One horse, a magnificent grey who had been leading the others, fell dead as he was leaping over a small gully, and his rider was thrown headlong to the ground. Another horseman turned in his course, assisted the horseless rider to his own brown steed, and the two were borne rapidly through the storm of bullets towards the kopje.

She slipped on the cobbles, as we turned in, and almost brought me down. "Go on," she gasped. "I'll " I picked her up and ran to the brougham. The humming was very loud.

In this woeful plight, moneyless, wifeless, horseless, corporalless, with a gag in his mouth and a rope round his body, are we compelled to leave the gallant Galgenstein, until his friends and the progress of this history shall deliver him from his durance.

At the same instant a horseless cavalryman, gray with dust and dripping with blood and sweat, staggered out on the road from among the trees. He turned a deathly face to theirs, stopped, tottered, and called out "Jack!" "Georges!" cried Jack, amazed. "Give me a horse, for God's sake!" he gasped. "I've just killed mine.
