Plucky.

Soldiers as a rule are plucky fellows when wounded. This story Is told of one: He came in on a stretcher —sacs all bruised and swollen, eyes protruding, all full of mud and bits of stone. There wasn't an inch of bls body without its own bruise or cut. He’d been standing In a muddy place and a big obua had plumped Into the ground just in front of him, and then, from a couple of feet down, had gone off and np. ’ As he opened hie eyes the doctor said to him: ’’Ton must have had a pretty rough passage.” He replied: “Nothing tn IL Mr—nothing In It. I’ll >e all right after I’ve had a shave."
