THE DRUMMER ROY.
On tho 24th of July, 1848, the first
ifey of the buttle of Custoza, 60 soldiers
belonging to one of our reglmoHts of
infantry, ordered to garrison a lonely
house ou a height near by, wore sud
denly attacked by two companies of
Austrians, who, assaulting them on
several sides, scarcely gave them tifeo
to take refugo within the house, and
hastily barricaded the door, leaving
their dead and wounded oo tiie field.
The door being well secured, our
soldiers hastened to the windows on the
pr.uud floor m well us to those ou the
upper floor and opened a deadly fire on
the besiegers, who replied vigorously
as they slowly approached In the form
of * semicircle.
Tho 60 Italian soldiers were com
manded by two subaltern officers and
by a tall, silent, grim old captain with
white hair uud whiskers.
With them was a little Sardinian
drummer, a boy scarcely more than 14
years old, but who did not look even 12,
with his dark, olivo skin and black,
deep set eyes that flushed fire.
From a room on tbo upper story the
captain directed the defense, every order
sounding like a pistol shot, his iron
countenance showing not the slightest
•motion.
The little drummer, pale, but with
bfe fe*! firmly planted on the table, and
holding (mm to the vr*UA afeetohad out
hfe haad and naok to Look fsom the
vsiadaw, usd aaw thaoogh the snoka
the Anetaiaoe steadily advancing over
lb* flfdd*
The bonee was near the top of a very
stoop hillside, so that but one small,
high window In tho upper story looked
out over tbe crest. The Austrians did
not threaten that side, nor was there
anybody ou tbe hilltop. Tbe Are was
directed against tbe front and tbe two
si das.
Tbo firing was infernal—a close,
heavy hailstorm of balls rained upon
tbe walls and through the broken roof,
tearing out tbo ceiling, shattering the
beams, doors, furniture, filling tbo uir
with fragments, plastering and clouds
of lime and dust, utensils and broken
glass whizzing, clattering over their
heads, rebounding from the walls with
a noise and clash that made tbo hair
stand on end.
Now and then a soldier stationed at
the windows fell inward and was push
ed one side. Others staggered from room
to room, stanching their wounds with
their hands. In the kitchen luy one sol
dier, pieroed through tbo forehead. The
enemy was closing in. At lost tbo cap
tain, until then impassible, began to
show signs of nnoasinass, and hurriedly
left tbe room, followed by a sergeant.
In a few moments tbo sergeant came
rnsbing back and called tbe drummer,
tolling him to follow. Tbe boy raced np
tbe stairs after him and entered a di
lapidated garret lu which be saw tbe
captain with pencil and paper in baud
leaning oo tbe window sill, and lying
on tho ground at his feet was a rope be
longing to the well.
Tbe captain folded tbe paper, and,
fixing on the boy those cold, gray eyes
before which every soldier trembled,
said abruptly:
“Drummer I”
The little drummer's hand went up
to his cap.
Tho captain said:
“Thou art brave.’’
Tbo boy’s eyes flashed.
“Yes, captain,” he answered.
1 “Look down yonder,’’ said tbe cap
tain, taking him to tbe window, “ou
Ibo ground, nour tbe bouse of Villa-
fraixuL where those bayonets glisten.
Theto is our regiment motionless. Take
this paper, grasp this aope, Ipt yourself
down from the window, cress the hill
like lightning, rush through the fields,
roach our men and give this paper to
tbe first officer you sea Taka off your
belt and knapsack.’’
The drninmer took off bis belt and
knapsack and hid the paper in bia breast
pocket. Tbe sergeant threw out tbe
Itope. Holding fast one end, tbe captain
helped the boy Jump through tbe win
dow, bis back toward tbe fields,
j “Becareful,"saidhe. ’'Thesalvation
of this detachment depends ou thy valor
and thy legs. ’’
“Trust me, captain," aaid tbe drum
mer, sliding down.
| “Crouch low when yon drop," egain
said tbe captain, taking hold of the
rope too.
[ “Have no fear. *’
I “God speed thee!’’
In a few moments tbe boy was on tha
ground, tbe sergeant drew up tbe rope
aud disappeared, while tbe captaiu
hastened to the little window aud saw
tbo drummer racing down tbe bill. Ho
now hoped he would escape unseen, but
five or six little clouds of dust rising
from tbe ground warned him that tbo
boy had been discovered by tbe Aus
trians, who were firing down from the
top of tiie hill. Those little clouds were
the earth torn up by tbo balls, but the
drummer continued running at full
speed. After awhile the captain ex
claimed in consternation, “Dead!” But
acarcely was the woid out of his mouth
when Ee saw the litiie drummer rise.
