slaughtered Its defenders and estab-
llshed there his capital. His success
caused enormous additions to his ranks,
and soon all that section of Egypt was
inhamed.
BY this time the British and Egvp-
tians were alarmed and sent a force
under Hicks pasha, an English officer,
down to meet him. The result was hor-
ribe. Hicks and his men fell into a
trap In the desert and the Mahdi slew
the whole 10000.
Advancing toward the rich and beau

For twelve years this man remained q

ed with all manner of cruelty.
Terrified by the Mahdi's success, Gen.
Gordon, the bravest man Of the English
army, was sent to defend Khartoum.
He was given an inadequate force.
This was at the beginning of 1884. He
offered the Mahdi all the western Sou
dan as his own territory, with the rec
ognized rank of Sultan. In bitter re-
ply the Mahdi sent him back a complete
set Of dervish garments. Then the vic
torious fanatic and pious Arab set out
for hhartoum, where the hapless PEG
pie, deceived by the hope Of English
| help, had fingered to welcome Gordon.
No notice was taken of that hero's proc
lamations to the Soudanese. His com
munlcadons Were cut with the north,
and very soon horde numbering 2Oo,-
600 swarmed at the heels of the Mahdi
into Omdurman and the outskirts of
Khartoum. This was in October, 1884.

The story Of Great Britain's wars in

growth Of his horde Of adherents, his
conquests throughout southern Egypt

Of his declining years, together with the
tyrann!cl sway of his successor, who
has now met defeat, form a parallel to
the careers Of the prophet of Arabia
and his death-defying SUCCESSORS. 1t
was IN 1882 that the British and Egyp-
tan Governments learned that Ger

all natives to him and preparing to
found a mighty empire among the

said that he could turn bullets into
water, He assumed the title OF Mahdi,
successor Of the Prophet" organized
his followers into an army and laid
siege to various villages, conQuering all
and enrich!nc himself by plundering
the Inhabitants. Then, with an army
