Now, after What I’ve told you about Measles listing for spite, you will easily understand that the fact of his calling any one a lunatic did not prove a want of common reason in the person spoken about; but What he meant was, that the people' coming up were half-mad for travelling when the sun was so high, and had got so much power. I looked up and saw, about a mile elf, coming over the long straight level plain, What seemed to be an elephant, and a man or two on horseback; and before I had been looking above a minute, I saw Captain Dyer cross over to the colouol’s fient, and then point in the direction of the coming elephant. The next minute, he crossed over to where we were. ‘Seen Lieutenant Leigh ?’ he says in his quick way. Send him after me7 if he comes in sight. Tell him Miss Ross and party are yonder, and I’ve liddcn on to meet them.’ The next minute he had gone, faken a horse from a syeee, and in spite of the heat, cantered off to meet the party wiih the elephant, the air being that clear that I could see him gr) light up, turn his horse round, and ride gently back by the elephant’s side. I did not see anything of the lieuten- ant, and, to tell the truth, I forgot all about him, for I was thinking about the party coming, for I had somehow heard a little about Mrs. Maine’s sister coming out from the old country to stay with her. If I recollect right, the black nurse told Mrs. Dzintem, and she mentioned it. This party, then, I supposed contained the lady herself; and it was as I thong-hf. \Vc had had to leave i’atna unexpectedly to relieve the regiment ordered homo; and the lady, according to orders, had followed us, for this was only our second day's march. I suppose ic Was my pipe made me settle down to Watch the coming party, aud wonder What sort of a body Miss Ross would be, and whether anything like her sister. Then I wondered who would marry her, for, as you know, ladies are not very long out in India Without picking up a husband. ‘1’cl'haps,’ I said to myself, ‘it will be the lieuten- for Captain Dyei' 'wasfixatfih‘li‘n‘gg :‘fibng beside the great beast, and his was the hand that helped the lady downâ€"a tall, handsome, self- posncssed girl, who seemed quite to take the lead, and kiss and soothe the sis‘rei', when she in!) out of the tent 10 throw her arms round the new-comer"s neck. ‘At lustythou, Els3e,’ Mrs. Colonel said out aloud. ‘You’ve had a long dreary ride.’ ‘Not during the last ten minutes] Mis. Ross said; laughing in a bright, moi-“y, free-hearmd way. ‘Lieutenant Leigh has been welcoming me most cordially.’ ‘Who?’ exclaimed Mrs. Colonel, staring from one to the other. ‘Lieutenant Leigh,’ said Miss Ross. ‘I’m afraid I am to blame for not an- nouncing myself, said Caplain Dyer, lifting his muslin-covered cap. ‘Yeur sister, Miss Ross, asked me to ride to meet you, in Lieutenant Leigh’s absence.’ ‘You, then’ ‘I am only Lawrence Dyer, his flieud/ said the captain snlilinn‘. It’s a singular thing that just then, as I saw the young lady blush deeply, and Mrs. Colonel look annoyed, I muttered to myself, ‘Something will come of this,7 because, if there’s anything I hate, it"s For a man to set himself up for a prophet. But it looked to me as if the captain had been taking Lieutenant Leigh’s place, and that Miss Ross, as was really the case, though she had never seen him, had heard him so much talked of by her sister, that she had welcomed him as she thought, quite as an old friend, when all the time she had been talking to ; Captain Dyer. ‘No sir; not since breakinst.’ And I was not the only one who thought about it; else why did Mrs. Colonel look annoyed, and the colonel, Who came paddling; out, exclaim loudly: ‘Why, Leigh, look alive, mun! hero’s Dyer been stealing a march upon you. Why, whom have you been ?’ I did not hear What the lieulenant said, for my attention just then was taken up by something else, but I saw him go up to Miss Ross: holding out his hand, while the mee‘ring was very formal; but; as I told you, my attention was‘ taken up by somethianr else, and that, something; was a liitle dark, bright, eager, earnest face, with a pair of sharp eyes, and a little mocking-looking mouth; and as Captain Dyer had helped Miss Ross down with the steps from the howâ€" dah, so did I help down Lizzy Gleen, her maid; to get, by way of thanks, :1 half saucy look, a nod of the head, and i the sight of a preity little tripping pair of ankles going over the hot sandy dust towards the tent. But the next minute she was back, to ask about some luggageâ€"~21 bullockâ€"frule 01' twoâ€"and she was coming up to me, as I eagerly