In the pre-railway days they were common all over India, and were kept up by the Government. On the main high roads these houses were about ten miles apart, that dis-i ; tance representingastage. Palanquin- ~ bearers-that is, the coolies who bore the palanquins,- which at the time of the mutiny were much u.sed-had to traverse one of these stages before they were relieved by other coolies; while the post-dawks `found fresh horses waiting for them. The house, indicated _in thestory was situated in a very lonely spot, on the high road to N'epaul. During the mutiny many of the clawk-house keepers de- serted their posts, and the housesfell into ruins. ` _ A1]- -.,;` 1l\Ll|.\I The night was deepening and- the stars were shining when they bade the shepherd farewell, Laalool be- } stowing an -ample reward for the hos- i pitality. The man had. set `them on their way, guiding them for about four miles through the jungle, untill they gained a road, where _he left them. They travelled rapidly, for the road was good, and a refreshing northerly wind .tempered the heat. Without a halt they swung along all through the night. Theregwas dense jungle on each side, and "it `kept the road in shade. The sun was. high when they came to a bend; then they saw, about two miles .in_ front of them, a white house. 6wI'~|_ _ , H-v---; as vvnuc uuuac. :kA_1_,11 ._ - 11 All 95631 lvc It was evident that Laalool was not inclined to further conversation, and he busied himself in preparing a meal of native curry, which Jasper did jus- tice to, and washed it down with cop- ious supplies of milk.` -Wlhen"he had nished he felt like a giant refreshed, and Laalool suggested that he might like tobathe.

Never before in his life had he experienced such a sensation of exquisite pleasure as that hath afford- . ed him. It gave new life, new strength, new hope.

Sunker_Singh s wife presided over the cooking arrangements`, of the house, and she. had that morning been at a village` three or four miles away, and procured materials for a sumptuous banquet. There was an antiquated moorgi, which was promptly` turned into curry. There was -a joint of kidesh, "and some veg- etables, to say nothing of a quantity 'of'luscious fruit; while the godown of the house afforded an ample sup- ply of English bottled` ale and Ex- shaw s brandy. `Here was a feast for the gods !--at least, so thought All- port and Bradeld, whose appetites I had not been pampered of late, and when they rose from theta-ble with a. feeling that fateconld not harm them for they had dined, Sunker Sing `produced a box ofcheeroots. This was indeed a superb rounding off to the feast- The two comrades_'repair- e1 to-the verandah, and made burnt- offerings to the goddess of nicotine. The house was situated in a very lonely spot. It was practically in the heart of a jungle, through which the roadehad been carried, and stret- 'ched away like a straight band both. north and south. as far as the eye could reach. The day was done. The erce glare and heat had given place to the darkness.` and cooler air of night. The two men, as they puffed at their cigars, could not avoid a comparison of their condition at that moment with `what it was a few days ago, and they owed the remarkable change to an unknown woman, who had evidently perilled her own safety to serve them. Why? The" question was uppermost in -each mind. -So far she had been a tantalizing mystery. Apparently an Englishwoman, she , nevertheless seemed to be well acquainted with native ways,,and knew the country well. And it was equally_clear that she had been able to perfect arrange- ments for freeing the captives in whom she displayed so much inter- est. Those arrangements had been` Icairied through without a hitch. ,What was the secret of her power. `her inuence? That she possessed polver and inuence was obvious.

They had stuck to their post as keep- ers of the dawk-house so far, since the mutiny had broken out, though their lives had been threatened by bodies of` rebels prowling about the country, murdering and` looting wherever they could. The loyal na- tives particularly, were singled out for vengeance, as they were de- nounced as enemies to the cause. Allport took Sunker `Sing s hand, Then he shook hands with" the son, and told. them both that if he lived, and it was in his power to do_so, he would'see that thgir loyalty did not go unrewaarded.

Two days later, however, I . did escape, aided by the faithful Laa- lool, whom I have long known, and v.ho was sent to attend to the wants of the imprisoned women. But I dont wish to mystify you, and I will make known this much to you. I was one of theiwomen of Nana Sa- hib s zenana, placed there by the black-hearted and thrice-accursed devil, Azimoold.
