"You do not understand me," said the negro to the officer; "Prince Djalma is one of us, for he bears on his left arm the name of Bowanee." "Yes! he is like us, a son of Kale!" added the Malay. "He is like us, a Phansegar," said the Indian.
"Thank heaven, you will never be asked for such proofs of your submission." "What I am ordered I do. Bowanee sees me." "I do not doubt your zeal.
"Bowanee makes corpses which rot in the ground. The Society makes corpses which walk about." "Ah, yes! Perinde ac cadaver they were the last words of our great saint, Ignatius de Loyola. But who is this Bowanee?" "Bowanee is to the Society what a child is to a man," replied the Asiatic, with growing excitement. "Glory to the Company glory! Were my father its enemy, I would kill my father.
"They have just discovered, in British India, a community whose members call themselves 'Brothers of the Good Work, or 'Phansegars, which signifies simply 'Thugs' or 'Stranglers; these murderers do not shed blood, but strangle their victims, less for the purpose of robbing them, than in obedience to a homicidal vocation, and to the laws of an infernal divinity named by them 'Bowanee.

Should this appear incredible, we would remind the reader of the marvellous discoveries in the art of embalming particularly Dr. Gannal's.

"Great interest." "It is very praiseworthy in you. Continue as you have begun, and you may one day belong, completely to our Company," said Father Caboccini, affectionately. "I am as yet but a poor auxiliary member," said Faringhea, humbly; "but no one is more devoted to the Society, body and soul. Bowanee is nothing to it." "Bowanee! who is that, my good friend?"
"We, too, have the world for our country, brother, our accomplices for our family, and for our queen Bowanee." "I do not know that saint," said Rodin, humbly. "It is our Rome," answered the Strangler. "Van Dael speaks to you of those of your Order, who, scattered over all the earth, labor for the glory of Rome, your queen.
