The night was growing darker and
darker Nothing stirred in the plain,
which seemed deserted. All that was
perceptible was the thousand slight
sounds that make the silence seem
deeper-the beating of the wings Of some
night bird, the buzzing Of insects, the
rlstling Of the grass in the wind.
Crouching down toward the ground, his
scabbard tucked in his belt to avoid the
clashing, the lieutenant went on. trying
to pierce the darkness and stopping every
minute TO place his ear against the earth.
Sid, three steps ahead Of him, with his
nose now in the air, now close TO the
ground, inhaled the odors Of the night
and sought some scent still vague. Sud-
denly he stopped, his hair bristling, and
uttered a slight, low growl.

A mad race began. The zouaves heard
very plainly the hurried steps of the hos
tile foot soldiers pursuing them; they
felt the Prussians at their heels, and
they swore furiously, ashamed to have
to fly in this manner.
"Uhlans!" exclaimed some one
Indeed, at their left, the zouaves could
distinguish, in the penumbra, the gallop-
ing cavalrymen and could hear the noise
of the horses hoofs. The uhlans were
trying to head off the little troop, in or
der to get them between two fires.
Great Godl' exclaimed Bayardet,

once there, we can laugh at them"
A horseman passed at full speed with
out seeing them at distance of thirty
yards.
"Iieutenant,p said zouaye, "let me

mot yet"
And Bayardet knocked the lifted wea-
pom in the air.
But the Prussians knew the ground
very well. Their cavalrymen had pass
ed the zouaves, and the circle was clos
ing in. In few moments all retreat
would be cut Off. The night had grown
less dark. and the uhlans could be seen
very distinctly, swiftly going and com

like foragers.

Tea shots followed fhis order. The
uhlans disappeared, and all was silence
again. But this calm lasted only few sec
onds. A formidable rattle of musketry
rang through the air. then a second,
then third. The Prussians were firing
by rounds and at random. No one was
hit.
Keep on running" said the lieuteu-
ant.
Already in the half light the zouaves
saw in the distance the tree tops of the
thick grove that surrounded the plain,
when just ahead of them there was a

tremble. A few men fell. The zouaves

''Pick up the wounded and file to the

He had noticed, not far away, hut,
in the shelter of which his little troop
could offer resistance for long time.
The zouaves reached it, improvised bar
ricades, and opened fire upon the enemy.
Nevertheless, the Prussians advanced.
They were within hearing distance. aud

s'vive la Francer answered Bayardet,
lcaping with lifted saber upon his enemy.
The German fired, and Bayardet, hit
squarejy in the breast, tottered The
German officer rushed forward and
seized the flagstaff, uttering roar Of
triumph. The lieutenant Strengthened
up and dealt the colossus a blow on the
head with the edge Of his saher. But
the blow, struck by weakened hand,
only slightly wounded the Teuton, who,
dropping the flag, took Bayardet by the
throat and tried to strangle him.
In a supreme effort Bayardet uttered a
desperate appeal, the appeal Of a dying
man:
sSidiiv
The dog, who had lost his master in
the confusion, came bounding to the
spot, guided even more by his wonderful
scent and keen intelligence than by the
lieutenant's cry. With one leap he was
at the Prussian's chest, planting his teeth
in his face. The officer shrieked with
pain and fell backward under the dog,
who was tearing his flesh. A hostile
foot soldier, passing on run, stuck the
animal twice with his bayonet. But Ba-
yardet, who had a cartridge left in his
revolver, killed the soldier.
Then, gathering all his energy, the
lieutenant groaned:
''Sidi, my dog, take it, take itp'
And as the end of the flagstaff had
been broken in the struggle, Bayardet
rolled up the blood stained flag and
placed it in the dogs jaws Then, as the
courageous beast rubbed up caressingly
against his master, the latter repeated in
the most formal tone Of command:
Take it, sidil Take it to the regi"-
The voice died out in hiccough; but the
lieutenant's features breathed a sublime
joy, for the dog, as if he had understood
and perhaps he did-the value of the
trust confided to him, started of like an
arrow, leaving behind him red trail,
made of the blood dripping from his
pierced TANKS.
The regiment had reformed and
charged again. The enemy, for the
tenth time, was driven back. An old
battalion commander suddenly saw
reddish mass roll at his horses feet. It
was Sid. The dog still had In his mouth
the flag, which was nothing but glori-
GUS rag but which the eagle still sur
mounted.
This dog is dying said the officer.
"He suffers too much. 1t is better to
finish him. Let him die like soldier,
with a ball in his head-the death of the

An old sergeant approached and, with
more feeling than if he had an enemy to
deal with, he placed the barrel of his gun
at the dogs ear and blew of his head
1t was necessary to retreat again, and
this time deinitively. But the zouaves
carried away their flag. They carried
away also the body of Lieut.. Bayardet
and that of his faithful comrade Sidi,
who were buried together as they had
lived, ON the very night Of the battle,
where the troops halted, at the edge of
the woods.

TO advance The dog did not stop growi.
ing. In few minutes Bayardet, who
was literally creeping, Strengthened up
on his wrists to look about him.
He was on the edge Of road, and on
the other side of this road he saw, stand
ing on the slope of the trench, a dark
shadow.
IT was sentinel.
The shadow did not bulge Bayardet
placed his hand upon the hilt of short
dagger which he had slipped, in starting.
into button hole of his t1nic. Fury
had seized him. He had an enemy be-
fore himl He could kill him, and yet he
must not listen to his hatred. This SEN
tinel certainly was not far from a post.
If he should miss his man, the lieutenant
knew that the alarm would be given,
and the simple accommodating expedi-
ton, SO shrewdly managed up to this
point, would be turned into bloody
combat, very dangerous for the handful
of men under his command, for there
was scarcely any hope of aid. He put
the dagger back into its improvised
sheath, and, in order to find out whether
he had to deal with an advance post or an
entire line of the main guard, he retired q
short distance and traced the road for
two hundred yards to the left. He
counted fifteen sentinels. Bayardet re-
traced his steps to execute the same
maneuver. Then the dog stopped again,
refusing to advance and uttering his low
growl. The lieutenant kept quiet, listen
ing and trying to see.
At that moment, by a pale ray of
moonlight filtering through cloud,
Bayardet saw, ten steps ahead of him,
leaning against willow, asoldier of the
hostile army, who was gently tapping
his feet on the ground to keep them
warm, the night being cold. Bayardet
was about to retire, when, beside this
soldier, another, who was probably sit
ting or lying down, emerged from the
shadow. Bayardet, betrayed by the
moons rays, had just been seen in his
turn.
who's there|
The lieutenant made no answer, but
cooked his revolver.
"Who is there?n articulated the senti-
mel more distintly.
AT the same moment two shots rang
out, with their noisy and reverberating
echoes, in the deep silence Of the night.
It was Bayardet and one Of the two sem
tinels who had just fred at the same
time Almost Immediately after them
the other fired, too. The lieutenant an
swered his fire, and he experienced the
delight Of seeing Prussian soldier
stretch out as an inert mass.
Orders in German flew in every direc-
ton; noise of marching men arose; a
few shots were heard here and there.
Bending as low as possible, Bayardet
bounded through the fields to rejoin his
troop. With his own skill, added to
Sidi's guidance, he could not make mis-
take, although the moon had disappeared
again and the darkness was thicker than
ever. He soon regained his companions,
who, for that matter, were running to
meet him.
Retreat, and be quick about itF' said
Bayardet. I'VE must leave these fell
lows alone for today"
