Four weeks later Babu Tara Chand

the fortnight Tara Chand submitted a
report Of 216 foolscap pages. explain
Ing that, despite the most diligent eff

been unable to secure the slightest

the secretary OF the assistant auditor
general of the presidency OF Bengal
notified Babu Tara Chand that Il was
not wholly satisfactory and that the
circumstances bearing upon the loss OF
the stamp would have to be definitely
explained and proved or the deficit Of
three pies would have TO be made good.
Babu Tara Chand stuck TO his guns
and wrote again. He wrote many
| times. AS often as he wrote his ex-
plantations the auditor general wrote
signifying his official dissatisfaction
with the same.

months subsequent TO the discovery OF

Red TAPE EXPERT
An East Indian Clerk Who
Stumped an English Official.
BEAT HIM AT HIS OWN GAME.

In the Fine Art Of CircumIocution eabu
Tara Chand Made His Pretentious
Auditor General Appear Like Rank
Amateur-A Trus Stcry.
The government Offices i'm Whitehall
are supposed TO use red tape" pretty
freely. but the supply In London Is
nothing Ia what IL Is In India. Let
us outline briefly the true history of
Babu Tara Chand. late of the subordi-
nate branch of the Indian civil serv.
Ice. The story is true.
Babu Tara Chand was n deputy sub
assistant clerk I'm the cutcherry OF q
deputy collector I'm the Swankibagh
district of southern Bengal. The In.
land postage rate In India at that
period WAS three pies. or about 1
farthing. for letters weighing one tola.
one fine day when the officials had
concluded the annual or biennial over
haul of the books OF the cutcherry It
WAS discovered that by some un.
heard Of turpitude one stamp of the
value of three pies q farthing) had
been unaccounted for. The stamp
could be clearly traced to the desk
ana control of Babu Tara Chand.
Thence 1t had disappeared.
Babu Tara Chund was not summa-
rily dismissed; neither was he made
the target of Il criminal prosecution. In.
stead he received II lengthy letter on
blue foolscap paper. pointing out In
detail how certain property of her
most gracious majesty the queen en-
press-to wit. one Indian postage stamp
or the value OF three pieS-had been
committed TO his care on a certain
date and that up to the date OF writ
ing no adequate explanation had hcen

The communication fell upon the
lucklrss Tara Chand like bolt from
the blue. 1t left but three courses
open TO him-viz:
(a) Resign from the service.
(bl Explain the disappearance OF the
farthing postage stamp in manner
deemed satisfactory by the auditor
(c) Recoup the farthing
VI these three courses 1t will be
obvious to any person with the shall
lowest knowledge of the Bengali char
acter that the third one (c) was FROM
the outset beyond the pale Of con-
sideration. The first (a) was also too
terrible to contemplate. Therefore
Babu Tara Chand sat down and COM
posed letter which was n masterpiece
In its way and in which he requested
to be relieved from routine service for
a period of four weeks to enable him
TO make such search among the rec
ords OF the department. etc. as might
enable him to trace the missing stamp.

we initiate, we struggle. we will not give
up, but all the while we cling to the hand
of Him who loves, and guides, and cares,
and plans: the hand that never fails: the
hand that will at last throw open the
gates OF eternal life and bid us enter in
We find also great comfort in the fact
that God knows the things that we know
He knows our sins, He knows our weak
nesses, he knows our longings: not one
single trial or joy comes to us but He
knows all about it, and knows, too what
it means. At first, to those who do not
understand Gods love, the idea of His
reading our hearts and lives and knowing
our mistakes and willful sins is startling
How can He love me or care for me or
acknowledge me as His child when He
sees how foolish. how obstinate, how
false to my ideals I am? Surely it were
more comforting to believe that He does
not know! But the great blessedness of it
all Is that He does know, and yet loves
us and is ready to forgive us in spite OF
1t all II only We show our desire to ask
Him and our longing for pardon and
peace.
The sorrows of our lives, whether
brought by our experiences or our err

that no one knows or can know here on
earth. We are afraid, unless we are
