"Of what avail, madam?" sighed Barnabas, turning away. "Come back I command you!" "I am beneath your Grace's commands, henceforth," said Barnabas, and plodded on down the road. "Then I beg of you!" "Why?" he inquired, pausing. "Because oh, because you are running off with my precious needlework, of course. In your pocket, sir, the left one!"

Slatin Pasha, who had been indefatigable on the battle-field, watching the course of events and locating the commands of the various important dervish chiefs, had received news that the Khalifa was still in the town. The Pasha, on passing over the field, had searched around the black flag and other noted leaders' banners to see who lay there.
