Khadija.
BT MICHAEL OIFFORD WHITE.
(Copyright, 1W0, Dully Btory Pub. Co.)
Bested on his spirited charger In the
scarlet and gold laced uniform of the
guard, the Jnmadar Muhammad Hunaln
Khan seldom failed to draw admiring
glances from European as well as na
tive female eyes attentions which he
seemed to little appreciate In the deep
attachment which he felt for his young
wife, Khadija. All had gone well with
the Jamadar, and his ambition to be
appointed an aide-de-camp to the
Tleeroy seemed in a fair way to be
trr.tined, when a new governor gen
eral of India and his wife came np to
Blmla, bringing with them aa an at
tendant npon the latter, a .French
maid, Ellse Dumnnt
From the first this young woman of
coquettlahly fascinating exterior
evinced a discreet partiality for the
handsome native officer, casting in his
direction stolen glances of admiration.
and giving vent to little sighs and ex
clamations of rapture whenever thero
was a probability of their bolng no
ticed or overhead by the object of her
affection. 1
"Oh, mon dieu!" she exclaimed, upon
a certain occasion when the Jamodnr
stood near by. "Ho 1b so so hand
some, that brave Indian eabreur.
Then Bhe delivered a cupld's dart from
her eyes that went home true to Its
mark in the breast of Muhnmmnd
Huaaln Khan. The Jamadar looked
grave, twirled his fierce moustaches,
and then smiled. "By the beard of the
Prophet," he thought, "that little for
eign girl has a comely form. And
the thought abode with him during the
rest of the day and brightened his
dreams by night.
From that moment in the bungalow
home of Muhammad Husaln Khan,
where previously all happiness had
reigned, disquietude took possession
"Thou art away ft great deal now
and thy brow looks troubled, my
Muhammad," said his wife. "Is not all
going well?"
"The new Viceroy Sahib has much
for me to do," he replied. "I
hope to be appointed ono of his aides-de-camp,
as the Blsaldar Abdul Hanlf
is old and will retire soon. These
things are upon my mind."
Khadija regarded her husband
thoughtfully, and then asked: . "Am I
growing old too in thine eyes, Muham
mad?"
"Why dost thou ask, Khadija?"
"Because," and she hesitated a mo
ment. "Because of late I had thought
that I did not appear so well favored
"Don't thou not love me a little in
return?"
before thee. I thought that perhaps
thou were going to bring another wife
to place over me; and I prayed Allah
that it might not be so, for did I not
save thee from the cholera, O my hus
band. Ah! you love me still do you
not?" she cried, taking one of his
hands and placing it upon her fore-
bead. ' .
The tall soldier looked kindly down
upon bis wife as he replied: "I have
not forgotten. Khadija. Didst thou
think I bad done so?"
"I do not know," she returned, "but,
0, Muhammad, there is a greater dan
ger than the cholera nigh thee."
Khadija paused aa It fearful that rbe
had Bald more than was prudent, and
drawing her chudder about her with a
significant glance loft the bungalow.
The Jamadar thoughtfully regarded his
wife's retreating figure, then adjusting
his turban, he also left the house, mak
lng his way through the Viceregal
compound just as darkness was swiftly
descending. Avoiding the buildings of
the Viceregal lodge, the jamajlar finally
approached a spot screensd by a clump
of bamboo, about which he peered In a
manner that indicated the keeping of
a secret appointment.
Evidently disappointed in his expec
tations, he impatiently strode back and
forth a short distance, when a voice at
his elbow caused him to start for the
owner bad approached him unobserved,
"Ah I my brave soldier," cried the
voice softly. "Surprised at your post.
That is not good. I am late. I know,
for the rendetvous, but miladl took
terrible time over her dressing to
night"
"If the enemy always surprised in
aucb a form, who would tear the con
j sequences," gallantly replied the native
officer, as he salaamed low before a
I dainty white form.
"Thank you, sir." rejoined the girl
"Ah, no!" exclaimed the girl, play-
; fully avoiding hU embrace. "No, not
those things, but yet I would like that
you should prove your love."
"Tell me, tell me how?" he besought
eagerly.
The Jamadar drew close to her and
passionately whispered: "Thou are as
beautiful as the lotus bud. I love tboe
I would make thee my wife. Ask any
thing of mr," money, , Jewels, silks
What is ltou desire, my treasure?
"It Is seh a little, little thing that
I would bk you to do; and sUll
"Tell me quldtly," he Interposed.
"Well, hush!" Then starting as the
bamboos creaked. "Ah! what was
that?" she asked. "What noise was
that among the bushes?"
"It is nothing," replied the Jamadar,
drawing hla sword and thrusting it be
tween the canes. "Perhaps a Jackal
or a fox. Do not be frightened. Come,
tell me the tittle thing that is to be the
price of thy love."
'Listen," said the girl, drawlnn
closer to her companion. "The Viceroy
has been busy these two days with
some papers that now lie on his table
I am curious to know if the name oi
a friend is mentioned in them, and
and I want to look at those papers
Yon understand?"
'Thou wouldst look through sonw
papers of the Viceroy Bahlb?" repeat
ed the Jamadar.
'Yes. Do you not comprehend, an
I need your assistance to got them.'
The Jamadnr drew himself up to hli
full height. "It could not be done,"
he replied tersely.
"Now, I see," exclaimed the girl
"You do not care for me. I thought so.
You swear by your Prophet that you
love me, but when it comes to a test,
then you say, no, it is impossible.
Very well. I do not like such affec
tion, my brave sauvage," and eh
turned quickly as if about to lcavt
him.
"But listen; listen, my treasure," h
pleaded. "Dost know what would
happen If I were discovered?"
"A bas! You would not be discov
ered," she retorted. "It would be so
simple If you carry out my instruc
tions. The papers now lie on the Vice
roy's table in his study. You can pasi
In there as if to deliver some reporti
without causing suspicion. 1 will wall
on the veranda outside the window
Then you can hand the papers to m
and by the light from within I can so
if my friend's nnme is mentioned. It
will only take five three little min
utes, and is so Impossible of harm
You will, you will to please me, mj
handsome soldier?"
The native officer pondered deeplj
for a moment, when a Boft hand laid
caressingly upon his cheek decided th
matter.
"Well or 111, for thy sake I will dc
this thing." he said, "though discov
ery means "
"You will not be discovered inter
posed the girl. "But there is no tlm
to lone as dinner will soon be over
when the Viceroy returns to bis room.
No, not yet," she protested, as the
Jamadar again sought to embrace her.
"When I have seen the papers, thea
you may take your reward. Now go
quickly."
So with an amorous parting whisper
the Jamadar made his way to the front
entrance of tho lodge, while the
French maid cautiously passed round
to the window ehe had indicated.
"When I know what is In those pa
pers," she- soliloquized, "will I marry
the black soldier? I think not I will
carry my secret to the handsome Mon
sieur Preloff of the Russian embassy
In Paris who has promised to pay me
for it with a ring. To think that I
could love this black sauvage. Ah, mon
dleu! how ridiculous. He is a One fool.
I have tricked him well."
The Jamadar entered the mansion
and passed unquestioned into the
Viceroy's study. There finding himself
unobserved, he took a small packet of
papers from the table, and was about
to pass them out of the open window,
when his band was thrust roughly
back, the window abruptly closed, and
a scuffling of feet without followed by
a few smothered screams led him to
conclude that the plan had been dis
covered. Hastily replacing the papers upon
the table, he was about to leave the
room when he found himself con
fronted by the Viceroy, who had risen
early from dinner to resume work
upon some dispatches to the minister
at Kabul.
"Ah. Jamadar," said the Viceroy
gravely. "You are the very man 1
wanted to see."
"He is going to order my arrest,"
thought the native officer, as be sa
luted nervously. "A court martial will
settle my affair with the foreign girl."
"I am about to Intrust you with a
very important commission," resumed
the Viceroy. "Certain dispatches are
to be sent by special messenger to
Kabul, and you have been selected to
command the escort Should you ac
quit yourself well, as I have no doubt
will be the case, you will be appointed
an aide-de-camp on my staff. Here is
your commission," and the Viceroy
took up one of the papers in question
from bis table.
The Jamadar was so astonished that
he was unable to do more than again
salute, and in faltering sentences ex
press bis appreciation of the confi
dence reposed in him.
Returning to his bungalow, be there
found bis wife, to whom he communi
cated his good fortune.
"Thou hast seen greater danger to
night than the cholera, Muhammad,"
she spoke gravely.
"How so?" he asked.
"Hadst thou delivered those papers
to the Frenchwoman, thou wouldst
surely have been discovered. 6 he was
watched."
"Thou knowest then?"
"Aye, I watched thy meeting as a
fox from under the bushes. I heard
and followed her, and sprang on her
as a leopard on the enemy of its own.
Ah husband," and she placed, ber arms
about his neck. "Twice have I saved
thee. Dost thou not love me a little
In return?"
"Truly thou art well named
Khadija, my faithful wife," be an
swered, carresslng her affectionately.
i It la somewhat of a satisfaction to
note the failure of our friends who
declined to follow our advice.

