"lictpcrt the aged.'"
It wan a tliiclc voice a muddy voice
Hhat would have made yorfshuddiT a
voieo liltn something soft breaking in
two. There was a quaver in it, a creak
nnrl n, whine.
"lfapiet the aged! Oh, companion! uj
.the l!i tvreptct the ag-d!"
"othiu!.' could bo seen on the broad
:reach of the river except a little licet
of square-sailed, wooden-pinned barges,
loaded with buildinp-stoue, that had
just come under the. railway-bridge,
11 urt wore driviii'' down stream, lhey
put their clumsy helms over to avoid
the sand-bar wade by the scour of
the brkU-e-piers, and us they passed,
'three abreast, the horrible voice began
jairain:
; '"OA, Brahtuim of the Iiicer respect tU
'ugul and infirm!''
A boatman turned where he sat on
the gunwale, lifted up his hand, said
something1 that was not a blessing, and
jtlie boats creaked on through the twi
light. The broad Indian river, that
looked more like a chain of little lakes
than a stream, was as smooth as glass;
;ieflectinj the sandy-red sky in niid
ehannel, but splashed with patches of
'yellow and dusky purple near und uu
ller the low banks. Little creeks ran
into the river in the wet season, but
.now their dry mouths huiifr clear above
ivvater-line. On the left shore, and al
inost under the railwuv-bridge, stood
11 mud-aud-brick-aud-tliatch-and-stick
pillage, whose train street, full of cat
tle jroinir back to their byres, ran
V )i7
"BUT THAT WHICH WE HAVE
Straight to the river, ending In sort
of rude brick pier-head, where people
who wanted to wash could wado ill
utep by step. That was the ghaut
whence the villugo of Mugger-Ghaut
took its name.
I Might was falling fast over tho fields
Inf lentils and rice and cotton in the
low-lying ground yearly flooded by tho
river; over tho reeds that fringed the
elbow of the bend, and tho tangled
low jungle of the graziug-grounds be
hind the still reeds. . The parrots and
itows, who had been chattering and
fthoutlng over their evening drink, had
flown Inland to roost, crossing the out
going battalions of tho flying-foxes;
und cloud upon cloud of water-birds
came whistling and "honking" to the
cover of the reed-beds. There were
1,'eeso, barrel-headed and black-backed,
teal, Widgeon, mallard and sheldrake,
ith curlews, and, hero and there, a
flamingo.
A lumboring adjutant-crane brought
lip tho rear, flying as though each slow
stroke would be his last.
' "Reped the agrd! 'Brahmin of the Rittr
y-repcet the aged!" ,
The adjutant half-turned his head,
sheered a little in the direction of the
Tolce, and landed stiffly on the sund
liar below the bridge. I hen you saw
what a ru Wanly brute he really was.
Ills back view was immensely respecta
ble, for hi stood nearly six feet high,
und looked rnthcr like a very proper
bald-headed parson. In front it was
different, for his Ally Sloper-liko heud
.and neck had not a feather to them,
and there was), a horrible raw-skin
pouch on his neck under his chin a
hold-all for tho things his pick-ax
tx'uk could capture. His legs wero
long and tliin and skinny, but he roovod
them delicately, and looked at them
with pride as he preened down his
imhygray tail-feathers, glanced over
the smooth of his shoulder, and stif
fened into "Stand at attention."
A mangy little jackal, who had been
yapping hungrily on a low bluff,
cocked np his cars and tail, and scut-,
tered across tho shallows to join tho
ndjutant.
! lie was the lowest of his caste not
that the best of jackals are good for
much, but this one was peculiarly low,
being half a beggar, half a criminal a
cjeaner-up i of villpge rubbish-heaps,
esjpcrately timid or wildly bold, ever?
lastingly hungry, and full of cunning
'that never did him any food. -I
"Ug-h!" ho said, shaking- himself
dolefully as he landed. "M-iy tho red
mango destroy the dogs of this village!
il have threo bites for each flea upon
'me, and all because I looked only
looked, mark you at an old shoe in a
'cow-byre, fan I eat mud?" lie.
'scratched himself under his left ear.
I "I heard," said tho adjutaut, in a
voice like a blunt saw going through a
thick board "I heard there was a new
born puppy in that same shoe."
j "To hear is one thing; to know is au
lother," i;aid the jackal, who had a very
'fair knowledge of proverbs, learned by
listening to men round tho llres of an
evening.
