HARMOSAN. Now the third and fatal cor.fiiet for tire Persian throne was done, And the Moslem's fiery valor had the .crowning victory won. Harcnosan, the last and boldest the invader to defy, Captive, overborne by numbers, they were bring ing forth to die. ?hen exclaimed that noble captive: "Lo, I perish in z\y thirst! Cive me but one drink of water and let then ar rive the worst!" In his hand he took the goblet, bnt awhile the draft forbore, Seeming doubtfully the purpose of the foeraan to explore. Well might then have paused thc bravest, for around him angry foes. With a hedge of naked weapons, did that lonely man inclose. "But what fear'st thou?" cried the caliph. "Is it, friend, a secret blow? Fear it not! Our gallant Moslems no such treach erous dealing know. "Thou may'st quench thy thirst securely, for thou shalt not die before " Thou hast drunk that cup of water. This reprieve is thine-no more!" Quick the satrap dashed the goblet down to earth with ready hand. And the liquid sank forever, lost amid thc burn ing sand. "Thou hast said that mine my life is till the wa ter of that cup I have drained. Then bid thy eorvant?' that spilled water gather up!" For a moment stood the caliph os bj- doubtful passions stirred, Then exclaimed: "Forever sacred must remain a monarch's word. "Bring another cup and straightway to the noble Persian give. Drink, I said before, and perish! Kow I bid thee drink and live!" -Richard Chene vix Trench. .--.A..-.A -.A. ...A-.A--.A.--.A.- ..

'-.A. -.A- ^A. ^ : The fires on the hills were the warn ing. The farmers were commandeered -that Is, every ablebodied man be tween 16 and 60 in the district was -called to take his horse, his "biltong" . or dried beef ration, his ride and am munition, and proceed at once to the rendezvous, thence to proceed against the fierce and warlike Zulus, who had again raided the Transvaal. Farmer Putter saddled up and hurried off, as his first duty was, bu^, first he called to him Piet, his son, and solemnly spoke to him. "Son of mine," said the farmer sol dier, "you are not yet man tall enough to face the Zulu impis in open field, but to your care I give mein vrouw and your little sister Greta and Pretorius, your brother. You must, if need be, play a man's part, for, since the two gold prospectors left the farm at the sign of war, there is none to take com mand of the Kaffir sen-ants but you." Then Piet said without bravado: "You may trust me, father, for, though I be not a man. still I am a Boer." So the farmer rode away, and Piet, thus promoted to command, withdrew into the sitting room, and almost at once his trouble began. His first care was to clean and load all firearms. These hung on the walls, and some were old fashioned and without am munition tu fit them. But Pict's eye, seeking his own pet light riiie, which j he had won in a shooting match against all boys of his age for many miles round, missed it. He was star tled, for it is almost criminal to meddle with another man's glory-h is rifle-and he sought Pretorius to see if that ambi tious youth had taken it down. Preto rius had it not, and Piet ran out to call Malula, a native servant, with sudden fear in his soul. Malula did not come ac the call, and Piet, with a pale face, thought for a moment, and then, taking his old gun and belt, leaped* bareback on a horse, without a word to alarm the family, and rode off unseen at a gallop. He rode to the cornfield, where the native laborers should have been working. The green corn waved in the wind de serted. Not a man was in sight. He dashed to the meadows down the val ley, where the herders should have been with the cattle. Here, in spite of himself, tears sprang to his eyes, for the cattle were gone, and the herders were absent. The great grassy fields were silent as were those of corn. "They have deserted us as soon as my father's back was turned," cried Piet in dismay. "And they were not Zulus! Can it be a general rising among the Kaffir tribes?" At that thought he trembled, but he had still vigor enough to ride to the top of a kopje near by. From the peak he had a view of much country, and saw a c.'uud of dust far away, which he guessed was made by the stolen cattle. "Never mind," said Plet; "if we beat tte Zulus, we shall get them back with interest." Then he dug his heels into his horse's ribs and dashed down the hillside. He had seen, half a mile away, a black fig ure moving swiftly across the veldt, and the sun glanced from something borne on its shoulder-a gun. Malula. Before the traitor servant was aware of pursuit, Piet was within 400 yards of him. Then the Kaffir heard the horse's hoofs and turned. For a mo ment the black seemed inclined to run but changed his mind as the boy shout ed to him angrily. Malula deliberately raised the stolen rifle to his shoulder. Piet threw himself from the horse as a bullet whistled over the vacant sad dle. The boy, already a hunter, replied, with but a'hasty