much interest in their humble lives.
Lady Lansdowne would not tell how she
found out the murderer. She said that she
made 1t a rule never to talk about her ex-
cursions In native costume, lest she should
get her native guides and friends into
trouble with their own people.
Her husband was famous for two things
during his stay in India-his dread of the
Russians and his courage in tiger shoot
ing. He saw the hand of the Russians
everywhere-in Afghanistan, in Persia, in
Kashmir, on the Pamirs, even in native
riots in Calcutta. His subordinates used
to laugh at his Russophobia.
81 really believe" said one of them,
that Lansdowne thinks in his heart of
hearts that the Russians cause the famines
and the floods which trouble us every now
and then"
1t is natural that such a viceroy should
grow into the foreign minister who has
flung down to Russia the boldest challenge
uttered by a British statesman since the
Fashoda incident.
Lord Lansdowne spent large sums of
money while in India in developing the
Secret Service department. He hoped il
would circumvent the malevolent designs
which he ascribed to Russia. Lady Lans-
downe took great interest in the work, and
interviewed several Of the principal spies
when they came into Calcutta or Simla
with reports of their observations in Per
STA, Kafiristan, Baluchistan and other coun-
tries where Russian agents were supposed
to be busy.
Sportsmen in India still talk of Lord
Lansdowne's skill as a "shikarri' hunter
of big game), and the natives speak with
bated breath of some of his exploits.

When a sufficient amount Of petals has
been collected, put in pretty cases made OF

Is desirable, a boiling cloth cover. en- oroid-

For rose syrup, collect fresh petals each

When enough have been collected for a

sugar in the proportion Of a pound to each

He is the bravest Of all the sahibs l have
met. 1 nave seen him follow a rounded
tiger alone and on foot through the Jungle,
and go right into the dark cave where it
crouched at bay. Nothing could be seen
of the beast except it's two glazing eyes
shining out of the darkness. The Sahib-
Bahadur put a bullet between them as the
tiger sprung upon him, killing it instantly"
Before they went to India in 1888 Lord
and Lady Lansdowne pleased the Canadian
people by their friendly and unassuming
manners, which were in marked contrast
to those of former governors general and
their wives. At a garrison ball at Halifax
the colonel of the regiment. who was CIV
Ing the dance, came up to Lady Lansdowne
and said:
Lady Lansdowne, won't you give me a
dance, please? I'm tired of dancing with
these silly little colonial girls. They have
no style. l believe I'm engaged to one of
them for the next dance, but you might
be kin enough to rescue me-"
Lady Lansdowne replied, in tones loud
enough for everybody to hear, that the
colonel was unfit to associate with any de-
cent people, colonial or otherwise, and con-
cluded:
IF this is the way you treat your guests
l will relieve you of the presence of one
OF them at once" Then she ordered her
carriage and left the ball.
