you may see the ribbon, but Ihe medal
Jtself I keep in a leathern pouch at
Jiome, nnd I never venture to take it
out unless one of the modern peace ncn
erals, or some foreigner of distinction
who Muds himself in our little town,
takes ndvantag-e of the opportunity to
Jiay bis respects to the well known
I'.trisritdler Uerard. Then 1 place it upon
my breast, and 1 pive my mustache the
old JUreno twist which brings a cray

ftfir that neither they, nor you, either,
my friends, will over realize the man

civilian with an air and it manner it is
true but still merely as a civilian. Had
you seen me as 1 stood In the doorway
of the Inn at Alamo on the til st day of
July in the year lsli) you would then
have know what the hussar may at
tain to.
For a month I had lingered In that
accursed vlllase, and all on account of
a lance thrust in my ankle which made
It impossible for me to put my foot to
the ground. There were three of us at
first old liouvet, of the hussars;
Jacques ReKiiler, or the cuirassiers,
and a funny little voltih'eur captain

Ah, that happy July day of which I
apeak when first I limped to tin; door
and stood in the golden Spanish sun
shine! It was but the evening before
that I had heard from the regiment.
They were at Pastures on the other
side of the mountains fane to face with
the Enfi-llsh not forty miles from me
by .road. But how was I to get to
them? The same thrust which had
ierced my ankle had slain my charger.
took advice from Oomez, the landlord,
nd from an old priest who had slept
hat night in the inn. but neither of
hern could do more than assure me
mt there was not so much us a colt
ft upon the whole country side. The
ndlord would not hear of my cross
tr the mountains without an escort,
r he assured me that Kl C'ur hillo, the
anlsh guerilla chief, was out that
y with his band, nnd that It meant a
ith by torture to fall into his hands.
old priest observed, however, that
did not think a French luiKsar
uld be deterred by that, nnd if I
1 had any doubts they would of
irse have been decided by his n-
irk.
But a horse! How was I to get one?
wan standing In the doorway plotting
P.nrl T.lnnninir when I lii.rtnl thr. flinu: i.f
Pho'en, nnd, looking up I saw a grent
bearded man with a blue cloak frogged
across In military fashion coming
toward me. He was riding a big
black horse with one white stocking on
his near foreleg.
"Hullo, comrade' said I, as he came
Up to me.
"Hullo!" paid he
"I am Colonel (lerard, of the hus
sars," said I. "f have lain wounded
for a month, and T am now ready to
rejoin my regiment at I'ustores."
"I am M. Vldal, of the -commissariat,"
he answered, "and I am myself upon
my wny to I'astores. I should be glnd
o have your company, colonel, for I
ear that the mountains are far from
if."
"Alas!" said I, "I have- no horse. Tint
if you will sell me yours will prom
ise that wn escort of hussars shall be
sent back for you."
He would not hear of It, and It was
in vain that I lie landlord told him
dreadful stories of the doings of Kl
Cuchlllo, and that I pointed out the
duty which he owed the army nnd to
the country. He would not even argue
but called loudly for a cup of wine. 1
craftily asked him to dismount and to
drink with me, but he must have seen
something In my face, for he shook his
head, and then as I approached him
with some thought of seining him by
the leg he jerked his heels Into his
horse's flanks and was off in a cloud of
dust.
My faith, It was enough to mnke a
man mad to see this fellow riding away
bo gayly to Join his beef barrels and his
brandy casks, and then to think of my
five hundred beautiful hussnrs without
their leader. I was Raxing after him
with bitter thoughts In my mind when
who should touch me on the dhow but
the little priest whom I have men
tioned. "It is I who enn help you," said he,
"I am myself traveling south." .
I put my arms about him and as my
ankle Wve way at the same moment
we neaUy rolled upon the ground to
gether.

