Like the students OF today In the
great struggle he left his books for
the Mexican war. He served again
in the civil war and rose to be
maJor-general in the volunteer
army. As after the Mexican epi-
sode, he returned again to the law;
he was governor of Utah from 1873
to 1881. and minister to Turkey from
1881, to 1885, when as a good diplo-

From the days of the scenes at the

OF life was at most but a year. His
mother and sister were inmured in
a secret cell in the Tower Of Antonio,
where they were doomed to the fate
of lepers. The only act of kindness
Ben-Hur could remember during the
years that followed was on the day
he was dragged to the galleys. THE
