It was in 1859, a few days after the bat- tle of Solferino and San Martino, won by the united Italian and French forces dur- ing the contest with Austria for the liber- ation of Lombardy. On a beautiful June morning a little troop of cavalry left Saluzzo and advanced cautiously against the enemy, following deserted bypaths and closely scanning the adjacent country. The company was led by a commission- ed officer and a sergeant. All marched in silence, peering eagerly into the distance, their eyes fixed straight ahead, each mo- "Poor boy!" repeated the officer sadly. latent expecting to catch a glimpse of the "Poor, valiant ladl" enemy's vanguard shimmering through He went to the house, took from the window the tricolored flag and spread it like a funeral pall over the little lifeless form, leaving the face uncovered. The sergeant gathered up the scattered shoes, cap, little walking stick and knife and laid them beside the dead boy. Again them ensued a few moments of silence. The officer then turned to the sergeant and said: "We will send the ambulance for him. He shall have a soldier's burial." By a movement of the hand he wafted $ kiss to the dead and commanded: "To horse!" All sprang to their saddles. The troop the boy. "But the tree shelters me. Have no fear.

"On the left," cried the boy, inclining bis body in that direction, "over there by the chapel, I think I see"— A third sinister hiss shot through the upper air, and almost simultaneously the lad was seen to drop.

From the Reporter, Palmerston, Ont, the trees. In this manner they stumbled upon a little rustio hut embowered in ash trees. Before it stood a solitary boy of perhaps a dozen years, who with a knife was busily engaged in peeling the bark from a little fallen bough for a walking stiok. A large tricolored flag fluttered from one window of the cottage. Not a living being within. Having hung out their banner, the peasants had precipitately fled through fear of the Austrians.

"Why did marching two by two in the selfsame you not run away with your family?" "I have no family," answered the lad. "I am a foundling. I work a little for everybody. I staid here to see the war." "Have you seen any Austrians go by?" "No; not for three days." The officer pondered a few moments, then ho sprang from his horse, and, leav- ing his soldiers in line just where they had halted, their faces to the enemy, he entered the house and mounted to the roof. The building was low and from the top nothing could be seen except a little stretch of level country. "Some one must climb to the tree tops," said the officer as he went down. Just across the garden stood a lofty, slender ash, whose swaying branches reached the very sky. The officer mused awhile, his gaze wan- dering from tree to soldiers again and again. Then he asked the boy abruptly: "Helve you good eyes, youngster?" .answered the lad. "I can see a mite of a sparrow a mile off." "And could you climb to the top of that tree?" "That tree? Could I? I could be up there in half a minute." "And then could you tell me what you saw from there—if there are Austrian sol- diers over in that direction, clouds of dust, glitter of guns, horses?" "To be sure I could." "And what would you ask for doing me this service?" "What would I ask?" said the boy, ture, only litterateurs.

In order to get a better view the lad loosened his hold with his right hand, using it to shade his eyes. "What do you see?" demanded the offi- cer. The boy bent over toward him, and, making a speaking trumpet of his hand, replied: "Two men on horseback on the White road." ''H',W far away?" "lit.If a mile." " Are they moving?" "They have halted." " hat else do you sec?" asked the offi- cer at ter a moment's silence. "Look to- ward the right. The boy turned bis glance to the right and said: "among the trees near the cemetery there is something which glitters. It looks like bayonets." " Do you see any people?" "No; they are hidden in the grain." At this instant the shrill whistle of a bullet shot through the upper air, dying away in the distance behind the house. "Como down, my ladl" cried the officer. "They have seen you. That is all I want to know. Down, quick!" "I am not afraid," answered the boy. "Come down!" repeated the officer. What else do you see on the left?" "On the left?" "Yes; your left hand." The boy inclined his head leftward. Coincident with tho movement another and sharper hiss rent the air at a much lower range than the first. The lad quiv- ered from head to foot. "The deuce!" he exclaimed. "That was meant for just me l" Tho ball had almost grazed him as it flew past. "Quick!

The news of the little lad's death had already spread among the soldiery before their leaving eamp. The pathway, follow- ing the course of a tiny stream, led to within a few steps of the house. When the chiefs its command of the bat- talion saw the little corpse extended at the foot of the ash tree, enveloped in the tricolored flag, they saluted it with their sabers, and one of the number, stooping down, plucked two blossoms from the flower besprinkled bank of the tiny rivu- let and threw them on the diminutive bier. Then each and every sharpshooter in passing plucked flowers and strewed them over the dead boy. In a few minutes the little form was covered with blossoms, and officers and soldiers alike saluted him as they marched past: "Hurrah, little LOTIlbardl" "Farewell, my lad 1" "I salute thee, golden hair 1" " Vivat 1" "Bravo!" "Bravissimo 1" "Adieu!" One officer oast him his costly medal; another bent to kiss his childish brow. And flowers continued to shower down upon his bared feet, on his blood stained bosom and his sunny hair. And lying there on the green grass he slept, enveloped in his banner, his coun- tenance pale, but almost smiling, poor boy, as if he heard these greetings and rejoiced that he had given his life for his cher- ished Lombardy.—From the Italian For Short Stories.

The gray gowns this year are extremely dainty and handsome, and they appear in every sort of material. Knife plaited frills appear once again among the fluffy trimmings of the airy summer gowns both for day and evening wear. There are no surprising novelties in parasols this year. Chiffon is almost om- nipresent, and when this is absent lace is found. A very large portion of the diaphanone6 silks and muslins this year aro trimmed with loops, bowknots, bands and ildating ends of velvet ribbon of medium width. Tho new "dresden" challies are manu- factured in Lyous, and they show many of the very attractive designs popular in the silks and small patterned satins of last winter. It seems quite likely that the new re- trousse hats, turning abruptly off the fate, will be very strong rivals this season to those worn very far forward or tilted up at one side and down on the other. The navy and army bine serges, foulards, mohairs and lightweight costume cloths are made into stylish tailor costumes tor traveling and general wear, that lead their own against all the endless smart and novel gowns which the present season has produced. The most elegant black gowns just now •shown at the importing houses are of \ ery lustrous watered silk, made in princuss style and trimmed very elaborately on the bodice portion and front of the gown with black lace, with girdle and yoke, bretelle or vest piece of the finest cut jet. Bright colored capes of plaited silk mus- lin, lisse, chiffon and transparent silk are one of the fancies of the season. 1 he nu' terial is accordion plaited, and billows and yards of it are used fur each cape, whit is pointed front and back, short over tile sleeves.

Wilhelm earnestly desires to make the fine arts flourish in Prussia and in this re- spect, as in all others, to set the pace for the German empire. He is generous in exhorting cities to raise monuments and helps all he can. He is indefatigable in visits to studios and in encouragement to sculptors, painters and other artists whom he regards as able. It is, however, only under great disadvantages that a man on a throne encourages the arts. His very power stands in his way. The importance of what he says is such that a criticism exercises a crushing effect. The fact that he is of so impetuous and self confident if not exactly domineering a nature puts him at this disadvantage. Ho admires greatly certain artists and their works and almost violently dislikes the works of others He is a petty partisan, and, what is worse, he cannot help it, because he gets it by inheritance frets; some old Slavic prince of an ancestor who in his own day probably caused the artists of the wrong camp to be sacrificed to the grim gods of paganism. —Century THE WHEELMAN'S FRIEND No bicyclist should be without a bottle of He,gyard's Yellow Oil.
