Dinner was over at last, and Mr. Walter Currie, English commissioner nt tho up country station of Ilutla-Bagh.in Northern India, had gone out upon tho veranda with his wife and his two guests tho colonel and major of tho Ih light infantry to enjoy tho cool of tho evening. On three sides tho housd was surrounded by its compound, a largo inclosed space, serving tho purjioso of a courtyard) buttho fouith was only separated by a small patch of garden from tho public roailj along which a largo number of native women wero pass. ing with their littlo pitchcra on their heads. Tho sight of them naturally turned tho conversation upon a favoritesubjcctwlth nil Anglo-Indians, viz., tho character of the natives, and tho test tnethodof dealing with them. "There's only 0110 way," said the colonel, emphatically. "Toll 'em what they're to do, malto 'em do it, and thrash 'cm well if they ilou't. That's my way." "Well, 1 venturo to differ from you there, colonel," said Mr. Currie, quietly. "1'vo hail to do somo thrashing onco or twice, I own, but most of my native servants seem lo get along very well without it, nnd they servo mc excellently, I assure you." "I wish you'd been in my place, then," retoi led tho colonel,' "you'd have changed your opinion, I warrant. Why, the year before last, when I hail charge ot two bat talions of tho rascals down nt Sustccpoor,be, cattio there wasn't another queen's officer within reach just like, my confounded hick! Thcro was no getting anything dono unless I did it myself. By Jovol sirl I had to bo everything at onca my own quarter-master, my own sergeant-major, my own caterer, ami " "And your own trumpeter, Colonel An nesleyt" asked Mri. Currio with & broad tmile. TI10 colonel's broail faco reddened omin ously, and an explosion seemed imminent, when a sudden clamor of angry voices from the road below drew tliern ell 13 tho front of tho veranda. Tho rauso of tho disturbance was visible tit a glance. Two half-drunken English soldierSjSwnggering along the road, had come, into violent contact with a nalito boy who was running past; ami onoof thcm,cnri!geil at tho collision, had felled the poor lad to tho ground, nnd was unclasping his own belt with tho evident intention of beating him unmercifully. "Servo tho young whelp right," shouted tho colonel rubbing his hands; "that's just what they nl! want." The other olhccr, Major Armstrong pop ularly called Major Strongarin waia huge, brawny, silent man, whose forto lay in act ing rather than talking. During the whole, discussion ho had sat liko n great bronzo slatue, never uttering word; but at the sight of this man ill using a child, ho woko tip rather slartlingly. To leap to Iho ground twelve feet below, to dart across tho garden, to vault over the high stockade beyond, was the work of n moment for the nthletio mrjuri and in an, other moment ho hail raie'ed the fallen boy tenderly from tho ground, whilo saying to tho foremost soldier, iu the low, compressed tone, of a man who means what ho saysi "llo off with you I" "And who the deuce are yoa, (hovin1 yer noseinwhero you ain't wanted?" roared tho Infuriated ruffian, to whoso eyes tho major's pliiu evening dress bore no tokn of his being an officer j "jist you " The sentence was never finished. At the sound of that insolent defiance, Armstrong's snrtly-lfittl palienoo gave way altogether, und Iho powerful right hand which had hewed its way through a wholo squadron of Sikh cavalry, fell llko a sledge hammer Umn his opponent's face, dashing him to the ground as if he bzd been blown from the mouth of a gun. "Well done, Major Armstrong 1" shouted Mr. Currier from above. "You deservo you name, and no mistake." At that formidable name the soldier took to his heels at once ; and Armstrong, with, out even looking at his prostrate antagonist, proceeded to examine the hurts of thenative boy. The latter w'nj sorely bruised in many place., and the blood was trickling freely over his swarthy face) but the little hero still did his best to stand erect, and to keep down every sign of the pain which he was enduring. "You're a bravo lad, and you'll make soldier soma day," said the major to him In Illndoostauee. "Oaine with me, and I'll see that no one molests you again." The lad Mited the huge brown hand which bad defended bim so bravely, and UUted it with the deepest reverence) and tbe two walked away together.

