ground. What is more, he hit him,

them, pretty carefully, too, for l
was determined that what l be-
lieved to be the last exercise of the
gift of shooting that has been given
to me should prove a record.
Therefore | selected my men and
even where I would hit them, and,
as subsequent examination showed,
made no mistakes in the seven or
eight shots that | fired.
But all the while, like poor Cap

other things; nsmely, where was

questions were solved, however, my
business was to kill as many Of
those ruffians as / could, and this i
did with finish and dispatch.
Robertson and Hans were firing
also, with more or less success, but
there were too many of them to be
stopped by our three rifles, and still
they came on till at length their
fierce faces were within a few
yards Of our little parapet and Um-
slopogaas had lifted his great axe
to give them greeting. They paused
a moment to make their final rush,

die; 1t is the others who die, like
that fellow" and he pointed to an
Amahagger who went reeling round
and round with bullet from his
Winchester through the middle, for
he had fred In the midst Of his re-
marks.
"Damn-bless, / mean-the Great
Medicine" / said as l lifted my rife
to my shoulder.
At that moment all those ANA
hagger (there we're about fifty OF
them left) became seized with a
certain perturbation. They stood
still, they stared towards the fold
OF ground out OF which they had
emerged; they called out to each
other words which | did not catch

answered the Captain, "but I shall

I motioned Hans to speak.
"Baas," he answered, "the Great

no reasons.
SO we made ready for the next
attack which we knew would be the
last, strengthening our little wall
and dragging the dead Amahagger
up against It as an added protec.
tion. AS we were so engaged the
sun rose and In It's first beams,
some miles away on the opposing
slopes Of the mountain looking tiny
against the black background Of
the precipice, we saw a party of
men creeping forward. Lifting my
glasses studied II and perceived
that In its midst was a litter.

"Oh, my God," he answered,

Another moment and the litter
or rather the chair with its escort
had vanished into the shadow of
the great cliffs, probably up some
pass which we could not see.
Next moment our thoughts were
otherwise engaged, since from va.
rious symptoms we gathered that
the attack was about to be re-
newed. Spears upon which shone
the light Of the rising sun ap-
peared above the edge Of the
ground-fold that l have mentioned,
which to the east increased to a
deep, bush-clad ravine. Also there
were voices as of leaders oncour-
aging their men to desperate eff.
fort.
"They are coming" said to Rob-
ertson.
Yes" he answered, "they are
coming and we are going. It's a
queer end to the thing we call life,
isn't 1t, Quatermain, and hang It

much for me, expect, but what
ever It is could scarcely be worse
than what I've gone through one
way and another"
There's hope for all of u.s. re-

"Well, as a matter of fact, we

"Also have business to attend to

men.
The old fellow nodded and went
to speak to the captains of his
force, doubtless as to the pursuit
Of the enemy, for presently ! saw a
company spring forward on their
tracks. Then, assisted by Hans
and the remaining Zulus, Of whom
one was Goroko, l turned to attend
to our own people. The task

fighting shields, which had been
carried in their mats, In the left
hand, welded their axes with the
right Umslopozaas, who stood in
the centre of them, however, had
no shield and swung his great axe
with both arms. This was the first
time that l had seen him fight and
the spectacle was in a way magnifl-
cent. Again and again that axe
crushed down and every time 1t fell

till at length those Amahagger
shrank back out of his reach.
Meanwhile Robertson,S 4 Hans and
I, standing on some stones at the
back, kept up q continual fire upon
them, shooting over the heads OF
the Zulus, who were playing their
part like men. Yes, they shrank

killed that captain with a revolver
shot, for my rife had become too
hot to hold, and at the sight Of his
fall, they broke and ran back into
the little hollow where our bullets
could not reach them.
So far we had held our own, but
at price, for three of the Zulus
were now dead and three more
wounded, one Of them severely, the
other two but enough to- cripple
them. In fact now there were left
Of them but three untouched men,
and Umslopogaas, SO that in all for
fighting purposes we were but
seven. What availed It that we had
killed q great number of these
Amahagger, when we were but
seven? How could seven men
withstand such another onslaught?
There in the pale tight of the
dawn we looked at each other dis

catcher agreed to at the close of
last season.
When the backstop attempted to
obtain a third advance Griffith
baked. and more than a week ago
announced the national commits
sion, at his request, had warned
all clubs in organized base ball to
refrain from playing on any team of
which Charity was a member All
ID forgiven now and the backstop
will be restored to good standing.
The Nationals will be considerably
better fortified behind the bat with
Charity on hand. His hitting
should prove a decided asset.
Whether the acquisition of Char
rity will mean that Walter Mayer
will be sent to Minneapolis, as was
originally intended, has not been
decided. Griffith plans to carry
three catchers. and unless he lands
a certain youngster. now the prop
erty of a minor league club. it is
likely Mayer. who is showing up
well in training. will be kept.
Charity, who left Chicago today,
is not expected to reach Tampa be-
fore Friday.
Charity was recovering from a
bad cold when he was in Chicago
for conference with Griffith
month ago, but is in good health
now and is expected to be ready to
take his turn back of the bat by
the time the tour with the Cincin-
natl Reds is inaugurated a week
from today.
