as an ailment neither alarming nor

Mrs Hardiugs illness is said to be

and is not regarded as-giving any
cause for alarm. No official state

was known only to very few close

Ordinarily Mrs. Harding has been
in good health ever since the Pres

than a year ago. =
The illness is nothing in the nature
of breakdown, but is rather due to
"a slight organic trouble
1t was said at the White House
that it is due to the effects of cold

A SETTING FOR A TALE OF FATE

n n
From "Kismet''-A Tale of Rohilkund
Magazine.
We had been talking of Kismet,
Safwan and I-of that strange Mos
lem belief in the inexorableness of
fate, that all things that happen have
been decreed from long beforehand
by sovereign Allah, that puny man
can i'll no way, by strength or cum
ming, halt his destiny or swerve 1t
aside the width of razor's sharp
edge. Nay his strength, such as 1T
is, and his cunning are but phases of
kismet himself.
We had been talking of Kismet,
Safwan and I, riding along the plains
of Dohilkund in palki- palanquins.
those long, ow,svarnished boxes with
sliding doors. carried by bamboo poles
on the shoulders of men. That was
of course. before the British, like
great spiders, had woven their
threads of steel rail and telegrs phi
wire about the old life of India, dun
ing its vivid colors to the shade of
cob-web gray. Only the old presi-
denotes of Bengal. Bombay and Mad
ras knew the railway. For Rohil-
kund the palki was still the fashion
Safwan is an old, old man now, and
when he speaks he is scarcely Heard
CT IL you pend your ear you Will
hear him whisper, 1.-THE day of the
palki was better when i;incustan
went slowly and softly, when men
were human and not half metal"
We had argued of KIsmet as W.
rode along side by side over tnoss
monotonous, yet fertile plains. In
his Moslem zeal Safwan would yield
nothing to Hindu karma or Christian
free will, with which I piled him.
Suddenly in mid-afternoon he pointed
to distant village and insisted we
camp there for the night.
"Why?' 1 asked in surprise. 1--WE
have three good hours and-can make
Khera Bajhera before dark"
NO." he insisted, "let US camp yon-
der. For in that village 1 can prove
the truth of Kismet. There is a tale
of that village, which. told in its own
setting, will reduce you to submits
sion. 1t cannot fail to win YOU"
l smiled and gave the order to turn
in.
But if it fail, Safwan-"
Then Allah is great. It is beyond
mans help. He has decreed it your
kismet not to believe in Kismet."
We camped in the mango grove on
the edge of the village. After our
evening meal---Christian and Moslem
ate apart-Safwan placed ar our feet
two lanterns we'll filled, with oil. be-
fore he began telling of the tale.
He needed half-darkness he declared
to give the story its proper colors.