vent of Spiiilu Saneto. It Mliows how
necessary il is to lake what you can
when you are upon ;i campaign, ami
how Ihe most unlikely tilings may be
come useful.
"I will take you," said lie. in very ex
cellent Kivni lt, "not because I hope for
any reward, hut because it is my way
always to do what I can to serve my
countryman, and that is why 1 inn s
beloved wherever I go." With that he
led me down to the village to an old
cowhouse in which we found a lunible
down sort of diligence such as t hey
used to run early iii this century be
tween some of our more remote vil
lages. There were three old mules, too,
none of which were strong enough to
carry a man, but together they might
draw the coach. The sight of their
gaunt ribs and spavined legs gave
me more delight than the whole
two hundred and twenty hunters
of the emperor which 1 have seen 111
their stalls at l-'ontaiuehleau. In ten
minutes the owner was harnessing
them into the coach, with no very good
will, however, for ho was In mortal
dread of this terrible (.'ui-hillo. It was
only by promising him riches in this
world, while the priest threatened him
with damnation in the next, that we at
last got him safely upon the box with
the reins between his lingers. Then
he was in such a hurry to get off out
of fear lest we should find ourselves in
the dark ill the passes, that he hardly
gave me time to renew my vows to the
innkeeper's daughter. T cannot at this
moment recall her name, but we wept
together as we parted, and I can re
member that she was a very beautiful
woman. You will understand, my
friends, that when a man like me. who
has fought the men and kissed the
women in fourteen separate kingdoms,
gives a word of praise to the one or the
other it has a little meaning of its own.
The little priest had seemed a triile
grave when we' kissed good-bye. but he
soon proved himself the best of com
panions in Hie diligence. All the way
lie amused me with t::!es of his little
parish up In the mountains and I in
my turn told him stories about the
camp, but my faith I had to pick my
steps, for when I said a word too much
he would lidget in his seat and his face
would show the pain that 1 had given
him. And of course it is not the
art of a gentleman to talk in anything
but a proper manner to a religious
man. though with all the care in the
world one's words may get out of hand
sometimes. He had come from the
north of Spain, as he told mo, and was
going to see his mother in a village of
F.stremadura. and as he spoke about
her little peasant homo, and her Joy In
seeing him, it brought my mother so
vividly to my thoughts that the tears
started to my eyes. In his simplicity
he showed me the little gifts which he
was taking to her, and, so kindly was
his manner that 1 could readily believe
him when he said that he was loved
wherever he went. He examined my
own uniform with as much curiosity as
a child, admiring the pluni" of my
busby ami passing his fingers through
the sable with which my dolman was
trimmed. He drew my sword, too.
anl then when I told him liow many
men I had cut down with It, and set
my fingers on the notch made by the
shoulder bone of the Russian emperor's
aide-de-camp, he shuddered and placed
the weapon under the leathern cushion,
declaring that It made lilm sick to look
at it.
Well, we had been rolling nnd creak
ing on our way whilst this talk had
been going firward, and as we reached
the base of the mountains we could
hear the rumbling of camion far away
upon the right. This came from
Messena who was, as I knew, besieging
Clmlad Itodrigo. There was nothing 1
should have wished better than to have
gone straight to him. for ho was the
best. Jew that I have heard of since
Joshua's time, nnd if you are In sight
of his beaky nose nnd bold, black eyes
you are not likely to miss much of what

Kvery mile tint, passed my heart grew
lighter ami lighter until I found myself
shouting and singing like a young en

of seeing all my line horses and my gal

So bleak nnd wild was It, one great

you when your own nerves play you

maddening pain of my wound, there

knees on his chest. Then for the first
time he sen amed horribly, while I.
half blinded, felt about for Ihe sword
which he had so cunningly concealed.

