Regularity of exer- cise is also an important element in the development of the highest T)nwer of the horse. The horse in regular work will suffer less than another, for he becomes gradu;ally and thoroughlyaccustomed to what is required of him.

If only thei so I of South Africa could voice the deeds performe3 upon it, how many Victoria Crosses would have bun found to have been earned by Canada's sons! It I; hard in the heat of action to notice every act of valor, and therefore only those which take place under the eye of superiors of sufficient rank can be noted. The picture shows one of such deeds. Two troopers are closely pressed by the enemy, The horse of one is hit. Under the withering fire, the man whose mount is unharmed halts, and, risking everything, waits to get his comrade safely mounted behind him and, carry him back to the Canadian lines. It is a desperate deed, and one 'often performed but seldom noticed. When, however, such an act is seen, the reward dear to soldiers' hearts above every other is the result. This picture is from the brush of Mr. W. B. Wollen, an art'st famed for his war pictures, one whose work appearsin all the leading illustrated periodicals of the Empire. It is a forceful subject from the hand of a strong ma'n. The Mail and Empire has obtained the exclusive right for this picture in Canada.
