It was a low oblong shed they sat in, with a wide door opening on a side street within four hundred yards of Yasmint's palace gate. The back wall was a mere partition of mud brick, behind which, under a thatched roof, were tethered some of the maha- rajah’s elephants. There were two windows in the wall, through which one could see dimly the great brutes’ rumps. The smell came through a broken pune, and every once in u while the Blalnes’ horse squealed at it indignantly, but Tom's horse dozed, being used to elephants. * Dick got up once or twice to ‘per through the window at the brutes, * “Are they tethered fore or aft?’” he lered. of- argu- round and breaking down this rotten wall?" “Nothing—oxcept thal they're «lo- Phants, They could break thelr picket chains {f they were minded to, same as I could break Gungadhura's head and lose my job; But I won't do it, por will they.

Such a navy. the Secretary said, #hould and could be maintained within the provisions of the Naval Limitation Treaty. He added that wthough the present naval estab jishment was deficient in certain types, such as faat cruisers, air- eraft cruisers, seagoing sub- marines and aircraft, he would make no immediate recommenda- flop for additional appropriations because of the present financial condition of the country.