stepped {brward to meet her, when she seemed, as it were, to take it into her head to shy at me, going in- stead to Harry Lant, who had just come up, and who, on hearing what she want» giitwmim. CHAPTER III. ed, placed his hands, with a grave swoop, upon his head, and made her a regular emiern salaam, ending by telling her slave would obey her commands. All of which seemed to grit upon me terribly ; I aidn’t know W113, thén, but‘I fouhd out aft-erWaids, though not for many days to come. \Ve had the route given us for Begum- bagh, a town that, in the old days, had been rather famous for its grandeur; but, from what I had heard, it was likely to turn out a very hot, dry, dusty. miser- able spot; and I used to get reckoning" up how long we should be l'rizzling out there in India before we got the orders for home; and put it at the lowest cal- culation, I Could not make less of it than five years. At all events. we who were soldiers had made our own beds, and had to lie upon them, whether it was at home or abroad; and, as Mrs. Bantam used to say to usI ‘Where was the use of grumb- ling ?’ There were troubles in every life, even if it was a civilian’sâ€"as we soldiers always called those who didn’t wear the Queen’s uniformâ€"â€"and it was very doubtful whether we should have been a bit happier, if we had been in any other line. But all the 851-110, govâ€" ernment might have made things a little better for us in the way of suitable clothes, and things proper for the climate. And so on we went; marching mornâ€" ings and nights; camping all through the hot day; and in was not 10an before we found that, in Miss 110%, we men had got something else beside the child- ren to worship. But I may as well say now, and have it ofi' my mind, that it has always struck me, that during those peaceful days, when our {great est worry was a hot march, we didn’t know when we were well oil", and that it wanted the troubles to come before we could see what good qualities there were in other people. Little trifling things used to make us soreâ€"things such as we didn’t notice afterwards, when great sorrows came. I know I was queer, and spiteful, and jealous, and no great wonder tlut, for I always was a- man with a nastyish temper, and soon put out; but even Mrs. Bantem used to shew that she wasn’t quite perfect, for she quite upset me, one day, when Measles got talking at dinner about Lizzy Green7 Miss Boss’s maid, and, what was a wonderful thing; for him, not finding fault. He got saying that she was a niee girl, and would make a soldier as wanted one a good wife; when Mrs. Bantem fires up as spiteful as could be â€"â€"I think, mind you, there ’d been some- thinw wrong" with the cooking that day, says that Lizzy was very well, but 100 {S ‘ weren’t everything, and that the was‘ raw as raw, and would want no end of dressing:r before she would be good for anything; while, as to making a soldier’s wil'e, soldiers had no business to have wives till they could buy themselves ofi“, and turn civilians. Then, again, she seemed to have taken a sudden spite against Mrs. Maine, saying that she was a poor, little, stuckâ€"up, fine lady, and she could never have forgiven her if it had not been for those two beautiful children ', though what Mrs. Bantem had got to forgive the calonel’s wife, I don’t believe she even knew herself. The old black ayah, too, got very much put out about this fine, and all on acâ€" count of the two new-comers; for when Miss Russ hadn’t got the children with her, they were along»: with L'zzy, who, like her mistress, was new to the climate, and hadn’t got into that dull listless way that comes to people who have been sometime up the country. They were all life, and fun, and energy, and the children were never happy when they were away; and of a morning, more to please Lizzy, 1 used to think, than the children, flurry Lant used to pick out a shady place, and then drive Chunder ‘Chow, who was the mahont of Natal), the principal elephant, half wild, by call ing out his beast, and playing with him all sorts of antics. Chunder tried all he could to stop it, but it was of use, for Harry had got such an influence over that animal that when one day he was coaxing him out to lead him under some trees, and the mahout tried to stop him, iVuOrfl; makes no more ado, but litts his great soft, trunk, and rolls Mr. Uhundcr Chow over into the grass, where he lay screeching like a parrot, and chattering like a men- key, l‘Ollll'lQ his opal eyeballs, and shew- ing his white teeth with fear, for he expected that qubrfl; was going to put his foot on him, and crush him to