glance through his sights, and Malula uttered a howl and Btaggered and fell to the ground struck in the chest. Piet felt a spasm of hor ror. Deer a-plenty had he shot, but never till now a mau. so that his heart for a flash stood still, and his own face was deathlike. He rode slowly up to Malula, and found the Kaffir writhing in a death agony. Piet again dismount ed, and attempted to offer aid, but the savage repulsed him. With a look of hate he glared at the boy, and cried iu his own tongue: ' 'T am one, but tonight come the Zulus, and no white thing on the farm shall live. For mine there shall be ten deaths!" So he died, glorying in the hope o speedy revenge, and the Boer boy, le; I ing him, recovered his new ride a j rode slowly and mournfully homewa Here his troubled mather met him. "Piet," she said, "the Kaffirs ha left us." "I know," said he, and looked ii her brave face, and told her what h happened and what Malula had said the nearness of the Zulus. "If my father had known it," S? her son, "he would not have left us.' "He was commandeered," said t Boer wife. "It was his duty. Count first-always, my son." "But," said Piet, in much perturl tion, "my father did not think t blacks would fly. He thought that thc Basutos, would fight their old eneir the Zulus. If these come, what are y to do? Shall we leave the farm ai trek to Van Boevon's?" The Boer mother pressed her li with a frown of pride. "That was not well said, my soc she answered. "Oom Putter said 'Sta; As he obeyed his general and went, we shall obey him and stay and fig till he comes." It was a Roman speech. Even as tl words came from her mouth si looked round and saw Piet, a wc grown boy of 15 years; Greta, a chi I of ll; little Pretorius, and the baby goodly garrison to defend the heart: But she saw that hearth, she saw tl dear walls her husband had built . bring her home as a bride, she saw tl fields he had tilled and the barns 1 had raised, and seeing them she woul have fought to the last scratch of h< nails, like a wildcat, rather than gn them up. "Besides," said she hopefully, "whi could the wretch Malula know that w don't? The Zulus cannot be near, an if they are, the farmers have out the scouts, and they say the English froi Natal are also ready. Before they reac our farm the Boers must meet then and surely the savage shall be strict en." Nothing more was said about deser ing the homestead. Vrouw Putter wer her work quietly, but Piet began t prepare. Now, the farmhouse wa roomy and the garrison a most prett one, and, puzzle over the matter as h might, the boy could not see how it rough stone walls could be protected a once on all sides if the attacking fore was to be a large one. His inothe was about as good a shot as he, am even Greta could discharge a gun at ? pinch, but two or three guns could no protect so rambling a building. Pie came to that conclusion with a feeling akin for a moment to despair, until, a last, as he stood in the broad yard look lng at the house, the chickens cami clucking about him in their search fo: food, and he had an idea. All day he worked busily, leaving his mother to the children, and bj nightfall he had prepared a fort t( withstand a siege. Two or three times during the afternoon be had slippet off to the top of the kopje, where hi could look afar, but each time he cam( back, having seen nothing but the roll ing veldt. They had supper, and agaic Piet slipped away and came back, bul now with a grim face. "Mother," he whispered, "from thc west I heard the war song c? the Zulus. It came faintly with the wind. In the direction also of Van Boeven's farm the skies are red and if I go at dark I fear I shall see the flames rising from his bams." The mother gathered her baby tight in her arms for a moment, and then quietly asked her eldest: "Are the guns cleaned and loaded?" "Yes," said Piet, "and, mother, if you approve, we must leave the house. It is too big and rambling for us two to protect." "Leave the house?" "Not very far," said Piet and explain ed. In that land of few dwellers space is not of much consideration. The farm buildings were quite widely scattered, and Farmer Putter had built his cow byres and pigpens and so on a proper distance away from his house walls. All the afternoon Piet had been march ing, laden with packages and bundles, between the house and the outbuild ings. Now, when it was dark, he put out all the lights of the house, and the windows and doors were Etoutly bar red. "Where are we going to sleep?" the children asked, accustomed to rise and He down with the sun, and Piet an swered cheerfully, "In the chicken coop." The children, at first astonished and incredulous, were delighted when they discovered that their brother meant what he said, for the sight of the chickens feeding had given the boy the necessary idea. If the house were too big, the coop could not be accused of that fault. About the rocky kopje stones were plentiful and more conven ient