"Major Goodwin's granddaughter la In
town , " said Mrs. Kcnvon. "Tlio major lias
asked mo to come nml sec her , and lie wants
jou to cnll on her , Charley , lie \\ould Ilka
her to meet eomr of Urn bo8 and girls of
jour set ; she Is to bo here Govern ! weeks. "
"Who Is ehe7" Charley Inmilrcd.
"She Is Marian Hnwes , from East Burckett.
Her mother and I erc the best of old
school frlendo. "
"Hast Hurckotlt" Charley repeated. "Osh-
koshl Podunhl Hhe must-bo a Jiy. "
"O. Charley I" said his mother. Her tone
mailo further words unnecessary. And Doll ) ,
Charley's 10-year-old sister , eyed him \vlth
ehrcuil comprehension.
Charley was gelling "stuck-up. " In her
heart Dolly wns ccitnln lhat it was due to
his new gold Match and chain. Coming on
the licclr. of his new rcd-wheeled roadcart ,
Daily wns convinced tint the \\atcli and
chnln Itail dntio the business At an } rate ,
ho had started u golf club , and or tile glrla In
hln set ho preferred llccsle Mai tin , chiefly
because Bho hail linn to Europe twice , and
ho had developed n liking for scaring h' '
patrnt leather dancing shots In the daytime
null ho talked about Ihltiga being "swell" or
not swell , and ho whipped around town In
his red cart at n tremendous rate "Just ex-
nctlv as If he wan a young man , " Dolly said ,
"and ho Isn't a bit ; bo's Just a boyl"
Charley's mother went to see the mijor's
granddaughter , with Dolly. She retained
the visit , but Charley was not at home
Dolly took a fancy to her and she took her
best doll and went again to see h r. The
astonished and grieved ; and Dolly gazed at
him In bewilderment ,
"I do believe you've gone crazy , " Chancy
cried. "Did jou really expect me to like
1 ohould think a fclrl like that would set
jour teeth on edge I good gracious ! " he
oalil , explosively , and he gave up trying to
express himself , and ran tipfltalis.-
A UKVELATION
"I wonder If ehe's scon those copper-toed
{ nhoca ? " he srcctllntcd ; but ho did not ask
' her. Nothing more was said about the
mnjor'o giaiuUlaiifthter , Indeed , for several
diva. And then his mother told him fho
had Invited Mar' ' v Haves to dinner that
( .veiling.
Charley wished ho hail an Invitation out
to dinner himself that night , hut ho had
not. There was nothing to do but to make
the be a of It
Ho wan a little late to dfnncr ; they were
all seated The major's granddaughter wna
Keatod opposite him , and there was n tall
VEOO between them
"You were ppsaklng of jour school ,
Marian1 snld hln mother "MUo Moulton'a
! school nitons a high stamlntd of scholar-
, ship. If reports arc true. "
j "O. have wo such a reputation for being
i brilliant' " the gill replied , laughing prct-
j tlly. "Hut perhaps VP don't deaeive It. "
I "You don't find jour studies too hard ,
then ? "
"O , no.Vc have so many things to do
when wo want n change tennis and the
gymnislum , and hlcj cling and basket ball
nud lowing. Mia ) Moulton makcH u specialty
of athletics , and we all tncourago her In
that. "
Then Charley looked at her ,
Ho saw a comely young girl. Was It the
"wnnnc DID YOU GHT THOSE COPPER coi.onnD snons ? "
visitor had been in town for two weeks by
that time , but Charley hail not called upon
bc'i' , and when his mother spql.o of It a second
end tlmo he * said in so many words thatr ho
hadn't time and that ho didn't ore about
"Jay" gills , anyway.
"Charley , " said his mother , thla time with
serious displeasure , "I did not think that
my boy could he so "
Charley felt an uneasy willingness not to
hear the remainder of bis mother's speech.
" 0 , I'll go. I suppose , " ho consented , Biilklls ,
and ho went and got his hat and stalked off
to call on the gill fiom HaHt BureKctt.
