 Farther on is the bauqueting hall and ball room, which was used as a hos. pital. There are batteries at short dis tauces apart surrounding the whole grounds. The residency building is in the center and is all shot to pieces. All the buildings are just peppered with holes from shells and cannon balls. The flag still flies over the residency, but the upper story is a complete ruin and nobody lives in it.
 In the tykana underneath saw the room occupied by Jessie Brown when she claimed she heard the bagpipes of the relieving party twenty miles away. Iu another room a cannon ball had come through one wall and buried it. self in the opposite wall There was one delicate woman in the room and, although uninjured, she died of shock few days later. In some places the enemy had positions not more than 30 feet from the British lines Johaues, native doing business near by, took refuge in the residency, and the natives occupied his house aud shop which were within 50 feet of a British battery. ! A negro sharpshooter had little loop. hole in one of these houses and picked off the soldiers every time they showed themselves. He was killed with every. body else in the house, but not before he had killed over 50 British. About a dozen women and as many children were killed by shells. Behind the resi- dency and near the river bank is the churchyard The natives nearly de stroyed the little church. There are over 2,OOO buried there, all victims of the siege. Sir Henry Lawrence and General Neill are buried side by side, and Anderson and Fulton not far away. Most of the graves are nameless. They had to bury the bodies at night and in the shelter of the church. There was a yard where the sheep and cattle were kept. There are two small mosques on the grounds, but the natives did not spare them.
 For over thousand miles from Cal outta the country is flat and barren looking. The rains begin ill June and everything becomes green. There is a fine yellow dust which fills everything; it is in your books, your clothes, your pockets; you eat and drink it. You are always dirty. On the trains there may or may not be fan. There is no drink ing water in the car. You are supposed to buy ginger ale or soda if you are thirsty. You can also get tea at the stations. The native water carrier comes round with his goatskin and doles out cups of water to the third class passengers. Those people ride very cheaply and they take advantage of the cheap rates for those cars are packed all the time. Ilhave seen sev- eraI dust storms from the train. One night at the hotel one came on sudden ly. was in the annex, about 30 feet from the main building. If it had been 50 feet I believe would not have found

it. It was pitch dark and the air was full of fine dust and one could neither see nor breathe. The dining room was closed up tightly, yet the dust came through like steam; it went into the lungs and into the stomach; the bread, meat and tea were all gritty and yonr mouth was lined with dust. It passed off within au hour.
 There are lot of animals and birds in India that are neither wild nor tame. Monkeys are to be seen on the trees everywhere. Nobody owns them, yet every body feeds them. Peacocks are the same. Sometimes they are miles away from house. They are we'll treated, but have no owners. It is the same with pidgoons; swallows and go- phers come into the house and eat under the table like cat Gophers run the streets like dogs. They are striped gray and black and have long tails. Crocodiles and turtles are also pets, and are often to be seen in tanks or ponds connected with a palace or temple. Parrots are in the same class. You rarely see tame one, but wild ones are as common in India as ravens in Alaska.
 Iu the middle of the day it was too hot to go out and l found myself often studying the punka. wallah. A man takes the contract and generally farms it out 10 his woman.kind. They do not work hard, but cent an hour is not much. It ran day and night. One woman worked for me five days. She was a type of hundreds of thousands living in Bengal. She was about twen- ty-five, looked 20, and cannot say that she was attractive. She had not much clothing and would have had less if the government had permitted it. She was bare from the hips up and from the thighs down, except for the wrist and ankle bracelets, earrings and the button which she jaunUiIy wore in the side of her nose. She wore a cloth which was not sheet, towel or napkin. It was a dirty dusty gray. Her black hair, her brown, weary face; black, expression less, lusterless eyes, unsmiling lipsi the brown body, with fabby pendulous rags of breasts, brown abdomen where muscles were as tense as banjo strings, thin brown arms and legs and dirty feet did not make charming picture. She chewed bertel nut and squirted the red juice everywhere. Her mouth seemed full of blood Her teeth were irregular and far apart.
 I had many callers every day; dealers in curios, ivory, elephants, little gods, silks, enamel work, precious stones or picture postcards. They are very patient and will wait all day if there is a sale in sight. They ask several times the value of a thing and gradually come down. They seemed to me to be all bilks.

four miles from the city. Here the soldiers were buried who were killed during the four months siege. General Barnard, the commander in chief, is buried here and many more well known to history. The third cemetery is per. haps the saddest of them all It was used up to the time of the mutiny. The most pitiful thing was to see the chil. dren's graves, and believe three fourths of the graves were those of children under five years. In one grave two, and another three, and l read on one tomb the names of five little brothers and sisters, one only of whom reached the age of three years.

 When the mutineer5 came down from Meerut, the King of Delhi and his sons ordered a massacre of all the whites. At one place is the tomb of clergy. man who died about 1845, aged 60 years. Beside his grave are three graves with one headstone. Those are the graves of his widow and two daughters, killed by the mutineers twelve years after. Many other tombs tell similar story; women and children murdered by se- poys, the first or second day of the mutiny. Near the cemetery is church erected by Col Skinner in l84O There are many memorials here of women and children murdered during the mutiny. Mir. Beresford, manager of the Bank of Delhi, fought against hundreds, but was killed with his five daughters. On the tomb of one, Mir. Walker, are the names of twenty. eight of his relatives who were killed, most of them women and children. Col. Skinner is buried in this church. The ball and cross were so riddled by bullets that they had to be taken down. Between cemetery and church was the magazine. When the mutiny broke out at Meerut the mutt ueers opened the prison, killed as many as they could, fired on the sol diers, and left for Delhi. They were not followed although the British had couple of thousand soldiers there nor did the British send any word to Delhi Many suppose that if they had been followed the mutiny would have been stopped. Everybody in Delhi waited for help from Meerut, but in vain. There were no white soldiers in Delhi When they saw that the English were not coming the sepoys began murder ing. Some men, women and children escaped, although they suffered great deal. Their clothes were torn off by the natives and they nearly died ot heat, hunger and thirst. But most ot them were killed. There were some officers in the magazine and when they could hold out no longer they blew il up. Four officers were never heard oi again; two escaped and fought all through the mutiny, the others were wounded and died before the war was over. Over 200 natives were killed when the magazine blew up. A few days later the English raised an army of 3,OO0 and set out for Delhi. The men in Meerut had begged their officers tc let them follow the seyoys even if they

could have only hundred men. They thought they could save their country women and children in Delhi, but the officers could not see it that way. They moved only when forced by those above them.
