As far as valour . was eon- cetned, France , and Frenchmen got the credit, but, -•the blood that was spilt so freely, was never brewed hi France, except _eli , isolated cases. 'W 1i superbinsolenee little_part' oi'?egaanaires march 'out into the unlonown, and fought like" devils; their rations were such as >a, British navy would turn his nose up at, and' ,the pay was -a, halfpenny a day, Eng- lish money. Often the water they carried with them' stank to heaven, and there was only just enough• of 'tihat to keep lifer in. them. 'So -many `Parties had to be sent out that the isupply of non-.eome. could not meet the demand, and fresh sous -officers' hied to be' created. fMcGlusky was the first Mau to be'lifted from the ranks. -When the .Falcon announced this fact to him, '.Mac astounded that ,officer by remarking "A'm no cariee a dem about it, monsieur; Ave done' wi' th' pomps en' vanities o' life. A'd as soon stay in ;tih' ranks an° obey some ither ,non as wear th' woollen epaulets." "Why, mop brave?""- _.. . _ r .. • "Wee!, monsieur, A had a veesiop 4h" ither nicht, an' A heard the voice e' ,th' Lord sayrin' tae ma: ''Gie ower yr swash-bucklin' an' .drinkin', gie ower Austin' after wumanlin, fr many o' ,them air but illegeetimate dauclit- ers o' th' Scarlet Mewl -nen o' Baby- lon; their seniles air ainly' a snare; they hae nae warm love in them, an' they. gang.their ain gait an' then wipe thir mooths wi' th' back o' their bans, an' say, "Why, should I blush? S bae done nae wrong; eet was th' anon who brought th' fruit o' desire tae nue; ort a 'shovel, an' A did eat." They air a' actresses; Jamie McGlus- ky, gie them a miss in baulk an' walk wide o' therm. Your meesion in life Jamie, is tae convert yr comrades o' ttlh' Legion tae th' narrer way." The Falcon, who had as much ex- perience of many forms of madness amongst legioneires, gazed alt Mac from, under knitted brow's. Some of the very best sous officers he had ever had, had'been possessed of a devil of madness in some shape or form. He remembered Carlo ,•Esparazo, one time sergeant -major. in_La Legion, Cario, who had left a name that was inmortanl in the annals of the Leg- ionl, and yet Carlo was quite mad, and used to think at times that he was not a enan at all, but a he -gnat. Had ]ie not on one occasion gone down upon all fours, baa-ing like an en- raged he-grat, when on parade, and had he not finished up that day by• galloping on all fours right between the bandy legs of a 'Marshal of 'France, upsetting the great man and laying him flat upon his back, and when the 'Marshal got up and at- tempted to draw his sabre, had not Carlo, risen up as a he -goat rises on its hind legs and butted the Marshal in the midriff with his head, knock- ing not only the wind out of the Mar- shal, but a goodly portion of his breakfast' as well? Remenmberhie all `these things, and being badly in gleed of a good sous officer, the Fel- ten, after due consideration, had re- marked; to Mc�Srlusky: "Name of the bug that bites, what do I care about your visions? You are promoted, so go out with five and twenty men to the hills of Kedar, and convert as many of our live ene- mies as you can into dead ones. You are just -crazy enough, you big Sootebntan, to try something big and carry it 'through." "Since ye force th' woollen epau- lets upon ma, All wear 'em," re- torted Mac Ungraciously. "cell ren' er nnto Ceaser who' is Caesar's, an' ;ren'er unto th' Lord who' is th' Lord's. All beat hell out o' th'. hea- then, eef they'll sten' an' fecht ma. XII convert these o' ma menthe' air left alive." ' So in the fullness of time Mac went with his handfdl of m•en into the rough and rugged depths of the Hills of Kedar, where an army of sane Men might hove hesitated to pene- trate. He stormed'_ into enemy strongholds, and drove the tribesmen in front of him, as a lion drives jackals, and when he had a victory .—and he had many=he would shout to his bunch of blackguard heroes: "Noo gang inta th' village an' put ele fechtin'' men who, well na surren'er hae 'lb' sword, but dinna hurtit an old body or a wean; as fr th' wunemin, h ae they . no been tie spoils 0' war frae .th° beginnin' o' time, an' A'm !theenkin' p'rapst tha's why wum'min air away ready to whoop fr war when there's trouble int'h' air." Be was- a' popular 'officer on ac- count o` .those orders, but' when he followed ,hems by attemilpting to en- force a weird 'sort of religious drill which. to himself evolved, serious ftroulble arose between him and his mien. IHe'mustered thein for prayers, but they would not pray, so he .pray- ed for them, and soeme of the things that got into his petitions would have Startled the head of a wholeeale, nut- fitting emrporium. The men. grinned when they heard hint asking the Al- mighty for everything dear to the hearts of 'fighting men, frost, small 'tenth coniba to (plug tobaoo) and when he.fim he&i p by 'deelaring that "eel rat• meati llae. faith he can re neve a t4Ottgarlll,"' they drpope'd etin'egeii'd Lind awaited a+esults, arid, when .no'tbr- fil haPinnted they Miffed openly, and, A..

