There was not even a semblance of defense and the bearded riders, hungry and from thirety their morning's work, found dinner laid far them in the native hute with half drunk cups and glasses and scarce tasted plates of food, while hi the window ledges stood open Jars of sweet meats and preserves from Japan. They were flushed with success and comfortably feeding when a battery of eight quick-fire- rs inconsiderately disturbed them from some by shelling the village trenches in front of Liandiatun. If waa a reckless, perhaps unnecessary thing to do. but the colonel decided he would get the guns just to show what eould he done. Away went the regiment, charging in open order in the face of a heavy fire from the battery and later coming under a hail of lead from thetwoconipaniesnf Infantry that were supporting the liatterr on each flank. Neither the shrapnel bursting overhead nor the infantry fire sufficed to break up the charge. Indeed, the few bullets that gnt home were one of the wonders of the charge. Ihe charge converged on the battery and it looked T a moment as though the Cossacks would be able to ride down the gunners, when, at the foot or the trenches, under the very muxalcs of the guns, the horses were brought up by a series of cleveily concealed barbed wire entanglements, too broad to jump and too heavy t lie torn up. It was here the captain of the hading squadron was literally blown out of his saddle liy a shrapnel. 28 men were wounded almost all close under the guns and ten killed, mostly during tbe retreat when all of the wounded and most of the dead were borne a war on thejr comrade's saddles. The retreat was even more orderly than the charge. The enloipd was shot through both legs, bin stuck to his saddle until tbe horse was killed undri him. He managed to mount a second horse snd this was also killed. Then Cossack swung from bis own horse, helped the colonel into the saddle and ran by the stirrup until they were out of range.
