Celebrated at Crystal Lake.

The local lodge of the Daughters of
Naomi enjoyed an outing at Crystal
lake yesterday. This is the first ami
versary of the organization Of the lodge
and the occasion was fittingly cele-
brated. Two large bus loads of the
daughters and their friends were driven
to the lake by Frank Walsh. Several
large freezers OF ice cream and many
baskets of other refreshments went
with the party. They picnicked in the
grove at the lake and made their ami
versary celebration an enjoyable affair
not soon to be forgotten. The lodge is
in a most flourishing condition for a
year-old organization. and everything
points to prosperous and useful
career

CHAPTER III.

''YOu buried him alive?" For a mo-
ment was too stunned to act. Then l
hurled myself upon the man, as he sat,
with that placid smile of his upon his
lips, and l would have torn his throat
out had the three wretcheS not dragged
me away from him. Again and again
made for him, painting and cursing,
shaking off this man and that, strain
ing and wrenching, but never quite
free. At last, with my jacket nearly
torn off my back and the blood dripping
from my wrists, l was hauled back
wards in the blight of rope and cords
passed around my ankles and my
arms.
''You sleek hound, cried. IF ever
1 have you at my swOrdspoint will
teach you to Knaltreat one of my lads
You will find, you bloodthirsty beast,
that my emperor has long arms, and,
though you lie here like rat in its hole,
the time will come when he will tear
you out of it, and you and your vermin
will perish together" My faith, have
a rough side to my tongue, and there

in fourteen campaigns which did not
let fly at him, but he Sat with, the han
die of his pen tapping against his fore

ton of his which showed me how l
might get my point into him. you
spawn" said 1, you think that you are
safe here, but your life may be as short
as that of your absurd verses, and God
knows it could not be shorter than
that"
Oh, you should have seen him bound
from his chair when l had said the
words. This vile monster, who dis
pensed death and torture as a grocer
serves out figs, had one raw nerve
which 1 could prod at pleasure. His
face now grew hvid and those little
bourgeois side whisl1ers quivered and
thrilled with his passion.
Every good, colonel. You have said
enough" he cried, in a choking voice.
''You say that you have had a very dis
tinguished career; promise you also a
very distinguished ending. Col. Ell

COLLECTING BAD DEBTS IN INDIA
Creditor Sits ON the Debtors Step I1iI
His Bill Is Paid

Creditor Sits ON the Debtors Step I1u
His Bill Is Paid
Many queer stories are told of the
persistence and clever devices of the
collectors of bad debts, but even a pro-
fesSioqal huIuorist would find it hard to
invent anything more absurd than the
method actually in use among the Ma
harattasi<at least, if travellers tales are
toabe.ttusfed.
R1thE4 country, so they say, when a
creditor cannot get his money and be-
gins to- regard the debt as desperate,
he protocols to sit ''dhurna" upon his
debtor5 that is, he squats down at the
door of his victims tent, and thereby
in some mysterious way becomes mas
ter Of the situation. No one can go in
or out except by his sanction. He
neither himself eats nor allows the
debtor to eat, and this extraordinary
starvation contest is kept up until eth
er the debt is paid or the creditor gives
up the siege, and in the latter case the
debt is held to be cancelled.
However strange it may appear to
Europeans, this method of enforcing
demand is an established and almost
universal usage among the Maharatas,
and seems to them a mere. matter of
course. Even their "scindiah," or chief
tain, is, not exempt from it.
The laws by which the "dhurna" is
regulated are as well defined as those
of any other custom whatever. When
it is meant to be very strict the claim
ant takes with him a number of his
followers, who surround the tent, and
sometimes even the bed of his adver-
sary, to make sure that he obtains no
mOrsel of food. The code, however,
prescribes the same abstinence for the
men who impose the ordeal, and, of
course, the strongest stomach wins the
day. After all, we have little right to
ridicuIe this absurdity, for our own
laws still provide, nominally at least,
for starving jury into a verdict.
A similar custom was once so preva-
lent in the province and city of Benares
that Brahmins were sometimes system
atieally put through a course Of train
ing to enable them to endure a long
time without food. They were then
sent to the door of some rich person.
where they publicly made VOW to re-
main fasting until a certain sum of
money was paid, or until they persisted
from starvation. To cause the death
of a Rrahmin was considered so helm
our an offense that the cash was gener-
ally forthcoming, but never without
resolute struggle to determine wheth-
er the man was likely to prove stanch,
for the average oriental will almost as
soon give up his life as his money

were. So frantic were their gestures
that l was convinced that my end had
come, and was just bracing myself to
meet it in manner which should be
worthy of my past reputation when
one of them gave an order, and l
was dragged roughly across the. little
glade to the bramb1es from which this
new band had emerged.
A narrow pathway led through them
to deep grotto in the side of the cliff.
The sun was already setting outside
and in the cave itself it would have
been quite dark but for pair Of
torches which blazed from a socket on
either side. Between them there was
sitting at a rude table very singular
looking person, whom l saw instantly,
from the respect with which the others
addressed him, could be none other than
the brigand chief who had received,
on account of his dreadful character,
the sinister name of Ell Cuchillo. The
ried in and placed upon the top of a
barrel, his helpless legs dangling about
in front of him and his cats eyes still
darting chances of hatred at me. I'M
derstood from the snatches of talk
which 1 could follow between the
chief and him that he was the
lieutenant of the band, and that
part of his duties was to lie in wait,
with his smooth tongue and his peace
full garb, for travellers like myself.
When 1 thought of how many gallant
officers may have been lured to their
death by this monster of hypocrisy it
gave me a glow of pleasure to think
that l had brought his villainies to an
end-though feared it would be at the
cost of life which neither the emperor
nor the army could well spare.
AS the injured man, still supported
on the barrel by two comrades, was eX-
planning in Spanish all that had be-
fallen him, 1 was held by sevGSal Of
the villains in front of the table at
which the chief was seated, and had an
excellent opportunity of observing him.
l have seldom seen any man who was
less like my idea of brigand, and es-
peciallv of a brigand with such repu-
tation that in land of cruelty he had
earned so dark a nickname. His face
was bluff, and broad and bland, with
ruddy cheeks and comfortable little
tufts of side whiskers, which gave him
the appearance of well-to-do grocer
of the Rue st. Antoine. He had not
any of those fiaring sashes or cleaning
weapons which distinguished his Col
. lowers, but on the contrary he wore
good broadcloth coat like a respectable
father of a family, and save his brown
leggings there was nothing to indicate
a life among the mountains. His sur
roundings, too, corresponded with him
