the dwelling was said to be haunted..
•Where there is a ghost:, there must
ale a ghost spry, and. elle tale connect-
ed with the inension taken by my
friend Grimm was so odd, and absurd
that I feel obligedi to tell it in as few
words as possible.
.A certain diplomat connected with
the German, or perhaps the Austrian,
Einbasey, as a second. or third secre-,
t any, had been appointed to his place
through the influence of certain noble
relatives at hoine who were anxious to
get rid of him. , He Was the sort of
man who, in an earlier age, would
have pursued the comparatively lucra-
tive profession of a robber baron, and
'would have done wellat it, but in
thee later days he was a failure, and,
while evincing a decidedly predatory
iholinatiun, was eventually reduced to
.berrowing money wherewith to main-
-a:eta himself. ,
Under these circunastanoes, it is not
surprising that, his influential kinfolk
:should have been glad to see him pro -
aided with profitable employment in a
foreign land.
Being poseessed of a title, an aristo-
rane manner aid a superb mustache,
much waxeci at the ends, this high-
born adventurer had no difficulty in
.secering• a wealthy bride:
The next step was to get rid a her,
with a. view to obtaining possession uf
the fortune which he, had persuaded
her to leave to him, by will, and this he
.accomplished by holding her head an -
der water in the bath.
The occurrence was attributed to a
Lit, and nobody thought a suspecting
the robber baron, who span afterward
•left for his netive country, having eon-
verted hiswife's estate into ready
' money.
' (This is the story of the origin of the
. ghost, as it was told to me. For my
own part, I considered it. whollynon-
sensical, and was surprised to find
that min eriend Green's daughters,
Agnes and Katherine, believed in it
thoroughly. Anyhow, the mansion, as
I' have said, was rented astonishingly
cheap by reason of the ghost, and to
the latter on this account the Greens
had every reason to feel indebted.

me that the room allotted to me, en

eulia.r kind of a "haunt," judging from
their description, though it ought to
be explained that none of them had
ever seen it, or heard, it or felt it,
.The account of it, indeed, came to
theme from other soerces—from peo-
ple who' knew the fanaily whichhad
once inhabited the dwelling. None of
the Greens had ever dared to oecupy
the room. :They' were kind enough to

ben so imprudent as to present

would have a shot at it.
It must have been not long after
midnight when I suddenly became —I
dealt esnow why—as wide awake as
ever I was in my lift. Perhaps
withotit my being oonscious of it, the
gliast was in my naind. At all events,
it divas the first thing I :thought eof,
and I begen to recall. the description
of it which had, been given to me.
I looked toward the foot of the bed,,
half -expecting, though my gooat sense
repuda.teci the notion, that something
might happen.

