man, who was chiefly conspicuous
by the extreme smartness of his ap-

His chances of obtaining a situation

Kate sent a last lingering look up
and down the narrow thoroughfare
in quest of ‘another cab, but Drury

hunting-ground for crawling han-

Percy laid his hand impatiently on
her arm and whispered in her ear—

“Get in, for God’s sake! The
cabby’s pals will be on to me direct-
ly.”

That decided her, and she seated
herself at Zincraft’s side, wonder-

wobbled ominously, the horse looked

“Yes, this one will do; hop in,

So far Lindsay had confided his
purpose in coming to India to no
one, and he had not intended to do
so. But the wisdom of the kindly |
old soldier’s suggestion was self-ap-|
