a curious xale, tho Scene OF Which Is
Laid In India.
Az Indian up country paper tells a
curious tale. A rich lady, with her two
children, both infants. was going, it is
said, in her own "eklza'' from Ramna-
gar to place in the center of the Bar
tract. The driver was a trustworthy
servant of the family, and it was for
this reason that the lady had not divest
ed herself of the ornaments she usually
wore. But the sight of the jewels was
too much for him, and at an exception
ally lonely spot in that lonely country
he suddenly asked his mistress to hand
him her valuables. On her suspecting
his real designs and hesitating the mis-
creant showed himself in his real col
ors, and made her and her little ones,
who could barely toddle about, get
down. The horrible thought that was
working in his brain, that of hiding his
crime by means of murder, had given
his face sardOnic look, which made
the poor woman tremble.
Then the fiend bound her hand and
foot, and informed her that he would
first kill her children and then do her
to death. By her earnest entreaties she
prevailed over him to begin with her
first. He had an AK in his hand, with
which he aimed a blow at her, but the
head being loose it flew away and fell
few PAGES off, the handle only remain
ing in his grasp. He stepped into the
grass to look for it and disappeared be-
hind mound. She waited her certain
doom with all her nerves ON the strain.
She gradually fell into swoon, and
when she came round the first thing she
saw was her husband bending over her
and her babies crying and Juggling at
her clothes.
After she had gone a namele less uneasi-
ness seized her husband. He could not
reason away his vague fears, try as he
would, and at last he mounted his horse
and followed the "ekka." He had pro-
ceeded but a few miles when the dread
full sight Of his wife and children living
bound up with cords on the ground met
his eyes, And the story that his wife
told him CONCEALED his blood with hor-
ror. They both then, drawn by an ire
pressible curiosity, went toward the di-
rection that the miscreant had taken to
pick up his Ak, and think of their sur
prise when they saw his corpse already
lying, blue, putrid and bloated, the
flies buzzing over it in clouds. Retribu-
tion had come in the shape of "karun-
dia" of the deadly variety known as
khaki, rare even in those snake in
Tested parts, whose bite instantaneously
paralyzes the victim and decomposes
the body in an hour London Globe.
