OUR SHORT STORY A VENEZUELAN REVOLUTION. PART I. "Did I see any fighting in Venezuela?" (responded my brother, who had just re- turned from there, and about whose safety we had been very anxious during the last politicial revolution in the country of political luireet. "Well, of a sort, I saw plenty. It was fighting, but not war, as you would construe the term in the Forty-second. If I could have had a handful of your men with me, I'd have made some of those Venezuelans sit up." I looked at his strong, upright form, broad •Mouldered and muscular, with a sigh of regret. He would have been as fine a soldier -so any in the British Army. His whole heart and soul were in soldiering, not for the amusements attached to the life, but purely from the love of it 86 a profession. Unfortunately, however, at the t;me when he had to pass his competitive examination he failed in some subjects which I must own seemed Tory immaterial to the making of a good officer. t k who am far leas fitted than lis, obtained my commission through a better knowledge of the art of spelling, and being more closely acquainted with the historical phases through which my country has passed in years gone by. My brother being rejected, ae a servant in arms of the Queen, followed the example of many others and travelled. America, both North and South, had the greatest fascination for him, and he happened to be up the country when one of the so- called revolutions broke out. "Tell me about it," I said, as we settled down to smoke over the fire after dinner. He watched the feathery blue rings rise in the air and vanish, placed his feet on the (fender, and looked steadfastly at the crimson glow. I fancied from his expression that he was re-calling something unpleasant. I waited in silence for him to begin. "I had been travelling, as you know," he said at last, "through many of the South American States, and had a very good know- ledge of Spanish. I meet with a fair amount of adventure, but not until I reached one of the small towns in the interior of Venezuela. did I take up arms. I I looked at ibis strong and upright form. I While stying there I came across some English miners, a class you find all over the world. There was plenty of good sport, and 1 not to know some of the most influential inhabitants. They are supposed to hate the English, which they do collectively, but -their appreciation of the race is shown by their anxiety to get them to join any one (party in a scrimmage wih another. "They know an Englishman can be relied upon, whereas their own leaders cannot, though at times they will fight like demons. The people of the district were suspected, And rightly, of organising a rising against the Government. So the latter thought it best to take the job off their hands, and send a force to quell the idea. On hear- ing this a call of arms was made, and, to my surprise, a deputation waited upon me to request me to lend my services, and take a prominent position in the little army." "That just suited you I exclaimed. "Yes. The opportunity of getting some experience of real fighting was too much for me, and I consented! "It didn't run to uniforms, but otherwise the equipment of our force was good. "Drilling commenced, and in a few days we were able to move our body of men about in quite a respectable fashion. Intelligence soon came that the invading fwroes were at hand. "A river divided them from us, along the banks of which I set out with a reconnoitring I party, From observation and intelligence J. discovered they did not exceed us in numbers, though no doubt they were far more efficient In the art of war. They encamped near the river, with the evident intention of bridging and crossing it. There was one thing to do, ,and one only, to my mind. Attack them! The blow would be so thoroughly unexpected that success seemed to be certain. I pro- pounded my, views, which were well received, and I was asked to carry out the attack. "I knew the country fairly well, and iarranged for the greater part of my force to cross at a ford some way above, and work round under cover of the dark. "I determined to cross with them, having selected a picked body of a hundred strong, and taken a position under cover of the river bank. "At daybreak our enemy would attack, when I hoped, with my men, to rush the camp. AU went well, as we took up our position unobserved, everything was quiet i fid orderly. As the first streak of dawn appeared, I hurriedly inspected my company, who were apparently ready for the fray, and nicely hidden from observation. "As the first shot rang out op. the still morning air, followed quickly by a volley, my little bend rose. In accordance with my directions, they started at a small trot, without nriae until.tb^v got to close quarters. "Half of the ground fad been traversed when a detdly fire, fioiii tjiie camp poured into us, which we readily to. "The bullets, howev^, kept whizzing in, ? 1" I I "I looked rouod my prison." I and I felt suddenly that there was hesitation in my hand. "With a loud cry I dashed forward, yelling the charge, and rushing frantically on to the camp. But I had not reckoned on a heavy entreacltiBbut which, however I cleared. only to be seized immediately on my headlong fall on the other side "I looked around for my men. "Not one to be seen. "The firing ceased. They had all bolted I —ri$?ht enough, too, since I had attacked «n almost impregnaole position. My men saw this, led? before my fatal leap, and also the J rest of the anuy on the other side. | "The damage done to the foe was slight, but, unfortunately for mo, their leader was shot. "This incensed the soldiers beyond measure, as they surveyed their captive—a hated Englishman! "The whole affair was laid at my door, and they clamoured loudly for my life- But the officer in oharge placed me under arrest, akr- ittg he would attend to my case when the work of the day was over. "There was a briok building in the camp, with two rooms, belonging to some farmer, in one of which I was placed under strong guard. "During the day the rebellion was quelled, and towards evening I was tried, and, no doubt, was rightly sentenced to be shot at daybreak. "The officers, on the whole, behaved very well to me, ordering me to be supplied with food, coffee, and cigarettes. "Gradually I began to realise the hopelees situation, seeing only too clearly my folly in ? taking up the cause, the merits of which I knew 80 little. Yet, even with the sentence of death hanging over me, the most depressing thought of all was the fact that I had made such a foolish mess of my military tactics. "I ought not to have assumed such a position, and felt my conceit almost deserved the f:¡to awaiting me. I really experienced at first some slight comfort in the fact that I was goinsr to be put out of the world. At least I should be saved the derision and contempt of the men whom I had led into such a mad enter- prise. "I looked round my prison with a dull sensa- tion of apathy at my heart. Escape through the windows seemed easy enough, but I knew too well what my reoeeiptdon would be without, for I could hear the steady tramp of sentinels. Even now in my dreams the regular fall of those feet outside my prison walls will wake me with a shudder. "The thought of approaching death momen- tarily shaped itself more vmdly in my mind. I tried to prepare for my end, but only the thcught of that fatal leap and my ridiculous expedition rose to taunt me. There was no consolation, no hope I" ?-?

THE SAFETY LAMP. NEW PATENT LOCK. Mr. Thoophilus Thomas, chief lampnmn aij the New Tredegar Collieries, has remedied a.¡ deficiency in the safety lamp by the invention^ of a new safety lock. Those engaged in oolliery, work are aware that the shackle lock plays to and ii-v a space of iin. when looked, and, therefore, is considered unsafe. The new bracket took does away with such a loose action, and has no shackle to fashen shield and recep- tacle. and the lead plug in use will be placed perpendicularly instead of in its present hori- zontal position, with the company's initial affixed thereto. The 6wplicity of action ilw, admirable, and the inveoW.n (has been highly commended by the chief officios of the locatity. It is also important to state tha.t Mr. Thoma* can adjust an attachment that will extiiiguiaw the light immediately upon tio elignt€*>t in- fitingement of the lead. A protection order' has been received, and stops will immediately^ be taiken to have the invention patented. Mr.- Theophilus Tihomas is the youngest son oi Mr. 5 T. Thomas, safety lamp inventor, Aberdare, and was the foreman lampman at IMcrst >w» CoHiaries prior to coming to New Tredegar.
