When the Fuzzy Wuzzies
"Crumpled Up the Square"

1t was 1T the battle of Tamai in the
Sudan, on March ID, 1884, that the
Fuzzy Wuzzies broke the British
square," The trlbesmen, utterly reck-
less of death, charged an angle OF the
square in the face Of what seemed
an annihilating fire. They threw them
selves on the bayonets, and used their
spears in the death agony before the
bayonets could be withdrawn. They
came over the bodies Of their own
dead, and crawling on hands and
knees, under the muzzles of the guns,
they gained the inside OF the square,
and stabbed and slashed until one Drl-
gade gave way in confusion, and Its
guns were captured. The other bril-
gadesj closed in, the guns were re-
taken, and the Fuzzies were chased
far past the scene of this momentary
triumph, but they had "crumpled up
the square," and the exploit caught
the British imagination and put Fuzzy
Wuzzy into English literature. The
Fuzzies themselves belonged to the
Hadendowa tribe and were command
ed by Osman Digna, although the lat
ter generally kept himself in a place
Of safety during the fighting. The
Fuzzies got their name owing to the
peculiar manner in which they wore
their hair, The Black Watch formed
part of the square and fought with
the utmost bravery during the whole
of the campaign against the Mahdi.

Men smash and fall under big mis-
fortune, loss of health or financial dis
aster. Most women who fail, fail just
because the little things Of life have
defeated them.
Lady Diana Duff Cooper wrote an
article on this subject She called 1t
''When Women Fail!'
In # she said: when the woman
who fails. confesses that after years
of half-hearted struggle she at last
reached her opportunity but lacked the
motive power to seize 1t, she spoke the
bitter truth Of many failures.
How many women fly off from study,
concentration or rest just to run out
to tea or weekend yet
they expect that weathercock success
TO register a steady wind"
And there, all in nutshell, you
have 1.-THE reason why women fail,
observes the Philadelphia Record.
Az far as "half-hearted struggles"
go there is very little to be said. Com
petition is too keen, every path In life
too crowded for half-hearted efforts to
succeed. Whatever your line may be.
your wish to succeed must be ardent.
You must wish it with your soul, your
heart. your mind The lukewarm new
err succeeded and we even have bib
lical authority that rather than that
it's best to be frankly cold.
So make up your mind to be one

Shorty. On foot he makes his
way to Siston Lake. There he
finds his companion of the day
before, and Railway, with a girl,

Indians attack on him. Then Joyce
caught sight Of his hands, and was all
sympathy and dismay, and took him
into a hut and bathed them and BAN
daged them.
Father McGrath had gone to visit
an old Indian in the neighborhood, and
the two talked long time, and then
ate simple meal together in the pres
ence of the children, who stared at
Lee over their soup dishes out of their
large, black eyes.
"It is strange, the mine being so near
the house." Joyce said. you know
Mother and I were never quite con-
WINGED that there was mine. We
were never quite sure that my father
hadn't a delusfon on that subject, and
that Leboeuf, who was devoted to him.
wasn't humoring him.
"Old Leboeuf must have been living
there for a long time. He had some
grudge against Pathway, you know.
He would have killed him once, If my
father hadn't interviewed"
She reverted to her fathers death,
and Lee was reluctantly compelled to
give her the particulars.
HE may have suffered a stroke and
have fallen over the cliff" he said.
"At any rate, his death was instan-
taneous. You may be sure he did not
suffer"
1t was when he spoke Of his dis
covery of her mothers grave that
Joyce showed signs Of breaking down.
''She was Ill such long time." she
said. "She was paralyzed, and there
was nothing that could be done for
her. When she died my father and
Leboeuf carried her body away into
the forest by night. They would never
tell me where she had been buried,
land I remember used to prowl about
| the house, always hoping to discover
her grave. I suppose that was a part
of nv fathers madness, in a way. He
wanted her to be near him where he
was working"
It was after dinner that Lee opened
the subject nearest to his heart.
Dear, you know what I want to
ask" he said. "Will you let me take
YOU south with me before the SHOWS ?
And will you let Father McGrath
marry us before we start?"
"Oh, Lee-when?" she asked.
To-day, dearest"
"Oh. not today, Lee"
Tomorrow, then? And Wen spend

