ing of me concerning certain powers
of my people. But Vishnu willed chat
l should not reply. So my lips were
sealed, as you saw. 1t may be that
| shall never reveal to you, sahib, the
things of which l was about to speak,
"Why not?' demanded Williams
curiously. The inality in the voice of
the Hindu interested and, oddly
enough, disquieted him.
"Sahib Buck" patiently began il
tendra, "ft is not easy for me to ex-
plain the powers which rule us in spite
of u complacent self-confidence. But
l saw you running for this train
which was late. Tell me if you cam,
did you make it later"
mo-
"Nor did l." affirmed the Oriental.
"NOr did either you or I~check it's
mad rush toward the places whittier
we are travelling. Therefore, how
shall 1 make clear to you that what
1 may call fate bears rule over all?
1t is not well that men should know
too much of such things, sahib, else
they would lay the blame for their
evil deeds on destiny or fate. So is
it not wiser to deal warily with such
matters, that, being in ignorance, men
shall have the more fear of that which
is hidden and kept secret?'
Perhaps" laconically admitted
Williams.
"This morning" im%perturbably went
on Jitendra, 81 did not know that such
a man as you lived, nor did you know
me. Fate wills that we meet and jour-
ney OF together"
ITO Ell Paso?' interloped the other.
"To whittier the same fate shall de-
eide that bade you drag me from the
burning car. 1 did not ask it, for
Vishnu had sealed not only my lips,
but smothered my thoughts. Fate
spoke, sahib, and you obeyed. And
now the same fate whispers to me,
bidding me turn aside from my jour
ney and go on with you until it per-
mits me to preserve you as you have
this day preserved me-"
ooh. 1 say, Mr.. Jitendra, I can't let
you interrupt your trip to bother about
me or my affairs" protested Williams.
Really, it's very thoughtful of you,
but its wholly Unnecessary
He Strengthened his strong, young
body and leaned back in the Pullman
at this typical oriental method of APP
probation. One touch of nature makes
the whole world akin, and Buck Will
liams vaguely grasped the spirit of re-
gratitude that burned in the :
frail figure before him.
"Noblesse oblige' it enunciated as :
loudly as if spoken in actual words :
above the roar of the train, :
now racing again toward Ell Paso. :
"Who shall say?' graphically re :
Piled Jitendra. "Sahib, l have said :
hat the ways of your people are not :
he ways of mine. But l have also :
all peoples. And 1 may not jour :
ley far upon the Seven Paths if l try :
step aside from the Karma which :
ate lays upon me. Only by obedience :
nay / progress. Otherwise l am in :
ietterS until another incarnation of :
sorrow and pain has set me free" Z
