French and Bavarlans. Near the scene
OF action he met u number of wound

on the road by their commander for
want of horses to draw their carTiuSes
In the retreat.
The archdulke, who on many coca
sIons had shown his humanity. Inn
medIately ordered the horses to be
taken from several pieces OF cannon
that were being hauled to the rear.
"The life of one brave man is better
worth preserving than fifty pieces OF
ordnance" he said.
The abandoned guns fell into the
hands of the French commander. who,
wSen he heard of the motive that had
prompted the sacrifice, Immediately or
dered the wll1le to be sent back to the
