 a mile west of Angevin.

 to one of us. some of the persons of
 her own mental and social status should be present to see that we were her dependents. not only for invita- tions to her ridiculous entertainments, but for life and sustenance as well. I had enough after the Klencastle episode. I was an officer in the Sth Royal Fusiliers, and I had no fancy | for being made to appear the mere hanger-on of any old woman.

The Fever was Broken by the Sound

In the streets without I heard the tread of soldiers. the sharp, harsh com mands of officers, the rattle of accou- trements. I seized one of the slender iron bars which kept me prisoner, and I laughed in my frenzy to feel the ease with which I wrenched 1t from its sockets. Another gave way be- fore my crazed attack, and in few moments was mingling with the sol diers of Victoria who were marching under Outram to avenge the outrages of the Sepoys and to restore to the British crown the brightest jewel that 1t boasts.

He was lean- ing towards me, his arms half stretch ed forward, the palms of his hand, from their position: denoting forgive ness and benediction.
 The voice of the aged Rahmu stayed me. and there, prostrate upon the ground, I listened to the words of this aged priest of occultism.
 He is goneS he said; Tit is sweet to die so young; Sivu receives him His voice trembled with the ages il had known, but even its breaks were to the ear like incense to the nostrils For an instant the yogi paused, dis embodied to commune with the spirit oi his dead compeer.
