MONDAY, AUGUST 3. ' (Continued from Yesterday.) The three approached the elephant. A bit of gymnastics and one of them was boosted to the back of the ele phant, to whom this episode was more or less familiar. Another followed; the third was pulled up. and from the elephant's back they made the top of the wall and disappeared down into the street. Here they paused cautious ly, for two guards always patroled the front of the compound during the night. Presntly the three truants stole away toward the bazaars, which in this desert town occupied but a single street. Pown they went into a cellar way and the guru’s curse stalked be side them. For opium is the hand maiden of all curses. Perhaps twenty minutes later slight bounds came from the front of the compound wall. A rifle barrel clat tered upon the cobbles. Then, over the wall, near the elephant, a head ap peared, then a body. This was repeat ed four times, and four light-fqoted nomads of the desert lowered them selves into the compound. They ran quickly to the gate and noiselessly un barred it. Outside were five more des ert nomads, gathered about the insen sible bodies of the sentries. These nine men were the dancers who had entered the town in advance of Kathlyn. For weeks they had lain in wait for this moment. They had spied upon the three low caste keepers and upon learning of their nocturnal junkets into the opium den had cast the die this night. With the utmost caution they ap proached the sacred elephant, took off his chains and led him from the com pound. Immediately six of the maraud ers trotted far ahead toward the gate they knew to be the least guarded. The sacred elephant, passing through the streets, attended by three men, aroused no suspicions in any strag gler who saw. So remote was the wall city, so seemingly Impregnable, and so little interfered with that it was only human that its guardians should eventually grow careless. When the keepers, staggering under 'the fumes of the drug, returned near dgvtjreak. first to find the gate open, . second to find their sacred charge gone, they fled in terror; for it would be death, lingering and painful, for them to stay and explain how and why they had left their post. The wild and lawless brigands knew exactly what they were about. There were several agents of European and American circuses after this white ele phant; and as it could not be pur chased there was no reason why it could not be stolen. When the Brahmin arrived at sun irise to find his vocation gone he set up a wailing which awakened the household. The khan was furious and ordered a general search. He vowed death to the foul hands which had done this sacrilege! Kathlyn and the others were genu inely sorry when the khan announced what had taken place. ! Said he: “Come, you are all skilled hunters. Find me my elephant and these guns and newer and surer ones shall protect you from Durga Ram, should he take it into his head to come this way.” The colonel, Bruce and Ramabai set out at once. After they had gone a camel rider entered the compound and sought an audience with Bala Khan. Kathlyn and Pundita were in the com pound at the time and the former was greatly interested in the saddle bags, •Cached to one of which was a binocu lar case. Kathlyn could not resist the Inclination to open this case. It con tained an exceptionally fine pair of glasses, such as were used in that day in the British army. No doubt they were a part of some loot. Suddenly an idea came to her. She asked permission (through Pundita) to Tide the camel outside the town. After some argument the servant in charge consented. Upon a knoll outside the city—a hillock of sand three or four hundred feet In height—Kathlyn tried the glasses. From this promontory she had range of something like fifteen to twenty miles. Back and forth her gaze roved and suddenly paused. CHAPTER XII. Captured by Brigands. When Kathlyn returned to the com pound It was with the news that she had discovered a group of men, some twelve or fifteen miles to the west. They had paused at what appeared to be a well, and with them was the sa cred white elephant Bala Khan was for giving orders at once to set out with his racing camels to catch and crucify every mother's son of them on the city walls. But Ramabai Inter posed. "As I came toward the compound I was given a message. The man who gave It to me was gone before I could get a good look at bis face. These men who stole the sacred white ele phant are brave and desperate. At the first sign of pursuit they promise to Jclll the elephant.” The Adventures of Kathlyn By HAROLD MAC GRATH Illustrated by Pictures from the Moving Picture Production of tbe Selig Polyscope Co, "And by the beard of the prophet,” cried Bala Khan, his face purpling with passion, "these men of the desert keep their promises. And so do I. 1 promise later to nail each one of them to the walls to die hanging to nails!” 