"Look at him!" Leonie said. "One would think he understood the meanâ€" ng of every stroke." "And so he does!" Struan answered. " ‘Dukse‘ is an old polo pony â€" he‘s played for years and knows the game. And loves it!" Chrissie Struan‘s primroseâ€"patternâ€" ed chniffon under a pale yellow silk coat was new for the occasion, yet somehow, leaning back listlessly in her canvas chair, she looked quenched, colouriess. Leonie Valence, standing beside her, erect against one of the pillars of the pavilion, made the yellow gown seem almost dowdy beside her dress of delâ€" phinium blue, with a long chiffon scart to match draped around her huge black hat, framing the clear paleness of her face. Her look, intent and interested, was fixed upon Struan‘s pony, from which he had just dismounted in order to Join the group by the pavilion, a comâ€" pact, cleanlyâ€"built little chestnut. CHAPTER THREE INDIAN GALA I4L was a gala day at the Gymkhana Club. The ground was crowded; the long side adjoining the pavilion had the appearance of a herbaceous bordâ€" er in full bloom, so gayâ€"colored were the dresses of the women, their silks, organdies, and muslins. _ MONDAY.

The Maharaâ€" jah‘s voicte had only the faintest inâ€" tonation to differentiate it from that of a European. Struan returned the greeting stiffly; it was Chrissie who made the introduction. "I simply daren‘t have my austere Republicanism undermined any furâ€" ther." Wilson Hall joined them laughâ€" inz. ‘"Can you imagine it, Mrs. Struâ€" an, they gave me a goldon bowl studâ€" ed with turquoises, â€"when I wanted a pcot for turpentine to clean my brushes." "Well, we shall be delighted to have you back, shan‘t we, Ranny?" Chrissic said,. smiling. "Oh, haven‘t you, Leonie?" Chrissie looked up. "No, of course, you didn‘t come with Ranny and me to pay clur duty call, and he‘s been away from Khotalghar ever since. Well, we‘ll inâ€" troduce you now; he‘s nearly as resâ€" plendent as his car. It‘s rather like a modern version of Cinderella‘s coach. There‘s the Maharajah himself getting outâ€"Oh, and Mr. Hall. I wonder if he‘s leaving Khotalghar for the presâ€" ent, if he‘s coming back to us. I do hope so, don‘t you, Leonie?" A handsome man with his pale olive skin, longâ€"lashed black eyes, and small inkâ€"black moustache, curled away from the full, beautifullyâ€"cut lips. He wore a white silk suit of perfect tailoring, and gleaming patent leather shoes. But his head was covered with an exquisâ€" itelyâ€"folded piuggri of blue silk threadâ€" ed with silver, clasped at the side with a single enormous emerald, whist anâ€" other, equally large, held the folds of his white silk hunting stock. "Ah, I am delighted! Mr. Hall has spoken of you, Miss Valence, as a comâ€" patriot. And now I wonder less than ever that he decided to return to Pathâ€" apore." "Oh, well, pijoneer work of any kind is always good fun, T supose. Hullo!lâ€" who‘s the new arrival? No, I nsedn‘t ask. There‘s only one such car owner in the neighborhoodâ€"His Highness the Maharajah Zindia, G.C.S.I., and all the rest of it." "I‘ve not seen him yet," Leonie spoke careléessly. But Leonie Valenc2, with lips pressâ€" ed close and gravely appraising eyes, was gazing at the tall figure which had preceded Wilson Hall from the car. Then h> laughed. ‘"‘This is my friend, Miss Valence Your Higshness." "Of course," Struan‘s tones brusque. "But you‘re losing all the polo, Hall,. and it‘s worth watchinz; the best match this season." that at present!" Chrissie glanced up at the tall, wellâ€"knit figure beside her. ‘*You‘re quite passable." "Ah, but flying tends to fat. I‘m Struan broke off, staring away over the polo ground to where a faintly blue, serrated line of hills rinzed the horizon to the north. "Doesn‘t my little friend in the car wiant to see the game, Your Highness?"

