I We were irirly risers at that time, and the whole brigade was usually under arms at the first flush of dawn. •One morning--it was the sixteenth of Jane--we had Just formed up, and •Cteneral Adams had ridden up to glv«» aome order to Colonel Reynell, within A musket-length of where I stood. /Wtien suddenly they both stood staring along the Brussels road. None of us dared move our heads, but e\yry eye In the regiment whisked round, and there we saw an officer, with the cockade of a general's aide-de-camp, thundering down the road as hard as n great dapple-gray horse could carry kim. He bent his face over Its mane, and flogged at Its neck with the slack at the bridle, as though he rode for ?»*ry life. * "Hullo, Reynell," says the general, •this begins to look like * business. What do you make of It?" They both cantered their horses forward, and Adams tore open the dispatch which tke messenger handed to him. The envelop had not touched the ground before he turned, waving the letter over Ms head as If it had been a saber. "Dismiss!** he cried. "General pa- «*de and march In half an hour." ; Then, In an Instant, all was buzz and jostle, and the news on every lip. Napoleon had crossed the frontier the day before, had pushed the Prussians before him. and was already deep In tile country to the east of us with a hundred and fifty thousand men. Away we scuttled |Q irather our things together ind have our breakfast, and ta an hour we had marched off and left Atb and the Pender behind us forever. Here was :rood need for haste, for the Prnssians had sent no news to Wellington of what was doing, and though he had rnshed from Brussels at the first whisper of it. like a good Old mastiff from Its kennel, it was hard to*see how he could come up In time help the Prussians. It was a bright, warm morning, and la the brigade tramped down the broad Belgian road the dust rolled up from If like the smoke of a battery. I tell that we blessed the man that plant 'A te' >•{-. fc «d the poplars clong the sides, for ihelr shadow was better than drink to jin. Over across the fields, both to the 2ght and the left, were other roads, le quite close and the other a mile |ar more from us. A column of fnfan- Itty was marching down the near one. ItnA It was a fair race between us, for me were each walking for all we were ffporth. There was such a wreath of jlost round them that we could only aee the gun barrels and the bearskins ireaking out here and there, with the ead and shoulders of a mounted offir coming out above the cloud, and e flutter of the colors. It was a bride of the Guards, hut we could not ell which, for we had two of them th us in the campaign. On the far d there was also dust and to spare t through it there flashed every now nd then a long twinkle of briehtness. e a hundred silver beads threaded a line, and the breeze brought down ch a snarling, clanging, clashing nd of music as I had never listened "jto. If I had been left to myself it iwould have been long before I knew What It was, but our corporals and jBergeants were all old soldiers, and I jhad one trudging along with his haljbert at my elbow, who was full of {precept and advice. "That's heavy horse,** said he. "You ieee that double twinkle. That means ^they have helmet as well as cuirass, jit's the Royals or the Enniskillens or ithe Household. You can hear their cymbals and kettles. The French heavies are too good for us. They have ten to our one. and good men. too. You've got to shoot at their faces, or else at their horses. Mind you that when you see them, coming, or else you'll find a four-foot sword stuck through your liver to teach you better. Hark! hark! hark! there's the old music again!" And as he spoke there came the low grumbling of a cannonade away somewhere to the east of us, deep and hoarse, like a roar of some blooddaubed beast that thrives on the lives of men. At the same instant there was shouting of "Heh ! heh! heh !" from behind, and somebody roared, "Let the guns get through!" Looking back, I saw the rear companies split suddenly In two and hurl themselves down on either side Into the ditch, while six cream-colored horses, galloping two and two. with their bellies to the ground, came thundering through the gap with a fine twelve-pound gun whirling and creaking behind them. Following svere another and another, rfour-and-twenty In all. flying past us with such a din and clatter, the bluecoated men clinging on to the guns and the tumbrils, the drivers cursing and cracking their whips, the manes flying, the mops and buckets clanking, and the whole air filled with the heavy rumble and the jingling of chains. There was a roar from the ditches and a shout from the gunners, and we saw a rolling gray cloud before us, with a score of busbies breaking through the shadow. Then we closed up again, while the growling ahead of us grew S louder and deeper 1 ban ever. | "There's three batteries there." said ? the sergeant. "There's Hull's and Webber Smith's, but the other is new. . There's some more on ahead of as. > for here's the track of a nine-pounder. and the others were all twelves. Choose tf a twelve 1f you want to get hit. for >; a nine mnshes you up. but a twelve . snaps you like a carrot"--and he went on to tell about the wonderful wounds .