SHA\V', Principal. teed first-class: BUSINESS EDUCATION EXCL'RSIONS TO “What can you expect from an old man who writes verses when he should be punishing malefactors?” said the grain-dealer, bitterly anxious to vent his wrongs. “If you would act wisely, sirdar, leave this bewitched place. It is given over to devils. I am a Hindu. as you know. but Lamworsejnated This later incident came to Mal- colm's ears while Chumru was per- auading a grain-dealer to admit that he had some corn hidden away. The sight of money unlocked the man’s lips. “Would there were more like you in the King’s service,” he Whined. “I have not taken a rupee in the way of trade since the huzoors were driven forth.” “Affairs go badly, then,” Malcolm put in. “Speak freely, friend. We are strangers, and are minded to go back whence we came, for there is naught but mismle in the city so far as we Malcolm knew there was not a word of truth in Mirza Moghul’s brief speech. The Gwalior contingent had gone to Cawnpore. All the men Bar- eilly had to send had already arrived with Bakht Khan, the “havildar of artillery,” who was now the King’s right-hand man. Jhansi, Neemuch, and Lucknow had enough troubles of their own without helping Delhi, and, as for the bankers’ aid, it was easy to guess the nature of the “loan” that the Emperor hoped to extract from them. Indeed, while Malcolm and Chumri and their new associates were wander- ing through the streets and making the circuit of the western wall, there was another incipient riot in the fort. De- lay in issuing the promised rations en- raged the hungry troops. A number hurried again to the Diwan-i-Am, clamored for the king’s presence, and told him roundly that he ought to im- prison his sons, who. they said, had stolen their pay. “If the Treasury does not find the money,” was the threat, “we will kill you gnd your family, for we are mas- It was easy enough to interpret the unhappy tradesman’s real wishes. He was pining for the restoration of the British Raj. Every man in Delhi, who had anything to lose, mourned the day that saw the downfall of the Sirkar. For the hour these brave words suf- ficed. The sepoys trooped out and Malcolm went with them. A backward glance revealed the princess and her brother engaged in a conversation with Bahadur Shah and a courtier or two. Their gestures and manner of argument did not bear out the joyful tidings brought to the conclave by the Shahzada. Indeed, Frank guessed that they were soundly rating the miser- able monarch for having allowed him- self to speak so plainly to his beloved subjects. “At the very time you dared to burst in on the Emperor’s privacy he was arranging a loan with certain local bankers that will enable all arrears of pay to be made up. Today there will be a free issue of cattle, grain and rice. Go, then! Tell these things to all men. and trust to the King of Kings and his faithful advisers, of Whom I am at once the nearest and the most obedient, to lead you to victory against the Nazarenes.” The man had the actor’s trick of making his points. Waiting until an egultant roar of applause had died away, he delivered his most effective hit. There was no need that Malcolm should ask who the pale, haughty, beautiful woman was who came and stood by her father’s side. Roshinara Begum did not share the Emperor’s dejection. She faced the rebels now with the air of one who knew them for the canaille they were. But that was only for an instant. A consummate actress, she had a part to play, and she bent and whispered something to Ba- hadur Shah with a great show of pleased vivacity. A man who accompanied her step« ped to the front of the throne, and his words soon revealed to Malcolm that he was listening to the Shahzada, the heir apparent, erza Moghul. He paused. His statement was news to all present, as, indeed, it well might be, seeing that it was a lie. But his half petulant, half boastful tone was convincing, and saveral voices were raised in a. cry of “Shabash! Good hearing!” “This is no time to create mischief and disunion,” he went on loudly. “Help is coming from all quarters. Gwalior, Jhansi, Neemuch and Luck- now are sending troops to aid us. In three or four days, if Allah be willing, the Ridge will be taken, and every one of the base unbelievers humbled and ruined and sent to the fifth circle of hell.” “Why do you come hither to disturb the King’s pious meditations?” he cried angrily. “You were better em- ployed at the batteries, where your loyal comrades are now firing a salute of twenty-one guns to celebrate the capture of Agra by the Neemuch Bri- gadefi' This was not the sort of consolation that the mob expected or wanted. A hawl of execration burst forth, but It was stayed by the entrance of two people from the private portion of the “I am weary and helpless.” he. said faintly. “I have resolved to make a vow to pass the remainder of my life in senice acceptable to Allah.

