A Navajo superstltion.

No Navajo Indian will ever make n
campfire of wood from tree that was
struck by lightning or that might have
been. If such Il fire Is made by an ir-
reverent white man. the Indians will
retire to a distance. where they cannot
feel the heat or smell the smoke. and
they will go to sleep in their blankets,
tireless and supperless. rather than eat
Of food prepared on that kind of fire.
The Navajo believes that if he comes
within the influence of the flame he
will absorb some of the essence of the
lightning which will thereafter be at
tracted to him and sooner or later will
kill him. Up in the mountains more
than half the great pines are Scared
by lightning. but no wood from them is
used. Almost any old Navajo can mar
rate instances where the neglect of
this precaution has resulted disastrous
ly, for men are sometimes killed by
lightning in a region where thunder
storms are frequent. and it is but a
step from the effect to the cause.

And started to school in full battle array,

BY SINCLAIR HOLMES.

lnasmuch as Lord Roberts, with
characteristic modesty, refrains from
giving any description in his book as to
how he won his Victoria cross, the only
reference to the matter being a brief
mention in footnote of three lines to
the effect that it had been awarded to
him, it may be just as well to state
that it was conferred upon him not for
one, but for several, feats of con-
spicuous gallantry at the battle of Kho-
,lagange, during the mutiny. In one
instance he rescued a regimental flag
from several sepoys, attacking them
single handed and cutting two of them
down, the others taking to flight On
the same day he rescued a wounded
native officer from several sepoys, kill
ing one Of the latter on the spot by a
sweep of the saber, which split the
mans skull.
What has won for him more fame,
however, than anything else was his
march to Kandahar. He had captured
Kabul, the capital Of Afghanistan, aft
er the massacre of the English envoy
there, Sir Louis Cavagnari, when news
was suddenly brought to him of the
crushing defeat of General Burrows at
Maiwi nd. the routed forces, which
had lost their guns. being compelled
to take refuge In kandahar, where
they were besieged by Ayub Khan.
Without a moments hesitation Lord
Roberts started with a force of 10000
men from kabul to relieve Kandahar.
