II is announced by the geological
survey that the discovery Of phosphate
rock in Montana is likely to have an
important effect in providing an out
let for the sulphuric acid that might
be manufactured by the big smelters
there. but which IL now allowed to go
to waste and poisons the range within
radius of thirty miles from the
smelter works. The withdrawal OF
the phosphate lands from homestead
entry was announced some weeks ago
after the fields were reported by Hoyt
Dale, one Of the field geologists. These
deposits are extensive and are con.
sidered OF great potential value. Ths
smelter trouble with the production
of sulphuric acid fumes has been in
vestigated by the bureau of animal IN
dustry OF the department of axricuI
ture. There have been a number

He acted upon 1t without thought of
disobedience; he was in the hands of
Labertouche, and Labertouche knew
best. Between the lines he read that
the Engishman considered it unwise
to attempt further communication in
Calcutta. Something had happened
to eliminate the trip to Darieeling.
Labertouche would undoubtedly con-
trive to meet and enlighten him, eth
err on the way or in Benares itself.
In the long, tiresome, eventless jour
ney that followed his faith was sore
ly tried; nor was it justified until the
train paused some time after midnight
at Mogul Serial. There, before Am
Der and Doggott could alight to
change for Benares, their compart-

loafer very drunk. Tall and burly;
with red-rimmed eyes in a pasty peck

That's right, my man, throw me

His downfall was spectacular. In
his enthusiasm for the part he played,
he had erred to the extent Of deliv-
ering a blow in Doggott's face, more
forcible, probably, than he had In
tended it to be. Promptly he landed
sprawling on the station platform.
And the train continued on its ap-
pointed way, bearing both Amber and
the injured Doggott.
Thus they came to the heart OF
Raiputana.
In the chill Of dawn they were de-
posted at Badshah Junction. A scanty
length of rude platform received them
and their two small travelling bags.
They stood, then, forlorn in a howl
ing desolation. For signs of life they
had the station, a flimsy shelter roof
ed with corrugated iron, beaten
track that wandered off northwards
and disappeared over grassless
swell, handful of mud huts at a
distance, and the ticket agent. The
latter, sleepy, surly Eurasian in
pyjamas, surveyed them listlessly
from the threshold Of the station, and
without a sign either of interest or
contempt turned and locked himself
In.
Amber sat down on his upturned
suit case and laughed and lit ciga-
rette. Doggott growled,

their demands for a tonga to bear
them to kuttarpur, and observed that
the mail tonga left once a day-at
three in the afternoon. Doggott
caught him as he was on the point of
returning to his interrupted repose
and called his attention to the un.
wisdom Of his ways.
Apparently convinced, this ticket
agent announced his intention of en-
deavoring to find n tonga for the
sahib. Besides, he was not unwilling
to acquire rupees. He scowled
thoughtfully at Amber, ferociously at
Doggott, went back into the station,
gossipped casually with the TELEGRAPH
sounder for quarter Of an hour, and
finally reappearing, without a word or
nod left the platform for the road
and walked and walked and walked
and walked.
An hour passed as three. The heat
became terrific; not breath Of wind
stirred. The face of the world lost
It's contours in wavering mirage
In the simple fulness Of Asatic time

over with Just eye and temper
none the sweeter for his experience.
1t was brute of tonga, a patched
and ramshackle wreck of what had
once been real tonga, with no top to

The Eurasian ticket agent aligated
and solicited rupees. He got them
and with them Amber's unvarpishe

He remained in his seat-a short,
