Provious to his snecession to the Rajrh- shin ho had been’ tho pupil of one Samer purl, a celebrated fakir, who taught hin the art of imitating death, Phul dived for sonte years the Ilfe of an exemplary vas- salof the British authorities, taking care to be on good terms with all Kajahs mightier than he, and with those whose possessions were not worth fighting for; but, in other respects, like an ‘excellent business-man, tosing no opportunity to improve. lls finan- einl condition. At lust he came to the con- clusion that he would not pay tribute, and, ag the Governorof Pungaub wis a little pune tillous on that polnt, Phi was arrested and incarcerated, tiaving ho confidence in the Justice of hig cause, he died very suddenly; and hls people in grand procession came chunorlug for jis body, that they night Turn It necording. to the ritual of their re- religion. As it was lmpracticable to sell the body, and not worth the trouble to keep It, the remalns of thadefunct Rajah‘were deliy- ered {o Rajji Bali, his wife, who carried it back to Puttiail. Now, ItajJi Ball was a woman of penetra- tion, and knew thas Phul bad once been a pool of Samerpurl, the most famous fakir in Punjab. Knowing alsu that her husband was by no means lncking In finesse, and must have [earned the art of feigning death from its celebrated muster, she suspected a triek on tho authorities In this sudden demise of a Rajah afileted with no hereditary predis- position...