When we reach those trees we will bear off towards the pal- ace. Pull up there and dismount. Give me the reins of your horse, and hide {pureelf quickly among the trees. He had to decide quickly, and his decision must be governed not by per- sonal considerations but by the needs of his country. If he had been recog- nized, the enemy would follow him. Therefore, Chumru might outwit them were be given a chance. it is dark. Rejoln those men from Gwalior if possible. and try to get away from the city. Tell the General- aahjb what you have seen and that I ”135'me _Douyou understand?" â€" v- VV" I shall ride 011, and you may be able to godge {nto game ditch or nullah till Glancing over his shoulder at this point, Malcolm caught sight of a dozen sowars riding furiously after them. To dissipate any hope that they might not be in pursuit, he saw the leader point in his direction and seemingly urge on his comrades. It was impos- sible to know for certain what had roused this nest of hornets, though the presence of a man of the 3rd Cavalry in the palace that morning was a sinis- ter fact that led to only one conclu- sion. No matter what the motive, he felt that Chumru and he were trap- ped. There was no avenue of escape Whether they went ahead or made a dash for the city, their pursuers could keep them well in sight, as their tired horses were incapable of a sus- talned effort at t0p speed after having been on the move nearly twenty hours. They heard some shouting at the gate. A bend in the road near the ruined offices of the Delhi Gazette gave tnem a chance of increasing'the pace to a gallop. There was a long, straight- stretch in front, leading past the Telegraph Office, the dismantled magazine, and a small cemetery. Then the road turned again, and by a shorp rise gained the elevated plateau on which stood the fort. “You did well, sahib, to move quick- ly. There was one in the guard yon- der whose eyes grew bigger each sec- ond that he looked at you.” “Now let us center.” said the other, as soon as the horses were fairly 1n the main road. Malcolm obeyed instantly. The warning note in Chumru’s voice was not to be denied. It would be folly to wait and question him. “Turn to the right, huzoor.” he mut- tered. Malcolm was sitting motionless on Nejdl, looking at a squad of rebels erecting fascines in front of a new bat- tery on the river side of the gate. when Chumru, whose twisted vision seemed to command all points of the compass, saw that the commander of a cavalry guard stationed there was regarding them curiously. Whether the origin of the structures is correctly stated or not, they stand to this day where Skinner’s workmen placed them, and it was a dastardly act on the part of men who worshiped in mosque and temple to profane the hallowed shrine of another and far superior faith. by the Brahmms than by men 01' your faith.” “Mayhap you have quamled with some of the sepoys and have a sore feeling against them)?“ “Think n0t so. sirdar. Who am I to make enemies of these lords? Evéry merchant in the bazaar is of my mind, and I have suffered less than many, for I am a poor man and have no fam- 11?.” He wanted to visit the Cashmere Gate and examine its defenses. Then, he believed, he would have obtained all the information that Nicholson re quired. He was certain that Delhi would fall if once the British secured a footing inside the fortifications. The city was seething with discontent. Even if left to its own devices it would speedily become disrupted by the war- ring elements within its bounds. In response to Chumru's request the graindealer allowed the men to cook their food in an inner courtyard. While Malcolm extracted additional de- tails as to the chaos that reigned in the city the newcomers from Gwalior consulted among themselves. They had seen enough to be convinced that there. were parts of India much pre- ferable to Delhi for residential pur- Malcolm saw with a feeling of un- utterable loathing that the mutineers had converted St. James’s Church into a stable. Not so had the founder, Colonel James Skinner, treated the re- ligions of the people among whom he lived. The legend goes that the gal- lant soldier, a veteran of the Mahratta wars, had married three wives, an Englishwoman, a Mohammedan, and a Hindu. His own religious views were of the nebulous order, but, so says the story, being hard pressed once in a fight, he vowed to build a church to his wife’s memory if he escaped. When he came to give effect to it he was puzzled to know which wife he should honor, so he built a church, a mosque and a temple, each at a cor- ner of the triangular space just within the Cashmere Gate. “Bide h re,” he said gruffly, “until Ali Khan and I return, which we will surely do ere night. Then we shall consider what steps to take. At pre- sent, 1 am of the same mind as you.” Chumru and he rode first to the Mori Gate. Thence. by a side road, they followed the. wall to the Cash- mere Gate. Traveling as rapidly as the crowded state of the thoroughfare permitted and thus wearing the sem- blance of being engaged on some ur- gent duty. they counted the guns in each battery and noted their positions. Arrived at the Cashmere Gate they loitered there a fw minutes. This was the key of Delhi. Once it was won, a broad road led straight to the heart of the city, with the palace on one hand and the Chandnl Chowk on the other. “Behold, sirdar!” said one of them after they had eaten, “You led us in, and now we pray you lead us out again. There are plenty here to fight the Feringhis, and we may be more use- ful at Lucknow." Malcolm could have laughed at the strangeness 01 his position, but he saw in this request the nucltus of a new method of Winning his way beyond the walls. “Haunt-l THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Is {there anything in all this world that is of more importance to (you than good digestion?

The Moham- medan‘s eyes blazed with the frenzy of a too complete comprehension of his master’s intent. But now they were behind the trees._and Malcolm was al- readY‘ arming {Verdi 'Ch‘u‘mru flung himself from the saddle and ran. Cowering amid some shrubs of dense ioilage, he watched Malcolm dashing along the road to the Lahore Gate of the palace. A minute later the rebels thundered past, and they did not seem to notice that one of the two horses disappearing in the curved cutting that led to the drawbridge and side en- trance of the gate was rlderless. Chumru ought to have taken imme diate measures to secure his own safety. But he did nothing of the kind. He lay there, watching the bard- riding horseman. and striving moat desperately to do them all the harm that the worst sort of malign impre- cations could effect. They,‘-in turn. vanished in the sunken approach to the fortress. and the unhappy bearer was imagining the horrible rate that had befallen the master, whom he loved more than kith and kin, when he saw the same men suddenly reappear and gallop towards the Delhi Gate, which was situated at a considerable dis- tance. Something had happened to disap- point and annoy themâ€"that much he could gather from their gestures and impassioned speech. Whatever it was. Malcolm-sahib apparently was not dead yet, and while there in life there is hope. Chumru proceeded to disrobe. He kicked off his boots. untied his putties, threw aside the frock-coat and breech- es of a cavalry rissaldar, and stood up in the ordinary white clothing of a na- tive servant. “Shabash!” muttered he, as he un- fastened the military badge in his turban. “There is nothing like a change of clothing to alter a. man. Now I can follow my 831111) and none be the wiser.” With that he walked coolly into the roadway and stepped out leisurely toâ€" wards the Lahore Gate. But he found the massive door closed and the draw- brldge raised, and a gruff voice bade him begone, as the gate would not be Opened until the King's orders were vecelved.
