SEQUEL TO RUDYARD KIPLING ' S THE BALLAD OP EAST AND WEST Carol Chambers HE Days and nights slipped quickly by The- Guides were in despair. Their plans had reached the Border Thieves They knew not how or where. Till late one night—when moon shone bright. And stars winked at their play.

Whore lurked the hunted prey; Those plans, so cautiously pursued, Meant death to England ' s Guides] The triumph of the Border Thieves Upon this mission rides.
