Baggage of a Maharajah

Thirty boxes containing foodstuas.
Two great metal jars containing water from
the Ganges
Two beautiful cages containing singing birds.
Five sealed boxes in crates, feet long, con-
tanning iewelry and precious stones.
The last-named boxes, which were stated to
contain jewels of almost priceless value, had,
all the way from Marseilles been guarded by
twelve servants of the Maharajah The men sat
the cases during the daytime and slept BY
the side Of them at night When the cases were
taken out of the at Victoria their custodians
lined up beside them and marched to the omni-
buses in which they were placed never for an
instant relaxing their vigilance. Their guard
ianship was reinforced by detachment of Scot
land Yard detectives, who lowered amid the
throng of porters surrounding the railway vans.
The Maharsjah smiled affably at the officials
waiting to receive him. and spoke to them in eI-
cellent English He 10 slight. Of medium height

color.
The Maharajah's caste precludes him from ear

the Journey across France, the train was brought
to halt and the Msharajah ate a meal spe-
cialy prepared by bis native cooks, alightins for
the purpose from the saloon. and seating himself
in tent erected in field by the side of the
railway line.
At Mortimer Hous. the Msharajah's Six cooks

European was on any account allowed 70 enter
during the preparation OF meals.

Steve fired again and again through the panels,
and knew from the cries he heard that his shots
often went home. But the natives incensed by
the loss Of many Of their number. were now
quite reckless of danger and attacked the door
again and again.
