came it was raining, and the
general delayed his Start
half an hour, SO that his

ruined. When he arrived at
his post the battle was over
by fifteen minutes, and
Napoleon had lost his op-
portunity to become world

This is the most striking illus
tration we can think of to

doing the right thing at the
