the strings are pulled" ''Ranjf' raised
such an uproar at both ends of the en-
pire that the people of Nawanagar were
glad to welcome him as their new Jam. 1t

to England of having an Anglo-Indan in
power rather than an out-and-out Hindu

Every luxury that his European educa-

buy was soon his. Where his predecessor
mad been elaborate he was doubly so; he
turned the handsome into the splendid

hand that welded the cricket bat so well
became as expert in scattering gold In

"Ranji' is very keen on tiger shooting,
but his comfort-loving soul rebelled at the
usual method of mounting an elephant
and riding into the jungle after the game
So he invented a portable shooting box,

he had built in England according to his
own ideas.

in his career as spendthrift, but before
he had the treasure pile behind him: how
he battled for throne and finally became
an Indian Dotentatc-all this reads like
weird romance. But it is one of the IN
stances of the truth outdoing fiction, and
today "Ranj's' exploits are the talk Of
all Europe.
Born in Sarodar. Jathiawar, western
India, thirty-five years ago, 'RanJi' was
the second son of Jiwan Slnhji. Rasput
Hindu. His uncle, Sio Vibhaji Ranmaljf,
then ruled as Jam of Nawanagar one of
the many petty states in the empire over
which Great Britain extends control, but
which virtually rule themselves.
'Rahji' was not in direct succession
for any place of power, and it did not
matter much what became of him, so he
was shipped off to England and told to
get European education. H had stud
led at home under English masters, and
being naturally apt he had little difficulty
in entering Cambridge University.
Early in his career he showed a fond
ness for cricket. and before long the
university was agOg with stories Of his
cleverneSs as d batsnan. He developed
remarkable faculty for this end of the
game, and in 1896 he was the undisputed
champion of all England.
A Crack Cricketer.
His cricketng naturally threw "Ranji'
into the British social world and he was
made alton at once. He had a good al
lowance from home, but with his oriental
way of doing things on lavish scale the
funds from father melted like bit of
butter on the Sahara. Being real prince
he had no difficulty in finding credit, but
this was exhausted at last and "Ranjf'
found himself hard up"
Finally he had to turn his attention to
lodging bill collectors who called between
pay days" and it is related that more
than one cricket game in which he played
held up pending his settlement with
some insistent creditor
"Ranji'' came to America to play crick-
ct, and he was warmly welcomed by the
sporsting and the society worlds. He

ord until he went back to India.
Meanwhile many things had happened
at home. 'Ranjrs' uncle, the Jam, made
up his mind one day to adopt the cricketer
and disinherit an illegitimate son by a
Mohammedan, Eumar Jarwant Sinhji. He
named "Ranji'' as his heir, and not long
after. in 1898, he died.
The disinherited son seized the throne
despite ''Ranji's" protests and he kept it
until 1906 when he died suddenly.
Then ''Ranji'' came forward as IA claim
