General Prince Rouknine, on hearing
the bell, uncovered his head, under

sacrificed themselves to save the rest
of the army. With his staff major he
went at full gallop toward Krakow,

with pain.
He arrived at the grand square of

The balls were raining around the
COssacks, whose horses were erect on
their launches, with frothing mouths.
Captain Frithiof raised his arm A
savage clamor resounded, and the SOM
Der mass of cavalry advanced at full
gallop across the ravine of Krakow.
According to the captains order, they
Immediately had ceased their rough
cries, and one could hear nothing but
the dull and formidable sound of the
galloping horses.
The soldiers of the Turkish guard
saw this storm approaching and await
ed it with tense muscles. The shock
was frightful. Each blow of saber
cut off n head, each shot laid a man
low, and there We're streams of blood
along the cutters. But the Cossacks
were cut to pieces.
Feeling, nevertheless, that his troops
were shaken, the Turkish general evac-
uated the village. Then, confident in
his superior forces, he gave them n po-
sitiOn a mile from the town, near an
abandoned farm. Krakow was taken,
but the entrance was not yet made.
Captain Frithiof trembled with rage.
''The army can be saved by you," had
said General. Prince Rouknine.
Cost what it may, this wild charge
which had caused the enemy to retire
must be continued. But how, since the
squadron was reduced to u few caya-
liers?
The captain assembled his Cossacks
on the grand square of Krakow and
counted them.
There were hardly GO. More than
400 corpses We're stretched on the
streets, side by side with the dead
Turks.
The riderless horses went about in
docile troops. Few among them had
been touched, for the balls, well di-
rected, had hit the men full in the
chest.
Night came on. The pink rays of the
setting sur softly Illuminated the hor-
rible spectacle.
Captain Frithiof remained silent,
somber. Suddenly a thought crossed
his brain, fantastic thought. He
passed his hand across his brow, as If
he wished to chase away some night
mare. His eyes had n singular light in
them as he murmured, I'VE will con-

Turning toward his men, he added:
You will go and pick up all the dead
who fell in the village and catch all
the horses that are loose. Then you
will replace the dead men in the sad
dies and stoutly tie them on the horses

The Cossacks obeyed. 1t was an

The Charge Of the Dead
a erewsome STORY Of war.
Copyright, 1899, Dv Erwin Wardman,


Night fell. leaving the battle yet un-
decided and the Russian army in a
critical position. General Prince Rouk-
nine, who commanded the left wing,
feeling himself conquered by the enc
my, gave the order to charge to few
Cossacks that were left him.
That order meant nothing less than
to dislodge 1000 Turks strongly estab-
lished in the village of Krakow with
batteries of artillery. 1t was necessary
that the Russians should drive them
from there if they did not wish to find
themselves surrounded and the for
ward march on Plevna halted.
The charge was difficult one. The
soldiers who occupied Karkow were all
members of the special guard of the
sultan, big devils of men six feet high,
who were astonished at nothing, afraid
of nothing and made it point never to
leave an enemy on the ground without
tracing on his back with their daggers
the red crescent of NIehammed.
Prince Rouknine knew this, and when
he decided to send against them his
500 Cosslcks, all that were left of his
famous regiment of Oural, he under
stood that lie was sending them to their
death.
He caused their captain to be called,
a handsome man, with blue eyes,
whose name was Serge Frithiof and
who was not more than % years old.
Coldly he said to him: "Sir, you will
have the honor to charge. You will
send your horses in full haste on the
village of Krakow, where the enemy's
infantry is stationed. The entrance
will be made, and our army will be
saved. But you will fight in the pro-
portion of one against four. and it is
for the most of you certain death If
Krakow is retaken and the passage is
free, you will ring the church bell. If
no sound is heard, it will mean that the
Russian army must succumb because
not one of you is living"
The captain slowly lowered his saber
as he said, "The bell will ring"