came down of "More ammunition for
the Dorsets," says a writer in: Mao-
millan's Magazine. The message was
fleshed down accordingly, and soon
three ammunition mules appeared at
the foot of the steep climb about half
a mile below us, where the traek skirt-
ed the side of a very precipitous hill.
The leading mule came to a very bad
bit of path, did not like the look of it,
jibiaea, backed, got his hind legs over
the edge: melte frantic efforts to re-
cover his footing, was dragged down
by the weight of the ammunition boxes
and rolled over and. over down out of
sight. The second mule promptly fol-
lowed his example, deliberately and
without any fuss, uearly dragging a
driver clown with hi. Transport offi-
cers and others familiar with the ways
of the mule will tell you that iustances.
are net uncommon when mules, weary
of carrying heavy ioaas over frightful
tracks, grow sick of life, and purposely
commit suicide over the nearest peed-
pice. This looked remarkably like, an
insLance of it. The third beast, which,
by the way, was not a mule, but a
long-legged weed of a pony, let itself
be coaxed along a little further, then
took fright, reared up cleee to the
edge, fell backward and went down
HEAD OVER EIF,ELS,
after tbe mules, with the last of the
Dorsets' reserv'e amtauTetion. Incred-
ible as IL may appear, both the mules
were got up subsequently, little the
worse for their fall, nor was any of
the ammunition on this occasion len
as a present for the enemy.
Shortly after this A Company of the
Derbys, under Captain Menzies, and. 0,
wader Maj. Wylly, were ordered to re-
lieve the Dorsets in the firing line, cov-
ering the advance or attempted ad-
-
vanes through the gap. "They have
our range all right," said the Dorset
officer whom Captain Menzies reliev-
ed, as he showed him a bullet hole
through his helmet. Any man expos-
ing himself for one -moment there was
immediately fired at, while the Afridis
above had made so excellent a use of
cover that not a man'among them was
visible, the smoke of their rifles offer-
ing the only guide for 'the direceion of
our 'fire._ Neat 13, D and E companies
were ordered 111). to the gap. 13, had
marched out of °a.m.]) in the rear of
the battalion, an.d E -immediately pre-
ceded them. (This order had been
maintained throughout, so that D
went up first, followed at intervals by
E and B.
As these companies scrambled up to
reach the point where the slope lessen-
ed, fifty yards or so beneath the kap,
they came within view, for the first
time at close quarters, of the enemy's
position and of the state of things at
the gap. Right opposite, only three
hundred and fifty yards away, rose a
line of almost sheer cliff tour hundred
feet ab.ove us, lined for a length of
some four hundred yards with an in-
visible enemy whose rifles and jezails,
mostly rifles, were all
, LEVELLED AT THE GAP.
teway to our right., out of sight from
this spot, the cliff took a sharp turn
backward and became less precipitous,
and it was round tbis turn that the
track eventually followed Jed to the
top. The gap itself, formed by the
watercourse narrowing to a funnel end
at thenop, was bounded on the left by
a large perpendicular piece of rook,
and on the right by a jagged, stony
cre.st-withan impossible descent on the
further side. But the most hopeless
part of the whole thing was the fright-
ful block in the gap. There must
hese been some three hundred or four
hundred ruen jammed together there,
several wounded among tnem. Right
in the mouth ot the gap, and plastered
against the rock on the. left, squatted
a nunaber of Gurkhas, officerless, dog-
ged and sullen, thirsting to revenge
the slaughter of their comrades.
WINNING A VICTORIA CROSS.
The heroism of Colonel Travers's gal-
lant regiment, who bore the brunt of
the first assault and suffered more
heavily than any other regiment en-
gage.d, had not been so generally re-
cognized as it deserved. Immediately
behind them, completing the block,
was a mass of Dorsels. So detisely
packed were all these men, and so 'en-
cumbered with wounded, that, until a
line through them was cleared, as was
done for the Gordons, it was only pos-
sible far any fresh troops to elbow a
way througla slowly one by one, and
the continuous stream necessary to
eerry tbe place with a rush, the only
chance of success, was then a physical
impossibility. Nevertheless Captain
Smith, who eommanded D Company,
the first of ours to come up, folioed
bis way through the mass, and, follow-
ed by his subaltern Pennell and three
or four more men of the company who
managed to struggle through at thort
intervals, made a dash across; the gap
into the open, und_er a murderous hail
of bullets. Before he bad gone more
titian a few yards he fell, shot through
elle heads and then men betted him
were mowed down, Private Dunn be -
in gkilled on the spot and Private Pone -
berth mortally wounded. Pennell, not
knowing his caatain was dead, won a
Vic Leda CrOaS by making gallant: ef-
forts to carry hire back under cover.
He got him some way witb diffieulty,
and seeing some men lying on the
groued, called to them to assist. No
answer ceme at first, 'until a man of
the Dorsets lifted his head: and answer-
ed, ""tVe are all 'wounded, sir, except
those that are dead," Then Seeing
that it was hopelese, he placed, poor