• ' that he had seen until my blood ran like iced water in my veins, and you might have rubbed all our faces In pipectay and we should have been no whiter. "Aye, you'll look sicklier yet when you get a hatful of grape Into your trtp?s." said he; and then, as I saw some of the eld soldiers laughing. I began to understand that this nuth was trying to frighten us. so I began to laugh also. and the others as well, but It was not a very hearty laugh either. The sun was almost above tls when we stopped at a little place called Hal. where there Is an old pump from which I drew and drnnk a shako full of water--and never did a mug of Scotch ale taste as sweet. More guns passed us here, nnd Vivian's hussars, three regiments of them, smart men with bonny brown horses, a treat to' the eye. The noise of the cannons was louder than ever now. and It tingled through my nerves Just as It had done years before when, with Edle by my side, I had seen the merchant ship fight with the prl ateers. It was so loud now that It seemed to me that the battle must be going on just beyond the nearest wood, but my friend the sergeant knew better. "It's twelve to fifteen miles off." said he. "you may be sure that the general knows that we are not wanted, or we should not be resting here at Hal." What he said proved to be true, for a minute later down came the colonel with orders that we should stack arms and bivouac where we were, and there we stayed all day, while horse and foot and guns. English. Dutch and Hanoverians, were steaming through. The devilVs music went on till evening, sometimes rising into a roar, sometimes sinking Into a grumble, until about eight o'clock in 'the evening It stopped altogether. We were eating our hearts out, as you may think, to know what it all meant, but we knew that what the Duke did would be for the'best, so we just waited in patience. Next day the brigade remained at Hal in the morning, but about midday came an order from the Duke, and we pushed on once more until we came to a village called Braine something.- and there we stopped, and time, too, for a sudden thunderstorm came on and a plump of rain that turned all the roads and the fields into hog and mire. We got Into the barns at this village for shelter, and there we found two stragglers. on# from a kilted regimen! and the other a man of the Germsn legion, who had a tale to tell that was as dreary as theAveathe^. Boney had thrashed the Prussians the day before, and otir fellows had been sore put to It to hold their own against Ney. but had beaten him ofT at last. It seems an old. stale^story to you now, but you cannot think how we scrambled around those two men In the barn, and pushed and fought just to catch a word of what they said, and how those who had heard were in turn mobbed by those who had not. We laughed and cheered and groaned all in turn, as we were told how the Fortyfourth had received cavalry in line, how the Dutch-Belgians had fled, and how the Black Watch had taken the lancers Into their square, and then had killed them at their leisure. But the lancers had had^the laugh on their side when they crumpled up the Sixtyninth and carried off one of the colors. To, wind it all up. the Duke was In retreat. In order to keep In touch with the Prussians, and it was rumored that he would fake up bis ground and fight a big battle Just at the very place where we had been halted. And soon we saw that this rumor was true, for .the weather cleared toward evening, and we were all out on the rldge to see what we could see. It was such a bonny stretch of corn and grazing land, with the crops Just half gwn and half yellow, nnd fine rye as high as a n#in\s shoulder. A scene more full of pence you could not think of, and look where you would over the low. curving, corn-covered hills, you could see (he little vHbisre steeples pricking up their spires atnone the poplars. P>ut slashed right across this pretty picture was a long trail of • marching men. some red, some green, some blue, some black, zigzagging over,the plain and choking the roads, one end so clofce that we could shout to them as they stacked their muskets on the ridge at our left, and the other end lost among the woods as far as we could see. And then on other roads we saw the teams of horses tolling and the dull gleatn. of the guns, and the men straining and swaying as they helped to turn the spokes