Then summoning a smart young jemadar with who» he had talked a good deal during the jourrey. he asked him to r;ad the chit. The woman who supplied the chug-attie: fetched a tiny lamp. She hild it while the trooper bent over the strange scrawl, and ran his eyes along it to learn the context. And this is what he read: "To all whom it may concernâ€"Be it known that Malcolm-sahib, late of the Company’s 3rd Regiment of Horse, is a friend of the heaven-born princessl ‘Roshinara Begum, and, provided he‘ comes to the palace at Delhi within‘ three days from the date hereof he is to be given safe conduct by all who owe allegiance to the Light of the World, the renowned King of Kings and lord of all India, Bahadur Shah, Fuzl-Ilahi Panah-i-din.” ' The trooper scowled. Those con- .ciuding wordsâ€"“By the grace of God," Defender of the Faith”â€"â€"perhaps touched a sore place, for he, too, was a true believer. “You are a long way from Delhi, sahib. and the chit is a week old. I suppose you did not pay the expected visit to her Highness the Begum?” he said. '- “ “-gn-m Dusu. “If you are talking of the Begum‘ Roshinara, daughter of the King of Delhi,” put in the woman, who was ready enough to indulge in a gossip with these good-looking soldiers. “she passed through this place to-day.” “Surely you are telling some idle tale of the bazaar,” said Malcolm. “No, sahib. My brother is a grass- cutter in the Nana's stables. While I was at the well this morning a car- riage came down the road. It was a rajah’s carriage. and there were men riding before and behind.

Is he going to fight the Begum’s father?” - a. 1 A 1'\-1\-: :a par they may both be kings." A man’s voice called from the dark- ness, and the woman hurried away. Malcolm. of course, was in a posi- tion to appraise the accuracy of her story. He knew that the Nana, a na- tive dignitary with a grievance aga'nst the Government. was a guest of Baha- dur Shah a n‘onth before the Mutiny hroke out. and was at the Meerut hunting: lodge on the very night of its inctption. Judging by Princess Rcshiâ€" rara's words. her relations with the "rahniin lc ader were far from lover- ‘ike. What, then. did tljis sudden‘ jmrrey to Cawnpore p'irtend? Was ir Hugh Whealer aware of the pro- w‘sred marriage. with all the terribe :‘n‘s m'enees that it heralded? At any rate, his line of action was clear. “Gait the .men together, Akhab Khan.” he said to the jema1‘ar. “We “arch at. once.” \‘Jithin five minutes they were on “:0 road. There was no moon, and the trees bordering bi‘th sides of ths way made the darkness intensé. 'l‘he ‘till atmosphere. too. was almost Werpowering. The dry earth. sun- baked to a depth of many feet, was «riving off its store of heat accumu- It was man, not the elements, that was detined to war that night. The small party of horsemen were riding through the scattered houses of Bit-' thoor, and had passed a brilliantly- lighted palace which Malcolm took to be the residence of Nana Sahib, when they were suddenly ordered to halt. Some native soldiers, not wearing the Company’s uniform, formed a line across the road. Malcolm, drawing his sword, advanced towards them. “Whose troops are you?” he shouted. ; There was no direct answer, but a score of men, armed with muskets and bayonets, and carrying a number of lanterns, came nearer. It must be re- membered that Malcolm, a subaltern of the 3rd Cavalry, wore a turban and sash. He spoke Urdu exceedingly bu ‘ CUUbuauv Lao-n- â€"â€" “We have orders to stop and examine I all wayfarersâ€"” began some man inT authority; but a lifted lantern re- vealed Frank’s White face; instantly several guns were pointed at him. “Follow me!” he cried to the escort. A touch of the spurs sent Nejdi with a. mighty bound into the midst of the rabble who held the road. Malcolm bent low in the saddle and a scattered volley revealed the tree-shrouded houses in a series of bright flashes. Fortunately, under such conditions, there is more room to miss than to hit. None of the bullets harmed horse or man, and the sowards were not quite near enough to be in the line of fire. After a mimk swéen. or tum THE UURHAJA CHRONICLE at Malcolm with his sword, Ma ' 'lin saw“ that his men were laying a utt hem heartily. A pack-horse, however, had stumbled, bringing down the animal ridden by % Chumru, the bearer. To save his faithful servant Frank Wheeled Nejdi, and cut down a native who was lung- ing at Chumru with a bayonet. More shots were fired and a sowar was wounded. He fell, shouting to his comrades for help. A general melee ensued. The troopers slashed att hte men on foot and the sepoys fired in- discriminately at any one on horse- back. The uproar was so great and the fighting so strenuous that Mal- colm did not hear the approach of a body of cavalry until a loud voice bawled: “Why should brothers slay brothers? Cease your quarreling, in the name of the faith! Are there not. plenty of accursed Ferinhis on whom to try your blades” Then the young officer saw, to?

TFhe vkflent shock dazet Malcolm for a second, but all might yet have been well were it not for at unavoidable accident. A sepoy‘s by- onet became entangled in the reins. In the effort to free his weapon th man gave such a tug to the bit on th near side that the Arab crossed hi» fore-legs and fell, throwing his ride violently. Frank landed fairly on h: head.

