"I saw a man c coming armed with a revolver. When he 'f fired I rode at him. c "He tried to seize my reins and fired n again, the flash singeing my glove, while h the ball grazed my horse. I "then wheeled the horse, which knocked the man over j- with its shoulder. t. "As the policeman sprang upon the man ,_ | a third shot was fired from the ground. t. The bullet whistled over my head." Allegre was rejected on three occasions for military service on the ground that he was subject to epileptic fits. Bram and body fatigue are quickly reel licved by a dose of Steams' Wine of Cod If liver Extract. It adds tone to the sys- , ill tern or A puts you where you belong.—j \M&> ' " .
