"Can I be spared the humiliation of meeting that old dotard you have sent for?" "I do not see how," replied Gratz. "What do you gain by it?" asked the Sepoy. "I cannot tell that in advance; possibly nothing," replied Gratz. "That is likely," replied the Sepoy quietly. "We shall see," exclaimed the detective. "I am working out a theory; I need the assistance of all concerned."
After a night of fortifying slumber, Dennis arose, breakfasted, and boarded an elevated train, which presently conveyed him to the vicinity of Central Park. Here, after securing a seat to his fancy, he withdrew Series B from the wrapper, detached bosom No. 1 and began. When Raikes had parted from the Sepoy, a degree of his customary hardness and assurance was evident in his manner.
Who can say that the skill and valour of the general who has added a province to our Indian empire who, triumphing over obstacles hitherto insurmountable, has caused the tide of victory to flow from East to West, and make the Sepoy invincible may not erelong be called upon to fulfil the thankless task of suppressing insurrection, and to control the kindling fury of a mistaken, it is true, but of a kindred population?
Whatever objections may have been forming in the mind of the miser were quickly dissipated by a look from the Sepoy, and without another word Raikes and his nephew departed. "Well," inquired Gratz, when the two were again alone, "what have you to say to me that you do not want Raikes to hear?"

The third time he did so the figure dropped off his blanket, and, with a sudden bound, threw himself on the sentry's back; at the same moment a Sepoy in uniform darted out from the tent. One hand of the assailant in which was a damp cloth was pressed tightly over the mouth and nostrils of the sentry; the other grasped the lock of his musket, so that it could not be discharged.
It was a serious one; the ball had entered the chest below the collarbone; had it been fired from a level it would have been fatal; but the Sepoy having stood so much below it had gone out near the neck, smashing the collar-bone on its way. Ned had become unconscious from the shock to the system. "We must take to the dome at once," Colonel Warrener said.
One Sepoy had been killed by the discharge from the tank, and three or four wounded, but otherwise we had not suffered. The Colonel quickly made his dispositions, and the little force marched boldly out from its shelter and faced the enemy.
