THE SECRET OF BALAKLAVA

Lord Lucan, who died recently, was
believed to have been responsible for
the awful blunder at Balaklava. Here
is the story as it was told years ago:
At last we have historical blunder
gracefully corrected, and handsome
defense Of a brave soldier who has
been under cloud. It has been popu-
larly decided that Captain Louis No
Ian, of Lord Rsglan's staff, being an
impstuous soldier, purposely miscon-
struei the actual meaning of an
order which he carried into an author
ization of the senseless sacrifice of the
light brigade, and that his only excuse
was that he was the first man killed in
the charge. Launce Poyntz, in the
Galaxy, after reviewing tie topography
of the battlefield and the position of
the forces. says:
AS it was, matters stood thus when

There was an old score to wipe out, but,
of course, she did not show that she was
watching for an opportunity to settle II !;
that would not have been according to the
usages of polite society. Such little affairs
must be settled with verbal stiletto when
the opposing party can be caught una

Consequently she smiled very pleasantly
as she remarked that she had met Mrs.
Poorman that afternoon.
"a very pleasant and agreeable little
woman" she added.
"Oh, yes" replied her social antagonist
carelessly. "Her husband is in my hus-
band's employ, you know"
$50 she told me; but, really, l don't
think that makes her any the less pleasant
to meet"
She felt then that she had scored once,
but she was not satisfied.

cred little from the shock. "But it is too
bad that she does not dress a little better.
Sometimes, you know, she looks almost
shabby"
"Quite true; but she explained that
"lndeed?"
"Oh, yes. She said that her husband
could not give her real lace on an imitation
salary"
Thus all the accounts on the old ledger
were closed.-Chicago Post.

toms without an introduction. No
common people could get in under any
circumstances. Pendleton entertained
only the high-toned, rich and infiuen-
tial men of the day. It was sort of
congressional club house, and was
managed primarily for the purpose of
catching the gambling trade of the
capitol, and that was enormous in those
days.

toms place which is worthy. of remark.
He had splendid dining room. There
every evening at z o'clock, rs his per-
sonal guests, twenty-four distinguished
men sat down to royal feast. The
big tables were set and decorated as
for banquet, and many men of prom
inence came to regard 1t as mark of
honor to be invited to dine with Ed
ward Pendleton, Esq, gentleman and
gambler.
81 have heard that he was member
of the proud and naughty Pendleton
family of Virginia; but wherever he
came from he was a well-bred and
thoroughbred gentleman. He enter

Though he catered primarily to the
congressional custom, Pendleton also
occasionally invited officers of the
army and navy and members of the
diplomatic corps. These invitations
we're only sent by request of some SEN
ator or representative, and in each
case, after man had dined with Pen
dleton, the doors were open to him,
and thus was Pendleton's business in
creased.
"His was the only gambling house in
the world where men of note felt them
selves honored by being welcomed as
guests. No professional gamblers were
allowed to enter the place, save those
employed by Pendleton himself. The

teedth lancers. Now that he had main
tanned his position as mouthpiece of
the commander-in-c chief against the
impudent fsult-1nding of Lucan, he
felt happy. His beloved cavalry was to
be launched at last on this glorious
mission agoinsr the C,useway ridge,
and already D'Allcnville was preparing
to assault the other flank of the Rus
slams.
Who can wonder that the enthusi-
astic Nolan told Morris that he was
going to see tie brigade through the
charge. 1t was his privilege to do so,
Little did he know of the extent Of pig
headed stupidity natural to the two
members of the English aristocracy
who respectively commanded and led
that charge.
A clear, sharp voice was soon heard
in front Of the brigade now formed in
three lines. Lord Lucan rode away to
the "Heavies," and Nolan galloped
round to the rear to the left of the
trigade, as the sharp voics cried:
"Right brigade forward-trot-
march"
In a moment the front line was away,
as steadily as il on parade, at a rapid
trot, following an erect gentleman
mounted on chestnut Thoroughbred,
and wearing light scarlet trousers and

a blue fur-trimmed jacket, the front a
perfect blaze of gold.
The erect gentleman was as slender
20, and yet the man was 81 years old,
and the earl Of Cardigan himself.
But hardly had they started when
Nolan uttered cry of astoniehment
and rage.
"Good God! are tho fools going to
charge down the valley?" he shouted.
Then setting spurs to his horse, he
dashed out of his place and galloped
madly across the front, waving his
sword.
"Where are you going my lord?" he
shouted. 'That is not Lord Raglan's
order! Change front to the right. This
way! This way! The batteries on the
ridge"
Lord Cardigan was as hot tempered
in his way as Lord Lucan. The audac-
ity of an officer presuming to CROSS
his front was enough. For that officer
to address his brigade was an addition
al insult. He spoke not word, but
pointed grimly forward with his
sword. Nolen's words we're lost in the
thunder Of hoofs, and all that was seen
was his figure crossing the front and
wildly gesticulating, pointing to Cause
way ridge.
| Then the Russian batteries opened
There was flash, a boom and second
flash in the air, little cloud of white
smoke and loud spang! as the first
shell burst in the faces OF the trotting
line. Poor Nolan threw up his arms
with fearful shrek, and fell back in
his saddle, stone dead, struck through
the heart. With a low groan of rage
the rushing horsemen quickeued their
pace and dashed on at wild gallop
into the valley of death.

with Moan.

