aplain and the pipers, while the solemn
service of the church was spoken.

9. Then once again the pipes pealed out, and "Lochaber No More" cut
through the stillness like a cry of pain until one could almost hear
the widow in her Highland home mourning for the soldier she would
welcome back no more.

10. Then, as if touched with the magic of one thought, the soldiers
turned their tear-damped eyes from the still form in the shallow grave
toward the height where Cronje, the Lion of Africa, and his soldiers
stood. Then every cheek flushed crimson, and strong jaws set like
steel, and the veins on the hands that clasped the rifle handles
swelled almost to bursting with the fervour of the grip, and that look
from those silent, armed men spoke more eloquently than ever spoke the
tongues of orators. For on each frowning face the spirit of vengeance
sat, and each sparkling eye asked silently for blood.

11. At the head of the grave, at the point nearest the enemy, the
General was laid to sleep, his officers grouped around him, while in
line behind him, his soldiers were laid in a double row wrapped in
their blankets. No shots were fired over the dead men resting so
peacefully, only the salute was given, and then the men marched
campwards as the darkness of an African night rolled over the
far-stretching breadth of the veldt.

THE FUNERAL OF JULIUS CAESAR

From "Julius Caesar," Act III. Scene ii.

The Forum. _Enter Brutus, Cassius, and a throng of Citizens._

_All._ We will be satisfied; let us be satisfied.

_Bru._ Then follow me, and give me audience, friends.--
Cassius, go you into the other street,
And part the numbers.--
Those that will hear me speak, let them stay here;
Those that will follow Cassius, go with him;
And public reasons shall be rendered
Of Caesar's death.

_1 Cit._ I will hear Brutus speak.

_2 Cit._ I will hear Cassius; and compare their reasons,
When severally we hear them rendered.