Day was just breaking, when two men held whispering counsel in ono of the upper rooms. No fear of tho water running short," said Mojot Armstrong; "but even upon half-rations tho food will bs out in four lays more." "And then wo'll just go right at them, nnd cut our way through or dio for it I" growled tho old colonel, with a grim smile on his iron face, for, with nil his harshness and injustice, Colonel Anncsley was "grit" to tho backbono. "Wo mustn't say any thing to them about it, though," added ho with a side glance at Mr. Currio, who, stand ing in tho further corner, was anxiously watching tho thin, worn faco of his wife. At that moment a loud cheer Irom below 6tartled them both, nnd tho next moment Ismail (the "major's boy," as every ono now called him) burst Into the room, with a glow of unwonted excitement on hij datk face. Sahib," cried he, "there is hopo for us yet I A detachment of Iugleez (English) aro coming up tho other bank of tho river; if wo can send word to them as they pass, wo nro 6aved 1" "How do you know?' asked the, major eagerly. 'I heard tho Sepoys say so, while I was lying hid among tho bushes yondor," an swered tho lad. "Among tho bushes yonder?" roared tho colonel, facing around, "llavo you really been iu the midst of thoso cut-throat vil lains, listening to what they said? 'What ever did you do tlict for ?" I did it for Sahib Armstrong's sake," ro- nlicd tho boy, proudly, "because ho was good to me." Tho colonel turned hastily away to hlfla tho flush ot not unmanly shame that over spread his hard faco ; and Armstrong smiled slightly as hb heard him mutter! By Jove I theso chaps aren't so black as they're painted after all." But if tho troops are beyond tho river, how can wo communicate with them?" asked Mrs. Currie, who. awakened by tho shouting, had risen and joined tho group. "They may not pass near enough to hear tho firing, and wo bava no means ol send ing them word." Fear nothing for that, mcm-sahib" f madam) eaia tho Hindoo boy, quietly; "I will carry them word myself I" But how can you possibly do it?" cried Mr. Currie, thunderstruck by tho confident tono in which this mcro child spokoof a task Irom which the hardiest veteran might well have sllrtlnk. 'Listen, Sahib," anawered Ismail. "I will slip out of the house, and inalto a dash into tho enemy's lines, as if I wero desert. ng fronfyou to them ; and you can tell your people lo firs' ft shot or two after m'o with blank cartridge, as I go. Then the Sepoys' will receive mo kindly, and I'll tell them that you're all dying of thirst,and that they need only wait one day more to bo sure of you, eo that they wont care to mako another attack. Then, when they havo uo suspicion, nnd I'm quite one of themselves, I'll steal away, and slip across tho river." "But aro you quite sure tho Sepoys will believo you?" askod Major Armstrong, loublfully. "They'll believe this, anyhow," replied tho boy, deliberately making a deep gash in his bare shoulder, and staining his white frock with tho blood, as ho glided from tho room, followed by Armstrong, The plan was soon explained to the men below, and a moment later Ismail's dark figure was seen Jailing like an arrow across the open space in front of tbe building, fol lowed by a quick discharge of blank cart ridges from tho marksmen of tho loopholes, Tho sound of firing drew the attention of the Sepoys, several of whom ran forward to meet him. In another instant he was in the midst of them. "I can scarcely see for thoso bushes," said Colonel Annesley ; "but ho seems to be showing them the wound on his shoulder. and telling them it was our doing, At that moment an exulting yell from the enemy camo pealing throug tho still air. "That's tho story of our being short of water, for a guinea I" said the major j "it was a very good thought of his. If it only delays their attack jwo days longer, there may be time for help lo arrive yet, Slowly and wearily the long hours of that fearful day Wore on. Tho heat was so tcr rifle that even tho native soldiers of the gar- rison could barely hold their own against it, and the handful of Fnglishmen were al most helpless. Had tho Scoys attacked then, all would havo been over at ono blow but hour passed after hour, and there was no sign of an assault, At lengthis afternoon gave place to even ing, a movement began to show itself in tho enemy's lines. Their curls of smoke, rising above tho trees, showed that the evening meal was in preparation ; and several fig urea, with pitchers in their hands, were seen going toward the river, among whom tho colonel s keen eye coon detected Ismail, ''By George I" cried Iho old soldier, slapp, ing his kneo excitingly, "that lad's worth his weight in gold ? There's his way down to the river right open to him without tbo least chance of suspicion! Why, he's born general nothing less I" Every eye within the walls was now turned anxiously upon the distant group. fearing to see at any moment some move ment which would show that