When Lofts, seated at his desk in
his Office in the little Indian town
where he was deputy magistrate,
looked up to see his trusted orderly.
Ram Singh, covering him with a re-
volver, his first idea was that the heat
had affected his brain. His second.
which was the correct one, was that
the long-expected mutiny had broken
out at last.
Ram Singh spoke with quiet DELHI
GRAFTON. Your time has come, Sahib.
Will you pledge me your Sahib's word
to come quietly outside, where the
Rajah awaits you? Or must l shoot
the Sahib?"
Lofts understood the alternative.
1t was sudden death without torture,
or slow death plus torture. Person
ally he preferred the former. But as
the sole representative of British pow
er within a radius of seventy miles.
he conceived the idea that it was his
duty to be game to the last, and, look
ing up, he saw that Ram Singh had
formed the same opinion concerning
his intentions.
Lofts walked quietly out of his of

drawn up outside the office Among
them, reclining in his palanquin. was
the Rajah.
Lofts had known the Rajah for
three years. The Rajah was an up
to-date ruler. with a palace a mile
away, brilliantly illuminated by cleo
tricity, and full of electrical devices,
monographs, moving-picture appar-
atus, with a whole company of trained
actors upon the spot, automatic birds
and animals-jhst such a ruler as

ing the Raiah's anger six months pre-
viously. He had, in fact, rescued an
unfortunate slave who was about to
be thrown to the Rajah's pet tiger.
The ruler mad hated him cordially
ever since, and Lofts suspected what
fate was awaiting him
He faced the king with steady eyes.
The Rajah smiled. Lofts did not

Lofts, guarded by two soldiers of
the native army, followed in the wake
Of the palanquin
Arrived at the palace, he was es-
corted to Observation-Disclosures suite
of rooms and left under close guard
He spent the remainder of the day
there He wondered what particular
form of cruelty the Raiah was de-
vising for him. From his impression
of the Rajah's character he assumed
that the pleasanter the preliminaries,
the more distasteful the sequence
would be.
On the following morning at day
break he was aroused by two of the
Rajah's men and escorted toward the
throne room. Before reaching the en-.
trance, however, his guard turned
aside and led him down fight of
stone stairs that led into a dungeon.

Spasmodic cases of love had been re-
