. Men of old Greece, by Jennie Hall. Old Greece the fifth morning a Greek scout came run-ning into camp. At last the fish bites! he cried. Theyare coming, but only one company of them. Then there was a rushing to arms. You Spartans look as though the bestcourse of the banquet were being served, said a Theban. So it is, shouted a dozen Spartans. The men fell into line at Leonidas com-mand. The gates were opened, and theymarched out. They formed in a deep massbefore the wall. They waited. Soon therewas a glint of bronze from around a hillThen sounded horses hoofs. Still theGreeks waited. Leonidas stood in front ofhis Spartans. He was tall and straight.His head was high. His blue eyes blazed.His brown arms, rough with big muscles, held ready shield and spears. The hoof-beats and the shining armorcame nearer.

Then they opened theirmouths and shouted their good war-cryand blew their shrill trumpets. They swungtheir swords and ran into that crowd of Per-sians. Then was the noise of a great fight, -clashing of swords, whizzing of arrows, shouting of men. From morning untilafternoon they fought. Greeks fell deadunder Persian arrows, but more Persiansunder Greek swords. At last the enemiesarrows were gone, their spears were broken.They were bleeding with wounds and stiffwith fighting. And still the Greeks stoodlike a wall of biting swords. So at last thePersians turned in fear and rode back totheir camp. The Greeks sat down in front