the trick was detected. How did Ismail mean to acoom plish bis purpose? Would he plungo bold, jy into the river, without any disguise, or had he some further stratagem in prepars., tlon ? No one eould say, Suddeuly, as Ismail stooped to plunge hi light wooden dippsriuto tbo waLr, it slipp ed from his bands, and went floating away down the stream. A cry of dismay, a loud laugh from tbe Sepoys, and then the boy wii ten running f?at:caJ! v ah th. baalr and trying In vain to clutch the vessel as it floated past. "What on earth's he up to ?" grunted tho colonel, completely mystified. "I sco I" cried Major Armstrong triumph antly, "there's a boat yonder among the reeds, and he's making right for It. Well done, my bravo boy if But at that moment a yell of rngo from the Sepoys told that the trick was discov ered. Luckily those on the bank had left their pieces behind, or poor Ismail would soon havo been disposed of J but the alarm in- itantty brought up a crowd of their armed comrades, whose bullets fell like hail around the boat and its gallant littlo pilot. "Let us firo a volley and make a show of sallying out," said tho colonel 1 "it'll take take their attention from him." But in this he was mistaken. The first rattle of musketry from the bo- sieged house did Indeed recall most of Is mail's assailants, but at least & dozen wero left who kept up an unceasing fire, striking tho boat again and again. All at onco the colonel dashed his glass to the floor with a frightful oath. Between two gusts of smoko ho had accn tho boat turn suddenly over, and go whirl ing away down tho dark river, keol Up ward. "There's an end of the poor lad," mutter ed tho veteran, brokenly. "God bless him for a brave littlo fellow. And now, old friend, wo must just dio hard, for there's no hopo left." Tho first few hours of tho night passed quictly,and the exhausted defenders, utterly worn out, slept as if drugged with opium. Bat a little after midnight tho quick cars of tho two veteran officers the only watchers n tho wholo garrison, except the sentries themselves caught a faint stirring in tho surrounding thickets, which seemed to afguo somo movement on tho part of tho 6ncmy. Listening intently for a few moments they felt certain that they wero right, and lost no tinio in arousing their men Tho scanty stores of food wero opened onco more, and, crouching together in tho darkness, the doomed mcd took what they fully believed to bo tbeir last meal on earth. "They're coming P'said Major Armstrong, straining his eyc3 into tho gloom through a loophole. "I hear them creeping forward, though I can't seo them." "What the deuco was that?" exclaimed tho colonel, suddenly. "It looked liko u Cory arrow flying past." "It's worso than that," said tho major in a low yoice. "Tho rascals nro shooting light ed chips of bamboo on tho roof to set it on fire. Send the women up witn buckets to flood tho thatch there's not a moment to lose." "I'll go and see to it mysclfl" cried Mrs. Currie hastenirig.out of tho room. But tho power of this new weapon had already become fatally manifest. Tho house was an old ono; and dry as tinder from tho prolonged heat, and as fast as tho flames were quenched in one placo they broke out in another: When day dawned, the firo had already got a firm hold of ono corner of tho build Ing, and a crushing discharge was poured upon all who attempted to extinguish it, while the triumphant yells of tho human tigers below told that they felt sure of their prey. "It's all over with us old fellow," said tho colonel grasping his old comrado'ehad; "but at least wo shall have done our duty." "Give me onoof your pistols," whispered Mrs. Currio to her husband, in a voico that was not her own. "I must not fall into their hands alive." At that moment Major Armstrong was seen to start and bend forward, as if listen ing intcritly for ho thought although ho could scarcely believe his ears that ho bad suddenly caught a faint sound of distant firiug. In another instant be heard it Again, and this time there could be no more doubt, for several of tho others had caught it likewise, and a gleam of hope onco more lighted up their haggard faces and bloodshot eyes. Louder and nearer came the welcome sound, while the sudden terror and confu sion visible among the enemy showed that tl.cy, too, wero at no loss to guess its mean ing. Then high above all the din rose (lie well known "Hurrah 1" and through the smoke clouds broke a charging line of glittering bayonets and ruddy English faces, sweeping away the cowardly murderers as the sun chases tho .morning mist. "That boy's worth his weight In gold," said Colonel Anncsley, as, & few hours later he listened to Ismail's account of how bo had dived under tho boat and kept it be tween himself and the Eepoys, that tbey might think hira drowned. "He's the pluck iest littlo fellow I've over seen, and, altho' bo belongs to the major, I'm going to take my share of helping him on, by Jovo 1" THE IJO.NIEI'.YS Ll.-IIENT.
