on by the Ganbaldiaus iu tbe Tyrol in
18SG, Bresseia was the base ot the
army, which was over thirty thousand
strong. Beyond this town there
was no railway, and all provis
ions bad to be taken up in carts some
forty miles.
It was in this campaign, in my ca
pacity of correspondent, that an ad
venture happened to me, which gave
me a thorough sicklier of camp-followers.
I had arrived at the little town of
Rocca.d'Anf'o, charmingly situated on,
or rather above, the Lago d'Idro. It
was at the time Garibaldi's headquar
ters, and some eight or ten thousand
men were camped in tho neighbor-,
hood. Garibaldi himself was lying in
the Castle, from tbe shot-wound which
he had received six days before, at
the fight on Monte Suello. The vil
lage was crowded witti troops ana
rnmisRfirint wno-nns. and I searched in
vain for a place to sleep in. Fortun
ately, 1 succeeded in purcnasing inree
loaves of broad, one for myself and
two for my horse; and when night
naniR on I left, the viilacre. turned un a
by-lane, and entered a vineyard.
Here 1 tied my horse op, took, ms
bridle from his mouth, br.oke up the
bread and fed him ; and then putting
my valise nndor my head, and my pis
tols within reach, I wrapped myself
in my cloak, and was soon asleep.
The next morning I rode on to liaga
dino, which was the farthest point to
which tho Garibaldians had advanced,
although not the point at which they

the Garibaldians had by no means
covered themselves with honor, tor
they had been beaten back by a very
inferior force of Tyrolese riflemen,

to believe that I was quietly getting
into bed.
I took up one of my pistols, looked
at it, took aim at the door, and press
ed the trigger to raise the hammer a
little, for it was a double-action wea
pon. To my surprise, the trigger, in
stead of yielding to ray finger, remain

little stronger, to make sure that it
was not faucy, but it was fixed. "To

it was a miuiHu -ui wv uwui-
Atill d realiio the position. I under
stood it at last. The landlord had
another key to my room, and while
I was waiting for supper he had en
tered the room and disabled my pis
tols. I was indeed a rat caught iu a
trap, and a rat almost without teeth.
I was myself again now, and could
think clamly on my chauccs.
They were very Bmall. I had a cap
ital knife with a good-sized spring
blade, which I nsod to cut my bread
with. That was something, anyhow.

a formidable ' striking weapon, was
very short, a Berious disadvantage in
a fight with men armed with knives.

locked when I first entered the room.
It was apparently only a closet, urn
it wasiust possible that it might lead I
into some other loom, from which I
could make my escape by tho window.
So I at onoe set to work with my
knife, and soon had the satisfaction of
feeling the lock' shoot back with a

Then I shook off the feeling of awe,

In the corner of the closet behind htm
was something that made ray iheart
