A Brave Lad.

An instance of coolness and courage in a boy is reported in a letter from Wakkerstroom, in South Africa. The garrison made a raid for the purpose of capturing some cattle, but were compelled to retreat into camp. While falling back, a youngster about fifteen years old was thrown from his horse, which ran off and left him. Finding he could not escape from the Boors, who were in close pursuit, he lay down behind some stones on the slope of the hill. A few minutes afterward, four of the enemy came galloping up, when the boy let fly, knocking one out of his saddle. The three men who were with him, thinking, in all probability, they were running into an ambuscade, wheeled and bolted for their lives. The boy then crept on his hands and feet, to the top of the hill, took to his heels, and escaped.
