fusion. The General quickly mounted and 

 rode to the scene. There he found that the 

 enemy was not the Afgans. but a cloud of 

 infuriated bees which were specially active 

 about the bare legs of the Highlanders. The 

 great Lord promptly decided that discretion 

 was the better part of valor in such a con- 

 test, and "like Joffre. later on." ordered a 

 general retreat in as good order as possible. 

 Then he made an inauiry and found that 

 the stampede had been the result of the 

 thoughtlessness of an officer of the gth Lan- 

 cers, who. to revenge himself of a sting he 

 had just received, had thrust his lance into 

 a hive of bees— instead of suffering it with 

 the sangfroid of an English officer,"
