For the soldiers of "the crown w-oi-p, as a general thing, "iiifii of cultivation sciolis of. aris tocratic houses, and among the pri vates of tho line no little erudition was to be found. The soldiers formed debating clubs and literary societies, and for a time tho Eng lish theatre lit Delhi, gullied oh by the rank alio file of the army, was indispi'iisibh to'the welfare of tho i troops-. . j -j . I Among the officers whose families ( dwell in: the Hjindoostan city was (j'aptuin Judo Wells, a soldier who had .served \'ith distinction in tjie Sikli' campaign some years prior to the da',o of our present story. After tho conclusion of that, brief nnd bloody'war he sent to England fur his family, which consisted of wife and ono child, and soon had the joy of folding the loved ones to his bosom in Delhi. - Years passed away, and AnAie "Wells blossomed into l'oinanticwo- munhoad,'fuT from the English shores, among tho . treacherous Se poys who afterwards deluged India with British blood. Viy the soldii ra she was univer sally beloved, and tho native troops had given" her an Indian liauit, which signifies: "Tlie white pearl of thoj Indies." When tho Hindoo soldiery began fo cxibit signs of dis satisfaction with British rulo in- lndia, tho cloud of trouble darken ed over the devoted heads in Delhi. Annio mingled with tho natives/ and heard more than ono .murmur which afterward? grew into .the whoop of vengeance. . Her infor mation she was not slow to ebni- municato to her father who ihformr ed the British commandant, and tho natives were more closely watched. One calm, night in tho eventful year 1&57, Annie WcIIb was i ac companied from the theatre to per home by Captain Brutus Jar], one of her father's companions-in-nrms. no was a valued friend of the fam ily's, endeared to itpby the fact tjhat ho had saved the father's life in Ithe Pegu war. Ho wad a man of about forty years of age, and "com manded in a Sepoy regiment: I In tho play just over ho. had taken. a prominent part, supporting Annie, who had played .with Buccess the role of tho heroine. "Annie," said-the captain,'." I can conceal' from you no longer tho true feelings of my heart. When you came to Delhi years ago, a girl in years, my love went out to you, and while 1 have watched you blos som into glorious womanhood, it has grown stronger until tho sword of ExOalib.ir cannot sever it.

A few momentsilRter he entend his c uartei'3 and found a Sepoy bey waiting for him. " Well, boy, what is it ?" asked the captain, with wonderment, his eyesjstill gleaming- with lunger. . Without replying the youth dreiv a paper from beneath tho roll of cloih that partly coveretl his boson, and handed it to the soldier. " A letter !" ejaculato-d Captain J.irl, going to the lamp that fllui;i- inated tho apartment. "Ah! 'tis from tho princess. Sho wants m ;. Several minutes later the captain was called down the gloomy stiree :s of Delhi accompanii'd by the Sepcy youth. Ho seemed to know tie thoroughfares that led to his destin ation, for ho turned corners withot t forethought. At last he entered a magnified t building that repruBehtedran Indian temple in many respects. The boy. left, him at t]ib door, retreated away in the darkness and disappeared. Brutus Jarl soon found h'imsc f in a brilliantly lighted room.face fo faco -with a dazzling, beaiitihil, In dian woiiian clad in tho voluptuous fashion of the w.-rm Indies.
