Two Earopeana, wan, half atarved and in every way wretched, Iwgirt by aa many perila aa ever waa the Apoatle Paul, are wandering alone in the desert, attempting to make their way overland toward aome part or other of the Suez Canal. Not to make a mystery of the matter, they are none other than Frank Donelly and hia devoted follower, Pat Monaghan, whom in the chapter before the laat we beheld aetting out from Alexandria in the dead of night on a moat Quixotic and hopeleaa er- rand, aa any but a lover and an Iriahman would have perceived from the very first. At last, one moonlight night, they had been perceived prowling in the neighbor- hood of an advanced picket, actually In the rear of the Egyptian linea (a hanging matter according to every military code in exiat- ence), ao that a troop of horae had been aent in purauit of them, and theae, turning their flank and sntting them off from Alexandria, had ohaaad th^m for fifteen milei out into the deaert, and Jrom that time whenever they had aonght to retuan they had encoun- tered aome bray of Bedouin horae or other, who drove them first in one direction and then in another, till at laat (although they aa yet had managed to keep olear of hoatile lead and ateel) they were altogether lost, and no more knew the way back to Alexan- dria than the way to reach the moon. They had been lost for more than a month now, and all that while they have wanderied to and fro in a weird wild region ot hill and mountain, with large atretchea of deaert between hilla rout ded at the topa, bare of verdure and hideously monotonona of aapect, ao that one can hardly be diatinguishedfrom another, which makea it all the more diffi- cult to get out of thia apparently enchanted region, and often after attempting it for a wnole day they have found themselves ^at Bunaet oloae to where they atarted from at Bunriae. Even in thia terrible region, however, there ia an oasia to be found at intervals wide apart, each with a natural apring in ita centre (whence, undoubtedly, Ita exiatenoe), and adorned at the leaat with fig and date tre'a, fruit than which in a dime like Egypt nothing more ia wanted to aupport life. One morning juat at dawn, Frank Don- elly atarted as they were in the act of sad- dling their heraea and exclaimed In excited tenea to hia companion, " Did you not hear it " ' ' Begorra, an' bad cesa to that aame, I can Oizly hear the barking of a fox." " You aren't tronbling to liaten. I wiah you would, for I want your opinion about it." " Be jabera, I can hear it now, your honor. There muat be a nest of 'em close by." A neat of what, Fat What on earth do you make it out to be then " « Why, if it ain't the buzzing of the most thundering bumble bees or hometa I'm bleaaed." " It eounda to me a deal more like the rush of steam through the 'aoape pipe of a distant steamer. It aeemed tamiliar to me the inatant that I heard it." " I wish it waa, yer honor, but ateamera don't come tearing aoroaa deaerta." ' No, Pat, but In many plaoea the deaert atretchea to the very banka of the Suez Can- al, which ia traveraed by ocean ateamera coutlnually. Let ua up and away and at once make in the direction of the aound. There la hope for ua yet, my boy." " If there ia, begorra, here oomea a pack of those brown Bedouin davlla determined to do their beat to out us off from it. We've not a moment to Icae, yer honor." There waa no need to loae evenhalf a min- ute, for the horaes were already saddled, and they had but to leap upon their baoka, gath- er up the reina and kick the oomera of their shoe shaped atirrupa againat their bony ribs in lieu of spurs. Thia done away they tped with the apeod of the very wind out of the fertile oasia and acroaa the brown desert sand, whilat the Badoulna, who had evidently hoped to steal down upon them rnperceived, rent the air with their ahrill and angry cries and brand- ished their long speaia co high. The monotonous aound still continued, and the fugitives guided their horaes In Its direction. If it waa what Frank Donelly aupposod it to be 'twaa atill a long way off, and by the time they had reached the canal the ateamer, from which he almoat hoped againtt hope that It proceeded, might have paaaed quite out of sight. Then all at onoe it atruck him Waa the oanal atiU open .^ j He was aware that the war minister had threatened to destroy it on the firing of the first hostile cannon against Alexandria. If he bad kept his word, the supposed ateamer was a myth, and the strange hum- ming noise was oaused by semethuig that might be hostile inatead of friendly to them. Theae were anything but agreeable doubts and fears. ._ As a drowning man omtches at a straw, ao, however, did Captain Donelly and Pat Monaghan hang on desperately to this, their almost remaining hope, aa they sped on ud on MTOH the levd plain and areond one hlU •ftsr MMiher, th« ooattsmuly hamming â- e«Bd alaBa â€" **'""g thm to ttaor •«•]«• ably straight ooons. Tho Baaonias hoag as pecsvretinglyr «b their trail, hewovar, m grim dsath spurs Ills white hersa liard an tha tmak ef plsfna, paatilaBce ar tamina, and avary tima thay vantorad ta look baok thair potsnanaaamaa to have gained on ttiam, whilst that thay themselves wara aware of tiia fact wm avl- dent from th^ fraqventexaltfag shouts and the oontinnal frantio brandiihug of lanoa and matehlook. A wild and farooions looking sat thay were, with their long beards, floating scarlet headdraues, bronzed, hair naked forms and enormous swords dnng over thdr backs whilst their horsas looked ahnost equally ferooioaa, with their tossing heads and