FABLE THE FOURTH.


Across wide, sloping plain, almos,
desert-like in its wide expanse, and
under blazing sky, Dick Blackthorn
was riding alone on Wednesday, July
&c, 1909. How he had got there would
probably have puzzled himself to tell.
But he did know that the country was
called Spain, and that the shabby uni
form he wore was no longer that of
King George, but of His Highness Joao
Maria, Regent of Portugal and Prince
of Brazil. That horse had to do with
the matter was certain, for one was
even now carrying him. That woman
had to do with it was not unlikely.
But however that may be, here he was,
adding yet another experience to his
varied biography. Nor was it, to-day,
of the most agreeable kind. For he
was toraging in country which. so far
as eatables went, had been shaved, be-
tween Frenchmen and Spaniards, much
cleaner than the palm of his hand.
Far away to the right ran an unbroken
chain Of high and rugged mountains;
to the left, river, which served also rs
q guide. Never was wafer more well
come, for the soil. baked into dust, was
cruel to horse and man. He had rid
den out from the little town of Esca-
Iona, higher up the river. with an empty
stomach. aud seemed likely to return
to it with that and empty hands besides.
Dick Blackthorn had never been much
given to thinking, so there is little to be
gained by opening his mind. If roll.
ing stone once took to thinking, it would
become too heavy to roll. HIS thoughts
may safely b. summed up in the hope o!
finding some wretched village or other
in which a cheese and bottle of wine
might still be found.
He was watering his horse at con.
venient shelf in the river, and medita-
ting on the stupidity of Nature in net
making her streams of Almagro or Val
creatures with four legs than of crea-
lures with two, when his horse, having
satisfied his simple tastes, threw his
head up and his ears back and ne:ghe.L
Dick pricked his ears also, and pre,-
emily he heard the sound of hoofs COM
ing at quick trot towards him. Now
Dick, after his usual reckless fashion,
had foraged rather far; and it came
into his head, somewhat late in the daF,
that if his Lusitanians were at EscaIona,
on the right bank OF the Alperche, Mar
shall Victor and The French were in force
at Santa Olalla, on the left; and tina,
they required to forage, too. So he got
ready with his carbine. The hoofs did
not sound as if it would prove more
than one to one, and a French dragoop
out plundering might be as good as
village to the maa vine caught him. He
wa, sick Of soldering, but he had al
ways dearly loved a fight man to man,
and when it had nothing to do with dis
cipline or duty.

been administered, one minim less than
the usual amount. Though he did not
sleep continuously y'through the night he
slept in all as much as usual, and was
aroused for the day at 8 o'clock thismorn=
ing. He was said by DIR. Douglas to have
been better to-day than on any day since
the improvement began, Just two weeks
ago. During the night the. General
coughed much less than usual and ex-
pectorated scarcely any. DR.. Douglas
arose late this morning and left the Grant
residence at 0 o'clock. The day broke
cloudy and at 8 o'clock rain began falling.
Tho air was chillyand raw, precluding the
possibility OF the General going out dur

1.-THE throat has cleared up some since

"a READER" suggests to the ISrRLIIeES-
crR that "Of England's 8 many faults cow
mIicc is not one" and that II war be,de-
clared the English will accept it and
prove Themselves worthy Of their noble
and victorious ancestors." All which is
entirely true. Brayer soldiers than the
English have never faced foe. Com
nandes may blunder, as in the terrible
charge at Balaklaya; Government mayer
as in the SOudan; always and everywhere
the British soldier faces death with unsur-
passed yalor. But this is not the point.
While England hesitates Russia is strain-
ing every nerve to strike q decisive blow.
Her pacific professions, absurd in view Of
her enormous military preparations and
the assault on Penjdeh, are but the velvet
covering Of the hand Of iron. Russia in
tends to have Herat. She will take It by
diplomacy IL she can get it so. She will
aght for it II she must. She cannot go
back. She will not be content to remain
where she is.
Now tue diplomacy Of Russia is mainly
q big lie supported by numerous string
Of little lies. The government at st.
Petersburg gave it out that General Kom-
arolf had exceeded his instructions at
Pendjeh; yet the government does not
treat him as an officer who has offended,
and It sends him medals to distribute TO
his men. In short Russia is doing what
she can to gain time. England was too
slow in the soudan; all the world knows
that now. Atthis distance 1t has looked
as though she was making the same error
in Aighanistan. Once the war begins
there will be no question Of the bravery
Of the British troops; they will give a good
account of themselves; but they may
easily haye,t to begin the fight at disadvan-
tage.
Wnrat besti. calamity. The interest
Of the English people is to throw the
greater part Of the calamity on the other

do and how they ought to doit.
