The palanquin waa Hastily carried
nut of alght
At the end of the paa»age or street
nearent the town wne a gate which
waa seldom closed. Through this one
fced to pass to and from tho city.
Oolng through thle gate, one could
tnaka the hill (where the car of Jug
gernaut etood) within fifteen mlnutcH,
while a detour round the walls of the
ancient city would consume three
quarters of an hour, Tlmballa ordered
the gate to be cloaed and stationed a
guard there. The galea clanged be
hind him and Kathlyn. Thle time ho
waa guarding every entrance If his
•nenriea were within they would
naturally be weak In numbers; out
side, they would find It extremely diffi
cult to make an entrance. More than
this, he had sent a troop toward tho
colonel's camp.
The gates had scarcely been closed
when Ahmed, his elephant and his
•rraed keepers came Into view. The
tnen sent I’undlla back to camp, and
the actual warfare began. They ap
proached the gale, demanding to be al
lowed to pass Tho soldiers refused.
Instantly the keepers Hung themselves
furiously upon Iho soldiers. The
•rooper who held the key threw It over
the wall Just before he was oviff-pow
ered. But Ahmed had come prepared.
From out the howdah he took a heavy
leather pad, which he adjusted over
the fore skull of the elephant, and
gave a command.
The skull of the elephant Is thick.
Hunters will tell you that bullets
glance off It as water from tho back of
a duck. Thua, protected by the leather
pad, the elephant becomes a formida
ble battering ram, barked up by tons
of weight Only the solidity of stones
may stay him. (
Ahmed’s elephant shouldered through
the gates grandly. For all the resist
ance they offered that skull they might
have been constructed of papier
inarhe.
Through the dust they hurried.
Whenever a curious native got In the
way the butt of a rifle bestirred him
out of it.
Umballa had lashed Kathlyn to n
sapling which was laid acroaa the path
of the car. The man was mad, stark
mad. this alght Even the soldiers
and the devotees surrounding the ear
ware tarrlfled. One did not force sac
rifices to Juggernaut. One soldier had
protested and he lay at the bottom of
the hill, hla skull crushed The others,
palled one way by greed of money and
loVe of life, stirred no hand.
But Kathlyn Memaahlb did not die
under the broad wheehi of the ear of
Juggernaut Ho Interested In I'mbatla
were hla men that they forgot th»
vigilance required to conduct such a
ceremony free of Interruption. A
crackling of shots, a warning cry to
drop their arms, the plunging of an
elephant In the path of the car, which
was already thundering down tho hill,
spoiled Umballa* classic.
CHAPTER XV(II.
In the Aren*.
Whllw Rrui e end two of hie men
carried Kathlyn out of harm'd way to
the ahelter of the underbruah. where
ha liberated her, Ahmed drove I'nibal
la and hla panlc-etrlckeu aoldiers over
tha brow of the hill. I'mballa eould
be distinguished by hla robea and tur
ban, but In the moonlight Ahmed and
hla followera were all of a color, like
cata In the dark. With mad Joy In hla
heart Ahmed could not realat propel
ling the furloua regent down hill, ualng
the butt of hla rifle and pretending he
did not know who It waa he wee titrat
ing with these Indignities And Uru
bella could not tell who hla aaaallant
waa because he was given no oppor
tunity to turn
"Boor"' Ahmed shouted "Swine!
Take that, and that, and that!"
Stumbling on, t'mhalla cried mit
In pain; but he did not ask for mercy.
“Soot! Tell your master, Ihirga
Ham. how bites thla gun butt as I shall
tell mine the pleasure It gives me to
administer It Hwlne! Ha, you atum
blel XJp with you!"
Hatter and bang! Doubtless Ahmed
would have prolonged this delightful
entertainment to the very steps of the
palace, but a full troop of soldiers ap
peared at the foot of the hill and Ah
med saw that It waa now his turn to
taka to hla heels.
“Swine!* with a parting blow which

Umballa staggered to his feet, his
sight blinded with tears of pain. He
waa sober enough now. and Ahmed's
Anal words rang In his ears like a
clamor of bells. "What a certain dun
geon holds!* Stumbling down the hill,
urged by Ahmed's blows, only one
thought occupied his mind: to wreak

