The copper country evening news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 18??-1907, 1896-03-11

Three weeks later Peythroppe dined
with the three men. and The Gazette Of
India came in. Peythroppe found to his
surprise that be had been gazetted
months leave Don't ask me how this
was managed. believe firmly that, II
Mrs. Hauksboe gave the order. the whole
great Indian administration would stand
on its head. The three men had also
months leave each. Peythroppe put The
Gazette down and said bad words. Then
there came from the compound the soft
"pad-pad'' Of thieves cam
els, T" the Bikaneer breed that don't bub-
BILE and howl when they sit down and
get up.
After that, don't know what hap
pened. This much IL certain-Peythroppe
appeared-vanished like smoke-apd
the long foot rest chair in the house Of
the three men was broken to splinters,
also a bedstesd departed from one Of
the bedrooms
Mrs. Hauksbee said that Mr.. Pey-
throppe was shooting in Rajputsna with
the three men 90 we were compelled to
believe her.
At the end Of the month, Peythropps
was gazetted 90 days extension of leave,
but there was wrath and lamentation In
the house Of Castriss. The marriage day
had been fixed, bat the bridegroom new
er came, and the D'Silvas. Pereiras and
Ducketts lifted their voices and Knocked
Honorary Lieutenant Castries ~ one
who had been basely imposed upon. Mrs
Hanksbee went 10 the wedding and was
much sstonished when Peythroppe did
not appear. After seven weeks, Pey-
throppe and the three men returned
from Rajputans Peythroppe was in
hard, tough condition, rather white and
more self contained than ever.
One of the three men had . cut On his
nose, caused by the kick Of q gun.
Twelve bores kick rather curiously.
Then came Honorary Lieutenant Cas-
tries, seeking for the blood Of his per-
fidious son-in- law TO be. He said things
vulgar and impossible" things
which showed the raw. rough "ranker"
below the honorary. and fancy Pcy-
throppe's eyes were opened. Anyhow.
he held his peace till the end, when he
spoke briefly. Honorary Lieutenant Cas-
tries asked for peg" before he went
away to die or bring . suit for breach
Of promise.
Miss Castries was a very good girl
She said that she would have no breach
of promise suits. She said that II she
was not q lady she was refined enough
10 know that ladies kept their broken
hearts to themselves. and, ~ she ruled
her parents. nothing happened. Later
on. she married most respectable and
gentlemanly person. he travelled for IN
enterprising firm in Calcutta and wa
all that good husband should be.
So Peythroppe came to his right mind
again and did much good work and
| was honored by all who knew him. One
| Of these days he will marry, but he will
marry a sweet pink and white maiden
on the government house list, with lit
tie money and some influential conneo
tions, rs every wise man should. And
he will never, all bis life. tell her what
happened during the seven weeks Of biz
shooting tour in Rajputana.
But Just think how much trouble and
expense-for camel hire Is not cheap.
and those Bikaneer brutes had to be fed
like humans might have been saved by
q properly conducted matrimonial de.
partment, under the control Of the d.
rector general Of education, but CORE
spending direct with the vioeroy. -Rud-
