The Khansamah was laying the meal of tea and fruit which appeared in all Behar bungalows at about ten in the morn-- ~Sonia waited till he had gone, and said, "Uncle Justin, that _ money has been sitolen from my trunk." "What money?" he asked placidly "Thé money Aunt Emily gave me. I told you." "Yes, I remember. What makes you "I don‘t think so. Whoever has taken the money will certainly keep it as long as you don‘t appear to have missed it, and the soonér it is returned the better." Sonia did not feel qualified to argue about this simple and novel attitude. She supposed he must know what ne was doing. Ghe remembered ruefully, as she went back to the veranda, how cross she had been with Uncle Justin, half an hour before, for his recklessness in giving away the heifer. Now it was his turn. ‘She told him the details and how, since Mrs. Macfarlane‘s warning, she had kept the key with her. sure, though she ‘knew It to be imposâ€" sible, that the envelope had not slipped out of the pocket, Sonia spent a dismal ten minutes reviewing the new situation. A theft on this scale was quite differâ€" ent from petty appropriations of houseâ€" hold stores|, and| she would«have to tell Uncle Justin. The loss of the money which Aunt Emily had entrusted to her was not worsa than the almost certain knowledge that one of the servants must have taken it. It seemed equally horrible to suspect any of the old serâ€" vants or that hardâ€"working and deâ€" corous little Resimi. “Sorxie’one must have either taken an impression of it before that, or found a key to fit the lock." “'I;hat sounds; very clever sourceful," said Mr. Gedge. "Go and tell the servants to come here. L have something I want to say." When the servants were all gathered, Mr. Gedge, said in his usual gentle tone,.. "The Missahib has lost. some money from her trunk, which was lockâ€" ed. I wish that it shall be found and returned either to her room ‘or. mine. I have no more to say." as masks, Resimi, standing apart, looked, as she always did in public, aggressively modest. "You may go now," said Mr. Gedge. Hosain, the only one who seemed â€"to have taken in the significance, raised. his clasped hands. "Huzoor (Presence) this is a shameâ€" ful matter. If you suspect that one of us has taken the money, let all our houses be searehed immediately." "I have said what I want," Mr. Gedge replied. ‘"Let the money be returned and the matter will be finished." During the next few days, Mr. Gedge was the only one in the house who seemed unconscious of strain. Sonia felt acutely that she was to blame for all this, and could only show it by beâ€" ing specially considerate to the servants. ‘Their exemplary manner to her was constant ‘reproach.: The daily giving out of stores was a competition in poâ€" think it was stolen?" "Without further comment he called the Khansamah. "You aren‘t going to ‘tell them, are you?” said Sonia. "Wouldn‘t it be better to wait and see who might have done it?" Sonia was glancing round the grave, listening faces. They remained as black "WHAT â€" MONEY?"

"Huzoor," he said, in a voiceâ€"of porâ€" tent, "will you come to your room, and the Mizssahib also?‘* Resimis golnz cléared the air comâ€" pletely, and Sonia settled down to a much better understanding with the servants. When the housekeeping exâ€" penses crept up again, she accepted that it was cheaper in the long run not to try to keep them below the acâ€" customed level. . The only person Who mentioned the theft again to her was clerk, Nur Singh Lal, who, like almost everyone : about the place, was an old employee; a little man with a grave, clerkly air and a darge white drooping moustache. He was generally looked up to, as was natâ€" ural for a man who could read and write among those who could only sign with a thumb mark. Hoskin‘s face glowed with his success. ‘‘We all, your old servants," he began "have neither eaten nor slept for the shame of this theft." "My bearer, Hosain, became a thief in his old ageâ€"and then he repented Is it not so?" "As you please, Huzoor," said Hosain, beaming again. "If anything of yours or the Missybaba‘s is taken in this house, let the fault be mine." A STRANGE WAY OF LIFE _ Mr. Gedge refused even with Sonia to speculate on the affair or discuss it. He only remarked, ‘"You see, my dear, there is a difference between dishonesity and the customs of this country.". Mr. Gedge stopped what promised to be a thrilling detective story. "I said that when the money was found the matter would be finished.‘" He looked at Hosain‘s disappointed face and gave the little chuckle. that was so rare from him now. Though, as a rule, he never mentionâ€" ed household affairs, which were not in his.province, â€"heâ€"~remarked~to Sonia at her next Hindustani lesson: "Missahib, With a thrill or relief; Sonia recogâ€" nzied the familiar envelope Mr. Gedge' handed it to her. "Let the Missihib count the notes." She counted them, and said, “They are all here." It was not a reproach, but it made Sonia think that in spite of his detachâ€" ment, he had noticed her wellâ€"intenâ€" tioned zeal in housekeeping and found it excessive. Next morning Resimi came to Sonia, looking very subdued, and said she had heard her husband with ill in Siswa. She begged for leave to go that day. ~ "Someone who takes money evidently is in need of it," he replied equably. "I want you to give it :to her." «At the doorway of Mr. Gedge‘s room, tgxe Khmamm was standing . nke A sentinel. ‘"Be pleased to 1ook on the dressing-' table, Huzoor," said Hosain. be better. Mr. Gedge made no comment when Sonia told him and asked for fifteen rupees with which to .pay Resimi. He gave her thirtyâ€"five, remarking: "She had better have something extra. She has worked hard." "Uncle Justin, why?" Sonia protestâ€" ed. "It‘s quite obvious she took that money and Hosain somehow made her retum it.‘" id was no knowing when he would ' There was another crowded house on _ Monday, January 22nd, 1934, to enjoy the special meeting of the new town council, this special meeting being iheld in the council chamber where the crowd was awaiting it, instead of being secret as well as special, like the other special meetings held.

T‘wo ;of the three resolutions passed referred to the appointment of the new chief of police so that the resolutions actually passed might be said to cover only two questions.
