sand dacolts ana sunereQ a severe
misfortune. There was not only a
heavy loss in killed and wounded, but
the treasure and a portion of the sup
plies were captured and run off.
The remnant Of the train returned
to us and went into camp until re-en-
forcements could come up, and the
bullet headed, tyrannical Colonel KEN
BILE, whose obstinacy and recklessness
had brought about the disaster, pro-
ceeded to make it redhot for every
body. Any set of men except British
soldiers would have mutinied and
taken his life. Raging over his de-
feat and feeling his helplessness, he or
dered out detachments and command,
ed them to bring in every native they
could overhaul. 1t was well populat-
ed country, with hundreds of loyal ma
tives to be picked up, but the colonel
proceeded to look upon each and every
one as guilty of having had a hand
in the attack on the train. More than
a score were shot OF hung offhand,
while others were whipped at the post
or ordered out of the district. 1t was
reign Of terror for three weeks, and
the end was a fitting one.
Ny own detachment one day brought
in mere boy whom we had found
covering in a thicket l do not believe
he had the slightest knowledge of the
ambush or took any part in it. He was
timid lad, whose father had been one
Of the first ones hung, and he was so
frightened that but little could be got
out of him. The colonel bulldozed and
browbeat him and finally ordered his
execution on the ground that he was a
spy. It was only when he knew that
he must die that the young fellow
braced up and showed his courage, and
as he was being led away to execution
he said to the colonel:
"Sahib Colonel, am innocent, and
you viii be punished for my death.
You may shoot me and bury my body,
but my spirit will follow you to the
grave.
HaR an hour later he was dead, but
ne. was the last one to be executed.
That evening as the colonel entered the
officers, mess tent for supper all of us
noticed that he had aqueer. troubled
look on his face and that he cast fur
tive glances behind him. After bit
he tried to be jocular, but the effort
was a failure. He said something
about not feeling well, but nobody dar-
ed question him. At midnight that

colonel called the sentinel into his
tent. and with white face and trem-
bling voice and the perspiration stand

the chest?'

searched in vain and assured Colonel
Kemble that no boy was present. He
tried to turn it off with a laugh, but in
less than "a hours every man in camp
knew that the colonel was haunted by
a specter. He made a brave effort to
bluff it out, but it was useless. The
specter followed at his heels by day

BURIED THOUGHTS.

How often does the chopper Of some stone,
While toiling at his task of heave and shock,
Find in the heart space of a severed rock
The impress of some fern that once had grown,
Full of aspiring life and color tone,
Deep in the forest where the shadows flock,
Till, caught within the adamantine block,
1t lay for ages hidden and unknown!
So many beauteous thought blooms in the mind
But, un&pressed, droops down into the soul
And lies unuttered in the silence there
Until some opener of the soul shall find
That fernlike, fossiled dream complete and whole
And marvel at its beauty past compare!

THE SPECTER
OF GORUCKPOOR

100000 5000 COCO o00o COCO o0S
The garrison of Goruckpoor in the
province of Ondh, India, in the year
1862 consisted of 1000 men, and about
half of these were split up into small
detachments and stationed here and
there in the north to keep order among
the hill men and punish raiding dacoits.
Dacoits are bands Of robbers under
command of a chief who holds a re-
ligious influence over them, and they
are yet the pests of India along the
foothills Of the Himalayas. They are
daring men and hard fighters, and very
few British soldiers who fall into their
hands are spared.
We Of the Fourth, comprising 80
men, were stationed during the year
1862. almost as far north as the Dor
ders Of Nepal We had plenty Of Skin
mishing with the dacoits for a time,
but finally dealt them such heavy
blows that they drew off and left us
in peace. We were in the midst of
what seemed to be peace when the
government dispatched large train
Of treasure and military supplies from
Goruckpoor for Ghoorka. Colonel KEN
BILE, who had been ordered to take
command Of the garrison at the latter
place, being just back from a years
leave of absence in England, was with
the train, and the whole was escorted
by 900 caYalrymen. The route for the
