NOVEMBER RED YEAR * A Story of the Indian Nitiry pe By in LOUIS TRALY | Copyright by Mcleod & Allin 'Even while tney were listening to the fitful bellowing of a distant mob bent on mad revel a crackle of musket- ry rang out, but died away as quickly. The budgerow grounded lightly when! her prow ran against the stonework of the ghat. Again did Malcolm make up his mind on the spur of the moment. "I will spare your life on one condi- tion Akhab Khan," he sald. "Go ashore and learn what has taken place at the Magazine. Return here, alone, within five minutes. Mark you, I say 'alone.' If I see more than one who comes I shall shoot." "Huszoor, I shall not betray you." "Go, then." He drew the man through the wa- ter until his feet touched the steps. Climbing up unsteadily, Akhab Khan disappeared in the gloom. Then they walted in silence, The heavy breath of the bazaar was pungent in their nos- trils, and, for a few seconds they lis tened to the tro per's retreating foot steps. Frank ledpeéd ashore and push- ed the boat off, while Mayne held her by jamming the leeward oar into the mud. It was best to make sure. They did not speak. Their ears were strained as their tumultuous thoughts. At last, some one came, a man, and his firm tread of boot-shod feet betokened a soldier. It was the rebel who had become their scout. "Sahib," sald he, "it is even as I told you. Cawnpore is lost to you." "And you, Akhab Khan, do you go or stay?" "Would you have me draw sword against the men of my own faith?" was the despairing answer. "It would not be for the first time," said Malcolm coldly. "But I could never trust thee again. Yet hast thou chosen wrongly, Akhab Khan. When thy day of reckoning comes, may ht be remembered in thy fayor that thou didst turn most unwillingly against thy masters!" Akbab Khan raised his right hand in a military salute. Suddenly, his erect form became indistinct, and faded out of sight. The boat was travelling down Stream once more. Around her the river lapped lazily, and the solemn quietude of the mist-covered waters was accentuated by the far-off turmoil in the city. The huge sail thrust its yard high above the fog bank, and watchers on the river saw it. Some one hailed in the vernacular, and Chumru replied .that they came from Bithgor with hay. Prompted by Malcolm he went on: "How goes the good work, brother?" "Rarely," came the voice. "I have already requited two bunnniahs to whom I owed money. Gold is to be had for the taking. Leave the bud- gerow at the bridge, friend, and join us." The raucous, half-drunken accents substantiated Akhab Khan's story. The unseen speaker was evidently himself a boatman. He was rejoicing} in the upheaval that permitted de to be paid with a bludgeon and money to be made without toil. Mayne caught Frank by the arm. "We are drifting towards the bridge of boats that carries the road to Luck- now across the river," he said, in the | hurried tone of a man who sees a new and paralyzing danger. "There is a drawbridge for river traffic, but how shall we find it, and, in any event, we must be seen." "Are there many houses on the op- posite bank? asked Malcolm. "Not many. They are mostly mud hovels. What is in your mind?" "We might endeavor to cross the river before we reach the bridge. By riding boldly along the Lucknow Road we shall place many wiles be tween ourselves and Cawnpore before day breaks." "That certainly seems to offer our best chance. We have plenty of horses and we ought to be in Lucknow suon after dawn." "What if matters are as bad there?" "Impossible! Lawrence has a whole regiment with him, the 32nd, and lenty of guns. Poor Wheeler, at 'awnpore, ccmmanded a depot, most ly officials on the staff, and invalids. At any rate, Malcolm, We must have some objective. Lucknow spells hops. Neither Meerut nor Allahabad /is at Bodre of men had to labdf Tof hours next day ere it could be cleared. Nevertheless, that which they re- Red as a misforiyng was a blessing. shock of the collision alarmed the horses and one of them climbed like a cat on to the bridge. Frank sprang after him and caught the reins before the startled creature could break away. And that which one horse could de might be done by seven. Bidding ru Arrange some planks to give the others better footheld, he told Winifred and Mayne to join 'him and help in holding the animals as they gained the roadway. A couple of na tives who ran up from the Lucknow side were persmptorily ordered .to stand. Indeed, they were harmless coelies and soon they offered to as- sist, for the deadly work in Cawnpore that night was scarcely known to them as yet. In @& csuple of minutes the fugitives were meunted, each of the men. leading a spare horse, and advancing at a steady trot; though the bridge swayed and creaked a good deal under this forbidden pace, theygsoon found by the upward grade thathey Were cressing the sloping mud bank leading te the actual highway. Thirty-five miles of excellent road new separated them from Lucknow. 'The hour was net late, about half past ten, se they had fully six hours of starlit ebscurity in which to travel, because, though the menth was June, India is net favored with the prolonged twilight of dawn and eve familiar to other latitudes. They clattered through the outlying bazaar without disturbing a soul. Probably every mafi woman amd child able to walk was adding to the din in the great city beyond the river. Par jah dogs yelped at them, some heavy carts drawn across the road caused a momentary halt, and a herd of un- tended buffaloes lying patiently near their byre told the story of the ex- citement that had drawn their keeper across the bridge. Soon they wereuin the open, and a fast canter became permissible. They passed by many a temple devoted to Kali or elephant-headed Budhha, by many a sacred mosque or tomb of Mohammedan saint, by many a holy tree decorated with ribbons in honor of its tutelary deity. Now they were flying between lanes of sugar-cane or tall castor-oil plants, now traversing arid spaces where reh, the efflorescent galt of the earth, had killed all vegeta- tion and reduced a once fertile land to a desert.

