The Boston Transcript THOMPSON OF OURS. THE CONFIDENTIAL REPORT. Up there between Quetta and Can dahar it gets very cold in January a nasty, biting, blustering cold that nips the liver and shortens the temper; that comes whistling round your mud hut with a northeast wind from off the snows, and cracks the shrivelled kin off you like old parchment. The Colonel blew on his fingers, howled for fresh wood to be piled up on the fire, and full to the contempla tion of his thumb, which was frost bitten. Before him upon the table lay the loathsome sheets of foolscap known as the "Annual Confidential Reports. Someofthesewere already filled in, some blank as ytt. Each was headed by the name of an officer, and fringed by the impertinent personal riddles set yearly for commandants to answer. Now, pven when forced to look from the point of view of disapproval upon any one of his "Boys," this honorable, kindly English gentleman held the system of confidential disparagement in horror. But really this morning, what with the cold and the maggots in the rice which had put him off his breakfast, and the extraordinary de lay in the mail letters, he felt inclined to damn every man-jack of them, him self included.' With a roaring blizzard searching your bones, and a suspicion of fever in your blood, and nothing decent to eat, you don't feel like certi fying that every soul under your com mand is remarkable for all qualities that go to make saints upon earth. Anyhow, tlio Colonel did not feel like it. lie begun turning Over tiiu sheets, with that sickly, languid feel ing of revolt with which monotony la its unpleasant forms is apt to inspire one after Ions years of patient grind. Ho hated those grim skeleton sketch es in black and white. It was always the same thing the same weary struggle to combine strict truth with fair words; to put "Yes"' where it ought to be "No," and "No" where it ought to be "Yes." For were they indeed all these youths zealous in well-doing, all talented, all factful, all of equable temper? Had they every one of them been endowed from their cradles with unnatural sagacity and aptitude for command? VVere they; in short, ready-made generals from the moment tliuv entered the service? Alas, no! The Colonel's eye wandered ! to his crippled thumb again and then back to the sheets under his other hand, and presently fell upon a certain name heading one of them. Whereupon he cursed the authorities in his heart for a pack of fools and eighed. It was Thompson Lieuten ant William Thompson known by the name of "Billy." The Colonel took it in his hand and sighed again. There was not one, or hardly one, of those cut-and-dried : . 1 t u v j gracefully, yet conscientiously, as re garded this young man. "I could describe him in three words," groaned the Colonel; "harum-scarum young devil." Then, for he liked the lad, he began to wonder how oj earth he was to till up that Report. He was a keen sol dier himself, and, if truth be told, had a partiality for the type so pithily de scribed in those three words. He would rather have such with him in the field than some others for whom perchance more could be said on pa per. Of such he knew was the king dom of heroes. The ghosts of many haunting trage dies came crowding into the old sol dier's mind as he sat fingering that in ternal paper. Via any of these harsh moral photographs of them, with "Yeses" and "Noes" in the most un becoming places, lie rotting still per haps in the Adjutant-General's offices? He got up shivering and kicked the logs into a blaze, then returned with stern determination to the study of the vexing questions in hand. What could he say for Billy Thompson? The laa naa the temper ol a game buii-ler- rier, the tact and judgment of a New- foundland puppy, and about as much ability and acquirement as the aver age English schoolboy. The thought of Billy Thompson as ornamented with the complete list of "Confidential Report" virtues was not hing less than grotesque. , . He glanced down the list. Why, that very morning he had spent a bad half hour in wigging the youngster for shortcomings in almost every item. Late acain for Parade. Violent with a Sepoy. Hadn't the faintest notion of his drill, aad so on. "What on earth am I to say for you, sir?" he had asked, angrily, tap ping the bundle of uncompromising papers, at which ililly glanced with rueful despair iu his honest eyes. "You are distinctly careless, wanting intact, useless at office work what's the use of complaining of your writers, sir? inattentive and argumentative Ride? Of course; and that's about all youre re fat tor. That and tennis: but unluckily these won't advance you in your profession, nor gain your respect nor fit you tor a command." Then the Colonel had stolen a look at the frank, bright face, and thought for the millionth time how ridiculous it all was. The lad was honorable and brave. Why not trust to time and training to do the rest? He wanted a tight hand over htm of course; but why be forced to send up a, nasty, disparaging report ol him to headquarters? Somehow the Colonel could not find it in his heart to doit, and was still worrying over it, when a telegram was brought in addressed "To the Official Commanding," This was followed shortly by a knock at the rough door opening outward on to the cold, wind-swept inclosure, - a, struggle to shut the same, and a tall, smart- looking officer entered, helmet in band. ' . . KOh, that you llamerton! I was just goim to send (or you. There's a row un JChunat war. Jamee or the police wounded. Uhazis again killed a lot of neonle. I'm ordered to send an intelligent officer to invratigatethe thing and report. You 11 have a ticklish job but I can rely upon you. I've been thinking whom you had bet ter take. You see, I can spar only one or two, either Bates or Thomp son. Bates haa the longest head, and yet Thompson well, if it came to blows, somehow I should prefer Thompson. But as you like." As