hands. the sun was in the same part
Of the sky as when he had gone to
sleep.
For a few moments the memory of
that grotesque struggle seemed like
something that he had read in a book.
Then, bit by bit, it began to become
a part of memory's records.
But it was not until, looking up,
he saw the entrance to the tunnel
plainly visible in the cliff overhead,
that he realized the whole episode
had not been a disordered dream, born
of his frantic. futile struggles.
And even then Lee could not con-
vince himself until he had gone back
to Pellys skeleton and ascertained
that it was really there, and looked
at the initials on the butt of the re-
volver, and stood beside the little
grave.
Then, very painfully, for his hands
were skinned and raw, Lee clambered
up the cliff and made his way through
the tunnel He did not think he would
ever want to visit Pelly's gold mine
again.
He had suspected all the while that
the mine was myth, and even now
he was not convinced that there was
gold in 1t.
But joy was in his heart, Joy over
flowing, for all his troubles were at
an end He was going to Joyce, to
make her his wife, to take her away.
And his heart thumped at the antic-
ipation OF that incredible dream, and
he trod the trail toward the log house
like boy. he broke his long fast
with a moderate meal and started
for the mission. AS he went up the
ascent a mob of half-breed and In
dian children came pouring out Of the
schoolhouse. And there in the en-
trance Joyce was standing, watching
them-and him, approaching.
She looked up at him gravely as he
drew near, and she knew at once from
the look on his face enough to make
the breaking Of the news less of a
shock to her. But the tears rolled
down her cheeks as he told her Of her
fathers death.
Joyce, darling, can't help feeling
that It's the best th1ng-in the end"
said Lee AT least his sufferings are
at an end"
81 think so, too, Lee" she answered
calmly. "And now know that-some-
howl have always known my father
was no longer alive. The bond be-
tween us was very close, though l was
away from him so many years."
Lee told her about the discovery Of
the mine and his encounter with Lee

CHAPTER xII-Continued

The sun rose high. It was begin
ming to descend. 1t ceased to illumi-
nate the gorge. Lee was nearing the
second sapling. He would work on
till that was passed, and then-what?
And now each step of each ascent
was an incredible labor. His hands
were Jumps of bruised flesh. He was
hardly conscious what he was doing.
STILL he must reach the second sap
ling
He passed 1t. A sort of film de-
scended over his consciousness. In
the declining day he saw himself
for some other egress. Impossible!
For forty feet there were footholds In.
Vulnerable in the lower part of the
cliffs; above them the hard granite
surface bulged inward. There was no
handhold for an ape. And he stag
gered from one end of the gorge to
the other, round and round and
sround-an ape IN cage
He dropped upon the ground utterly
worn out, utterly hopeless. A little
respite, and then he would arise, to
struggle again, a short sleep
Respite? He had slept, and that
lynx sense of his had just awakened
him In time-iust in time to antici-
pate that shadow stealing down the
gorge toward him. A missEapen,
gross thing that leaped forward snarl-
ing, and then leaped back as Lee
struck at it.
Lee was alert on the instant In
that thing alone lay his chance Of es-
cape. And, as it vanished into the
shadows, Lee went laundering after it
in the darkness, finding it, losing 1t.
He saw it in every moon-shadow
among the rocks He heard it jeering
at him. Then stones began to fly
One grazed his cheek, one struck him
In the chest. Now the thing was In
front of him, and when he rushed, 1t
was not there, and shower Of stones
from an unexpected quarter cut his
lip and chin.
Thus tortured, maddened Lee was
baited till the second dawn filtered
into the gorge. There was no respite.
All the while Lee struggled against the
bonds of sleep. He would rest, his
eyes closing for an instant-it was
upon him again, stone would hurtle
past him. another rush would follow,
and again the thing was gone in the
dark.
Davu-daylight-s sunlight. Crouched
behind ridge or rock above him, Lee
saw the nlisshapen figure with the
massive shoulders and the. long,
furred arms
And, yielding to the elemental rage
that was in him, Lee whipped out his
automatic and fred two bullets. They
Clipped fragments of stone from be-
side the face, which continued to
watch him unmoved. That face, IL
yumined by the sunlight in the gorge,
appeared so human, so intelligent, so
much at variance with the misshapen
body, that Lee was shocked at the
sight of 1t.
1t was only man-but such a
man! A gorilla, all but the human
face.
Lee had already pulled the trigger
a third time, but there was no third
shot. Then he remembered that he
had had only two cartridges remaining
He was unarmed.
He sprang, and stone struck him
in the chest and hurled him backward
Like two balloons they bombarded
each other with stones; but at last,
as a fortunate shot sent the other
staggering. Lee managed to close with
him.
