The Gray batteries on the plain,

CHAPTER TX.
The Baptism Of Fire.

All the landscape in front Of Fra
casse's company seemed to have been
deserted; no moving figures were any
where in sight; no sign Of the enemy's
infantry.
Family the town clock was heard
striking the hour. From eight to nine
and nine to ten Fracasse's men wait
ed; waited until the machine was
ready and Westerling should throw in
the clutch; waited until the troops
were in place for the first move before
he hurled his battalions forward.
They did not know how the captain at
their back received his orders; they
only heard the note Of the whistle,
with command familiar to a trained
irntinct on the edge of anticipation. 1t
released spring In their nerve-cen-
ters. They responded as the wheels
respond when the throttle is opened.
Jumping to their feet they broke into
run. bodies bent, heads down, like
the peppered silhouette that faced
Westerling's desk. What they had
done repeatedly in drills and maneu-
vers they were now doing in war, me-
chanically as marionettes.
Come on! The bullet Is not made
that can get me! Come on!" cried the
giant Eugene Aronson.
Nearly all felt the exhllaration of
movement in company. Then came
the sound that generations had drilled
for without hearing; the sound that
fummons the imagination of man in
the thought of how he will feel and
nct when he hears 1t; the sound that
is everywhere like the song snatches
Of bees driven whizzing through the
air.
"That's 1t! We're under fire! We're
under fire!" flashed q crooked light
ming recognition Of the sound through
every brain.
There was no sign Of the enemy;
no telling where the bullets came
from.
Whish-whishl Th-ipp-whing! The
refrain gripped Peterkin's imagination
with an unseen hand. He seemed to
DO suffocating. He wanted to throw

pressed to the ground. The rest fee
toward a shoulder of the slope
through the instinct that leads a
hunted man in street into an alley.
In confusion of arms and legs, press
ing one On the other, no longer SOL
diers, only a mob, they throw them
selves behind the first protection that
offers itself. Fracasse also runs. He
runs from the fame of a furnace door
suddenly thrown open.
The Gray batteries have ceased fir
ing; certain gunners' ears burn under
the words Of inquiry as to the cause
Of the mistake from an artillery com,
mander Dellarme's men are hugging
the earth too close to cheer. A desire
to spring up and yell may be in their
hearts, but they know the danger of
showing a single unnecessary inch Of
their craniums above the skyline. The
sounds that escape their throats are
those of winning team at tug of
war as diaphragms relax.
With the smoke clearing, they see
20 or 80 Grays plastered on the slope
at the point where the charge was
checked. Every one of those prostrate
forms is within fatal range Not one
moves finger; even the living are
feigning death in the hope Of surviv-
ing. Among them is little Peterkin,
so faithful in forcing his refractory
legs to keep pace with his comrades.
II he Is always up with them they will
never know what is in his heart and
call him a coward. AS he has been
knocked unconscious, he has not been
in the pell-mell retreat.
His first stabbing thought on coming
to was that he must be dead; but, no;
he was opening his eyes sticky with
dust, At least, he must be wounded!
He had not power yet to move his
hands in order to feel where, and when
they grew alive enough to move, what
he saw in front Of him held them
frigidly still. His nerves went search

claimed Marta as she counted them.
"And you need not sit on the regular
seats, but around me on the platform.
1t will be more intimate"
That's grand!" came in chorus.
They did not bother about chairs, but
seated themselves on the floor around
Marta's skirts.
The church clock doomed out its de-
liberate strokes through ten, the hour
set for the lesson, and all counted
them-one-two-three. Marta was
thinking what dismal little effort
theirs was, and yet she was very hap
py, tremblingly happy in her distrac.
tion and excitement, that they had not
waited for her at the door of the
chapel in vain.
She announced that there would be
no talk this morning; they would only
say their oath. Repeating In concert
the pledge to the boys and girls Of
other lands, the childish voices pecu

rapidity of a man falling from high

he was bound to strike ground.