He fell Into the arms of bis troop
erg and they carried him to a litter,
thence to the palace Hla back was
covered with bruises, and but for the
thickness of hla cummerbund ha must
have died under the beating, which
had been thorough and masterly.
"What a certain dungeon holds!” In
hlB chamber Tlmballa called for his
peg of brandy and champagne, which
for some reason did not take hold as
usual. For the first time In hla life
Iturga Ram, so-called Tlmballa, knew
what agony was. But did It cause him
to think with pity of the agonies he
had caused thsm? Not In the least.
When Ahmed rejoined his people
Kathlyn was leaning against her fath
er's shoulder, smiling wanly.
"Where Is Tlmballa?" cried Bruce,
selling Ahmed by tho arm.
"On tho way to the palace!" Ahmed
laughed and told what he had accom
plished.
Bruce raised his hands In anger.
"But, sahib!" began Ahmed, not
comprehending
"And, having him In your hands, you
let him go!”
Ahmed stood dumfounded. His Jaw
sagged, his rlflo slipped from his
hands arid foil with a clank at his
feet.
"You are right, snhtb. I am an un
thinking fool. May Allah forgive me!"
"Wo could have held him a hostage,
and tomorrow morning wo all could
have left Alluha free, unhindered! Ood
forgive you, Ahmed, for not think
ing!"
"In the heat of battle, sahib, one
does not always think of the morrow."
But Ahmed’s head fell and his chin
touched his breast That he, Ahmed
of tho secret service, should let spite
overshadow forethought and to be
called to account for It! He was dis
graced.
"Never mind, Ahmed,” said Kathlyn
kindly "What Is done is done. We
must find safety. We shall have to
hide In the Jungle tonight. And there
Is my sister. You should have thought,
Ahmed ”
"Umballa will not hnrm a hair of
her head,” replied Ahmed, lifting his
bend
"Your work has tilled his heart with
venom," declared Bruce hotly.
"And my words, sahib, have filled
hla veins with water," replied Ahmed,
now smiling.
"What do you mean?” demanded the
colonel.
"Aak Hamabal. Perhaps he will tell
you."
"That." returned Hamabal, "la of
less Importance at this moment than
the method to be used In liberating the
daughter of Colonel Sahib. Listen. The
people are angry because they were
not permitted to be present at the eao
rtflee to Juggernaut To pacify them
Tlmballa will have to Invent some
amusement In the arena."
"But how will that aid us?" Inter
rupted the colonel.
•'Lgt us say, an exhibition of wild
animals, with tholr trainers."
‘Trainers ?“
“Yen. You, Colonel Sahib, and you,
Kathlyn Memeahlb, and you. Bruce Sa
hib. will without difficulty act the
parte."
"Hood!" said Ahmed bitterly "The
three of them will rush Into the royal
boi, seise Winnie Memeahlb. and
carry her off from under the very
noeee of Cmballa. the Council and the
eoldlern!"
“My friend Ahmed Is bitter," said
Rnmabsl patiently
"At, ai! I had I'mballa In my hands
and let him go' Pardon me, Ramabal;
1 am Indeed bitter."
"Hut «ho will suggest this animal
scheme to I'mballa?" Inquired Bruce,
"I " Ramabal salaamed
' You will walk Into the lion's den?"
"The jackal's," Ramabal corrected.
"Cod help me! If 1 only had a tfiw
men" groaned the colonel, raising his
hands to heaven.
' You will be throwing away your
life uselessly, Ramabal," said Hath,
lyn
"No. T'mhalla and I will understand
each other completely."
"Kamabal.” put In Ahmed, with hie
singular smile, do you want a crime?"
"For myself? No again. For my
wife? Thai Is a different matter.”
"And the man In the dungeon?"
Ironically.
ltumahal suddenly faced the moon
and stared long and silently st the
brilliant planet In his mind there was
conflict, war between right and ambi
tion He seemed to have forgotten
those about him, waiting anxiously for
him to speak
"Ramabal." said Ahmed craftily, "at
a word from you a thousand armed
men will spring Into existence and
within twelve hours set Pundit* on
yonder throne Why do you heaftate
to give the sign?"
Ramabal whevfled quickly.
‘ Ahmed, alienee! I am yet an hon
orable man You know and I know
how far I may go Trtfla with me no
more.”
Ahmed aalaamed deeply.
"Think not badly of me Ramabal;
fcW J tffl g man of action, and It galla

