persisted Miss Bayard in firm accents, though she
almost ready to faint.
Mem Sahib' protested the man, I'VE shall see
you in safety to your friends. In that you must be-
lieve our word
A moments reflection convinced Miss Bayard
that there other for her but trust in
their assurance. The very thought of remaining
whole night in that horrible prison caused her to
shudder.
Very WELL" she said. Il hope you realize what
will be the consequences to you if you are not speak
ing the truth
So she moved forward but had barely crossed the
threshold, when long enveloping cloak was thrown
her form, her hands were grasped from behind,
and she thrust hurredly along, down nnumer
able steps. Presently cooler air informed her that
they had reached the open and the splash of water
that she close to the river. Then the chant of
the yogi distinctly fell upon her
"Om ndnn padui hom! ON manu- pdd'nt ho,n!
BE still, you madman!" some one muttered with
a curse.
But the yogi still kept up his monotonous chant,
"O,n manu- paduri homl ON pddn1i hOm!
Greatly to be desired is the beauty of the lotus"
Miss Bayard then felt herself lifted into boat, and
while held securely to seat she warned not to
utter sound. But the cloak falling from her face
disclosed her position The two men who had
brought her from the temple room had joined an

to gain possession of her. when she heard shutting
footsteps in the passage The door of the room was
unbolted and opened. Two figures stood beyond
the door, and while held up lamp the other
beckoned her to come forth. With effort Miss
Bayard summoned all her courage to demand the
explanation of such outrage against her liberty:
What do you mean by this?" she cried

found there, blessing the dripping bathers and re-
ceiving copper coins in return-not being able to
give something for nothing and continue in business,
according to ancient custom, at any rate in Benares
So Miss Bayard inquired and took her way to the
Kali Chat. Presently she found herself being swept
along in stream of humanity, the like of which you
will not find outside Benares. With whole families
went the last black skinned and dark eyed baby.
Rubbing shoulders with lean whining beggars were

to have formed part of the
itinerary of a young woman
from Cincinnati; but, since
Miss Bayard had mixed her
self up in it, she was forcibly
carried onward toward the
towering portals of the Kali
Temple. In the dark passage
of the gate there was short
period of frightful squeeze
and turmoil. Then Miss
Bayard was thrust out into
the light of a wide court,
whence descended the long
flights of steps leading to a
sweeping platform. which. in
turn, sloped gently into the
glistening but extremely
dirty Ganges.
AS far as her eyes could
reach vast piles of temples
and palaces rose from both
banks, while thousands of
pilgrims splashed in the life
giving waters. AS the crowd
spread out on the steps. she
was able to dIsentangle her
self, and stood for some
moments as much fascinated
by the scene as she was
confused by her recent ex-
perience. Gazing round at
objects in her immediate
vicinity, her glance fell on
the one she sought, her yogi

He was seated at the head
of the steps, looking stranger

in benedctons the number of copper coins dropped
into his bowl was trustworthy evidence Miss Bayard
on the point of moving forward to attract his
attention when he appeared to recognize her and with
a quick gesture of his arm waved her back AS If to
emphasize this injunction. he half rose and pointed to
the entrance Miss Bayard feeling it best to comply,
about to retreat. when somehow other she was
edged back against wall of the temple.
THEN a curious thing occurred. The wall behind
her seemed to open, two hands graSped her
and before she could make any effort to free herself
she drawn back into total darkness. For the
next few moments she was half dragged halt car
ried, along the slippery pavement of a narrow stone
passage, to be thrust into interior chamber,
with the sound of dooi being bolted upon her re-
treat. Certainly no such situation as this was on
Potter's itinerary.
When Miss Bayard recovered from temporary
shock of surprise and alarm not being of hystercal
nature her first impulse to examine the place in
which she had been made captive. On side be-
tween the wall and the roof space of about foot
admitted half-light and enabled her to judge that
her prison was used as peculiar kind OF lumber
There the sort of miscellaneous collection
of things that might be used in heather religious
procession, including large wooden COW on wheels.
The wooden cow was set against the wall with the
opening beneath the ceiling so Miss Bayard climbed
upon the cow back and tried what lay beyond
AS far as she could make out, the chamber in which
she confined adjoned the sanctuary of the tenn
pie; for she could just the back of the head and
shoulders of an immense stone image. Beyond this
her view did not extend. Apparently no one was in
the sanctuary. So. it was impossible to escape
through the opening and probably useless to call for
assistance, Miss Bayard climbed down from the
wooden cows back to consider her predcament

Was far from satisfactory Whether her prison
would be discovered, and if not what it her
captors intended to do with her, more than
doubtful. Once twice she thought she caught

the hope of haing possible friend But on listening
it was only to meet with disappointment.

The incident of a murderer fondling

DIR. Elwood Worcester was used with
dramatic effect to illustrate the child's
need of care by the founder of the
Emmanuel movement in his lecture for
the benefit of dependent children at
the Valencia theater yesterday after
noon. The criminal had confessed to
the clergyman that he had committed
three cruel murders when the year
old girl came into her fathers study
In the rear of the Emmanuel church
in Boston, and clambered on the mans
knee.
Il could hardly realize said Dr.
Worcester, when l saw the contrast
in the two faces that they belonged to
the same humanity. The man had felt
the spirit of God struggling to enter
his heart for 10 years and had re-
sisted it, and when he looked at the
child he was touched, and. holding her
back from him, said: My God, to
think that l once murdered q little
child as beautiful as your
The recollection OF the incident
caused the speaker to pause in his
lecture. choked with emotion.
DR.. worcester urged parents to be
patient and gentle with the little ones
and not to submit them to experiences
which would inculcate fear into their
hearts. guarding and screening them,
to keep them pure and mild sand low
ing so that their influence for good
would be felt and become potent in
doing good.
Dr. Worcester decried the prevalence
of the nickelodeons, which. he said,
created a new unreal and unbeautiful
world for the child Introducing the e1e-
ment of fear, the basis of all evil. both
physical and physiological, and the
emotion which the Emmanuel instruc-
tors first seek to eliminate from the
minds of sufferers who come to them
for relief.
Faith, DR.. Worcester said, was the
basis of the cures which were erected
by his system. IL a patient can be
made to have faith in a certain doc
tor or certain cure, the doctor or the
cure is likely to succeed. The lecturer
gave instances of faith cure which
were effective, one of these being a
vibration cure" in Baltimore, where
two immense tuning forks are yearly
curing hundreds of people because they
believe they are going to be cured
They are told that these forks are mag
nets and that when they are struck
with hammer the vibrations will en-
velop them and their nervous disor-

The cure must come from within.

church for relief were chronic cases.

Miss Katherine c. FELTON,, who intro
duced DR.. Worcester, made a brief ad-
dress in regard to the work of the

Charities. More than $3.50 was netted
for the children by the lecture, which
was the last to be delivered by DR..
Worcester before his departure.
