(Uontir ved.) Three days later the brigadier ar ranged a battle according to the ruivs

of war and the peculiarity of the Af ghan temperament The enemy were massing in inconvenient. strengih among the hills, and the moving of many green standards warned him thnt the tribes were ‘‘up’ in atid of the Ai ghan regular troops. A squadron and a half of Bengal lancers represented the

the artillery at the general's disposal “If they stand. as fve a very strong notion that they will, | fancy we shail

see an infantry tight that will be worth watching.’ said the brigadier ‘*‘We'll do it in style Each regiment shall be played into action by its band, and we'll hold the cavalry in reserve. ’

‘‘For all the reserve?’ asked.

‘*For all the ‘reserve, because we're going to crumple them up,”’ said the brigadier, whe was an extraordinary brigadier and did not believe in the value of a veserve when dealing with

somebody |

Asiatics. Amd indeed, when you come |

to think of it, had the British army consistently ‘waited for reserves in all its little affairs, the boundaries of our empire would have stopped at Brighton beach.

That battle was to be a glorious bat- tle.

The three regiments, debouching from three separate gorges, after duly crown- ing the heights above, were to converge from the center, left and right upon

| what we will call the Afghan army,

then stationed toward the lower ex- tremity of a flat bottomed valley. Thus it will be seen that three sides of the valley practically belonged to the Eng- lish, while the fourth was strictly Afghan property. In the event of de- feat the Afghaus had the rocky hills to fly to. where the fire from the guerrilla tribes in aid would cover their retreat. In the event of vict®ry these same tribes would rush down and lend their weight to the rout of the British.

The screw guns were to shell the head of each Afghan rrsh that was made in close formaticn, and the cavalry. held

m reserve in the right valiey, were to gently stimulate the break up which would follow on the combined attack. The brigadier, sitting upon a rock overlooking the valiey. would watch the battle unrolled at his feet. The Fore and Aft would debouch from ‘the cen- tral gorge, the Gurkhas from the left and the highlanders from the right, for the reason that the left flank of the enemy seemed as though it required the most hammering. It was not every day that an Afghan force would take ground in the open, and the brigadier was resolved to make the most of it.

“if we only had a few more men,’ he said plaintively, ‘‘we could surround the creatures and crumble ’em up thor- onghly As it is, I'm afraid we can only cut them up as they run. It’s :a great pity ;

The Fore and Aft had enjoyed wnbro- ken peace for five days and were begin- ning. in spite of dysentery, to recover their nerve. But they were not‘happy. for they did not know the work in hand and. had they known, would not have known how to doit. Throughout those five davs in which old soldiers

| might have taught them the craft af the

“Time is up.” Without their realizing it, death stands beside many a man, waiting while the man’s watch brisk- ly ticks away the few remain- f ing hours of bis life. When “ aman feels run down and $ out of sorts and knows that

he is overworking himself, Z he should call ‘‘ Time” him- self. His life is more precious both to him- self and his family than the few dollars he will gain by sticking to his work or his bus- iness. A few days’ rest and a little right treatment, and he will be robust and ready for a fresh plunge into work.

When a man is run-down, the best medi- cine in the world for him is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is the great ap. tite- maker. It will make a man P ears as a wolf” and it will attend to it that the life-giving elements of what he eats are assimilated into the blood and carried to all parts of the bedy, to build up new and healthy tissue. It makes firm flesh and strong muscles. It builds up the flesh toa healthy standard, but does not make fat people more corpulent. It tones the nerves and invirorates the liver. An honest dealer won’t offer you an inferior substitute for a little extra profit.

“ Allow me to express my gratitude’to you for the benefit I have received from xesr wonderful Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser,” writes Miss Rachel A. Jones, of Thomasville, Rankin Co., Miss. “I must say that it is worth more than its weight in I have gained more information in perusal of a few pages than twice the $1.50 which you formerly asked would be worth to me. You are doing a good and grand work. I do not see how you give such a volume away u receipt of only 21 one-cent stamps, to cover cost of mailing.”” for the above book ad- dsess the author, Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, NS. Y.

For French cloth binding send 10 cents extra, thirty-one cents in all.

Constipation kills energy. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are a safe, sure, speedy and

rmanent cure for constipation. One *‘Pel- fer”? is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic. They never gripe. Unscrupu- lous druggists sometimes offer substitutes claiming that they are “‘just as good.”

THE DAiuw: EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, MAY 23, 185"

acveutures 1 tue pasé—bow etch a one was alive at dawn and dead ere the dusk, and with what shrieks and strug- gles such another bad given up his soul ander the Afghan knife Death was a new and horrible thing to the sons of me- chanics who were used to die decently of zymotic disease, and their careful conservation in barracks had done noth- ing to make them look upon it with levs dread

Very early in the dawn the bugles be- gan to blow. and the Fore and Aft, filled with a misguided enthusiasm, turned out without waiting for a cup of coffee and a biscuit and were rewarded by being kept under arms in the cold while the other regiments leisurely prepared for the fray

The Fore and Aft waited, leaning upon their rifles and listening to the protests of their empty stomachs. The colonel did his best to remedy the default of lining as soon as it was borne in upon him that the affair would rot begin at once, and so well did he succeed that the coffee was just ready when—the men moved off, their band leading Even then there had been a mistake in time, and the Fore and Aft came out into the valley ten minutes before the proper hour Their band wheeled to-the right after reaching the open and re- tired behind a little rocky icnoll, still playing, while the regiment went past.