ma to wait."
"Are you wholly unselfish?”
It was Ahmed's turn to address mute
inquiries to the moon.
"What Is all this palaver about?"
Bruce came In between the two men
Impatiently.
"Ood knows!" murmured the colo
nel. "One thing I know, If we stand
here much longer we’ll all spend the
rest of tho night In prison.”
There was wisdom In this. They
marched away at once, following the
path of tho elephant and tha loyal
keepers. Thpre was no pursuit. Sol
dlera with purses filled with promises
are' not over-eager to face skilled
The colonel and bis fol
lowers, not being aware of this Inde
cision, proposed camping in the first
spot which afforded protection from
the chill of night, not daring to make
for the bungalow, certain that It was
being watched. In this they were wise,
for a cordon of soldiers (with some
thing besides promises in their purses)
surrounded the camp on the chance
that Its Owner might hazard a return.
"Now, Hamabal, what Is your plan?"
asked the colonel, as he wrapped Kath
lyn In the howdah blanket. "We are
to pose as animal trainers- Good.
What next?”
"A trap and a tunnel."
"Ah!”
"There used to be one. A part of It
caved In four or five yean ago. It
can be re-excavated In a night. The
men who do that shall be my own.
Your animals will be used. To Kath
lyn Memsahlb your pet leopards will
be as play fellows. She has the eye,
and the voice, and the touch. She
shall be veiled to her eyes, with a bit
of ochre on her forehead. Who will
recognize her?"
"The sight of you. Ramabal, will
cause him to suspect."
"That remains in the air. There
must be luck In It ”
"If Umballa can be lured to drink
his pegs.” Then, with an Impatient
gesture, Ahniezf added: "Folly! Whatl
Umballa and the Council will not reo
ognlze the Colonel Sahib's hair, the
memsahlb's golden head?"
'in the go-down of Lai Singh, the
cobbler, there are many things, even
wigs and false beards,” retorted Ra
mabal slyly.
Ahmed started, then laughed.
"You are right. Ramabal. So then
we have wigs and beards. Go on."
He was sitting cross-legged and rock
ing back and forth.
"After the trick* are done Kathlyn
Memsahlb will throw aside her veil
and stand revealed, to Umballa, to the
Council, to the populace."
Bruce Jumped to his feet.
"Be patient, Bruce Sahib,” reproved
Ramabal. "I am not yet done."
Rruce sat down again, and Kathlyn
stole a glance at hts lean, unhappy
face. How she longed to touch It, to
smooth away the lines of care! Tha
old camaraderie was gone; there
seemed to be some Invisible barrier
between them now.
"She will discover herself, then,"
proceeded Ramabal. ■'Umballa will
at once start to order her capture,
when she shall stay him by crying
that she Is willing to face the arena
Ilona. Remember, there will be a trap
and a tunnel."
"And outside?" said Ahmed, still
doubting. t
"There will be toldlera, my men.
But they will at that moment be else
where.”
"If you hare soldiers, then, why not
slip them Into the palace and hare
them take the young memsahlb by
force?"
"My men ere not permitted to enter
the palace, Ahmed. I'mballa la afraid
of them. To go on. Winnie Mem
sahib will stand up and exclaim that
she will Join her sister to prove that
she la no less brave."
"But tha Ilona!" —from Brace. From
his point of view tha plan was as ab
surd as It waa impossible.
Ramabal. however, knew hla people
and Bruce did not
"Alwaye remember tha trap and tha
tunnel, Bruce Sahib. At the entrance
of the Hons the trap will fall. Inside
the tunnel will be the Colonel Sahib
and Bruce Sablb. Outatde will be Ah
med and the brave men ha had with
him this night And all the road free
to the gates!"
"Ah, for those thousand men!"
sighed Ahmed. "I cannot forget them."
"Nor 1 tha dungeon-keep," replied
Ramabal. “T must go my own way.
Of the right and wrong of It yon are
not concerned. Ahmed."
"Ry the Lord!" exclaimed the colo
nel. getting up. "I begin to under
stand. He Is alive, and they hold him
there In a den, vile like mine waa.
Alive!"
"I'mballa did not put him there. It
waa tha politics as tha Council; and
this Is the sword which T’mballa
holds over their heads. And if I sum

"Pardon. Ramabal'" cried Ahmed,

IRBURGH WILL
DROP BUSINESS
As a Member of Federal Re
serve Board He Will Divest
Himself of all Financial Con
nections.
Washington.—Paul M. Warburg's
testimony before the senate banking
committee, made public today, reveals
that as a member of the federal re
serve board he will divest himself of
all financial connections, even though
not required by law to do so.
“I cannot discuss the affairs of my
firm or my partners.” said Mr. War
burg, “nor be asked to criticise acts
of my partners, either to approve them
or in any way. I think that
my firm (Kuh* Ix>eb and Company)
is not up as nominee for membership
on the federal reserve hoard; I am. I
am going to leave that firm; I am
going to leave my Hamburg firm, and
every single corporation with which
I am connected. More than that, I
am going to leave every educational
and philan£hropic association with
which I have been connected. I think
a man who is on the federal reserve
board ought to be like Caesar’s wife;
he ought to be above suspicion; he
ought to be without any entangling
alliances.”
Mr. Warburg also said he would
dispose of all his interests in rail
roads. mentioning in particular the
Baltimore and Ohio, of which he was
a director.
