THE I3OY-IiE1tO Ole Oifl OY,
The English army moved rapidly
forward and northward toward Oandie,
conquering everything on its way, till,
when in the neighborhood of Crecy, the
intelligence'caine that the French king,
Philip, with an army of twenty thou-
sand men and all the cavalry of France,
had come beteeen it and the sea,
Therewas no retreat passible. Edward
had but thirty thousand to repose this
great host. There were two to one.

taat•ay^to to good position, and there be
audited the onset. No oue will doubt
that ho was anxious enough, and yet
H h at'd (1 he do? After arranging his
troops iu battle order, three battalions
beep, he sent young Edward, his sun,
to the front with as group at his finest
barons to take the brunt of the terrible
charge to corse.
Ed ward made it a point of (arty to
keep out of the battle altogether. ITe
was nowhere to he seen. k.ie went iu
to ;a tl iudrurll on a height near by, end
and watched the fight through one 01
the narrow uiu(laws in its upper story.
Ho would not oven put on his helmet.
Toat is the way the father stood by
his son—by showing absolute oonfi
deuce in him, and denying hiruaelf all
the glory that, alight come from a great
and ilnportaet battle. And the young
fellow was a thousandfold nerved and
strengthened by knowing that his fath-
er fully trusted in him.
1 need not give the details of the
battle. It is sufficient to know that the
first line of the French chivalry eharg•
ed with the utmost fury.
Among these was John, king of Bo -
hernia, who with his barons sun knights
was now behind au& in the deadly on-
set; and yet his king'was old and blind.
He reradd have his stroke in the battle,
and 11e plunged into it with his horse
tied by its reins to one of his ].night's
on either side. A plum ;of three a ost-
rich feathers waved from his helanet,
and thelchroni:dors say he laid about
him well. :After the battle, hit
two companions were foundWdead, with
their hor'es tied togother.
But altiroua:3h the French were brave
they were not wise. For nut only had
they brunght on the fight with head
long energy before they were prepared;
but they h:a(1 allowed Edward to place
himself so that the afternoon sun, tbet,
near its setting, blazed full iu their
eyes and Nees. E lward's army fought
iu the shallow. The terrible Eugtisl.•
bowmen sent their deadly cloth -yard
arrows so thick and fast into the dazzl
ed and crowded ranks of fifteen thou
sand Genoese archers and the inter.
min.;letl meo•at-artns, that the missile✓•
filled the air like snow. The Genoesc
worn thrown Into confioinn, and t hi.
spread throughout the whole French
amity. The French icing, with some of
Inc dukes, flew foaming over the field,
trying in vain to get np in time to swell
the onset upon the English front.
But the onset had proved heard
enough as it 'rad. The ltnightslaarntincl
they:mug prince were frightened for
his safety. Ouo of then, Sir '.hamar
ofNorcv'ch, was sent back to Edward
to ;ask hila to come to the assistance of
the prince.
"Sir Thomas," said the ping, is my
sen detadfor unhorsed, or so wounded
that he cannot help himself ?"
"Nat so, my „lord, thank God ; but
he is fighting against great odds, and
is like to have need of your help,"
"Sir Thomas," said the king, "re-
turn to them who sent you, and telt
them for are not to send for tae, what-
ever chance befall thorn, so long es my
son is olive, and tell them that I bid
then'; let the lad win his:spurs for I
swish, if God ,80 desire, that the day
should he his, land the honor thereof
remain to hien and to thorn to wtrum I
have given hint in charge,"
And there he stayed in the i�indmill
till the battle was over, Soon the :cry.
of victory reached him as the French
fled in Lite darkness, leaving their &ad
,strewn upon the field: Now the young
ptince appeared covered, with all the
glory that his rather had coveted for
him, bearing the ostrich pinata which
he had taken from the dead king of Tao

]IOW TITE ZULUS FIGHT..
Zulus prefer and strive to throw
themselves in overwhelming numbers
on the weariest point of the enemy.
With d t.uutleas courage and fnry of
tigers they rusts on, without the least
concern for the hundreds falling in
their ranks, or the bodies barring their
way ; they press on to got close quar-
ters as speedily as possible, looking nei-
ther to the right nor left, nor dreaul•
ing of hiding for a moment behind
stokes or birches. They ehtu•ge forward,
for this reason preferriue the open Reid,
Naturally courageous and vain of thele
prowess, they firmly believe that they
need only follow the atiove mentioned
radius and they mast win. As for the I
loss they suffer in thus advancing in
great nulubers, they are indifferent to
it, for the reason that they are so ao•
custotned to slaughter as one of their
daily customs that the sight of their'
comrades fulling in all direction✓, has
no effect upon them. These men are
ruled by a savage despot. They are
trained as soldiers all their lives in regi-
ments, properly oflcere:I. all, in fact,
in correct military style, as nearly as
they can follow it. When ranged in
order cf battle, erteh man holds his gun
in his right _Hand, a small shield is
strung round his left arm, and in his
baud he holds a long and apart asse-
gai. Their skill with the gun being
anything but great, they content them•
selves by beginning the attack v.ith a
couple of volleys. The gun is then
thrown down, and they run upon their
opponents in n dense mass, taping the
long assegai in the right .hand. At
about fifty or sixty paces they parse in
ther headlong career,au(1 hundreds and
thousands of spears are hurled at the
enemy. Then the short assegai is talc•
in the right hand, and the charge is to -
aimed. When within a few yards of
the enemy they make one momentary i
pause, only to snap the assegai off'
across the left knee, and their favorite
hand-to-hand conflict ensues. Thin
the fight becomes a slaughter.
HOW A LITTLE GIRL CAPTURED
A BIG RATT'LESNAILLi'.
Zoe Marceau is a girl of seventeen,
of mixed blood, beautiful and bold.
Her mother, now dead, was the (laugh.
ler of a French Canadian. The fatui-