gentlemen and English ladies who are
constantly visiting our shores disguised
either as guests or reformers'.' Cannot
some simple formula of good manners
be handed each one of these di-'lin-guished
tourists as soon as Hie Custom
House ollleers have finished with them,
to guide them In their intercourse with
the crude natives of our land? Wo
are crude and illiterate people, lacking
all the finer rciiuircments of civilized
life. Some of us wear low-cut collars
and splay-footed trousers Instead of the
present correct thing in Bond street;
some ire f er pie with their breakfast
instead of orange marmalade and cold
mullins. Many of us are absorbed In
making money, and all of us are oc
cupied In building up our own country
at least since lTTil. We have neithel
the glories of England's past nor the
grandeur of her present, meaning her
aristocracy, but T have yet 'to hear one
of our native vulgarians rising at a ban
quet of ICnglish ladies and gentlemen
a bamiuet given In his or her honor
and offending every right-minded guest
at. the table and every other English
man, as did T.ady Somerset in Boston,
when she stated, assuming to speak
for her own countrymen, that the Eng
lish "would not send any more paupers
to America if America would promise
not to send any more million. irles like
Wiliam Waldorf As tor to England."
i:hihiting HI Taste.
If I. being only a commoner, with my
old fashioned ideas of American cour
tesy, kindness of heart, and consider
ation for another's feelings, could pre
sume to advise so distinguished a rep
resentative of English thought and
manners as Lady Somerset, I would be
bold enough to say, even at the risk of
being considered outspoken to a women,
that It is to mymind quite as Incumbent
upon her to be a lady as to be a re
former, and that, knowing, as she must,
that the object of her attack was at that
Very moment on the ocean following to
her open grave in this country the
dead body of his wife, the selection of
-Mr. Astor as a mark of ridicule and
contempt rcllected neither credit on her
ancestry or her assumed title. It Is a
matter of no moment whether Mr. As
tor has made himself obnoxious to cer
tain of Lady Somerset's friends or not.
If he has he Is- the first American with
money who has ever displeased them,
if he has kept bis pockets buttoned
against the constant drain of his Eng
lish friends It Is because he has perhaps
discovered that, being an American, he
Is valued by them for bis wealth and
nothing else.

But Lady Somerset Is not the only of
fender against good tasteand good man
ners. Not long ago a distinguished
member of the British parliament,
after a limited express Journey across
our continent, with only such knowl
edge of the people as could come from

full of thoughtful men nnd good wo

few weeks ago this same Englishman,
the Hon. Mr. Burns, member of parlia

bounteous hospitality, that Chicago
was "a pocki t edition of hell," anil
when asked to qualify his remark only
ii mended the statement by altering the
phrase to "hell Is a pocket edition or

Another I npleiisiint Instance.
Again, It Is but n year or two ago that
another subject of the Queen, Justly
renowned Tor his genius, whose name I
will omit n dcl'eronce and respect to
his craft, absorbed to the fullest extent
every courtesy and kindness which our
people generously offered him, and
then requited the attentions that art
ists, nulhors.'nnd every oilier class of
citizens could shower upon him men
nnd women who loved his books nnd al

n running lire of criticism In a London
journal, much more course and brutal
than any line he had ever penned, ami
v,i far as the facts were sustained,
equally good fiction.

who will compile a short, concise form
ula to be handed to every Englishmdn
who lands on our shores, with plain,
simple rules that may be of vice lo
ladles of renown, members of parlia
ment, and even authors, beginning
with the reminder that they tire land

pitality amounts almost to religion
a hospitality that hus led our people,
without discrimination of race or rank,

who steps on these shores. And that,
despite tho fact that In several notable
Instances mistakes have been made by
them in the selections of their guests,
nevertheless we Americans nri still
willing to believe that theso guests

Eifgllsh nation, and that, therefore, In

TO OUR
Washrnirn-Croshy Co. wish to assure their many TiU
rons t mt tliwy this year hold to their usual custom
of millmS SIKJCJ LV OLD WHKAT until the new crop
is Hilly cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owiiiK to the excessively dry weather uianv millers nra
of the opinion that it is already cured, uiid in proper
condition for miUing. Washburn-Crosbv Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before (irinditii;.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed ashburn-Ciosby Co.'s Hour far above other
brands.
