there was still deeper silence when
Ito began to ep•eak again.
"There is no secrecy in England.

Cheers again arose. Never had the
Bramber Arnts heard such cheers.
Darcy Lonsdale's face had grown
deathly pale; but for the strong
arm of hie son thrown around him
he would have fallen.
"I have one word more to say, gen-

Some of the Famous Qualities of the
Russian Soldier,
A Rusian generel, writing on the
Russian soldier in "Armies of To -day,"
. says: "Obedience is so deeply rooted
in the mind of the Russian soldier that
during my thirty years' experience of
the army I do not remember to have
witnessed ore single ease of insubor-
dination, either in times of peace or in
tiniest of war,"
The Russian soldier's most marked
characteristics are, according :to the
same authority, sineere and nnafteeted
love for his »march, profouna religions
piety, united with the idea of the Ozer
and of the Fatherland; nulimited coma
dence in his chiefs, very strong esprit
de corps and a 'faculty* of endiaing gaily
and naturally the greatest privations
He is, moreover, distinguished by a
good humor that never abendons him
even in the most difficult moments, and
by a gay and scontentecl.way of facing'
all the decrees of fate. Ire dies at his
poet.
I have seen Min, says the general, in
winter on sentry duty, on tbe heights
of Shipita, die standing surrounded with
snow, and transformed. literally into a
statue of ice; I have seen lent, die on
the march, * yielding up his last
breath with his last step; I have seen
him die of his wounds on the battle-
field or An the itospital, at a distance
of 3,000 miles from his native village—
and in these supreme moments I have
always found the Ruesian soldier sub-
lime.
