Bamboo 0 WAND. 2 OLONEL VAL ENTINE.a wor thy but some whit irascible army officer, just retired and looking forward to a life of well England on liberal glancing over the parned ease in half-pay, was recently arrived periodicals in a shady seat at the edge of the great military esplanade at Madras, on a certain blistering hot morning, when he looked up over his spectacles at three j figures that were approaching hita I across the parade ground. The approaching group consisted of i two junior officers and a pale, intel lectual-looking man, in the semi-civilian or fatigue dress of the navy. '"Ha:" thought Colonel Valentine. "Beekford and Dashwood, eh? with that ship surgeon, who is said to have been a detective in his time." Then a gentle, almost stealthy step near at hand caused him to turn, and his face colored angrily at what he considered an intrusion. "The devil!" exclaimed Colonel Val entine, as the new-comer, one of the mess stewards, a native Hindoo, came along the shaded path and paused obsequiously before him. "Ah, no, sahib colonel," gently pro tested the man; "not the devil, but only poor Mahmndi, who has been so miserably unfortunate as to offend you, and would beg your excellency's forgiveness." The man carried an ordinary long bamboo wand, or walking-stick, such as is a common custom with the serv ing men of the East, and which he kept softly balancing to wmd fro as he spoke. But the officer, who had had some words with this man some days pre vious, and had, indeed, procured his discharge from the mess service, was little disposed to mercy just now. "Out of my sight, dog!" he ex claimed. "How dare you take up my words in that way? Begone!" Mahmudi made a trembling salaara, though with a glint of the dark eyes and a slight compression of the full, wominish lips that should have placed the other on his guard. '"My situation is gone, my family in distress," he expostulated, yet more whiningly. "Am I to understand that the sahib colonel refuses to withdraw his displeasure from his poor Mahmudi, and " "Understand what you please, and bpgone, or I'll help you to the: right about!" roared the choleric old gen tleman, and he grasped his heavy Malacca stick menacingly. "A pretty pass, truly, when an officer " He was cut short by a repetition of the servile salaam, even more abject than before, but in the course of which the tip of the bamboo wand, seemingly by the most absolute inad vertence, just touched the baud with which the old officer grasped his walking- stick. The latter suddenly gave a sharp cry, his face first purpling-, then paling to ashy whiteness, his eyes fairly popping out of his head, as he pressed the hand to his lips, and then fell back on the rustic bench he had been so cosily oc cupying. "The plague the mysterious stroke. I am done for!" he gasped. Then he fell off the btnch insensi ble, while the three g-entlemen hur ried up, with an astounded cry, and the Hindoo clasped his hands to gether over his wand, apparently in even greater panic and consternation. They lifted up the stricken man, but a brief examination on the part "I AM DONE FOR. of Doctor Mardyn. the navy surgeon referred to, was sufficient for him to announce it as a case of instant death. "Thunder and lightning! the ninth victim," exclaimed Major Beekford. "When and how is this mysterious death-roll to end?" "How did it happen, Mahmudi?" de manded the surgeon, after a ghastly pause. "Yon were speaking to him. Had you said anything to excite or annoy him?" "Alas, no, sahibs!" repied the Hin doo. "On the contrary, the 6ahib colonel seemed to be in the best of humors. Suddenly ah, how shall I describe it? I was bowing before him in my thankfulness for he had just kindly said that I should be taken back in the mess service when, poufl be gave a cry of pain, ho clutched at his heart, and all was over." "Never mind," interposed the major; "run up to quarters and give the alarm. Be sura to bring back Doctor Pal-rave with you, to.j. " For a little over two months now, a horror of mystery and death had hung over the garrison Officer after officer had been mys teriously and appallingly stricken down by death in rapid succession. As Beekford had declared, Colouel Valentine made the ninth victim. The symptoms were the same in each and every case instantaneous paralysis, with intense speechless agony for the fleeting moment, then death as by an apoplectic stroke of un paralleled swiftness. Medical authorities were equally at fault. Snake bite was suggested more than anything else, but then the symptoms were different in many particulars from those attendant upon the bite of the cobra, which is responsible for nineteen-twentieths of the fatalities from this cause in India. Moreover, why should a commis sioned officer have been the victim in every instance never once a private soldier or any one in comparatively humble employment about the poist? Thus an element of private malice or vensreanoe seemed to enter into the mystery. Doctor Mardyn, who, as the colonel said, had once been a professional de tective, took a great interest in the mysterious deaths. He found that there was one man who had been in the immediate vicinity of each of the successive victims, and this man was the Hindoo, Mahmudi. The man had borne a good reputa tion at Madras, but upon making in quiries, the doctor discovered that along the coast, where he was em ployed before coming to Madras, he had the reputation of being vindictive and remorselessly revengeful to the last degree, although always under the cloak of a servile and treacherous amiability. Moreover the Hindoo had lived long in Sumatra, where he was associated as a boy with the terrible thugs. After the colonel's funeral, Mardyn was one of a group of officers who were discussing the last mournful event in the mess room, when Mah mudi who had again been taken into the service passed with his accus tomed salaam, and carrying the in evitable bamboo wand. An idea suddenly occurred to Mar dyn. "Here, Mahmudi A word with you, my man!" he called out. "Bet me look at that staff of yours a moment." The man looked startled, but (speed ily recovered his 6elf-possession, though instead of advancing he drew back. "This, shaib," he murmured, hold ing up the wand. "A simple, inof fensive reed that is all." Aiive it to me, I say!" cried Mardyn sternly enough now, and with a sig nificant vehemence that at once aroused the interest of his com panions. "A simple reed, yes; but why has it always been your com panion just prior to each of these mysterious deaths with which your presence or proximity has invariably been associated? That is what I want to know. Let me examine the staff, I say!" But at this juncture the Hindoo, to the surprise of everybody, suddenly took to his heels, with a terrified cry. The young surgeon, however, was after him in an instant. The Hindoo was overtaken; there was a briefslfetruggle for the posses sion of the stall, and then to the gen eral amazement, Mahmudi uttered a shrill scream, and fell as if shot. "It is fate!" he gasped, more com posedly, as they surrounded him. "Accursed sahibs! yes, I was the mur derer of one and all of them, and I glory in the record." He then stiffened oat, and instantly expired. A cry of horror then arose, as a lit tle serpent was perceived darting its ugly head out of the wand which the naval surg-eon carefully held in his hand. Doctor Palgrave, the post surgeon, assisted Mardyn in ths examination of the reptile that followed, and then 1, ... n 4-1, & ..... . I .. .. .. j 1 1 I- ' I UIJOICIJI - i Wild DUWCD91TD lULUll' ties was solved at last. The serpent was a specimen of the echys carinata, which is never more than a few inches long, and is so hor ribly venomous that its bite is capa ble of causing death in a few seconds. The murderous Hindoo had only re vived an ancient custom among -Indian criminals by confining it in the hollow of his bamboo wand, so that its head just barely protruded at the" open end. Then the merest touch of his unsus pecting enemy or object of his resent ment with the tip of the innocent looking but diabolical weapon would cause the snake to plunge its fan-s into the defenseless flesh, and death ensued with the certainty almost the suddenness of tha lightning stroke. It was fortunate for the clever sur geon that, in the struggle for the bamboo wand, the horrible reptile did not bite him instead of the murderous Hindoo. Italian !)octnri.
