PART w.

"Good-by. old chap. You'll be all
right. Give yourself time 1t was
MOrtimer's voice, and Anerley became
dimly conscious of long spectacied
face and Of a heavy hand upon his
| shoulder.
Sorry to leave you. Wen be lucky
! now if we are in time for the morning
| editions" Scott was tightening his
girth as he spoke.
We'll put in our wire that you have
| been hurt, so your people will know
why they don't hear from you. If
Reuter- or the evening pennies come up
| don't give the thing away. Abbas will
| look after you, and We'll be back to-
morrow afternoon. Bye-byc.'
Anerley heard it all, though he did
not feel energy enough TO answer
| Then, as he watched two sleek brown
ponies with their yellow-clad riders
dwindling among t,se rocks, his mem
Ory cleared suddenly and he realized
that this first great journalistic chance
of his life was slipping away from him.
1t was small fight but it was the first
Of the war. and the great public at home
was all athirst for news. They whOuld
have it in the Courier: they would have
it in the Intelligence. and not a word in
| the Gazette. The thought brought him
to his feet, though he had to throw his
arm around the stem of a palm tree to
steady his swimming head.
There was the big black man lying
where he had fallen, his huge chest
pocked with bullet marks, every wound
rosetted with it's circle of flies. The
Arab was stretched out within a few
yards of him. with two hands clasped
over the dreadful thing which had been
his head. Across him was lying Amer
leys fowling piece. one barrel dis
| oh fhe. nfhar Al half cook
"Scott effendi shoot him your gum"
said a voice. 1t was Abbas. his Eng
disappearing bOdy-servant.
Anerley groaned at the disgrace Of IT..
He had lost his head so completely that
he had forgotten to cock his gun: and
yet he knew that 1t was not fear but
interest which had so absorbed him.
He put his hand up to his head and felt
that a wet handkerchief was bound
round his forehead.
Where are the two other der
vishes?"
"They ran away. One got shot in
arm
What happened to me?"
"Effendi got cut on head. E.ffendi
catch bad man by arms and Scott
effendi shoot him. Face burn very
bad"
| Anerley became conscious suddenly
| that there was IL pringling about his
skin and an overpowering smell Of
burned hair under his nostrils. He put
his hand to his mustache. 1t was gone.
His eyebrows. too? He could not find
them. His head no doubt was very
| near to the dervish's when they were
rolling upon the ground together. and
this was the effect Of the explosion Of
his own gun. Well. he would have
time to grow some more hair before he

too eXuberantly boisterous for a COM
mander. The other with his spectacles
and hist stern face soon had the SER
Wants in hand.
Tall henna! Egri! What the devil
are you frightened about? Put the
camels between the palm trunks. That's
right. Now get the knee-tethers on
them. Quies! Did you never hear bull
let's before? Now put the dOnkeys here.
Not much--you don't get my polo-pony
to make a zareba with. Picket the
ponies between the grove and the river

Scott, as they heard a soft splashing
thud like a stone in q mud-bank.
who's hit them"
1.-THE brown camel that's chewing the
cud."
AS he spoke the creature, its jaws
still working, laid its long neck along
the ground and closed its dark eyes.
THAT shot cost me fifteen pounds"
said Mortimer, ruefully. How many
Of them do you make?"
-Four, think"
"Only four Bezingers at any rate;
there may be some spearsmen."
Il think not: it is little raiding

who was conscious of a feeling Of ner-
vous elation.
Love and poverty and war, they are
all experiences necessary to make
complete life. Pass over the cartridges.

behind another bowlder. He wore the
green turban which proclaimed him
hadji, and his face showed the keen
nervous eXaltation of the religious fan
attic.
''They seem piebald crowd" said
Scott
THAT last is one Of the real fighting
Baggara," remarked Mortimer. He's
dangerous man."
He looks pretty vicious. There's an
other negro!"
1.-Two more! Dingas by the look of
them. Just the same chaps we get our
black battaliOns from. AS long as they
get fight they don't mind who its for.
But II the idiots had only sense enough
to understand they would know that
the Arab Is their hereditary enemy and
we their hereditary friends. Look at
the silly jugglins gnashing his teeth
at the very men who put down the slave
trade!"
Couldn't you eXplain?''
I'll explain with this pistol when he
comes little nearer. Now sit tight,
Anerley. They're Off"
They We're. indeed. 1t was the brown
man with the green turban who head
ed the rush. Close to his heels was the
negro with silver earrings-a giant of u
man, and the other two We're only a lit
tie behind. As they sprang over the
rocks one after the other it took Amer
ley back to the school sports when he
held the tape for the hurdle race. 1t
was magnificent. the wild spirit and
abandon of it. the tlutter of the chequ-
cred galabeeahs, the gleam of steel. the
wave Of black arms. the frenZied faces,
the quick pitter patter Of the rushing
feet. The law-abiding Briton is so i'm
bued with the idea Of the sanctity Of
the human life that it was hard for the
young preSsman to realize that these
men had every intention of killing him.
and that he was at perfect liberty to do
as much for them. He lay staring as
if this were show and he q spectator.
Now, Anerley. now! Take the Arab"
cried somebody.
He put up the gun and saw the brown
ierce face at the other end Of the barrel
He tugged at he trigger. but the face
grew larger and tiercer with every
stride. Again and again he tugged.
A revolver shot rang out at his elbow,
then another one. and he saw q red spot
spring out on the Arabs brown breast.
But he was still coming on.
"Shoot, you ass, shoot" screamed
Scott.
Again he strained unavailingly at the
trigger. There We're two more pistol
shots. and the big negro had fallen and
risen and fallen again.
Cock it. you fool" shouted a furious
voice, and at he same instant, with a
rush and flutter. the Arab bounded over

SYNOPSIS,

Three correspondents of London news
papers. Mortimer. of the 1ntelligencer;
Scott, of the Courier and Anerley, of the
Gazette. are riding with their servants
from the terminus of the military rail-
way in Egypt to the advance army OF oc-
cupatiOn. They camp in a palm grove near
the Nile during the heat of the day Nor
timer and Scott are veteran correspond
ents. Anerley is a novice. The veterans
have provided themselves with swift polo
ponies. Anerley has an old hack, and his
lack of experience is discussed by his
companions who remind him that he will
be left behind in the race for the tele-
graph station, IL a battle takes place. In
cidentally Anerley learns that in a contest
of thirty miles or more the swift-going
