TIE GENERAL REMEMBERED
Corpornl About to Be Punished Pleads
Former Act Of Kindness and
Is Let Of.

When Wellington was engaged in
the peninsular war one of his favorite
generals was Crawford, who, although
a stern disciplinarian, was greatly al
mired by his soldiers. In yelling
toms L~ieutenants" the author tells OF
an incident which won for Crawford
the affection of his soldiers as well
as their esteem:
One day, when Costello was on
guard, Crawford came riding up with
his orderly, when two men burst out
of a house with some bread they had
stolen. At that time the division was
on very short commons.
The men were holly chased by a
Spanish woman, shouting: "Ladrone!
Ladronei"
The general and his orderly cut into
the pursuit, the leaves were given
back to the woman, and the thieves
sent to the guardhouse.
But there was a strange sequel TO
that incident. The next day the men
were tried by brigade court-martial,
and sentenced to punishment. The
brigade was formed up; the proceed
ings of the court-martial were read,
and the general proceeded to improve
the occasion by lecturing officers and
men.
"Strip, sir!" he said, addressing him
self, by way of peroration, to a cor
poral who was one of the offenders.
The man submitted to be tied up
in silence; then turning to the gen.
eral, he said:
"Gen. Crawford, l hope you will for
give me-"
mo, sir; your crime is too great"
If the crime was great, the penalty
was severe; he was to be reduced to
the ranks and receive $50 lashes.
Then he made another appeal:
do you recolleet, sir, when under
command of Gen. Whitelocke, IN
Buenos Ayres, we were marched prlS-
oners with a number of Others 10 d
pound surrounded by a wall? Ihere
was a we'll in the center, out OF when
l drew water with my mess-tln' ny
means OF canteen straps | collecIeo
from the men who were prisoners IKE
myself. You sat on my knapsack;
parted my last biscuit with you. You
then told me you would never forget
my kindness. II is now in your pow
er. sir: YOU know how short we have
been of rations for some time.
The whole square was touched, and
waited. The bugler told off to inlet
the punishment, after an interval, re-
ceived the usual signal from the bugie
major. The first lash was laid ON.
Then the general exclaimed:
who taught that bugler to fog?
Send him to drill. He cannot hog!
stop! Take him down. | remember
it we'll I remember it we'll" while he
strobe up and down the square, NUT
tering inarticulately, blowing his nose
and wiping his face with his hand
kerchief. busily striving to conceal
the emotion which was evident to all.

word to fire, and as fast as they could

came to our relief.

that we must get our revolvers out