A German physicist O. Tammann,
lias recently discovered some hitherto
unnoted facts concerning ice nnd tho
freezing point o: water. He finds that
not only does the freezing point vary
with the pressure, but that three dif

each possessing Its own crystalline
structure. Thus water may now bo

Lord Baylelgh, In discussing our
ability to tell the direction from
which sound proceeds, calls attention
to an Interesting difference between
tho eyes and the cars with regard to
the slzo of the waves that strike
them. The average wave-length of
light Is nbout one ten-thousandth of
tho diameter of the pupil of the eye.
Ou the other band, "the waves of
sound issuing from a man's mouth,"
Bays Lord Rnylelgu. "are about eight
feet long, whereas the dlnmeter of tho
passage of the ear Is quite small, nnd
could not well have been made a largo
multiple of eight feet." Ono conse
quence of the minuteness of light
waves in comparison with the slzo of
the eyes Is that the lenses of the eyes
are able to concentrate rays of llgb
upon the retina with great efficiency.
Some curious submarine features of

what is now the sea. On the subsi

Into the ocean. In tho centre of tho
English Chnnnol is one of these old
river gorges, which can still bo traced
from the Straits of Dover westward
for seventy miles, nud which reaches
a depth of 200 to 250 feet below tho
bed of tho Channel. It is known from
Its discoverer, ns "Kurd's Deop." Tho

a ravine that can now be followed for
sixty or seventy miles on tho sea's bed,
