It wai4 quite late In the afternoon when he reached the spot, and on the way the attendant stretcher bearer* had pick ed up a badly wounded man. In a corner among the roeka the surgeon found the wounded ofHcer. <*aptaln de Rougemont.

The Boars approached, ley tet off their horses and were atand b - close about him His Job was almost finished.

"TOe're very sorry, air," said a mld die aged bearded fellow in good Kng- Iteh We didn't tee who you were Wa thought you were lying there and were about to lire an us." The other stand about silently, lean ing awkwardly against their saddles. The man who was slightly wounded through the arm stood up. he began to ! swear. The Captain *ll#n-d him. and he sat down on the rock nursing his wounded arm And now comes the strangest part of the story, and one that. If It had not been verified, would be hard to believe. ; The Boers bent over and examined the wounded men They ahook their heads. | The Capleln felt hit aensea going, tha ! weakness was becoming overpowering i Someone apoke In Dutch and a horseman mounted The Captain looked up and asked slowly: “Who Is In command here?" "Well. 1 euppoea I am." aald a low hrowed ruffian, who srke English "Well, for heaven s sake, let this sltght -1 ly wounded men go and gee help for us " "He's our prisoner." aald the bearded jon "We've gol to taka him along, wa can t stay here " Surely you're no? going to leave us In this plight*" There wa. no answer The next thing the Captain remem bers was someone tugging el hie feet, slid then tie heard a sound of horses' lionfa going away over the rocks He lost consciousness. When he came to himself Ihe sun was down behind Ihe hills, and the cold evening shadows were ■omlng on He knew now what the tugging at his feet had meant, his spurs were gone! Captain de Rouge mont lying Is-side him was talking. "Dalton.” he said, "can you hear me?” "Yea.” "We re In a bad way. What shall we do’" "Don't move. It's the only thins that will save your Ufe.

"Water is the worss thin* for you. 'LI- sttll. What Is your name?' The man gave It and hi* number, and the Captain could almost Imagine that a salute accompanied the answer. "Can you see those other men?" "Yes, atr. they're both dead, sir." The soldier's agony was sunk tn the soldierly training "Keep quiet and lie * ettll, I tell you. Try to forget your thirst. Moving around will oniy make you worse." The soldier did not reply. The'strange thing of It alt was this: There had twen no hitter words expressed against the action of the Boers. It had been passed by as If by tacit consent. The Inhuman part of It. Ihe surgeon per ceived. was not Intended for torture, he sow that ihe enemy had regarded them alt as being practically dead men. To describe In detail that night of horror would be 100 harrowing. Capl. Dalton knew that his only chance of living was In remaining absolutely still. Since he had laid down he hail hardly moved a muscle, but |>oor dc itougetnont had be gun In wander. He began to shout to the stable guard, and Insisted that the horses were tethered over the hill. He raised himself on his elbows and called aloud lime and again. Dalton pleaded with him In vain He would not listen to reason. In the meantime the temptation of thlrsl. that overpowering dreadful agony of the sorely wounded, had been 100 much for the soldier. He had managed lo crawl to the body of one of his companions ari l had drained his water bolUe In a few minutes his agony was Increased three fold. and he tossed, rolling and wretch- Ing to and fro among Ihe rocks.

Ksrly In (he morning his moaning ceased Dalton was stiff from lying In the same position It was hitler cold and his flesh quivered. He felt the thirst, too. but his will power was alrong, and atrange to say tha overpowering weakness was leaving him and his brain was clear to think His thoughts were not pleasant He rrmem beted Ihe great birds whose shadows he knew would be sweeping over the ground the next morning He knew that the army had gone back, and he reckoned gloomily the chance of being torn. 1 JI-- knew It wu* not one In a thousand.