than wood. Therefore, Piet had aid ed his father in building a solid affair to shelter the many fowls. It was stone and high and roomy. Piet, dur ing the afternoon, had made on each side, by careful removal of stones, loopholes and carried to the henhouse the more precious articles in the house, with all thc ammunition and guns. Now the chickens, squawking, were ruthlessly turned out, and the little family went in, the youngsters gig gling. The door, which Piet had strengthened, was closed, and the garri son prepared. Vrouw Putter was not without experience in war's alarms. She looked round with a brave smile. "Well, done, Piet," she said, and calmly.began to examine the guns, while at the same time quieting the children, who, now in the dark and dis turbed by such preparations, began to be afraid. Again Pict slipped away to the kopje, and when he came back he said, "Flames are rising from the Van Boevens', and the war song is coming near." "Loud!" the vrouw asked briefly. "Not very," her son answered, piling rocks against the door. "A detached parly," said his mother quietly. "If the Lord wills it, we will protect our own." And she made them all kneel down and pray and then sing a psalm. ******* It was a fitfully moonlight night In the dry season and chilly. White clouds pursued the moon after hiding lt and leaving the veldt in darkness, then passing on and flooding the land with silvery beams. For a long time all was very still. At last Piet, peering out of his loophole to the west, saw a shadow ?ate--- .. ? ?. .. ._. . among tue shadows, and tins snaci I moved and glided, and came swiftly the slope on which the chicken C( stood between the house and the tr by the river. It was followed by ; other, and another, and another, a another, coming ou like wild ducks a V or wedge, aud from the heart thc shadows came a low hum-tho sc of thc impis. "How many?" the mother asked, the moon shone out, and Pict told 1 there wore about 20, with shields a assagais, for in those days brear: were not common among the Kai tribes as now. "A raiding party," said Vrouw P ter, aud took command. Pict was cac to fire at once, but she forbade. T children were very quiet, though ire hiing. The savages came ou and ha ed, and came ou again, now sileut a apparently puzzled at there being sign of lifo about the house. As t coop stood it could not bc readily d cerned in tho shadow of the sloi Again thc Zulus advanced. "Mother," said Pict, "if they got clo to the house they will lire it." She nodded, but waited until thc sa ages were only GO yai^? away then "Fire!" she whispered, and from b own loophole and from Pict's at ti same iustant streamed a flame, aud ti Zulus gave one great cry of rage ai astonishment, as two of their numb threw their arms high and fell, thc shields clattering beside them. At on little Greta aud Pretorius did their pai and with incredible bravery in such i fants forbore even to tremble, bi handed up fresh guns, while thc tv defouders passed the empty ones dow to be loaded by these small but traine fingers. The Zulus, however, did n< fall back. Furious at being taken I surprise they dashed at the little for and a shower of spears came clashir against thc stone walls. Crack! agai went the guns, and again a howl ( pain resounded through the night. Tl: Zulus were almost in touch of the for and were pressing onward, oue on to of the other, with their ferocious yell: when a tall man among them with a iron riug on his head, sign of an indun chief, shouted a command aud at one his warriors fell back. "Mother," cried Pict, as they seize fresh rifles, "don't let them think tba we are so few. Greta and Pretorlui load as fast as you can. Mother, let u fire continuously and, thinking we ar numerous, they will retire." Vrouw Putter nodded consent, am at once these two valiant defenders o hearth and home began from the hal dozen firearms at their disposal to pou bullets into the retreating crowd o naked blacks. They could not tell wha actual effect their missiles had, sav< for an occasional cry from the war riors, but they hoped that so quick ant withering a fire would deceive the par ty. lu this manner, however, thej used up a good deal of ammunitiot from the two boxes of cartridges Pie' had carried to the chicken coop. With hardly a pause, the induna gave his savages their instructions, and sud denly they ran apart from one auothei in the moonlight and surrounded thc henhouse and came at it from three sides. Now, indeed, the besieged were hard put to it, but never quailed. Greta took the lightest rifle and, little girl though she'was, her father and brother and even her mother had taught her to use it. She took position, a white faced heroine, at one side, and her mother and Piet in t&eir old places. Down came the Zulus, casting spears before them, and sheltered by their long, tough bullhide shields. Crack! crack! crack! swiftly thc rifles rang out, and still the Zulus rushed on. Thc