It was certainly dangerous; the pom- pom shells were skimming just over the heads of the Bushmen, and the Mauser bullets spattered the ground in front and in rear.
I'm off, said Dash, and, laying down his rifle rushed to the wounded man.
The keen-sighted Boers saw his figure,
and that gave them the range, of which
they had up to then been uncertain. The Bushmen had ten casualties in the next five minutes. It was long range fire, and the bullete whistled over Dash's head.
He raised the Lancer, despite the latter's appeals to be left lying where he was, and started back to the firing line.

'I'm not here to argue; those are your orders,' said the A.D.C, curtly, sitting on his horse amid a shower of bullets.
I'll ask the men, sir,' and Dish, nor- vously. Thon he shouted to as many as would bear in their extended order, Lads, the Colonel orders us to take that kopje.

look at it said another.
You see, sir, the men won't go,' said OH, FIE, CIGARETTE! Dash, and I really think we are holding
them very well from here.'
The A.D.C.'s jaw tightened.
Very well, sir,' he said; Perhaps you will kindly favour me with your naine, must report to the Colonel.'
I
He swung his horse round and galloped away. As he went, his ears caught a sarcastic sentence about Imperial bloody butchers.'
The Colonel gnawed his moustache when he heard his.A.D.C.'s report.
'Pretty soldiers!' he said. • Worst of
it is, I can't court-martial him for fear of the blessed public. Order B Company of the Rutland to double back and take up a position to the right rear."
B Company withdrew. The fire from the donga redoubled; the gunners got a slating, and the attack was brought to a standstill. That
was not all. From behind fhe kopje. before the Rutlands could reach their position, for they had to make a detour to the left, issued Brother Boer in a thick column of five hundred men. The rear screen, which had not dismounted, bolted incontinently across the veldt in the direction of Ficksburg.
Dash saw the gålkping line of the enemy bearing down on his company.
His horses
were
too far in the rear to give his men a chance of mounting. He did all that could he done under the circumstatices to rotire and reform, facing the enemy, who were rapidly closing upon his right flank.
...
Brother came on like a whirlwind, firing from his saddle.
A grim smile spread over the Colonel's face.
*Scuppered !* he said, the danned
curs.
Then he turned to more pressing matters in front. The enemy had crawled out of the donga, and were working up to the
guns which were already firing case.
* Company to support B!" shouted the Colonel; run like lares, my lads! They'll be in on us in a minute or two.'
But the Scallywags were fighting; they fought for ten whole ininutes. Then they put up their hands. But with shouts of One-and-twopence to the rescue!' tho Rutlands were upon the Bojers' as they dismounted to seize the discarded rifles. Sweating, shouting, stabbing they came, and Brother Boer, such of him as bad not dismounted, thought it wine to lear. Thirty killed and sixty prisoners was the Rutlands' bag, and the Boers in the donga, making haste to their horses, scattered in all directions, hammered by shrapnel and rifle fire front the victorious British.
Dash, with his arm in a sling-he had a bullet in the wrist-went to make his re- port.
My men bohaved most gallantly, sir,'
ho began; 'they didn't surrender until
Here the Colonel broke in.
I know all about your men, thank you. You can take them to their nurse. Now, footsack !!
Which was hideously improper language
to use to a free-born Colonial.

There was a correspondent, hungry for nows, at Ficksburg, when the Second Scallywags returned, and they told him all about the fight.
Consequently, Captain Dash got the D.S.O., and his people wept in their affec tion for their dear son.' The subaltern who led the Rutlands in their charge--he was barely twenty-one-got à bullet through his knee and was laune for life. G. F. in St. James's Budget.
JUDGE SLOWLY.
It is not always au easy matter to judge correctly of the quality of things. Less than one in a thousand of us is capable of accurately estimating the worth of a picture; zot more - than one in a hundred the quality of a horse. In general, judgments rapidly mado are of small value Did you ever notice,' recently inquired a visitor to an English University town of his compation, as they sat together on a verandeb, *that queer-looking old fellow with the idiotic face_farned-up cont collar, and boots seven sizes too large, who passes here every morning at eleven?
Many a time,' replied the other, He is Professor of Comparative Grammar to the University of —, aud speaks fourteen modern buguages, to say nothing of his mastery of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew. The incident will serve to show the futility of superficial judg. ment. Many judgments which pas unchall- enged are none the less deplorably wrong, more especially in matters which require a practical test. Who can say positively whether a certain medicing has the power to cure some particular malady or not without giving it a trial?
When the friend of Mr Michael Fitzpatrick, of 66. Forbes Street, Woolloomoolo", Sydney, N.S.W., advised him to take Mother Seigel's Curativo Syrup for the cure of indigestion, he backed his advice with some excellent reasops- excellent becauso his judgment of that reniedy was based upon actual experience of its merit. Says Mr Fitzpatrick iu a letter writton on the 20th June, 1902: For many years I suffered terribly from indigestion Rud biliousness, and speut pounds on doctors' medicines and so-called cures, but without avail. In those days I had -no appelite, and the little food I sto turned sour on my stomach, causing severe attacks of heartburn. I was also troubled with paius in the chest, violevt headaches, and habitual con- stipation. -lu fact, at one time or other I suffered from most of the symptoms which characterise u luggish liver and impaired .digestiou. My worst afiliction, however, was a total inability to obtain: sufficient sleep. I would go to bed feeling worn-out and sleepy, but my soon as my head touched the pillow my brain would become naturally motivo, and I would think of every kind of subject, and roll and toss about between the sheets, listening to the Fish Market Clook as it chired hour after bour, until all my nerves wore in a quiver: Then I would riso nnd walk the floor, backwards and forwards, the greater portion of the night.' For years I had been in this wretched state when one day a friend fortunatoly eatled to sce ime. I was trying the hot water cure at the time, and was jest in the act of drinking a cupful of steaming liquil. Be asked me what I was taking it for. I described my troubles to him, and in reply to a further question Informed him that I had not, so far, gained any relief from the hot-water treatment. He advised me to abandon it and try Mother Saigel's Curative Syrup instead. He gave me such excellent reasons for doing so that I accepted his advica— advice which, I am thankful (to say, has had the very beat results. After taking only one small bottle I felt very much better. As I continued to take the Syrup, so did I continue to improve in health, and in less than two months my cure was accomplished. That was three years ago, and I have remained in good health ever since, which proves conclusively that it is not mere passing relief that Mother Seigel's Curative Syn affords to sufferers from indigestion, but manent duro. Now I am careful never to be without a bottle of the Syrup on herĝi, as I take a dose occasionally to counteract the ill effects of my sedentary occupation--for I am a boot-
maker by trade--and for this purpose I find it acts like charm,”
