lean task you have all thought she might any day perform did the set herself to it heart and soul; but Russia, as we know her, cannot do it. Consider the hundreds of miles of foodless country-altitude beyond altitude. I cannot describe the northern barriers of India; you must see them! Anyhow, Russia is a long way off, and she has to cross a tract in which a small army would be lost, crushed, blotted out; while a large army would starve without hope of succour."
"You are sanguine, then, of the security of- India?"
"Do you know, I am not ?" 'My interlocu- : for smiled; for he saw me evidently puzzled.. "India is a continent. Ona dörï not conquer continetiis except in very small pieces and during a waste of yours; but I am thinking, perhaps, that if we drift on with the eyes of" our look-out men always on one part of the horizon, we may some day lose a little bit."
"Are we coming to talk of the Persian Gulf, or something quite the other side?"
"Ah, yes," returned my companion, "some. thing quite the other side! You see,” he con....... tinued, " we always forget that there is another, Empire much nearer our own than the Rus sian, and moving nearer-slowly, perhaps, but more naturally than the Russians can. Moving, that is, not by the artifices of war, but by the necessary and natural growth of the race in numbers, in wealth, and consequently in im- portance. I am speaking, you see, of over populated China. So long, as that race lies with its members huddled together in sleep we may excuse ourselves, perhaps, for forgetting. But when the giant yawns and stretches its legs, which way will it kick? To the North, think you into the snow?”
But, surely, Cochin-China," I exclaimed, is an effectual bar!"
