HARMOSAN. Kow the third and fatal conflict (or the Pordia throne waa done, And the Moslem's Bery valor had the crowning victory won. Ilannosan, the hist and boldest the invader to defy, Captive, overborne hy numbers, they were bring ing forth to die. ilien exclaimed that noble captive: "Lo, I perish in my thirst! Cive me but one drink of water and let then ar rive the worstt" In bia hand ha took the goblet, but awhile the draft forbore, Seeming doubtfully the purpose cf thc focian to explore. Well might then have paused the bravest, for around Lim angry foes, With a hedge of naked weapons, did that lonely mau inclose. "Dut what fear'st th^u:" cried the caliph. "Is it, friend, a scent blow? Fear it not! Our gallant Moslems no such treach erous dealing kuow. "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 thc liquid sank forever, lost amid thc burn ing sand. "Thou hast said that mino ray life is till the wa ter of that cup I have drained. Then bid thy servants that spilled water gather up!" For a moment stood the caliph as by doubtful passions stirred, Then exclaimed: "Forever sacred must remain a monarch's word. "Dring another cup and straightway to the noble Persian give.

IK A WOMAN'S FIGHT ft ft WITH ZULUS, ft - : : An Incident of Hoer Ufo in the ^? Transvaal. ^ ^ By P. "Z". BLACK. ^ i ?..A.-.A.--.A-.A.-.A.-- A.-.A.-4> ; ......?......?......?......?......?......w....'V..-' The fires on the bills were the warn ing. The farmers were commandeered -that is, every ablebodied man be tween 10 and CO in the district was called to take his horse, his "biltong" or dried beef ration, his ride and am munition, and proceed nt once to the rendezvous, thence to proceed against thc fierce and warlike Zulus, who had again raided the Transvaal. Farmer Putter saddled up and hurried off, na his first duty was, but first he called to him Pict, 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 servants but you." Then Piet said wdthout 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 to lit them. But Piet's eye, seeking his own pet light rifle, which he had won in a shooting match against all boys of his age for ninny miles round, missed it. Ile was star tled, for it Is almost crimine' to meddle with another man's glory-his rifle-and he sought Pretorius to see if that ambi tious youth had taken lt down. Preto rius had it not, and Piet ran put to call Malula, a native servant, with sudden fear in his soul. Mal ul a did not come at 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. Ho rode to thc 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 wai 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 bad still vigor enough to ride to the top of a kopje near by. From the peak he bad a view of much country, and saw a cloud of dust far away, which he guessed was made by the stolen cattle. "Never mind," said Piet; "If we beat the Zulus, we shall get them back with interest." Then he dug his heels into his horse's ribs and dashed down the hillside. He bad seen, half a mlle away, a black fig ure moving swiftly across the veldt, and the son 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 hlvt* *2;jri?y. Malula ??..?^rstei; ' raised the stolen rifle to his shoulder. Piet threw himself from the horse as a bullet whistled over the vacant sad dle. The hoy, already a hunter, replied, with but ifrhasty glance through his eights, and Malula uttered a howl and staggered 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 man, 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. Plot again dismount ed, and attempted to offer aid, hut the savage repulsed him. With a look of hate he glared at the boy, and erled in his own tongue: ' *I amone, but tonight come the Zulus, and no white thing on the farm shall live. For mina there shall fae ten deaths!" J So lie dlodj glorying lu the hope of n speedy revenge, and the Boer boy. leav ing bini, recovered his new rille and rode slowly and mournfully homeward. Here his troubled inojther met him. "Pict," she said, "the Kaffirs have left us." "I know," said he, and looked luto her brave face, and told her what bad happened and what Malula had said of the nearness of the Zulus. "If my father had known It," said her son, "he would not have left us." "Ho was commandeered," said the Boer wife. "It was his duty. Country first-always, my sou." "But," said Piet, In nundi perturba tion, "my father did not think tho blacks would Hy. Ho thought that they, Basntos, would tight their old enemy, the Zulus. If these come, what arc we to do? Shall we leave the farm and trek to Van Boevon'sV The Boer mother pressed her Hps with a fro,vu of pride. "That was not well said, my son," she answered. "Oom Putter said 'Stay.' As he obeyed his general and went, so we shall obey bim and stay and light till he conies." It wa ; a Kornau speech. Even ns the words caine from her mouth she looked round and saw Pict, a well grown boy of IS years; Greta, a child of ll; little Pretorius. and the baby-a goodly garrison to defend the hearth! But she