CHAPTER !.

The men who govern Indla-more
power to them and herl-are few.
Those who stand in their way and pre-
tend to help them with a flood OF
words are a host. The charge has
seen the light in print that India-well-
spring Of plague and sudden death
and money lenders-has sold her soul
to twenty succeeding conquerors In
turn.
SO when the world war broke the
world wns destined to be surprised on
India's account. The Red sea, full of
racing transports crowded with dark
skinned gentlemen, whose one prayer
was that the war might not be over
before they should have struck blow
for Britain, was the Indian army's an
swer to the press.
More than one nation was deeply
shocked by India's answer to ''prac-
tlces" that had extended over years.
But there we're men in India who
learned to love India long ago with
that love that casts out fear, who knew
exactly what was going to happen and
could therefore afford to wait for or
ders instead of running round in rings,
Athelstan King. for instance, moth
ing yet but n captain unattached, sat
in meagerly furnished quarters with
his heels on a table. He is not a
doctor, yet he read a book on sur
gerry; and when he went over to the
club he carried the book under his
arm and continued to read II there.
In the other room where the telegraph
blanks were Uttered in confusion all
about the floor. the other officers sent
kilograms and forgot King, who sat
and smoked and read about surgery !;
and before he had nearly finished one
box Of cheroots a general at Peshawur
wiped n bald red skull and sent him
an urgent telegram.
"Come at once r. It said simply.

shadows of the station building, why
such an iron-fingered, wide-awake
sahib should have made such a truly
feeble showing at the end.
Hang it!-couldn't you hold him?
Were you afraid of him, or what?" de-
manded Hyde, beginning to dress him
self. Instead of answering, King leaned
out into the lamp-lit gloom, and in a
minute he caught sight of sergeant
of native infantry passing down the
train. He made a sign that brought
the man to him on the run.
Did you see that runaway" he
asked.

Major Hyde was dressed, having per
formed that military evolution in some
thing less than record time.
"Who was that you were talking
to?" he demanded. But King did not
seem to understand until the native
sergeant had quite vanished into the
shadows.
The engine shrieked Of death ant
torment; the heat relaxed as the en-
gine moved-loosened- go-liftet

RAISE FIVE VICE PRESIDENTS
Tyler, Fillmore, johnson, Arthur and
Roosevelt Succeeded on Death
of the President.

Five vice presidents of the United
States have on the death of the presi-
dent succeeded to the higher office.
The first president to die while in Office
was William Henry Harrison, grand
father of Benjamin Harrison of In
diana. His death occurred April 4,
1S41, just one month after his inaugur-
alton. The vice president, John Tyler,
then at his country home in Virginia,
was officially notified of the event and
on reaching Washington, at once took
the oath of Office as president.
AS this was the first case of the kind
there was much discussion for a time
in and out of congress as to Tyler's
proper title-that is, whether he was
"vice president of the United States
acting as president" or president. It
was finally conceded on oil sides that
the language of the Constitution is
clear that on the death of the presi-
dent in office the vice president be-
comes, in name as in fact, president.
The trainers of the Constitution did
not leave the door open for trouble
that might arise regarding the legality
Of acts done by an "acting president"
On the death of President Zachary
Taylor, July 9, 1850, Vice President
Millard Fillmore succeeded to the pres
idency and was at later date an un-
successful candidate for election to the
office. Andrew Johnson, the third vice
president to succeed to the higher Of
flee, took the oath April Is, 1865, the
day after the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln. President Garfield was
shot July 2, 1881, died the following
September 10, and was Immediately
succeeded by Vice President Chester A.
Arthur. Vice President Roosevelt sue
ceeded President Mckinley, who died
September IA, 1901, and was the only
one of five vice presidents thus sue
ceeding to the Office who was subse-
Quently elected to 1t.

Icelanders as Entrants.

It is claimed for the Icelandic set
tiers that they have played no small
part in the progress and prosperity of
the province of Manitoba, Canada, and
it is asserted that the story of the for
eign population of Winnipeg must nee
essarily begin with the Icelander. He
has set the pace for all the incoming
races. He is the Illustration par excel
lence of how q people of ambition and
industry can master difficulties, tri-
umph over prejudice, and attain their
desired place in the commercial, the
political, the intellectual and social
life of hustling and growing city in
strange land. Outside the city it is
not unusual to find Icelanders with
farms of 1000 acres.

