Recoauising that the "ball" was about to

ting the dusky forms, gave Mr. Farnwood a
chance ; and before the torch -bearer could
obey his chief's orders to throw the, brand
forward, two shots rang one from the
bungalow veranda and two dacoits went
down.
With a roar of rage, the whole gang left
the agreeable pastime of looting and made
a clash towards the house. They knew those
two shots meant that only the Englishman
was left in the village ; they could make
shore work of him by himself.
".Stand behind me 1" said Mr. Farnwood,
wheeling round his chair to command the
stairway. " Load my gun when . I give it
