EAST INDIAN METHODS.
A Servants sabtie but Unsuccessful
scheme For Revenge.

| scheme For Revenge.
A trade journal tells story OF an
adventure which nearly cost one OF
Its correspondents In India his life The
Indian merchant was a wealthy man
who had got on well with the atives,
but two OF his servants had had a
quarrel over a girl whom they both
wooed. The merchant lnterfercd in the
fight. The unsuccessful suitor. LaJ.
began TO make trouble, and his rival,
the husband, warned the merchant
sgainst him. Nothing happened for
some months. Then the merchant
went away on business. On bis re-
turn be was told that Laj had been
caught in his bedroom and locked up.
In the east this meant trouble. The
merchant called his servants and had
thorough search made OF the house
They examined every trunk. bureau
and bedstead, every picture, statue and
crevice In the wall and crack In the
door, expecting TO find hooded cobra
or other poisonous reptile. They scrti-
tinlzed every knob, handle and gar.
ment to see II II had been smeared
with poison or with juices which at
tracted venomous creatures. Then
they searched the wine cellar the pan.
try and the storeroom. But they found
nothing.
The merchant was tired and after
eating went to the cabinet where he
kept his cigars. II was a large case OF
teak and plate glass, with an old fash.
ioned silver Indian lock.
AS he was about to insert the key In
the keyhole LaJ's successful rival, who
had been active In the search, cried,
Look out, sahib; some one has been
meddling with that lockv'
They examined the keyhole and
found traces Of wax. When they
opened the case the merchant found
everything apparently untouched. Five
boxes Of cigars were unopened. He had
opened the sixth before he went away
and removed few cigars. As he took
this box up he noticed on 1t the marks
Of fingers.
The cigars looked as II they had not
been disturbed. He was about to take
one when he noticed that something
was wrong with the head. A second
and third were like the first. In each
a small, almost imperceptible rose
thorn had bean inserted, and on It was
a dab Of brown slime still moist the
same color as the cigar.
DO not touch them, sahib," said the
Indian. They are poisoned"
The merchant sat down and wrote
note to the police. In half an hour an |
officer appeared with Laj under guard. |
The merchant stated the case to the |
officer and, taking one Of the cigars,
handed 1t to Laj, with the command,
take 1t and smoke It."
The man turned gray and refused. |
His guilt was proved.
