“Well, there was one thing which very soon struck me, and that was that soldiers used , and the civilians to win. Mind, I don’t say that there was anything unfair, but so

it was. These prison-chaps had done little else than play cards ever since

got up poorer men, and the poorer they got the more keen they were to play. Maior Sholto was the hardest hit. He used to pay in notes and gold at first, but soon it came to notes of hand and for bie sums. He sometimes would win for a few deals, just to giye him heart, and then the luck would set in against him worse than ever, All day he would wander about as black as thunder, and he took to drinking a deal more than was good for him.

“One night he lost even more heavily than usual. I was sitting in my hut when he and Captain Morstan came stumbling along on the way to their quart They were friends, those two, and never far apart. The was raving about his losses.

‘**But how can we gain your free- dom? You know very well that you ask an impossibility.’

‘**Nothing of the sort,’ I answered. ‘l have thought it out to the last detail. The only bar to our escape is that we can get no boat fit for the voyage and no provisions to last us for so long atime. There are plenty of little yachts and yawls at Calcutta or Ma- dras which would serve our turn well. Do you bring one over. We shall en- gage to get aboard her by night, and if you will drop us on any part of the In- dian coast you will have done your part of the bargain.’ :

‘If there were only one,’ he said,

‘None or all,’ I answered. ‘We have sworn it. The four of us must alwavs act toget he i."

* ‘It’s a dirty business,’ other auswered, ‘T+. as you the money would save our commissions handsomely.’

“Well, SmalNgaid the major, ‘we must. I suppose, try and meet you. We must first, of course, test the truth of your story. Tell me where the box is hid, and I shall get leave of absence and go back to India in the monthly relief boat to inquire into the affair.’

***Not so fast,’ said as he got hot. ‘I must have the consent of my three comrades, I tell you that it is four or none with us,’

‘Nonsense!’ he broke in. ‘What have three black fellows to do with ou agreement ?’

“** *Black or blue,’ said I, ‘they are in with me. and we all go together.’

“Well, the matter ended by a second meeting, at which Mahomet Singh, Abdullah Khan, and Dost Akbar were all We talked the matte: over again. and at last we came to an arrangement, We were to provide both the ofticers with charts of the part of the Agra fort, and mark the place in the wall where the treasure was hid Major Sholto was to go to India to test eur story. If he found the box he was to leave it there, to send out a small yacht provisioned for a voyage, which was to lie off Rutland Island, and to which we were to make our way, and finally to return to his duties. Captain Morstan was then to apply for leave of absenee, to meet us at Agra, and there we were to have a final division of the treasure, he taking the major’s share as well as his own. All this we sealed by the most solemn oaths that the mind could think or the lips utter. I sat up all night with paper and ink, and by the morning I on the two charts all ready, signed with the sign of four— that is, of Abdullah, Akbar, Mahomet and myself.

**Well, gentlemen, I weary you with my long story, andI know that my friend, Mr. Jones, is impatient to get me safely stowed in chokey. I'll make it as short as I can. The villain Sholto wentZoff to India, but he never came back again. Captain Morstan showed me his name among a list of passengers in one of the mail boats very shortly aftefward. His uncle had died, leaving him a fortune and he had left the army, yet he could stoop to treat five men as he had treat- ed us. Morstan went over to Agra shoitly afterward, and found, as we expected, that the treasure was indeed gone. The scoundrel had stolen it all, without carrying out one of the con- ditions on which we had sold him the secret. From that day I lived only for vengeance. I thought of it by day, and I nursed it by night. It became an overpowering, absorbing passion with me. I cared nothing for the law —nothing for the gallows. ‘To escape, to track down Sholto, to have my hand upon his throat—that was my one thought.” Even the Agra treasure had come to be a smaller thing in my mind than the slaying of Sholto.

**Well, 1 have set my mind on many things in this life, and never one which I did not carry out. But it was weary years before my time came. I have told youthat I had picked upsomething of medicine. One day when Dr. Somerton was down with a fevera little Andaman Islander was picked up by aconvict gang in the woods He was sick to death, and had gone to a lonely place to die. I took him in hand, though he was as venomous asa young snake, and after a couple of months J got him all right and able to walk. He took a kind of fancy to me then, and would hardly gq hack to his woods, but was always hanging about my hut. I learned a little of his lingo from him, and this made him all the fonder of me.

Armenian Traditions Showing King Ab- gar’s Interest in the Saviour,

‘“‘The Armenians,’’ said a clergyman of that race the other day, ‘‘are the first Christian nation; we accepted Christ when all others rejected him. Abgar, King of the Armenians at Etesia, the city of Abra- ham, heard of Christ, who was at that time in Jerusalem, healing the sick. Abgar wrote a letter to Christ saying: “You must be God's son or God yourself, for what you ars doing no manin this world can do. Pray come to my country, itis nota large country, but it is large enough for you and for me.’’

