I was told before I left Rangoon that I should find there no lack of opportunity to distinguish myself :and I soon discovered how truly this hint reflected the condition v of this district. The country was literally overrun with dacoifs, who found it a peuzliarly favourable field for their 'ual- practices. The villages were small, far. apart, and, comparatively speaking. well-to. -' do ; roads were practically ml : and bound- ‘less tracks of jungle and teak-forest :iilbrd- . ed secure shelter for the light-heeled gang- iobbers who haunted them.

For weeks together I hunted his gang from cover to cover and from village to village. Such jungle work during the hot mason is not conducn'e to health of either whiic man or native. By the time the “ rains" were due, my constables were completely worn out by the hardships of their life, while I myself was almost incapa- l citatcd by repeated attacks of fever, brought " on by sleeping out in marshy jungle and living on the poorest diet. At intervals I took my men back to Pyeemana, to let. them rest and recruit ; but these iuucli-necded holidays from dacoit-liunting ncvcr lasted very long. Sometimes an alarm from a remote corner of the district drew us out on a wildgoose chase ; or impatient. despatchcs from headquartes asking what was being done, and how I explained the continued paralysis of trade in my locality : or private letters from my superiors, urging me to renewed efforts, drove me out into the forests again with followers scarcely fit to; carry their own rifles. - g I was tliorou lily sick of the whole busi- l ness, and woult have done anything to get 3 rid of the perpetual worry, when I was sur- I A prised by a Visit from the officer in charg ; of the Police Department. He had , come to Pyeemuna to “ inspect,” for which ordeal I was quite prepared ; but besides inspection, he came to give me new and unexpected instructions regarding the attitude I was to assume towards the (lztcoils'. ‘Thc Government,’ he said, ‘lias determined to try what effect an offer of Pardon will pro- duce on these fellows. Do you think any of those who are hurrying your district would come in if promised free pardon for past offences '2’ I considered the question carefully. Although we had failed to bring down or arrest any of the outlaws, we had kept them so reinorselessly on the move that they had had no time to do mischief for the last two months. No man grows tired of his business sooner than an idle dacoit, and Bob Hlan had made no raids worth any thing lately. I believed many would ‘comc in ’ if they could be convinced they might do so without fear of the consequences. . ‘Vcry good,’ said my chief. ‘You are eui~ powered to treat with the dacoits in your district on these terms : full pardouto every man who has not a price upon his head who comes in and gives up his arms before the Slat. July next. See what you can do.’ He went away next day, leaving me to my own devices. 1 cannot say I relished the idea of carrying out these instructions. I was obliged to confeSS to myself that with the means at, my command I could make little headway against the storm of crime ; but to offer free ardon looked two much like admission of) disability to be palatable tonic. However, the order had been given, and I resolved to turn the chance it offered to the best account: I lost. no time. I determined to begin with Bob Illan, who chanced,quite undeservedly, not to be one of those for whose headarcward had been reclaimed. He was the greatest post I but to deal with, and. moreover, he had his band so well in hand, that ifhe con- sented to apply for pardon I felt~certain his entire following would do the same. So. an hour after Colonel X. had gone, I sent an orderly to summon the old plioonyg/rv (priest) who was the sole occupant of the tiny mon- astery outside Pyecmanu. The person of a phoougvec is peculiarly sacred even to ducoits ; and I subjected the old man to no risk in appointing him my ainlinmulor to Bob Illan. The phoongyec soon appeared, and enter- ed the veranda of my house at the slow statel ‘ pace observed by the Buddhist priest iood. He had th'll a tall man: but now he was bent with age : and the yellow robe which had fallen from his shoulder dis- covered a frame as gaunt and shrivcllcd as that of a mummy. With his shaven head, sunken cycsaud checks, and dry-parchment- like skin, he looked a messeu or more fitting to carry tidings of Deaf this of Peace. Illllrlll though be up ared, he was still activc in l ody and mini ; and when I had ex- plained wlint l wanted with him, be readily consented to ‘ help the (leverniiieut side.’ l‘ould lic ascertain Bob lilan's present llldi! .plucc, land uinkc h‘s way thither!

Would he oblige me by seeking out the dacoit leader again, and telling him I would meet him at Thongway on the day named?â€" My adviser flatly refused; he would help no man to his death. “ Did Bob Hlan say he would be there on Thursday?” I inquired. ‘ Your honour, he did ; but’â€"â€" I cut the old gentleman short, and told him he had permission to go home to his monastery. This was Monday, and I had no time to waste in fruitless argument. I did not grow more euaiiioured of the plan as I thought over it. Bob lIlan was a thorough scoundrel. I could not forget-"that Iliad in our only skirmish, with my own gun wounded him in the arm ; and he was not likely to have forgotten it either. But I was determined to meet him.

I was up at daylight, making my last preparations, and giving my sergeant orders to be cariied out in event of my non-return ; but I did not set out for the rendezvous until the sun was high.
