DAUGHTERS OF ISABELLA
STILL IN HERALD M. &
M. LABEL CONTEST
Several Active Workers Being
Absent From the City, Rumor
Was Started That This Or
ganization Had Given Up thq
Race.
>
Daughters of Isabella seemed very
much perturbed over a report that had
gained circulation in the city to the
effect that they had abandoned the
race for the SI,OOO prize offered by
The Herald in their M. & M. label con
test. The fact that several of the ac
tive workers were out of the city and
the organization was not making their
usual goed showing, seemed sufficient
to some to give credence to this re
port. However, the ladies of this or
ganization strenuously denied any in
tention of giving up the race for first
prize. On the contrary they stated
that they would redouble their efforts
and felt confident that they would he
abW to place their organization at the
very top of the list. They called upon
all of their members and friends to
assist them in this work and state
that even the smallest contributions of
labels and sale slips that are good for
votes in this contest will be greatly
appreciated.

THIS, yurai
Thomas F. Buxton, a well-known
citizen of Burke County was given
a preliminary hearing ttiis afternoon
tc ore Deputy V. S. Clerk C. J. Skin
ner, Jr., on the charge of embezzzling
the First National Bank of Waynes
boro, Ga-, of which he was cashies,
out of $7,000 of its funds. The de
fendant was bound over to tne next
session of the Federal Grand Jury at
Augusta and his bond was raised
from $5,000 to $7,500. His bondsmen
ore Messrs. Jno. W. Mears and Pres
ton B. Buxton, a borther of the ac
cused. both of Screven County.
The case is attracting a great deal
of attention from the fact that it
was charged at the time Mr. Bruxton
was arrested, July 3rd last, that the
accusation, which, it is said, was
made by the president of the bank,
Mr. Palmer L. Corker, grew out or a
political wrangle, in which Mr. Cor
ker and Mr. Buxton bitterly dis
agreed- The facts in the case, as
-represented at the time of arrest,
were that Mr. Corker accused Mr.
Buxton with misusing a large amount
of thg bank's funds and that upon
learning this, the latter resigned his
office as cashier and also as a result
of the charge knocked Mr. Corker
down in a fist fight.
There were a dozen or more wit
nesses in the city today for the hear
ing, which was held in the U. S.
court room In the Postofftce building,
among them being Assistant U. S.
District Attorney A. H. Codington, of
Macon; Mr. E. F- Higgins, of Mont
gomery, a national bank examiner;
Mr. Chas, Neville, of Savannah, an
expert accountant, who, it is learned,
w as engaged to examine the books of
the bank; President Corker and
Cashier J. C. Palmer, of the bank,
the latter having succeeded Br. Bux

judge of the city court and former
solicitor of the Augusta Circuit, local

O’DOWD MATTER IS
AGAIN IN COURT
The O’Dowd injunction matter,
which has been in the superior court
here since the latter part of June and
which has been continued several
times since, was brought up before
Judge Henry .Hammond this morning
and for the mest of all day his honor
sat and listened to extended testimony,
numerous affidavits being submitted
as well as photographs. Thirty or
forty witnesses, including the flood
commission, were present.
It seems that there is some diffi
culty in the average layman under
standing the status of the case at the
present time. It Is nevertheless the
same proceedings brought by the city
to have the O'Dowris enjoined from
taking possession of a certain portion
of their property on the river bank
which the C. & W. O. Railway Com
pany has already occupied under its
contract with the city, the C. &.W. C.
having given its land to the city fur
flood protection purposes—the levee.
In order for the O'Dowd property
that is In dispute to he condemned

