During the Pine Ridge troubles. when
The Indians were on one occasion in
line of battle. the duty of charging
them was confided to the two black
troops. The negroes began to yell as
soon as they started. and their yell
went on increasing with every jump Of
their horses, until it seemed to the
listening white soldiers as II the air
were being rem with the screams of
ten thousand demons.
AS soon as the Indians caught sight,
through the cloud Of alkali dust, of the
black faces and open mouths of the
charging blacks, and got the full eff
feet of this mounting roar, they broke
and fed, and were soon surrounded
and disarmed. The chiefs afterward
confessed that the braves were scared
by the awful bowling of the black
troopers.
These black soldiers can fight as we'll
as they can howl. Their record on the
plains has been one of absolute intre-
pidity.

piled Arthur, decidedly.
But We are Marion's mem" declared
Jethro, proudly, the fire Of manhood in
his eyes.
The words acted like a trumpet call.
Each young soldier buckled on his pis-
toll, seized his rifle and sprung to his
horse, shouting: "Marion's men! We
are Marion's meni"
Once through the thicket they halted
about 200 yards from the edge of the
public road for consultation. 1t was
agreed that they were to divide them
selves into two squads. One squad
was to take up its position in a small
thicket of pines, with a dense under
growth of wild myrtle, about an eighth
of a mile from the scene OF execution.
The other squad was to be concealed
In a similar thicket of scrub turkey
oak and myrtle, within 200 or So0
yards of the first. When the soldiers
from the fort, carrying the old colonel
to execution, were midway between the
two squads the attack was to be made
and with all the noise and demonstra-
ton possible. They had not more than
taken their places when the procession
from the fort was seen approaching.
There were twenty soldiers. Eight
were walking four abreast, in front,
the same number behind, while in the
center was the colonel with two SOL
diers on either side of him. These five

was off. 1t had fallen, and the soldiers
would not stop to pick it up. He rode
with head erect, the sunlight cleaning
down upon his silvered locks. His
hands were tied behind his back. but
he held himself proudly up. He looked
what he was, every inch a courtly gen
tleman, despite the degradation of his
position.
The procession anne along slowly.
Evidently the soldiers were in no hur-
{ ~. Step by step they neared the first
squad Of young partisans concealed In
the thickets.
Suddenly the boot of al owl rang
out. 1t was answered by another. The
second had barely died away when
there was a quick report Of firearms
then the clang of sabers, while later
above the din came the cry Of Marion
Marion! Marion!"
At the first sound of firearms the
British soldiers stopped, threw VI
their heads and stood ready for the
word of command. The attack ha(
evidently come from the front, for the
noise and smoke were still apparent
from that direction. AS the word wal
given the soldiers raised their mus
kets and fired. The noise had barely
died away when there came the sec
ond attack, this time from a diff
ferent direction. The soldiers turned
in CONSERVATION. They were attacked
also from the rear. Something like
panic ensued. Just as it was develop
ing itself very perceptibly there aros'
that dreaded cry of Marion! Marion
Marion!" a name that at that time new
er failed to carry terror to the heart o
even the bravest Britisher.
The soldiers were at once thrown in
to confusion. 1t seemed to them tina
they were being closed in by the en-

"ANNIE" LAURIE IN CAMP.

Give us a song" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns Of the camps al
lied
Grew weary Of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scoff,
Lay dim and threatening under,
And the tawny mound of the Malaaoff
No longer belched its thunder.
"Give us a song" the Guardsmen say,
I'VE storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow"
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts from Severn and the
Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannoni
They sang Of love, and not of fame,
Forgot was Britain's glory
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang Annie Laurie!
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong.
Their battle-eve confession.
Beyond the darkening ocean, burned
The bloody sunset embers
And the Crimean valley learned
How English love remembers.
Aad once again the fires of He'll
Rained on the Russian quarters
With scream of shot, and burst of shell
AND believing of the mortars!
AND Irish Norah's eyes are dim,
Tor a singer dumb and CORY,
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of Annie Laurie.
All, soldiers, to your honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing.
The bravcst are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring!

place and wants them to help him out
Of it. They just left us to care for the

come with me, for If we don't act,
there's no n else. That wretch, Bal

that he has not only been contributing
to the needs of our partisan soldiery,
but that he has actually joined Ma
rion's staff, and when he was captured

the old gentleman, I must say, to ven
ture back to his home right under the
noses of the guns of the fort at Dor
chester. But 1t was all on account of
his daughter, I know. He wanted to
get her to a place Of safety. And now
they have captured him, and are going
to hang him for his d%isloyalty, so they
say. But there are many who know
II is because the colonel won't tell
where the family plate and other treas
ures are hidden. He VOWS he will die
before King George or any of his tools
shall touch a dollar of it.
But hurry, boys, hurry, or the col
onel will be past even Dull help. He
is to be hanged at ii o'clock at a
place a mile west Of the fort. This is
done to keep the matter from the
knowledge of our prisoners at the fort,
There might be a lively scene if they
found 1t out, for the colonel is very
popular. There will be a detachment
of soldiers from the fort in charge OF
~ execution, but not more than
eighteen or twenty, I have learned, FOL
It is supposed that lone of u mel
are hereabouts, and they don't want To
take any more from the garrison oil
the fort than they can help. Boys,
mount quickly. We will station our
selves along the road, and we musl
rescue the colonel. There is no one
else, and he will be murdered If WI
don't get him."

THE FENDER SAVED HER.
Mrs. Tarnbaker's Exciting Expert
ence on j Street.

Mrs. A. Farnbaker of Highland Park
came very near being killed yesterday,
and the accident that befell her again
demonstrated the efficiency of the fend-
ers in use on the street cars of this
city as life-savers.
Mrs. Farnbaker was driving up J
street in light vehicle, and was about
to pass a car on the block between
Ninth and Tenth, when her horse SHE'D
wheeled and overturned the vehicle
Mrs. Farnbaker was thrown right on
the track in front of the approaching
car, which was too close to be stopped
before reaching her.
Bystanders on the street held their
breath as they saw her disappear under
the front platform of the car, but We're
greatly relieved a moment later when
they beheld her taken off the fender,
which had picked her up and held her
free from contact with anything.
Police Patrol Driver Butler and 9TH
ers lifted her from the fender and car
ried her to the rooms of the Young
Women's Christian Association near
by, where her injuries received prompt
attention. 1t seems that when Mrs
Farnbaker was thrown from her We
hicle one of her hips received painful
injury, but it is thought to be not of a
serious character.
Mrs. Farnbaker was married on Sun
day last.
The horse ran with the vehicle into
the City Plaza, where the buggy was
wrecked. The horse was not injured.
