Had tifiin with the Bengalcsc. Lat- est news from home that two attempts had been made on the Queen's life by semi-maniacs named Francis and Bean. It promises to be a hard winter. The snow line has descended a thousand feet upon the peaks. but the passes will be open for weeks to come, and even if they ware blocked. we have established so many depots in the country that Pollock and Nott will have no difficulty in holding their own. They shall not meet with the fate of Elphinstone's army. One such tragedy is enough for a. century.

I only hepe we get a fair chance of showing what we can do. No doubt these fellows at the front will have C. B.'s and knighthoods showering upon them thick and fast, while we poor devils, who have had most of the responsibility and anxiety, will be passed over com- pletely. Elliott has a whitlow. The last convoy left us a large packet of sauces. but as they forgot to leave anything to 'eat with them, we have handed them over to the Sowars, who drink them out of their pannikins as if they were liquors. We hear that another large convoy may be expected from the plains in the course of a day or two. Took nine to four on Cleopatra for the Calcutta Cup. men to attempt to face such a welLdi- rected fire. The leaders were bowled over, and the others. after hesitating for a. few moments, turned and made for the rocks. It was our turn now to assume the otl’en~ sive. The guns were unlimbered and grape poured into them. while our little infantry force advanced at the double, shooting and stabbing all whom they over- took. Never have I known the tide of battle to turn so rapidly and so decisive- ly. The sullen retreat became a flight, and the flight a. panic-stricken rout, un- til thero was nothing left of the tribes- men except a scattered demoralized rabble flying wildly to their native fastness for shelter and protection. I was by no means inclined to let them off cheaply now that I had them in my power. 0n the contrary. I determined to teach them such a lesson that the sight of a single scarlet uniform would in fu- ture be a passport in itself. We followed hard upon the track of the fugitives and entered the Ternda defile at their very heels. Having detached Chamberlain and Elliott with a company on either side to protect my wings, I pushed on with my Sepoys and. a. handful of artillerymcn. giving them no time to rally or to re- cover themselves. We were so handi~ capped, however, by our stiff European uniforms and by our want of practice in climbing, that we should have been unâ€" able to overtake any of the mountaineers had it not. been for a fortunate accident. There is a smaller ravine which opens in- to the main pass, and in their hurry and confusion- some of the fugitives rushed down this. I saw sixty or seventy ofl them turn down. but I should have passcdi them by and continued in pursuit of the main body had not one ofJny scouts come rushing up to inform me that the smaller ravine was a cul-de-sac, and that the Afreedecs who had gone up it had no possible means of getting out again ex- cept by cutting their way through our WHEN IT’S HO’I‘ AN‘D‘STI‘C‘K' . x v“). r ‘ 1 >7 3 "N - 5!

Desist, lest the wrath of the gods fall upon you." “Stand aside, old man." I shouted. "You will meet with a hurt if you don't get out of the way." I could see that the hillmcn were taking heart. and that some of my Sepoys were flinching, as if they did not relish this now enemy. Clearly. I must act promptly if I wished to complete our success. I dashed forward at the head of the white nrtillerymon who had stuck to me. Theold fellow rushed at us with his arms out as if to stop us; but it was no time to stick at trifles. so I passed my sword through his body at the same mo- ment that one of the gunners brought his And Some Women.

On the other hand each convoy is usually provided with some guard of its own, though it is often ab- surdly inefficient. These valleys and rav~ *ines which branch out of the main pass are alive with Afreedees and Pathans, who are keen robbers as well as religious fanatics. I wonder they don’t swoop down on some of our caravans. They could plunder them and get back to their mountain fastnesses before we could in- terfere or overtake them. Nothing but fear will restrain them. If I had my way I would hang one at the mouth of every ravine as a. warning to the gang. They are personifications of the devil to look at, hawknosed, full-lipped, with n. mane of tangled hairL and most Satanic sneer. No news today from the front. October 2.â€"I must really ask Herbert for another company at the very least. I am convinced that the communications would he cut 011' if any serious attack were made upon us. Now, this morning two urgent messages were sent me from two different points more than sixteen plenty of pluck when they get started. I have devised an excellent plan, and it has Elliott's hearty support. By Jove! if we can onlv manage it. it. will be as pretty a ruse as ever I heard of! Our intention is to give out that we are go- ing down the valley to meet the convoy and to block the mouth of a pass from which we professio expect an attack. Very good. We shall make a night march to-night and reach their camp. Once there I shall conceal my two hundred men in the wagons and travel up with the convoy again. Our friends the enemy having heard that we intended to go south. and seeing the caravan going north without us. will naturally swoop down up- on it under the impression that we are twenty miles away. We shall teach them such a. lesson that they would as soon think of stopping a. thunderbolt as of in- terfering again with one of Her Britan- nic Majesty's provision trains. I am all on thorns to be oil’. Elliott has rigged up two of his guns so .ingeniously that they look more like light above us, which was farther re- duced by the feathery fringe of palm trees and aloes which hung over each lip of the chasm. The cliffs were not more the entrance, but as we advanced they grow nearer and nearer, until a half com- pany in close order could hardly march abreast. A sort of twilight reigned in this strange valley. and the dim. uncer- tain light made the great basalt rocks loom up vague and fantastic. There was no path. and the ground was most un- even. but I pushed on briskly, cauticning my follows to have their fingers on their triggers, for I could see that we were nearing the point where the two cliffs would form an acute angle with each other; At last we came in sight of the place. A great pile of boulders were heaped up at the very end of the pass. and among these our fugitives were skulking, entire- ly dcmoralized apparently. and incap. able of resistance. They were useless as prisoners, and it was cut of the question upon it. (To be continued.) .._.___>n_._._ Weather Lore. It is universally recognized that a “high dawn” is the Sign of a bad day, for it shows that the lower levels are thick with masses of va- por. A “low dawn,” on the other hand, is a pretty sure pledge of a fine day. Gloom and storm are likely to follow a rainbow which appears in the morning, while a vivid straw-colored sunset foretells violent wind. Some folk say that when rain follows it kills the wind. Rain does not affect the Wind.

