V V J: J ! -s ! . i i I': '15 r 5 i I i Fof Thin Children. Children are always thin and pale when they do not assimilate enough fat. This seems-strange, perhaps, burtt is literally-true. Unless there is a healthy as similation of fat food the blood becomes depleted,, tissues waste away, vitality becomes low and the body languishes for the need of proper nourishment. Scott's Emulsion is useful to children, especially in two ways. It is Cod liver Oil emulsionized, thus being easily assimilated and rendered palatable, with the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda added to tone up the nervous system and nourish the bones. This combination of these potent nutrients is just what thin children need to give them flesh, color and vitality. Almost all children like it. ' Don't be persuaded to accept a substitute !

Still, I bear no grudge for that. It is oil fair and above-board. If you want to hear my Btory I have no wish to hold it back. What I say to you is God's truth, every word of it. Thank you; you can put the glass beside me here, and . I'll put my lips to it if I am dry. "I am a Worcestershire man myself born near Pershore. 1 dare say you would find a heap of Smalls living there now if you were to look. I have often thought of taking a look round there, but the truth is that I was never much of a credit to the family, and I doubt if they would be so very glad to see me. They were all steady, chapel going folk, small farmers, well known and respected over the country-side, while I was always a bit of a rover. At last, however, when I was about eighteen, I gave them no more trquble. "for I got into a mess over a girl, and could only get out of it again by tak ing the queen's shilling and joining the Third Buffs which was just starting for India. "I wasn't destined to do much sol diering, however. I had just got past the goose-step and learned to handle my musket, when I was fool enough to go swimming in the Ganges. Luckily for me, my company sergeant, John Ilolder, was in the water at the same time, and he was one of the finest swimmers in the service. A crocodile took me, just as I was half way across, and nipped off my right leg Just as clean as a surgeon could have done it, just above the knee. What with the shock andthe loss of blood I fainted, and I should have been . drowned if Ilolder had not caught hold of me and paddled for the bank. I was five months in hospital over It, and when at last I was able to limp out of it with I found myself invalided out of the I army and unfitted for any active occu pation. "I was, as you can imagine, pretty down on my luck at this time, for I was a useless cripple, tkough not yet in my twentieth year. However, my misfortune soon proved to be a bless- A. UlSn ' tottt -og-ln"ai5gTllser- white, who had come out there as an indigo-planter, wanted an overseer to look after his coolies and keep them up to their work. He happened to be a friend of our colonel's, who had taken aa interest in me since the accident. IIOW HE LOST HIS LEO. To make a long story short, the colonel recommended me strongly for the post and, as the work was mostly to be done on horseback, my leg was no great obstacle, for I had enough knee left tolieep a good grip on the saddle. What I had to do was to ride over the plantation, to keep an eye on the men as they worked, and to report the idlers. Thepay was fair, I had com fortable quarters, and altogether I was content spend the remainder of my life in indigo-planting. Mr. Abelwhite -was a kind man, and he would often drop into my little shanty and smoke a pipe with me, for white folk out there feel their hearts warm to each other as they never do here at home. - "Well, I was never in luck's way , long. Suddenly, without a note of warning, the great mutiny broke upon us. One month India lay as still and peaceful, to all appearance, as Surrey or Kent; the next there were two hun dred thousand black devils let loose, and the country was a perfect hell. Of course you know all about it, gentle men a deal more than I do, very like ly, since reading is not in my line. I Only know what I saw with my Qwn eyes. Our plantation was at a place called Muttra, near the border of the northwest provinces. Night after night the whole sky was alight with the burning bungalows, and day after day we had small companies of Euro peans passing through our estate with their wives and children, on their way to Agra, where were the nearest troops.

Well, one fine day the crash came. I had been away on a distant plantation, and was riding slowly home in the evening, when my eye fell upon something all huddled together at the bottom of a steep nullah. I rode down to see what it was, . and the cold struck through my heart when I found it was Dawson's wife, all cut into ribbons,. and half-eaten by jackals and native dogs. A little further up the road Dawson himself was lying on his face, quite dead, with an mpty revolver in his hani and four Sepoys lying across each other in front I of him. 1 reined up my horse, wonder- s Ing vwhich way I should turn, but at ' that moment I saw thick smoke curl- ing un from Abelwhito's bungalow and j the flames beginning to burst through the roof. I knew then that I could do my employer no good, but would only throw my own life away if I meddled in the matter. From where I stood I could see hundreds of the black fiends, with their red coats still on their backs, dancing and howling round the burning house. Some of them pointed at me, and a couple of bullets sang past my head; so I broke away across the paddy-fields, and found myself late at night safe within the walls at Agra. "As it proved, however, there was no great safety there, either. The whole country was up like a swarm of bees. Wherever the English could collect in little bonds they held just the ground that their guns commanded. Every where else they were helpless fugi tives. It was a njrht of the millions against the hundreds; and the crudest part of it was that these men that we fought .against, foot, horse and gun ners. were our own nicked troons. ! whom we had taught and trained, : handling our own weapons, and blow- ! ing our own bu.ele calls. At Agra there : were the Third Bengal Fusiliers, some Sikhs, two troops of horse and a battery of artillery. A -volunteer corps of clerks and merchants had been formed. 8nd this' I joined, wooden leg and all.