in the deep, deep mud. As we stood there regiment after regiment and brigade after brigade took position og the rldjie. and ere the sun had set we lay In a line of over sixty thousand men, blocking Napoleon's #a.v to Brussels. Buf the rain hod come swishing down again, and we of the Seventy-first -ushed off to our bnrn once more, .where we had better quarters than the greater pnrt of our com rades. who lay srretf-hed In the mud. wrth the storm beating upon them untfl the- first peep of dayi' threw open the doors of our wt *t heard the most lovely mus!c"$S(tt 1 ever listen^ to playing somewhere in the distance. We all sfood In clusters hearkening to It, !t was so sweet and innocent -and sad-like. But .oar ser geant laughed when be saw how It had pleased us all. "Them; are the French' bands," said he; "and if you come out here you'll see what some of you may not live to see again." Out we went--the beautiful music still sounding in our ears, and stood on a rise Just outside the barn. Down below, at the bottom of the slope about half a musket shot from us. was a snug tiled farm with hedjje and a hit of an apple orchard. All round It a line of men In red coats and htgh fur hats were working like bees, knocking holes In the wall and barring up the doors. "Them's the light companies of the Guards," wild the sergeant. "They'll hold that fhrm while one of them can •wag a finger. But look over yonder, and you'll see the campflres of the French." We looked across the valley at the low ridge upon the farther side, and saw a thousand little yellow points of flame, with the dark smoke wreathing up slowly In the heavy air. There was another farmhouse on the farther side of the valley, and as we jvatched we suddenly saw a little group of horsemen appear on a knoll beside It and look across at us. There were a dozen hussars behind, and In front five men. three with helmets, one with a long, straight, red feather In his hat, and the last with a low cap. "By God!" cried the sergeant. "That's him! That's Boney, the one with the gray horse. Aye, Til lay a month's pay on it." I strained my eyes to see him. this man who had cast that great shadow over Europe which darkened the nations for five-and-fwenty years, and which had even fallen across our outof- the-world little sheep farm, and had dragged us all--myself, Edle and Jim--out of the lives that our folk had lived before us. A? far as I could see he was a dumjuf square-shouldered •kind of man. and he held his double glasses to his eyes with his elbows spread very wide out on each side. I was still staring when I heard the catch of a man's breath by my side, and there was Jim, his ey~' glowing like two coals and his face thrust over my shoulder, "That's he. Jock." he whispered. "Yes, that's Boney." said L "No, no; It's he. This De Lapp or De Llssac, or whatever his devil's name Is. It is he." Then I saw him at once. It was the horseman with the high red feather in his hat. Even at that distance I could have sworn to the slope of his shoulders nnd the way he carried his head.. I clapped my hand upon .Tim's sleeve, for I could see that his blood was boiling at the sight of the man, nnd that he was ready for any madness. But at that moment Bonaparte seemed to lean over and say something to De Llsstvc, and the party wheeled and dashed away, while there came the bang of a gun and a white spray of smoke from a battery along the ridge. At the same instant the assembly was blown In cur village, and, we rushed for our arms and fell In. There was a burst of firing all along the line, and we thought that th? battle had begun, but It came really from our fellows cleaning their pieces, for their priming was in some danger of being wet from the damp nig t.

The knocker In a common wild animal you have all met. He Is known by the loud noise which he makes all the time, which sounds like the strokes of a hammer on an anvil. I never knew of a place which did not have at least one confirmed knocker. One Is enough to go around. The knocker seems to be afraid of dying from shame If he should ever be caught saying something good about a -f*erson. He knocks the folks he works with.' If you mention a good thing about a man', he is always ready with his "Yes. but--" and then he starts in with a long string of defects to offset the good qualities. This animal has very keen eyes when he is looking for defects, but for good qualities he is stone blind. In nine cases out of ten he is envious or Jealous, and when one has a feeling of Inferiority, it is much easier to "run down" other peopfe than to lift one's self up. Many men do It Who do not meap to do the harm they cause, hut It Is n habit they easfly get into, and it nof only does harm to other people, but it robs a man himself of the pleasure he might get Ofct of the' good things In other men.
