lishmen who had tried to follow them
toward the ridge. The halt there was
of the briefest, and as the line stepped
up to the mark Colonel Matthias said:
men of the Gordon highlanders, our
general says that position must be taken
at all hazards The Gordon highlanders
will take it,
Then he shouted "Forward!" and
the rush was like the rush of Napoleon
and Lannes with the grenadiers at the
bridge Of Lodi The belt of danger was
narrow for the moment, and, dashing
across that, there was no stopping the
highlanders before they got under shell
ter of the foot ridge where the Gurkas'
advance lay. While the highlanders
stood in line for a moment the Afrids
trained their rifles across the field, in
tending to sweep its farther edge the
moment the line should march with
British stolidity into the fire zone, but
the killed mortimer, cheered by the
shrill pipes, were too quick for the saw
ages.
Many fell on the way as it was, and
the dead of those gone before were stun
bled over and trampled upon, but the
line never halted or looked back, not
even on reaching Captain Robinson's
| Judgment under the cliff, and behind
them came the rest Of the Gurkas and
| the British commands that had Jared
unluckily all the day. The rush Of the
| highlanders and their marvellous immu-
nifty from death frightened the super
stitious Afrids, and when Colonel Ma
thias ordered his men at the base Of the
ridge to press on without a halt, the
wounded and PROSTATE piper still play
ing the "Cock of the North" to cheer
them on, the enemy, without attempt
| ing to resist, fed over the ridge and
down the slope on the other side.
The loss of the highlanders was COM
paratively slight, but the few victims
were shining marks. Colonel Matthias
was wounded. He had seen ~ years of
service in the campaigns in India and
Africa His first honors were won at
the storming of Malakand pass in 1895.
Major Jennings Bramley was killed
when the highlanders first advanced to
| the support of the Gurkas who led off
| in the attack. He had served in the ar
my 10 years. Lieutenant Alexander La
mont was the youngest victim of the
fight He had joined the highlander
three years ago and was 20 years old
when killed leading his company in the
grand charge. Lamont belonged to d
noted soldier family and was the sixth

Leader OF the Gordon hlghlanders.J
had crossed the fire zone, leaving half
their number dead along the path. The
head Of this column was swept away
four or five times by the Arid volleys,
and then the attack came to halt OF
itself. The three companies Of Gurkas
were lying along the bloody track or
against the base Of the ridge. A quiet
fell upon the battlefield, for it seemed
for q moment that the brave fellows OF
the advance had all been slain and that
all who should dare follow their foot
steps must share the same fate.
This Ihomentary paralysis Of action
was brought to an end by an electr1fy-
ing spectacle at the front. A dark OBJ
ject was seen to tear itself away, as 1t
were, from a ledge Of rock and move
backward toward the British lines
Soon 1t evolved into the form Of q man
running and leaping in zigzag course
along the pathway strewn with bodies
and over which the bullets again began
to pour from Arid rifles on the hillside.
It was the white commander Of the
Gurkas, Captain John Graham Robin
son, who for second time faced death

salute and explanation were as abrupt
and naive as could be expected from a
gallant fellow who had lived through a
thousand close shaves the past three
hours. Said he: II have come back to
take others across. There are not enough
over there to do any good.
Orders were given first to the remain
der Of the Gurkas and then to the two
| white regiments in front to cross to sue
cor the gallant outpost. Then Captain
Robinson started back to his command.
He soon fell under wound, from which
| he died. The advance Of the Gurka re-
serve was signal for another outburst
of battle. The Afrids on the ridge again
swept the interval with bullets. The
Gurkas recoiled, as did also the Derby
shire and Dorsetshire regiments, which
attempted to follow, The front ranks
of these commands fell TO a man the
moment they started forward.
LAST came the run of the Gordon high
landers, who had faced the fire at long
| range and lost many officers and men.

India the other day might make for the
glory Of old Scotia and none other. It
was an Irish brigade that saved France
at Fontenoy, and Englishmen alone
rode with the Six Hundred into the
Jaws of death at Balaklava. The charge
Of the highlanders at Dargai ridge will
pass into history as parallel for those
two brilliant exploits.
Judging from the good account given
Of the Gordon highlanders in past wars,
where, as in the Spanish peninsula,
they made good their watchword Of
"steadfast,'' and in the Indian mutiny
won the synonym ''Tigers," America
is to be congratulated that her sons
have never met this killed clan. The
regiment was organized after the close
Of the Revolution. There was q Scottish
band at New Orleans also called high
landers, veterans of the Spanish PENN
sula too, and perhaps If Pakenham's
entire army had emulated the valor Of
those brave fellows in charging the cot
ton bale line when It looked like fur
mace Of fro there would be different
story to tell Of the last battle OF the war
Of 1919.
As for the stirring affair at Dargai
ridge it did not come about in q chance
collision ON the frontier. The British
are in force in Afridland in strength Of
30, 900 troops, with more in reserve,
and the Afrids opposing them can mus
ter 70, 900 we'll armed fighting men. But
this is not all that makes the mp hill
work for Johnny Bull. The whole Of
Afridland is one stupendous natural
ratification. Ridge follows ridge in
,uick succession, while the intervals
are broken and impossible for an army.
The affair at Dargai ridge was an Incl
dent in the advance Of General Lock
harris column toward Sampaghi pass,
which isl, 600 feet above the level Not
only is the pass by nature difficult one,
but the Afrids have strengthened 1t
with earth and stone Notifications.
1t was the comparatively insignificant
pass Of Chagru through Dargai ridge
which brought on the encounter where
the highlanders won glory. A column
attempted to move through the pass
when the Afrids, who had once aban-
loned the heights of Dargai ridge, on
either side rushed to defend it. For
three hours they stood the bombardmen
from the three British batteries nd
were not shaken. Then two British reg.
iments and one of loyal natives went
