DEATH OF cHEvALEER BAYARD
Gallant French Knight Met End Hero
icaIiy while Leading Fight
Against Traitors Army.

1t was on April 80, 1924, that the
CheyaIier 1Bagard was killed in bat
tie His end was characteristic. En-
gagged in a campaign in northern Italy,
where the, EimpeEtal, array under the
traitor, De Bourbon, was pressing hard
upon the retreating French troops,
Bayard was asked stoe take the com
inland and save 1.-THE army. - 1t ia too
tate, y he said, '.but my soul IL Gods
and my life is my fcOuntry's-" Then
putting himself at the. head of a body
of men at arms. he held the enemy at
bay until struck down by a ball. He
was thrown from his horse, but re-
fused to retire, saying that he had
never shown his back TO thesenemy.s Z
He was placed against. a tree. fac
ing the advancing host . In the want
of cross he kissed his sword, and
because of the absence of a priest. he
confessed to his maitre, d'hotel. When
De Bourbon came, up. and expressed
regret at seeing him in such condition,
he said: weep for yourself, sir. For
me, have nothing to complain of a
die in the course of my duty to my
country. You triumph in betrayfng
yours; but your successes are horrible
and the end will be sad."a Having
uttered these words the gallant knight
died and was buried by his enemy on
the field with military honors.

cod-skin for Book covers.

According to the Weser Zeitung
(Bremen), a Berlin bookbinder has
discovered new material for book
binding Goldfish skin-a dOubly-wel-

skin for book-binding is no novelty !;
among others, shark leather had pre-
vfously been used for binding de luxe
for the sake of it's durability and beau
