The English were not running were hacking and hewing and bing, for, though one white man is sel dom physically a match for an Afghan in a sheepskin or wadced coat, yet through the pressure of white men behind and a certain thirst for re- venge in his heart of doing much with both ends of rifle The Fore and Aft held their fire till one bullet could drive through fi or six men, and thefront of the Afghan force gave on the volley. They then se- lected their men slew them with deep gasps and short hacking coughs and groanings of leather belts against strained bodies and realized for the first time that an Afghan attacked is far less formidable than an Afghan attack- ing, which fact old soldiers might have told them

Bet they had no old soldiers in their ranks.

The Gurkhas’ stall at the bazaar was the noisiest, for the men were engaged —to a nasty noise, as of beef being cut on the block--with the kukri, which they preferred te the bayonet, well knowing how the Afghan hates the half moon blade.

As the Afghans wavered the green standardson the monntain moved down to assist them in « last rally, which was unwise. Thelancers, chafing in the right gorge, had thrice dispatched their

tives 20U yards’ law, and then vrougn them down, gasping and choking, ere they could reach the protection of the bowlders above. The Gurkhas followed suit, but the Fore and Aft were killing on their own account, for they had pen- ned a mass of men between their bay- onets and a wall of rock, and the flash of the rifles was lighting the wadded coats.

‘“‘We cannot hold them, Captain Sahib!”’ panted a ressaidar of lancers. ‘Let ts try the carbine The lance is good, »ut it wastes time.’

They tried the carbine, and still the enemy melted away—fied up the hills by hundreds when there were only 20 bullets to stopthem. On the heights the screw guns ceased firing—they had run out of ammunition—and the brigadier groaned, for the musketry fire could not sufficiently smash the retreat. Long be- fore the last volleys were fired the lit- ters were out in force looking for the wounded. The battle was over, and but for want of fresh troops the Afghans would have been wiped off the earth, As it was they counted their dead by hundreds, and nowhere were the dead thicker than in the track of the Fore and Aft.

But the regiment did not cheer with the highlanders, nor did they dance un- couth dances with the Gurkhas among the dend. They looked under their brows at the colonel as they leaned upon their rifles and panted.

“Get back to camp, you! Haven't

casion he returned with a bullet graze

Hindustanee and saying that all things were ready. So that squadron swung reund the right cf the highlanders with a wicked whistling of wind in the pen- nons of its lances and fell upon the remnant just when, according to all the rules of war, it should have waited for the foe to show more signs of wav- ering

But it was a dainty charge, deftly delivered, and it ended by the cavalry finding itself at the head of the pass by which the Afghans intended to retreat, and down the track that the lances had made streamed two companies of higblanders, which was never intended by the brigadier. The new development was successful. It detached the enemy from his base as a sponge is torn from a rock and left him ringed about with And asa sponge is chased round the bathtub by the hand of the batier, so were the Af- ghans chased till they broke into little detachments much more difficult to dis- pose of than large masses.

‘‘Seel’’ quoth the brigadier. *‘Every- thing has come asI arranged. We've cut their base, and now we’ll bucket

em to pieces.’’

A direct hammering was all that the brigadier had dared to hope for, consid- ering the size of the force at his dis- posal, but men who stand or fall by the errors of their opponents may be for- given for turning chance into design. The bucketing went forward merrily The Afghan forces were upon the run —the run of wearied wolves who snar] and bite over their shoulders. The red lances dipped by twos and threes, and, with a shriek, up rose the lance butt, like a spar on astormy sea, as the troop- er, cantering forward, cleared his point. The lancers kept betwecn their prey and the steep hills. for all who conld were trying to escape from the valley of death. The highlanders gave the tugi-

When sickness begins to get the best of a man there is no use arguing about it; no mat- ter how msignifi- cant the trouble may appear at the start, unless you exercise prudence and conimon sense you will surely pay the penalty.

