But who, with filial confidence inspired.
Can lift to heaven an ao presumptuous

5 THE TRUMPET CALL i
G'iO HERB was something worse than
M weeping and wailing among tbe
Pink dragoons when it became
known that tbelr pet squadron bad
been gobbled np by tbe enemy and sent
off to languish in the retirement of tbe
racecourse at Pretoria. ETen their old
rivals, tbe Tyrone fusiliers, with wbora
they bad met and fought in all parts of
tbe world with belts and fists, bad noth
ing but pity for tbem, and delicately
. forbore to make any remarks upon tbe
news.
Since they were under orders for the
Cape tbe Tyrone fusiliers were on tbelr
best behavior, and tbe Pink dragoon
at the depot felt too low and depressed
even to desire a farewell fight with tbe
Irishmen.
So they chummed instead. For tbe
first time in tbe history of tbe British
army Pink dragoons and Tyrone fusi
liers were seen walking together, drink
ing together and smoking each other's
tobacco. Some of them even walked
out with tbe same girl, and proud were
tbe damsels who walked out escorted
by a fusilier and a dragoon, thus form
ing a link, as It were, 'twlxt two gal
lant regiments which bad been at en
mity since tbe days of Wellington.
No man couli rightly trace tbe cause
of tbe quarrel between them. One his
torian claimed that at tbe battle of Wa
terloo tbe fusiliers bad peppered tbe
dragoons under tbe mistaken impres
sion that they were French cavalry,
thus adding injury to Insult. Another
authority held that the trouble arose
between the regiments during tbe pen
insular war, when, after tbe fierce bat
tle of Albuera, tbe fusiliers bad come
up for tbelr share of some pipes of
looted Valdepenas wine to find that
the Pink hussars bad absorbed the last
glassful and bad filled up the pipes
with water.
Perhaps the truest story of the feud
was that which told how, when quar
tered in the same town, after the Crim
ean war, the dragoons and fusiliers bad
Intermarried freely, so that they bad
become aKuost as one family. All had
gone well until the daughters of tbe
fusiliers who bad wedded dragoons be
gan to patronize tbe daughters of dra
goons who had married fusiliers refer
ring to tbelr husbands as "fut sojers."
Anyhow, all these wrougs were for
gotten In the one great trouble which
had befallen the Pinks. Sympathy
found beer to drown sorrow, and no one
rejoiced but the wives of tbe men who
bad been made prisoners. When tbe
day of departure came for the fusiliers,
the band of tbe Pinks played tbem
down to the station. Then the dra
goons bung on tbe footboards of tbe
carriages to bid them a last farewell,
and close-cropped beads were cuffed
affectionately.
"W'll bring em back, dn't you fear,
an' their 'orses. too," said tbe Tyrone
fusiliers.
"An' ould Kruger wld 'em," Inter
posed a corporal on bis own account.
Although there was plenty of room in
the special train, the Tyrone fusiliers
preferred to travel fifteen In a com
partment, as being more sociable ami
convivial than tbe orthodox five a side.
So the bugler bad a compartment all to
himself, and was spreading himself ac
cordingly. "Don't you be afraid, Danny," he
said to the trumpeter; "I'll keep a good
lookout for your chaps when we reach
es pretorier, an' I'll see what I can do
for "em!"
"Don't you be too sharp an' get a-cut-tin'
yerself. Bugler Simmons!" replied
the trumpeter, with gentle sarcasm.
"especially along o' that new bay'nit o'
yours, an' If you see my pertlckler
friend. Corp'ral 'Awkey along o' them
prls'ners, give '1m my love an' arsk Mm
If "e likes Pretoria better'n Portland.
Ail right, guv'nor all right! Keep yer
'ands orf the army, carn't ycr. It's
a-lavln' Its precious lives for the likes
o" you, ain't it?"
These last remarks were addressed to
the guard.
"Don't forget tbem calls I taught
yer!" cried the trumpeter to his depart
ing friend.
"Not 'arf!" shouted back tbe bugler
appreciatively.
Then, having made a grimace at the
guard, he pulled In his bead and settled
himself comfortably In the corner to
start a tiny packet of particularly vil
lainous cigarettes which bad been
pressed on him by a sympathetic friend
as they marched out of tbe barracks.
Beyond tbe trumpeter of tbe Pink
drarns. Bugler Simmons had bad no
friends to sec him off. He bad not
missed this last tribute to tbe departing
soldier, since throughout his short life
be had never enjoyed tbe privileges of
relationship.
He had been an orphan at tbe tender
ace of 6 months, had been raised in a
w rkhouse school, and had drifted Into
ttia O rill V hff MinWlll n t Kla vmtfltlAmAW
in soundlDg wind Instruments.
One lady. Indeed, as tbe troops bad
marched down to the train, had, much
to bis indignation, lifted htm in ber
arms and kissed blm.
"Just as If I was a bloomln' baby!"
be remarked scornfully to himself as
he sat In tbe corner puffing bravely at
his cigarette; "wait till we comes across
aome o' them Boors, that's all!"
Five weeks later tbe bad luck of the
Pluk dragoons fell upon the Tyrone
fusiliers, and Bugler Simmons had his
first chance of tasting tbe stern reali
ties of war to the uttermost dregs of
the cup.
Of course, it was nobody's fault In
particular, and everybody's fault in
general, and the fusiliers cursed noth
ing but their own proverbial luck, v.iicn
ihey found themselves at the nightfall
of a day of battle cut off frenj tbe army
aud surrounded by an overwhelming
rce of Boors.-
They orci:ji!-d the position of some
strcugtli. such as the Boers themselves