A UUGULAK JAY.
I Miss Marian was at home , the maid In-
o qformed him , and she reappeared to eiy that
r , fiho would be right down. She was not , how
ever. Chiiley had sat staring at the walls
for nlno minutes by his watch befoic ho rose
to grec-t the major's granddaughter.
She shook hands with him so heartily that
Ills II11 BUIs tingled. "How do jou do/ / " she
ciled. "I'm awful glad to see you. I've
hear I lots about jou. Your little slstci , shc'e
bragged you up like fun , and I'm glad I've
got a chance to find out whether jou're as
smart as she thinks jou are Cunnlh' llttlo
thlm ; , ain't she ? Don't look like you. Well ,
I don t Know hut her nusu 1s a little scrap
like journ. "
The major's granddaughter said It all in
a hi oath. She had plumbed down on the
sofa and she sit Blaring at Charley and beam
ing And Chuilejin spite of his good breed
ing Charley staled back nt her. She wore
a red plaid waist nnd a sMrt of bright blue ,
and her hair was frtziled down to her cyc-
biows. "Good graelous ! " Chailey remarked
lliwnrdlj' .
"You wasn't td home when I was to your
house the other day , was jou ? " Marian
Hnwcs proceeded. "Dolly , she na > n jou ain't
to homo much , anjhow. She rays wlirn jou
nln't to school jou'io either plain * gawlf
that H ? "
"Golf. " said Charley , slimy.
"PinIn * gavvlf , or drivlu' 'round In jour
now buggj1. I seen j'ou ouce. I knew 'twas
jou , lor she bald 'twas a led buggy. You
was goln' llcketj-split ! You've got a high
btcpper of a liorsc , hain't jou ? I'm used to
drlvln' , but I hain't never drove that kind of
a rig. My pa's got liurtc , but they ain't Uko
yourn I s'pose jou'd call 'cm old plugs.
Uver ben to Kist lluickett ? "
"I never have , " oald Chailey. Ho tried tel
l efp his cjes off her shops. They were heavj- ,
they weie oalftkln and ho could scarcely bu.
llovo It but they were copper-toed.
"Well , jou'vo misled It , " declared the
major's giamldaughUr "It's red nice out
to l.'est Burckett. " 1'aln't such a big place ns
this Is , but it's bU enough. We've got a
tolillctn' monununt , right In the middle of the
town , There ain't any opeiy house , like
yourn here , but thcie's a town hall , nnd
there's leal good troupes come along and gUo
performances. They K O "Undo Tom's
Cabin" Just bcfoie I eome away and there's
'man alwajs glass blnwcru 01 something , and
U makes It real lively. "
"It must , " eald Charier. To himself ho |
kept saying , "Oood gracious ! " and wonder-1
In , ; how the major could possibly get along
with her , and how soon he eould take his
leave resprctnblj.
Marian Ilawes did not seem to notice his
stiffness at all. She talked away volubly and
cheerfully. U seemed to Charley that she
talked about ever ) thing under thu sun. She
asked him If ho could "elng by note ; " she
asked him it I'o could dance ,
"Wo hain't ever had any dancln' school
out to East Burckett , " hhe said , " \\Vvo \ had
eliiKln' achools , though , ami debatln * lyceume
and 'most everything , "
"If she's got back to Hast Burckett , I'm
golugl" Charley determined , and hu rose.
"Goodness , you ain't goln' yet , be you ? "
ebo ejaculated , "My , what snippy little \la.
Its jou makol Sit a llttlo longer , won't
'
you ? "
"I nm agrald I can't , " eald Charley , flrmlj ,
and In eplta of her protests hu shook hands
and made his adleux.
"Well , my goodness , Como again wheii
jou can't stay so long , " mid the major' !
granddaughter ; nnd the went to the dooi
with him. Charley noticed that she bail
a pretty face , but what face would look
prttty under a mop of frlzrlcd hair. And
over a string of yellow gla's beads ? UK
drew long breaths of relief ga he strode
down the walk.