Nolan left Raglan, bearing the 'fourth
ORDER" The Russians were clustered
on two hills, the English and French
cavalry stood looking on, Lucan was
in his usual nervous. irrit able state,
when the gallop of a horse was heard.
A tall, slender young officer, with a
trim figure and black mustache, was
coming down a steep descent at full
speed, with white envelope stuck in
his belt, and every eye was on him in
moment.
It was Captain Nolan in his scarlet
shell jacket, little forage cap set on
one side of his dark curls, his face full
of joy and eagerness.
An audible murmur went through the
ranks.
"Orders come! Nolan's the boy
that'll show US the way to move" For
Nolan was we'll known and universally
beloved.
In another moment he had dashed
up and saluted; then handed his letter
to Lord Lucan. The cavalry general
tore it open with the nervous haste
characteristic of every movement OF
his lordship. When he read it over his
countenance changed. Then his lord
ship broke out, something in this
style:
"Why, good heavens, sir, what can he
mean? With the little force at our
command we can barely hold our own,
much less advance. II is perfectly
suicidal. How can we advances"
Nolan's eye began to blaze. He had
just come from the high ground whence
the whole Russian position could be
seen at glance. Knowing that his
order contemplated the doubling back
of the Russian columns and saving the
guns in t redoubts, he was impatient
Of the pragmatical objections Of this
captious old man.
In stern, distinct tone he spoke to
Lord Lucan:
"Lord Reglan's orders are that the
cavalry should attack Immediately"
ATTACK, sir?" cried Lucan, angrily.
ATTACK what? What guns, sir?"
Nolan threw his head back in lig-
nantly, and pointed to the Causeway
ridge, where the Russians were busily
at work trying to haul away the cap
tured guns. Tho group was standing
at the right Of the entrance Of the
north valley.
'There, my lord, is your enemy" he
said, land there are your guns"
The captain forgot that he was talk
ing to an excited and impracticabIe
man. Wrong headed Lucan chose to
fancy that he pointed to the end Of the
valley, and with all the obstinacy of his
nature kept to the error.
"Very we'll, sir, very WE'LL" he said
angrily. ''Ihe order shall be obeyed.
1 wash my hands of it,"
He wheeled his horse and trotted off
to where Cardigan sat in front of his
brilliant lines gnawing his gray NOUS
tache and chatting over his inaction.
Then said wrong headed Lucan:
Lord Cardigan, you will attack the
Russians in the valley"
The earl dropped his sword in salute.
"Csrtainly, my lord; but allow me to
point out to you that there is bat.

pishly. sit is Lord Raglan's positive
order that the light brigade is to attack
the enemy. We have no choice but to
obey"
Then Cardigan bowed his head.
"Very we'll, my lord" was all he said.
Then, turning to his staff: "The
brigade will ADVANCE" he said quietly.

II guess I'll linger," said one. "Come

it got around to the dealer he said,
"Well. I'll boost it $4,000 more" They
all came up with the cash, making
$360.000 in the pot before cards were
drawn.
"rll bet S." said the man who
opened.
"rll raise you 100000" said the
next.
"Pll see it." said the third.
"Pll raise'it 100000" said the dealer.
"rhat makes it cost me 100000"
said the opener. "Well, I'll see it out.
I'm not to be bluffed."
There was no further raise, and cards
were shown. The dealer had two pair,
tives up. The opener had a pair of
kings, and each Of the other two had
pair of aces. The dealer raked in
the pot, amounting to $1,160,015.
"That's pretty stiff game you are

tent.

ELECTRIC LIGHT ON BATTLHFIELDs

Special attention is being given by the
French military authorities to the ques-
tions of succoring the wounded on battle
fields when night comes on after great
battle. Experiments have been made with
powerful electric arc lights, but the appar-
atus has conditions. At length it has been
practically determined that the ambulance
corps men shall wear little incandescent
glow-lamps in their hats, just like ladies of
the ballet in spectacular extravaganza.
Each man is to carry little primary bat
terry in his pocket for the production of the
current. The wounded in need of succor
will look out for the little moving lights,
and if possible drag themselves toward
