you how splendidly good people die.
As our train glided into the dimly light-
ed station I asked the guard, "Is this
Lucknow?" and he answered, “Luck-
now," at the pronunciation of which
proper name strong emotions rushed
through body, mind and soul.
The Siege of Lucknow.
The word is a synonym ct suflerlng, of
cruelty, of heroism. of honor such as is
suggested by hardly any other word We
have for 85 yean been reading of the ego-
nissthere endured and the daring deeds
there witnessed. it was my great desire
to have some one who had witneescd the
scenes transacted in Lucknow in 1857 con-
duct ne over the place. We found just the
man. He was a young soldier at the time
the greatest mutiny of the ages broke out,
‘ and he was put with others inside the
residency,whlch was a cluster of buildings
making a fortress in which the represelitly
tives of the English government lived,
and which was to be the scene of an en-
durance and a bombardment the story of
which poetry and painting and history
and secular and sacred eloquence have
been trying to depict. Uur escort not only
had a good memory of what had happen-
ed, but had talent enough to rehearse the
y.
In the early part of 1557 all over India
the natives were ready to break out in re-
bellion against all foreigners and ”special-
. ly against the civil and military represent
ntlvrwof the English government.
A. half dozen causes are mentioned for
the feeling of discontent and insurrection
that was evidenced throughout ludia. The
most of these causal were mere pretexts.
Greased cartridges were no doubt all er-
asperation. The grease ordered by the
English government to be used on those
cartridges was taken from mws and pigs,
and grease to tho llindoos is unclean, and
to bite these cartridges at the loading of
the guns would be an offense to tho Illn-
doo's religion. The leaders of the liindons
said that these grimsed cariridgmi were
only part of an attempt by the English
government to make the, natives give up
their ligion. Hence unbounded indig-
natio as amused.
' The Native Discontent.
Aunt cr- cause of the mutiny was that
another large province of India had been
annexed to the llritish empire, and thou
sands of officials in the employ of the king
of that province were thrown out of pom-
tlon, and they were all ready for trouble
Inlklng.
Another cause was said to he the bad
government exercised by some English
officials in India.
The simple fact was that the natives of
India were a conquered race, and the
English were the conquerors. For 100
years the British scepter had been waved
over India. and the Indians wanted to
break that scepter. There never iiad_been
any love or sympathy between the natives
of India and the Europeans. There is
none now.
Before the time of the great mutiny the
English government risked much power
in the hands of the natives. Too Illhfly.l)f
them manned tho forts. Too many of
them were in governmental employ. And
now the time had come for a wide out-
break. The natives had persuaded them-
selves that they could send the English
government flying, and to aemmplish it
dagger and sword and firearms and muti-
lation and slaughter must do their worst.
It was evident in Lucknow that the na-
tives were about to rise and put to death
all the Europeans they could lay their
hands on, and into the residency the
Christian population of Lucknow hasten-
ed for defense from the tigers in human
form which were growling for their vic-
tims. The occupants of the residency, ore
fort, were—military and noncmubatanis,
men, women and children-in number
about 1,692.
I suggest in one sentence some of the
chief woes to which they were subjected
when I say that these people were in the
residency five months without a single
change of clothing. some of the time the
heat at l20 and lilo degrees; the place
black with files and all a-sqnirm with we
min; firing of the enemy ripen them ceas-
ing neither day our night; the hospital

;vy, cholera adding their work to that of
' shot and shell; women brought up in all
. comfort and never having known want
crowded and sacrificed in a collar where
nine children were born; less and less
food; no water except that which was
‘ . brought from a well under the enemy's
. fire, so that the water obtained was at the
of blood; the stench of the dead
adding to tho elliuvia of oorpses,and
all waiting for the moment when the
army of one» shrieking liindoo devils
should break in upon the garrison of the
residency, now reduced by wounds and
alcknas and death to 97} men, women
and children.

"Them." said our escort, “Bob the
Salli-r did the work."
“ Who was liob the Sailor?”
"Uh. ho was the African who sat at
that point, and when any one of our men
ventured across the road he would drop
him with a rifle boll. Bob was a euro
marksman. The only way to get across
the road for water from the well was to
wait until his gun flushed and then in-
stantly cross before he had time to load.
The only way we could get rid of him
was by digging a mine under the house
where he was hidden. When the house
was blown up. Bob the Nailer went with
it."
I said to him, “Had you made up your
minds what you and the other sufferers
would do in case the fiends actually broke
in?"
“Oh, yes!" said my meort. “We had
it all planned, for the probability was
every hour for nearly five months that
they would break in. You must remem-
ber it was l,il00 against 60,000, and for
the latter part of the time it was 900
against 50.000. and the residency alul the
earthworks around it were not put up for
such an attack. It was only from the
mercy of God that we were not massacred
sonn after the beelogement. We were re-
solved not to allow ourselves to get into
the hands of those desperadoes. You must
remember that we and all the women had
heard of the hatchery at Cawnpur, and
we know what defeat meant. lf unable
to hold out any longer, we would haVo
blown ourselves up and all gone out of
life together. "
An Awful Prison.
"Show me," i said, "the rooms where
the women and children staid during
those awful months."
Then we caused over and went down
into the collar of the residency. With a
shudder of horror indescribable I entered
the cellars where 689 women and children
had been crowded until the whole floor
was full. I know the exact number, for
I counted their names on the roll. As
one of the ladies wrote in her-diary, speak-
ing of those women. she said, “They lay
upon the floor fitting into each other like
bits in a puzzle." Wives had obtained
from their husbands the promise that the
husbands would shoot them rather than
let them fall into the hands of these des-
‘persdoes. The women within the resi-
dency were kept on the smallest allow-
ance that would maintain life. No oppor-
tunity of privacy. The death angel and
the birthrangcl touched wings as they
passed. Flies, mosquitoes, vermin in full
possession of the place, and these women

Inked our friend If he thought that
the world famous story of e Scotch less in
her delirium hearing the Scotch bagpipes
advancing with the Scotch regiment was
atrue story. He said he did not know
but that it we's true. Without this man's
telling me I knew from my own observar
tion that delirium sometimes quickens
some of the faculties, and I rather think
the. Scotch lass in her delirium was the
first to hear the bagplpca l decline to be-
lieve that class of people who would like
to kill all the poetry of the World and
banish all the fine sentiment. They tell
us that Whittier‘s poem about Barbara
Freiichio was founded on a delusion, and
that Longfellow's poems lmmortallwd
things that never occurmd. The Scotch
lass did hear the slogan. I almost heard it
myself as I stood inside the residency while

The Grave of llavelock.
On the following day. about four miles
from the residency, I visited the grave of
Hevelock. The scenes of hardship and
self sacrifice through which he had passed
were too much for mortal endurance, and
afaw days after liavelock left the resi-
’ dency which he had relieved he lay in a
tent dying, while his son. when I saw in

the old here the consoletory Scriptures.

Ilavelock‘s Immortal hula.
A plain monument marks Havelo‘ck's
grave, but the epitaph is as beautiful and
comprehensive as anything I have ever
seen, and l copied it then and there, and
it is as follows:
