but went through without a pause, as tho
rain still fell and tho wheols at tho beot

fnrmor was finally located with a blazing
kitchen flro and drenched garmenta wore
hung up to dry, while their ownora spent a
peaceful night botween blankets.
Met 1' KreiiiouturM,
On tho morning of May 13 tho squad fol
lowed tho railroad track into Fremont, being
received several miles out of tho town by a
delegation of Fremonters, Tho boys weru
conducted to tho Young Men's Christian as
sociation rooms, whero they were treated to
the luxury of a shower bath and a rub
down. Until 2 o'clock tho boys relaxed
tholr tired limbs in the reading room and
then went on tho diamond to cross bat
with tho Fremont aggregation. Btemm and
McDerroott had come from Omaha by train
to act as battery. The Fremonters wero
too woll trained ln individual and team
work, however, and tho gamo ended with
tho score 14 to 1 In their favor. In tho
evening tho Fremont association enter
tained their vanquished guests at an in
formal reception. Thero woro a number of
literary and musical numbers and refresh
ments were served at the cloao.
Tho next morning, May 14, proraleod an
Ideal day for tramping cloudy and cool.
The boys made good progress along tho
Military rond toward Elk City. While sev
eral of tho party wero at a farm houso
well a hay wagon passed and tho memboi'3
on the highway caught a ride. The bo ato 1
ones, Including Director Dames, niado
horolc efforts to overtako tholr moro for
tunate friends, but gave up the attempt
after having been swamped In a eandy flold,
Tho boys covered eight miles during tho
morning and nine during tho afternoon,
coming about 4 o'clock to a reward worthy
of all tho pairs expended the Blkhorn rlvor.
After a delightful awlm tho boys prcaaed
on to tho farm of a Mr. Jungbluth, near
Elk City.

At the farm thero were a number of

When, during tho terrific onslaught of
,. ,.,!,. l',il,,rlnn Wnlllmrlnn
the- cavalry at Waterloo, Wellington
orders that certain batteries woro
... . .. . .,
-uidoned and that tho men we
t(l(u ,ufUtr0 within tho squares, C
to bo
wero to
Captain
Merch ordered thoso under his command
to stick to their guns. Thoy obeyed, and
with such success was their courngo
crowned that thoy repulsed thrco charges
of thu llorso Grouadlurs with so groat a
sluughtur that on tho morrow thu position
they had held could bo ascertained by tho
vast heaps of slain that lay around.
At Vlttorla, In 1813, Wellington sent di
rections to Iord Dnlhouslo to advance with
tho Seventh division, supported by tho
Fourth and Sixth, and attack tho bridge.
Tho aldu-ilu-camp, to whom waa Instructed
the delivery of tho order, chancing to pass
General I'lctou, Inquired of him whothor hu
hail seen Lord Dalhousto,
"No, sir," answered Plcton; "hut have
you any orders for mo?"
Tho other replied lu tho negative
"Then pray, sir, what ordors do you
bring?"
And on the nldo-do-cnmp telling him tholr
purport, ho added with extreme hautour:
"You may tell Lord Wellington for mo,
sir, that the Third division, under my com
mand, shall lu less than ten minutes attack
thu bridge and carry It, and thnt tho Fourth
and Sixth divisions may support me it thoy
choi sc."
Then with a shout of "Como. on, yo ras
cals! Como on, ye fighting villains," he put
himself nt thu head of his men and galloped
forward to redeem his promise.
Although Colonel afterward Sir Henry
llardlngo cannot bo said at Albucra to have
acted lu direct contravention to orders, his
ahsumptlon of command nt a tlmo when tho
irommaiidur of tho allied armies, General
Ilurosford, had virtually ordered a retreat,
would, but for Its rosultant success, havo en
tailed on him sorlous consequences.
Ah It was, by ordering Generals Colo and
Abercromblo to ndvunco with tholr divisions
ho completely chnngod tho fortunes of tho
day, nnd, by driving tho French boforo him
down tho hill, convorted an almost certain
defeat Into a brilliant victory,
