When told, never falls to stir the blood. Horn in Perry county, O.. In lSli, and forced from the first to hew his own way In the world, he was at a law school hi Hnissuls when the l.-inneti-t'iiisslnn war burst upon I'.lll'- ope lu.1870. Having Jiuil some experlclieu i as a witter for the press, he entered the. fluid as a correspondent for the New ork Herald, and the close of the war found him In Journalism for life. When order was finally restored In ! Franco Maedulmli visited Russia, where Information readied him that an assault was to be made on Khiva. It was Rus sia's boldest move toward India. Deter mined to witness It, he hurried south, but missed the moving column. Then he pre pared for what proved to he one of the most dining rides ever made by man. It was a Journey of I'M miles through silent desolation, with 300 miles of desert. More than once he lost his way. Often he and Ills men were prostrated by the bent and thrown upon the sands, only to be re vived by the coming of the night. But for two months, despite the loss of hot'sus, the dally rebellion of his attendants, frequent exhaustion and seml-starvatian, ho pushed through the arid wastes. After he had started, the Russians wunt. ed him back, and Cossack horsemen were dispatched to overtake hlni. t-'or nearly Wnj miles they chased him across that ter llble country, but when they arrived at a halting place they always found that he had left it a few hours before. The young American was not overtaken, lie nail started for Khiva, and to Khiva he would go. He enteied the Russian camp a spec tie of himself. Otllcers stopped In the midst of battle to express their admira tion. He had one chance of a hundred of getting through the desert alive. He accepted It, and he not only won, but he eluded the Cossacks, and he saw Khiva taken. He was one of the llrst to enter the portals of that city, and Ids desciiptloli of its capture stands on record as u master piece of Its kind. Moreover, upon his re turn to Europe, bringing with him the dee oration of the Order of Kt. Stanislaus, never conferred by the Czar save foi per sonal bravery, he wiote the best book on Central Asia known to our language. Nor was this to bo his last achievement. Another turn of the wheel found him In Cuba describing the Virginias complica tions. Then the civil war In Spain broke out and ten months of hard and dangerous campaigning with Don Carlos followed. Once he fell Into the hands of the Republi cans, and, as he wore the Caillat beretta, he was taken for a follower of Don Car los and thrown Into prison. He spent the night In a cell swarming with vermin, and next morning was told to prepare for death. He wrote a few farewell letters to bis friends, bade his fellow-prisoners good-bye, and went out, as he supposed, to meet Ills executioner, liut the nearest United States consul, healing of his ar rest, had hurried, to his rescue, and he was set free. Don Carlos Dually put to rout, MacOahon returned to England and sailed with Captain Voting in the Pandora to the Arctic regions, making the last search that was undertaken for the lost ciew of Sir John Franklin's expedition. But hrllllaiif nnd varied as was his five ycnis' work, it had been only a prepara tion for tlie splendid achievements with which he was now to startle the world. In the spring of ISTti lie was In Ixjmlon. Picking up a paper, he read a brief dis patch telling of the Turkish massacres In Bulgaria. He had lived and worked In the east, and more clearly than any living man, recognized the hidden significance of this news from the Balkans. Within mi hour he had signed a contract with the London News to go to Bulgaria. Four weeks later he had put a new face on the eastern question. His famous ride through Bulgaria was begun. How Mactlalian was alfectcd by the evi dences which greeted him on every hapd of the awful work done by Achmet Aga and his Bashl-Bazouks Is shown by the letters which he sent to the News. Terri ble In their realistic narration of the hor rors which greeted him on every hand; earnest, fiery, vengeful, pathetic, ranging the whole gamut of human emotions; the burning piotest of one whose heart bled for the wrongs he saw visited upon the Innocent nnd the helpless, they will live as long as tlie language In which they are written. As MucGnhun rode on through villages once beautiful and prosperous, but now dellled and defaced by the hoof of the Moslem, speaking words of comfort and hope to the terror-stricken Bulgarians, the poor people came to look upon him as a be ing half divine. Their appeals for aid lie answered with: "The Czar will avenge this. Have courage, people, he will suie ly come." And this prophecy was soon verified, for MacGahan's letters thrilled the world. Everywhere men read them with blanched faces and moistened eyes. A Tory minis, try, stanch In its lldellty to the "unspeak able Turk," sent a lleet to the Dardan elles, but dared not lnnd a man or fire a single gun. The English masses, angry and horror-stricken, repudiated their old ally, and .Disraeli and his fellows were driven from power, in Russia the effect of these letters was even more electric The Russian army was mobilized at Kis cheneff, and the Czar, as the young Amer ican had predicted, drew the sword ugalnr.t the Turk. MacGahan was with the first army corps that crossed the I'ruth. A fall fiom a fractious hori-e a few weeks before had lamed him for life, but he rode on through Roumanla with all the blithesome cheeil ness of old. Tlie Danube crossed, he ac companied Gouiko In the daring raid over the Halkons which was one of the open ing events of the war. in the Hankol I'ass be was thrown from his horse and the half-set bone of his ankle broke a sec ond time. This serious mishap be dis missed with a laugh, had himself lifted on n gun-earrlage, and mounted on tills strange vehicle went through the entire campaign, in several desperate hand-to-hand encounters narrowly escaping cap ture by the Ti'iks. .The dash across the Balkans ended, MucOuhaii joined the army besieging Plevna, and dining the six days of con tinuous lighting In September, 1S77, never Kft Skobeloffs dde. The hardships of the long siege broke down some of his com rades, but not MacGahan. Through snow and cold he rode with Skobeloffs army across the Balkans and on to Adrianoplo and the Sea of .Marmora, writing sheaves of letttis as he went. When Iguatleff drew up the treaty of San Stefano, Mac Gahan again sliovved his remarkable foresight by declaring that It was not worth the paper upon which It was writ ten. But he did not live to see his predic tion vcrllleil by the Bi-'iin conference, lie was already prepailug to attend the open, Ingof that body when a fellow-countryman fell 111 of fever, and MacGahan unselfish ly lingered at San Stefano to nurse him back to health. Tho patient rucovered, but tlie nurse, in one of his visits to the Russian hospitals, caught the typhus, and on June S, 1S7S, all was over. He was only 31 when he died, this farmer-boy from Ohio, but In seven years he had made himself one of the heroes of his profession and of the century, and had done as much to shape history as any European statesman of the age, for It was his passionate recital of the wrongs of the Bulgarians and Roumellans the slaugh tered Innocents In the shambles of llatak crying out for vengeancemid that nlniio which brought about the Russo-Turkish war and the Berlin conference, and the chnnces in the man of the Balkans which i they entailed. To .MacGahan belongs tho credit or forcing tne tui'k uaca irom me Danube and the Carpathians, tho libera tion of lloumaiila and Servla from his rule, und thu creation of a free and united Bulguila. And the people whom he bervc-d so well, full of love and gratitude for the man who had risked his life to tell the world of their unhappy lot, gave him tho most touching proofs of their affliction while he lived, and placed him among their national heroes when he was dead, They burled lit m at Scuta!
