When he had rested to his heart's content, he asked the sepoy, "How is it that in the water I drank, in the fruit I took, in the camphor I ate, I noticed a scent which Patmadhavrani always used?" The sepoys replied, "If the king promises to pardon us, we will tell him." The king promised.
He had to detach eight of his men three to the windows and five to the wall leaving only fourteen, including Bulger and Toley, to meet the rush in front. It was not long in coming. Diggle did not wait to parley. Taking a musket from one of his men he raised it to his shoulder and fired at a Sepoy, whose head just showed above the gate.
"Yes but listen: I am anxious to hear the conclusion of that remarkable story you began last night." "But," objected Raikes, "I have already told you all I know." "I am aware of that," answered the detective, "but your friend, the Sepoy, will doubtless oblige you with the balance. Arrange with him at breakfast-time for a continuation. I will return either to-night or to-morrow morning to hear it."
"I have had none," returned Raikes with a rasping lack of emotion, "for the last ten years. It is too late to begin to cultivate a disability now." "You are wrong," replied the Sepoy.

It was a day of days, and the artful Hawke laughed as he smoked his cigar upon a rustic bench in the castle Garden.

"Now," continued the Sepoy, "press the spring." As Gratz complied with this instruction, the lid of the shagreen case flew open and revealed the superb sapphire which had radiated such insidious depravity into the mind of the miser.
This was a house, 103 yards long, which contained the whole village, consisting of about sixty families. Fort Emma stands on the opposite side of the river to the village, and is in charge of a sepoy and four Malays. It is on a good position, armed with three small guns, and commands the village and entrance to the Kanowit stream. It was on this spot that Messrs.
