Mr. Gedge was evidently pleased. It gid not occur to him that Sonia shculd be worried over the prospect of leaving him alone. Through the weeks of confusion after the earthquake, he had worked as if nothing could defeat "Yeu liked doing indigo, didn‘t you?" said Sonia. "Yes."

From near here the border went sharply North West towards the lowest range of hills and the forest on their slopes. A branch line and a road struck up to Bhika Thori, at the foot of one of the few routes into the guarded land of Nepal. The road then took them up into shaggy, uneven grassland with a tree nere and there. Rocks cropped up in it and there were pebbles by the road. In spite of her anxiety and the weariâ€" ness of tha long, hot drive, she felt the little thrill which a new scene qlwa}q gave her. In front, the wooded hills blocked out the horizon. The road dipped and brought them suddenly into an Oopen "Go and enjoy yoursel!‘ at Siswa. I shan‘t be long away." She spent the weekâ€"end with the Bluetts whose house, one of the two or three still standing, was now imidway between the ruins of the old station and the new one which was growing up, on the other side of the lake around the polo ground. The following week passed without word from Mr. Gedge. Sonia had proâ€" mised Philip and the Bluetts to go back on Saturday if he had not returned. As he was determined in his trip. she could only see that Hoslain took all he might need in case of malaria, and imâ€" press on him to send a message at once if Mr. Gedge were not weoll. She sugâ€" gested going with him herself, but it was no use. Early on Saturday morning, she went to give out the day‘s grain, and was reâ€" turning across the compound when she saw Philip coming to meet her. As soon as she was ngar him, she said "Uncle Justin?" "IT‘ve had a wire from Hosian. Sahib ill, Come quickly. He evidently recâ€" koned on my driving out to you. How soon can you be ready?