Lesson THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, II Kings ii, 1-18. Memory Verses, 11, 12â€"Golden Text. Gen. v, 24â€"Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. As we come to Elijah's farewell to l earth for the present we might with I great profit review and ponder his di- ’ rect messages from the Lord. which it I have counted correctly. were just eight (1 Kings xvii. ‘2. 8: xviii. 1; xix. 9. xxi. 17. 28; 11 Kings i. 3. 15). In the previous chapter in eonnection with the messages from heaven to Elijah notice how God observes all that is done for or against Him. and also how He tells His servants when to go or stay. “The ways of man are be- fore the eyes of the Lord. and He non. dereth all his goings" (Prov. v. 21). Note the fire from heaven in chapter 1, 10. 12, and compare Rev. vi. 5. We should have noticed in last les- son the penitenee of Ahab and the Lord’s forbearance and longr suffering (1 Kings xxi. 27-20). Truly He is not ‘ willing that any should perish (11 Pet. iii. 9). Now we came in our lesson u. w day to something wholly unique in the Bible story. for. although Enoch also was translated. we have no record of the incidents connected therewith. Only these two have ever left the earth without dying. but a great company will have this privilege when Jesus shall come to the air for His church (I Cor. xv. 51. 5‘2: 1 'I‘hess. iv. 16-18). There is a fearful record in Rev. xix. 20. of two men who shall be cast into the lake of fire without dying. â€"â€"â€"‘.-‘:An Luc nun» v- .--- This lesson story of the translation of Elijah and the beautiful devotion of Elisha is one of the most fascinat- ing in Scripture and intensely pracy tical. They are more intimately asâ€"l sociated here than anywhere else. and | their names. which are mentioned over 1 twenty times in our lesson and signify ‘ “My God is Jehovah“ and “My God is salvation.” are so suggestive of Him with whom they both walked. l Elisha’s oft repeated “As the Lord liveth and as thy soul liveth I will not leave thee" tverses 2. 4. (it remind E us of the devotion of Ruth to Naomii and of lttai to David for the sake of‘ the God of Israel (Ruth 1. 16. 17; Hi Sam. xv. 21). The expressions ”So they went." “So they came.” “They two went on." “They two stood." “They two went over.” “They still went on and talked" (verses ‘3. 4. (i. 7. S. ll). suggest to us ellmvship the possibility of sueh a f ~- 0 . IV!---.-..I¢ ‘Ll‘: l'\"‘~‘luoI-\.v ..- with the Lord Jesus Christ llimself.l seeing no one but Jesus only with our- ' selves and so occupied with Him that we shall be blind and deaf to all but‘ Him (Mark ix. 8: Acts xxii. ill. The‘ four places mentioned are easily sng-' gestive of different stages of Christian experience. Gilgal reminding us of the reproach of Egypt rolled away. the. past under the blood (Josh. v, 9. 1m. Bethel tells of visions of God. minis- tering angels. etc.: Jericho was where the new captain appeared to Joshua. and the thirteenth round of the city brought down the walls. All this Indicates progress in the divine life. but there is always more for us to enjoy. and we will increas- ingly possess our possessions if we whole heartedly follow on (Obad. xvii; Hos. vi. 3). _ . ‘ ' To Elijah’s question. “Ask what I u shall do for thee." Elisha promptly re- ‘1 plied. “Let a double portion of thy ' V spirit be upon me" (verse 9). When _ Elijah considered what he had passed v through we do not wonder that he said to the man who wanted a double por- tion of his spirit. “Thou hast asked a hard thing." Few are filled with the spirit just for that reason. It is a hardI thingâ€"not hard for God to grant. but for us to be willing to receive. accord- ing to Luke xiv. 26. 27. 33. Many are called. but few are chosen. for the same reason. i I have often tried to picture these two men as they walked on together. We may not know which way Elijah looked. but there can he no doubt about Elisha. for his receiving his heart’s desire depended upon his see. ing Elijah when he was taken from him. How could there be a more stead- fast beholding of a person? If we looked up as steadfastly into heaven as Stephen did (Acts vii. 55) there ‘ would be more of Jesus seen in our lives. Well. the whirlwind came. and the horses and chariot of fire. and Elijah was taken, and Elisha saw it. and. tending his own mantle in two pieces. he took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and went back and stood by Jordan. Elijah is gone. but not so the God of Elijah. With the mantle of Elijah he smote the waters and said. “Where is the Lord God of Elijah '2” The waters di- vided. and Elisha went over. and the sons of the prophets who were watch-l ing said. “The spirit of Elijah doth ; rest on Elisha.” Some people took knowledge of Peter and John that they had been with J esus, and there should be a savor of Him in the lives of all . . His people (Acts iv. 13: II Cor. ii. 14. l 15). To the sons of the prophets’ per- l sistent plea that they might go and ’ search for Elijah, Elisha finally yield- ' ed. They returned after three days of i .vain searching and confessed that they I could not find him. There may be , such searching when the church has . been taken. We next see Elijah in ‘. Matt. xvii alive and well. x.â€"-F'rrst Quarter, For March 5, 1911. mm in our lesson of to- bing wholly unique in the for. although Enoch also 325 ACRES close to Proton Station. wrick dwellingfine large out-buildi windmill c.: bay. 2 tons 1L0 acre. 0% $5,500.