fingers of little Pretorius were busy on the floor of the hut, loading the rides now getting hot. Crack! crack! The savages reached the wall; one scrambled to thc roof; he thrust a spear down a crack. Thc Boer's wife cried out; her shoulder was pierced. Put Pict's voice was tri umphant, as o yell came from tho in duna himself. "I aimed for the chief and got him!" cried the boy. and indeed tho induna seemed badly hurt, for he limped back, supported, and again called off his soldiers. Pict ran to his mother and helped her bandage the wounded arm. "It is nothing." she said bravely, and added more softly, "nor my life, either, if children and home are saved." Suddenly little Pretorius cried out in dismay. "Pict," he said, "there are no more cartridges!" It was true. Ono box was empty, and the other covered box did not hold am munition. Pict looked and despaired. Two gold prospectors had been staying at thc farm who used dynamite in their work. They had gone off at sign of trouble, but had left some tools and things behind. In this box which Piet had carried off for nmmuuition were instead some sticks of dynamite. "I - have - betrayed - my father's trust!" cried Piet. "My mistake has been our ruin!" And he fluug himself In despair against the wall. But his mother, rind ing nothing but empty guns, kneeled quietly down and prayed, her babies about her. She had done all she could. The rest lay with a higher power. For a moment Pict was crazy, and then recovered himself. Ile looked through his loophole. The Zulus were In a group quite a hundred yards away, almost indistinguishable in the night. Even as Pict looked they moved and he knew they were about to attack again. With a shout of rage the furious boy suddenly stooped to the dangerous box he had carried from the house, and then threw down the rocks from the door and burst out. In his hands ho carried two sticks of dynamite, carried such deadly things in his bands that a stumble meant destruction. Yet ho dashed ahead through the night yell ing. The Zulus turned on him in amaze, thinking him mad, and greeted him with a shower of spears. Uiistrickcn, Pict ran to within HU yards of them, and then, one after the other, he threw at them with au his might the dyna mite. There was a fearful concussion, which dashed the boy to the carib, a roar as of artillery, a medley ot fearful j shrieks from tho unhappy Zulus, and J all was still. Vrouw Putter and the ! children caine out trembling, and found j Pict insensible, but of thc Zulu raiders no trace, save scattered limbs, where i the earth was thrown about, leaving a great hole. The dynamite must have struck fairly In their midst and had ex- j ploded with fearful effects. That happened long ago. Pict Is to dav a man and owns the farm.

"Speaking ol' deer shooting.'" said thi1 local enthusiast, "reminds me of the story of the man up Bethel way. fie had a pulmonary trouble that had re duced him somewhat, and he was doubtful if ?ns strength would permit him to make the journey. Ills physi cian told him to go ahead, but not to tramp much. In camp, where he ar rived much exhausted, his friends told him to make himself comfortable while they went out and got him some veni son. "ile sat about camp alone until about 10 o'clock and then went in and took his rifle out into the open. Here he sat down on a log aud thought of his unhappy fate. Thc sun was warm and bright, and he moved out into it, rest ing his rifle against the stump of a pine. Ho then lit his pipe and rumi nated. A rustle in the brush aroused him. Looking up, he savv a buck, with branching horns, about. 40 yards away. He reached over without moving from his seat, took the rifle, rested it on a prong of the stump, drew a bead on the deer and fired, and the buck fell dead. "When the hunters who went out after venison for the invalid came home, he said, 'What luck?' 'Oh, we'll have deer meat for you before we go home. Didn't get any today, but we saw signs.' 'How's this for a sign?' said the invalid, and lie led them up to a GOO pound buck, and they broke the profound silence to remark, 'Well, I'll be darned.' "-Lewiston Journal. A Question of Kinship. General Hickenlooper and his fam ily make the evening dinner a source of mental as well as of physical nutri tion, in which exercise the general has usually the best of it by presenting puzzling and difficult problems. The other evening the youngsters turned thc tables upon him by presenting the following legal proposition: A French beggar died and left one child, a son, and a considerable estate. Thc son, in order to inherit the estate, was required to prove a kinship to the deceased. What kinship did he prove? The general promptly replied the kin ship of father and son. The children said the answer was wrong; the parent was a woman. This tickled the general, and be decided to pass it along, so the next day. while taking lunciteon with a friend, he pro pounded the following;.