And that wag the major's granddaughtrr !
"Well , how do you like Marlon Hnwre.
Charley ? " said bla mother when he got
home.
"I < lke her ? " Charley repeated lu a sort
of vupurcuned roar. "Uko her ! I don't
know how you can ask It , mother , I think
( he's vlmply awful ! "
"Why , Charlejl" ald his mother , nJ
eho looked aitonlihed and grieved. Actually
same girl ? Yes ye , It certainly was. But
where wcie the fiix ea ? Where was that
Ill-fitting , invfiil plaid waist ? The girl ho
gized at wore a blue silk waist with a
whlto rlbbom collai , and her thick hair was
parted from her smooth forehead , quite
slmplj. Theio were no glass bcaila There
was nothing that was not perfectly modest
and ladjllke and etjlish and becoming.
Charley eat dumb and motlonlcfb. He
was staring broadly , and ho waa unable to
stop. Ho waa not suio but tint his mouth
was hanging open.
"Lot. me see , " hh father was saying , "I
think I'vo met join father , Divid Havvet ,
He's quite n travelci. Isn't he ? "
"Yes. He only waits for
my summer va
cation to pack IIB ofT fcotncwhere. Last sum
mer wo went abroad. Papa. Is talking about
Alaska now , and we ate filing him wo think
It would be exactly the place for us all "
said the major's granddaughter , with her
bright laugh.
Clmrlej ttrugglcd to catch her ejes. He
did not succeed. Ho made a remark and she
looked ever at his salt cellar ; ho put a ques
tion to her and she dropped her ejc to her
plate as she answcied demurely.
CHARLEY'S APOLOGY.
Ho fretted and fum.d ; ho devised plans
nnd projoets. And when they rose fiom the
table ho cairled one out.
"SpoiUnR of flowers , " he said although
nobody had spoken of floweis "would jou
like to see our lemon tree. Miss Marian ? "
"I I " Marian began evasively , but
Chat ley led her out on the porch and around
to the coiibeivatory.
"There ! " ho said. "Now , where did jou
get these copper-toed shoes ? "
The gill from East Dmckctt put her hand
kerchief to hei lips to hide the smile that
"CHAnLEY STARTED BACK AT HER. "
quivered thnre. Jt v.as nol to bo hidden
It Increased nnd intensified , and it melted
into nn Irrepressible , mirthful laugh.
"I found thorn In the gniret , " she nn-
Bivored , ns soon ns she could speak , "And
the other things belong to the cook's nleee ,
You will never forglvo me ; I don't suppose
there's any use In my nslting jou. But Doll )
I told me Dolly and I arc good friends , jou
know that you didn't cnro ubout coming to
sco mo because I cnmo from East Burckett
nml jou thought I would bo n 'Jay , ' nnd jou
didn't like Jays , And the Ide.i occurred tome
mo all nt once , nnd I couldn't leslst It.
Wo'vu had llttlo plajs at school , wo girls
and I thought I could act a gawky country
girl well enough , for I did once. And of
course , " said Marian , simply , "I nm a coun
try girl only not qulto that kind.
"Anil the cook's niece comes to wash
dishes every daj- , and I knew her clothes
would do splendidly , and I gave her a drcbs
of mine and borrowed them. I had them
ready for a whole week before you came.
That was why I took to long getting down to
the i arlnr. I had to get Into all those things
nnd friz my hair the wa ) the cook's niece
wears heia. "
"M-h-hm , I see ! " said Charley.
Marian looked down at the ro o In her belt.
"I thought , you Know , " she murmured , "tbat
Blnco jou vvrd so sure tbat I would be a
Ja > ' of tha worst kind I wouldn't disappoint
jou. But It waa a dreadful thing lo do.
Mamma would be perfectly shocked at me.
