KANSAS CITY. Sept. 18-There's
no end to the troubles of Don Faurot,
University of Missouri football coach.
In fact, there are no ends-the
only positions for which he lacks
letterman holdovers. Even his sup
ply of reserves is diminishing
rapidly.
Walter Boain, 1887 letter wing
man, turned up for one practice,
then decided to quit because he had
been away from the game so long.
A re-injured knee sent Frank
Amelung, reserve last season, to the
Eidelines.

"Rundhia," said Lynn, 81 will
promise to marry you, if you will
write, and sign, a retraction of any
and all accusations against Captain
Norwood. You must put it in the
form of letter to the British Resi-
dent, and it must be witnessed by
the Maharanee and the Maharajah.
You must meet Captain Norwood in
my presence, and the Mahara-
nee's, and you must say to him per-
sonally that you withdraw. won't
ask you to beg his pardon, because
/ won't do that. I won't speak to
him. But / insist on your behaving
like man."
The Maharanee spoke suddenly
with a ring of command in her
voice:
"Rundhia, go to the table and
write!"
Rundhia went to the table. Lynn
sat down beside the Maharanee:
"Maharanee dear, you must be
my wise friend, for am all in the
dark. I feel so western and so lone
ly, and l don't know whether I am
doing right or wrong. But will
do my best"
Lynn"
Lynn interrupted her: "Will you
make me a promise? VIII you new
er, never tell Captain Norwood why
I married Rundhia? VIII you keep
it a secret?"
The Maharanee was silent for
nearly a minute. She was not quite
dry-eyed. She spoke suddenly, low
voiced:
'sLynn, do you love Captain Nor
wood?"
"Maharanee dear, I have prom
ised to marry Rundhia."

mo. Not too strong. You must
not get the habit. After this, YOU
will need your faculties and self
control, if we are not to be found
out. I will give you just sufficient
to steady your nerves."
The Maharajah stared, noted the
expression on Rundhia's face when
he entered the room and made a
warning gesture toward the Punjabi
stamp salesman.
"Can he understand English?"
Rundhia demanded.
"I believe not"
.'Well, / will speak English. If
he does understand it, il won't much
matter. want you to call up the
Resident and demand the immedi-
ate arrest of Captain Norwood!"
"Why?" asked the Maharajah.
"He has not only taken a bribe
from the priests, as you already
know"
''I have heard it said.'
'You know it's true. And now he
has assaulted me. He knocked me
out with a punch in the face"
Were you drunk" asked the Ma
harajah. And, before Rundhia could
answer: ''It would be beneath my
dignity to ask the Resident to take
official cognizance of a brawl be-
tween two drunkards."

She couldn't continue. She felt
like crying. Suddenly she controlled
herself and looked straight in his
eyes:
Captain Norwood. If you please.
/ must go and look after Rundhia.
Will you let me get by?"
Norwood didn't move: "What did
you say in your letter." he asked.
''If you despised me too much to
read it, why ask that now? I know
you got the letter. 1t was sent by
one of the Maharanee's messengers,
who came back and said he had
given it to you. He said you tore
it up; he saw you do it."
did the messenger tell you
that?"
'He told Rundhia.'
"Oh," said Norwood.
O'Leary whistled, in the distance,
somewhere between the kiosk and
the palace front gate. Rundhia
groaned again. BY the noise, he
appeared to be helping himself to
his feet by holding on to the shrub
berry. Norwood called to him:
'Are you all right, Rundhia?"
''None of your business!" said
Rundhia's voice from the darkness.
I'm going to have you arrested. "
Rundhia's footsteps went stagger-
ing away in the direction of the pal
ace.
Norwood faced Lynn again: "Sor-
r.. I'm in a hurry. Would YOU

"See you as soon as I can"
Lynn spoke abruptly: lone mo-
ment, Captain Norwood. You say
you have said what you think of me
in this letter? l said what I thought
of myself and of you, in my letter
to you. You tore mine up"
She tore up Norwood's letter. She
scattered its fragments into the
darkness.
"Good-by!"
Careful down those steps," said
Norwood. "See you later"
'Why?" Lynn answered.
Norwood swung himself down
from the wall, by the baobab ten
drill. He swung himself on to his
horse and was off at a gallop.
O'Leary had whistled three times.
That meant urgent"

Inc nOrSeS ana tnelr rluerS were
invisible in the shadow where the.
high wall curved away from the
moonlight. O'Leary spoke hoarsely:
"That must ha' been a snorter!
You could ha' heard that punch half
way to Delhi. Who did you hit?"
mind your own business. Why
did you whistler"
"Stoddart sent a man from camp
to overtake you. He gave the mes
sage to me. He said there'd come
a sweeper, running like hell, from
Mrs. Harding in the guesthouse. She
it's important, and won't you come
quick?"
"What's become of the sweeper"
''He lit out. He said all's quiet at
the palace"
Nothing else new?"
"No."
Norwood thought a second: "You
go to the Residency. Ask to see
the Resident in person. Give your
message to nobody else. Here
here's my card. Send that in. Ask
the Resident to stand by the phone
and expect a call from me at any
minute"
'Do know anything, if he asks?"
mo. Look here, O'Leary: I know
what I'm going to do, but I don't
know what will happen. You follow
the Resident to the palace. Slip in
through the gate after him and
watch for that Bengali doctor. Hold
him, if you catch him coming out or
going in. When you see me coming
out of the palace, if I hold up my
right hand, let him go. If I hold UP
both hands, turn him over to the
gate guard. You've no police pow
er, remember. So be careful"
Norwood was off at full gallop,
with the sais hard after him, be-
fore O'Leary could answer. He
drew rein at the palace gate and
was delayed there for moment or
two by an argument between the
commander of the gate guard and
an Indian contractor, who had
turned up with a motor truck for
Mrs. Harding's luggage and a car
for Mrs. Harding. Because Nor
wood was in uniform, the contractor
appealed to him:
"Sir, I am refused admission. Sir,
/ have an order from the American
lady, Mrs. Harding, to collect her
luggage and to convey her to the
station. 1t is long way and bad
road. She has already paid me. I
fear we shall not catch the midnight
train unless"
The commander of the gate guard
drew Norwood aside: "It is his hon
or the Residents wish," he said
quietly.
"No business of mine," said Nor
wood. MAY I leave my horses in
side the gate?"
The great gate changed behind
him. He walked to the guesthouse.
Mrs. Harding was no longer recum-
bent on pillows on the chaise Tongue.
She seemed even to have partially
recovered from her lameness. She
was seated bolt upright on one of
her trunks, on the garden path, in
front of the veranda door.
There's no understanding you
English" she remarked. "Why don't
you use your title?"
81 haven't one."
"But your brother is an Earl, isn't
he? So you're an Honorable, aren't
your"
"That is not what you inferred at
| our last interview"
"Well, didn't know who you are.
How could 7? have letter for you,
from Lynn. But the envelope was
addressed to me. I have thought
it over, and I suppose she must
have put it into the wrong enve-
lope by mistake, because have re-
ceived no answer to my letter to
her. Here it is"
Norwood stepped on to the veran-
da to read it by the light from the
window.
