4 couraEeous corpornl.

When Lord Rawdon was in South
Carolina he had to send an express Of
great Importance through part Of the
country filled with Continental troops.
A corporal Of the Seventeenth dra-
goons, known for his courage and intel
ligence, was selected to escort 1t.
They had not proceeded far when
they were fred upon, the express was
killed and the corporal wounded in the
side. Careless of his wound, he thought
only of his duty. he snatched the dis
patch from the dying man and rode on
till, from the loss Of blood, he fell.
Then, fearing the dispatch would be
taken by his enemy, he thrust it into
his wound until the wound closed upon
1t and concealed 1t. He was found
next day by British patrol, with a
smile Of honorable pride upon his coun-
tenance and with life just sufficient to
point to the fatal depository Of his Sc.
cret.
In searching the body the cause Of
MS death was found, for the surgeon
declared that the wound in itself was
not mortal, but was rendered so by the
irritation Of the paper.
Thus fell this patriot soldier. In rank
a corporal, lie was in mlnda hero. Ills
name was o'Lavery, and he came from
the parish Of Mora, in County Down,
Ireland.

There is a spot along the Des Moines
river which stands out wildly in my
memory not for Its extreme beauty
or because It was one Of the places
where Morris proposed 10 me. but for
the reason that l came very near ac-
cepting him there. 1t was too stidlng
an evening to spend In the heart of the
city, SO we rode out to escape the heat.

about horses and was rather afraid of

ed, naturally supposed that he had
come to ask again the question he had
asked me in our senior year at college,
three times afterward in letters and
once in person during his vacation Of
the summer before.
1t was the last night Of his stay, and
as yet he had not broached the subject.
BE had proposed a drive, but refused,
knowing its sentimental possibilities,
and had insisted on riding my little
brown mare Ginger and lending him
Doctor, fathers solemn old hack. We
saddled the horses ourselves and start
er from the driveway behind the barn,
In the soft dusk we trutted westward
over the river and past the residences
till we reached wooded bend Of the
stream beyond the yladuct. 1t was
quiet and cool, and we stopped near the
edge Of the bank, turning our horses
heads so that we could look across at
the myriad lights Of the city. We had
been laughing and chatting, but now
we were silent. could hear the beat.

if I was quite ready to give him the
answer for which he longed.

out of the book, and hence it is being
heralded as the greatest comedy success
Of modern times. It will please any
number Of people to know that David

strong one, and is under the direction Of
Mr.. Julius Calm. The play contains all
of the good things which made the book

Romance of a relic.

According TO London writer no Ro
man relic has met with so remarkable
fate as the tomb OF Avilius Teres,
the celebrated Jockey Of the time Of
Domitian. AT the end of the third
century it was first removed from Its
original site by an unknown patrician.
whose epitaph was engraved on the
back of the slab; second, a Christian
named Aurelius Romanus made use Of
it for his grave and that of his sisters.
When the Church of st. Maria
Transpontia was built in the eighth
century near the Castle Of st. Angelo
part of the slab was made use of in
laying the marble pavement. The
church was demolished in July, 1854,
by Plus ~. to make room for the new
Notifications Of the castle, and when
Pope Urban VIII, in 1927, built the
pentagonal bastion two fragments Of
the inscription came to light, one Of
which was lost, the other being re-
moved to Florence, where is still to
be seen in the Utlzzi gallery.
Inthe course Of general restoration
of the castle with view Of transform.
ing 1t into museum Of artillery many.
other fragments were found of which

A scientific analysis Of the growth of

that the increase is greatest and most
rapid during the FIRST and second years
