he measured up to the highest stand
ard of boyish bravery, and got away
with 1t.
Dick was playing in the yard of the
Corsa home. BOyiike, he wandered
into the roadway. In nearby field
the Percherons were unhitched, pre-
liminary to being housed in the barn
after the days work. Frisky and &C.
tive, the two big mountains of horse
flesh, knowing the evening meal await.
ed In their stalls, started on a run for
the barn-Over the roadway where
Dick Corsa was playing.
The youngster saw them coming,
turned to run into the yard, and fell
directly in their path. Billy Corsa saw
his baby brothers danger. Like fash
he ran into the road and pulled Dick
to his feet. There wasn't time to dash
to safety in the yard, so Billy Corsa
practically threw his brother behind
him, raised his arm high in the air,
palm out toward the pair Of horses,
and shrilled, tense and piercing:
Back, Dan! Back, Capt Back.
back, say!"
At that instant the pair Of Per-
cherons were but five yards away and
coming fast. There wasn't really time
for either Cap or Dan to halt the mad.
dened dash, and to "back There
wasn't time for either horse to obey
literally-to turn and run back. But
they - the Percherons - understood.
They recognized that command in that
boyish voice; that appraised arm Cap
swung to the right, Dan to the left,
and the horses passed both boys by
inches.
Then Billy Corsa took his white
faced, frightened brother into the
house. He was unconscious Of the fact
that he had pretty thoroughly exempli-
fed the real spirit of love for his
brother. and had measured in every
way to a heroic standard.

booty has already left Russia; the del

CHURCH LOOT IS RICH
Millions in Gems Are Seized by
Russian SoyietS.
Large Amounts Of Gold and silver
Also Taken by the Authorities
Precious Stones Are to Be
Sold Abroad.

Moscow.-The authorities have pub.
lished a partial return Of the amount
of precious stones and metals garnered
In as the result Of the seizure Of the
property Of the churches. 1t reads
like tale Of the Arabian Nights. OF
gold, 211a pools, Of silver, Is pools,
Of alloys containing some proportion
of precious metals, IS pools; most as
tontshing of all Of pearls pools have
been collected in the 80 provinces for
which the particulars are available.
They include the governments of Mos
COW, Petrograd, Kieff, Kasan and Mini
Novgorod.
The exact number and appreciation
of the diamonds is not published yet,
but we are told that the number Of
precious stones of value is 43,711.
These include diamonds, rubies,
sapphires and emeralds, topazes,
amethysts, garnets and the other semi
precious stones are contemptuOusly
dismissed as 'sackfuls."
Besides these riches that have ap-
parently been already separated, unset
and classified, there are ancient and
priceless works of the goldsmith's art,
set with gems Of great value that are
to escape the melting pot and be kept
In the state museums. A special COM
mission of experts has been appointed
to take in hand the valuation of these
masterpieces.
The description Of some of the gems
would make the mouth of any reSpec-
table merchant in Hatton Gardens wa
ter. Several diamonds of 40 carats and
over are mentioned, the prize Of the
collection being superb stone Of Al
carats. Pink and blue, yellow and
black diamonds have long paragraph
TO themselves. There is a touch of
fairy tale about the description Of
pearl of wonderful luster "the size of
a pigeons egg"
AS the intention is to sell these
riches abroad the suspicion that the
compilers Of the list are drawing the !
long bow Is natural one. In this in
stance, however, the Bolsheviks have |
probably no occasion to write fiction. |
1t was well known that some of the |
Russian churches possessed stones Of
almost uneQualled beauty and rarity. |
The Cathedral of St. Isaac in Petro- !
grad alone yielded nearly four pools
of pure gold. OF all the provinces
passed In review so far, that Of Mos
cow proved the richest treasure
ground, though that Of Petrograd
ran it close. The poorest booty was
obtained from the Yolga regions.
