Shot Out of T'ur:.,

A fc1mer member of the Gordon
highlanders relates the following anec-
dote in connection with one of the
Gordons who fought In the Anglo-Boer
war of 1881: just before the battle of
Laingsnek the h%ighlanders and a force
of the Beers were lying under cover
opposite each other. The highlanders
had been ordered to remain still and
hold their fire. Presumably the Beers
had received similar commands, for,
with the exception of one burgher and
one Gordon. who could not refrain
from taking pot shots at so much of
each other as they could descry. the
men on both sides We're silent.
For solne time the Boer and the high.
lander referred to conducted n duel.
First the Boer would bob up from be-
hind his shelter, fire at the l%ighlander's
cover and drop out Of sight. The high.
lander would jump up, reply and then
hurriedly hide himself. About 20 shots
had been exchanged In that way when
an exclamation of pain burst from the
lips of the highlander. His left hand
had been shattered by one Of the
Beers bullets.