It is a very ! very queer place the queerest that ever I was in, and I have been in some rum corners, too. First of all, it is enormous in size. I should think that the inclos ure must be acres and acres. There is a modern part, which took all our gar rison, women, children, stores and everything else, with plenty of room over. But the modern part is nothing t.TiA siv.f of thf ol(1 nnxripr wVicfA nobody goes, and which is given over to ! the scornlons and the centinedes. It Is all full of great deserted halls, and winding passages, and kjng corridors j twisting" in and out, so that it Is easy : for folks to get lost in it. For this rea- ! son it was seldom that anyone went into it, though now and again a party with torches might go exploring. i "The river washes along the front of the old fort, and so protects it, but on the sides and behind there are many doors, and these had to be guarded, of course, in the old quarter as well as in that which was actually hold by our troops. We were short-handed, with hardly men enough to man the angles of the building and to serve the guns. It was impossible for us. therefore, to station a strong guard at everyone of the innumerable gates. What we d,l& was to organize a central guardhouse in the middle of the fort, and to leave each gate under the charge of one white man and two or three natives. I .was selected to take charge during cer tain hours of the night of a small iso lated door upon the southwest side of the building. Two Sikh troopers were placed under my command, and I was instructed if anything went wrong to fire my musket, when I might rely upon help coming at once from the central guard. As the guard was a good two hundred paces away, however, and as the space between was cut up into a labyrinth of passages and corridors, I had great doubts as to whether they could arrive in time to be of any use in case of un actual attack. "Well, I was pretty proud at having this small command given me, since I was a raw recruit, and a game-lefrged one at that. For two nights I kept the watch with my Pirnjaubees. . They were tall, flerce-looking chaps, Ma homet Singh and Abdullah Khan by j name, both old lighting men who had borne arms against us at Chilianwal lah. They could talk English pretty well, but I could get little out of them. They preferred to stand together and jabber all night in their queer Sikh lingo. For myself, I used to stand outside the gateway, lookiag down on the broad, winding river and on the twinkling lights of the great city. The beating of arums, the rattle of tom toms, and the yells and howls of the rebels, drunk with opium and with bang, were enough to remind us all night of our dangerous neighbors across th stron m Everv two hours the offr i Cera of the nicht nsd to r-.nm miinrl ; to ail the posts, to make sure that all j was well. ! "The third night of my watch was dark and dirty, with a small, driving rain. It was dreary work standing- in the pateway hour after hour in such weather. I tried again and again to make my Sikhs talk, but without much success. At two in the moraine- the rounds passed, and broke for a moment tri 'wa.-HrtesKf tr nterhfc. VvH j my companions WouLl in i conversation, 1 topic ou uct led into t ut my pipe, and laid down iny . maia to strike a match. In an instant the two Sikhs were upon me. One of them snatched my firelock up and leveled it at my head, while the other held a jrreat knife to my throat and swore between hia teeth that he would plung-e it into ma If I moved a 6tep. "My first thought was that these fel lows were in league with the rebels, and that this was the beginning of an assault. If our door were in the hands the women and children be treated aa I they were in Cawnpore. Maybe you gentlemen think that I am Just makinff out a case for myself, but I give you my word that when I thought of that, though I felt the point of the knife at my throat, I opened my mouth with the intention of giving a scream, if it was my last one,. which might alarm the main guard. The man who held me seemed to know my thoughts; for, even as I braced myself to it, he whis pered: 'Don't make a noise. The fort la safe enough. There are no rebel dogs on this 6ide of the river.' There was the ring of truth in what he said. and 1 w that if I raised my voice I was a dead man. I could read it in the fellow's brown eyes. I waited, there fore, in silence, to see what it was that they wanted from me. " 'Listen to me, sahib,' said the taller and fiercer of the pair, the one whom they called Abdullah Khan. 'You must either be with us now or you must be silenced forever. The thing is too great a one for us to hesitate. Cither you are heart and soul with ua I USED TO STAND OUTSIDE THE GATEWAY.- on your oath on the cross of the Chris tians, or your body this night shall be thrown into the ditch and we shall pass over to our brothers in the rebel army.

"'How can I decide?' said I. 'You have not told me what you want of me. But I tell vou now that if it is anything against the safety of the fort i wil1 have no truck with it, so ou can arlve nome yur Knlte welcome. ' 'It is nothing against the fort,' said he. 'We only ask you to do that which your countrymen come to this land for. We ask you to be rich. If you will bo one of us this night, we will swear to you upon the ' naked knife, and by the threefold oath which no Sikh was ever known to break, that you shall have your fair share of the loot.

Hearken, then, to what I have to say. " 'There is a rajah in the northern provinces who has much wealth, though his lands are 6mall. Much has come to him from his father, and more still he has 6et by himself, for he is of a low nature and hoards his gold rather than spend it. When the troubles broke out 1 he would be friends both with the lion and the tiger with the Sepoy and with the company's raj. Soon, however, it seemed to him that the white men's 1 day was come, for through all the land he could hear of nothing bat their death and their overthrow. Yet, being a careful man, he made such plans that, come what might, half at least of his treasures would be left to him. That which was in gold and silver he kept by him in the vaults of his palace, but the most precious stones and the choicest pearls that he had he put in an iron box and sent it by a trusty servant who, under the guiso of a mer chant, should take it to the fort at Agra, there to lie until the land is at peace. Thus if the rebels won he would have his money, but If the company conquer his jewels would be saved to him. Having thus divided his hoard he threw himself into the cause of the Sepoys, since they were strong upon his borders. By doing this, mark you, sahib, his property becomes the due of those who have been true to their salt. .
