The survivon of the Immortal charge

years ago sat down together the other
afternoon, u binall company of gTizzled,

the chair was Sergt. Herbert of the
Fourth Light dragoons while Lieut.
Wightman of the Seventeenth lancers
rccupied the vice chair. The commit

rnrvivors, and the result was the ap
pearance of twenty-seven men only. As
they met hearty grawps were given,

worn spoke of Berviee m India during

though the veterans, with one excep

the medals were conspicuously dis
played There were over thirty guests

the now life mingled together and com

Of those present :n the charge ther
were nine of the Eleventh hussars, nine
of the Seventeenth lancers, eight of the
Fourth light dragoons, on. of the
tscots Grevs aiul two of the Llhth
Royal Irish hussars. The single sur
vivor who wore his uniform, and prob
ably the finest man in the company,
was Sergt. l'awke, who stood six feet
in height and measured fort "-f our
inches around the chest. He was twenty-two
years of age when he rode with

She was of uncertain age and thin,
and she could not get her piano up tha
boarding-house stairs. So the cartman
rigged up a tackle from the roof, put
Danger" cards on tha sidewalk and
hoisted the dangling rosewood and ivory
through the window. The hall bed
room boarder next door watched her ar
rival with mingled horror and curiosity
'I'm afraid she means business," he
remarked scntentiously to the hall bed
room board at the other end of the hall.
"Some people have pianos for ornament,
but nobody h'iSts up a pianner with a
pulley unless they mean business."
That afternoon the piano-tuner ar
rived, and when he went away tha
ownw started in, ravished the ears o
the hall bedroom boarder with a steady
stream of melody from four o'clock till
dinnertime, and after that she hung to
the keys until quarter past eleven.
And every time she trod on the loud
pedal the hall -bedroom boarder fairly
shook in his bed.
The next day the musical arrival de
roted herself to vocal exercises.
"She has a new system," exclaimei
Jie hall-bedroom boarder, who had tak
tn it in through the keyhole. "Sha
tands off in the middle of the floor and
takes flyers at the music."
How do you mean," asked the old
p-entleman from the second floor, wha
had come up in his dressing-gown and
carpet slippers to discuss the situation.
1 mean she loads up with a page of
music, and then stands off and peppers
the piano with big and little notes."
"It's worse than cats," added the hall
bed room boarder sadly, as he turned
in.
The neA morning was Sunday, and
at eight o'clock the new boarder was at
the piano. She kindly omitted scales
and exercises, and worked off "Considci
the Liilies." The hall-bedroom boarder
next door dressed with feverish haste.
A moment later he knocked at his neigh
bor's door.
"I beg pardon for disturbing you," he
said, when she appeared, "but I have a
trifling favor to ask. I notice you have
been singing 'Consider the Liilies. I
want to ask if you won't sing the com
panion song, 'Consider the Hall-Bedroom
Boarder. It's asking a good deal,
but the whole household is interested
tn your music"
"You're impertinent, sir," she said,
angrily, slamming the door in the ap
plicant's face, and again the flow of
melody began.
After dinner, just as the boarders
were beginning to stroll upstairs, a pale,
determined-looking woman hurried
down to the landlady.
"I wish my bill immediately," she said.
in an excited way.
"You are not going to leave on Sun
day," remarked the astonished mistress
of the household.
"I am. I will send for my piano to
morrow, if you will have the dynamite
taken out." -
"The dynamite!" gapped the land
lady.
"Exactly. There's a notice on my
piano which says that enough dynamite
has been placed uuder the keys at C ma
Jor to blow me a mile and three-quarters.
I tiptoed around and packed up
the few things I had out, and now I'm
going. Yon have a miserable house and
a horrid, hateful crowd of people," and
the musician snapped her pocketbook
on the change and flounced out, leav

It was iu a Chicago street car. The

well. Her gloves were worn and her
black dress rusty.
Perhaps she couldn't help it. Perhape
theie were those at home who needed
the money, or what it would buy, that
would have purchased more fashionable
attire. But this thought never occurred
to the two men, or rather males, who in
a half insolent and wholly sneering way
made side remarks about their fellow
passenger's appearance, and said it was
plain to be seen that "she was no lady."
Presently an old man with a heavy
basket boarded the car. The big, ro
bust fellows whose unkind language
had brought a blush to the shabbily
dressed woman's cheek never stirred.
But she did, and giving the old man her

When the Italian woman, who held
one child in her arms and had three
other little ones clinging to her in fear,

she took the hands of two of the chil

the other side.
When passing out of a down-town

she held the door ajar until the woman