streaming manei and tidls, and those other tails dyed bright red that dangled and sway- ed from their ploturesqne harness. "Pat, unleas Providence is especially looking after ua, they'll run us to earth." Thia at last in almoat despairing tonaa, c kme from Pat's master but Monaghan's thoroughly oharaotcristio reply was • Bedad, yer honor, an' It'a hard to aay but for myaelf. I feel iu lietter apfarita now that there'a aomething more to rouaa me up than the fliea an' other stinging an' worriting oreaturea. An' beaides, we've pulled through almost aa bad before." " Well, Pat, we can but do our bast and, by Jove, that we will do to the last gasp." They spoke no mere, but strained every nerve to prevent tha Bedouina gaining ground. Their aole comfort waa that that half hum- ming and half ahrieking nolae was more plainly audible than ever In their front, and deoidodly very much nearer. Bat sound is very uncertain In some states of the atmosphere, and the still, balmy air of Egypt bears sound at all times a long way, »o that it might be stiU miles distant. And now the Bedouins alung their bmoes and handled their matchlocks, the next in- atant discharging them whilst at full gallop, aocoirding to their usual custom. The bullets bozzed past the ears of the fugitives like wasps and they made the moat unpleaaant discovery that they were already within range. To turn at bay upon more-than a scare of foes would, however, have been poaltive madness, and so they still continued their flight, a flight that now appeared to be hopeless. A big hill waa directly before them, eb- atructing all view behind. " If there'a no auooer on the other aide of that we will aell our Uvea at the beat prioe we can get for them, Pat," said Frank Don- elly, as be carefully examined his revolver. " Ye may well say that," waa Monaghan's reaponae, "for my nag la about dead beat aa it is." The Bedouina perceived thia aa well, and their criea became like thoae of hungry wolvea. ' Donelly involuntarily drew In hia own ateed aomewhat, determined that he wouldn't place himaelf by ao much aa a aingle yard In a aafer position than that oooupied by his brave and faithful follower. The horses were both reeling rather â-  than gallophig now, but In another minute, aa the baae of the rocky hill waa rounded, both officer and man almoat abrleked with de- light at what they beheld, for not five hun- dred yards in front of them was a narrow strip of red water, and an enoirmous whlte- huUed tranaport flying the Britlab Union Jack lying motionleaa m the centre, whilat her bulwarka were crowded with red- jacket- ed, white peak-helmeted aoldiers, gazing with eager curiosity in their direction, doubtleaa owing to the report of the Bedouin matchlocka having reached their ears. Three minutes later Captain Donelly and Pat had gained the bank of the canal, whilst the BadoninI, swooping round the base of the hill. In turn received such a deadly oar- bine fire from the deck of the British tran- sport that half of their saddles were emptied, whereupon the siuvivora ahrieked, wheeled round and disappeared beh nd the hill again with a quickneaa that did more credit to horae than man, CHAPTER LVI. THE DEATH BIDS AT BL MAQFABâ€" THE FIBST VICTORY. Tenminntea later Captain Donelly and Pat Monaghan were aafe aboard the Britlab tranaport Greece, which had been waiting for aa much aa a couple of hours In the Nar- rows of Atabet for a pilot to navigate her through Lake Timsah to the town of lamail- ia, where, according to inatruotiona of the oommander-in-ohief, her living freight waa to be put aahore. Bath officer and man werto glad enough to find themaelves amongst fellow-countrymen, and more especially red coats, but how was their aatiafaotion Inoreaaed when, directly they set foot en the tranapert's decks, the " Fourth D. G." on the shoulder straps of the aoldiera who thronged around infernred them of the moat agreeable fact that they were with the Royal Iriah Dragoon Guards, by nicknama " The Happy Family," and in short, thefar own regiment. " Thought you'd turn up somewhere or other, old fellow," exclaimed one officer. " Hardly In such a Mszeppa life fashion, though," added another. " I never beheld a more exciting steeplechase in my lUe. Well ridden, too." Thus, admidat jsataand oongratuUnons,: waa their brother officer escorted to the sa- loon, while the troopers lugged Pat Mona- ghan off to the ship canteen to traat him to what he had for weeks been longing for and dreaming of and chiefly talkfaig about, and what he had taken to calUng the"tiiraa blessed B.'s," namely, bread, beef, and beer. We ara getting so near to the end of our tale that we find we have no time to waste over Uble talk. It was the officers' breakfast hour and Frank Donelly was quite ready for the meal. Whan he had briefly narrated his awn adventures and listened In turn to plenty of divers opiidmis oenceming tha campaign, aU purtias holding tha unan- imous conviction, bowaver, that they would be crossing swords with tha Egyptains with- in a very few hours at moat, he axcltadly axdaimed "I wiah to heaven that I had a horae and a uniform, so that I might join yon." "Faith, and I don't sea what's to pra- vant your doing that same," responded tha raslmental surgeon, a genial cove of Cork, as he was in general facetiously termed. " Theia's C*pt%in Mnrphy down with favar, which he made warsa through being in tao graat a harry ta rsaavar, bat I^ sura ha'il teal a daal of aattaiaotlsa to ttink his coat baa a d»nea iMlag In tha thiek «l tha fnn aroB if ha lias to rassain antaida it.