“Ab, it was but u fall I” said he, and
breathed again.
The drummer again ran on, but ho
limped.
“Ho has sprained his foot,” said tho
captain.
A little cloud of dust rose hero and
there around tho boy, but always far
ther from him.
He was beyond their reach. The cap
taiu uttered a ory of triumph, but his
eyes followed him tremblingly, for it
was a question of minutes. If he did
Dot soon reach tho regiment with the
note asking for immediate snccor, all
bis soldiers would be killed, or ha
would bs obliged to surrender aud be
come a prisoner of wur with tlrtfhi.
Tho boy ran for awhile rapidly, then
he stopped to limp; again ho ran on,
but every few minutes bo stopped to
limp.
“Perhaps a ball bas bruised his
foot," thought tho captain, and he
t.emblingly noted aM his movements,
and in his excitement he talked to tho
Irummer as if be could hear him. Ev
ery moment his eyes measured the dis
tance between tho boy and tbe bayonets
that glistened below on the plain in the
midst of the golden wheatfields.
Meantime ho heard tho whistling
and the crush of the balls in the rooms
below, tho voice of command, theshonts
of rage of the officers aud sergeants, the
sharp cries of tho wounded aud the noiso
of broken furniture aud crumbling
plaster.
“Courage! Valor!” he cried, his eyes
following tho drmnmer in the distance.
“Forward! Run! Malediction 1 He
stops! Ab, ho is up again I Forward 1“
An officer, out of breath, comes to tell
him that tho eugmy, without ceasing
tbe fire, wave a white handkerchief,
demanding their surrender.
“Let no one answer!” shouts tbe cap
tain, without taking bis eyes from the
boy, who was now in tbo valley, but who
no longer ran and who seemed hopeless
of reaching the regiment.
“Forward! Run!’’ cried tho captain,
with teeth and fists clinched. “Bleed
to death, die, nufortunate boy, but reach
vour destination !’’ Thau bo uttered a
horrible oath. “Ab, the infamous idler
has sat down I”
In fact, up to that moment the boy’s
bead, that could be seen above the
wheat, now disappeared as if be bad
fallen. ~ After a moment bis bead was
again seen. Then be was lost behind tbe
wheatfield, and tbe captain saw him no
more.
Then he hastened down. Tbe balls
rained. Tbe rooms were full of woouded,
some of whom rolled over like drunken
men, catching at the furniture. The
walls and floors were covered with
blood. Dead bodies lay across the
threshold. Tbe lieutenant's arm was
broken by a ball. Smoke and powder
filled tbe rooms.
“Courage!” shouted tbe captain.
“Stand to your post! Sooco* Is coming I
Courage a little ionaer!*’

of balls oe«M be h*«rd the savag* cries
tMulting them, demanding their sur
render and threatening to cut their
threats. A soldier, terrified, withdrew
from tbe window, and tbo sergeants
again pushed him forward.
The fire of tho besieged slacked. Dis
couragement showed on every faoe. Re
sistance was no longer pcasibla Tbe
moment came when tbe Anstrians re
doubled their efforts, and a voice thun
dered, at first in German, then in Ital
ian:
“Bonreuder!’’
“No!" shouted the captain from a
window. Tbe fire became more deadly,
mor* furious on both sides. Other sol
diers fell. Thero was more than one
window without defenders. Tho fatal
moment was imminent. The captain’s
voice died away in bis throat as be ex
claimed:
“They do not come! They do not
come!”
And ho ran furiously from side to
(ide, brendisbing bis saber convulsive
ly, ready to dio. Then a sergeant, rush
ing down from tbe garret, shouted with
stentorian voice:
“They come!”
“Ab, they come!” joyfully shouted
the ooptain.
On bearing that cry all—tbe well,
tbe wounded, sergeants and officers—
crowded to tbe windows and again the
fierceness of tbe defense was redoubled.
In a short while there were noticed
among tbe enemy a species of vacilla
tion aud a beginning of disorder. Sud
denly the captain gathered a few sol
diers together on tbe lower floor to re
sist with fixed bayonets the impatnous
attack on the outside. Then he went up
stairA Scarcely bud he mounted when
be beard the sonud of hurried footsteps,
accoi ipauied by a formidable “Hurrah!''
and tbe pointed bats of tbe Italian car
bineers appeared through tbe smoko, a
squadron at double quick. A brilliant
flush of swords whirled through tho air
above their heads, their slioulders, their
buck*. Thau out charged the little de
tachment, with fixed bayonets, ltd by
tbe captain. Tbe enemy wavered, ral
lied, and at last began to retreat. The
field was evacuated, the bouse was
saved, aud shortly after two battalions
of Italian infantry and two cannon oc
cupied tb* height.