And of course you will never forgive ma ? "
"Oh , I don't Know , " said Charley. He felt
that not to forgive so brUht a girl as Mai Ian
Hawc'j. so pretty and delightful a girl , was
a feat bcjond him.
It wan too good a Joke lo be kept. When
they went back to the parlor Charley told it ;
mul ho was so ( ai In the spirit of It himself
that he did not cjru at all that Dolly jumped
ubout hilariously , and his father slapped hU
knee nnd roared , and his mother laughed till
the fairly cried.
A ueek later Charley gave a danro in
Loner of the major's granddaughter , u tv * ;
his own proposition , and bin mother con
sented ( o It warmly. It was a ntco affair ;
the only blot upon Charley's enjoyment nas
the persistency of the other bojfi In getting
Introductions to Marian Hawcs nnd securing
dances with her , Charley could get only thu
opening march , a two step and part of a
waltz , and ho thought himself lucky to get
that much.
Ho talked It over with hla mollier ho next
day , amid the tcll-talo disorder 'nf tlanclfs
cards and wilted flowers that llflcVcd the
waxed floors.
"Marian wns the- belle " his mother snld.
"I should say sol With a capital IJ , " said
Charier.
"You wcro not socry attentive to Bessie
Martin , wcro jou ? " his mother queried.
"O , I danced with her once or twice , " eald
Charley. The truth wns that he- had found
the major's granddaughter decidedly more
attractive.
"There Is one thing about It , Charley , "
Bald his mother , terlouslj"If Marian
Hawes had really bcon the girl you thought
Blip was when jou called on her , I suppose
nothing could have prevailed on you to go
near her ngaln.
"And I want to ask jou if jou think that
would have been Just right , " said his
mother , with her hand on bis head , "Bc-
cause people nre not Just to our tnslc. IsIt
n good tc-Ron for erntlng them contemptu
ously ? I don t think mjsclf that nice clothes
and outward good manners nre cverj thing.
And If we have had better advantages than
some others , should we not have patience
with them ? Shouldn't we be the more willIng -
Ing to associate with them , so ns to let them
learn from us some of the things tint wo
have been taught , nnd they hnvo nol ? "
"I know what jou mean , mother , " said
Charloj , soherlj"I've thought of It my-
scli' I think that little Joke of hers has
donu mo good. I believe I deserved it. And
I'm not sure but that nlie meant it that way ,
too , " said Charloj- . And he went elf ,
thoughtfully whistling , to have his cart got
readj and to lake the girl from East Burclc-
ctt for a drive.

A SntliMl .Mine that Turm-il Out io lie
n ll < inaiizu.
Not long ago atlenllon was nllructcd lo
White Pine county , Nevada , by reports that
rich gold strikes had beer made there. But
ono of the old mines , lhat excited much
comment when it paid to mine silver ores
In that region , Is the Black Metal , In Saw
Mill canjon , not far fiom Cherry. Its dis
covery was the direct consequence of an
attempt to fleece an unsophisticated tender
of flocks.
He had worked had for a number of yearn
and saved h's monej' . This he entrusted tea
a storekeeper In Cherry creek , who subse
quently failed In business. When the herder
came Into camp to get some of his earning *
he learned that his cash , together with that
of many others , had been appropriated to
pay debts of the luckless merchant or help
support him. After u fellow has lived like
an Indian for a couple of years and looked
forward to the time when he might gain a
little enjoyment thiough the money thai
was Intended to partially recompense him
for such a life , it Is pretty tough to learn
that somebody else has. In Ihc meantime ,
had the benefit of his cash and only ex
perience is loft to him. That was the way
the herder looked at It. He had a few
hundred dollara in his pocket , after he had
settled with his employer , and he proceeded
to temporarily dull or efface his memory nnd
leeolleetlons in dilnk. He was well on the
reid when a converoatlon slarted In a bar
room. The herder swore he would never
more vvoilc fer wages Somebody wanted to
know how he intended to get along In life
aa his own master. " 0 , I'll go to mining , "
wns the replj.
