garrisons and harassing the troops sent

tas-and it was only after hysterical
demonstration on his part that he had
been accepted as a soldier. He simply
would not be left behind At first the
Guhans regarded him with mingled
contempt and pity, for certainly no

the occasion of the very first fight all
lll-v'ill disappeared as If by magic, for,
although Branch deliberately disobeyed
orders. he nevertheless displayed such
amazing audacity in the face of the
enemy, such theatrical contempt for
bullets, as to stupefy every one More

continued to be insanely daring, vary
ing his exploits to correspond with his
moods, with the result tbat he attained
popularity which was unique, ray
