German battle line, is the scene Of
the most tragic chapter in GOgoPS
great novel, "Taras Bulba," which
tells of the inudsion OF Poland IN
The fifteenth century By the Co.'S
JACKS Of the Dnieper.
OF all the mad fighters In the Cos
Jack horde that besleged the Polish
stronghold OF Dubno, none was so gal
lnnt as were the two sons of Taras
Bulba. the famous leader of the
Ukraine. His great nostrils expanded
with pride when they dnrted against
the Polish cavalry, flashing their beau
iful horses like devils.
They were CARRIED like birds of war.
Their multifold trousers, wide as the
Black sen and upheld with golden
girdles, were thrust into boots of Grim
son leather with silver heels and
spurs. Magnificently wrought Turkish
pistols and knives were stuck In en-
broldered sashes that belted the fam
ing red coats. Long gaudy thongs
with tassels held the bags that con-
tained their Indispensable pipes and
smoking materials. Their crooked
swords were immense. and on their
handsome heads they wore tall, black
caps OF lambs wool with ornaments
of scarlet and gold.
Taras Bulba almost wept into his
brandy as he boosted with tremendous
oaths of their deeds. Hardly he knew
which he loved the more-the fierce
but wise Ostap or the headlong,
thoughtless, wholly reckless Andreas
Dubno held out desperately, though
the people were starving. Dawn came
to IL with the silence Of death, for
there was not rooster left to crow
In all the land. The only animals alive
were the warehouses;. Even Dubno's
rats and mice had been devoured to

One night Andreas learned from a
spy that the beautiful daughter of the
governor of Dubno was perishing In
her palace. He had met her once and
since that meeting her picture had
been bright In his wild heart. With.
