Mrs. Hemans' Poem Had
Foundation in Fact
Sirs. Hemans’ poem, "T h e Boy
Stood on the Burning Deck," which
thrilled the Imagination o f childhood
for two generations, had Its origin In
an actual happening that constitutes
a page In history. It was while Na
poleon's expedition to Egypt was In
progress that the English sent Lord
Nelson,
sea's uioei
most famous
.iciw
u , the
ioe seas
u m m i. warrior.
to annihilate the fle et This Nelson
so nearly accomplished that only four
o f the French vessels escaped sinking
or capture.
A ballet bad ended the life o f tbe
French admiral, and the flagship was
wrapped io flames. But Louis Cas
ablanca, the captain, who was wound
ed so badly that he could keep hie
feet only by cliDging desperately to
the rail, stoutly refused to leave bis
post.
A ll who could get Into a boat or
swim bad deserted the flagship and
Its heroic captain, with the solitary
exception o f a boy o f ten— bis son.
The lad had hidden behind a coll of
rope until the last boat had gone, then
he went to his father's side. Com
mands and entreaties were o f oo
a v a il; the boy remained, supporting
the wounded inan with an arm about
Ills waist. The English sailors forgot
the lust o f battle, checked their fire,
and cheered, and some o f them wept
as the enemy ship settled lower In the
water and finally disappeared beneath
the waves.— Detroit News.

He and Bob were racing westward
between tbe _■ rests ot two loti,, ridges
that ran parallel to tbelr course
about a mile away on either side. Tbe
tw o outlaw parties—C o Ahead bad
made up bis mind that they were out
laws and that Bob was or had been
affiliated
with
them— had changed
their courses as sool as be and Bob
bad changed theirs and were riding
slantingly to Intercept them.
Inevi
tably they were cuttiug down the In
terral and would certainly continue
to do so for some time to come.
Go Ahead realize«, that unless he
could find some way out the race was
bound to end sooner ot later In favor
o f tbe pursuers; at any moment a
single shot might do It by nerely
wounding on_- o f tbe horses. Anxious
ly he stared ahead, to where a low d ls
tact rise seemed to cross their path.
“ Is there a rise ahead of us?" he
asked; “ or don't you know?”
“ Sure I know. I wrote the map that
tbe Lord used In building this coun
try. It 'f a rise all right. I f we can
get over It we'll have a chance to get

The glrFs voice shewed not even a
tremor.
It ran along smoothly—as
smoothly as If she w e n chatting ubou

Glancing at her
in wonder Go Ahead decided that she
simply did not realize the danger
And In tills lie was rig h t; Ste.'a with
tbe gang had been chased before and
on sucb occasions ifhd never seen any
one seriously wounded or caught; and
she bad come to believe herself and
her friends immune.
Meanwhile, tbe outlaws steadily
closed I d from both gides. They did
not fire, how ever; being on the flanks
o l the fugitives, wt.< rode side by
side, they could not fire at Go Ahead
without running the risk o f killing
Stella, and even Kennedy's gang knew
better than to do this
Besides, It
seemed for the moment unnecessary.
T h eir slanting approach, though it
trough; them nearer, yet Inevitably
brought them more and more directly
behind the fugitives.
Soon the one
broad target would separate Into two
distinct ones. TlieD It would he rea
snootily safe to concentruie their fire
on Go Ahead.
By and by single bullets, fired op
pa rent ly by a single marksman on the
left, began to whistle closer and
closer to Go Ahead
Stella noticed
this, and for the first time anxiety
began to show In her manner. “ T h at’s

“ He thinks be can shoot, and I guess
he won't risk anybody else hitting me
I ’m afraid I’ve go? you Into a tlx.”
“ Humph I Maybe.
Not much risk
yet. Their chance'll come when our
horses have to slow down In going up
that rise while theirs are still run
ning on the level. Once we gel to the
top we ll be all right."
Stella feared for Go Ahead not foi
herself. After all, this had Imeu none

She knew perfectly
well that Go Ahead would never let

that for him lo surrender would mean
his certain death. Neither Barker nor
Wade would ever forgive the humflla
