THE COURIER.
"Whin will you begin?" Ibo officer
asked disinterestedly. ''Immediately
after we get him," said Edwprds swal-
owing some mora of the wine. "I will
do it through Amlah an J by mail. I
ran hanj around the Colonel and gov
ernor and see my own letters come in."
He smiled at what ha considered a
joke, and J elapsed into silence.
How much you goirg to make them
hand over?" went on Ilopeford.
'Fifty thousand dollars ten thous
and pounds."
Edwards went into a drowsy Ftate
aain, and only oacasionally a muttered
word wan heard by the officer.
'Ah!" exclaimed the colonel at the
head of the table. "I sje. You re
member four ycarB ago, it was
rumored that Prince Alar Julh
had CEcapcd and the report
denied. This is the way of it. Colonel
Benson was at the foit guarding tho
Prince at that time. Uno hot nignt in
the midst of a terrible thunder storm,
the guard came running in shouting
that Alar Julh was gone; and sure
enough when they looked, he was gone."
"Well, they searched the town and
villages, of course, but diecorered noth
ing and had grown hopeless, when cno
day Colonel Benson got a letter offering
to return tho prisoner for tsn thousand
pounds as this gentlemen says. This
brought about a renewed search after
the Prince, after the man making the
offer, and after the messenger even, but
not a clue to any one of the three was
discovered."
"So It finally resulted that tho prison
er was returned according to the condi
tions, and soon the matter was forgot
ten. One diy, however, tha colonel re
cejved a no'.e enclosing a draft for ten
thousand pounds. The writer stated
that he had removed the prisoner in
order to force a loan of fifty thousand
dollars which he needed badly. He had
finished with it by that time and re
turned it with interett at ssven per
cent, exact to a penny.
"Now, gentlemen of tho niese, that was
the height of nerve. You see tbe man
who d'd that at tho table side by side
with you. At first I was going to sug
gest kicking him out the dcor like a
dog. But 6icce I think it over I find I
admire this incarnation of nerve. And,
then his methods were the methods of a
gentleman, though coercion was used
perhaps; and a little worry and incon
venience caused Co'.onel Benson."
ul say, let him stay. Wo need never
refer to it, and of the win9 of Dhassi, let
us never spsak."
Let him stay," said the mss as one
man.