''(Juito true. So, to make sure, I took
care of that puppy while the dogs were
busy elsewhere.'
"They wore very busy," said the jack
al. "Well, I must not go to the village
hunting for scraps yet awhile. And so
there truly wus a blind puppy in that
shoe?"
"It is here," said the adjutant, squint
ing over his beak at his full pouch. "A
small tiling, but acceptable now that
charity is dead in the world."
"Ahai! The world is iron in these
days," wailed the jackal. Then his rest
less eye caught the least possible rip
ple on the water, and he went on quick
ly: "Lifo is hard for us all, and 1 doubt
not that even our excellent master, the
pride of the ghaut and the envy of tho
river"
"A liar.a flat terer and a jackal were all
hatched out of the same egg." said the
adjutant to nobody in particular; for
he was rather a fine sort of a liar on his
own account when he took the trouble.
"Yes, the. Envy of tho Kiver," the j
jackal repeated, raising his voice. 1
"Kven he, 1 doubt not, tiuds that since I
the bridge has been built good food is
JI10re scarce
Hut, ou tho other hand,
though I would by no means say this
to his noble face, he is so wise and so
virtuous as I. ulas! am not"
"When the jackal owns he is gray
how black must the jackal be," mut
tered the adjutant, who could not see
what was coining.
"That his food never fails, and ia
consequence "
There was a soft grating Bound as
though a boat had just touched in shoal
water. The jackal spun round quick
ly and faced tit is always best to face)
the creature he had been talking about.
It was a twenty-four foot crocodile,
cased in what looked like treble-riveted
boiler plate, studded and keeled and
crested; the yellow points of his upper
teeth just overhanging his beautifully
llutod lower jaw. It wus the blunt
noscd mugger of Mugger-Ghaut, older
than any man in the village, who had
given his immo to the village; the
demon of the ford before the railway
bridge came murderer, man-eater and
local fetish in one. lie lay with his
JUST DEAIID 18 WISDC
chin in the shallows, keeping his place
by an almost invisible rippling of his
tail, and well the jackal knew that one
stroke, of that same tail in the water
could carry the mugger up the bank
with the rush of a steam engine.
"Auspiciously met, Protector of tho
Poor," ho fawned, backing at every
word. "A delectable voice was heard,
and. we came hi tho hopes of sweet con
versation. My tailless presumption,
while waiting here, led me, indeed, to
speak of thee. It ia my hope that noth
ing was overheard."
Xow, the jackal had spoken juct to
be listened to, for he knew flattery was
tho lost way of getting things to cat,
and tho mugger knew that the jackal
hud spoken for this end, and the jackal
knew that the mugger knew, and the
mugger knew that tho jackal knew
that tho mugger knew, and so they
wero all very contented together.
The old brute pushed and panted
and grunted up the bank, mumbling:
"Itcspect the aged and infirm)" and all tho
timo his little eyes burned like coals
under tho heavy horny eyelids on the
top of his triar.gulnr head, as he shoved
his bloated baiTcl body along between
his crutched legs. Then lie settled
dowa, and, accustomed as tho jackal
was to his W;ys, he could not help
starting, for the hundredth time, when 1
he saw how exactly the mugger hnl-
tated a log adrift on the bar. lie had
even taken pains to lio at the exact
angle a naturally stranded log would
make with the water, having regard
to the current of the season nt the timo
and place. All this was purely me
chanical, of eoursrliecause the mugger
had come ashore tor pleusure; but a
crocodilo is never quite full, and if j
the jackal had been deceived by the
likeness he would not have lived to
philosophize over It.
"My child, I heard nothing," said the
mugger, shutting one eye. "Tho
water was in my ears, and also I was
faint with hunger. Since tho railway
bridge was built my people at my vil
lage have ceased to love me; and that
is breuking my heart."
"Ah! shame!" said the jackal. "So
noble a 'heart, tool But moli are all
alike to my mind."
"Kay; there are very groat differ
ences, Indeed," the mugger answered,
gently, "Some are as lean as boat
polcsj OtherSj. gtlntjreaavfau j
young ja dogs. ' Mover would I cause
lessly revile men. They are of all
fashions, but the long years have
shown me that, otio with onothc-r, they
are very good. Men, women and chil
dren -I havo no fault to find with
them. And remember, child, he who
rebukes the world is rebuked by tho
world." .