'But just now,” said Ramabai quiet ly, "the main thing is to rescue the elephant, and I have a plan.” “Let me hear it.” "From what you told me last night,” went on Ramabai, "those nomads or brigands are opium fiends.” Bala Khan nodded. “Bruce Sahib here and I will under take to carry them doctored opium. I know something about the drug. I be lieve that we saw the thieves last eve ning as we caqie through the streets. My plan is this: we will take five rac ing camels, go north and turn, making the well from the west. That will not look like pursuit.” “But five camels?” Bala Khan was curious. “Yes. In order to allay the suspi cions of the brigands. Kathlyn Memsa hib and my wife must accompany us." The colonel objected, but Kathlyn overruled his objections. “But, Kit, they will recognize us. They will not have forgotten me. They will know that we have come from the town, despite the fact that to all ap pearances we come from the west.” Bruce also shook his head. “It doesn't look good, Ramabai. Why not we three men?" “They would be suspicious at once. They would reason, if they saw Kath lyn Memsahib and my wife with us that we were harmless. Will you trust me ?” "Anywhere," said the colonel. “But they will simply make us prisoners along with the elephant.” "Ah, but the Colonel Sahib forgets the opium.” Ramabai laid his hand upon the colonel’s arm. “Let them make prisoners of us. The very first thing they will do will be to search the saddle bags. They will find the opium. In a quarter of an hour they will be as dead and we can return.” “It is a good plan,” said Bala Khan, when tbe conversation was fully trans lated to him. “And once the elephant is back in the compound I'll send a dozen men back for the rogues. Ah! they will play with me; they will steal into my town, overcome my guards, take the apple of my eye! Ramabai, thou are a friend indeed. Haste and Allah fend for thee! Umballa may ar rive with an army, but he shall not enter my gates.” Guided by a servant, Rruce and Ra mabai set off for the opium den. The proprietor understood exactly what they desired. There were times when men entered his place who were in need of a long sleep, having money tucked away in their fantastic cum merbunds. So, mounted upon five swift camels, the party started off on a wide circle. Whether they caught the brigands at the well or on the way to their moun tain homes was of no great importance. Kamabai was quite certain that the result would be the same. The colonel grumbled a good deal. Suppose the rascals did not smoke; what then?” “They will smoke,” declared Rama bai, confidently. “The old rascal of whom we bought the opium has enter tained them more than once. They are too poor to own pipes. Have pa tience, Colonel Sahib. A good deal de pends upon the success of our adven ture this morning. If I know anything about Umballa, he will shortly be on the march. Bala Khan has given his word.” Had It not been for liberal use of opium the night before, the brigands would not have tarried so long at the well; but they were terribly thirsty, a bit nerve-shattered and craved for the drug. The chief alone had fully recovered. He cursed and raved at his men, kicked and beat them. What! After all these weeks of waiting, to let sleep stand between them and thou sands of rupees? Dogs! Pigs! Did they not recollect that Bala Khan had a way of nailing thieves outside the walls of his city? Well, he for one would not wait. He would mount the sacred elephant and head toward the caves In the hills. Det them who would decorate the walls of Bala Khan. The threat of Bala Khan put life Into the eight followers, and they were getting ready to move on ‘when one of them discovered a small carar van approaching from the west. Camels? Ha! Here was a chance of leaving Bala Khan's city far In the rear. And there would be loot besides. Those helmets were never worn by any save white men. The chief scowled under his shading palm. Women! O, this was going to be something worth while. When the caravan came within hail ing distance the chief of the brigands stepped forward menacingly. The new arrivals were Informed they were prisoners, and were bidden to dis mount at once. "But we are on the way to the city of Bala Khan," remonstrated Kama bal. "Which you left this morning!” leered the chiefs "Dismount!” __ (Copjligb; by Harold MscGrMh) “But T am selling opium there!" “Opium!” “Where is it? Give it to us!” cried one of the brigands. The chief thought quickly. If his men would smoke they should suffer the penalty of being left at the well to await the arrival of the tender Bala Khan. The white elephant was worth 10,000 rupees. He might not be obliged to share these bags of silver. His men could not complain. They had dis charged him. Let them have the pipes. He himself would only pretend to smoke. But the first, whiff of the fumes was too much for his will power. He sucked in the Bmoke. down to the bot tom of his very soul, and suddenly found peace. The superdrug with which the poppy had been mixed was unknown to Ramabai, but he had often witnessed tests of its potency. It worked with the rapidity of viper venom. Within ten minutes after the first inhalation the nine brigands sank back upon the sand, as nearly dead as any man might care to be. At once the elephant was liberated, and the party made oft toward the town. Colonel Hare, suspicious of everything these days, marveled over the simplicity of the trick and the smoothness with which it had been turned. He began to have hope for the future. Perhaps this time they were really going to escape from this land