He would not probably have dared to go thus to the MußJid by himself after dark were it not that there was brilliant moonlight nearly fill night, whioh made tho whole country nearly as light as day. Aoaordingly, next evening, a little before sunset, the Jemedar, taking with him his blankets and a little food and water, entered the Musjid, and took up his abode for the night. It was a gloomy place enough, and the bats were already flying about in a rather ghostly and suggestive manner. However, there was no help for it now, and there was an old ruined gate-way behind which he could crouch, and from whioh he could see the whole length of the sentry's .beat. For the present he would sit down and eat his supper, and make himaelf as comfortable as possible. While he was eating and drinking he heard the picket arrive, and listened to the Naik give the first sentry his orders, after which the Naik and the rest of the picket retired to a small guard room, where they took up their quarters for the night, and then no sound was heard, save the steady tramp, tramp of the sentry as ho paced up and down outside the Musjid. The little Jemedar felt quite elated as he listened. He was so delighted (and it must be owned surprised) with himeelf for not being more afraid that he could have laughed aloud. Here he was alone at uight in the haunted Musjid, and felt as happy as though he were iv hi? own house. This was the result of education. Not one of those great, b'g fools of Sepoys daw be where he was now, strong and brave though they were iv the fight. They all have too great a fear of Shaitan. Of Shaitan. Poob, pooh ! And the little Jemedar, with a grin of content that made him look uglier that ever, lay down on his blanket, spread his handkerchief over his face, and prepared to wait patient ly for midnight, when it would be Khuda Bux's turn to go on sentry, and he should see — what he should see. He woke up with a start aftor some time, not knowing in the least how long he had beon asleep, and vexed to find he had been to sleop at all.
