Fell In Action.

They were talking of war, and the young man mentioned that one of his ancestors was killed during the Revolution. "He was a brave man,” he said. The young lady looked pensive. ' “I had an uncle who was killed in the Civil War, the very first battle he ever went to,” ftie said. “He was only a private, so he hadn’t made a record.” “That was hard,” said the young man, “to be shot down in his first engagement.” “He wasn’t shot down,” said the young woman. "He fell and broke his neck when he was running down hill. I think war is awful Cruel, don’t you?"
