Its numerous buildings housed a multitude of court nobles and , other hangers-on to the court, and each 'of these had his special coterie of at- tendants who helped to advance their own fortunes by clinging to their mas- ter’s skirts. The jealousies and in- :trigues that surround a throne were never more in evidence than at Delhi during the last hours of the Great Mogul. Already men were preparing for the final catastrophe. While the ignorant mob was firm in its belief that the rule of the sahib had passed forever, those few clearer-headed per- sons who possessed any claim to the‘ title of statesmen were convinced that the Mutiny had failed. I He called a chaprassi and bade him hold Chumru’s steed. Then, learning from the uproar at the gate that the guards were obeying his instructions literally, he went on at an easier pace. Not to create too great a stir, Mal- colm pulled up both horses at the entrance to the arcade. Already the story was going the rounds that the precious life of Baha- dur Shah had actually been threatened by the overbearing sepoysâ€"what more likely than that this hard-riding offi- cer was coming to apprise his majesty of a genuine plot, while the flying squadron in the rear was striving to cut him down before the fateful mes- sage was delivered? The spectacle of a well-mounted se- poy officer, blood-stained and travel- worn, who arrived in such desperate haste and was evidently pursued by a body of horse, so startled the atten- dants that they banged and bolted the great door without further ado. “Close and bar’ the door! None must be admitted without the King’s special order!" Crossing the drawbridge at a fast pgallop, he saw a number of guards ‘looking at him wonderingly. It oc- curred to him that the exciting events of the early hours might have led to orders being given on the question of admitting sepoys in large numbers. If that were so, he might gain time by a bit of sheer audacity. At any rate, there was no harm in trying. As he clattered through the gateway he shouted excitedly: Malcolm was not one to throw his life away without an effort to save it. Once, during a visit to Delhi, Captain Douglas, the ill-fated commandant of the Palace Guards, had taken him to his quarters for tiffin. As it happened, the two entered by the Delhi Gate and walked through the gardens and corri- dors to Douglas”s rooms, which were isituated over the Lahore Gate. Thus he possessed a vague knowledge of the t0pography of the citadel, and his visit that morning had refreshed his memory to a slight extent. On that slender reed he based some hope of; escape. In any event he prayed that! his ruse might better Chumru’s chances. and he promised himself a soldier’s death if brought to bay in- side the palace.

It was hard to tell what hue and cry might be raised by the tr00pers against whom the guards ,had closed the Lahore Gate. Perhaps they were searching for two men and the finding of one horse in charge of a chaprassi might suggest that the rider of the other and his companion had dodged through the Delhi Gate. Again, his pursuers might have gal- loped straight to the other exit and thus..made certain that he was still in the palace. If that were so, and they ferreted him out, as well die here as elsewhere. Meanwhile, he chewed, troi. a peg, put a halter on the lrabjâ€"a'd: Justed the heel-rcpes, and hunted the adjoining stalls for forage. He came upon some grain in a sack and a quantity of hay. All provender was alike to Nejdi so long as it was toothsome. gHe was soon busily en- gaged, and Malcolm resolved to avoid observation by grooming him when anybody passed whose gaze might be too inquisitive. If only he could evade capture until nightfall he would no longer feel that each moment might find him making a last fight against impossible odds. Dismounting, he led Nejdi to an un- occupied stall.

Near Akhab Khan an ~-scort of sowars stood by their horses, and Malcolm felt that the instant the former lance-corporal set eyes on either Nejdi or himself rec0gnition 'would follow as surely as a vulture knows its prey. He could neither dawdle nor hesi- tate. Wheeling Nejdi towards the nearest arch on the left, he found him- self in an open space between the walls of the fortress and the outer line of buildings. Underneath the broad terrace, from which troops could de- fend the battlements, stood a row of storerooms and go-downs. At a little distance he could distinguish a line, of stables, and the mere sight sent the ? blood dancing through his veins. 1 He crossed the large garden beyond the arcade and was making for an arch that gave access to thelong cov- ered passage leading to the Delhi Cate, when he saw Akhab Khan stand- ‘ng there. orgy had ended, and the day 01' reck- oning was near.

On the one hand, he was threading his way through a maze of conflicting interests, and this was a circumstance most favorable to his chances oi escape; on the other, every man regarded his neighbor with dis- trust and a stranger with positive sus- picion, while Malcolm’s distinguished appearance could not fail to draw many inquiring eyes. would hile, he chewed few grains of the the outcome of W beyond his con- ort.

The walls were brightened with mosaics wrought in precious stones. Texts from the Koran in the flowing Persi-Arabic script, ran above the arches. In the floor, composed of colored tiles, was set a pachisi board, as the wide en- trance hall to a European house might have a chess-board incorporated with the design of the tiled floor. “Nay, I obey orderâ€"s? nvas the response. “Enter, then, and ma; Ian prosper you.” “Who is it, warragied guide, scornfully, for he was : by tpe egnuAch’s familiar tone. “There is one other w the__g_1_1ard, leering at them “You will see your way more clearly now," was the reassuring message, and when the second door was opened the rays of a lamp lit the stone walls and floor. They went on, through lofty corridors, across sequestered gardens and by way of many a stately chamber until another narrow passage termi- nated in a barred door, guarded by an armed native. The man’s shrill voice betokened his calling, and Frank knew that he was standing at the entrance to the zenana. His guide set off at a rapid pace. When they were near the great arch leading into the garden they halted in front of a small door in a dimly- .‘ighted building, and the native rapped twice with his knuckles on three sepa- rate panels. Some bolts were drawn and the two were admitted, the door being instantly barred behind. them by an attendant. The darkness in the passage was impenetrable. Frank held himself tensely, but his companion’s This was so manifestly reasonable that Malcolm felt rather ashamed of his doubts. Yet, he thought it best not to appear to relax his precautions: “I would not pass through the pal- ace with a sword in my hand,” he said with a quiet laugh, “but I have a pis- tol in my belt, and that will suffice for six men."