It was hrugged his shoulders and She smiled down at the little boy as she spoke and he responded instantly. slipping his hand confidently into hers. "Surely you can carry out that purâ€" pose, whatever it is, just as well by staying with ius," Struan‘s voice was low and harsh. Having spoken, he set his lips, stood staring straight in front Oof him. "I don‘t fancy I can.. Perhaps life with you and Chrissie is too easy," a smil2 flickered round Leonte‘s mouth as she looked from one to the other. "If one road turns out a blind alley, there are always others." * "Listening to you, Miss Valence, I can quite understand how extremely annoying the Sphinx was when she wouldn‘t give a straight answer!‘" Hall complained with mock exasperation. His effort to lighton the atmosphere was a failure. Struan continued to glower. Chrissie looked wistful and unhappy, only the Maharajah laughed softly, showing his splendid teeth. "Is it your inference that Miss Valâ€" enco> belongs to the East?" he said. "If so, I take it as a compliment . . . And I hope that she will give me, at enco> belongs to the East?" he said. "If so, I take it as a compliment . . . And I hope that she will give me, at least, that straight answer you speak of, when I have consulted my mother.

"I am half French by birth and teacher by profession, as my friends here will tell you. Also, I am extremeâ€" ly fond of I‘m sure I should get on with the Prince." "You see, we are friends already, your Highness," Leonie raised her head, met the Maharajah‘s dark eyes with her steady grey ones. spoke after a perceptible pause. "I seeâ€"yest. Would you really be willing to become Krishn‘s governess?" "I think so. I came to India for a certain purpose, not only for a pleasâ€" ure trip; I can‘t afford to waste time." ‘"Does he spcak English?" Leonie asked, and her tones held the umnisâ€" takable interest of a real child lover. "Not yet. I want him to learn both English and French before he goes to Europe for his education and I am trying to find a suitable tutor." "Would you consider a governess, in â€" stead, Your Highness? Because if so, we might ke able to come to some arâ€" rangement," Leonie spoke so bluntly, so unconcernedly that Chrissie glanced at her as thoush uncertain whether she "We will both think the plam over th>n," Leonie acquiessed. "I quite see that the Maharani must approve." "Good! And I have a proposal to make!" The Maharajah swung round to face Chrissie, "Mrs. Struan, you did nct sos my house and gardens at their best, and I should wish Miss Valence to visit Khotalgharâ€"and my motherâ€" before she comes to a decision. So . .. here is my plan. Allow me a few days for preparation and I will give a ball â€"a gala." It is quite time that I enâ€" tertained all my athapore friends again.

"This is my only son, Miss Valence," Zindia said, his voic» and eyes growâ€" ing deepor, softer. He added someâ€" thing in his own tongue, and the little boy went chediently from one to the other of the group, extending a tiny brown hand. With the stateliness of a luxury linâ€" er the huge car purred out of the onâ€" closure and away along the redâ€"dusted road to Khotalghar, Krishn‘s small face starinz from the window. "TI‘ll think T‘H go home and lie down for a bit before dinner," Chrissie rose wearily as she spoke. "Are you comâ€" ing, Leonie?" "I‘ll just look at the papers in the reading room firstâ€"unless you want me,." Leonie answered. Chrissie laughed, buf under the lightness of her words Hall felt that the girl really wished to be alone. As for Struan, he only nodded absently.

The harvest was good. Rings, jewels, gold dust and nugâ€" gets had been recovered to the tune of several thousands of dollars in value. The 1938 harvest of the later was scant. The buildings which they prospected and the sidewalks which they tore up were not on the sites of principal activity in the earlies,. A few coins and miggets, with some gold dust, were recovered and the effort was not reasonably compensated. However, the newcomers got a thrill out of it.