accursed. There was great pow-wowing and salaaming at the gate as the sacred white elephant loomed Into sight. The old Brahmin who had charge of him wept for joy. He was still a person age, respected, salaamed to, despite the preponderance of Mohammedans. His sacred elephant! Bala Khan was joyous. Here was the sacred elephant once more in the compound, and not a piece out of his treasure chest. He was in luck. In the midst of his self-congratulations came the alarming news that a large body of men were seen approaching across the desert from the direction of Allaha. Bala Khan, his chiefs and his guests climbed to the top of the wall and beheld the spectacle in truth. It required but a single look through the binoculars to discover to whom this host belonged. “Umballa!” said Ramabai. “Ah! Durga Ram, to pay his re spects.” Bala Khan rubbed his hands together. It had been many moons since he had used a tulwar. The colonel examined his revolver, coldly. The moment Umballa came within range the colonel intended to shoot. This matter was going to be settled definitely, here and now. So long as Umballa lived, a dread men ace hung above Kathlyn's head. So, then, Umballa must die. Bala Khan was for beginning the warfare at once, but Bruce argued him out of this. Det them first learn what Umhalla Intended to do. There might be no need of shedding blood. "You white people must always talk,” grumbled the khan, who was a fighting man, born of a race of fight ers yet to bow the head to the yoke. "It is better to kill and talk after ward. I have given my word to pro tect you, and the word of Bala Khan Is as sound as British gold." “For that,” said Bruce, "thanks." “Keep your men from the walls,” cried Kathlyn, "and bring me the white elephant I would deal with this man Umballa.” Her request was granted. So when Durga Ram and his soldiers arrived before the closed gates they beheld Kathlyn mounted on the white ele phant, alone. "What wish you here. Durga Ram?" she called down to the man on tha richly caparisoned war elephant. “You! Your father and those who have helped you to escape.” "Indeed! Well, come and take us.” “I would speak with Bala Khan,” Im periously. "You will deal with me alone,” de clared Kathlyn. I'mballa reached for his rifle, but a loud murmur from his men stayed his Impulse.” “It Is the sacred white elephant, highness. None dare fire at that,” his captain warned him. "Those with him or upon him are In sanctity.” "Tell Bala Khan,” said Umhalla, controlling his rage as best he could, “tell Bala Khan that I would be his friend, not his enemy.” “Bala Khan,” boomed a voice from the other side of the wall, "care* not for your friendship. Whatever the memsahlb says Is my word. What! Does Allaha want war for the sake of gratifying Durga Ram'a spite? Be gone. and thank your evil gods that I am not already at your lying, treach erous throat. Take yourself off, Durga Ram. The people of Bala Khan do not make war on women and old men. The memsahlb and her friends are under my protection.” "I will buy them!" shouted T'mballn, recollecting the greed of Bala Khan. "My word Is not for sale!” came back. (To Be GiultnueJ Tomorrow.) THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA. Hardwick Invites Slaton to Divide Time With Him On Night Aug. 16th in Atlanta Atlanta, Ga.—Mr Slaton’s last card is too weak to merit any extended re ply from me, as I have already shown his so-called “facts" are either mis representations or distortions of fact. 1 have already answered him explic itly and accurately about each and every one of these matters and he cer tainly adds nothing to the strength of his contentions by simply restating them. Such a method of disputation is hardly up to the standard that might bo expected of a would-be sen ator. It rather reminds ono of the childish performance of saying and re peating “it is” on the one side and “it is not”on the other, on the idea that repetition will take the place of proof. The only real issue of any conse quence that Mr. Slaton ever sought to raise with me, was on the parcels post. 1 have made my position on that matter perfectly plain, though men and newspapers who know better con tinue to misrepresent it. I will stand Cotton Loss Prevention Planned Senator Hoke Smith Issues Call for Meeting of Southern ers. Harvie Jordan Also De sires September Massmeet ing. Washington, D. C. —Southern senators and representatives will confer tonight to devise some plan to prevent loss to producers of cotton as a result of the European crisis. Senator Hoke Smith today Issued a call for the meeting. it Is Imped some method may he work ed out to prevent rushing cotton to mar ket when the price is certain to he de pressed. One suggestion Is that the federal government or the slates might advance sufficient funds to the producers to provide for storing the crop). Issues Cal). Atlanta, Ga.