had com that they were as take tbe
poaltioa.
They bad taken it. with a Isaa of ever
100 men.
Later on a message had come, saying
"Hold poaltioa until you arc rein
forced."
They had held the poaltioa with the
loss of another hundred men against aa
overwhelming Boer attack, bat the re
inforcements had never arrived, and
U.3 cartridges were beginning to ran
short. Then, with twilight the heavy
firing of . cannon on the surrounding
bills had died away.
The fire of their opponents, too, aa
tbe day drew to a livid streak of gray
over tbe western mountains, had slack
ened down to an occasional sniping
hot.
Bugler Simmons had been very happy
all the afternoon. He bad found a snug
corner between two large bowlders, oc
cupied by a wounded Boer, one of the
defenders of tbe hill who had been left
behind In tbe fight
He bad tied up tbe Boer's legs with
tender fingers and an air of Importance
which bad brought a quiet smile to the
bronzed face of bit patient
"Now. I'm Just a-goin' to borror that
there Mouser o yourn for a bit o' shoot
in!" he bad remarked coolly when be
bad concluded the operation to his fan
cy; "that Is. If you don't mind me pot
tin at your pals," be added with some
diffidence.
The Boer laughed. He waa an Irish
"Boer," and, although a citizen of the
Transvaal, had no great sympathy with
bis friends, who bad left blm so pre-1
ctpltately when tbe Tyrones bad rushed
tbe kopje at tbe point of the bayonet
"Never mind me. youngster,", be re
plied as he slipped off bis bandolier,
which was well filled with cartridges.
"I'm only a prisoner of war.1
"Tou talk jolly good English for a
Dutcby," remarked Bugler Simmons,
as the Boer showed blm how to load
the strange weapon.
"My father was Irish, answered the
Boer.
"Then you're on the wrong side.
?ocky," said Bugler Simmons with con
viction.
"I sha'n't be to-morrow morning" an
swered tbe prisoner with grim mean
ing.
"Ton mean we shall all be dead If
those reinforcements don't come up?"
queried Bugler Simmons.
His prisoner nodded.
-Looks like It don't It?" remarked
the boy cheerfully; "but we ain't dead
yet. wot ho! We ain't got much money,
but we do live!" be added, as he sighted
and fired.
"Hit anything?" asked the Boer with
a laugh.
"Kicks a bit!" suggested Bugler Sim
mons, rubbing his shoulder.
"She's a bit heavy for a young un
like you." answered tbe Boer, as be
slipped another cartridge into tbe
breech. "By tbe way, sonny," be add
ed, "how old are you?"
"Fourteen last birthday," replied
Bugler Simmons promptly.
"Too young for this business." mur
mured tbe wounded man to himself.
"Say. Dutchy," said tbe bugler, "d'ye
see that chap down there, crawling be
hind that rock? Is be a pal o' yours?"
"I don't think so." answered the Boer.
"Why?"
" 'Cos I'm going to pot Mm," replied
Bugler Simmons quickly, as be cuddled
tbe stock of tbe rifle against tbe cheek
which the lady bad kissed, and sighted.
The Boer behind tbe rock was aiming'
at a wounded British soldier who had
dropped In tbe rush for tbe kopje and
was now trying to crawl to cover.
There was a sharp report, as the
whole of the bugler's little body twist
ed with the recoil of the rifle, and tbe
Boer behind the rock pitched forward
on to his face.
"Got Mm!" said tbe small savage tri
umphantly; "my, but tbat was a close
shave for Private'Jones!"
He had certainly saved the wouuded
private's life.
"Tbat was a clean shot, young uu."
said the Boer wltb approval, "but you
mustn't show your body like that when
you fire, or you'll get plugged, as safe
as eggs!"
"Bight ob. Duchy!" acquiesced the
delighted bugler. Then a thought
struck him. "I say. would you like
something to read?' be asked, thrusting
his smoke-fouled little paw Into tbe
breast of bis tunic. "'Ere's tbe ha'
penny journal wot I take in when I'm
at home. It's six weeks old, but there's
some proper reading In it; all about
pirates and snakes and buried money.
Tbe worst of It is that those chaps al
ways knock off tbelr stories in the most
excltin' parts. Now, there's Jack Dash
away in that story, 'e's just going to
aet nobbled by tbe pirates wot are com
ing up tbe bill after him, and you gets
so excited tbat it fairly makes you sick
when It cuts off short just as the pirate
king comes up tbe hill with his mouth
full of knives an' about three thousand
pirates behind him."
The Boer took the tattered dog's-eared
paper, and a queer look came Into
bis eyes as be regarded this remark
able youngster, who. In the very face
of death, was more Interested In tbe
fate of a novelette hero than in his own.
"I say, youngster," be said; "why
don't you clear out of this and get back
to the army?"
"Wot! an' leave our chaps be'lnd? Not
me!" responded tbe bugler rather indig- 1
nantly.
"There will be about seveM thousand '
men ou to you by daybreak, and your
general seems to have forgotten you. If
you keep those two stars In a line with
the top of yon mountain peak, you will
come to the horses of the commando
which are surrounding us now. Why
not take my bat and run down there,
collar a horse and ride for reinforce
ments. Your general has mislaid you.
There are some good horses down there.
too; some tbat we collared with a
squadron of your dragoons, added the
Boer.
Then Bugler Simmons msde no more
demur. He sought bis officer, who had
been mourning him as dead, and laid a
plan before him. His officer gave him
his blessing and a compass, the face of
which was painted with luminous
paint, so that Its points might be read
easily in darkness, 'and explained to
htm the probable position of the British
forces.
Half an hour later Bugler Simmons
was crawling quietly among a dense
crowd of Boer horses. Armed with a
penknife, he cut hobble after hobble
till, in the darkness, he came to a bri
dled and saddled horse, who attempted
to bite him affectionately.
He felt the brute's knees. There was
no doubt about It He had happened
upon an old friend, Corporal Hawkey's
Gliger, late of tbe Pink dragoons, now
serving in a Boer remount
For reasons best known to himself

