The Weapon That Tried Several Timet to Kill Kipling. My mind has flown back down the years to London and into the large comer room on the second floor, V ti llers street, Embankment Gardens. On the wall fronting the Tlmmcs hangs the most vicious looking knife I have ever seen. It is serpentine In shnpe, and its downward point is ns sharp as a needle. "What a villainous weapon!" I said. "Yes," replied Kipling, and I forgot the name he gave it or the section of India from which It came. "That knife bns tried to kill me several times. It's always on the watch. When I got it there was lUllxed to it, like a button ou a foil, one joint of a man's backbone. The knife had been run Into the verlcbrae, given a savage twist and brought awny with it n piece of human framework." As he spoko he approached the glit tering, snakelike knife. "Don't touch It!" I cried. "You ought to keep It in a locked box." He didn't touch It, so far ns I saw, but as he raised his hand the knife dropped like a plummet nod stood quivering In the floor wltlilu an inch of his boot. "Leok at that!" he said and stood there without moving a muscle until I saw how nearly the sinister blade had come to impaling his foot. Robert Barr In London World.
