Cut ii mm t 1916 Br KINO OF THE KHYBER RIFLESCHAPTER I The men who govern India more power to them and her! are few. Those who stand In their way and pretend to help them with a flood of words are a host And from the host goes up an endless cry that India is the home of thugs, and of three hundred million hungry ones. The men who know and Athelstan Kin? might claim to know; a -little answer that she Is the original home of chivalry and the modern mistress of as many decent, gallant, native gentlemen as ever graced a page of history. , The charge has seen the light in print that India well-spring of plague and sudden death and money-lenders has sold her soul to twenty succeeding conquerors in turn. - Athelstan King and a hundred like him whom India has picked from BritIan stock and taught, can answer truly that she has won It back again from each by very purity of purpose. So when the world war broke the world .was destined to be surprised on India's account. The Red Sea, full of racing transports crowded with dark-skinned gentlemen, whose one prayer was that the war might not be over" before they should have struck a blow - for Britain, was the 1 Indian army's answer to the press. : The rest of India paid its taxes and contributed and muzzled Itself and set to work to make supplies, .. For they understand In India, almost as nowhere else, the meaning of such old-fashioned words as gratitude and honor; and of such platitudes as, "Give and It shall be given unto you." ' More than one nation was deeply shocked by India's answer to. "practises" that had extended over years. But there were men In India who learned to love India long ago with that love that , casts out , fear, who knew exactly what was going to happen and could therefore afford to wait for orders Instead of running round in rings. Athelstan King, for Instance, nothing yet but a captain unattached, sat In meagerly furnished quarters with his heels on a table. He is not a doctor, yet he read a book on surgery; and when- he. went over to the club be carried the book under his arm and continued to read it there. He is considered a rotten conversationalist, and . he did nothing at the club to Improve his reputation. "Man alive get a move on!" gasped a wondering senior, accepting a cigar. Nobody knows where he gets those long, strong, black cheroots, and nobody ever refuses one. "Thanks got a book to read," said Kin. "You ass! Wake up and grab the 1est thing in sight, as a stepping stone to something better! Wake up End worry!" - :v" - King grinned. You have to when you don't agree with a senior officer, for the army is like a school in many more ways than one. "Help yourself, sir! I'll take the job that's left when the scramble's over. Something good's sure to be overlooked." "White feather? Laziness? Dark Horse?" the major wondered. Then he hurried away to write telegrams, because a belief thrives in the early days 'of any war that influence can make or break a man's chances. In the, other room where the telegraph blanks were littered in confusion all cbout the floor, he ran into a crony whose chief sore point was Athelstan Kin?, loathing him as some men loathe pickles or sardines, for no real reason, except that they are what they are. "Saw you talking to King," he said. "Yes. Can't make him out. Rum fellow!" "Rum? Huh! Trouble is he's seventh of his family in succession to serve in India. She has seeped into him and pickled his heritage. He's a Cremation i Cincinnati Cremation Co. Office, 30 Wiggins Blk., Cincinnati, O.

Tin believer In Kismet crossed on to Opportunity. Not sure be doesn't pray to Allah on the sly! Hopeless case." "Are you sure?" "Quite." .;. So they all sent telegrams and forgot King who sat and smoked and read about surgery; and before he bad nearly finished one box of cheroots a general at Peshawar wiped a bald red skull and sent him an urgent telegram. "Come at once!" it said simply. King was at Lahore, but miles dont matter when the dogs of war are loosed. The right man goes, to the right place at the exact right time then, and the fool goes to the wall. In that one respect war is better than some kinds of peace. ' In the train on the way to Peshawar he did not talk any more volubly, and a fellow traveler, studying him from the opposite corner of the stifling compartment, catalogued him as "quite an ordinary man." But he was of the Public .Works Department, which is sorrowfully underpaid and wears emotions on its sleeve tor policy's sake, believing of course that all the rest of the world should do the same. ': r "Don't you think we're bound in honor to go to Belgium's aid?" he asked. "Can you see any way out of it?" ; "Haven't looked for one." said King. "But don't you think" "No," said King. "I hardly ever think. I'm -in the army, don't you know, and don't have to. What's the use of doing somebody else's work?" "Rotter!" thought the P. W. D. man. almost aloud; but King was not troubled by any further forced conversation. Consequently he reached Peshawur comfortable, in spite of the heat. And his genial manner of saluting the full-general who met him with a dogcart at Peshawur station was something scandalous. , "Is he a lunatic or a relative or royalty?" the P. W. D. man wondered.

Of a soft, silvery shade half-way between the lustre on a ripe plum and the leaf of a wistaria blossom is this charmeuse dress, which depends entirely for grace on its long lines and magnificent embroidery, in dull blues, flaming shades of rose and burnished copper.' The lines are so simple that one wonders why they were not thought of before and why it took the Callot Soeurs to invent them. There is something almost regal in the length of line this dress gives, and it is fittingly crowned by a hat of tulle, velvet lattice work and paradise.

JUNGLE BEASTS TAKE CIRCUS TUNE r FOR THEIR CUES ? ;When I was a littl sharor I used to read stories about music charming

animals. The yarns always got my imagination to soarin" like a kite. I never, got over em entirely, for I've noticed lots of things about music and beasts that other animal men seem to overlook." :,v - . The boss animal man of the SellsFloto Circus, which will exhibit at Richmond, Tuesday, May 15, was talk ing. . " "To tell the truth, however, the pictures of the . gentle missionaries playing on a cracked harmonica while the man-eating Bengal tiger halted his pounce upon them Is a bit far-fetched. Music makes some zoo animals mean. In the circus, music Is a sort of call to action for . the . beasts they know it means parade and performance. It and the crowds of people get the inn gle -folk restless.'-; Music is sort of cue for them. I remember one group of, lions that worked in the steel arena a season to a certain tune.