(Continued yesterday)
They were both awake.
Suilup they stopped by a stream.
Bruce dismounted without having the
olephant kneel and went to the water
to fill his canteen. The hunter In him
became Interested In the tracks along
the banks. A tiger, a leopard, some
apes, and a herd of antelopo had been
down to drink during the night. Even
as he looked a huge gray apo came
bounding out, head on toward Rajah,
who despised these foolish beasts. Per
haps the old elephant missed All; per
haps he was still somewhat upset by
his failure to join his wild brothers
the night before; at any rate, without
warning, he sat off with that shuffling
gait which sometimes carried him as
swifUy as a horse. An olephant never
trots nor really runs according to our
conception of the term; he shuffles,
scarcely lifting his feet off the ground.
The mahout yelled and belabored the
elephant on the skull, ltajah did not
mind this beating at all. Whatever his
idea was, ho evidently proposed to see
It fulfilled. Cunningly he dashed un
der some branches, sweeping the mar
hout ofT his n<jck. Tho branches with
a crash as of musketry struck the how
dab, but It held, thanks to the stout
ness of the belly bands and the care
which they had been adjusted
round the huge barrel.
Bruce stood up, appalled. For a time
he was Incapable of movement. Short
as the time was, It was enough to
give Rajah such headway as he need
ed. He disappeared from sight. Bruce
saw the futility of shooting at the
beast. The only thing he could do was
to-mount up beside Kamabal and Pun
dits and give chase; and tilts he did
In short order, dragging up the bruised
and shaken mahout with him. The
pursuing elephant, with this extra
handicap, never brought. Rajah Into
sight. But the trail was clear, and
they followed.
Sorely that poor girl was marked
for misfortune. In all the six years
Bruce had possessed Rajah he had
never exhibited anything but docility.
The elephant was not running amuck,
though he might eventually work him
self into that blind, ungovernable rage.
Off like that, without the slightest
warning! If Kathlyn could only keep
him clear of the trees, for the old
rogue would do his best to scrape off
the irksome howdat.
Kathlyn heard the shouts from be
hind, but she could not understand
whether these were warnings or ad
vice. Could they overtake her before
she was flung off? She tried to re
call the “elephant talk" Ahmed had
taught her In the olu days at the farm,
but just now she was too dazed. At
the end of an hour all sounds from the
rear ceased; no more pistol shots to
encourage her with the knowledge that
friends were near. Hajuh must have
outstripped them two or three miles.
At length she cuine Into a small
clearing amid the tall jungle grass, a
dead and brittle last year’s growth.
She saw two natives In the act of kick
ing out a dung fire. Rajah headed di
rectly toward them, the fire evidently
being the line of path he had chosen.
This rare and unexpected freedom,
this opportunity to go whither he
listed, was as the giant fern he used to
eat in the days when he was free and
wild In Ceylon.
Kathlyn called out to the men, but
they turned and fled In terror. To thorn
Rajah was amuck. The elephant
passed the fire so closely that
of his passing stirred the tire Into life
again; and this time It crept toward
the highly Inflammable grass. A few
hundred yards beyond Kathlyn turned
to see the flames leaping along the
grass. Rajah, getting a whiff of the
acrid smoke, quickened his stride. The
Are followed with amazing rapidity
and stopped only when It reached the
bed of a trickling stream, no doubt a
torrent during the big rains. A great
pall of smoke blotted out everything In
the rear; blotted out hope, for Bruce
never oould pick up the trail now.
Kathlyn’s eyes were feverishly dry
and bright. It was only a matter of
time when the howdah would slip
down the brute's side. She prayed that
she might die instantly. Strange
fancies flitted through her mind, dis
ordered by all these days of suspense
and terror. . . .
And suddenly the jungle rime to sn
end, and a long plowed field opened
lq,to view. Reyond this field rose a
ruined wall, broken by a crumbling
gate, and lounging In the gateway
were soldiers. Near hy were two ele
phants employed In piling logs.
Rajah, perforce, slackened his gait.
The soldiers became animated. Imme
diately the two mahouts charged their
brutes toward Rajah, who stopped.
Us had had his sport. He “swayed to
and fro. One of the mahouts reached
forward and clouted Rajah on she
knee. He elowly kneeled. The sol
diers ran forward to help Kuthlyn out
of the howdah. At the sight of her
skin their astonishment was great.
She was very weak and faint, and

tier aofirng head! One of the soldfers
gave her a drink of water. He held
his canteen high, so that the water
trickled Into her mouth; no lips but
his own must touch tho nozzle, other
wise, being a Brahmin, he would bo
dollied. Natives Instantly flocked
about, jabberiug In wonder. Some of
the bolder touched her bare arms.
The soldiers drove them back angrily.
Through the press a horseman pushed
forward. The rider stared at the
strsngo captive, started, and uttered
an astonished cry.
"The white queen of Allaha, whom
mine own eyes saw crowned at the
Durbar there!” he murmured. “By tho
shroud of the prophet, what can this

