grained has a special interest for kine,
because it is ,the scene of my first

Kalalbagh and the IThul'valley, where,
I was engaged during one summer in
protecting .convoys andkeeping the
Alfsidis in order. It was•n4t a sinecure

pointed out—"this is the scene of

"'Yes, we had a skirmish there," he
answered, le'anin'g forward and look-

fell back ttlpo',n his pillow as if he had
'been''shat, while the same look of her-
ror came aver his face which I had
roam. At the same inst'aut there came,
apparently from the air immediately
above his bed, a sharp, ringing, tink-
ling sound, which I can only coin-
pare 'to the noise made by a bicycle
alarm, rhou'gh it differed from this in
having a •distinctly throb'bing,charac-
ter, 1 have never, 'before or since,
heard any sound which could be con-
founded with it. I stared round in as-
tonishment, wandering where it could
have come from, but without perceive
P
ing anything to which it would be as-
cribed.
"It's all right, doctor," the general
said with a fenced smile. "It's only
Amy private gong. Perhaps you had
better step downstairs and write my
pre'scrip'tion in the dining room."
He was evidently anxious to gest rid
of me; so I was forced to take my de-
parture, though I would' gladly have
stayed a little longer, in the hope of
something as to the origin of
the mysterious sound, I drove away
from the louse with the frill determine
ation of calling again upon my patient
and endeavoring to elicit some further
particulars as to his past life and pre-
sent circumstances. 1 was destined,
however, to he disappointed; for I re-
ceived that very evening a note from
tlae general himself, inclosing a hand-
some fee for my single visit, and in-
forming me that nay treatment had
done him so much good that he con-
sidered' himself convalescent, and
would not trouble me to see him
again,. This was the last and male'
communication which I ever received
from the tenant of Claomber.
I have been frequently asked by
neighbors and others who were inter-
ested in the matter, wleether he gave
me the impression of insanity. To this
1 must unhesitatingly answer in the
negative. On the contrary, his re -
marks gave me the idea of a man who
had both read and thought deeply, I
observed, however, during our single
inderview.'th'at his reflexes were feeble,
and other sigas that his constitution
was in ass _ unsatisfactory co'ndi'tion

oursel,ves and asked each other from
,what possilble quarter this peril was
a ,petted; but the more we thought
of it the more hopeless did any •solu-
tion appear. In vain we combined our
experiences and, pieced together every
word which'lad fallen from the lip of
any iraanate o'f Cloona'ber which might
be supposed to bear directly or in-
directly upon the subject.' At last,
weary with fruitless speculation, we
were fain to try and drive the natter
(roan our thoughts, consoling our-
,selves with the reflection that in a few
more days al! restrictions would be
removed, and we should 'be able to
learn from our frieleds' own lips.

would, we feared, be dreary long ones,