Moio than one mine has been discovered hy
men oi' his , elasa , but through sheer accident
have tl'ey almost invailablj been found One
of the loungers in the saloon when the new
declaration of Independence was announced
by the tips- holder V.ME a ubiquitous char
acter known as "Nigger Dick. " Ho was as
oneiy a black as ever existed. On all occa
sions he persisted in taking part In conversa
tions when neither his Intelligence nor stand
ing In the community would warrant
( amlllai Ity. On this occasion he came to the
front. Ho said he had a bonanza up In Saw
Mill canjon which ho offered to sell.
To keej ) up the Interest n miner dlsplajcd
a rich pocl.ct specimen and Dick stuck to1 It
that It came out of his claim. The darky
wanted to sell on ths spol and just about
sized up the border's pile , when he fixed a
valuation on the claim. The new candidate
suggested the trade better go over till morn
ing. That was precisely what Dick was
afiald to do. Tor the fun of the tiling a .
jollj German became an ally of Dick and
tiled to help along a trade , rinally the sheep
herder's money was given Into the German's
1'ccplng i > s trustee. It was consideicd too"
t'ooj a Joke to keep and It leaked out before
the liquor was qultu out of the drunken min
ing speculator He sobered up enough to
know , or , at any rateto bellov'e that he-
had been swindled. Then ho limited for Dick
to kill hint and even threatened to do the
same by the Geiman Instead of making n
killing the fellow wont back to herding again
Dick didn't get his money , but was driven
out of town foi * chewing a man's hand In an
alteication glowing out of the transaction
liut that lean quartz outcrop covered a
sure-enough mine So much was heard about
the claim that some miners who happened to
bo In the vicinity out of curiosity , struck a
pick In the shallow hole that Ulck started
Something caused them to go deeper , and
when down a few feet they turned up rich
mineral. In short , n mine was developed
from which shipments of ere were made to
Salt Lake City that netted a handsome sum
per ton. The ere waa sprinkled with black
specks that looked like charcoal nnd wan a
high grade of silver At one time the prep ,
orty was bonded for upwards of $100,000 and
a trade would have been made In 1893 at
close to these figures had It not been for the
slump in the price of silver.
Speaking of accidental finds of rich min
eral , It Is a matter of notoriety that eomo of
the most striking Instances have been In
connection with "salted" mining clalma.
Many Instances might be enumerated where
unscrupulous hangers-on In a new camp
came out second best when trying to ( him-
ble-rlg n tenderfoot. In on& of Utah'a
noted dUnrlcU , Tlntlc , a mine that now ranks
high as a piodncer , was salted soon after
the first excitement there , nnd In the early
dajs of Eureka camp. What was planned an
a clean and dead steal aitually lc-,1 to ground
being pi expected on which was devel
oped a rich mine The hard-fishd Yankee ,
whom It wnh Ir.tcndul to rob , has taken out
some of the richest silver ore over mined In
the state The pi eduction of tbu Eureka
Hill mlnr to which reference Is made hat >
amounted to mlllloiih of dollars' worth of
silver and lead Ihe profits can only bu es
timated , for It Is a private property , but the
best poated mining otcck broker in salt Lake
City estimates them at * 1,650,000. . " Except for
the rich specimens of on ) hidden , among the
grass roots , John Q. Packard wouldn't ' have
thought of bujlnt ? the property. But there
was no need to carrj the rich stuff there , as
waa done by the sailers , for far more valu
able ore could have , been found by bunting
for It right on the surface.

DEEDS OF A FAMOUS GREEK LEADER
Thrilling : Account of the Ti'liiiniili of
400 Gr < M-ltM OILI11,000 Tin-Ulili
lu thu AVar
of 1S1I1.
PendliTe the heroic struggle of the modern
Greeks against their old opprcosors , the
Turks , It is not Inappropriate to recall some
ot the incidents which marked the
memorable revolution begun hi 1S21 ,
and , after a contest of six jears ,
ended In the freedom of the
GrcckD. That the modern Greeks arc worthy
descendants of the men who fought at Marathon
then and Salamls was signally shown during
the whole course of that momentous struggle.