saw that hearth, shu saw the dear walls her husband had built to bring her home as a bride, she saw the fields he had tilled and the barns he lind raised, and seeing them she would have fought to thc last scratch of her nails, Uko a wildcat, rather than give them up. "Besides," said she hopefully, "what could the wretch Malula know that we don't? The Zulus cannot be near, and if they are, the farmers have out their scouts, and they say tho English from Natal are also ready. Before they reach our farm the Boers must meet them, and surely the savage shall bc strick en." Nothing moro was sal " about desert ing tho homestead. Vrouw Putter went her work quietly, but Piet began to prepare. Now. the farmhouse was roomy and the garrison a most pretty one, and, puzzle over the matter as he might, the boy could not see how Its rough stoue walls could be protected at once on nil sides if the attacking force was to be a large one. His motlier was about as good a shot ns he, and even Greta could discharge a gun at a pinch, but two or three guns could not protect so rambling a building. Pict came to that conclusion with a feeling akin for a moment to despair, until, at last, ns he stood lu the broad yard look ing nt the house, the chickens came clucking about him in their search for food, and he had au idea. All day he worked busily, leaving his mother to the children, and by nightfall he had prepared a fort to withstand a siege. Two or three tlmea during the afternoon he had slipped off to tie top of the kopje, where he could look afar, but each time be caine back, having seen nothing but the roll ing veldt. They had supper, and again Pict slipped away and came back, but now with a grim face. "Mother," he whispered, "from the west I heard the war song of the Zulus. It came faintly with the wdnd. 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 bis barns." 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 cxplaln ! 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 bad been march ing, laden with packages and bundles between the house and the outbuild ings. Now, when lt was dark, he pul out all the lights of the bouse, and thc windows and doors were etoutly bar red. "Where are we going to sleep?" thc children risked, accustomed to rise une He down with the sun, and Pict nn swered cheerfully, "In the chickei coop." The children, at first astonished am incredulous, were delighted when thej discovered that their brother mean what he said, for the sight of th? chickens feeding had given the boy thi necessary Idea. If the house were to< big, the coop could not be accused o: that fault. About the rocky kopji stones were plentiful and more conven lent than wood. Therefore, Piet had aid ed his father in building a solid affal to shelter the many fowls. It wai stone and high and roomy. Piet, dur lng the afternoon, had made on eacl side, by careful removal of stones loopholes and carried to the henhousi the more precious articles in the house with all the ammunition and guns Now the chickens, squawking, wer ruthlessly turned out, and the llttl family went In, the youngsters gig gling. The door, which Piet hat strengthened, was closed, and the garr? son prepared. Vrouw Putter was no without experience In war's alarms She looked round with a brave smile. "Well, done, Piet," she said, ant calmly,began to examine the gune while at the same time quieting th children, who, now In the dark and dla tnrbed by such prcp?ratlunn. lipgnn t, DO afraid. Again Piet slipped away t the kopje, and when he came back h said, "Flames are rising from the Vai BoevenB*, and the war song is comini near." "Loud!" the vrouw asked briefly. "Not very," her son answered, pllin rocks against the door. "A detached patty," said hts mothe quietly. "If the Lord wills it, we wll protect our own." And she made them all kneel dow and pray and then sing a psalm. . . . . . . . m It was a fitfully moonlight night 1 the dry season and chilly. White cloud pursued the moon after hiding lt an leaving the veldt in darkness, the passing on and flooding the land wit silvery beams. For a long time all wa I very still. At last Piet, peering ont c his loophole, to the west, saw a shadow among tue shadows, and tins snauow moved and glided, and caine swiftly up the slope mi which the chicken coop stood between thc house and the trees by the river. It was followed by an other, and auothcr, and another, nud another, coming on like wild ducks lu a V or wedge, and from the heart of the shadows came a low hum-the song of the impls. "How many?" the mother asked, as j the moon shone out. ami riot told her ! there were about 20, with shields and assagais, for In those days firearms ! were not common among the KatUr tribes as now. "A raiding party," said Vrouw rut ter, and took command. Piet waa eager to lire at once, but she forbad*4. The children were very quiet, though trem- I hiing. The savages caine on ami halt ed, and came on again, now silent ami apparently puzzled at there being no sign of lifo about the house. As