correspondent, as the close student of
his works will readily believe. His pro-
gress TO the editorial chair was rapid,
and at the age of q he was assisting in
the production of the Lahore Journal,
in which the early works of the Young
genius were set up by an upapprecia-
tive staff of native comps, presided
over by a Mohammedan foreman who
frequently cut Kipling's sensitive
young soul to the quick by the cold
blooded manner in which he spoke of
the verses that the future poet of fame
was then grinding out in obscurty. In
telling the story Kipling says:
He would come to me with a pleased
expression of countenance, and, appar-
emily thinking he was paying me
great compliment, say: You poem just

Kipling, doesn't like TO find the serifs
of his fs cut away to make long SIS"
The life Kipling led in these early
days is described in his most popular
story, THE Man Who Would Be King"

duty to put the paper to bed last A
king or courtier, or courtesan or
community was going to die or get a
new constitution or do something that
was important on the other side of the
world and the paper was to be held
open until the latest possible minute in

pitch black night, as sitting as a June
night could be; red-hot wind was
tearing anon- the tinder-dried trees

after, in coliahora ton With his friend

of Baiestier but he thought more of
Balestier's sister, and in 1892 he mar

Brattleboro, VT, where there was
plenty of fine bracing air with the sur
roundings that kipling loved. He
named the house THE Nauahka," and
he retired there from the world, putting

was happy as the day was long. He
was an enthusiastic angler. but although
his writings would give that impress

delighted sporting men by his stories

supports natural cleverness with eter-