Among the many who fought and died for
fieedom and humanity , relates the St. Louis
Globe Democrat , perhaps the most striking
figure was Marco Bozzarb , Immortalized by
Hallcck. A brief account of the fall of that
Immortal hero may be found Interesting at
the present time.
In 182.1 the management of the war In
Arcananla was confined on the part of the
Tuiklsh government to Mustapha , pasha of
Scutari , with'Isouf , the pasha of Serres ,
as his second In eommaml. They found
twch difficulty in organizing a sufficient force
that the whole of June and July waa pas-aed
in preparing a crops of 8,000 men at
Prevesa. Isouf had taken up a position at
Pouda , a village clone to the ancient Ac-
tima , there to await the pasha of Scutari.
The latter was advancing with hl own
tre-opa and a large contingent furnished by
the pasha of Thebsaly , Mareo Eoz arls was
at Katochl , between Missolonghl and Vonlz/a ,
with Joncaa of Agrapha , to whom ho hud
been reconciled after a long enmity. Their
utmcst force did not exceed 1,200 tnoa , but
with these It was decided they should con
tinue closely to watch the motions of the
enemy. While , however , Mustapha was on
his inarch from Agrapha to Vraciirl , fully ex
pecting to bo Joined there by the troops at
Provesa , the Albanians , who formed the
( lower of Isouf's army , no booner received
the allowances usually made before entering
the field than they mutinied , threatened
the life of tholr commander , and after com
milting numerous excesses wlthdicw to
their respective homta. Even Isouf's tent
was not spared on this occasion , while ho
bin self only escaped by embarking and Hy
ing to Pntras witli a few of his attendants.
CAUSE OF THE MUTINY.
The cause of this mutiny and desertion
was afterwards traced to Omcr Vrlonl , an
other Turl.lth leader , who had become Jeal
ous of Isouf's military fame and determined
to strip him of all miars of co-operating
with Mustaplm In the present campaign. Ho
accordingly wiccccdcd In persuading the Al
banians to Join his own standard , and took
post at Lepanoio , to the right of the
Acheron , with 4,000 men. On reaching
PatraB , Isouf Pasha sent a body of troops to
be landed nt Crlonero , not far from the posi
tion of Marco Bo/zarls , with orders to at
tack the Greeks In flank. Apprised of their
landing , the Soullote chief foil on the Turks ,
and , having either killed or taken prisoners
more than two-thirds of the whole number ,
the rest were glad to recapo to their boats ,
Hearing that a division ot 2,000 men was
advancing on the sldo of Valtos , llo/zarls
sent a detachment In tbat direction to prevent -
vent their approach , whllo ho himself de
termined to dispute tlw entrance of Mus-
tapha Pasha into Acarnanla. To effect this
Important object It became necessary to
undertake ono of tboso extraordinary foreed
inarches which had so frequently secured vic
tory to the Greeks during the pending con-
lest. It wns this alone which enabled him
to reach Carpenlsa In time to prevent the
consequences that must have followed a sud
den Invasion by Mustapha The enemy's
army reached the front'er ' ot Arcananla on
the 10th. of August and encamped on an ex-
tenslv'o fl'laln near the above place ; it
amounted to 14,000 men , while the Oieeks
could with dlfllculty collect 2,000. Undaunted
by such fearful odds , Dozarrls , whose pre
vious , gallantry had awnkeneJ the most flat
tering hopes of his future heroism , was now
destined to exceed the most sanguine an
ticipations of hls < frlendti and admirers. A
general council of the chiefs and soldiery i
being summoned , Marco pointed out the Im
possibility of making a regular attack on the
enemy , whllo on tbo other hand , their coun
try nnd its cause was Irretrievably lost If
( hey did not take advantage of the night
and endeavor by an act of bohlneta , required
by the Interests of their country , to prevent
tbo Turks from entering- the plains around
Missolonghl This opinion being acquiesced
In by nil present , ho addressed his companions
a second time , and having drawn a Haltering
picture of the glory which awaited those who
look part In the Intended attack , as well .is
the service they were aboul to render Greece ,
the hero called upon those who vero rcndy
to die for their country to bland forward.
