PRoFITED BY WATERLOO.
Nathan Rothschild Made ; tx MilliO
DoIIars as Result of Battle,

Dollars as Result of Battle.
There is probably no more plctur-
esque and unique bit of inanciering IN
history than that by which Nathan
Rothschild made 100000 as a result
of the battle of Waterloo. The story
is told by Henry Clews In his book,
''Twenty-eigbt Years In Wall Street.
Rothschild had followed Wellington
during his campaign against Napoleon,
and at Waterloo the man Of money"
sat like soldier in shower Of rain
and bullets, watching the battle. As
soon as he observed the arrival of
Blucher and the rout Of the French,
Rothschlld set spurs to his horse and
rode swiftly to Brussels. A carriage
whirled him to 0stend, and the next
morning he was at the Belgian coast.
The sea was so rough that he had to
pay $500 TO a boatman to carry him
across the channel, and be landed at
Dover In the evening. The next morn
Ing he was In London before the open
Ing Of the Stock Exchange. Ii was
known that he had come direct from
Wellington, and must have the latest
news. He had outstrlpped all the cou-
riers and messengers Of the nation.
There was no telegraph then. In an
swer to the anxious inquiries for the
news Of Wellington, Rothschild dis
creetly said nothing of the battle of
Waterloo.
Instead, he sighed, and told OF
Blucher's previous defeat at Ligny, and
said that as a result there could he lit
tie hope for Wellington The. gloomy
report caused panic on the exchange,
and when the market had reached the
bottom Nathan Rothschild bought ev-
erythlng that he could find money for
all being done quietly through his
brokers. Then came the news Of the
battle Of Waterloo, England's victory,
the final defeat Of Napoleon. Securities

return to the Warm Springs camp in a
round about way so as to throw the
Piutes off the trail, should they at
tempt to follow. They therefore drove
away in a southerly direction. Out of
an abundance of precaution the stock
were driven far in advance of the
main band of Indians. Ten young
warriors were assigned to this duty
and Dan Follett and the chief and 40
warriors acted as a rear guard.
Pretty easy work." remarked Fol-
lett to the chief in the latters tongue,
for the half breed knew all of the
Indian languages of the plains.
"Ugh!" replied the chief pointing
back toward Ash Butte.
"Old Hgan has not been sleeping"
replied Follett, as he saw a rich
fame of fire rise from the summit of
the peak and then saw it smothered
and flash up alternately.
1t was evident to them that the
Piutes were signaling to other war
parties of their tribe, and they had
wasted no time in doing so. It had
only been a few hours since the raid
was made and yet the Piutes had as
cended this high peak and started
their signal fires.
It was nearly noon the following
day before the raiders stopped for
rest and to prepare a meal. They
had just passed through a canyon and
had entered another plateau. A look.

station when he made hurried sig
nails that put the whole camp in tur-
moil. Two bands of mounted Piute
warriors were approaching from diff
ferent directions at a rapid speed
one was coming from the southeast
and the other was coming from the
southwest and each of these bands
outnumbered the raiders.
All was hurly burly in the camp
and the meal was finished as they
moved along. every warrior taking

had already joined the band coming
from the southeast in person.
Dan FOllett now became the most
active man among them.