he allowed Simmons to climb on to his

inflated bis lungs and placed his trum
pet to his lips.
Tbe Boers and tbe besieged on tbe
bill above beard a sharp succession of
cavalry calls sounding from the midst
of the horses.
They were answered by tbe tramp of
disciplined boofs as tbe horses of the
squadron galloped toward tbe sound of
the trumpet. In another second the
whole mass of horses was in motion, f
surging round Ginger, on whose bni-k i
lay Bugler Simmons, giving call after
call, until be felt tbe troop horses re
sponding, bringing tbelr Boer brothers
with them.

which kept the leaven in a state of wild
excitement. In a few minutes Bugler
Simmons was surrounded by a racing
crowd of 800 horses, against which
nothing could stand.
Tbey charged over a Boer encamp
ment, and tbe twenty men who occu-
pled It were found tbe next day beaten

The pace slowed after six miles, when !
an English patrol hove in sight. The
trumpet from the middle of the mob of
horses sounded a signal of distress, and
tbe patrol bore down.
"Are you a circus?" called the officer
in charge.
He rode In and cut the bugler's horse
out of the snorting, stamping mob.
"If ye.i please. I ve come for a little
help for the Tyrone fusiliers." ansv. -r-ed
Bugler Simmons faintly, but with a
tone of rodent sarcasm. "You can tell
