DEAD KING WON A
BATTLE

The battle won by a king.
after his death was the Veto
ry achieved by the people of
the Cid, in Spain. Three days
after the Cids death his capital
was attacked by the Moors in
great force. His people wash
ed and dressed the body, clad
it in a suit of finest mail, tied
it on a horse, and surround
ing it by a brilliant cavalcade
of officers and attendants,
went forth to battle. The
Moors were panic-stricken at
sight of the Cid, OF whose
death they had been informed
and after a briet struggle,
broke ranks and fed in wild
confusion. Tradition says
that over 10000 Moors were
drowned in their efforts to get
to their ships, and that Of
thirty-six chiefs, twenty-five
were slain on the field.
