sleep. Then Dost Abkar lifted it up, | put it in a sack he had brought in his bosom, and said:-
 "lt Will sleep until midnight, and then will awaken in fierce mood Take it away with you, Chanda Ryder Let it be placed in the sahib majors sleeping-room tonight, and before the morning comes the man will be found dead.
 No one can blame thee. The cobra comes and goes. As the jungle is cleared away, the tiger retreats; but the cobra does not flee before man. You find him in the compounds, under the bungalows--even in the market places. Take him and go. Major Flint was neither popular nor respected. To his officers he was a martinet, and to the rank and file a tyrant. He kept native servants about him, and yet he hated them and revel- ed in their degradation. When sober, which was unusual, he threatened them with the lash when drunk, he l kicked and beat them and laughed at their wailings
 On this evening, before going to the regimental mess for dinner, he had called Chanda Ryder to him. Taking | him by the ear and twisting him down 
 on his knees, he said A- | Dog, tell me the truth Would you poison me if you dared?" "Sahib> major, such thoughts never come into my head,' was the reply. | Am l a fiend that I would poison the but who am l that I should not be l beaten?"
 You talk softly, boy, but look out for me. 1 have seen the devil in your eye for some days past, and I know what you are thinking of. Dare to lift finger and I will have you burn ed alive. Bring me the whp!"
 Mercy; sahib major pray for mercy!"
 Then take that, and that, and that, and let us have no more whining"
 The major kicked the boy three or four times and then flung him aside. For half an hour after the officer left the bungalow his victim groveled on the floor, weeping. Then he arose, brushed the tears from his eyes, and went into the majors sleeping room, carrying his sack and the cobra The serpent still slept. There was fear in Chanda Ryder's eyes, and yet his l face wore a look of determination. Tt will be three hours before the sahib major returns he unused, and 1 it will be three hours beIore the cobra awakens It is well. We shall see which god will triumph. Even though l took the serpent from the hands of Dost Abkar and brought it home with me, there was water in my heart un- til the sahib kicked me- Now the wa ter has gone
 The rear of the majors bungalow l looked out upon fields which stretched unbroken to the jungle. Doors and windows were open to catch the air, and the spaces were covered with I flimsy gause to keep the insects out 1 Chanda Ryder slept upon mat in the entry-sometimes on the mat and sometimes sitting with his back to the wall
 On this night he heard the major come in, and knew by his step and by his mutterngs that he had drunk too much. But the servant was not called and he did not offer his services, The major mixed himself a glass of brandy and soda from his sideboard, turned the lamp low, and then sat down on chair to mutter and grum- 1 ble and threaten.

Our Of The Darkness
By C. 8. Lewis
lCopyright The Frank A. Munsey Co.)

Chanda Ryder, body servant to Ma jor Flint, of the Seventeenth Native Infantry, sat on a great block of stone among the ruins of an old temple be- yond the military cantonment at Bal asore, in the province of Bengal. His face was swollen, his lips cut ana there were tears in his eyes as he waited for Dost Abkar.
 Soon he felt presence on the stone beside him, and he turned to find the old man at his elbow.
 My son, why dost thou weep?" ask ed the newcomer.
 For answer, Chanda Ryder pointed to his, swollen face.
 "Six months ago." said the old man in a whisper thou didst tell me that . the sahib major, on whom you wait. beat and abused thee. He called thee a dog and the son of dog. He spat upon thy faith and mocked at thy prayers. Didst thou not tell me that, and were there not tears in thine eyes and blood upon thy lips as now?"
 Yes, 1 told thee that, Dost Abkar," replied the young man.
 And three months ago the same tale. And month ago another beat ing and more tears Once thou vert tempted, Chanda Ryder, and became thief. Thou vert whipped before the whole regiment and many people, and since then the sahib major hath own ed thee body and soul. He is a hard cruel man, and it is upon thee that he venteth his spite
 Aye, Dost Abkar, it is upon me , that his blows fall daily"
 "Six months ago. faint heart, told thee the remedy"
 T placed scorpion in his bed, but it did hot sting him."
 Three months ago told thee the remedy
 Three months ago I would have stabbed him as he slept, but he aWoke. and for an hour I dared not move. The sahib major is great and power full. Who am I?"
 "A month ago I told thee the rem edy,' pitilessly continued the old man.
 Thou didst, Dost Abkar, and thou must have heard that another drank from the bottle and was made very ill. The sahib major looked at me for long time when that happened. and my blood turned to water. He has many lives. He has a god who will let nothing destroy him."
 But is his god greater than my god?"
 Tt should not be, and yet
 Listen to me, Chanda Ryder" said the old man. as he hushed his voice to almost a whisper Thou art but one of millions of us, but the Ferin- gees must learn that we are also men, though our faces be not as white as theirs. They must be taught that our faith is our faith, and that we abandon it only with life.
 Sit thee quiet and speak no word. l will call my god, and you shall judge between it and the sahib ma iors god"
 Half minute later the old man be- gan to drone, making sound in his throat like the humming of a great top. Sixty seconds later a cobra came out from under one of the great blocks and crawled to his feet Dost Abkar stopped over and lifted up the serpent by the neck, although it had never felt the hand of man before.
 Its jaws were squeezed open, and the man poured a few drops of color less liquid down it's throat He then placed the cobra on the ground, and the two watched it, It moved away, returned,/ / coiled and uncoiled itself, and after .three minutes seemed to
