By HOMER J. COUNCILOR. PART I, Yellow with age, dirty and finger- marked, broken in the creases, there was nothing about the old paper to attract one's attention other than the huge impression seal on one corner, The ink with which the few lines were scratched upon its face had faded to a sickly brown, One read, in part; "The Black Horse Troop will prepare at once for field service,: carrying heavy equipment. Ammunition and rations will 'be issued for one week. Proceeding northward the troop will establish headquarters at Delhi, and inspect successively each of the sur- rounding posts in Province of Punjab and adjacent states." Field orders! Keenon the scent of another Indian tale, we pressed old Sergeant Digby to relate the experi- ences of his famous troop on this expedition. At first he refused, de- claring that he had forgotten the entire incident, but, in his peculiar fashion, he had soon drifted into the thrilling story. These orders were issued on the day Saki reported for duty as .troop bug- ler. That was a great day. Salta had become a favorite with the entire troop and when, after weeks of prac- tice, he had thoroughly mastered the bugle and the various calls; the ban against native troopers was waived in his case and he was made a member of H. M. Colonials. With ceremonies quite out of proportion to the oc- casion, he was installed in his new position. We were just sitting down to an elaborate dinner—the cook's contribution to the celebration when an orderly handed me the paper. Glancing at it hurriedly, I caught its import. Rapping for silence, I read the order with great gusto. Nei one heard the closing words, however, for the rafters were ringing with shouts. This was taken as a fine omen, and Saka was welcomed as having brought good luck to the troop. Three days Iater, under Major James Henry Lloyd, we entered the United Provinces riding northward to- ward Delhi. Here we spent a few days establishing our headquarters and replenishing our laapenpment. Shortly thereafter we began the tour of inspection. Those were hard, busy days with long, dreary marches. Sometimes we. quartered in the native villages amid all their picturesque filth; sometimes —and that more frequently—we pit- ched our camp out in the open jungle. And such nights as those were! The heavy underbrush, the deep grasses, the overhanging trees alive with beasts of prey, held at bay only by the glare of our camp fires. Occasion- ally a leopard bolder than his mates or driven by the pangs of hunger would brave even the circle of fire in search of food. Then a shot from a sentry's' rifle would send him howling back into the darkness or stretch him snarling upon the ground. In either case the whole night would spring into life. The air would be filled' with whines and snarls• the dead branches and twigs would crack and snap, and should the mar- auder escape with but a wound he would not then be safe, since his blood thirsty companions would pounce •upon him. The law of the jungle—the weak and helpless the prey of the strong. And then again we would be desert- ed, not a sound would break the vast stillness. It was as though the great expanse of eternity had enveloped us. Strange as it may seem to you, those were the hardest to endure. Not a sound falling upon your ear drum. As you stood your watch you would feel the jungle madness creeping into your veins. The shrieking silence clutched your throat, you felt as though its weight were crushing you to death. Even the bravest of the troop dread- ed those nights. Occasionally in our aides we would encounter herds of wild elephants. Upon our approach they would beat a hasty retreat, breaking down everything in their pathway. At Zangli, up in the Kashmir country, we found the garrison under orders to move eastward. These orders also involved the addition of Mr..Wil- liarn Reynolds, a civil engineer, his wife and family; a son of some sixteen years and a daughter two years younger, to our party. We found Rey- nolds a valuable asset to the troop, since he had covered all that portion of the country in connection with his work. Re-entering the Punjab we headed to the southwest. Halted some ten miles out of Amritsar one noon, we were preparing for a light meal when the surgeon called the major aside. "Watkins has just reported sink, sir," he said. "The boys say he was taken suddenly on the road a couple of miles back, could hardly keep� his saddle. I don't like his looks. He is burning up with fever and his 'symp- toms are bad" Clearly from his worried expression the doctor: was even more concerned than he was willing to admit. "What do you think it is ?" asked Major Lloyd. "I would not like to say, .but if the symptoms do not change within an hour or. so I would say that it is the plague." "The plague! Great heavens! Not" t'He has every symptom. We can tell tin an hour or two. I have had him separated from the reset of the troop." "Very good. Say'' nothing about this until you are certain as to the condi- tion. Report to me at once any change or progress." NO one better than the major knew the meaning of this l•eport if true. Wild hearts and r,ovages we could 1 fight, but this nameless destroyer we, I could not. It was thought Lcat.to r,tle,mmpt to 6 reach Amritsar in any event, 1 ze former palace, of a deposed 'governor —which was far from wliat its name iznpl e' -.-�v as the only suitable shelter 1 available, T1i1s, was a large, three,- storey dwelling, built after the .true Indian architecture --arches, balconies 1 and lattice work. On the south a deep ravine fell , away frozethe foundation, The 1 stables, located east of the palace, fronted upon the open court, all of I which was unclosed by a high stone wall. this wall had but one opening, 1 a pair' of heavy gates at the western side, from which a wide drive led, through the surroundling garden, to the town, stragg]iing away in all di- rections. We found that this would accommodate the 200 men comprising the .troop; but the stables would care for only thirty of the horses. This difficulty we overcame by transforming one of .the rooms of the stableinto a store house and magazine .for our supplies and am- munition, and by transferring all the horses that could not be cared. for to a stockade about a mile south of the town. These were placed under the care of a corporal's guard, All native servants were at once dismissed and strict orders issued that none save the members of our own troop should be allowed to enter the grounds under any circumstances. For this precaution we ' later had cause to be deeply thankful. The sck trooper was. isolated and everything possible done for him, but shortly be- fore taps he died. From the course of his illness and the manner of his death there was no longer any doubt as to its•uause. The Black Death was upon us. A council was held at which it was decided to remain in our new quarters and meet the situation as best we might. During the next week our troop melted away before our eyes. Sturdy old soldiers who had withstood every hardship of campaign life, fell helpless victims to this dread disease. In order that the natives might not know of our plight and the fearful toll we were paying in lives, those who perished were buried under cover of darkness. Nor was the devastation limited to the palace. Reaching the stockade one morning for (inspection, we found the entire guard dead, and the horses in a frenzied state from a night attack of the jungle beasts.

