NATIVE SERVANTS IN INDIA
Obey Orders to the Letter, But Seem
to Be Wholly Lacking in
Judgment.

Native servants in India have tbs
generally desirable though sometimes
inconvenient virtue Of the Chinese
doing exactly as they are told. This
trouble is that they seldom use judy
ment.
Lord Roberts, during campaign in
India, had ordered his man to prepare
his bath at a certain hour. One day
a fierce engagement was going on, but
the servant made his way through i
storm Of bullets and appeared at tho
commander's side.
"Sahib." said he, your bath Is
ready
Even better story comes from an
unknown soldier, who was awakened
one morning by feeling the servan:
Of a brother ofncer pulling at his

The Long Wooing of Anthony
Fiala Is Soon to End.
BACK FROM THE NORTH TO CLAIM A BRIDE
Wooed for Eight Years. a Pretty Southern Maid
Will Wed an Ardent Lover-Her Word
Given as He Sailed Norttward
Two Years Ago.

Nashville, Tenn.-Some time during
the coming winter there will be sol
emnized in this city a marriage that
will mark the climax to one of the pref
test romances this land of romances
has known in many a year.
It will be q union of the north and
south of that north represented
by the frozen ice fields surrounding the
north pole, and Of this sunny southland.
Anthony Fiala, the hero of the Ziegler
expedition in search of the pole, is the
hero of this romance, and Miss Claire
Puryear, a young lady prominent in
Nashville society, is the heroine, and
the story of their courtship is an inter-
esting one.
as long engagements go, and even a
longer wooing, says a special writer to
the New York World. TWAS eight years
ago that Anthony Fiala, then a young
ster of q, first met Miss Puryear. He
was member of gallant troop G, OF
Brooklyn, then. He had gone as part
of the escort of the governor of New
York to the exposition at Nashville. On
New York day, just by chance, he was
introduced to Miss Puryear, guest a:
the governors reception.
OF course the trooper did just what
he ought to have done-he fell in love
with her. They corresponded after he
left Nashville for good, but that was
all. Chance took young Fiala back
again to Tennessee and he made bold
to say what his heart had hidden him.
NO." said the young girl, thinking
of course, it was final.
But men who are At to brave the ter.

rebuff, and hundred times more moi

the girl to marry him, sometimes goins

Then in seeming despair he gave

the hardships they had endured for
two years, but no one was in such a
bad way that good food and plenty Of
rest would not bring him around all
right. On August all the parties
were gathered together and the start
made for Norway, where everybody
arrived safe and we'll on August 10.
1t took six days hard work to get out
OF the ice-pack-the rest of the sail to
Norway was easy. The sturdy ship
that had rescued the men was un-
harmed.

Fiala, ''1ll be back"
But nobody knew that either had
promised the other. 1t was only when
the brief dispatch came on August IL
that Miss Puryear told her secret-she
was to marry the intrepid young arctic
explorer when he could come back to
her. Wooed six years and his promised
sweetheart for two years more, she had
kept her secret we'll. For two years
lacking less than a month she had not
heard q word from him. Her last let
ter was dated in September, 1903, when
the gallant little band passed out OF
reach of the mails for almost IL months.
The expedition cost $250,000. The
party were taking everything possible
for the prosecution of the search for the
pole. Everything that science or COM
fort could suggest found a place aboard
the sturdy ship. There were 210 Siberi-
an dogs, 30 Siberian ponies, ten tons Of
horse food, Al tons Of dog food, 16o
pounds Of tobacco, 1900 pounds Of gun
cotton, 5000 rounds of ammunition for
rifles and shotguns, 63 sledges Of spe-
cial design, two specially built canoes

OF the most skilfully prepared concen-

without limit.

Q place he was accepted. Mr.. Ziegler
found that the young man had already
an enviable war record in '98, when he
went to Porto Rico with troop c, and
was also an accomplished artist, pho

young man got one Of the coveted
places.
Two years later he came back.
The expedition had been . failure.
There had been dissensions among the
omcers of the America, which finally
stirred up q spirit Of mutiny even in
the men. Little was accomplished; the
chickering's which had been bred in the
Arctic were kept up when the expedi-
ton arrived back in New York. Mr..
ziegler was disguised. He spoke his
contempt for the men who had wasted
his money In no uncertain words. But
Anthony Fiala was not one Of them. He
had done good work, and when it came
time for the baking powder millionaire
to cast about for man to lead Sec

young Fiala, then but 80 years old.
