Frsderlek the Oreat Ran Away, and
Grant Waa Afraid.
Some of tbe greatest soldiers whose
name adorn history's pages entered
their first battle with a feeling of fear
In their hearts.
Frederick tbe Great simply lout bia
bead at tba battle of Molwtts. Had
be not been a king it la aafe to aay
that he would have been shot at tbe
next aunrlse. In tbe beat of tbe car
nage he got an Idea that the army un
der hla command waa being over
whelmed, ao he put tbe spur to hla
borne and dashed headlong among bis
soldier. He rode many miles before
be atopped in bis wild digbt. Late at
nlebt be waa discovered bldlns' in an
old mill, awaiting, as bo thought, cap-!
rare by tbe enemy. Then he discover
ed that the army be deserted bad won
tbe battle.
Aa Frederick waa a prince, every
body tried to forget the incident just
as quickly aa poeelble. And after that
when the king went to war be. waa
Just aa brave as any other soldier.
General Grant In his memoirs tella
ua that deeplte tbe fact that be waa
not new to the waya of war, be bad
strange fear lu bia heart when aa com
mander of the Union forces be found
himself on tho eve of his first battle
of the civil war. He adds, however,
that be came to find that "the other
fellow" bad a similar feeling.,
In American history there la no more
reckleaa warrior than the dashing Light
Horse Harry Lee. It seems strange.
therefore, to And that at tbe outset of
the Continental struggle Washington
had to reprove him for his 'prudence"
In battle. Lee, though, up and told
Washington that he was just aa brave
as the general in chief, and be made
