rents. Not far away it seemed to him
as if cloud had actually begun to
fall upon the earth. The cloud turned
out to be locusts. The planters and
cattle raisers soon appeared with their
men and gathered them in bags. They
smoked the insects to kill them, and
then dried them in the sun, after
which they were fed to the dogs,
chickens, pigs, goats and cattle. The
traveller found that oxen and horses
are especially fond of locusts, and get
fat and strong during the locust sea.

CHAPTER. VI

1t mad been morning Of languOrous
heat, and now noon-the long, breath
less Indian noon-was at it's meridian,
when, on day in May, Don Gordon
arrived at Rawal Pindi and rode ont
under a burning sun to Lille Der
vents house.
The durwan met him with evident
surprise and the intimation that "the
gates were closed" (polite Hindostan1
for mot at home'), and for an instant
Don>s heart stood still, with a vague
fear of he knew not what.
Then suddenly he remembered It was
the hour Of siesta, time when visits
are never paid in India; and, reas-
sured, he dismounted from his horse.
and, presenting his card with the OBJ
servation that "the memsahib would
be sure to see him on receipt of that"
he passed through the vestibule with
masterful step, and went unannounced
into the drawing room to await Lilies
coming.
How long he waited he knew not.
He walked to the window and noted,
as the mind will note the veriest trifes
at moments of tense excitement, that
the great adjutant birds were still doz-
ing in the sunshine, and the peacocks
were spreading their gorgeous plumes
on the terrace, as when last he looked
Out upon it from this same window.

pink; the baubel, with it's perfumed
bells of gold; the jasmine and acacia.
luxuriant in their wild beauty: the
blue jays and the crested yellow SPAR
rows, fitting from shrub to shrub; the
brilliant butterflies, sailing through the
voiceless air-all was unchanged, only
the fair Indian home would know its
master never more. - = =.
Never more! There was something
terrible in the conviction, something
appalling to Don to remember that
death, chill and stern, and awful, lay
beyond this warm young world Of bud
ding beauty. .t = r l.. s5>.s "
A sharp groap fell from his 4 lips,
stif1ed even as it escaped them; for
the Portiere had :rustled, and he turned
quickly to find he was no longer alone

had risen from her siesta. Her golden

Her Love of Adornment and Extrava.
gance In Gratifying 1t.
The love Of the Empress Josephine
for dress, and her extravaganza in
gratifying it, are matters of history,
Her annual allowance of 100000 francs
was not sufficient to pay for the graf
ification of her vanity, and year after
year her debts increased in the most
alarming fashion. Dress with her was
the absorbing object and interest in
life, and she was unwearied in her ef.
forts to preserve and enhance he1
beauty. Three times day she changed
her linen, and she never wore stock
ings that were not absolutely new.
Huge baskets were brought to he1
every morning containing a selection
Of gowns, shawls and hats, and from
these she chose what she would wear
during the day. She possessed be-
tween 300 and 400 shawls. one OF
which she wore in the morning, draped
about her beautiful shoulders with
wonderful grace. Her. evening toilet
was as careful as that OF the morning:
then her hair was adorned with flow.
ers, pearls or precious stones. The
smallest assembly was always the oc.
casion for buying new costume, and
that in spite of having almost incredi.
BILE stores of dresses at the: various
palaces. For shawls the empress had
such a penchant that she bought all
that were brought to her, utterly re.

the family about to sit down to sup.

And every thought and deed control"
Roddy quoted gaily, Then. with tender
passion, he clasped the hand he held
still tighter, and spoke more gravely,
What was that line you repeated a
moment ago, DIP"
The waters swell before a bolster
GUS storm; but leave it all to Cod"
As they slowly made their way along
the esplanade homeward, the news
paper boys were calling the evening
edition Of the London papers, which
had just arrived from Ryde by the last
mail for the night, and Roddy called
an urchin to his side, his cheek paling
involuntarily as the lusty shout caught
his ear: Rebel firing into Bara Camp.
British officer killed; orderly wound
ed"
He hastily opened the sheet and
stood still under a gas lamp to scan
its columns; whilst Diana, with
anxious eyes, looked over his shoulder.
For, peaceful as it had been on the In
dian frontier for some months now,
her thoughts were ever quick to fly
to Don and Lilies father, of whom
any hour might bring disastrous news.
A hoarse exclamation burst from the
lips OF both as, simultaneously, hus-
band and wife caught sight of the fatal
paragraph.
The name of the officer was Capt.
Derwent of the Gordon Highlanders!
And far, far away the red Afghan
sun had set amid somber clouds above
the snow-clad SUBMITS of Tirah and
the white tents of the British camp in
the Bara Strath.
There had been rain and thunder all
day, and the clouds had gathered In
dense masses, edged by the radiance of
the hidden moon. And athwart the
clouds now and then shot CLEANS of
vivid lightning, falling with weird SOL
emnity upon a coffin, draped with the
Union Jack, carried shoulder high by
stalwart Highlanders.
Ahe cortege was preceded by pipers
playing the low and wailing dirge of
''Lochaber no more" and followed by
a string of officers and soldiers wear
ing long, spectral-like cloaks, and
walking with slow steps and heads
downbent.
Soon-ah, how soon!-it was all
over and all that was left of their GAL
liant comrade was committed to that
lonely nullah, "In sure and certain
hope of the resurrection of eternal
life
No farewell shots were fired; but
the captains own detachment present
ed arms, and the pipers awoke the dim
valley once more with their pibroch;
but it was ''The Land O. the Leal" now
that they played.
And as Don Gordon turned from that
lonely grave, and pictured the image
of her who held the dead so dear, for
one wild moment he felt he would
sooner, far sooner lie there, too, than
face the anguish of Lilies pure eyes;
While in his heart rang the chaplain's
words, like the cry of lost soul;
Deliver us not into the pains OF
eternal DEATH"

To plaster the aching back,

Doan's kidney Pills stopped an aggra-
waited case OF kidney complaint in the
summer of 1899, made that fact known
to the residents Of Denver, so that 9TH
ers who had kidney trouble in any of
itc various forms might know what
course to pursue to get relief. The
opinion / then expressed is the same
today as it was when Doan's Kidney