—Harvie Jordan of this city, president of the Southern Cotton Association today telegraphed represen tatives of the association throughout the states In the cotton belt, suggesting the necessly for a mass meeting of farmers, merchants, hankers, manufacturers aud all other allied interests of the cotton trade to be held in New Orleans early in September. The purpose of the confer ence would be to formulate and adopt such measures as might be considered necessary to protect the price of cotton from the depressing Influence of a pro tracted European war. President Jor dan said that he believed this slop nec essary to Southern cotton Interests. Cotton Men in Augusta Anxious Senator Hoke Smith Wired To day by the Cotton Exchange to Urge Upon Administration Necessity of Quick Action by Government. Take Care of Farmers’ Cotton. In view of the present serious sit uation in the cotton market, brougt on by the European war, the Augusta < otton Exchange ami Board 0 : Tra-le this morning wired Senator Hoke Smith In Washington, asking him "in trie name of the cotton producers of tne entire South to Imprest the ad ministration with the distressing re sults that will follow unless the gov ernment acts quickly." “With the new crop about to move, with foreign exchange unsalable, with murine risks prohibitive, with Hhe great searclty of neutral ships,'' adds tne telegram, "glut and accu mulation will take place in the South, and in addition to your efforts to fur nigh more neutral ships unless the United states government Adopts some form of loans to the farmers at some price, bankruptcy would result. Why can’t the government arrange with local bankH through the South to take car* of cotton with some price like 7 cents with proper warehouse receipts attached Since the proc uration following Ihe Civil War we have never known any situation so directly affecting the Interest of the South and the whole country." The wire is signed by the Augusta Cotton Exchange, Warren Walker, president. A copy of the telegram has been sent by the Augusta Exchange to all the other cotton exchanges through out the country, with the suggestion that each of them take the Important question up at one., with Its sena tors. A meeting of the Cotton Ex change was held today at Which the above action unanimously tak< n. N. Y. COTTONSEED OIL EXCHANGE IS CLOSED New York. The cottonseed oil ex change did not open today. Hun!mom may be resumed tomorrow, though the exchange may rermln dosed longer If It Is deemed wise. for tbe present parcel post system just as it stands today, but 1 am unalter ably opposed to any change from the present system of fixing the postage on a parcel according to the distance it travel, or to increase the present weight limit on parcels. Where does Mr. Slaton stand- on these matters? Does he favor zone system of charging postage according to distance or the flat rate? Docs he favor an increase in the weight limit? If so to what point? Let him for once in his life even if it does break the record of a life-time Quit dodging nnd side-stepping, habiting nnd balk ing and answer explicitly nnd fully the seven plain questions I asked him in my card of July 19, 1914. If I cannot force him to do this in a newspaper debate, and it does seem impossible, I will undertake to do it on the night of August 10, when I expect to apeak in Atlanta and to invite him to divide time with me here, in his own home. THOS \V .HARDWICK. Envoy of Germany Remains Paris—The German ambassador still was at his post in Paris today and there was no indication of his inten tion to leave. Throughout tho night aeroplanes had flown hither anil thither over the city watching the horizon toward the eastern frontier while searchlights swept the skies and made it almost impossible for any hostile air craft to approach undiscovered. The streets today presented a de serted aspect. All the motor omni buses and most of the taxicabs had disappeared, having been requisition ed by the army, while a large propor tion of the men had gone to join their regiments. Special Trains. Special trains have been reserved by the authorities for the transportation to Paris of foodstuffs, particularly milk. A decree was Issued threaten ing with severe measures anyone at tempting to raise the prices of food. In the neighborhood of the Amer ican embassy crowds of Americans gathered seewing passports or identifi cation papers. The ambassador gave each of them a certificate bearing a large red sea| declaring that the bear er was an American citizen and giving his home address and profession. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET Chicago, Ills. Despite war nows wheat prices today tended downward. Absence of (mediate foreign demand was largely responsible. The opening, 3-4 down to 3-8 up, was followed by a. general set back of 1 to 1 5-8 and then by a tally which was In some easoa complete. Porn traders paid hut little attention to war news.

HOW RESINOL CURED ITCHING SKIN TORMENT Baltimore, Md., Mav 23, 1914: “My limbs from knee to ankle were complete ly covered with eczema for a year. It commenced with several small water pimples, which hurst when I scratched them, until they developed Into sores, and ooaed a yellowish fluid. I hated to go in company, it Itched and burned so badly. I had no rest at night. I tried a good many remedies for e* zema, both liquid and salve, but they did rne no good, only made the skin more rough and scaly. I learned of itesinol Oolntment and Hcslnol Koap and tried them, and was relieved of the severe Itching and burning AT ONCE, and after a month s steady use was completely cured." (Hlgn ed; T. H.