that he was still keeping up with Eu-

his arms, dropped his rife, and
whirled on his heel. As he went down
his hand clutched at his left breast
and came away red and dripping.
After one wild backward glance, Pc
terkin plunged ahead.
"Eugene" Hugo Mallin had stopped
and bent over Eugene in the supreme
instinct Of that terrible second, sup
porting his comrades head.
"The bullet Is not-made-" Eugene
whispered, the ruling passion strong
to the last. A flicker Of the eyelids, a

A company Of infantry resting
among their stacked rifles changed
the color of the square in the distance
from the gray pavement to the brown
of mass of uniforms. In the middle
of the main street a major Of the bri-
gade staff, with a number Of junior
officers and orderlies. was evidently
waiting on some signal. Sentries were
posted at regular intervals along the
curb. The people in the houses and
shops from time to time stopped pack
ing up their effects long enough to go
to the doors and look up and down
apprehensively, asking bootless, ner'
vohs questions.
"Are they coming YETI"
"Do you think they will come?
"Are you sure it's going to be war;"
"Will they shell the town."
"There'll be time enough for you
to get away!" shouted the major. Cali

in command. Meanwhile, get ready!"
/ Then the major became aware Of a
young woman who was going in the
wrong direction. Her cheeks were
flushed from her rapid walk, her lips
were parted, showing firm, white
teeth, and her black eyes were re-
'garding him in blaze Of satire OF
amusement; an emotion, whatever II
was, that thoroughly centered his at
tention.
"Mademoiselle, I am very sorry, but

said very politely, you may not go any

Marta answered, for she was alread,

was her schoolroom, where hal

A TRAP FOR MARINERS.
SaImadina Bank, Of coIombia's Coast,
 Is a PeriIous ShoaI.

SaImadina Bank, Of colombia's Coast,
 Is a PeriIous Shoal.
 One of the most dangerous places for navigation is the Salmadina bank, which lies just outside the harbor of Cartagena. Colombia. Many vessels have come to grief on the treacherous sands of Salmadina in the past, and because of the tmpossibility of keeping buoys on it the shoal is a constant menace to ships plying those waters.
 This dangerous bank is about four miles long and two miles wide. There is scarcely more than twelve feet of water over it at any time. The sea is usually smooth in that part of the Caribbean. and unless there is ground swell enough to cause waves to break on the reef there is nothing to warn the navigator that he is approaching this shallow spot. He may have his lead going and get plenty of water one minute and be bang up on the shoal the next
 The lighthouse people will probably never be able to put buoys on Salma dina that will stay there. They are in- variably carried away in the terrific hurricanes that periodically sweep these waters. So it seems as if Salma dina was bad spot put there for the permanent HDrriment of shipmasters. New York Sun.

FATE OF THE ABSOLUTE.
British Economy and the End of
 FrankIin's Exploring Ship.

British Economy and the End of
 Franklin's Exploring Ship.
 The story of how the brave little ex- ploring ship the Resolute was found by an American vessel in Davis strait aft CT a thousand mile cruise from Mel vile island without soul on board is easily the most captivating in the his- tory of arctic exploration. The Reso- lute. locked in the ice, was abandoned on May 15, 1854, sorely against the will of her captain by advice of the leader of the Belcher- Franklin expedition. The reappearance of the vessel on Sept. IT caused a great sensation, and the United States brought the vessel with great ceremony to Cowes in order to present it to the queen of England.
 The queen, the prince consort and others of the royal family then at Os- borne House inspected the vessel, which had been carefully repaired and all the original furniture retained in position down to the smallest trinkets. The American skipper traced before her majesty the thousand mile course of the vessel and expressed his belief that Sir John Franklin was still alive, living among the EskimOs.
 After many banquets the actual transfer of the vessel took place on Dec. 80, 1856. when the American flag was replaced by the British. And now comes the tragedy. The admiralty had no sooner come into the possession of the vessel than 1t proceeded to break it up on the good old principle of pub lie economy!-IondonC Chronicle.
