SimoD's Victory

All day long the hamlet of Arga-
doun had remained in a fever of un-
rest. News came from the north and
.south-that the terrible Kurds were up
in arms and that the Christians of
Asia Minor might look forward to tort
ure and death In this small village,
Armeninhs knew that they need eX-
pect no quarter. Had they hot. only d
twelvtmohth before; headed by Yus-
suf; the old soldier Of the Greek war;
beaten back Il plunderiig body of
Kurdish %brigands? Had they not
steadily refused to pay more than their
just taxes to the hey who governed
that province for Sultan Abdul-IIa-
mid?.
Old Yussuf had explained to, his lit
tie dark-eyed son, Simon, all the mys-
terics surrounding d certain long-bar-
relied, bright, shining rifle Gift of an
American traveler) which lay hidden
in his hut. Little Simon had ven been
allowed to fire five shots from the won,
deTful rifle; and with one. of them he
had triumphantly brought down a
bla on the neighboring peak.
The. smooth-bore rifle was much
talked of among the mountains, and
more than one Kurdish spy had
brought news of it to the brigands'
camps. Indeed, the attack from Ar
gadoun, the year before, had been
mainly prompted by a desire to seize

Truly, from the way simon leaped
hither and thlther, firing as he sped, it
seemed as though a body of defenders
must be ambushed on The heights.
Charge the rocks, children of the
Prophet!' liowled the Kurdish cap
tain, waving his scimeter. Instantly
the troopers began to swarm up the
precipitous erag. But Simon was
ready for them. To and fro he sprang.
loosening by d touch the myriads of
stones and small boulders which lie

cliffs edge. Theshower of missiles
proved too much for the Kurds. Down
they rolled In scores--some never to
Use again. Then Simoti-sparing them
not, as they had not spared his coun-
trymen-continued to pick them out
with his rife.
At last the Kurdish captain fell, and
the troopers, with yells Of despair,
turned tail and fed. The rout was in
describable. Men and horses mingled
madly in a race down the rocky de-
file-Simo1 discharging his last cart
ridges after them as they disappeared.
Then the boy, utterly spent with ia

seek him about the noon hour. Long

done this deed?"
One of the wounded Mohammedans
pointed gloomily toward the heights
and at the same moment the boyisf

against the sky. He waved the rifle
in his hand, and cried joyously to his
