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.

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.

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 again the city, it appears, must insti tute new condemnation proceedings, aH the new condemnation act has just been passed by the general assembly.

LWillet Seed Co. AUGUSTA. (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 the Increasing babel of tongues was Uko little triphammers begtlng upon The Adventures of Kathlyn Illustrated by Pictures from the Moving Picture Production of the Sellg Polyscope Co. 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 iSp*,* I Set Off With a Shuffling Galt. 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, By HAROLD MAC GRATH (Copyright by Harold KaoUroth) NINE 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. Eater, In the moonshine, ihe eapied the ruined portico of a temple. CHAPTER VI. The Tsmpls of ths Lien. In the blue of night the temple looked as though It had been sculp tured out of mist. Here and there the heavy dews, touched by the moon lances, flung back flames of sapphire, cold and sharp. To Kathlyn the tem ple was of marvelous beauty. She urged Rajah toward tho crumbling portico. It was a temple In ruins, like many In Hind Broken pillars, exquisitely carved, lay about, and some of ths tall windows of marble lace were punctur ed, as If the fist of some angry god had beaten through. Under the de cayed portico stood an iron brasler. Near this reposed a cracked stone sarcophagus: sn unusual sight la this part of the world. It was without Its lid BuJ one god now brooded here abouts—Silence Not a sound any where, not even from the nearby trees. She saw a noiseless lizard slide Jerkily across a patch of moonshine and dissolve Into ths purple shadow beyond. _ _ (To Be Continued Tomorrow) IN THE NIQH BOR HOOD.
