The news that thrilled the Empire. The wonderful defense of Giltraza Fort, its relief at the eleventh hour and the amazing story of which the papers had got hold, to * the effect that the successful defense to the fort in the role of a Pathan British who had been admitted to the fort in a role of a Pathan emissary from the leader of the besieging force." The two or three British officers of the besieged force had been killed or had died of wounds or disease, and the weary and dis- heartened garrison of sepoys, half-starved, short of ammunition and gradually reduced in numbers, *-were despairing of being able to ' continue the defense. The apparent Pathan messenger, ( admitted to parley with the ' senior native officer, had declared , himself a British officer sent by the Sirkar to their belp, had announced the approach of a large relieving force, put on the uniform of one of the dead officers and gal- vanized the garrison Into new life and activity. And this officer was said to be a captain of Napier's Horse. And after the relief and his re- covery from a wound, lie had dis- appeared as suddenly and silently as he had arrived. Yhe affair caused a tremendous ' p - and the story was a nine days' winder. It wag recalled that an officer of that regiment had been cash- 1-vrd for drunkenness when In a most responsible post on active duty, had vanished and had been k'.iled, as wait supposed, by a BOB. And now someone credibly re- ported on excellent authority to tie he. had turned up In the wild buffer state of Giltraza, had saved the British fort there, kept the flag flying until relief carae and kail then disappeared into the blue as he had come out of It. And the name was Wendover. And long after the> matter bad been generally forgotten, Sybil got a letter from Major Hazel- rigg telling her all about It, and that Richard Wendover, flatly re- fusing to use the occasion as a basis of an appeal for pardon and reinstatement, had declined to re- turn to India with the relief force nd had actually disappeared again, presumably into the wilds of Khairastan. And this, added Major Haztl- rlgg, in spite of the fact that he had been able to establish with complete certainty and irrefutable proof that Richard Wendover had been entirely innocent of the charge on which he had been con- demned. He had not been drunk; he had been drugged, and Hazel- Tlgg bad obtained the confession of the actual criminal. What could one do with a man like that? "What could one do?" laughed Sybil. Why, one could go and find him and talk to him for his good, of course. The anciont city of Kharkaud ISSUE No. 28-^3 *2.?

PARDON, BUD is a picturesque and interesting place, but rarely beheld by Euro- pean eyes, or at le-as-t by those of Briton.--. The old town is a dilapidated dust heap; the new. a medieval high-walled city, the two forming the largest town In the southern portion of the Province of Phing- Kianr. The two Pathans. larse and stol- id men. who sat i ross-legged on a bench in front of a tea house watched with apparently incurious eyes and expressionless faces the crowd that eddied about the stalls and shops of the covered bazaar. Occasionally they en-hanged re- marks in murmured Pushtu as they speculated upon Turkis. Tung.ins, Kazaks. Bokharans. Afghans. Rus- sians. Indians and assorted "Asiat- ics. A tall lean mar. with drooping mu:ache9 nearly a foot in length clad in a long aod filthy coat, plus fours of ragged cotton and a par- ticularly bright and beautiful skull- cap of cherry-colored silk, stopped to beg. hut in doing so halted too suddenly" and too exactly in the way of a swaggering crop-headed Turcoman, half bandit, half sol- dier, in a bandolier-begirt khaki " uniform and red slippers, who promptly knocked him down, kickeil him In the stomach and went on his way rejoicing. As the beggar shink away the Pathan rose to his feet, yawned and stretched himself. " "Don't lose sight of him in the crowd. Shere Khan." he said, and led the way in pursuit of the un- prepossessing mendicant. The two Pathans swaggered along, their eyes filed upon a cherry-colored skull-cap that shone ' like an oriflamme through the dust haze and disappeared behind camel, stall, booth, or pile of mer- chandise, quickly to reappear. Finally, seeing that the two Pa- , thans were near and following, he darted through a narrow alley, waited at the- further end of it until they appeared in sight, turn- ed to the right and. after shuffling along with his eyes industriously searching the gutter for such trt-iMire-trove as a Japanese cig- arette end. finally came to anchor by the steps of a clean looking respectable house. PRETTY PINAFORE Netherlands Queen Now Shakes Hands It isn't generally known but it wasn't until her first visit to Canada about a year ago that Queen Wilhlemina of the Neth- erlands betran to shake hands. Her Majesty now is back in Ottawa for another visit with her daughter. Princess Juliana and shaking hands with people he meets conies quite naturally. In her own country th l^ueen of the Netherlands maintains a more formal position. On her first arrival here by aij from overseas she didn't quite know what was expected of her. Ami *o one of the official wl- cojiiing party from Government House told her shaking hands was the custom in Canadtt. "That's fine," Her Majesty r- plied. "I want to do anything Canadians would like me to do." She's been shaking hamis v hen the occasion Hi for it, ever TABLE TALKS SADIE B.

