English translation OF more Hin

believed he had picked up.
THEN came story from the
! depths of a terrified nature,
which sent the blood tingling in
hot wrath through the doctors
veins. 1t left him without a par
ticle of professional or other care
for the Maharaja; but a vast
amount on behalf of the victim at
his side. This was its substance:
Jareha Bai-the Lady Jareha-
was the youngest wife of the Ma
haraja. She had been brought to
the palace recently, and had barely
set eyes on her aged husband.
Political reasons had prompted her
marriage while the Maharaja was
practically on his deathbed. His
strict adherence to ancient custom
had prompted him to order suttee,*
or widow sacrifice, at his death.
But, as the law of the British was
absolute against widow burning,
he had planned to circumvent it
by other means. Back of the pam
theirs cage was a trap door lead
ing to a small chamber. At the
moment of the Maharaja's death
the trap door was to be raised, and
the panther would find shrinking,
helpless woman. As the Mahara-
jas other wives had declined the
honor,-those of the whispering
voices, doubtless had descend
ed on Jareha Bal, the newcomer.
For her there was no escape, unless
by the skill of the Hakim Sahib.
She had managed to reach the
American doctor by one of the
passages with which the walls of
the palace were honeycombed.
Naturally, the story was told
with stress and emotion family
conveyed by this recital of the
bare facts, and at its conclusion
she had cast her arms about the
doctor, imploring his protection.
For several minutes he sat staring
blankly into space, Mortified at the
thought that upon his word, which
must soon be given. hung her
doom. Presently he pulled himself
together, and, while working his
brain harder than he had ever done
in his life, strove to nerve the
Princess to a realization that her
only chance for life lay in both of
them keeping fear or emotion alb
solutely under control. He was
relieved when a strain of Persian
her veins conquered the terror of a

The Parks crack bowling team de. feated the Arldansaw team by default. Friday evening. It is said that the Ankansaws were apprehensive of de- feat, which accounts for their non. appearance. A rather large crowd was present at the Casino and two teams were formed, one representing Hot Springs and the other Little Rock. It is needless to say that the Springs team won.
 Gene Moorman was star for both sides, with 192 2-3 as average.

CROSSETT WINS

crossett Team Is the Only Team That Has Defeated Little Rock--Have
 Last Hope for Tonight.

Tonight will mark the last chance of the Hot Springs high school basket ball team to claim the championship of the state. last night they met a defeat from the hands of the Crossett high school team, the only team that has defeated Little Rock. Score, 27 to 16.
 The game that was played at the Bijou Rink last night proved a hot contest from start to finish, however, the game opening with a goal for Crossett before thirty seconds of play had expired.
 This was quickly followed by a goal for Hot Springs, made by Posey in a clear, clean shot. During the first half the lead was taken and lost sev- eral times by Hot Springs and at the close of the half Crossett was leading Il to 9.
 The second half frightened the hope of the locals, Ledgerwood scoring a basket from a long shot, tieing the score, but they were quickly down cast, however, for Crossett took the final lead on a foul
 Ledgerwood played we'll for the To- calls, several times taking the ball for run down the court by himself, and handling him man with rare abil. ity.
 Moffatt and Coursin played star games of the visiting team, Moffatt throwing four baskets. Coursin work ed In team work in good time and at all times was where man was need ed.
 The locals loss was largely due to their failure to throw baskets, espe- cially foul baskets, for though several fouls were made they only scored one point from them.
 The rooters' club, which was very much in evidence at the opening of the game to cheer the boys on to vic tory, sat as though they were of stone or were Egyptian mummies resurrect- ed to look at one of the popular sports of the countrywhen the boys began to lose.
 The last chance of the local lads having la chance for the pennant will be decided tonight. when they meet the Crossett team in the final game of the series. All the strength of the lads will bep ut to test tonight in the hope of holding up the honor of the high school when they meet the vis- itors at the popular amusement house. The game will be called promptly at S:S0 o'clock, and be played on the floor of the Bijou skating rink, which has the best floor for indoor athletic sports in the south.

bers of the committee, under the gen 'eral plan suggested in the resolution which created the executive commit. tee on judges and clerks.
 There is not a name on the list than can be objected to by the can. didates from point of honesty. The only complaint that is possible to arise may be because some candidate or bitter partisan was disappointed in not having some other favored name placed on the roster, and it was to prevent favoritism that caused the above to be named.
 When the Garland County Demo cratic Committee meets this afternoon the roster of judges and clerks will be presented for the approval of that major organization. It is not antici. pated that any changes will be made.
 It was reported yesterday that cer- tain political interests were seeking 10 enthuse a sentiment to rescind resolution of the last committee meet ing, which added to the city repre- sentation on the county committee. The object in such an action was not stated. Certainly the city. after be- Ing denied control of it's municipal elections by the removal of the power of the City Central Committee is fair " entitled to increased representa- 'ion on the county organization, which in the future and under the new cleo tion Law must be looked to as author lty in city election matters.
 At any rate the new members Of the committee have been elected af- ter vacancies were declared, have al- ready been in harness, their pres. ehee in the last meeting saved the or. ganization from being dissolved by withdrawals of some old members and their future influence will be of benefit in local political affairs.