I saw no signs of the hillmen, and though we were greeted by a gutter of jczail bullets we were un- able to capture any of the rascals. Woe betide them if they fall into my hands! I would give them as short a shift as ever a Highland cateran got from a Glas- gow judge. These continued alarms may mean nothing or they may be an indica- tion that. the liillmen are assembling and have some plan in view. We have had no news from the front for some time. but. to-day a convoy of _ wounded came through with the intelli- gence that Nott had taken Khuznce.

I have only just got back, tired and weary, stained with blood and dust, but I have sat down before either washing or changing to have the satisfaction of seeing our deeds set forth in black and whiteâ€"if only in my private log for no eye but my own. I Dawson used to say that there were de- grees of comparisonâ€"a prevaricntion. a- lie. and an oflicial account. We at least. cannot exaggerate our success. for it would be impossible to add anything to it. We set out then, as per programme, and came upon the camp near the head of the valley. They had two weak compan- ies of the 54th with them who might no doubt have held their own' with'warning. but an unexpected rush of wild hillmcn is a very difficult. thing to stand against. With our reinforcement, however, and on our guard. we might defy the rascals. Chamberlain was in commandâ€"~a fine young fellow. We soon made him under- Istand the situation, and were all ready for a start by daybreak, though his wug‘ (ms were so full that we were compelled to leave several tons of fodder behind in order to make room for my Sepoys and for the artillery. About five o'clock we inspanned. to use an Africanism, and by .six-we were well on our way. with our escort as straggling and unconcerned as possible-as helpless looking a caravan as ever invited attack. I could see that. it was to be no false tulnrm this time, and that the tribes really meant business. From my post of observation under the canvas screen of ‘Olle of the wagons I could make out tur- .buued heads popping up to have a look But us from among the rocks. and an oc- Iousional scout hurrying northward with the news or our approach. It was not, however, until we came abreast of the l'i‘eradn Pass, a. gloomy defile bounded by .gigantic cliffs. that the Afreedees began lto show in force. though they had am- abusth themselves so cleverly that had {we not been keenly on the lookout for lthein. we might have walked right into film trap. As it- was, the convoy halted, ,upon 'which the hillnien seeing that they iwcre observed, opened a heavy but ill- ldirected tire upon us. I had asked Cham- ‘bcrlain to throw out his men in skirm- ishng order, and give them directions to ,retrcut slowly upon the wagons so as t0 zdruw the Afrecdecs on.

In the side of the cliff. close to the pile of stones where the hillmen were making their last stand, there was a cave which looked more like the lair of some Wild beast than a human habitation. Out of this dark archway there suddenly elner- ged an old manâ€"such u very, very old! man that all the other veterans whom I have seen were as chickens compared to him. His hair and beard were both as white as snow. and each reached more than half way to his waist. His face was wrinkled and brown and bony, a cross between a monkey and a mummy, and so thin and emaciated were his shrivclcdu limbs that you would hardly have given him credit for having any vitality left, than a couple of hundred yards apart at apparition came rushng out of the cavai and, throwing himself between the fugi- tives and our fellows, motioned us back with as imperious a sweep of the hand as ever an emperor used to his slaves. , the barometer falls sharply you should prepare yourself for bad weather, for a gale will come soon- er or later. >3 Hard-worked Father-~“I cannot see why you dislike work; to me its real enjoyment.” Lazy Son â€"â€" “That’s it.
