THE story of Sadon, which rhymes with atone, is the story of a subaltern going berserk, and when that subaltern has reached the rank of Lieutenant-General, and has joined the ranks of those with tired feet, to use the Persian metaphor, it is perhaps permissible to tell it. In the beginning of the year 1892 I was the junior subaltern with an Indian mountain battery at the frontier station of Loralai, in the province of British Baluchistan, as wild a mountain station in the Suliman hills or the mountains of Solomon as any frontier soldier could desire. Sixty miles of Sixty miles of mountain passes from the railway line the line to Quetta up the Hurnai gorges, through VOL. CCXXII.-NO. MCCCXLV. I. which I had marched to join my battery-stood the cluster of mud huts which formed the cantonment. I had come a long way to get there, was thrilled with the mountains, the tribesmen, and the hard-bitten frontier troops, when an order came transferring me to another battery to fill a death vacancy, many hundred miles away on the other frontier, the Chinese border of Upper Burma. There was nothing to be done save pack up and go, and so, with my chestnut Arab charger, my Indian groom and bearer, and my subaltern's whatnots on shaggy frontier camels, I started down through the passes, this time deep in snow, for the railway.
