"Well," said old General Cochrane, "when I'm gone you may write it for

the world if you like, little American. And what I'll do will be to find

the Sirdar, the very first instant I'm over the border, and say to him,

'I've known it was your work all along, sir, and however did you get it

across?'"

A month ago my cousin sent me some marked newspapers. General Cochrane

has gone over the border, and I make no doubt that before now he has

found the Sirdar and that the two sons and saviors of a beloved little

land on a little planet have talked over that moment, in the leisures

and simplicities of eternity, and have wondered perhaps that anyone

could wonder how he got it across.
