I will ask ye one question before yd start. Will ye bring glory to the ould regiment and fight, or -Ail! ya bring it to shame and run?" t Without a moment's hesitation came a deafening chorus— "Wo will!" ' " "Which will ye do?" erieel the officer.' "We will' not"!" cried tho chorus. "Aha, thank ye. mm !" said the officer, well pleased. I thought ye would."