for the door too late. With a move
ment unbelievably swift King was
there ahead of him; and with another
movement not so swift, but much more
disconcerting, he threw his sheet as
the retiarius used to throw q net in
ancient Rome. 1t wrapped round the
natives head and arms, and the two
went together to the floor in a twisted
stra9glehold.
In another half-minute the native
was groaning, for King had his knife
wrist in two hands and was bending it
backward while he pressed the mans
stomach with his knees.
The knife fell to the floor, and the
thief made gallant effort to recover
it, but King was too strong for him.
He seized the knife himself, slipped it
in his own bosom and resumed his hold

that one respect war is better than
some kinds Of peace.
In the train on the way to Peshawur
he was not troubled by forced con-
versatlon. Consequently he reached
Peshawur comfortable, in spite Of the
heat. And his genial manner of salut-
ing the full-general who met him with
a dogcart at Peshawur station was
something scandalous. Full-generals,
particularly in the early days of war,
do not drive to the station to meet
captains very often yet King climbed
into the dogcart unexcitedly, after
keeping the general waiting while he
checked a trunk
The general cracked his whip with
out any other comment than a smile.
A blood mare tore sparks out of the

wheels. Sentries in unexpected places

On the dogcart's high front seat, star
ing straight ahead of him between
the horses ears, King listened. The
general did nearly all the talking.
"The North's the danger"
King grunted with the lids half-low-
cred over full, dark eyes. He did moi
look especially handsome in that at
titude. Some men swear he looks like
"A Roman, and others liken him to Q
gargoyle, all of them choosing to ig

whole face instantly.

Ink for LaheIinn Bottles.

and a quarter of methylated alcohol
add a half-ounce of shellac, and when
this last is dissolved immerse the bot.

Commitments of the pax.

Soldiers have to do their own mend

although few persons would
have guessed it-that the thoughtful
war Office supplies them with outfits
for that purpose. Otherwise, this joke
would be impossible.
Everything was ready for kit in

ready for the officer, and the officer
had his bad temper all complete. He
marched up and down the line, grimly

Private MacTootle as the man who

was content to lie in shirt sleeves on
the other berth, with knees raised, so
that Hyde could not overlook the gen.
erals papers. At his ease he studied
them one by one, memorizing string
of names, with details as to their own
ers' antecedents and probable present
whereabouts. There were several
photographs in the packet, and he
studied them very carefully indeed.
But much most carefully of all he
examined Yasmlni's portrait, returning
to it again and again. He reached the
conclusion in the end that when it was
taken she had been cunningly dis
guised.

Still Owns Violet Shop.

In the French chamber of deputies
the lawyers and doctors are most nu-
merous; but one deputy is veteri-
nary, another is a news agent, another
is a miner, another a comedian, an
other a tinsmith, another makes wood
en- shoes, another is a confectiOner.
Others are professors, and one, who
represents Upper Garonne, is dealer
in violets. Time was-and it is a long
time ago-when he sold those sweet
and modest flowers over the counter in
person. Now, with a mOdesty equal
to that of the violet, he has withdrawn
himself from so public a position. But
he still owns a shop alongside the Ho-
tel de la Poste in Toulouse, shop
where violets, and only violets, are
sold.

What Will the Harvest Be?

Few Americans are aware that they
live in country inclosed in circle of
mines and nets, writes Niksah; yet
such is the case. Since the declara-
ton of war the navy department has
been sowing the waterways and har-
bors of the country with means of de-
struction. In harbors nets designed to
catch submarines are the chief relI-
ance, while In rivers the channels are
planted with mines.

SeIective Draft.

Much amusement was caused in the
house of commons by the official ad-
mission that ''by a regretable clerical
error the national service depart
ment had notified the speaker that
they proposed to transfer him to
new employment at Wolverhampton at
about one dollar per day, with a week
ly war bonus of a little more than a
dollar "on the ground that such en-
ployment was deemed of greater ma
tional Importance than that on which
he was now engaged"

Bossy Lacks 'Preciation,

Stephen called to see the new Jer-
sey calf, so he was taken out to the
pasture where it was. The week-Old
calf was at one end of the lot looking
through the bars, while the mother, old
Bess, was as far the opposite side as
she could get, gazing into space. After
waiting some time for display of
affection between mother and daughter
Stephen looked up with a puzzled ex-
preston and. said: whats the matter
with that COW, uncle? Don't she pre-
ciate that calf?"

Essence of Good Manners.

Good manners are made up of sacri-

other precede, or offer someone else
the best chair, or pass the plate of
fruit before you help yourself, you are
putting self second. And that is the
essence OF good breeding, in little
things and great.-Girl's Companion.

before the native guessed what he was
after. The train screamed itself to a
standstill at a wayside station, and a
man with a lantern began to chant
the stations name. The instant the
trains motion altogether ceased the
heat shut in on them as if the lid of
Tophet had been slammed. The prick
ly heat burst out all over Hyde's skin
and Kings too.
There was plenty of excuse for re-
laxing hold, and King made full use of
it. A second later he gave a very good
pretense of pain in his finger ends as
the thief burst free. The native made
a dive at his bosom for the knife, but
he frustrated that. Then he made a