mean? Stop!" he called to the sol
dlers. Kathlyn looked up dully.
“Convey her to his highness the ku
mor!" The prince should decido what
should be done with her.
The kumor was big and lazy and
sensual. Ho gazed upon Kathlyn with
eyes which sparkled evilly, like a cat's.
“Who is this woman?" he demanded.
“Highness, she is the white queen
of Allaha, but who may suy that she Is
hero?" with a smile as evil os bis
master's.
“Hut how came she here?”
The horseman briefly recounted tho
events as he hud seen them In the cap
ital of Allaha.
“Who are you, maiden?” the kumor
asked In English, for, like all poten
tates, little or
spoke English. It presented the de
lectable pastime of conspiring In two
languages; for from Bombay to Cal
cutta, from Peshawar to Madras, India
seethes, conspires, anil takes an occa
sional pot shot at some poor devil of
a commissioner whose only desire Is to
have them combine religion and sani
tation.
"I am an American. Please take me
to the English commissioner.” Home
how liißtinct told her that she might
not expect succor from this man with
the pearls about his gross neck.
"I regret that his excellency the
commissioner has gone to Bombay.
Besides, I do not know that you tell
the truth. Still, 1 can offer you what
pearls and emeralds you may find to
your liking."
“Your highness, there ere those
whose coming shortly will cause you
much annoyance If you refuse to give
inn proper aid There is no possible
way for you to cover up my appear
ance here. Send me to the commis
sioner’s bungulow, where 1 may await
the coflilng of my friends.”
"!mim-d!" The kumor saw here a
conflict not altogether to his liking.
I!e was lazy, and there was the damn
able, unrelenting hand of the British
raj looming In the distance. He
shrugged. "Achmet, call the captain
of the guard and have him convey this
runaway queen to Allaha. Hurely, I
may not meddle with the affairs of a
friendly state." With a wave of his
fat, bejeweled hand he appeared to dis
miss the matter from his mind.
Kathlyn was led away. The human
mind cun stand only so many shocks.
Outside the palace courtyard stood
Rajah, the howdah securely attached
once more. Kuthlyn was bidden to
mount. A water bottle and some cakes
were placed In the howdah beside her.
Then a drunken mahput mounted be
hind Rajah's oars. The elephant did
not like the feel of the rnan’e legs, and
be began to sway ominously. Never
theless, ho permitted the mahout to
direct him to one of the city gates, the
soldiers trooping alongside.
It appeared that there was a much
shorter route to Allaha. Time being
essential, [truce had had to make for
the frontier blindly, as it were. The
regular highway was a moderately do
cent road which led along the banks
of one of these streams which eventu
ally Join th* sacred Jumna. This, of
course, was also sacred. Many Hindus
were bathing In the ghats. They
passed by these and presently came
upon a funeral pyre.
Sometimes one sleeps with one’s
eye open, and thus It was with Kath
lyn. Out of that funeral pyre her
feverish thoughts builded a frightful
dream. . . .
The drunken mahout slid off Rajah;
the soldiers turned aside. Hlrod fe
male mourners were kneeling about,

walling and beating their breasts,
while behind them stood the high caste
widow, her face as tragic as Dido’s at
the pyre of Eneas. Suddenly she
threw up her arms high above hor
head.
“I am suttee!"
Suttee! It was against the law of
the British raj. The soldiers began
arguing with the widow, but only half
heartedly. It was a pious rite,
worthy of the high caste Hindu’s wife.
Better death on the pyre than a future
life like that, of a pariah dog. For a
wife who preferred to live after her
husband was gone was a social out
cast, permitted not to wed again, to
exist only as a drudge, a menial, the
scoff and contempt of all who had
known her In her days of prosperity.
The widow, having drunk from a oup
which contained opium, climbed to the
top of the pyre where her husband lay,
swathed In white. She gaxed about
wildly, and her courage and resolva
took wings. She stumbled down. A
low hissing ran about.
"Make the white woman snttee In
her place! ” cried the drunken mahout.
The cry wae taken up by tho specta
tors. Kathlyn felt herself dragged
from the elephant, bound, and finally
laid beside the swathed figure. Thera
could be no horror In the wide world
like It. Smoke began to curl up from
the underbrush. It choked and stifled
her. Sparks rose and dropped upon
her arms and face. And through the
smoke and flame came Rajah. He lifted
her with his powerful trunk and car
ried her off, for hours and houra, back
Into the trackless jungle. . .
Kathlyn found herself, all at once,
sitting against the roots of an aged
banyan tree. A few yards away an
ape sat on Ills haunches and eyed her
curiously. A little farther off Rajah
browsed In a clump of weeds, the how
dah at a rakish angle, like the cocked
hat of a bully. Kathlyn stared at her
hands. There were no burns there.
She passed a hand over her face;
there was no smart or sting. A dream:
she had dreamed it; a fantasy due to
her light headed state of mind. A
dream! She cried and laughed, and
the apo gibbered at her uneasily.
In reality, llajah, freed of his un
welcome mahout, had legged It. down
the road without so much as trumpet
ing his farewell, and the soldiers bad
not been ftle to stop him
How she managed to get down would
always remain a mystery to her. Food
and water, food and water; In her
present state she must have both or
die. Eat them send her bank to Alla
ha; she was beaten; she was without
tho will to resist, further. All she
wanted was food and water and sleep,
sleep. After that they might do what
they pleased with her.
For the first time since the extraor
dinary flight from Allaha Kathlyn
recollected the “elephant talk" which
Ahmed had taught her. She roee wear
ily and walked toward Rajah, who
cocked his ears at the Bound of her ap
proach. She talked to him for a space
In monotone. She held out her hands;
the dry, raspy trunk curled out to
ward them. Rajah was evidently wills
Ing to meet her half way. She orJ
dr-red him to kneel. Without even)
pausing to think it over Rajah benfl
his calloused knees, and gratefully!
Kathlyn crawled back Into the howJ
dah. Food and water: these appeared
at hand aa If by magic. So she at*
and drank. If she could hold RaJsJx
to a walk the howdah would laat at
least till she came to some village.