It was not a pleasant sight that open- ed on the unobstructed view, for the lower end of the valley appeared to be filled by an army in position—real and actual regiments attired in red coats and—of this there was no doubt—firing Martini-Henry bullets, which cut up the ground 100 yards im front of the leading company Over that pockmark- ed ground the regiment had to pass, and it opened the ball with a general and profound courtesy to the piping pickets, ducking in perfect time, as though it had been brazed on a rod.

| Being half capable of thinking for | itself. it fired a volley by the simple

process of pitching its rifle into its shoulder and pulling the trigger The bullets may have accounted for some of the watchers on the hillside, but they certainly did not affect the mass of ene- my infront, while the noise of the rifles drowned any orders that might bave been given

‘Good God!" said the brigadier, sit ting on the rock bigh above all ‘*That regiment bas spoiled the whole show Enrry up the others. and let the screw runs vet off

But theserew gnuas, in working rornd the heights. bad stnmbicd upon a warps nest of a small maud fort, which they incontinently shelled at 800 yards. to the huge discomfert of the occupants, who were tnaccustomed to weapons of such devilish precision

The Fore and Aft continued tego for- ward, but with shortened stride’ Where were the other regiments. and why did these niggers use Martinis? They took open order instinctively. lying down and firing at random, rushing a few

| paces forward and lying down again,

according to the regulations. Once in this formation each man felt himself desperately alone and edged in toward his fellow for comfort’s sake.

Then the crack of bis neighbor’s rifle at his ear led him to fire as rapidly as he could—again for tke sake of the comfort of the noise) The reward was not long delayed. Five volleys plunged the files in banked smoke impenetrable to the eye. and the bullets began to take ground 20 or 39 yards in front of the firers, as the weight of the bayonet drugged down and to the right arms wearied with holding the kick of the leaping Martini. The company com- manders peered helplessly through the smoke, the more nervous mechanically trying to fan it away with their helmets.

‘High and to the left!’’ bawled a captain till he was hoarse ‘‘No good! Cease firing. and let it drift away a bit.’

Three and four times the bugles shrieked the order, and when it was obeyed the Fore and Aft looked that thei foe shouid be lying before them in mown swaths of men. A light wind drove the smoke to leeward and show- ed the enemy still in position and ap- parently unaffected. A quarter of a ton of lead had been buried a furlong in front of them. as the ragged earth at- tested

A private of the Fore and Aft spun up his company shrieking with agony, an- other was kicking the earth and gasp- ing. and a third. ripped through the jower intestines by a jagged bullet, was calling aloud on his comrades to put him out of his pain. These were the casualties, and they were not soothing to hear or see. The smoke cleared to a dull haze.

Then the foe began to shout witha great shouting, and a mass—a black mass—detached itself from the main body and rolled over the ground at hor- rid speed. It was composed of perhens 200 men. who would shout and fire aud slash if the rush of their 50 comrades who were determined to die czrried home. The 50 were Ghazis, half mad- dened with drugs and wholly mad with religious fanaticism. When they rusbed the British fire ceased, and in the Inll the order was given to close ranks and meet them with the bayonet.

Any one who knew the business could have told the Fore and Aft that the only way of dealing with a Ghazi rush is by volleys at long ranges, because a man who means to die, who desires to die, who will gain heaven by dying, must, in nine cases out of ten, kill a man who has a lingering prejudice in favor of life if he can close with the latter. Where

ucy shoaid have closed and gone tor- ward, the Fore and Aft opened out and skirmished, and where they should have opened out and fired, they closed and waited

A man dragged from his blankets half awake and unfed is never in a pleasant frame of mind. Nor does his happiness increase when he watches the whites of the eyes of 800 six foot fiends upon whose beards the foam is lying, upon whose tongues is a roar of wrath, and in whose hands are three foot knives.

The Fore and Aft heard the Garkha bugles bringing that regiment forward at the digu ble, while the neighing of the highland pipes came from the left. | They strove to stay where they were, | though the bayonets wavered down the , line like the oars of a ragged boat Then they felt body to body the amaz- | ing physical strength of their foes. A shriek of pain ended the rush, and the knives fell amid scenes not to be told. The men clubbed together and smote blindly—as often as not at their own fellows. Their front crumpled like pa- per, and the 50 Ghazis passed on, their backers, now drunk with success, tight- ing as madly as they.

Then the rear ranks were bidden to close up, and the subalterns dashed into the stew—alone, for the rear rank had heard the clamor in front, the yells and the howls of pain, and had seen the dark, stale blood that makes afraid. They were not going tostay. It was the rushing of the camps over again. Let their officers go to hell if they chose. They would get away from the knives.

**Come on!"’ shrieked the subalterns, and their men, cursing them, drew back, each closing into his neighbor and wheeling round. )
