from their homes to Los Angeles TO
insure themselves a quiet wedding
and to outwit friends.
They came here. got their license,
and went to the home OF friend
where a minister was waiting to per-
form the ceremony.
There their troubles began. Mes
seHgeFs arrived with kilograms OF
congratulations from friends In all
parts Of the country.
A second contingent OF messengers
brought packages OF old shoes.
Then q private detective announced
himself, and after an imposing dis
play of authority, presented the

from the disaster. Deford y, whfch
Ney had sent obliquely TO the left, as
III he had presentiment OF the snare,
arrived entire. The cuirassiers hurled
themselves upon the English squares.
AT full gallop, with free rein, their
sabers In their teeth and their pistols
In their hands, the attack began.
There are moments In battle when
the soul hardens man, even to
changing the soldier into a statue, and
all his flesh becomes granite. The
English battalions, desperately assail
ed, did not yield an inch. Then II
was frightful. All sides of the Eng
lish squares were attacked at once.
A whirlwind OF frenzy enyeloped
them
This frigid infantry remained Inn
passable. The first rank, with knee
on the ground. received the cuiras-
shot them down; behind the second
rank, the cannoneers loaded their
guns. the front OF the square opened,
made way for an eruption OF grape,
and closed again.
The cuirassiers answered by rush
ing upon them with crushing force
Their great horses reared, trampled
upon the ranks, leaped over the bay
onets, and fell, gigantic, in the midst
Of these four living walls. The walls
made gaps In the ranks of the cuiras-
siers; the cuirassiers made breaches
In the. squares. Files of men disap-
peared ground down beneath the
horses feet.
The cuirassiers. relatively few In
number, lessened by the catastrophe
OF the rayine, had to contend with al
most the whole Of the English army;
but they multiplied themselyes-each
man became equal to ten. Neverthe-
less, some Hanoyarian battalions fell
back. Wellington saw II, and remem-
bered his cavalry. Had Napoleon, at
that very moment. remembered his
infantry. he would have won the bat
tie. This forgetfulness was his great,
fatal blunder.
Suddenly the assailing cuirassiers
perceived that they were assailed.
The English cavalry was upon their
back Before them the squares, be-
hind them Somerset-Somerset. with
