The story is told of an English and an Irish trooper who were scouting against the Matabele in South Africa recently. A band of savages suddenly burst from behind some rocks and started for the men. They jumped upon their horses and fled over the rough country, but the Irishman kept falling to the rear of his companion.
"Confound you, Mike!" exclaimed the Englishman; "ride, ride for your life! You'll be caught!"
"Go 'long wid you!" replied the Irish trooper, who was doing his best; "do you think I'm throwin' the race?"
