Sir Charles, pleading an appoint

to interest the visitor, and finally the
Captain began To point out the objects

Soldiers and sailors are proverbially
superstitious and u writer in the Feb
ruary Atlantic, treating OF THE
Courage of a Soldier" declares that
"the soldier derives great comfort from
his cheerful fatalism." lie recalls a
beautiful September day, which was
devoted to one of the fercest bates
ever known. The color guard of "a
conspicuous regiment had been re-
peatedly shot down and replaced, until
sixteen men had fallen, most of them
MORALLY hurt. At this juncture a
captain of gigantic stature, the larg-
est among ten thousand men, seized
the colors, and continued To wave
them defiantly until the position was
carried.
He escaped untouched even to his
uniform, while away in the rear rank,
in the least exposed position on the
line, little Irish fish-peddler, known
as mickey the fish," received two
serious wounds. Mickey was dwarf,
whose enlistment had been regarded
as n capital joke, and whose immuni
was taken for granted.
Somewhat puzzled by the citation
shown by the comrades of giant and
dwarf, / inquired concerning their
blithc confidence, and found that they
regarded the double event as clear
proof that all casualties were foreor-
dained; and am well assured that out
of this tranquilizing belief grew a
great peace in many hearts, which
served them well when the storm of
battle shut out all ord nary means of
refuge.
In illustration of more serious
kind OF fatalism | will relate the fol-
lowing:
We were at Suckers Gap. The

AFGHANS BARRED THE WAY.
Russians Not Permitted to Pass
Through the pamirs

CALCUTTA, Oct. 15.-Dispatches from
Slmla to-day announce that the reported
repulse of a Russian force in the Parairs
is correct with the exception of a few minor
details. The exact facts are as follows:
Captain Vannovsky, son of the Russian
Minister of War. recently proceeded down
the Murghab river to Roshan. The Rus
sian colonel was accompanied by a small
escort Of Cossacks. and. at Roshan, he is
said TO have politely asked the Afghan
istan officer to allow him 10 proceed with
his escort to DarwaZ, at which point Col
Vannovisky wished to join General Baiaff.
The Afghan officer refused TO allow the
Russian forces to proceed, claiming that it
would establish n precedent which he had
TO authority TO permit This refusal made
Colonel Vannovisky very angry; some hot
words were exchanged, and the Russian
Colonel announced his intention OF proceed
ing in spite Of the Afghans. This the Rus
slams did 10 u certain degree. The Rus
and the few men who accompanied him,
but further on Colonel Vannovisky and
his force entered a derlle, where they were
suddenly summoned TO halt Investigation
showed that the road was blocked by huge
powders. behind which the strong force OF
Roshanites were stationed. The Roshan
commander Informed Colonel Vannoylsky
obeyed. Another account says that the
Russians, In retreating, fired few shots
at the Afghans and that their fire was re-
turned. No loss of life is reported.
Many people look upon the incident as
an attempt upou the part OF Russia To
