CUPID'S ARROWS.

Once upon time there lived Mt Simla
very pretty girl, the daughter Of a
poor but honest district and sessions
judge She was good girl, hut could
not help knowing her power and using
1t. Her mamma was very anxious about
her daughters future, as all good mann
mas should be.
When a man Is "a commissioner and q
bachelor and has the right Of wearing
| openwork jam tart jewels in gold and
| enamel on his clothes, and of going
through a door before every one except "A
member of council, a lieutenant govern
Or, or viceroy, he is worth marrying.
At least, that is what ladies say. There
was "A commissioner in Simla i'll those
days who was, and wore, and did all |
have said
DE was plain man-an ugly man
the ugliest man in Asia, with two ex-
captions. His was face to dream about
and try to carve on pipe head after
ward. His name was Saggott-Barr-
Saggott-Anthony Barr Saggott and six
letters to follow. Departmentally, he
was one of the best the government of
India owned. Social he was like blan
dishing gorilla.
When he turned his attentions to
Miss Beighton, l believe that Mrs. Beigh-
ton wept with delight at the reward
Providence had sent her in her old age
Mr.. Beighton held his tongue He
was an easy going man.
Now, u commissioner is very rich
His pay is beyond the dreams Of avarice
is so enormous that he can afford to
save and scrape in way that would
almost discredit a member Of council.
Most commissioners are mean, but Barr
Saggott was an exception. He enter
tanned royalty. He horsed himself we'll,
he gave dances, he was power in the
land, and he behaved as such.
Consider that everything l am writ
ing OF took place i'll an almost prehstor-
&c era in the history Of British India.
Some folk may remember the years be-
fore lawn tennis was born when we all
played croquet. There were seasons be-
fore that if you will believe me, when
even croquet had not been invented and
archery-which was revived in England
In lS44--was as great pest as lawn
tennis is now. People talked learnedly
about holding" and CLOSING"
"steles, " "retiexed bows, $50 pound
bows, " backed" or self yew bows, I"
as we talk about rallies, " "volleys. )"
"smashes, " returns" and 90 ounce
rackets. "
Miss Beighton shot divinely over la
dies distance-60 yards, that is-and
was acknowledged the best lady archer
in Simla Men call her Diana of Tara.
Devi. -
Barr Saggott paid her great attention,
and, as | have said, the heart of her
mother was uplifted in consequence.
Kitty Beighton took matters more calm
ly' 1t was pleasant to be singled out by
commissioner with letters after his
name and to fill the hearts of other
girls with bad feelings.
But there was no denying the fact
that Barr SaRRott was phenomenally
ugly, and all his attempts to adorn him
self only made him more grotesaue. He
was not christened 1.-The Langur"-
which means gray ape-fOr nothing. 1t
was pleasant, Kitty thought, to have
him at her feet, hut il was better to es
