The Madness Of Sari
BY Prince Vladimir vaniatsky
Copyright, BY J. B. Lippincott Coz

| Poona and a Hindu girl. That was
her song. The song she had made
for him out of the fullness of her
love, out of the joy of life, out of the
breath that came from the nostrils of
love. But how came this hideous
creature to sing it? Then Sir Rich
ard was no longer the man of impor-
lance, the wearer of titles and hon.
orable names, but the subaltern, the
Dicky who was snubbed by Molly
Burke, and the Hindu girl again sang
like the bulbul to him of her love.
1t was over. The applause brought
many white gloves to the beggars,
split.
After the affair Sir Richard
went to meet her with the spirit
of Dicky, the subaltern, hunger
ing for the Hindu girls song of
love. He went half willingly, half un-
willingly.
Then, beneath the rouge and pow
der, apart from the hideous gown of
orange and black, Dicky-who was
now the subaltern-saw the little Hin
du girl. She acknowledged the in
PRODUCTION with a peculiar grace. Her
voice was low and musical.
Later when Sir Richard reached
his chambers he was not surprised to
find a note awaiting him. 1t was has
tily scrawled on Government house pa
per.
IF you will ask for me at the Tai
Mahal," 1t ran, you can see me to-
night" But the signature was a
queer little thing in Hindustanee. All,
how familiar!
When Sir Dicky had walked fever
ishly over the few feet of ground be-
tween the club chambers and the Tai
Mahal hotel he found himself asking,
in a queer, throaty voice, for Nine.
Martinez.
"Sir Richard Monvell? Madam Mar
tinez sent word that you were to be
shown into her private parlor."
Dicky found himself alone in the
room. He looked around it. Auto
graphed photographs of Melba, Eames,
Flancon, Chaminade and Paderewski
were there, but in a great frame of
carven Burmese silver there was a
photograph of the Dicky Monvell Of
ten years ago.
Then, like a whirlwind, a native
woman came into the room. Her bare,
dimpled knees and slender, graceful
ankles showed beneath native gar
ments.
"Dicky!" she moaned, and fell sob.
bling at his feet. Her golden anklets
were almost the color of her brilliant
skin, and the heavy bracelets that
clinked about her wrists were 1.-The
same for which Dicky had borrowed
money of the Parsee to pay. But her
throat, her beautiful, statuesque
throat, was bound, as 1t had been that
evening at Government house, in a
swathing of chiffon and glittering Sc
gums.
Dicky succumbed.
All the thoughts of ten years ago
came back with her sobbing voice, her
~bewildering presence. He took her in
his arms-the sharp edge of a brace
let cut his hand. The Hindu girl
laughed.
See, Dicky, I have cut mine, too"
She laughed again as she drew the
bracelet across her other hand.
foolish" he cried, and he lifted
the cut hand to his lips. She snatched
1t away, But her smile was the smile
of the blessed ones. Then she seized
his hand and placed her lips to the
scratch and drew from it the blood
that ran.

When the morning came Dicky bent
over her. Her face was flushed with
fever, her irregular breathing startled
him. He called her:
"Sari! Sari! Are you ill?"
She smiled in a dazed way.
"Dicky, I shall die to-day-or-to.
morrow, perhaps. See!" She tore the
fanciful conceit of chiffon from her
neck. The beautiful throat was hor-
ribly swollen.
Il knew you would be at Govern
ment house last night. And there
sang my Schwanlieder. I knew

convulsively to her breast. "Oh,

madness? Tell me, it is not In your

What does it matter?" Dicky asked
as he bent owe and kissed her.

THEIR FINAL SESSION TO BE
AT NOON ON MONDAY AT

| The last meeting Of the old council
win be held at noon on Monday, and
the members Of the new council will
also be in attendance AZ the same
hour. Mayor Wise will call the old
council 10 order, and after the roll
call the Mayor win probably have
some hnal words Of farewell Or 4
message, in accordance with the prae.
tice Of his predecessors in the Office.
The final act Of the old council prob
ably viii be to appoint a committee
on credentials, whose duty il will be
to look into the credentials Of those
who have been elected and present
themselves to take up their office,
The question OF the contested cleo
tion for the council in the First ward,
between Mr. Carney, who holds the
certificate of election, and Mr., Kari
men will presumably be one of the
very FIRST things the new council will
act upon. Whether there viii be a
contest demanded in the second ward
also, as between Mr.. Kaboth and Mr.
Schmidt, seems not to have been
definitely settled, though Mr.. Schmidt
has persistently stated that he would
not demand recount, Several mem
bers Of the Republican city commit
tee have been just as persistent in
their desire for recount, and many
citizens have expressed a desire that
the matter be cleared up, II is also
said that a recount could probably be
had even though not asked for by
party personally aggrieved by the
count made by The judges and clerks
Of the election. "We have been Civ
en- to understand" said one member
Of the city committee, shat one Of
the judges is said to have counted six
votes for Mr.. Kaboth that should
have gone to Mr.. Schmidt"

A Portland-Astoria- Tillamook freight

rate war is on.