for unknewn reasons, although his
name, with those of other officers, was
brought forward, never was even men-
tioned in dispatches.
Men grew diseeartened, Stich fire
could be faced no more. There was a
dreadful pause for a full half hour,
during whioh Hie attack steed still. A
neeseage was flashed down to General
Biggs that the troops Could not ad-
vance. The engage nnt had lasted
now four hours and suceess seemed no
nearer than at the beginning.. The
assault so far had failed, and failed
complebely. It was 2 o'cloals ; none of
the second division had. adveneed a
step beyond tb.e Kotal toward,Khor-
appa, and things looked remarkably
ugly.
"THE GORDONS WILL TAKE IT."
But the time and tbe erten were now
at hand. More than an hour before the
Gordons had been ordered up from Ma-
ma Khan, where their long range vol-
leys can hardly have been very effec-
tive, to reinforce the attack, and the
3rd Sikhs not long after them. These
fresh troops had now ,climbed up to
within a few hundred yards of the gap,
end a signaller broughl: a message to
our colonel from, the general to say:
"The Gordoas and the 3rd Sikhs will
attack; Derbys and Gurkhas in sup-
port; Dorsets in third line." Soon
after the red tabs of a staff ()Meet
or two appeared, staff officers up to
this point had been conspicuously ab-
sent, and we were ordered to with-
draw our companies aside. Then arose
a cheer frora the spot beloyv where
Colonel Mathias, very !iamb the right
man in the right place, had halted and
olosed up his regiment.; and addressed
them in that famous speech which will
ever be connected in history with the
name of Dargal: "Highlanders, the,
general says the position must be tak-
en at all costs. The Gardens will take
it.' If ever one raan's °cot assurance
and unbounded confidence in his raga
mein helped. to turn impending disas-
ter into brilliant success, it was done
by Colonel IVIathfa's few strong words
that afternoon. Roused to fierce ea-
thusiasm by their leaders stirring
speech and. by the faroiliar skirl of the
pipes, the Highlanders leaped to the
assault. Up they came, a long, thin
string of men with stern, set faces,
stumbling, scrambling up the steer:,
in a frenzy of creerage, not to be. gain-
said, a,mid occasional spasmodic gasps
from the pipes and cheers trona any
who had breath to utter, a sight for
those who witnessed it to

Bul no longer was the attack to be
attempted by the fruitless valor of
smolt detachments and dribiets of men
struggling through a crowded mass.
As the Gprdons geared the gap Lhe

to "cle,a.r a line for the Gordons," and

The Gordons enjoyed the inestimable
ad.vaetage of being to e. certain extent
familiar with the ground, from having
descended from Dargat two days beiore
by the very path which they were now
about to ascend..They therefore knew
that when once the dangerous space
to the foot of the cliff was crossed
the heights could be sealed. Moreover,

upon the position. Under cover of
this, combined with a torrent oL in-
dependent fire from the Dorsets, Der -
logs and Gurkhas, the Gordons stream-
ed through the gap one after another
as fast as they could clamber up, and
cies:bed across the open space be -
gond.
BULLETS WHISTLED AND SPAT
all around them as thick as ever, but,
though a large number were wounded,
fortunes° far favored them that only
one officer and two men were actually
killed, a smaller number than that lost
by a.ny of the other regiments. Prob-
ably the enemy's fire grew wild and
inaccurate under the storm of shrap-
nel that rained upon their sengas, aid-
ed by the sight of the now at /Jest
continuous stream of men pouring
through the gap; for in quantity. at
least it had not abated one whit. In
a momentary pause, after the first two
groups of Gordons had passed, a com-
pany of the Derbys staredup and fol-
lowed them, and then another, and
then, as frota a dam let loose, the long
pent up mass at the gap broke through
and an indiscriminate crowd of Gm -
dons, Derbys, Dorsets, S,khs and Gu. k --
bas were ruebing pellmell across the
open.
The day was won. Whether it was,
as some think, that the enemy's supply
of ammunition was running short aft- I
er the five hours' fight, or whether
they were cowed by their failureto
stay the advance to the foot of their,
position, they broke and fled when the
leading troops were still two hundred
yards below them. The final storming
of the steep track to the crest, whieh
a few resolute men amply supplied
with ammunition might still have
made impossible, was accomplished un -
resisted. 'When, at three o'clock pre-
cisely, the heights were crowned, be-
yond some splasnes of blood and heaps
of empty cartridge cases, no sign was
visible of Afridi or Orakzai, alive or
dead. This seems to preclude the be-
lief that their lessee can have .been
very heavy. Ours amounted all told
to a Iniaidred and ninety-nine, includ-
ing three officers killed, ten wounded,
one fatally,.and thirty-three men kill-
ed.
