Suddenly a shot was fired, then a hoarse shout came over the desert, then there was silence again. "They are in, Saadat," said Mahommed Hassan. Day broke over a hazy plain. On both sides of the Nile the river mist spread wide, and the army of Ali Wad Hei and the defending forces were alike veiled from each other and from the desert world beyond.
The other group under Colonel Jukoff perished. He met a big detachment of Red cavalry and was defeated by them in two fights. Only two officers escaped. They related to me this sad news and the details of the fights when we met four months later in Urga. Our band of eighteen riders with five packhorses moved up the valley of the Buret Hei.
"Hei!" groaned Curio, with a lugubrious whisper, "to think of it, I have never a sesterce left that I can call my own, to stake on the struggle!" "At least," laughed Drusus, "I am a companion of your grief; already Lentulus and Ahenobarbus have been sharing my forfeited estate." But the proconsul looked serious and sad. "Vah, my friends!
"By Pollux! if the other Lygians are like this one, the Danubian legions will have heavy work some time!" But aloud he said, "Hei, slave!" Ursus drew his head out of the chimney, and, smiling in a manner almost friendly, said, "God give thee a good day, lord, and good health; but I am a free man, not a slave."
"But those the Egyptians!" explained Tafet. The prince cast a contemptuous glance at her, but rage mastered him straightway. "Who struck Sarah? Who threw the stone?" shouted he, seizing the arm of the black man. "Those from beyond the river," answered the slave. "Hei, watchman!" cried the prince, foaming at the mouth, "arm all the men in this place for me and follow that rabble!"
CIVIL WAR: FEUDALISM. The final struggle of the two clans, the Hei or Taira, and the Gen or Minamoto, was in the naval battle of Dannoura, in 1185, which was followed by the extermination of the Taira. Yoritomo, the victor, was known as the Shogun after 1192. The supremacy of his clan gave way in 1219 to that of their adherents, the Hojo family, who ruled the Shogun and the emperor both.
He then continues the invocation thus, "Hei, thou, oh mother; oh grandmother; oh maternal uncle; oh father: oh Suid-nia; oh younger grandmother; oh elder grandmother; oh younger grandfather; oh elder grandfather. He then pours out the liquor three times as before.
"You will see!" was her quick retort. "Hei! hei!" screamed one of the slaves an instant later, sinking to the floor. "Poison! It's running through my veins! I shall die!" "You will die," repeated Cornelia, in ineffable scorn, spurning the wretch with her foot. "Lie there and die! Cease breathing; sleep! And that creature, Ahenobarbus, yonder, shall sleep his sleep too, ere he work his will on me!
It ain't possible for him to come out!" From half the roof of the shed flames now poured, but presently a great shower of sparks rose at the farther end of the barn, and then Haw-Haw heard the sound of a beating and crashing. "Hei!" he screamed, "Barry's reached the black hoss and the black hoss is beating him into the floor!"
"So he's going to sneak out of it, after all," I thought to myself. A moment later the Captain himself came down. He was pale, and covered with dust, and plainly had not slept, but perfectly sober. He called to me from a distance: "Hei! how did you get in there?" I touched my cap, but said nothing. "Somebody been breaking in again?"
