A Deed of HcrolJutl Tlint 8!rrod fin Entire Army. In the reminiscences of General Sir Bvolyn Wood, himself a bravo English soldier, a touching Instance of courage - and self sacrlllcc is given. Quo June day In 1883 a detachment of EiiRllsli marines was crossing the Wororizow road under flro from the ltussiau bat teries. All of tho men reached sheltei In the trenches except a senmau, John .

But at tho moment Blowitt wnc struck by tho enormous mass of Iron on tho knees and thrown to tho ground. Ho called to bis special chum: "Oh, Welch, savo me!" The fuso was hissing, but Stephen Welch run out of tho trenches and, seizing the groat shell, tried to roll it off bis comrade. It exploded with such torrlflo force that not an atom of tho bodies of Blowitt and Welch was found. Even lu that tluio when each hour had Its ex cltement tills doed of heroism stirred tho whole English army. One of tho officers searched out Welch's old moth er In her poor home and undertook her support while sho lived, and tho story of his death helped bis comrades to nobler conceptions of a soldier's duty.