The captaiu aud the surviving sol
diers were incorporated with their regi
ment, fought again, aad the captaio
was slightly wounded in tbe baud by •
spent bat) during tbo Inst bayoilet
tbarge. Tho victory ou that day was
won by tho Italians.
Bnt the following day the battle con
tinued. Tbo Italians were conquered in
spite of their heroic resistance by su
perior numbers, and on tbe morning of
tbe 2Gth they were in full retreat to
ward tho Miucio.
The captain, though wounded, march
ed at tbe head of bis company, weary
and silent, arriving at sunset at Goito
cut tbe Mijicio. Ho immediately sought
his lieutenant, who, with his arm bro
ken, huff been picked up by tbo ambu
lance, andwhomnst have arrived before
bo did. They pointed out to him a
church in which tho field hospital bad
been installed. He went there. The
church was filled with tbe wounded ly
ing in two rows of cots aud mattresses
laid on the floor. Two physicians and
several practitioners were busily com
ing aud going, and nothing was beard
but groans and stifled cries.
Scarcely had the captain entered
when ho stopped and glanced around in
search of his Mibordinato.
At that moment ho heard near by his
named called faintly:
“Captain l”
He turned. It was tbe little drum
mer He was stretched upon a wooden
cut, covered up to the neck with a
coarse old red and white cheek window
curtain, his aims lying outside, pale
aud thin, out with his eyes burning
liko two coals of fire.
“What! Is it tbou?” asked the cap
tain in a surprised, abrupt manner.
“Bravo! Then has fulfillod thy duty!”
“I did all that was possible,’’ replied
tbo drummer.
“Art thou wounded?” asked the cap
tain, glancing around at tbo beds in
K areb of bis lieutenant.
“What could you expect?” replied
tbe boy, who was eager to speak of tbe
honor of being wounded for tho first
time; otherwise ho would not have
dared to open his lips before his captain.
“I ran as long as I could with my
head down, but, though I crouched, tho
Austrians saw mu immediately. I
would have arrived 20 minutes earlier
bud they not wounded mo. Fortunately
I met a aeptaiu of the geuerul'i stuff, to
whom I gave the note, but it was with
great effort I got a'ong after that
wound. I was dying with thirst. I was
afraid I could not arrive in time. I cried
with rage<, thinking that every minutu's
delay sent one of ours to tbe other
world, but at last I did all I could. 1
am content. But look, captain, and ex
cuse me—you are bleeding!”
In fact from tbe palm of tbe badly
bandaged hand the blood was flowing.
“Do you wish me to tighten tho
bandage, captaiu? Let mu have it for a
moment.”
Thu captain gave him his left hand
aud stretched out his right hand to help
tie the knot, but scarcely had the little
fellow risen from the pillow when bo
turned pale and had to Ho hack again.
“Enough, enough!” said the captain,
looking at him and withdrawing his
bandaged hand, which the drummer
wished to retain. “Take care of your
self instead of thinking of others, for
slight wounds, if neglected, may have
grave consequences.’’
Tho little drummer shook his head.
“But thou,” said tho captain, look
ing attentively at him, “thou must
have lost much blood to be so weak.”
“Lest much blood?” repeated tbe
boy, smiling. “Something more than
blood. Look!’’ and be threw down tbe
coverlet Tho captain recoiled in horror.
Tbe boy bud bnt one leg—tho left leg
bad been amputated above the knea.
The stump was wrapped In bloody
cloths.
Just then a small, fat army physician
in shirt sleeves passed.
“Ab, captain!’’ said be rapidly,
pointing out tbo little drummer.
“Thero is an unfortunate caco. That
leg could have been easily saved bad be
out forced it so much ; caused inflam
mation. It was necessary to amputate
it. But b« is brave, I assure you. Ha
shed not a tear nor uttered a plaint. I
was proud while operating to think he
was an Italian boy, my word of honor
Ftath, ha oomaa of good stock!”

Then that rough soldier, who had
never spoken a gentle word to an in
ferior, replied in a soft aud exceedingly
affectionate voice:
“1 am but a captaiu. Thou art a

Then be threw his arms about tha
little drummer and kissed him with all
