SATURDAY, AUGUST 22. SPORTING NEWS AND GOSSIP SPORT STONE HAD BEST END OF THE BATTLE; HOWEVER, HE LOST In a Pitcher’s Contest Yesterday Afternoon in Which Augusta Twirler Had Best End the Charleston Club Won by Score of One to Nothing---Mackert’s Daring Base-running Was Responsible For the Tally Charleston, S. C.—ln a pitchers’ bat tle yesterday afternoon in which Stone of the Augusta Combacks had a bet ter end than Spade of the Gulls, the visitors went down to defeat by the score of 1 to 0. Mackert's daring base-running was responsible for the tally as he scored from second while Stone was touching McMillan out on the way to first. The Georgia lads threatened to score several times, get ting six hits that looked bad at the time. However, the fast fielding of the local outergardners held them down. It looked like one of those rare no-run games was on schedule; that is, until Mac broke it up in the fourth by his sensational dash from the sec ond sack, scoring the only run that was registered throughout the game. Mackert had it in for the Augusta club and had intimated that he was going to hurt them in some way. Of course the locals won Thursday but the “Augusta cast-off” wasn’t instru mental in their defeat, although he did mix with Smith. Well, he settled all scores yesterday, or should have.

Pundlta smiled. “My lord Is not capable of so vile an act.” "No.” And hand In hand they stood before catafalque, forgetting everything but the perfect understanding between them. “At, al!” It was but a murmur; and the two turned to witness the approach of the woman of the zenana. She flung her self down before the catafalque, pas sionately kissing tho shroud. She leaned back and beat her breast and walled. Ramabai was vastly puzzled over this demonstration. That a hand some young woman should wall over the corpse of an old raun who had never been anything to her might have an interpretation far removed from sorrow. Always in sympathy, how ever, with those bowed with grief, Ra mabai stooped and attempted to rale# her. She shrank from his touch, looked up, and for the first time seemed to be aware of his presence. Like a bub ble under water, that which had been striving for uttorance came to the sur face. She snatched one of Kamabal's hands. • “Al, al! lam wretched, lord, wretch ed ! There is hot lead In my heart and poison In my brain! I will confess, confess!” Ramabai and Pundlta gazed at each other, astonished. “What Is It? What do you wish to confess?” cried Ramabai quickly. Per haps ... * She clung to his band. “They will order my death by the silken cord. I am afraid. Krishna fend for me!" “What do you know T” “His majesty was murdered!" she whispered. “I knew that,” replied Ramabai. "But who murdered him? Who built that cage in the palanquin? Who put the tiger there? Who beat and over powered the real bearers and confis cated their turbans? Speak, girl; and If you can prove these things, there will be no silken cord.” “Rut who will belters a poor wom an of the zenana?” "I will.” "But you cannot save me from the cord. They have taken away your power.” “And you shall give It back to me!” "IT” “Even so. Come with me now, to the temple.” “The temple?" “Aye; where all the soldiers ars, the priests . . . and Durga Ram!” “Al, alt Durga Ram; It was ha! And I helped him, thus: I secured per mission to go Into the bazaars. There an assault took place under the com mand of Durga Ram, and my bearers were made prisoners. Durga Ram, disguised as a bearer, himself freed the tiger which killed the king. Yes! To the temple! She who confesses In the temple, her person Is sacred. It Is the law, the law! I had forgotten! To the temple, my lord!” Before the high tribunal of prleets, before the unhappy Kathlyn, before the astonished Umballa, appeared Ra mabal and Pundita, between them the young woman of the zenana, now al most dead with terror. "Hold!" cried Ramabal when the soldiers started toward him to elect him from the temple. "What!” said Umballa; "will you re cant?” "No, Durga Ram. I stand here be fore you all, an accuser! I know the law. Will you, wise and venerable priests, you men of Allaba, you sol diers, serve a murderer? Will you,” with a wave of his hands toward the priests, “stand sponsor to the man who deliberately planned and ex» ented the miserable death of our king? Shall It fly to Benares, this news that Allaba permits Itself to be ruled and bullied by a common murderer; a man without family, a