" And 111 wagar, too, »faat he'll do tha work of any three ordinary men. If only pravhmsly well fortified with beef and beer." Two hours later the Greeoa waa dlaoharg- IniChor living fr aight upon the quay at la- mailia, and aome of the dragooiu were aent off to the front aa quickly as they could be got into their aaddlea. • • • • • • • A few worda of explanation are essential here in order that the reader may know what the British troopa were about so far away from Alexandria. Too fact was that when the commander- in-chief. Sir Ganet Wolseley, arrived at Alexandria on the 26th of August, ha found that Arabi Pasha had raised such formidable batteries at Kafr Djwar (where we left him in the chapter before laat) that he oemplete- ly blocked the short and straight road to Cairo, and so effectually that a fearful lo: s of life must have been tha result of any attempt to force a way in tliat direction. ad, and in anotiiar ooi^la af mimtaa ttajr wara Ofongh tha aorab aadNkboring th* artUlatyman at th«r guns, whOsttha £2 tian cavalry, who might liava mada nu meat ot them whUst so angagad, adsed with a wild panis, galloped away aorosa tha da Borl^ laoTing gons and gannara alika to thair fate, and in tha deadly mslaa Captain Dond- ly, who a i p e aad himsalf moat faariaasly*.

Sir Garnet member being Impoasd upon in youth and re-embarked more than half hia army, oaten aibly with the object of attacking the f orta in Aboukir bay and there effecting a landing and, having deceived not only the enemy, but a boat of treublerome and mlachlevons newspaper oorreapondents by the carefully spread report, he acoompllshed the most bril- liant tuae known in modem warfare by ateaming on far paat the anticipated point of attack and adzing the whole length of the Suez oanal, thus In lesa than twenty-four houra moat suocesafully accompliahing a com- plete strategic change of bate, bringing him- self nearer to the capital of Egypt by a good fifty miles than he was at Alexandria, strik- ng direotly^t Arabi Paaha'a communication therewith and turning and rendering per- fectly useleaa the formidable worka at Kafr Dowar, which had taken him more than a month to conatruct. Thua waa the outgeneraled Egyptian com- pelled to ahow an entirely new front in the Valley of the Sweet Water canal, which cuubl he, however, promptty dammed up, in an attempt to out off the only aouroea of water aupply available to the Britlab troops, wheae poaition for a while was critical enough, in the neighborhood of Ismailia, at all events for, independent of the water difficulty, Arabi had the railway at hia com- mand and, no sooner had the two thousmd men and a couple of guna been thrown ashore, than ten thousand Egyptians, with a battery of a dczan Krnpp cinnona, came ateaming down from Zag-a-Zig, resolved to drive the whole of the little force into Lake Timsah. It was the qidck approach of the Egyptians which had caused the dragoon guarda to be- take th«maelvea speedily to their aaddlea the very minute that their horses were alung ashore, and no sooner were they mounted than a couple of squadrons were sent for- ward to reconnoitre, one on the right side of the bank in the direction of Nepthe and the other on the left bank toward El Magfar. Captain Donelly had been given the ccm- mandot the latter squadron and he nomin« ated Pat Monaghan hla orderly. The instructions were to be on the alert, to advance in line when the ground waa suf- ficiently open for auoh a formation, and gen- erally to feel the way aa far aa El Magfar, there to discover what the enemy were about and if poaaible obtain a due as to what they meant doing. " Threes about I march 1 trot 1" and out flashed the sabres and away filed the dra- goons in sections of threes, all In the highest aplrlta at the near proapeot of a braah with the foe. After they had proceeded for about a league, from behind a small but dense patch of scrub Frank Donelly thought that he dla- tingubhed the glitter of ateel. He was about to send half a dozjn men forward to recon- noitre, when he was saved all trouble on that score by the enemy suddenly revealing himself in the shape of a well-mounted regi- ment of Egyptian horse, who came spurring from the rear of the acrub, brandiahing their lancea as though they thoroughly msant mi' chief. In numbers they were thrioa the strength of the British, wmlst their horses were in fine condition. They thus had the advan- tage In every way. But of course retreat was not to be thought of, and so Captain Donelly, as he cast loose his holster flaps and then