If the stomach and liver are out of order that is going to weaken the whole constitu- tion unless the right means are taken to re- store these fundamental organs of the sys- tem to their natural condition. This is ex- actly what is done by Dr. woe? Golden Medical Discovery. Its direct ation upon the liver and digestive organs is the secret of its astonishing curetive effect in all dis-

ases of malnutrition. :

Tt insures perfect nutrition; it makes the blood pure aoe res and full of vitality; it creates healthy flesh and muscular energy. It is far better than sickening indigestible ‘emulsions’? or merely stimulating malt ‘*extracts.’’ Its good effects are lasting.

Mrs. Rebecca F. Gardner, of Grafton, York Co., Va., writes: “I was so sick with dyspepsia that I couk? not eat anything for over four months. I nad to starve myself, as nothing would stay on my stomach. I tried almost everything that people would tell me about, and nothing did me auy good. I weighed only 8 pounds. I took two bot- tles of the ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ and, thank God, and your medicine, I am as well asI ever was, and now weigh 125 pounds. I have a bottle of your ‘Favorite Prescription’ now, and that is a wonderful medicine for female weakness, Praise God that he created such a man as you.

Crows.

There is some reason for calling an owl the bird of wisdom, and yet there is cause for wondering if the crow ig not mentally his superior. Crows are not disheartened by the gloom of late autumn. If the fog is too dense to fly through it, they rise above it or trot abcut the ground, discussing the situa- tion with their fellows. Is this speak-

_ ing too positively? I have long been

for the past hour the Fore and Aft had |

been doing all that mortal commander could expect. They had lost heavily be- cause they did not know how to set about their business with proper skill, but they had borne themselves gallant- ly, and this was their reward.

A young and sprightly color serg2ant, who had begun to imagine himself a hero, offered his water bottle to a high- lander whose tongue was black with

thirst. ‘‘I drink with no cowards,’’ an- swered the youngster huskily, and, turning to » Gurkha, he said: ‘‘Hya, Johnny! Drink water got it?’’ The Gurkha grinned and passed his bottle The Fore and Aft said no word.

They went back to camp when the field of strife had been a little mopped upand made presentable, and the briga- dier, who saw himself a knight in three months, was the only soul who wag complimentary to them. The colonel was heartbroken and the officers were savage and sullen.

‘*Well,’’ said the brigadier, ‘‘they are young troops, of course, and it was not unnatural that they shculd retire in disorder for a bit.”

“Oh, my only Aunt Maria!’’ mur- mured a junior staff officer. **Retire in disorder! It was a bally run!”

“But they came again, as we al) know,’’ cooed the brigadier, the colo- nel’s ashy white face before him, ‘‘and they behaved as well as could possibly be expected—behaved beautifully in- deed. I was watching them. It’s nota matter to take to heart, colonel. As some German general said of his men, they wanted to be shooted over a little, that was all.”’ To himself he said ‘‘Now they’re blooded, I can give ‘em responsible work. It’s as well that they got what they did. Teach ‘em more than half a dozen rifle fiirtations that

will-—-later—run alone and bite. Poor old colonel, though!” All that afternoon the heliograph

winked and flickered cn the hills, striv- ing to tell the good news toa mountain 40 miles away. And in the evening there arrived—dusty. sweating and sore —a misguided correspondent who had gone out to assist at a trumpery villege burning and who had read off the mes- sage from afar, cursing his luck the while.

‘*Let’s have the details somehow—-as full as ever you can, please. It’s the first time I’ve ever been left this cam- paign.’’ said the correspondent to the brigadier. aud the brigadier, nothing loath, told him how an army of com- munication had been crumpled up, de- stroyed and ail but annihilated by the craft, strategy, wisdom and foresight of the brigadier.

Bat some say, and among these be the Gurkhas who watched on the hill- side, that that battle was won by Jakin and Lew. whose little bodies were borne up just in time to fit two geps at the head of the big ditch gravefor the dead under the heights of Jagai
