But the light had its evil for us
Against its broad silver disk we were
sllhouetted like the man in the moon,
and the popping of pistols told US that
we had become good targets. One bull

the girl seemed to take 8 like view of
the case. Relief showed in her eyes.

and egotistically, 'sI congratulate you,

I seem to have been preferred to the
British behind us, who do not have
ropes around their necks, but deserve

The men behind us were silent, and
we were sure Of gaining upon them I
could see their figures rising out of the

the German cavalry lost 1000 horses
an 1.400 men, while their artillery lost
1000 horses and 730 men; but at the
battle of Woerth the German cavalry
lost only so horses to 60 men. This
shows that when the fighting is close
and hot the men fall in greater mum
bers than the horses
From the relative loss of men and
horses You can tell whether 1t was a
defeat or a victory; for In a victory
the difference between men lost and
horses lost would not be very great.
while In IL defeat and retirement the
loss of horses would be immense
In a well contested hand to hand
fight OF cavalry the loss of horses Is
about equal to the loss OF men. When
the British troops were engaged in
the Penlnsular War they lost In each
OF the 10 battles an average of Is

back at his career he often wondered
that he did not desert. Not that he
ever felt tempted, but his outlook was
utterly hopeless. He fancied that the
activity of his brain kept him from
doing SO, for somehow, even when
his lines were hardest, life seemed to
him full of interest. He also took a
pride in punctually obeying orders.
There was something in the walk
and look of Forbes that reminded me
of watchful sentinel. He was eager
TO make money, and must have made
a great deal, but he spent freely and
had no idea of economy. Money
slipped through his fingers. He was
a good comrade when the feeling OF
