TEN 'V;-- 'di WE* W fr*W' '' ■m'' u * (Continued from Yesterday.) 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 •ent I'mballa to hla knees, "tell your master that If he harms the little mem sahib In the palace be ahall die! Let him remember the warnings that he has received, end let him not forget .What a certain dungeon holds 1* 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 hie vengeance for these Indignities upon ea Innocent girt. Hut now e new lew entered hla c raven soul, craven as The Adventures of Kathlyn By HAROLD MAC GRATH llluttrated by Picture* from the Moving Picture Production ot the Sellg Polytcope Co. all cruel souls are. Some one VnewT 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 (OegyrigSt by Harold MaoGraUq 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 moned my thousand men their teal for mo . . ." "Pardon. Ramabal'" cried Ahmed, oontrltely. Pardon!" (To be continued Tomorrow.) THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA. Today’s Puzzle-Can You Read II? Word* made up ot neroee of_flve craftsmen.

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.
