both on and off the battlefield. How
many know the story Of the little Brit
ish bugler who accompanied Colonel
Rennies column in the disastrous adj
vance against General JacksOn's in
trenchments at New Orleans a hun
dred years ago?
A whitening fire Of cannon and mus
kerry greeted the British troops as
they charged the American redoubt-a
fire that for deadly accuracy has rare
IL been equaled.
The young bugler at once climbed
into a small tree and straddled Il limb.
From this conspicuous position he con-
tinued to sound the vibrant call to the
charge. Cannon balls and bullets killed
scores of men beneath him and even
tore away branches Of the tree in

But the bugler still blew the charge

had been attending him, placed himself
under the young doctors care. These
We're the instructions he gave him in
the language he would write an order:
you are not to attack my disease

use every effort, take every risk, to
keep me alive till my son arrives that
we may meet once more on earth. In
case you succeed $4,000 will be paid
you from my estate by my son, whom
l shall instruct verbally to do so. If
am able to give him the instructions
you will receive the money. If am
not able to give them you will receive
nothing but an ordinary fee"
Never did young physician have a
better chance to make a start in his
profession. The doctor devoted him
self personally day and night to his pa
tent. Ten days remained from the
time he was engaged before the cap
tain could possibly reach the bedside
of his father. Every stimulant known
to the profession was administered to
the invalid, but in spite of all Of them
he gradually sank. Eight days passed,
and there was barely enough strength
left in him to keep him conscious.
Then came message that the ship
in which the son was coming was
making port at San Francisco.
When a telegram was received an
n0uncing that the captain had left the
Pacific coast for home it was known
that he would arrive on time in three
days at noon. The doctor told the
colonel of the time his son would be
with him and urged him to nerve him.

But twentyfOur hours before the

fully till the morning of the day his
son was expected to arrive. Then he
fell away so rapidly that his doctor
felt obliged to administer the most
powerful heart stimulant known to the
profession. 1t revived the patient, but
not for long. Then oxygen was ap-
piled and lastly galvanism.
By such means the doctor succeeded
in keeping his patient alive till the
hour and minute the train was due.
Then came word that it was an hour
late. For a moment the doctor was
staggered. Then he resolved on what
proved Il stroke of genius. The colonel
lived near an army station, and the
doctor telephoned the situation to the

Keeping Him
Alive
BY F. A. Mitchell

The old colonel lay dying. His son.
q captain in the army in the Philip
pines, was on his way to see his father
before he died and was expected every
hour to arrive He was the apple Of
the old soldiers eye. They had fought
together in the Spanish American war.
The colonel had seen his son wounded
and carried past him to the rear, but
had refrained from any further ex-
preston of grief than a God bless
you, my boy" and had pressed on at
the head of his regiment. The son had
recovered and after peace came had
been sent to the United States posses
sions in the Pacific.
When it was known that the colonel
had not long to live the son was mott
fed and, having secured leave of alb
sence, sent word that he would start
for home Immediately. They told the
father that his boy was coming, and
for time it buoyed him up wonder
fully. But his disease was rapidly
wearing him out, and he soon fell back
again.
Doctor" he said to his physician,
"can you keep me alive till my son
arrives"
Il shall try, colonel
But you must"

The colonel was not satisfied. His
doctor was an old man brought up in
the old time school, and his patient

On the next day per cent Of COM
mon salt is added and in two more
days 100 per cent Of pure quicksilver
or as much as the assay OF the ore
shows is required. This mass is then
trodden up by horses for fifteen days.
1t is then wheeled to large tank
through which passes rapid stream

This residuum is poured into cone
