Many instances of remarkable gal
lantry and devotion to duty are to be
found in the "Story of the Guides" by
Col. G. ]. YOunghusband. At present
this is corps of native East Indians,
fourteen hundred strong, with twenty
seven British officers. King Edward is
colonel-in-chief. 1t was raised in 1916,
to furnish not only fighters, but also
men who could, at moments notice,
act as guides to troops in the field and
to collect trustworthy information. AS
it was for service, and not for show,

army was laid aside for the dust-cOl-

home of one of the guides. His rela-

fight against them, and favorable OPP
portunity coming, he deserted, and car
ried with him two rifles.
"How many men of that mans tribe
are there in the regiment?" demanded
the commander, Colonel jenkins, when
the fact was reported to him. 1t was
found there were seventeen, all told.

colonel and they were duly summoned

placed the little pile in front of him
on the ground.
"You can now 60, and don't let me see
your faces again till you bring back
those two rifles"
He hoped that they might overtake
the fugitive, but he was disappointed.
Day followed day and week succeeded
week, but no news came of pursued or
pursuers.
The matter had been forgotten; the
vacancies had long since been filed in

one day there walked into Mardan

spoke but little: but their faces beamed
with honest pride as their spokesman
simply said:
"The sahib told us never to show our
faces again until we found the rifles,