liar and a cheat? Durga Ram, you slew the king; you turned upon the band that had fed and clothed you and raised you to power. . . . Walt! Let this wom an speak!” A dramatic moment followed; a si lence so tense that the fluttering wings of the doves In the high arches could be heard distinctly. Ramabal was a great politician, lie had struck not only wisely but swiftly before hla pub lic. Had he come before the priests and Umballa alone, he would have died on tbe spot. But there was no way of covering up this accusation, so bold, direct; It would have to be In vestigated. Upon her knees, her arms out stretched toward the scowling priests, the woman of the zenana tremblingly told her tale: how she had saved Um bailah during the revolt; how she had secured him shelter with her sister, who was a dancer; bow she had vis ited Umballa In his secret chamber; how he bad confided to her his plans; bow she had seen hlin with her own The Adventures of Kathlyn By HAROLD MAC GRATH Illustrated by Pictures from tbe Moving Picture Production of the Sellg Polyscope Ch (Cotrrlfbt by Harold lfaaOrslb) eyos become one of the fake bearers of the palanquin. "The woman lies because I spurned her!” roared Umballa. “Away with her!” cried the chief priest, inwardly cursing Umballa for "I Don't Want You to. I Noed You. having permitted thin woman to live when she knew so much. "Away with her!” “The law!” the woman walled. "The sanetty of the temple is mine!” "Hold!” said Kathlyn, standing up. In her baiting Hindustani she spoke: "I have something to say to you all. This woman tells the truth. Let her go unafraid. You, grave priests, have thrown your lot with Umballa. Listen. Have you not leurned by this time that I am not a weak woman but a strong one? Yob have harried me and In jured me and wronged me and set tor tures for me, but here 1 stand, un harmed. This day I will have my re venge. My servant Ahmed has de parted for the walled city of Bala Khan. He will return with Bala Khan and an army such as will flatten the city of AU&ha to the ground, and crows and vultures and tigers and jackals shall make those temples their abiding places, and men will forget Allnha as they now forget the mighty Chltor.” She swung round toward the priests. "You have yourselves to thank. At a word from me, Bala Khan enters or stops at the outer wall. I have tried to escape you by what means I had at my command. Now It shall be warl War, famine, plague!” Her young voice rang out sharp and clear, sending terror to all cowardly hearts, not least among these being those beating In the breasts of the priests. "Now,” speaking to the soldiers, “go liberate my father, my sister, and my husband-to-be; and woe to any who disobey me! For while I stand here I shall be a queen Indeed! Peace; or war, famine, and the plague. Humraon the executioner. Arrest Durga Ram. Btrlp him before my eyes of his every Insignia of rank. He Is a murderer. He shall go to the treadmill, there to slave till death. 1 have said It!” Far In the rear of the cowed assem blage, near the doors, stood Ahmed, In his old guise of bhlstl, or water car rier. When he heard that beloved voice he felt the blood rush Into bis throat. Aye, they were right. Who but a goddess would have had at suoh a time an Inspiration so great? But It gave him an Idea, and he slipped away to complete It. Bala Khan should come In fact. Ho he did not see Umballa upon hie knees, whining for mercy, making fu tile promises, begging for liberty. The soldiers spat contemptuously as they seized him and dragged him off. The prlesta conferred hastily. Bala Khan was a tierce Mohammedan, a ruthless soldier; hia followers were without fear. The men of Allaha might put up a good defense, but hi the end they would be whelmed; end the gods es Hind would be cast out to make way for the prophet of Allah. This young woman with the white skin had for the nonce beaten them. Durga Kam bad played the fool; between tbe two women, he had fallen. They had given him power, and he hud let It slip through his Angers for tbe sake of re prisal where It was not needed. Let him go, then, to the treadmill; they were through with him. He had played his game like a tyro. They must pla cate this young woman who the peo ple believed was their queen, but who they knew was the plaything of poli tics and expediencies. The chief or high priest salaamed, and Kathlyn eyed him calmly, though her knees threatened to refuse sup port. "Majesty, we