They had gone with him many a time into the hell of battle. into the jaws of death. They surged about him now. striking. thrusting. forcing with blows of their snbers or their lances. and blows of their beasts’ ore feeta passage one to aim: pr. until they were reunited once more as one troop. They loved him; he had called them his brethren. They were like lambs for him to lead. like tigers for him to incite. They could see him lift aloft the eagle he had caught from the last hand that had borne it. the golden gleam of the young morning flashing like flame upon the brazen wings and they shouted. as with one throat: “Mazagran! Mazagranl” As the battal- ion of Mazagran had died keeping the ground through the whole of the scorching day. while the fresh hordes poured down on them like ceaseless torrents, snow fed and exhaustless. so they were ready to hold the ground here until of all their number there should be left not one living man. “Charge, my brother! France! France! France!" He glanced back on them, guarding iis head the while from the lances that were rained on him. and he lifted the guidon higher and higher, till out of the ruck and the throng the brazen bird caught afresh the rays of the rising sun. “Follow me!” he shouted. Then. like arrows launched at once from a hundred bows. they charged. he still slightly in advance of them. the bridle flung upon his horse's neck his head and breast bare: one hand striking aside with his blade the steel shafts as they poured on him. the other holding high above the press the eagle of the Bonapartes.

The “fighting fury” was upon him. As he spurred his horse down on them now :20 blades glittered against him. The foremost would have cut straight down through the bone of his bared chest and killed him at a single lunge. but as its steel flashed in the sun one of his troopers threw himself against it and parried the stroke from him by sheathing it in his own breast. he blow was mortal, and the one who had saved him reeled down off his sad- dle under the hoofs of the trampling charges. “Picpon remembers!” he mur- mured, with a smile, and as the charge swept onward Cecil, with a great cry of horror. saw the feet of the madden- cd horses strike to pulp the writhing body and saw the black, wistful eyes of the child of Paris look upward to him once with love and fealty and un- speakable sweetness gleaming through their darkened sight. vivxmza.

They closed in on every side. wheeling their swift coursers hither and thither. striking with lance and blade. hemming in beyond escape the doomed fragment of the Frankish squadron till there remained of them but one small nucleusâ€"a ring of horse- men. of whom every one had his face to the fee: a solid circle curiously wedged one against the other. with the bodies of chargers and of men deep around them and with the ground $011k- ed with blood till the sand was one red morass. Cecil held the eagle still and looked round on the few left to him. They answered with a peallng ery.‘ terrible as the cry of the lion in the hush of the night. but a shout that had in it assent. triumph. realty. victory. even as they obeyed him and drew up to die, while in their front was the young brow of Petit Picpon turned up- ward to the glare of the skies. The Arabs honored these men. who alone and in the midst of the hostile force held their ground and prepared thus to be slaughtered one by one till of all the squadron that had ridden out in the darkness of the dawn there should be only a black. huddled. stiff- ened heap of dead men and of dead beasts. The chief who led them press- ed them back. withholding them from the end that was so near to their hands when they should stretch that sinrle ring of horsemen all lifeless in the dust. “You are the sons of the Old Guard. Die like them." “You are great warriors!” he cried in the Sabir tongue. “Surrender! We will spare!” Cecil looked back once more on the fragment of his troop and raised the eagle higher aloft where the wings should gli::ten in the fuller day. llalf naked. scorched. blinded. with an open gash in his shoulder where the lance had struck and with his brow wet with the great dews of the noon heat and the breathless toil. his eyes were clear as they flashed with the light of the sun in them. His mouth smiled as he answered: ’ “Have we shown ourselves cowards that you think we shall yield ‘2” A yell of Wild (leiight from the chas- seurs he led greeted and ratified the choice. “To the death! We will not “Charge! Charge!” surrender!” they shouted. Then, with their swords above their heads, they waited for the collision of the terrible attack which would fall on them upon every side and strike all the sentient life out of them before the sun should be one point higher in the heavens. It came. With a yell as of'wild beasts in their famine the Arabs threw them- selves forward, the chief himself sin- gling out the “fair Frank” with a vio- lence of a lion flinging himself on a leopard. One instant longer, one flash of time. and the tribes pressing on them would have massacred them like cattle driven into the pens of slaughter. Ere it could be done a voice like the ring of a silver trumpet echoed over the field: “Charge! Charge! Tue. tue. tuel" Above the din, the shouts. the tumult, the echoing of the distant musketry, that silvery cadence rang. Down into the midst, with the tricolor waving above her head. the bridle of her fiery mare between her teeth. the raven of the dead zouave flying above her head and her pistol leveled in deadly aim. rode Cigarette. The lightning tire of the crossing swords played round her, the glitter of .lances dazzled her eyes, the reek of smoke and of carnage was round her. but she dashed down into the heart of the conflict as gayly as though she rode at a review, laughing, shouting. waving her torn colors that she grasp’ ed, with her curls blowing back in the breeze and her bright young face set in the warrior’s lust. ~Behind- her by scarcely a length galloped three squad- rons of chasseurs and spahis, trampling headlong over the corpse strewn field and breaking through the masses of the Arabs as though they were seas of corn. ' ‘ She wheeled her mare round by Ce- cil’s side at the moment when with six 8W1tt passes of his blade he had ward- ed at the chief’s blows and sent his own sword down through the chest bones of the Bedouin’s mighty torn"). “W ell struck!

Not a bullet struck or a sahcr grazed her: but there. in the heat and the press of the worst of the slaughter. Cigarette rode hither and thither. to and fro. her voice ringing like a bird‘s song over the field in command. in ap- plause. in encouragement. in delight: hearing her standard aloft and un- touched; dashing heedless through a storm of blows: cheering on her ”chil- dren” to the charge again and again, and all the while with the sunlight full on her radiant. spirited head. and with the grim. am y raven flying above her, shrieking shrilly its "Tue. tue. tue!” The army believed with super- stitious faith in the potent spell of that veteran bird, and the story ran that whenever he flew above a combat France was ,victor before the sun set. The echo of the raven’s cry, and the presence of the child who, they knew, would have a thousand musket halls fired in her fair young breast rather than live to see them defeated. made the fresh squadrons sweep in like a whirlwind. bearing down all before them.

He had tried it on the wrong man. Not Very Far Wrong.