Of course. in any of the arts, he knew nothing, and disdained to learn; , he could neither box' nor wrestle, nor apply. savate; his methods were those of the wild desert stallion, that is a killer by instinct. He would pound with his iron fists, like a blacksmith welding iron, or - kiek like a bull arrogs'e, and when he got a grip on' a- mean, he simply did his little best to, wrench the part he gripped asunder from its parent. trunk, and the Basque was not particular what part,'he got holcP. ef; if he he 'would manage to get his pet growl: !"'Now, by gar, 1 make you jump." What the other fellow used to remark during the operation must be left to the im- agination; if imagination fails to work, let the reader go and sit on the cogs pf a steam wench in active operation. The Basque's ferocity, strength and courage usually, carried him through suecessfully; wlhen, how- ever, these failed, his hand, was ever ready to drop. to.his kniifer-and it was halite& 'very broadly that he had! evened more than one score by means of a stray bullet or a knife thrust during engagements with the enemy. Not a nice man to have 'trouble with, this brutal Basque, but of one men he stood in awe, and that one was the Rat. When one came to compare the physique. of the two men,'this feeling on the 'part of the Basque, was scareely understandable. The respect for the London outcast had risen ,this " Way: The Rat had Fur- loined the Basque's soap, a (very prec- ious 'possession in that land of grimy sand and burning heart, and the hairy animal had threatened to wring his neck iff he did not disgorge. As a matter of professional etiquette, the Rat had indignantly denied the theft, teruninological inexactitudes not be- ing confined to eminent statesmen. The enraged Basque had thereupon proceeded to put his threat into exe- dution, and everyone had expected either the Rat would run or be an- nihilated, the only serene person present being the Rat. As the Basque plunged forward, the Rat feinted swiftly with his pipestem left arm for the wind; the Basque' drew back hia body, and advanced his head; swiftly as a bird leaving a bough the. )tat' had stepped close in, and his right hand dame up ,from. the hip with speed and power, and his bony knuckles landed beautifully under the Basque's massive chin, Lifting him bodily from his feet, and depositing him squarely on his back. After re- clining in this posture more or less gracefully for a minute or two, the Basque lifted himself to' a sitting position, whiereupon the Rat, with one hand in his breeches pocket, sauntered carelessly forward, and swinging Ms right leg, planted .the 'toe of hiis army (boot under the Besque's ear, that being all in the miles according to the code of a rough -house in the Legion. Later the Rat explained to the crowd: ""Hi didn't 'want 'Im to get up again an' get 'is little self 'urt, so Hi pas - :Red -'fns. one will 'tree shoe leather fer luck." A week or two later, the Basque, picking a moment when he thought the Rat was off his guard, opened' hostilities again, this time in a cafe. He might as well have tried to catch a weasel asleep, for the Rat was never off guard, and nothing no mei- ter how sudden, could flurry him; his lifelong training in• dodging Scotland Yard had made watchfulness' second nature, and coolness a natural asset. This time 'he met the Basque's rust( with a straight left-handed jab, with, the hand turned over, so that the 'bony' knuckles were foremost; those knuck- Ies and the'13as'que's throat -apple met and the (bull -like man was stopped in his tracks, as if he had run into a crowbar. ;His eyes bulged, his ton- gue shot out of his gaping mouth, end in that fateful second the Rat, la.unch'ing his, body from 'the toes, swung his right fist on to. the point of the chin, and once more a partial ec- lipse took possession of the B`asque's (brain, and in order that the good work should not be left ineom'plete, the Rat proceeded to jump with both feet in the midriff of the' prostrate gient. On the third occasion it was tire $asgne who• again reopened hostilities', this time at the back of the barracks, where, fortunately for the Rat, he had .am(ple space to move in. 'For several minutes he was kept very busy sidle - stepping; dodging and ducking, no one knowing 'better than he what his fate ,would be if he were relight in a clinch'. The 'Basque tried 'very hard to get hold of himi: he might as well have tried to catch and hold ori eel in the (slime, of a pond.