‘This letter is still in existence. It is tn Cairo, in the famous ‘strong room’ of th: museum, and has been read by many English scholars. I told tpe story of the this letter toan En@ish gentleman not long since arrived from Egypt, but I had only fairly begun it when he said: ‘Oh, yes, I know about that letter. I saw it myself in the strong room at Cairo, and it was translated to me there.’ This letter is written in Armenian words, but with Syrian letters, for at that period of our history our language was not complete, and we were using the Greek and Syrian letters.

Christ replied to Abgar’s letter that his mission forbade him to depart from Jeru- salem, but that he would send his apostles into Armenia to teach and heal = Shortly after this Abgar, who was completely con- verted to the Christian faith, sent a man toJerusalem to make a portrait of Christ, as he wished to behold his features. This the a:fist found it impossible to do as the features of the Chirst defied portrayal,and his color changed readily from red to white with his varying emotions

“When Christ observed the futile at- tempts of the artist to make his likeness he asked for a handkerchief, and when it was given to him he pressed his face into it and made thereupon a perfect likeness. This handkerchief the artist and his com- pany carried back into Armonia, unfolded all the way, lest a crease should injure the face. When they returned to Abgar he was overcome with emotion and, coming down from his throne, kissed the hand kerchiéf in token of reverence.

“Shortly after this the Romans, hearing of this wonderful handkerchief in Abgar’s posssession, went to war with him for it. The Armenians made a braye fight, but wero as a handful compared to the Romans and were soon in such straits that it was clear the handkerchief would be wrested from them. At this crisis Ab- gar determined that the sacred treasure should never fall into the hands of the Romans, and weighted the handkerchief with stones and threw it into 4 well in Etesia, and to this day the name of that well is Surp Tuschrag, or St. Handker- chief. Such is one of the stories of our earlier history, for we do not admit that it is mere tradition,

‘“‘Another thing we claim ts that God spoke Armenian with Adam and Eve in in the Garden of Eden, which was located in Armenia, and our héstory also shows us that the Armenians were the only peo- ple who did not assist in the building of the Tower of Bahel. Noah was alive at that time and spoke the language of Adam, which was Armenian. After the ark rested on Mount Ararat, in Armenia, Noah named the first house he built Nahi- coan, meaning ‘I just got down.’ Yes; we are the oldest people and the oldest Christian nation in the world. We do not need your missiogaries.’’

Candy Making.

A delicious and harmless candy for the children is foe cream candy. This is fla- vored 9s it is pulled, and may be cut into sticks op small pieces if preferred. Boil three cups of sugar, « quarter of a tes- spoonful of cream of tartar and one half cup of water together but do not stir the syrup at all while boiling. Boil until when a little is dropped into cold water it is brittle. Turn on to a large well-butter- ed platter or a marble slab that has been oiled, and as it cools fuld the edges toward

4 the center. As soon as it can be. handled pull it until it is white.

Molasses is used instead of sugar in making buttercups. Boil together two cups of Porto Rico molasses, one cup of white, sugar, three-quarters of a cup of water, one tablespoonful of butt* anda scant half teaspoonful of cream of tartar; do not stir. When itis done it will be easily formed into balls. Just before it is taken from the fire add a piece of par- aftin about a quarter of an inch sjuare; this is added because it gives a better tex ture for pulling, and it also adds to the look of the candy. “urn the candy on to a well buttered platter, and when it can te handled pulf until itis light colored Now lay it ona slightly fleured table or board, lay some white fondant in the center and fold the candy over it carefally, rol! out into sticks three-quarters of an inch in diameter, and cut ins pieces with shears.

Nougat is easily made, and is always a favorite. Melt a pound of sugar in a saucepan without water, stirring it con- stantiy until it aas become a syrup. Add a cup of nut meats, salted and hea.ed through, and stir briskly while adding. Pour into buttered pans; any kind of nuts may be used, and the can4y is nice with either peanuts, English walnuts or cas- tatias chopped. In measuring the sugar remember that a pint will equal a pound,

Scientifie Martyrs. If soldiers are to be turned into ®cientifile martyrs their military ardor is likely to be damped accordingly. Last year a d-leful story came from Germany of the plight of @ regiment that had been put for some weeks ona diet of peanut fiour. They were so reduced and weakened mentally and physi@lly that they would have de- serted if thé¢y had had the energy to do ao. The diet was submitted to for several days stoically, but even a German soldie® will turn, and the experiment was concluded just in time to avert an outbreak of in- subordination. The troops at I@rt Logan must be able to sympathize with the un- fcrtunate Teatons. In testing the new emergency ration prescribed by the War Department, one company went out ®r three days of forced marching in the foot- hills, loaded with coffee tablets and com- pressed soup, which were supposed to take tne place of hard tack and coffee. Duriy the test, the medical officer who is dianetl with watching and weighing the men, rode into the nearest town for assistance. Thirty-six out of the fifty men were down with griping pains, resutting from the non-assimilation of the scientific ration. The order could not be rev@ked, and the men in the field were infor*ned that they would have to remain on the march for two days longer.
