Charge! Charge! Tue, tue, tue!''
Above the din, the shouts, the tumult,
the echoing Of the distant musketry,
that silvery cadence rang. Down into
the midst, With the tricolor waving
above her head. the bride of her fiery
mare between her teeth, the raven Of
the dead zouavc flying above her head
and her pistol leveled in deadly aim,
rode Cigarette.
The lightning fire Of the crossing
swords played round her, the glitter of
lances dazzled her eyes, the reek of
smoke and of carnage was round her,
but she dashed down into the heart Of
the conflict as gayly as though she
rode at review, laughing, shouting,
waving her torn colors that she grasp
ed, with her curls blowing back in the
breeze and her bright young face set
in the warriors lust. Behind her by
scarcely length galloped three squad
rons of chasseurs and spahis, trampling
headlong over the corpse strewn field
and breaking through the masses of the
Arabs as though they were seas of
corn.
She wheeled her mare round by c.
ellis side at the moment when with six
swift passes Of his blade he had ward
ed off the CHIEFS blows and sent his
own sword down through the chest
bones Of the Bedouin's mighty form.
"Well struck! The day is turned!

She gave the order as though she
were a marshal of the empire. The sun
blaze fell on her where she sat on the

the tricolor folds above her head and

Fantastic dress instead of the breast

her ldolatry, the flag that was as her
religion, floating back as she went she
spurred her mare straight against the
Arabs, straight over the lifeless forms
OF the hundreds slain, and after her
poured the fresh sQuadrons Of caval-
~, the ruby burnoose of the spahis
streaming on the wind as their darling
led them on to retrieve the day for
France.
Not bullet struck or a saber grazed
her; but there, in the heat and the
press of the worst of the slaughter,
Cigarette rode hither and thither, to
and fro, her voice ringing like birds
song over the field in command, in ap-
plause, in encouragement, in delight;
bearing her standard aloft and IN
touched; dashing needless through a
storm of blows; cheering on her "chil-
dren' to the charge again and again,
and all the while with the sunlight
full on her radiant, spirited head, and
with the grim, gray raven flying above
her, shrieking shrilly it's '"Tue, tue,
tue!" The army believed with super
stitious faith in the potent spell of that
veteran bird, aaRGd}~the~ story ran -thhd that
whenever he flew above a combat
France was victor before the sun set.
The echo of the ravens cry, and the
presence of the child who, they knew,
would have a thousand musket balls
fired in her fair young breast rather
than live to see them defeated, made
the fresh squadrons sweep in like a
whirlwind, bearing down all before
them.
Cigarette saved the day.

TWO MYSTERIOUS GRIMES
Mrs. Georgia Bailey and Miss Lena
Renner Found Dead Near ROadsides.
BOTH KILLED IN SAME MANNER
Evidently the Victims of the
Same Person.
SENSATIONS AT EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Evansville, Ind, Nov. Is. The mys-
terry of the two murders near this city
yesterday remains unsolved. The facts
that both victims were women, that
both were killed In the same manner
and evidently by the same person adds
to the mystery. What possible motive
existed for either crime no one ia able
to explain. Neither woman was known
to have had an enemy, and nothing is
known to link them in any affair likely
to furnish an excuse for one man to at
tack both.
The body of Mrs. Georgia Bailey was
found near the city beside q public
highway. There were finger marks on
the throat. The neck was broken. The
superstition is that the woman was
ohoked to death by some one in q
buggy, and that when she fell out her
neck was broken. There were evidences
OF the body having been dragged some
distance and thrown into ditch. A
mile outside the city, but in an oppo-
site direction, the body OF Miss Lena
Renner was discovered by aearchers.
Her throat also bore finger marks,
showing the manner of her death to be
similar to that Of Mrs. Bailey. John
Kifor, who was seen with Miss Renner,
was arrested, but proved an abb and
was released.
The similarity of these two murders
to two others In this city during the
last three years forms another strange
incident of the case. In April, 1888,
Mrs. Mary Stork went buggy riding
with stranger. The next morning her
dead body was found in ditch. The
man who took her life was never dis
covered. Mrs. Stork was prominent
young woman, and great sensation
followed her death. In April Of the
following year Misn Nora Kifer OF Ell.
berfeld, Ind, while visiting here. sud.
denly disappeared. Her body was found
weighted down in creek the follow ne
month. Joseph ID. Keith. wealthy
farmer, will be hanged next Friday foi
the latter crime.