he said this the Uoionei instinc tively glanced at the pilo ol papers be side him. Bates's name happened to lie uppermost, with its every question snugly and neatly answered. Thomp son's had frisked oft gayly in the draught of the open door, and was just saved from being chewed under the table by llamerton 's puppy, who had followed his master in. "It shall belittle Billy," Majorllam erton said to himself; and proceeded to the discussion of further details concerning escort and commissariat arrangements for the small expedi tion. A littlebefore nightfall they started, a party of fifteen in all: the two Eng lish officers Billy in a state of the wildest joy, and bursting with impor a nee a dufTedar; and twelve Sewars of the Khunaz Horse. A second tele gram had been received soon after the first saying that the Uhazis. who were few m number, had taken themselves off; that a native hospital assistant was in charge of James the wounded Eolice officer; that he was to be rought back here, because there was no other European doctor nearer than Quetta. "Hope we come across the beggars," Billy said, gleefully. But the Colonel, who had ridden out a little way with the party, and had wished them "good lurk," found himself saying something like a prayer in his heart tor the safe return of tlio two men, who were, in his opinion, the very pick of the regiment. In times of peace these inglorious little brushes with sneaking Ghazis are not among the pleasantest feat ures of service in Afghanistan. To an old soldier they suvor too much of that potting fiom behind hedges with which the Irish peasantry have famil iarized us, and to which no military glory is attached. He does not care about sending out good men to furn ish targets for skulking devils who have no ground of quarrel, but are merely possessed of a fanatical desire to spill Fcrringhee blood. Wherefore the Commanding Officer was ill at ease, and for the next two days there fell a dullness and malaise upon everybody in camp. Like the inlluen za, it attacked them all, from the Colonel downward, only as Kipling says that is another story. It whs in tlio spring of 1800 that the influenza came sweeping over Af ghanistan, death-laden from Euro pean cities. It was when April had cast its brief ethereal spell upon this baren spot, and had woven a fairy carpet of flowors all over the plain, teaching the grim landscape the mean ing of a smile. Only for a few beauti ful days in all the year is the ground moist and fragrant, and covered with delicate short-lived blossoms. Like lovely ghosts they come and go the white wild hyacinth bells, the small red tulip, the exquisite purple iris. It was with these sweet visitors that the influenza came, dealing suffering and death among the lonely scattered out posts, whore comforts are few and ux vines ior uie sick unprocurable. But in this Januarv. the plain was baren of any verdure or vegetation, save for a leafless scrub that grows low upon the earth and gives out a fragrance resembling that of wild thyme. And you could see right away to the horizon in one direction, and as far as a chain of low rocky hills in the other. Upon the third day after the depart ure of the expedition the Colonel rode out to reconnoitre along with tlio doctor, who was always gamo for a ride. The Commanding Officer was more anxious than he allowed to ap pear. Somehow a two years' sojourn in those dreary wilds draws men very close together when they are made of good stuff. The party ought to have returned ere this, and the Colonel s heart was disquieted within him. He was scanning the horizon carefully, when suddenly he pulled up and shad ed his eyes. 'What s that little cloud of dust. doctor? Is it a 'devil' or a couple of horsemen?" The doctor, whose eyes were young er, answered that it was no "devil." but horsemen, and that they were making for camp. Uy Jove! exclaimed the t.oionei with his field-glasses up, "it is it's Thompson and a Sowar! In another moment they were cut ting across to meet them. Billy was riding a length or two m front, and his jaded horse pulled up of its own accord as he neared tho approaching riders. The Sowar saluted, and remained stolidly im movable in the background. Both men and horses were caked with dust, and wore a wearv. dewcted air. "we re bringing in James all right, . " - - ..... sir," answered isilly in response to the Colonel's questioning gesture But we had a fight Ghazis, this side Khunaz. Hamertoii's badly wounded. I've come on for the doctor; his only chance. The black fellow bolted who was looking after James. Can the doctor go at once, sir? This Sowar wants a fresh horse, that's all." After a word or two with the Com mandant, the doctor sped toward camp with the Sowar at his heels. He paused for a moment by the side of iSilty, and looked him in the face. ".I shall be under way in ten min utes," he said. "Look here, old fel low, you ve had about enough; go home and turn in." He was struck by the look of agony and mental strain on the boy's face. After that the Colonel got very few words out of him. He saw that the young fellow was done up, and ques tioned him little. His mouth was parched, so that he could with diffi culty articulate. His strong young figure was bowed over the horse s neck. As they were Hearing camp the doctor wicn nis escort roue out, ana called back some cheeping words to him. Five ' minutes later they were out of sight. Once within camp limits the Colonel dismounted, and, giving his horse over to a syce, walked beside the young of ficer s horse with his hand on its neck, Several fellows came up with greetings and congratulations. "Come straight to mess and have something to drink before you tell us anything, said the Colonel, taking hold of the horse s bridle as he spoke At the same moment he felt it slacken within h's graap, and looking up h aaw that Billy was reeling in his aad. die, and that his lips were bloodless. "II think I'm