A VINDICTIVE KNIFE.
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