death, as is the nature of those great beasts. But. not he: he only lays his trunk {gently on Harry's shoulder, and follows him across the open like a great flesh- monntain, winking his little pig’s eyes, whisking his tiny tail, and flapping his great ears; wlnle the children clapped 'their hands as they stood in the shade with Miss lloss and Lizzy, and Captain Dyer and Lieutenant Leigh close be- hind. ‘Thei‘e'n no 0:11] to be afraid, miss,’ says Hurry, sulufinfr as he saw Miss ROQS shrink buck; and seeing how, when he said a few words in Hindustani, the great animal minded him, they stopped being afraid, and gave Harry fruit and cakes to feed the great beast with. You see. out there in that great dull place, people are very glad to have any little trifle to amuse them, so you mustn’t be sut'prlsed to hear that there used to be quite a crowd to see Harry Lant’s perfbrmances, as he called them. But all the same, I didn’t like hls upsetting old Chunder Chow; and it seemed to me even then, that we’d managed to However, Harry used to go on making old Nubob kneel down, or shake hands, or curl up his trunk, or lift him up, finishing off by going up to his head, lifting one great ear, saying they under- stood one another, whispering a few words, and then shutting the car up again, so as the words shouldn’t be lost before they got into the elephant’s brain, as Harry explained, because they‘d get along way to go. Then Harry would lie down, and let the great beast walk backwards and forwards all over him, lifting his great feet so carefully, and setting them down close to Harry, but never touching him, except one day when, just as the great beast was pass- ing his feet over Harry’s breast, a voice called out something,r in Hindustaniâ€" and I knew who it was, though I didn’t seeâ€"when Nabob puts his foot down on Harry’s chest. and Lizzy gave a great scream, and we all thought the poor chap would be crushed; but not he: the great beast was took by sur- prise. but only for an instant, and, in his slow quiet way, he steps aside, and then touches Harry all over with his trunk; and there was no more perlorrn- anee that day. make another black enemyâ€"the black ayglj being the first. ‘I’ve got my knife into Master Chunder for that,’ says Hurry to me, ‘for I’ll swear that was his voice.’ And I started to find he had known it. ‘I wouldn’t quarrel with him,7 I says quietly) ‘for it strikes me he’s got his knife into you.’ ‘You’vc no idea,’ says Han‘ , ‘what a nip it was. I thought It was all over; but all the same, the poor brute didn’t mean it, I’d swcar.’ 1V. ‘ \Vho could have thought just then that all that nonsense of Harry Lant’sl with the elephant was shapng itself" forl our good; but so it was, as you shall byâ€"‘ and-by hear. The march continued, matters seeming; to go on very smoothly â€"â€"but only seeming, mind you, for let alone that we were all walking upon a volcano, there was a good deal of unâ€" pleasantry brewing. Let alone my feel- ing that, somehow or another, Harry Lant was not so good a mate to me as he used to be, there Was a good deal wrong between Captain Dyer and Lieutâ€" enant Leigh, and it soon seemed plain that there was much more peace and comfort in our camp :1 week earlier than there was at the time of which I am now writing. I used to have my turns as sentry here and there; and it was when standing stock still with my piece, that I used to fee and hear so‘lguejJâ€"f ' ‘ upon a sentry as a something that can neither see nor hear anything but what might come in the shape of an enemy. They know he must not move from his post, which is to say that he’s tied hand and foot, and perhaps from that they they think he is tied as to his senses. At all events, I got to see that when Miss Ross was seated in the colenel’s tent, and Captain Dyer was near her, she seemed to grow gentle and quiet, and her eyes would light up, and her rich red lips part, as she listened to what he Was saying, while, when it came to Lieuten- ant. Leigh‘s turn, and he was beside her talking, she would be merry and chatty, and would laugh and talk as lively as could be. Harry Lant said it was be- cause they were makingr up matters, and that some day she would be M rs. Leigh; but I didn’t look at it in that light, though I said nothing. I used to like to be sentry at the eolonel’s tent, on our halting for the night, when the canvas would be looped ‘ up, to let in the air, and they’d get their" great globeâ€"lamps lit, with the tops to them to keep out the flies, and the draughts made by the punkahs swinging; backwards and forwards. I used to think it quite