Beside him lay a beautiful girl. who

her heart was still beating, but hs

Sheep Saved Battalion.

A sheep saved a battalion Of French
soldiers from q cold night in the
mountains and perhaps from Z more
serious disaster in tho neighborhood
OF Mentone.
A battalion Of an Alpine regiment
had started from Sospel, plateau
in tho hills above Mentone. whore
there are picturesque golf links, and
was lost in Z heavy fog.
Nobody had 4 compass. and know
ing tho dangers Of the mountain tho
omcer in charge Of the battalion gave
orders to his men to halt and mako
the best Of things until the fog lifted.
But q stray sheep saved the situa-
ton. With vivid recollection Of tho
grass Of the sospel golf links tho
sheep was hurrying down the noun
tain side and plunged right through
the battalion.
The soldiers followed. and they ar
rived at sospel an hour later.
