LANDLORDS OWN STORY
OF HIS AWFUL SUFFERING

the left one especially, were being des-
located and my nose scorched.
This ceased and l was enabled to
open my eyes. The spectacle before
me was overwhelming BY the Pom
bo's" tent stood in a row the most VII
famous brutes have ever set eyes
upon. One. a powerful, repulsive indi-
vidual, held in his hand great knob
bed mallet, used for fracturing bones;
another carried bow and arrows; a
third held big two-handed sword,
while others made a display Of various
ghastly instruments Of torture. The
crowd. thirsting for my blood, formed
up in semicircle, leaving room for
me to see the parade OF the torture I'M
plements that awaited me, and, as my
eyes roamed from one figure to an
various implements to show that they
were preparing for action"
The elimination Of the tortures was
to have been beheadment by a naked
sword, but curious circumstance en-
abled him to escape with his life and
those Of his followers. The reason was
because after they had stretched Mr..
Landor and Man sing on q rack with
their feet tied to a log and their hands
to post high in the air, and allowed
them to remain there for twenty-four
hours, 1t was discovered In examining
| his hands that the web between the
fingers was quite high. HE who pos
sesses such fingers has, according to
the Thibetans," says Mr.. Landor, "a
charmed life, and no matter how much
one tries, no harm can be done to him.
Apart from tho question whether there
was much charm or not in my life In
Thibet, there is no doubt that this trif-
ling superstition did much towards
fastening the 'Pombo's' decision as te
what was to be our fate"
They were accordingly taken to ths
frontier ard allowed to return to civ

Green Golf Cont.


Is the red golf coat ito so the way
of all other fashions? 1t hardly
seems credible at first thought and
yet there are signs Of it, for a new
golf coat has appeared and 1t has won
popularity in measure at a bound.
says the New York Herald. 1t has
been taken up by people who are au-
thorities at golf-the social end of it,
at least-and whose words have some
weight when 1t comes to determin-
ing the matters CT dress.
The new coat is Of dark green. In
cut and general fashion it shows hard
ly a change from the old, which. 1t
has been conceded. is we'll adapted to
the game. The cloth, too. is very
much the same. But the change in
color is remarkable. A year ago gole
would have been thought impossible
without bright red coats. Now the
coats of dark green arc coming in with
little protest on the part Of the play
ers. They seem to be accepted as
quite the correct thing though the
few already on the field are somewhat
stared at.
As matter Of fact the dark green
coat looks more in harmony with ths
turf Of the links and seems better
suited to the game. though It is, Of
course, not nearly go picturesque.

but most effectively and 1t Is best re-
produced in his own words:
1T was in reality the wooden frame
Of very high backed saddle, from the
back of which some five or six sharp
iron spikes stuck out horizontally. AS
I sat on this implement of torture, the
spikes caught me in the small OF the
back. My guard having been augment
ed by twenty or thirty mounted men.
with muskets and swords, we set on
at furious pace. A horseman riding
in front of me led my pony by means
Of a cord, as my hands were manaclea
behind my back, and thus we Travelled
across country for miles. But for those
awful spikes in the saddle the ride
would not have been so very bad, tof
the pony rode was fine, spirited an
imal, and the country around was Gu
rious and interesting.
CAS- we rode was shot at from be-
| hind. The bullet narrowly missed me-
whizzing past my left ear. Probably
the speed at which my animal was pro-
ceeding saved ne, as the marksman
could not take very steady aim, hut

Ing. / managed to maintain my scat,
though the spikes In the saddle were
! lacerating the lower part of my spine
horribly. Nor was this all.
Then in order to accelerate our
speed, a horseman rode by my side
lashing my pony to make 1t 60 its
hardest. Meanwhile the horseman who
held the cord did his utmost to pull me
out OF the saddle, no doubt In the hope
of seeing me trampled to death by the
cohort behind me. AS l leaned my body
forward SO as to maintain my seat. and
with my arms pulled violently back
wards by the rope, the flesh was
rubbed off my hands and knuckles BY
the chain Of the handouts. In places
the bone was exposed, and, of course
every tug brought me into forcible
contact with the spikes and inflicted
deeper wounds. The cord, thougl
strong, eventually and unexpected!
gave way. The soldier who was pull
ing at the other end was clumsily un
horsed. and l was myself all bu