waved hia sword, shouted out " Tret 1 gallop 1 charge 1 Give them the point, lads, when yon oan, and remember all of you to watch your opponent's eye and net his blade 1" The Egyptian cavalry did not stop to re- cdve them, but, waiting until their foes were almost within piatolahot of them, they parted to left and right, made a npid re- trograde movement in two columns, whilat at the very moment that they thua divided aaunder a puff of white amoke and a fluh of red flamea broke through the patch of acrub and a ahell came hurtling through the air and fell plump amongat the dragoons, caus- ing their horaea to rear, plunge and shriek. The ruse of the Egyptain oavabry had ex- plained itself. Their aole Intention had been to tempt the Britlab dragoons within point blank ranee of their masked battery, and they had effaoted their fell design, for, "Hurrrl Hur-r-rl Hurr-r 1" came three more of the small howitzer shells, and one trooper's head was whipped dean from off his shoulders and the bowels of another torn out and scattered all his horse and saddle trappings. Every one looked anxiondy toward thdr leader, wondering what his next command would be. " Oh I On We daren't let it be poured at ua in retreat, ana the boldeat oourae la the safest 1" They saw it waa so but had they not it would have been all the aame. The long braas trumpets sounded the " gallop," and the dimgoona went straight at the scrub. The nobe was deafeig, tiie smoke was blihfflng, bat fai thay burst and on they rush- how our elders .sought sometimes to put ua off with evasive aua^era or insufficient ex- planations how they told ua some plaud- pie story as an excuse or as a reason we al- so remember that even In our youth and aimplioity we were quite capable of seeing through their maneuvers. Now I do not believe in this sort of thbig. There should be no stiflhig of truth and no relaxation Qf duty. If, as often will happen. It Is not expedient or proper for the ohildren to know a particular fact or in- cident, they should be told so with kindness and frankness, but at the same time with firmness. 1 am afraid parents are too apt to overlook the Intelligenoe of their ohildren and addreaa themaelvea to their stature they forget the n^lnd, which Is invisible, in the presence of matter, which is seen. Toe treatment of ohildren must always, for theur own sakes, differ much from that of adults. Our manner of addresshig them must also be different but there does not seem to be any reaaon why we should net give them full credit for the amount of in- telligence they do possess. We may every day see oUldren with more dbcriminatlon, greater good sense, of better regulated mor- al deportment, than many whose tall figure or riper age has inveated them with the csnaeiquence of men and women. A Bulgarian Heroine' The Widdin correspondent of the St. Petersburg Novesti aenda to that newspaper tho following account of a young Bulgarian girl who took an active part in the late war against Servia, distinguishing herself at 81ivnitza and at Pirot, and received two crosses for bravery. Previous to the out- break of hostilities she joined a company of militia â€" such companies were then terming in various parts of Bulgaria â€" and accom- panied It to the southern frontier In the hopa of there meeting with the enemy. Daring some time she managed to conceal her sex, for her comrades took her to be a youth with an effeminate face, of whioh there were many such to be met with among the militia. Only the commander of her com- pany knew her secret she was obliged to disolose it to him when the company had set out upon Ita march, and he appears to have loyally kept it to 1 himself. In all exercises, parades and reviews she took part jointiy with her male comrades. At last, when Servia declared war against Bulgaria, the heroine took part In the forced inarch Into Servia, fought at the battle of Slivnitza, and joined In the attack upon Pirot. During the fight she did alLshe could to encourage her comrades, and they in return unamious- ly voted to her the company's medal for bravery. When, In consequence of the war coming to an end, the militia was dispersed she went to Sofia and was there presented to Prince Alexander, who awarded her a second decoration for bravery. She then returned to Widdin, her place of demloile before the war, where she acts as aervant to an old lady. She aaya that should the Servians beghi another war she will agdn fight against them, but In her woman's at- tire, for it is not worth while to change one's dress for such aa enemy.
