"A good government, like good coat,

is, those who are troubled with either

Without doubt the longevity Of the
ladies of the ballet first called the attention
of American observers to the virtues OF

cd that if ballet dancer can be well ana

physical exercise which is inscparapie

fills the lungs. OF course, it is detri-

question ELECTED exactly the same answer

that "this place is like your European

Gunga Dass had been educated at a mis-
siou school and, as he himself admitted,
had he only changed his religion ''liks q
wise man." might have avoided the living
grsve.which was now his portion. But as
long as was with him / fancy he was
happy.
Here was Sahib, q Representative of the
dominant race, helpless as a child and
completely at the mercy of his native
neighbors. In deliberate, lazy way be
set himself to torture me as school-boy
would devote rapturous half hour to
watching the agonies Of an mpaled beetle,
or as ferret in blind burrow might glne
himself comfortably tothe neck of rabbit.
The burden Of his conversation was that
there was no escape "of no kind what
ever" and that should stay here till
died and was "tbrown on the sand" If il
were possible to forejudgc the cenyersa-
ton of the Damned on the advent of a new
soul in that abode, I should say that they
would speak as Gunga Dass did to me
throughout that long afternoon. was
powerless to protest or answer: all my
energies being devoted to a struggle
against the inexplicable terror that threat
ened to overwhclm me again and again.
can compare he feeling to nothing except
the struggles of man against the over
powering nausea of the Channel passage
only my agony was of the spirit and in
finitely more terrible.
As the day wore on the inhabitants be
gan to appear in full strength to catch the
rays of the afternoon sun, which were now
sloping in at the mouth of the crater. They
assembled in little knots, and talked among
themselves without even throwing a glance
in my direction. About four o'clock, as
far as could judge, Gunga Dass rose and
dived into his lair for a moment emerging
with live crow in his hands. The wretch
ed bird was in most draggled and deplor
able condition, but seemed to be in no way
afraid Of it's master.
advancing cautiously to the river front,
Gunga Dass stepped from tussock to tus.
sock until he had reached smooth patch
of sand directly in tie line of the boats
fire. The occupants of the boat took nc
notice. Here he stopped, and with a
couple Of dexterous turns of the wrists
pegged the bird on its back with out
stretched wings.
As was only natural, the crow began to
shrek at once and beat the air with its
claws. In few seconds the clamor had
attracted the attention of bevy of wild
crows on shoal few hundred yards away,
where they were discussing something that
looked like corpse. Halt dozen crows
few oyer at once to see what was going
on, and also, as it afterward proved, to at
tack the pinioned bird.

hold Of me atresh, and / had to struggle
against it with all my might. Gunga Dass
was oifensiYely jocular till told him that

whatever TO me should strangle him
where he sat. This silenced him until
silence became insupportable, and bade
him say something. -..

SAFETY AT LAST.

1t was couple of leather punkah ropes
knotted together, with loop at one end,
] slipped the loop over my head and under
my arms; heard Dunnoo urge something
forward; was conscious that was being
dragged face downward, up the steep sand
slope, and the dext instant found myself
choked and half fainting on the sand hills
overlooking the crater. Dunnoo, with
his face ashy gray in the moonlight, i'm
plored me not TO stay but TO get back to
my tent at once.
II seems that he had tracked Pornic's
footprints fourteen miles across the sands
to the crater had returned and told my
servants, who fatty refused to meddle
with any one, white or black, pnce fallen
into the hideous Village Of the Dead,