a pretty sight, with the ladies and the three or four officers. per- haps chatting, perhaps having,r a little music, for Miss Ross could sing likeâ€" like a nightingale, I was going to say ; but no nightingale that I ever heard could seem to lay hold of your heart and almosu bring tears into your eyes, as she ‘ did. Then she used to sing duets with ‘ Captain Dyer, because the colonel wished ‘ it, though it was plain to see Mrs. Maine didn’t like it, any more than did Lieut I enant Leigh, who, more than once, as I’ve seen, walked out, looking- fierce and angry7 to strike off right away from the camp, perhaps not to come back for a couple of hours. It was one night when we‘d been about a. fortnight on the way, for during the past week the colonel had been letting us go on very easily7 I was sentry at the tent. There had been some singing, and Lieutenant Leigh had gone off in the middle of a duet. Then the doctor, the colonel, and a couple of subs were busy over a game of whist, and the black nurse had beckoned Mrs. Maine out, I suppose to see somethingr about the two children; when Captain Dyer and Miss1 toss walked together just outside the tent, she holding by one of the cords, and he standing close beside her. They did not say much, but stood looking: up at the bright silver moon ‘and twinklingr stars; while he said a iword now and then about the beauty lof the scene, the white tents, the ltwinkling lights here and there, and the {soft peace’hl aspect of all around; and ythen his voice seemed to grow lower iand deeper as he spoke from time to "time, though I could hardly. hear a word, as I stood there like a statute watching her beautiful face, with the great clusters of hair knotted back from her broad white forehead, the They must have stood there full half' an hour, when She turned as if to go back, but he laid his hand upon hers as it held the tent cord, and said some- thing very earnestly, when she turned to him again to look him full in the face, and I saw that her hand was not moved. ‘I must ask you,’ he said hu‘slcily; ‘my peace depends upon it. I know that it has always been understood that you were to be introduced to Lieutenant Leigh. I can see now plainly enough what are your sister’s wishes; but hearts are ungovernzible, Miss Ross, and I tell you earnestly, as a simple, truth- speaking man, that you have roused feelings that until now slept quietly in my breast. If I an) presumptuous, forgive meâ€"â€"-love is bold as well as timidâ€"but at least set me at rest; tell me, is there any engagement between you and Lieutenant Leigll?’ moon shining to make her turned to him.

But I had no more eyes then for the inside of the tent, for Captain Dyer‘ just seemed to awaken to the‘faet that I was standing close by hlm as sentry, and he gave quite a start as he looked at me for a, few moments without speaking. Then he took a step forward. ~ ‘Who is this? Oh, thank goodness I’ (he said tho 6 few words in an under- tone, but I happened to hear them). ‘Smith,’ he said, ‘I forgot there was a sentry there. You saw me talking to that lady ?’ ‘Yos, sir,’ I said. ‘You saw everythmg ?’ ‘Yes, sir.’ ‘And you heard all?’ ‘No. sir, not all; only what you said: last.’ Then he was silent again for a few moments, 7 but only rto lay his hand ‘Smith,’ he said, ‘I would rather you had not seen this; and if it had been any other man in my company, I should perhaps have offered hxm money, to in- sure that there was no idle chattering at the mess-tables; but you I ask, as a man I can trust, to' giVeyme youf word of honor as a soldier to let what you have seen and heard be sacred.’ ‘I have no fear, Smith,’ he said, speaking; lightly, and as if he felt joyful, and proud, and happy.â€"‘What a glorious night for a, cigar ;’ and he took one out of his case, when we both started, for, as if he had that moment risen out; of the ground, Lieutenant Leigh stood there close to us; and even to this day I can’t make out how he managed it, but all the same he must have seeu and heard as much as I had. ‘Thank you, captain,’ I said, speaking thick, for somehow he. words seemed to touch me.‘ ‘And pray, is my word of honor as a soldier to be taken, Captain Dyer? 01' is my silence to be bought with money ‘3- Curse you, come this way, will you l’ he hissed ; for Captain Dyer had half turn- ed, as if to avoid him, but he stepped back directly, and I saw them walk off together amongst the trees, till they were quite out of sight; and if ever I felt what it was to be tied down to one spot, I felt it then, as I walked up am? down by that tent watching for those two to return.