Some people are always having prey monitions about some terrible thing that is going to happen. They are like ' the captain of a ship on a dangerous sea; always standing on life's bridge, gazing into the foggy future. They feel sure that there is an iceberg near by, or that there is going to be a col- lision, or a disaster of some kind. I know a most estimable woman who has really become obsessed with the conviction that some dire thing right in the near future is either going to wreck her life or make her very, miserable. Yet the disaster does not' come. In fact, I never knew one of the things• she fears to take place. No one can really enjoy life or get the most out of it who is all the time haunted by impending disaster. No one can lead a happy or efficient life who is always dogged by fear, always on the watch for icebergs, looking for trouble ahead, When anxiety comes in at the door, happiness goes out at the window. People who never seem to feel that they have any certainty in their lives, who go through life as if they were walking along the edge of a skyscrapper, in constant terror lest they fall off and be killed„ do not know what happiness is. I have known one of these "life ---"1 bridge" people many years, and every time I see him I feel like asking him if he has had any serious trouble or any misfortune. There is always an anxious, strained, far -away look in his face which is sometimes almost tragic. lie is a very honest man, and a tre- mendous worker, who has amassed considerable money, but he has gotten very little out of life, has taken very little comfort and has had very little enjoyment. Ho is hardly ever away from his place of business—always grinding grinding, worrying, anxious, fearing that something will go amiss in spite of all his efforts. Now, if we would do our part well, there must be peace in the mental kingdom, a sense of security, of safe- ty, of certainty, in our lives. No mat- ter how much money we make, how successful we may be in our vocation, if there is nothing complete, nothing enduring or satisfactory in our lives, we are failures.. No life can be really happy' r satis- factory until one learns the secret of excluding fear—that is, to have confi- dence in the Power that made us, that sent each of us here on a seeriai this, sion. u To be really happy and ccessfu:Tee we must have a great abiding faith that there is a Power, an. Intelligence in the universe that does all things well. The man who is .all afloat, who does not believe in anything outside the material, who doubts that there is a God, who believes that we are all the puppets of fate, that we are at the mercy of chance or an irresponsible destiny, can have neither peace of mind, nor real success. Magicians of the Human Brain. On a rough estimate, the brain con- tains 500,000,000 cells, each having a consciousness of its own. Your self- consciousness — your personality — shoulcl be the master of all these will- ing slaves. They are the genii of the mind, humbly waiting to do your bidding; guardians of the vast stores of ideas that you—more often than not without realizing it—have gathered along Itfe's highway. Are you one of the feckless kind, who have "no idea," or are you in the ranks of the sensible, who sum- mon the spirits of the intellect to their aid? How is this done? Nothing ix1444, simple. Get the problem fairly and squarely into your head, and then for- get it! The little genii of the brain refuse to be coerced. Humor them, however, and there is no limit to what they can, and will, do for you. You have to make, a decision. Turn the problem round and round in your head till you are giddy, you will get no nearer to a solution. Put it away from you. Don't force your thoughts; leave them alone, and behold, suddenly, when you least expect it, the idea you have been searching for will jump up into your mind, toe be instantly recog- nized as the one that you wanted. The magicians of the brain would appear to be more amenable to femin- ine than to masculine rule, for the pro- verbs of all nations• agree that wo- man's best ideas are her first ones, while man has to wait for second thoughts if he would act rightlyeBele. Our search for ideas, too, must be sys'te'matic if we want to get hold of useful ones. According to the Platonic philoetwsiy ideas are the universal types of which individual seecimexrs, are the more or less• imperfect copies; so that we need not be downhearted if we cannot carry out our ideas in practice exactly as they oceur to use in the mind.
