One of the heroes of the day was an insignificant . looking little reservist who had come out of a tailor s sho; There was precious little of the sol- dier in him, judging from his outer man. He was fegular little malin- gergr, who shook wth fear at tlie sotind of every shot fired by a gun. There was no nee dto tell him to lic down. He sstreteHied himself full length on th ground as soon as his comrades knelt down to fire. Suddenly the colonel gave the order to rise and deliver an attack. The regiment rushed forward, but in the yery first moment the standard bearer fell mortally wounded. The flag was picked up by a man who rushed to the firat to climb the rampart and there planted the flag with a Hurrah Mathematical Bravery. The regiment hardly knew how to believe its eyes, The dashing warrior Was none other than-the Tite tallor, breathless but smiling. His comrades crowded round him and showered congratulations upon him, When the babble was over the Crown Prince came to thank the soldiers and in so doing he asked to see the one who had shown himself the bravest of the brave.
