman
opened her eyes and two of the men Helped
her to her feet. She tottered for moment
oishereling her hair with despairing hands
and whispering hoarsely:
tYanre, Yanne! What shall 1 do? o
God! God.'
But suddenly the brave woman soul as
serted itself and her frail body Strengthened
tense, defiant ready for any effort. Clasp
ing the babe to her breast she kissed 1t
tenderly many times. Holding it for mo-
ment at arms length. she looked at 1t hun
grily. and then turned her eyes away. A
neighbor took the child.
Come" said the mother, and she ran
+, lightly up the ravine, followed by the boy.
The babe beated Mammal Mammal like
| a frightened lamb. but the woman did not
| look back. Hopping two or three steps
| from the doorway, Curtis seized a woman
| by the arm.
"Killed?' he asked in Greek
"Eh?"
"Kil.ed?''
Unfortunately. everybody understood, and
| all commenced talking at once.
Il don't understand" shouted Curtis
| Silence, Killed? Kfled?'
"Siience!' cried the old man with the
musket raising his right hand in a COM

| willing takers.

For the Man Who Fails.

The world is n snob, and the man who wins
Is the chap for its moneys worth;
And the lust for success causes half OF the sins
That cursing this brave old earth
For it's fine to go up, and the worlds applause
Is sweet to the mortal ear:
But the man who fails In noble cause
Is hero that's no less dear
IT'S true enough that the laurel crown
Twnes but for the victors brow;
For many a hero has laid him down
With naught hut the cypress hough
There are gallant men in the losing fight,
And gallant deeds done
As ever graced the captured height,
Or the battle grandly won.
We sit life's board with our nerves high sfrnpv
And we play for the stake of fame
And oul odes are sung and hammers hung
For the man who wins the game.
But have song OF another kind
Than brea thes in these fame wrought gales
An ode to the noble heart and mind
OF the gallant man who fails!
The man who is strong to fight his nght
And whose Will no front daunt,
II the truth be truth and the right be right
Is the man that the ages want.
Tho he fail and die in grim defeat
Yet he has not fed the strife,
AID the house Of Earth will seem more sweet
