QUEER SCENES OF WARFARE
Large Part of Battle of Monterey, in
the Mexican War, Was Fought
Indoors.

At the battle of Monterey, in tn,
Mexican war, our troops were able to-
command the streets of the city with,
their artillery, but they experienced
much difficulty in driving the Mexi+s
cans from their houses. Accordingly
as the city was built of stone or adobe,ls
the Americans broke through the wallst
from one house to another, fightingE
and driving out the enemy as they
proceeded. Thus it appears, says ant
exchange, the battle of Monterey was
largely fought indoors.
In the time of William the Silent,
when the Netherlands were fightina
the .Spaniards, a number of Spanish
vessels became frozen in on the Zuider~
Zee. Out came the Dutch on horse
back on the ice to attack the Span
iards. This is probably the only battle
of record where cavalry was employed
directly against a naval force.
There have been battles fought IN
foreground. Choicest Of these vas the
fierce encounter pertaining to the siege
of Harlem in the Dutch wars. The
S%paniards mined and the Dutch coun-
termined with equal industry and be-
low the ground a terrific conflict en-
sued. When, after the commune, the
Versailles troops took Paris, they
chased certain of the communist
forces to the great sewers of the CAPT.
tai, and in these more than one san
culinary battle occurred.

painless habitat of wild beasts-past
lair of lion and leopard and cheetah-
or and on ever in a direction that led
him farther and farther away from
Wambo's kraal-onward deeper and
deeper into the depths Of the African
jungle.
And as the sun went down, DR.. Rob-
ert Wayne, bereft of reason, arrived at
the entrance to q hollow mountain, a
place called by the Kairs the Caves of
the Hundred Lions. AS Doctor Wayne
stumbled into the great cave he found
water pouring from the rock wall and
forming a pool-a natural sunken bath,
as it were-in the rock basin in the
floor of this granite mansion OF ma
lures w architecture and fashion
ing. Doctor Wayne drank of the wa
ter.
A lion passed him, on its way to its
lair somewhere in the rock chambers
of the cave. Wayne viewed the lion
cuviously, without fear. Two more
lions passed. Wayne stared at them
hlankly, without reason.
Half a dozen leopards appeared.
Doctor Wayne seized one Of these Loop
ards and played with it, as a child
with a kitten.
And presently night fell athwart
the entrance to the ave 1t was now
dark where Doctor Wayne lay just
within his rock house. And from sheer
physical exhaustion he fell asleep.
The six leopards lay around and
near him, with IL eyes blazing like
powerful lamps piercing the darkness
watchers over the silent, helpless
form Of the American missionary.

CHAPTER TX.
Fifteen Years After.

A bare-headed, golden-haired girl OF
twenty-three picked rose after rose
from bushes that formed al arched
trellis leading from the bungalow door
to the sidewalk at the other end of the
lawn.
In the library the calendar pro-
claimed the month to be January. Yet
outside red and white roses grew in
riotous lu~xuriance. For the place was
Los Angeles, Cal, where there is no
''last rose of summer"
The girl with the golden hair was
Edith Wayne, now in all the splendid
fulflment Of her beauty and woman
hood. For Is years had elapsed since
she and her mother left British East
Africa, mourning father and husband
as one lead.
On their way home they had stopped
in England long enough to comply
with certain legal requirements where
by the fortune left to Doctor Wayne
would in due time be transferred to
the wife and daughter as the heirs OF
the missionary. They had then con
tinued their journey-escorted by
Uncle Ste and Hart-to California
And this beautiful bungalow in Los
Angeles, in front of which Edith was
now picking roses, had been bought
with part Of the money received from
England. Mrs. Wayne's brother. I'm
Gle Steve" lived with them. And Hart
could be seen eve now in the back
yard Of the Wayne house performing
his duties as gardener.
As Edith plucked the roses she
heard a woman's voice calling:
Good morning, Edith"
A middle-aged woman came across
the lawn. She owned the bungalow
next door and since childhood had
been an intimate friend Of Mrs. Wayne.
Good morning. Mrs. Norris" Edith
said.
Edith" said Mrs. Morris, do you
know you are the exact image Of your
mother as she was at your age-when
she marriott Doctor Wayne?"

went sway with Chief Amazu?'
Yes, Bantu. Look" Edith proudly
held up a necklace Of shells for Bantu
to inspect. He recognized the shells
as cowry. They had monetary value,
and we're used, in some respects, al
currency in the jungle.
"Amazu,' when he was here a few
minutes ago. gave me this necklace"
Edith 10 explained. And, Bantu.
I'm now going to give it to you. You
will wear it, and every day while l am
gone it will remind you of me-"
"Bantu!" Mrs. Wayne now said,
why do you look so frightened? Tell
me, is anything wrong? Amazu came
here a little while ago and told US
hat a member of his band RAJ down
with the sleeping sickness-perhaps
dying. He asked my husband to get
his medicines and go with him to treat
the poor sick man"
I'm too late" Bantu said, looking
in alarm toward the forest.
What do you mean, Bantu?" Mrs.
Wayne asked, in growing u~neasiness.
"Amazu's men are going to attack
you" Bantu said. "Amazu knows the
white medicine man is a fine shot and
took him way SO he couldn't shoot so
many Kafirs when they come to fight
you"
Mrs. Wayne called to Uncle Steve
and Hart, who were busy at the camp
fire. Come here, quick! Listen to
Bantu!"
Uncle Steve and Hart ran up. Bantu
told them of seeing the long line OF
warriors and what he had heard Anna
zu and the medicine man say at the
hollow tree.

Steve. Amazu's story of a sick man
was only a ruse to lure Robert away
from this camp. They've got him
alone now-at their mercy"
'Listen!" cried Bantu, looking to-
ward the jungle. He was quicker than
the. white men to catch an unusual
sound. They are coming" Bantu
warned. in an awed voice.
In confirmation of the warning a
shot pierced the stiffness and one of
the horses fell dead in its tracks. More
shots followed. The remaining three
horses bolted and disappeared in the
Jungle.
Quick! We must defend ourselves!"
shouted Uncle Steve. He hustled Mrs.
Wayne and Edith and Bantu into the
wagon. Then he and Hart piled rolls
Of tent canvas one upon the other on
top Of provision boxes, thus forming a
barricade. Behind this ~improvised for
~tiication the two men took their places
with guns ready.
In a mass Amazu's warriors emerged
from the jungle and advanced eau
tiously across to the clearing. Amazu
fired a shot from his rife. A shower
of assegais struck the wagon. Uncle
Steve and Hart began pouring a dead

DR.. Robert Wayne had followed
Amazu trustingly from the wagon
camp. He carried his medicine chest
as well as his gun. On the trail they
had ambushed him-striking him down
with an assegai-without warning and
before he could use his gun. And
Amazu had left him lying on the trail,
supposedly dead.
But the missionary-doctor, though
wounded on the head and seemingly
lifeless, was only unconscious. When

An Indiana sportsman was telling
about the experience of a ~tenderfoot
friend he had taken out to hunt deer
for the first time. They came on a
handsome specimen quite suddenly
and the sportsman, wishing to give
his friend the first chance, told him
to shoot.
But the other gazed wideeyed at the
deer, which had a magnificent spread
of horns. Look at him!" he ex-
claimed; hes got a chair on. his