done," he muttered feebly and fell sideways off his horse into the Colonel's arms. They carried him over to the mess and began to take off his military great-coat. Then something madehng open his eyes, and his face took a lit tle brave distorted smile. "Hold hard! hegasped; "Ithink I've got a bullet somewhere, and and my arm's smashed." "Why, damn it!" groaned the Colo nel, laying him genii uOWft, and look ing round upon the circle of horror striken faces, "he knew this, and he has sent away the doctor!" It was some weeks before Major llamerton was able to tell the story of Lieutenant Thompson's heroic con duct how when he himself was wounded and at the mercy of the murderers, the young officer defended him single-handed; how afterward he pushed en into Khunaz and brought out James of the Police more dead than alive, and how finally, while con cealing the fact that he had been shot in the right arm, he rode forty miles in to get the doctor and thus for the second time saved the Major's life. It was longer still though before Billy was out of danger. The wound had Bet up inflammation and fever from over-exertion and the long time that had of necessity elapsed before skilled care could be bestowed upon it, and for weeks it was feared it would go hard with Billy. But in the end the "harum-scarum young devil" got well, and the Colonel had the pleasure of sending up a "Confidental Report" of a very super ior kind, together with a brilliant pen dant, which has resulted in the be stowal of tho much-coveted Victoria Cross upon Lieutenant William Thompson, of Ours. Vanity Fair. A DEADLY PILGRIMAGE. Heartrending; Accounts of a Pil grimage to Mecca. An Indian journal lays that of all the pilgrims leaving Bombay for Mecca and Medina more than a third never return. Out of 04,038 pilgrims who left in the six years ending 1890, 22,- 44U were missing. In 1888, of 13,- 070 who started, 7,Ut)5 did not re turn. The vast proportion of those missing owe their deaths to epidemics, starvation and, it is said, murder, between Jeddah and Mecca. "It is said, we know not with what truth, that gangs of bul mashes travel reg ularly by tho pilgrim steamers so as to select us their victims such pil grims as betray inn possession in means while on the voyage. ' On tho return voyage the deaths range from 200 to nearly 400 per 1000 per mi : i a if annum, mis is uue to privation before leaving Jeddah, to overcrowd ing and sickuuss on board, to insani tary ships and want of supervision, and to the age and infirmity of many of the pilgrims. Tho voyage to Jeddah is long, and the allowance of space between ducks is 9 superfical feet per adult, or 6 feet by 1 feet, so that if each pilgrim lay down, and the deck wore free from baggage, their would be just room, and no more, for tho passengers. Tho health officer of Bom bay, in his report for 1890, describes tho voyage of the pilgrim ship Deccan, on which cholera appeared on tho eighth day out from Bombay. Disease and starvation decimated the pass engers 113 perished in eighty-live days; and of 1240 passengers who set out on the voyagoonly 1113 returned. lho appearance of tho survivors when the vessel arrived at Bombay was heartrending. The physically strong had become feeble and tho passengers were, with comparatively ew exceptions, emaciated, fever- strickeu, scorbutic, and dropsical; and tho sufferings they had undergone at Camarnn were clearly and unmis takably depicited on I heir bodies," I rom tho Toronto Ulobe. A Past Captain's Eight. For a week or two after the boat races tlio humorous incidents of the occasion canio to the sur face. Hero is one by Capt. Allen, of the Yale' varsity eight of 1890. A former captain ol a Yalo crew, for fun and to whilo away the time, started out to find an eiht that could bo re lied upon to look liko the genuine thing. There is a cut about a rowing man, nnd more especially one who has been in 'varsity eights, that can not be imitated. So that the seeker aftei brawn and muscle found his work no light tank; nnd when he had succeeded in muling matera the prospective crew was found to Decom posed of past captaius of Yale ex clusively. So t here could be no mis taking either of them for a captain of a '"barKe" in tha wilds of Coventry or Phenix Centre. After borrowingelothes.so as to look as much luce a i ale crew so as possible, the past-captain crew shot up the river, the stroke calling each man in the boat by the name of the real Yale crew. When near tho Harvards quarter glasses were suddenly found to be levelled at the disturbers of the river's placidity, and in wonderinc tones those on the bank inquired of each other if that could possibly be the real 'varsity eight. But the game was soon up as the Harvards were on to tho herculean form of the coxswain. New London Day. HUDSON BAY It Is as Long as the First Cable Across tha Atlantic. Did you ever compare Hudson Bay with other and lesser bodies of water and land? If you never did, and will take the trouble to do so you can not help uttering exclamations of amazement when the immensity of this great inland ocean dawns upon your understanding. From Fury Strait on the north to the most southern indentation at the mouth of Abbitibbe River, it is exactly 1380 miles while the width from Button's Bay to the mouth of Whale River is but little under 700 miles. It is as long as the first Atlantio cable, and nearly as wide as the com bined lengths of Lake Huron, Erie and Ontario. It extends over 12 de grees of latitude, and covers not less than half a million square miles, in cluding more territory within the bor ders of Great Britain and Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Switcerland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Bel gium combined. It drains 8,000,000, square miles ot territory, receives rivers from the Rocky Mountains, Labrador, the Artie Regions, and some which have their source almost within the limits of the United State.