"Flattery Is worse than an empty tin
cau in tho belly. Hut that which wo
have just heard is wisdom," said the oil
jutant, bringing down one foot.
1 "Consider, though, their ingratitude
to this excellent one," began the jackal,
tenderly.
"May! nay! not ingratitude!" tho
mugger said. "They do not think for
others, that is all. lint I havo no
ticed, lying at my station below the
ford, that the stairs of the new bridge
are cruelly hard to climb, both for old
people and young children. The old,
Indeed, ore not so worthy of considera
tion, but I am grieved I am truly
grieved on uecottnt of tho children.
Still, I think, in a little while, when
tho newness of the bridge has worn
away, we shall see my people's baro
brown legs bravely .splashing through
the ford us before. Then tho old mug
ger w ill bo honored again." ,
"Hut surely I saw marigold wraiths
floating off the edge of tho ghaut only
this noon," said the adjutant. Mtu'i-
gold wreaths are a sign of reverence
nil India over.
"An error an error. It was the wife
of the sweetmeat-seller. She lose3 her
eyesight year by year, and cannot tell
a log from iuc the mugger of tho
Ghaut. I saw the mistake When she
threw the garland, for I was lying at
the very foot of the ghaut, und had she
taken another step I could have shown
hur some little difference. Yet she
meant well, and we must consider tho
spirit of her offering."
"What good tiro marigold wreaths
when one is on the rubbish heap?" said
the jackal, hunting for fleas, but keep
ing one wary eye on his Protector of
tho Poor.
"True, but they have not yet begun
to make the rubbish heap that shall
curry me. Five times havo I seen tho
river draw back from tho village and
make new land tit tho foot of the
street. Five times havo I seen the
village rebuilt on tho banks, and I
shall see it built yet five times more I
am no faithless, tish-huntiug gavial, I,
ut Kasi to-day and Prayag to-morrow,
os the saying is, but tho true and con
stant wateher of the ford. It is not
for notliing, child, that the village
bears my name, and 'he who watches
long,' as. the saying is, 'shall at last
have his reward.'"
"I have watched loug very long
nearly all my life, und my reward has
been bites and blows," said the jackal.
"Ho! Ho! Ho!" roared the adjutant.
"In August wus the jackal bora,
The ralnj full in September;
, 'Now such a fearful Hood as this.'
Says he, 'I can't remember! ' "
There is one very unpleasant peculi
arity about the adjutant. At uncer
tain times he suffers from acute at
tacks of the fidgets or cramp in his
legs, and though he is more virtuous to
behold than any of the cranes, who are
all immensely respectable, he flies off
into wild, eripple-stilt war-dances,
half opening his wings and bobbing
his bald head np and down; while for
reasons best knovn to Uimsoll he is
very careful to time his worst attacks
with his nastiest remarks. At the last
word of his song he came to attention
aguin, ten times adjutauter than be
fore. to be co-stinted.
ETIQUETTE IN WASHINGTON.
1
Senator Kdmunds Was Authority ou the
Delicate Subject.
The wife of a new senator once told
me that she was determined to make
no social mistakes, so wise woman
that she was she nsked Senator Kd
muuds, who she know was thoroughly
conversant with every detail of official
etiquette, by reason of his long career
in the scuute, if it was not incumbent
upon her to make her first visit to tho
wives of foreign ministers, savs Kate
Field's Washington. Ho replied:
"Certainly not, madam; u senator
never makes tho first visit upon a for
eign minister."
So, thanks to her good sense in eon
suiting an old senator, this lady did
not make the mistake that a few less
wise new senators' wives have done of
making first visits, when etiquette re-
quired that they should receive them.
Of course, as the senate hus increased
in size the last few years, It can hardly
bo expected that foreign ministers
should call upon new senators, but
they ought to upon the old ones and
upon others whom they wish to know.
I think the charming wife of one of
the diplomats has adopted a very wise
rule, as she remarked to a senator's
wife to whom she had just been pre
sented: "I know it is my place to call
oa senators wives, but I wait until I
meet tliein, and I shall now give my
self tho pleasure of calling upon you."
If the Indies of the diplomatic corps
would follow the lead of this popular
lady, they would avoid some of the
mistakes that they now mako in our
official etiquette.
