His Little Lot.

There were some interesting episodes
I'm the life OF Sir Charles Euan-Smith.
Once in the market place OF an Az
rhanistan town no was fired at by a
native. He lodged a complaint with
the ameer, who appeared TO take no
notice OF the incident, merely remark
Ing, That's all right" Sir Charles
complained again and met with the
same reply. He still thought that the
ameer was treating a serious matter
with less consideration than 1t deserv-
ed. but thought II advisable to say no
more on the subject. About a week
afterward he was invited by the ameer
to ride with him. They rode for some
distance outside the town, and they
passed glbbet after gibbet- At length
Sir Charles said. "Your hlchness has
been busy of late "0h. no. replied
the ameers they are your little lot"
Tie had seized all the members OF the
would be assassin's family and banged
