By HAROLD CARTER. AN through the hot forenoon Lieu- tenant Richards had fought like a leader of heroes, braving death a dozen times from the spiteful Fili- pino bullets that hissed overhead; yet, though man after man had fallen in the thinning ranks, he was un- scathed. And the more he sought death the harder it secmed to die. With a mere handful of the seventy- nine who had been cut off from the Your | main forces by the cunningly con- trived ambsucade, Richards had fal- len back upon a hill, one of those |with their long knives, forcing the oth- | 34 \{UEL BOYER, 'lmooth. isolated hills that emerge here and there in the northern region ‘of Luzon, There, hard pressed, the { little remnant of Squadron B were ] holding their own against the enemy's Imnrksnn‘n, waiting for the arrival of i the relief column from ilina, It was stra {to Richards as 3 | the bliztering sunlight, Liis mind went traveling back to other scenes, other |d:x,\'s——lu that last day in Washington :.‘;.b(fore ke sailed away, He had sat all the cool afternoon with Lucy Greaves on the porch of |the Club House. Lucy was an old | neighbor, an old schoolfellow, & sweetheart of his boyhood, whom he had met the week previously, after an absence of years. And at the moment of that mecting each became aware that the love of old was mo transient thing, but something that would endure as long as life, and perhaps longer, for all they knew. On that last afternoon, under the shade of the oaks, whose memory was 80 grateful in that hot, sun-dried land, ihe had asked her to be his wife, to wait for him. Then Lucy, whom he had never seen discomposed, broke down and sobbed 3 in his arms. And as he listened to her 1| answer ho tinderstood that life would 3 - wig® “At Two Hundred!” {never mean anything to him again.

A wild ye!l burst forth from beneath the hill, re-echoed from 500 throats. The Filipinos were charging again. And this time they charged bome.

' Suddenly, far down the valley, the ! clear notes of a bugle rang through the air. Then, over the stillness of the lafternoon came the faint sound of | jangling bits. A cloud of dust was ris- | ing above the palms. The Filipinos, | surrounding the last of their enemies, hesitated to rush forward to certain death, and, swinging his sword, Rich- llrdl momentarily cowed the bravest | | of them, “Now, men,” he shouted above the tumult, “each of you take a wound- ed man on his shoulder and retire down the trail. I'll stay here and cow | ! er you until you reach the road.” And, | { stepping behind the rock. he selzed' the rifle of the wounded sergeant, and, ' crouching over him, began pumping ! bullets into the ranks of the enemy. | { Richards was now facing the sav- ages alone.

But Richards had imagined that it was | some officer he kuew. The memories vanished with the sudden cessation of the hissing above them. Richards knew what that meant. The encmy were preparing to charge. He eprang to his feet with a briskly uttered command. Under the hill a brown line was gathering, closing in, screaming with the fury generated by hemp and fanaticism. They came up- | ward, and, finding that the defenders made no reply, swooped in with a zest, flags flying, k«en, razor-edged bolos i flashing back the light of the declining | sun, Next moment it was hand to hand. i For a full minute—hours, it seemed— the fighting was fierce thrust and yell, the swing of the bolo, the thud of the rifle on stock or skull, the cough of the lung-pierced man as he tumbled backward. Then the attackers were sullenly retiring and the b-sieged drew a little closer together, Richards stooped and raised a be broken. Zip! That one nipped him across the cheek. Another missile carried away his hat and the cool breeze of the afternoon revived his strength mo- mentarily. “A near thing that, ser geant!” he shouted But the man he raced forward, Richards felt his strength waning again.

In fact, he was at the bottom of the bowl, and the huge ascending sides appeared wnscalable. The sky, the earth, the trees spun round him. He seemed to be in Washington again, seated at Lucy's side, under the oaks. Only the thought of her sustained him for a few yards more. Then, quite sud- denly his legs crumpled beneath him end he reeled and fell forward. Out of the profundity .he rose through a region peopled by spectires to consclousness of his surroundings.