bow to your will. Alla ha cannot hope to cope with Bala Khan's ilerco hlllmen. All we ask Is that you abide with us till you have legally selected your successor ” “Who shall be Pundita,” said Kath lyn resolutely. The chief priest salaamed again. Tbe movement cost him nothing. Once Bala Khan waa back |n_ his city and this white woman out of the country, he would undertake to deal with Ra mabai and Pundlta. He doubted Bala Khan would stir from his Impregna ble city on behalf of Ramabai. The frail woman who loved Umballa raised her hands in supplication. Kathlyn understood. She shook her head. Umballa should end his days la the treadmill; he should grind the people's corn. Nothing should stir her from this determination. “Majesty, and what of me?" cried the unhappy woman, now filled with another kind of remorse. “You shall return to the zenana for the present” "Then lam not to dlfe, majesty?" I "No.” “And Bala Khan?" Inquired the priest. “He shall stand prepared; that la all." The people, crowding In the temple and In the square before it, salaamed deeply aB Kathlyn left and returned to the palace. She was rather dizzy over the success of her inspiration. A few days might pass without harm; but sooner or later they would discover that she had tricked them; and then, the end. But before that hour arrived they wonld doubtless find some way of leaving the city secretly. That It would be many days ere Pundlta wore the crown —trust the priests to spread the meshes of red tape!—Kathlyn was reasonably cer tain. “My girl.” sntd the colonel, "you are a queen. If ever there was one. And that you should think of such a sim ple thing when we had all given upil They would not have touched Umbal la. Kit, Kit, whatever will you do when yon return to the humdrum life at home?” “Thank God on my knees, dadt" she said fervently. "But we are not safe yet, by no means. We must form our plans quickly. We have perhaps three days’ grace. After that, woe to all of us who are found here. Ah, I am tired, tired!" “Kit,” whispered Bruce, "I Intend this night to seek Bala Khan!” “John!” "Yen. What the deuce is Allaha to me? Ramabai must fight It out alone. But don't worry about me, I can take care of myself.” "Hut I don't want you to go. I need you." "It Is your life, Kit, I am oertaln. Everything depends updn their finding out that Bala Khan will strike If you call upon him. At most, all he’ll do will be to levy a tribute which Rama bal, once Pundlta 1b on the throne, can very well pay Those prlssta are dev ils Incarnate. They will leave no stona unturned to do you Injury, after to day's work. You have humiliated and outplayed them.” "It Is host he should go. Kit," her father declared. "We'll not tell Rama bai. He has been a man all the way through; but we mustn't sacrifice our chances for tbe sake of a bit of senti ment. John must seek Bala Khaa'a aid.” Kathlyn became resigned to tbe In evitable Umbafla. He tried to bribe tbe Mi dlers. They laughed and taunted him. He took the rings from his fingers and offered them. The soldiers snatched them out of his palm and thrust him along the path which led to tha mill. In Allaha political malefactors and murderers were made to serve tha state; not a bad law If It had always been a just one Bat many a poor devil had died at the wrist bar for no other reason than that he had offended some high official, disturbed tha seraa-i ity of some priest. When the prisoners saw Umballa a shout went up. There were soma who had Umballa to thank for their mis eries. Thsy hailed him and jeared him and mocked him. "Here Is the gutter ratf** "May his feet be tenderl" "Robber of the poor, where Is ms home, my wife and children?** "May he rot In tha grave with a ptgt" "Hast ever been thirsty, highness?** "Drink thy sweat, then I" “G've the *heeyea-born' Irons that are rusted!” The keepers enjoyed this raillery. Umballa was going to afford them mnch amusement They forced him to the wrist bar, snapped the Irons on hts wrist, and shouted to the men to tread. Ah, well they knew the game! They trotted with gusto, forcing Um balla to keep pace with them, a fright ful ordeal for a beginner. Presently he slipped and fell, and hung by his wrists while bis legs and thighs bumped cruelly. The lash fell upon his shoulders, and he shrieked and grew limp. He had fainted. • • • • e e (To Be 0 utinned Tomorrow.V No. Six-Sixty-Six This is a prescription prepared especially for MALARIA or CHILLS & FEVER.