Shortage of girls made cutting- in scenes like this numerous. Ignoring the man. the P.itiiaus enired the verandah, were ac- costed by a servant anJ after brief colloquy were conducted further into the building, which was tiie house and office of the function- ary known as the British aksakal.

This in- dividual proved to be a Powiudah merchant who, having for forty years trodden the roads o* t'tn- tral Asia from Kabul to Nanking. from Irkutsk to Kashgar. from Srinazar to Calcutta, had at lust unwillingly settled down in Khark- and, a Tungan robber's bullet hav- ing shattered his knee ami c~ip- pled him serere-iy. * Having introduced himself and given proofs of his good faith, the Pathan calling himself Gul Ma- hommed proceeded to question the Powiudab, aksakal on such sub- jects as th state of the road to Kashgar, the best form ot trans- port camel, horse, or donkey the news as to changes in the political situation, the latest ba- zaar gossip and other matters <jT Interest. The. aksakal clapped his hamls, and as the servant entered bade him bring tea. The tea was brought already milked and sweetened in a kettle and poured \\a I.srye cheap mugs of Japanese make. C.ul Mahommed raised tiie mug to bis bearded lips and took a long drink. "By Allah, that is good tea: 1 ' he said, and smacked his lips loudly. "Caravan brick tea, 1 should say." 'Yes." admitted the akjjka!. "that is one thing good that one gets in this hole overland tea." "Yes?" murmured Gul Muhi'Ui- me<i. and added, "ami Russian cig- arettes a few, Russian caviar a little. And Russian pamphlets a lot.' The Powiudah slioi a u.uk-k glance at the speaker. "Where has he goni 1 ?" asked Gal .Miiuomnud. "Who knows the way of a bird through the air, a tish through the water, or of a Russian agetu through Ching-KiangV" shrugged the Powindah. "Look." said Gul M.iaomuitd suddenly. "The English are better friends than the Russians. Br.er paymasters." "Yes?" "1 have the ear of a saiiib who speaks with authority and whose words are heard when lit- niakrs recommendations. Would it not be a fitting aud a pleasing thins for you if you were transferred to, say. Yarkaud. Kashgar. or Srin- agar yea. even to Kabul itself?" "It would indeed. It would be a change from the desert to the oasis, from the barren to the sown. To Kabul? It would be a change from IbHs to Paradise. " (Continued Next Week) Some Requests About Lamb The leg of lamb for roasting and the chops for broiling are the generally well known cuts of lamb but, to be economical, con- centrate on breast, shank and neck. In cooking lamb the cardinal principle > the same as all meat cookery, that is. "cook at a mod- erate temperature, at least most of ^ the time.' Any meat cooked at high temperature loses juice and flavour: It also shrinks and ber-orues dry. For roasting tender cuts there are two important rules. The first. use no lid on the pan; the second. add no water. Covered roasters and added water go to make steam and when meat IB rooked with steam the flavor it lost and also the meat juices. The fat on lamb hardens at higher temperature than the fat on other meats, so be sure to serve lamb either piping hot or cold; not hike warm.
