Abou Kuram made turned his eyes to the dread warrior on the black horse, who was canter- ing down the slope with a band of 50 men mounted on the pick of Arabian studs. As the company advanced it was joined ‘iy others, till the total must have been equal to half a Brit- ish regiment.

A contingent promptly went out from

the fittest would survive. Abou Ku-

forced ‘to remain in charge of a cow-

mentous events in which he could

met participate.

The enemy’s cavalry came on ata

/ round gallop, their pennons streaming, | their ‘faces well forward on their | horses’ necks. The leader, however, sat his great black horse erect, and

held his sword at what I believe Brit-

ish dragocns call the slope. There

was something in his appearance that marked him out from his fellows, and I am free to confess that, with Amood Sinn’s whining in my ears, a thrill of

superstiticus awe passed through me at the thought that, he might not be mortal.

As soon as the level plain vas gain- ed he waved his sword quickly in the air, and the great biack warhorse broke from the gallop to the charge.

We could see his fierce leap and the responsive bound of those that follow- ed hard behind. Before half a dozen

horse lengths were covered there came

to our ears a resounding double peal of “ Techbir, techbir!’’ for our men, too, were riding at the charge, and even from our distance we saw how

every rider, setting himself a little for- ward, hugged his lance close under his right arm. I watched the mutual swoop with straining eyes and a thun.p- ing heart, with cold tremors at the pit of the stomach, and a hot whirt of the brain that was as the madness

of much wine. There were fear and headlong audacity in the feeling—a fear that could easily have made me turn and fly, an audacity that al-

most compelled me to rush forward ard

The idea is a preity one¢ for drawing-room warriors, but if there were the least truth in it no battle should ever be lost or won. There would be no Marathon, no Therm: Py lae, no Waterloo, no Alma, no Luck- now, to shed lustre and glory on the human ra and give an interest to desperate hazards. Take my word f it, that a fight between two armies de- termined to win or die is a thing of heart-shaking surprises and riotous contempt of regulations.

lcewing, there

host, I dare half a

ds from

assert, men who

OWn sweet will, and in obedience to what might seem to his whirling mind the exigencies of the occasion.

For myself, what with incessant knocks and collisions, the hubbub of rage and agony, the sharp scream and envenomed oath, and most of all the sickening sight of living men being Sliced and laid open, my wits were so confounded I might have been in the throes of a nighimare. I had a Sword and a brace of pistols, though What I did with them heaven alone knows. They may have accounted for some of the enemy, but I have no Knowledge of shedding any man’s blood, which is perhaps a solace to the conscience in locking back from the vale of vears.

In the dartings hither and thither of my mare I got glimpses of Abou

Kuram making flashes of crimson light

with his sword, of the man on the black horse hewing savagely where there lay the best chance of doing havoc, of Ismael Numar and Koor Ali laying about them as if they were us-

ing pruning hooks in a forest of sap-

lings, and of Amood Sinn scurrying to and fro in abject terror, fighting the air, and ever getting into the places he would have given his king- dom to be able to avoid. I laughed at him with the hilarity of hysteria, and I have an idea cried jeering words as well. But how the tide of war was running I knew not, and probably you

would not have known had you been

in my place

Once in a wild swirl I got knocked out of the saddle, but with wildcat clutch I caught something—probably the pomme! or mane before me—and was up again in an instant, wondering in my own mind whether I was mor- tally wounded or whether I was wound- ed at all, and as I was trying to de- cide I came upon a sight that drove

all thought of self away and made me rein up with a jerk.

In the midst of their partisans, who had formed a circle, as if to fee fair play to the champions, were Koor Ali and the man on the black horse in a

hand-to-hand fight. I do not know how long they had been at it before I chanced to see them, but the con-

test did not iast long after my coming up. Koor Ali was a good soldier and an expert swordsman, but his fate was upon him.

The man on the black horse first tipped off an ostrich plume from the other’s turban, then some ribbons, then he shore a piece of each side, as if showing the easy and dainty precision

with which he handled his weapon. Two or three swift passes followed, then, rising quickly in his stirrups, with a lightning-like stroke, he clove his antagonist from crown to breast- bone, so that half fell either way. (As will be seen later on, this stroke was never learned in Arabia.) From the raised sword-hand of the divided man dropped the sword, but the arm itself remained rigid in the air, as if with a final threat of vengean« and there rose from the split throat a shriek which haunts me to thi ay. Then, the horse wheeling, andes a sudden, ; ¢onvulsive pull of the bridle-hand, the body tumbled from the saddle to be mangled by a thousand hoofs.