The call was answered by 400 men , chiefly
Soullotcs , who , according to the ancient prac-
Uco of Soull , when Ihej * were determined lo
conquer or die , throw away their scabbards
and embraced each oilier. Having selected
300 to act Immediately about his own person ,
Bozarrls dlrecled dial the remainder of the
troops hhould bo formed into three divisions ,
for the PUIPOEO of assailing the enemy's
camp nt different points , whllo he penetrated
to the center with his own chosen band.
ON TO VI'TOflY AND DEATH.
EVPTJ thing being prepared by midnight on
the 18th of Julj- , the last wordn of Bozzarls ,
on assigning to each chief and soldier the
part he had to perfnim , were "If you lose
sight of mo during the combat coma and
seek me In the pasha's tent. " Ho then iet
forwaid , closely followed by the sacred bat
talion , wliic the thiee stratarchs or minor
chiefs , destined to make theii attack at sep
arate points , nlso proceeded to Iheir ota-
tlons. In order that this should be simul
taneous. It was. agiccd that not a shot was
tu bo Hi el 01 a svvoid drawn until the ) hcaid
a bugle sounded. Bozzarls was enabled lo
advance by addressing the TuiUloh sentinels
In the Albanrsn language and telling them
ho came with re-enforcements from Olmer
Vrlonl. On reaching the center he sounded
the bugle , upon which thu attaric commenced
on every bide The enemy , eithei unprepared
or panic-stricken , fled In all directions , while
those who resisted frequently mistook their
comrades for enemies , perishing by each
other's hands.
Whllo dealing death around nnd encourag
ing Ills companions to profit by so favorable
a movement the voice of Bozzarls was recog-
nUed , nnd Just as he had ordered the chief
pasha to he belzcd a ball stiuck him In the
loins ; though the wound was dangerous , he
concealed it , and continued to animate the
men , until wounded J. second time t. ) thu
head , when ho fell and was bornn from the
field by a party of boldlcrs. Notwithstanding
this disaster , the struggle w.ia milntaliu" !
with the utinoft spirit till ilajllght , at which
tlmo the Greeks taw tlicnmlvcs undisputed
masters of the Held , those of the enemy who
did not perish having abardoned their camp ,
leaving the ground covered with the dead ,
eighteen standards , ,1 quantity of baggage
and ammunition , toretliei with a number of
horses nnd bovenl thoiuanil head of oxen.
Whllo the loss of the Infidel army could not
be Ires than 3,000 men , that of the Christians
wan only thirty Killed and seventj wounded ;
of these about half were Sullotoj.
Brilliant as this triumph must bo regaidcd ,
It was. the most dearly bought of all tlicao
acquired by regeneiatrd Greece. 'I hough un
blessed with the advantages which science
and education bestow , Maico Bo/zarld was
endowed with all UIOSM manly virtues and
that simplicity of character which are only
to bo found In the heroes of Plutarch , Ills
conduct from early life , whether in his
capacity of citizen , patilot nnd soldier , had
excited the hopes and won thu ndmliatlon of
the whole Greela people. Surely the last net
of his life will beai an advantageous com
parison with the mcwt envltd moment In
that of Lcontdas , or the hero of Mantlnfa
To his bleeding country it was an h repar
able loss. Yet It would hive been Impos-
tlblo lo die a more glorious death ; while , If
antiquity could boael a name , whleli has
seivcd us a never-fading Illustration to poets ,
orators and hlotorlans , modern Greece may
safely put forth that of Marco Doziarls ns
being acarcely lees entitled to the palm of
Immortality.
