Next day Quinctius led on his army in regular order along the bank of the river, passed the city, to the foot of the mountain of Menelaus, the legionary cohorts marching in front, and the cavalry and light infantry bringing up the rear.
The cavalry it was before the days of Hackett and Poinsett and McClellan saddles and Solingen sabres appeared to treasure up the memory of "Light-Horse Harry Lee" and Major Winston of the Legionary Cavalry that helped Mad Anthony Wayne against the Indians of the West. They had not heard of the valor of the elder Hampton or the daring rides of Major Davies, of Kentucky.
The closed aristocratic corps of the equites proper came to set the tone for the whole legionary cavalry, taken from the citizens who were of highest position by descent and wealth.
"It is rumoured in the country towns that Cæsar is driving all before him in the north, and will be down on Rome in less days than I have fingers." Gabinius clapped his hands. "And we will be down on Rome, and away from it, before a legionary shows himself at the gates!" How Pompeius Stamped with His Feet A messenger to the consuls!
No need for resistance in his will where nature resists on his behalf. Sherbet, shaddocks, grapes, these were innocent applications to thirst. And the great republic of antiquity said to her legionary sons: 'Soldier, if you thirst, there is the river; Nile, suppose, or Ebro. Better drink there cannot be. Of this you may take "at discretion."
The torchlight flickered on Leclair's service-revolver, and was reflected on the guns of every Legionary. "If that's the explosive," Bohannan cried, "faith, we're in for it! Is it the explosive that's blown Hell out o' the Black Stone?" A wild cry echoed down the passage. The Olema, his face suddenly distorted with a passion of hate, snatched a pistol from beneath his burnous.
"Hail to Rome! May Neptune protect you! The gods accompany you!" Actæon heard a mocking laugh behind him, and as he turned he saw the Celtiberian shepherd who had killed the legionary in the tavern the night before. "You here?" the Greek exclaimed with surprise. "Are you alone, and do you not hide from the Romans who seek you?"
From this fact, and from similar examples, there is reason to believe, that the constitution of the legionary troops, to which they partly owed their valor and discipline, was dissolved by Constantine; and that the bands of Roman infantry, which still assumed the same names and the same honors, consisted only of one thousand or fifteen hundred men.
While they were still assembling, Cato advanced, without hurry and with a tranquil countenance, as if nothing new had happened, holding a book in his hand, which he was reading; and this was a register of the military engines, arms, corn, bows, and legionary soldiers.
"Knight Legionary of his Majesty's r-r- royal order of the Legion of Honour! Drummer! Fermez le ban!" This was done by the only drummer on board; the gallant surgeon-major came up to receive his cross, which the King, whose gravity never forsook him, presented to him with a few kindly words, while all the spectators made superhuman efforts to control their inclination to laugh.
