that of Sikh boy, born in humble cir

1eavor and who remained, In spite Of
that distinction, unspoiled, kind

Ram Singh, as a lad. attracted The
attention of Lockwood Kipling father
Of Rudyard Kipling, and under the
auspices of the famous Anglo-Indian
artist the young son of a Punjabi cul-
tivator became almost equally widely
known as a designer. Later he sue

In 1891 Ram Singh was ordered to

the work was executed with remark
able beauty and effect The queen took
great personal interest in the work

it on completion. Ram Singh might
have obtained many commissions in

The most trifling incident may affect
your own destiny and the destiny of
those who come after you. History is
full of stories illustrating this fact,
and none of them is more remarkable
than the story of Charles Samson de
L0ngval, who sacrificed everything for
love. One day, in the year 1862, he
was thrown from his horse; and as a
direct result of this accident he and
seven Of his descendants, for a period
Of 200 years were stunned of men,
as though they we're lepers, bearing
upon them the word "unclean."
Charles was the descendant of a
once illustrious house. His forbears
were knights and soldiers under the
dukes of Normandy, and had distin-
guished themselves for valor upon div
ers fields. They took part in William
the Conqueror's little basket picnic in

land you'll have all your friends again.
As it is, you are disgracing the regi-
ment."
Charles drew his sword, and broke
it over his knee.
''Then 1 belong to the regiment no
longer" answered he. "Tll tear up my
commission at once"
And he did. That night he went out
to the cottage to ask Marguerite to
marry him and go to the new world
where they might begin a new life.
All the visits he had paid were with
out the knowledge of her father. And
new he went to the door on tiptoe, and
knocked gently-a knock she under
stood. There was no answer and he
stood listening. He heard a moaning
sound. that came from the direction of
an old shed back in the garden. He
stole there quietly. and saw that there
was a light in the she'd The moaning
continued, soon rising to a Shrek. He
looked in through crack, and saw
Marguerite strapped on a leather
couch. Her father. his eyes glowing
iusanely. was subjeeting her TO the tor
tnre of the boot. He held aloft a ham
lner. was crushing her limb.
Confess that you love him." he
was saying.
Then the door flew in as though
struck by a thunderbolt and Charles
was in the room. He knocked the old
nan into a corner and then tore the
engine of torture away from the girl.
The father, half crazed with his men,
tai sufferings. had heard that the girl
was planning TO elope with an officer
For the sake of her lover. the girl
denied everything. and he was trying
10 force the truth from her.
Then Charles outlined his plan. but
the girl would not leave her father,
who was worse than alone in the
world. And the father would not con-
sent to her marriage unless Charles
agreed to adopt the old mans grue-
some profession. Charles did not hest
tate. and under such strange conditions
lie and the girl became engaged, and
were married a few days later.
Alas that such devotion as that of
Charles should have so poor a reward
His young wife died in less than
year. leaving him son destined for
