Perhaps there was never an action so spectacular, so thrilling, so amazingly in earnest, as the contin- uous fight which brought about the It is on record that from the end of the line came a yell of welcome and reCOgnition. The 93rd Highlanders remembered what Campbell had done in the Crimea, and their joyful slogan brought a flush to the bronzed face of the old war dog when he learned the significance of their greeting. E But \ hat fine troops they were who met the commander-in- chiefs gaze as they stood marshaled there, on that Edusty Indian maidan.

I He hurried on, scanning each excited group for one face that he thought he would recognize were it fifty years instead of five months since their last meeting. He, of course, was even a finer-looking and better set-up soldier now than when he galloped along the flame-lit roads of Meerut on that ntver-to-be-forgotten Sunday night in May, and it is not to be wondered at if he failed to allow for the effect on Winifred of the ordeal she had gone through. Perhaps his keen eyes were covered with amist. perhaps the. growing fear Half an hour later Malcolm entered the Res_iden_cy. At first sight it was â€"' wâ€"nuv -kuavu And so the wild fight went on, till Outram and Havelock, Napier, Eyre, Havelock’s son and four other officers ran from the Residency through a tempest of lead showered on them from the Kaiser Bagh, and Hope Grant, dashing forward from the van of Colin Campbell's force, shook hands with the hero of the. First Relief. Next day Captain Garnet Wolseley led a storming party against the Motee Mahal, and the self-sacrificing heroism of the Shah Nujeef was displayed again here and with the same result. artillery to create an effective breach. Yet, if the relieving force failed here, they failed altogether. So Sir Colin asked his men for a supreme effort. Riding forward himself, accompanied by his staff and Sir Adrian HOpe, Colonel of the 93rd, he cheered on his loved Highlanders. Cannot one hear the skirl of the pipes amid that din of cannon and musketry? Cannot one see the shot-torn colors fluttering in the breeze, the plaids of the gallant High- land gentlemen whe led the 93rd, van-' ishing in the smoke and dust? Middle- i ton's battery of the Royal Artillery came dashing up, “the drivers waving their whips, the gunners their caps,” unlimbered within forty yards of the wall, and opened fire with grape. Men and horses fell in scores, but some- how, anyhow, an entrance was gained and the Shah Nujeef was taken. Fee- ble must be the pulse that does not beat faster, dim the eye that does not kindle, as one hears how those Bri- tons fought and died, but did not dieI in vain. __' vâ€"m The taking of the Shah Nujeef alone was worthy of Homeric praise. It was a mosque that stood in a garden, bounded by a high and stout wall and protected by jungle and mud hovels. Its peculiar position. ioined to the number of guns mounted on its walls and the thousands of sepoys who held Second Relief of Lucknow. At the Alumbagh, at the Dilkusha and La Martiniere school, at the Secunder Bagh and the Shah Nujeef, were fought namely-contested combats that in other campaigns would have figured as independent battles. each highly im- portant in the history of the time.

So it may be that the gray .ruins of the Residency, over which the flag flies ever that was kept there so reso- lutely by the men and women in ’57, saw the beginning of another love idyll, destined to end as happily as that which had its being amidst th' terrors and fury of the Mutiny. The End. "1 am sure my mother will be glad to meet you and hear all about those old days at Lucknow? she said shyly. GA u _.-__ ~- ‘X',es really, I’m his grandson. Now, isn’t that the queerest thing? Just imagine the odds against my meeting you here under such conditions? Please tell me your name, and you’ll let Mme ca11,won’t you?” ___, ”MD! a sad experience that she tioned it.

It is an awfully interesting yarn, and I should like some day to have a chance of telling it to you. There is a native princess in it, and a pearl necklace, which is worth quite a lot of mony, and is believed to have been stolen by a sepoy before my grandfather obtained it, quite by accident. And the old (:llapâ€"-he was quite a young chap then, you knowâ€"had a remarkable native servant who did so well at the Mutiny that he became a nawab or something Of the Qnrt Dnnllv- -Lâ€" ; Being a nice young man, the said {officer of the Guides could not bear 5:0 see a nice young woman in distress. 3 “My dogcart is just coming up,” he Fsaid. “and I am going to the Chutter :Munzil. Won’t you let me drive you Tthere?” i She blushed and hesitated and or ,course agreed. “You are stationed here, I suppose ?” she said “No, indeed. My regiment is at Quetta, but I was reared on the records of Lucknow. My grandmother went through the whole of the siege, and my grandfather was with the Second Relief. It must have agreed with their health, for they were both out here two years since, and I went over the Mutiny ground with them.” On thé way, to maintain a polite conversation, he pointed out several higgoric buildings. One day in February, not so long ago, a young officer of the Guides, who had come to Lucknow for “Cup” week, was standing in the porch of the Mohammed Bagh Club when he heard a young lady bewailing fate in the shape of a tikkagharry which had brought her there. Her “people" were at the Chutter Munzil Club, miles away, for Lucknow is a big place, and she was already late for tea. But these arewmatters for the poli- tician and the statesman. It is more fitting that this story of the lives and fortunes of a few of the actors in a great human drama should conclude with such particulars of their subse- quent history as have filtered through time's close-woven meshes of half a century. l The great land of Hindustan has doubled its teeming population and in- creased its prosperity out of all com- parable reckoning during the fifty years that have passed since the Mutiny. Many of the descendants of men who fought against the British Raj are now its trusted servants, and there is not in India to-day a native gentleman of any importance who would not assist the Government with his life and fortune to save his coun- try from the lawless horrors of any , similar outbreak. f. .w- ~ . The Mutiny-was by no means ended -with the fall of Delhi and the Second iRelief of Lucknow. North and south‘ .and east and west the rebels were {hunted with untiring zeal.

But 3the end came, and on November 1, ,1858, amid salvoes of artillery and to 1the accompaniment of festivities in- numerable, Queen Victoria proclaimed ‘ the abolition of the East India (36m- pany, and assumed the sovereignty of the country. Her Majesty took no‘ territory, confirmed all treaties, pro- mised religious toleration and civil equality to all her Indian subjects, and gave full and complete pardon to every rebel who was not a murderer. i l l The Queen’s gracious and peace- bringing words supplied a fitting close to India’s Red Year.