the coop stood it could not bc readily dis cerned in the shallow of the slope. Again the Zulus advanced. "Mother," sahl Pict, "if they get close j to the house tin y will lire it." She nodded, but waited until the sav ages were only 50 yards away then- I "Fire!" she whispered, and from her? own loophole and from Pict's at the same Instant streamed a Haine, and the Zulus gave one great cry of rage and astonishment, as two of their number threw their erins high, and fell, their shields clattering beside them. At once little Greta and Pre tor lus did their part, and with incredible bravery in such in fants forbore even to tremble, but handed up fresh guns, while the two defenders passed the empty ones down to bc loaded by these small but trained fingers. Thc Zulus, however, did not fall hack. Furious at being taken by surprise they dnshed at thc little fort, and a shower of spears came clashing against the stone walls. Crack! again went the guns, and again a howl of pain resounded through the night. The Zulus were almost in touch of thc fort. aa? were pressing onward, one on top of thc other, with their ferocious yells, when a tall man among them with an iron ring on his head, sign of an induna chief, shouted a command nud at once his warriors fell back. "Mother," cried Piet, as they seized fresh rifles, "don't let them think that we are so few. Greta and Pretorios, load as fast ns you can. Mother, let us fire continuously and, thinking we arc numerous, they will retire." Vrouw Putter nodded consent, and at once these two valiant defenders of hearth and home began from the half dozen firearms at their disposal to pour bullets Into the retreating crowd of naked blacks. They could not tell what actual effect their missiles had. save for an occasional er j' from the war riors, but they hoped that so quick ami withering a lire would deceive the par ty, lu this manner, however, they used up a good deal of ammunition from the two boxes of cartridges Pie.t. had carried to the chicken coop. With hardly a pause, ibo induna gave his savages their instructions, and sud denly they ran apart from one another in the moonlight and surrounded the henhouse and came at it from three sides. Now, indeed, the besieged were hard put to it, but never quailed. Greta took tho 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, nt one side, and her mother and Plot in t^jclr old places. Down came the Zulus, casting spears before them, and sheltered by their long, tough bullhide shields. Crack! crack! crack! swiftly the rifles rang out, and stiii the Zulus rushed on. Tho fingers of little Pretorlus were busy on the floor of the hut, loading the rifles now getting hot. Crack! crack! The savages reached the wall; one scrambled to the roof; he thrust a spear down a crack. The Boor's wife cried out; her shoulder was pierced. But Pict's voice was tri umphant, as a yell came from the in duna himself. "I aimed for the chief and got him!" cried the boy, and indeed the induna seemed badly hurt, for he limped back, supported, and again called off his soldiers. Plet ran to his mother and helped her bandage the wounded arm. "It ls nothing," she said bravely, and added moro softly, "nor my life, either, If children and home are saved." Suddenly little Pretorlus cried ont In dismay. "Plet," he said, "there are no more cartridges!" It was true. One box was empty, and the other covered box did not hold am munition. Plot looked and despaired. Two gold prospectors had been staying at the 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 Plot had carried off for ammunition were Instead some sticks of dynamite. "I - have - betrayed - my father's trust!" cried Plet. "My mistake has been our ruin!" And he flung himself In despair against the wall. But his mother, find ing nothing but empty guns, kneeled 'quietly down and prayed, ber babies about her. She had done all she could. The rest lay with a higher power. For a moment Piet was crazy, and then recovered himself. He looked through bis loophole. The Zulus were in a group quite a hundred yards away, almost Indistinguishable in the night. Even ns Piet 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 thc house, and then threw down the rocks from the door and burst out. In lils hands he carried two sticks of dynamite, rnrrim-i eucn deadly things In his hands 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. Unstrlcken, Plet ran to within 50 yards of them, and then, one after the other, he threw at them with all bis might the dyna mite. There was a fearful concussion, which dashed the boy to the earth, a roar as of artillery, a medley ot fearful shrieks from the unhappy Zulus, and all was still. Vrouw Putter and the children came out trembling, and found Piet Insensible, but of the Zulu raiders no trace, save scattered limbs, where thc- earth was thrown about, leaving a great hole. The dynamite must have struck fairly in their midst and had ex ploded with fearful off octa. That happened long ago. Piet ls to day a man and owns the farm.