The girl herself now came to them. "I refuse to remain alone any longer," she said. "I don't know a quarter of what is going on. 1 have tied the tiller with a rope. Please tell me what is happening and why a man shouted to Chumru from the bank." She spoke calmly, with the pleasant- ly modulated~voice of a well-bred Eng: lishwoman. If aught were wanted to enhance the contrast between the peace of the river and the devildom of Cawnpore it was given in full mea- sure by 'her presence there. How little did she realize the long drawn: out agony that was even then begin- ning for her sisters in that ill-fated entrenchment! It was the idle whim of fortune that she was not with them. And not one was destined to live--not one among hundreds! . But it was a time for action, not for speech. Malcolm asked her gently to 80 back to ie helm and keep it jam- med hard-astarboard until they ar rived at the left bank. Then he took an oar and Mayne and Chumru tack led the other. The three men pulled manfully athwart the stream. They could not tell what progress they were making, and the Ganges ran swiftly in mid-channel, being five times as wide as the Thames at London Bridge. Yet they toiled on with desperate energy. They had crossed the swirl of deer water when a low, straight-edged bar attempt the budgerow crashed against a pontoon and drove its bows ARMY IS REAL SIEGE W MINSTER Idea Is To Recruit a Force Sufficient To Outnumber Police and Im- prison Cabinet Ministers in Their Residences. a London, Nov. 20.--Miss Zelie Em- erson, the leading American suffra. gette in London, who is in charge of the East London division, says: "Our suffrage army is progressing rapidly towards success. The object of the army is to protect militants from the brutality of the police, who during the last month have been ordered by the authorities to 'make no arrests, but inflict as many bodily injuries as possible, "The army will be composed of men and women who will be drilled separately in the use of clubs, fists and jui-jitsu by volunteer instructors skilled in such matters. "Sir Francis Vane, who is in com- mand of the army, purposes to divide the force into units of twenty-five militants, each squad to be in charge of a capable lieutenant. "Strange to say, there.is a larger number of men In our ranks than of women. Hundreds of volunteers offerad their services from the incep- tion of the movement, many of them trained fighters who have seen ser- vice in the regular British army or militia here. "We hope the army will be thor- oughly trained and equipped for ac- tion before the opening of parliament in February. It is then that we ex- pect to have most need of its services, when beleaguering the house of lords and the house of commons and at- tacking members of the British min istry. "If we can recruit our ranks sO as to outnumber the police three to one in any crisis, we can accomplish much effective work, and we may ev- en be successful in imprisoning the members of the cabinet in their homes before we are through. "If we could do that, it would be a great feather in our cap and prob- ably arouse such popular interest that the lethargic Britishers, who control the votes now, would be forced to take stringent action, which probably, would favor our move ment." A COLEBROOK EVENT Bazaar and Concert Paid For Church Organ, Colebrooke, Nov. 20.--The bazaar, fowl supper and concert given by the Ladies" Aid, of Colebrooke Methodist church, on Nov..11th and 12th, was a grand success. Messrs. Boyce and Salisbury, of the Wartman company, kindly gave the use ol their pumpshed for the bazaar and supper. The first floor was used for the dinner tables and the walls and ceiling were entire- ly covered with white bunting decorat- ed with evergreens. The second floor was used for the bazaar. Mrs. N. Boyce and Mrs. G, Riddell, were in charge of the ready-to-wear department; Mrs. G.' Lucas and . Mrs. I. Salsbury sold fancy goods; Mrs. Echardt and Miss Garrison conducted the fish-pond, and Mrs. M. Hufiman presided at the candy table. The re- mainder of the ladies, with some much appreciated outside help, served supper in the dining-place below. This was followed by an excellent concert given in the church. Rev. Mr. Rowland, of Enterprise, acied as chairman and also gave a fine vocal solo. Mrs. Telgmann of Kingston, delighted the large aud- ience with her selections. In her trag- ic roles and delsarte posing, as well as in her humorous selections and child impersonations. She was the acme of perfections. Her daughter, Miss Norma Telgmann, gave some excellent violin pumbers, aad Miss Ruth Walker made a capable accompanist. Miss Georgie Warner gave a delightful vocal solo, and Misses Warner and Woodrufi and A. Hart, gave a couple of trios. Later at the business meeting held at the home of the president, Mrs. A. C. Warner, it was found that the amount gathered on the "name quilt" came to $100.50, The bazaar sales amounted to $164.45, and the pro- ceeds of the tea and = concert were $103.05; This completely wipes out the debt on the organ which was bought by the "Aid" and presented to the church in September last.