Just why, no one knows, or knowing,

taken from yesterdays Portland Ore

Freight rates to Tillamook bay

rate war between the operators Of the
steamships Sue H. Elmore and Argo
IS on in earnest and the former
steamship viii accept cargo for trans.

the rate formerly charged. The e.
more is now lying at Couch street
dock and viii sail for Tillamook
Monday evening.
@Rates to TiIlamook have been s. a
ton and practically all the business
from Portland was handled by the
Sue H. Elmore and the gasoline
sehoonefs Evie and Gerald C., all the
property Of Samuel Elmore. In the
early part Of December the steamship
Argo was placed on the run and con.
tracts we're signed up for continu-
sus service and a SIS rate. Immedi-
ateiy after the announcement was
made that the Argo would go on the
run EImore sent his boat to Portland
and cut the rate to meet that Of the
Argo. He has since cut the rate to
$3 ton.
Harry Young, representing the
steamship Argo, announced yester-
day afternoon that the Argo would
not meet the rates Of the Elmore,
but that the vessel would continue on
the run, as his company had contract
ed for enough business at S. TO keep
the vessel busy and had agreed with
the merchants Of Tillamook to give

WALTER KECK'S FINE PLAY.
ING ONE OF FEATURES OF
THE INTERESTING GAME

The Astoria High School football
eleven won from the o. A, G. "Beav'
ers' yesterday afternoon BY this
close score oi ? 10 7.
When the game came 10 an end
there was some question as to what
the score really was, and both sides
left the field with no assurance how
the game would go One touchdown
had been secured by the High School
team by upshur catching punted
ball aud running across the line with
il, Some held that he had no righ,
to do this withou, the ball having
first touched the ground. After the
game the umpire and referee looked
up the rules with care and both de-
eided that there was no doubt the
touchdown should be counted, as it
was an on-side play.
From start to finish the game was
a fast and interesting one, with many
spectacular plays on both sides,
Those among the High School boys
who expected they were going to run
up against a lot OF farmers" found
themselves woiully mistaken, and In
the end il was merely little superior
skill and team playing that won the
game.
But to take Hamlet out OF the play
would not leave a greater void than
to have taken Walter Keck out Of
the Beavers Keck showed him.
self to be a wonderful player He
lowered above all with ease, and it
is not at all amiss to say that the
game was virtually the Astoria High
against Walter Ksck, in which Keck
came near TO winning. Keck Is said
to be only IS or 10 years old, and
only a little over a year ago had
never played football. Now he is
one Of the star players of the o. A,
c. college team, and is known as one
Of the promising players Of the north
west Yesterday he seemed to COM
bine weight, skill, GOODNESS and head
work, and the way he threw himself
into the game was something fine to
see Yet he was not the only good
player on his side, for several OF the
Beavers" showed up we'll.
The attendance was fairly good,
there being several hundred on the
field, and the spectators enjoyed ev.
cry minute Of the playing, as there
was something doing all the time.
One unfortunate feature was the way
some Of the spectators were permit
ted to over.run the field, keeping in
the way Of the players and shutting
off the view Of all those who had the
decency to stay where they belonged.
Captain Parker OF the Astoria High,
one Of the strongest players Of the
local team, was badly hurt in the ear
ly part Of the game and had to retire.
In the last half Rogers Of the Astoria
High also hurt his knee cap again,
though he managed to stay in. the
game. None OF the others was badly
hurt.
The local boys were plainly not in
the condition they might have been
in, and should have been in, and they
lacked the precision and strength
that they had showed on Thanksgiv-
ing day. 1t looks as If they have been
suffering from a pretty bad case Of

Prehistoric Oyster Shells.

That the oyster was in common use
by primeval men has been conclusive
ly shown by the discovery in the
Kitchen middens'' of Denmark Of
many thousands of oyster shells show
ing every evidence of having been ar
tificially opened. In ancient Greece,
also, the oyster appears to have been
a recognized delicacy, for DR.. Henry
Schlieman, the eminent German arch
aeologist, in his historic search for the
ancient and somewhat mythical city
of Troy, found many oyster shells in
the ruins of the five prehistoric settle
ments of Hissarlik. But it was Rome
in the height of her power and opu-
lence that, by singing out the oyster
as the piece de resistance of the
Roman banqueting halls, conferred
upon the oyster its just title as one OF
the most delicious and appetizing
foods within the grasp of man.
