And the silence was more awful than be-

"And, please God, she never shall be left out

against her hair.
And all other silences were as nothing
nothing whatever-to that minute. 1t was
bottomless.

him there Immediately the antagonists
became the center of huge circle, the inner
immovable ring composed of squattlng war
riors, the outer and shifting one of those who
had not been so quick to grasp the situation
and were now jostIng for good positions.
Pr Mahomed, busily misapplylng some
of his knowledge of Feringee customs, was
spinning a rupee to decide which of the two
Mullahs should fight with the sunlight in his
eyes, and when the coin came down he placed
his foot on it, did the guessing himself, and
abandoned the matter at that critical point
The padre scarcely understood what was
expected of him until he found knife thrust
into one of his hands, and shield into the
other 1t was a tough and battle SCARED
shield with copper bosses, hard as iron,
though it was made of layer upon layer OF
leather and weighed close upon twenty
pounds Then he saw that the Mullah was
lp again, and similarly armed. He knew
that to decline the combat would be worse
than useless. He was not a man OF war; but
he had no fancy to be killed like a beast in
the SHAMELESS 1t was characteristic of him
that he never hesitated for an instant.
Whether he would ever return to those merry
comrades of the mess table, and to his wlltul,
hot blooded tender hearted boys IN the
ranks, he did not know. 1t might well be

forever from the green haven OF the old coun-
try, and that not again would his ears be
g1addened by the dear soft speech of it that
coaxed and prevaricated by turns. These
things he made over to the mercy of the Al
mighty. There remained that which he had
no desire to evade. He turned to Pr Maho
med, and spoke of terms in the hearing of all.
"If be victor, then am your Mullah, in
place of him who shall fall, and by me shalt
thou and thy people be guided! Is it so,
Sirdar Sahib? Upon thy word be it,
Pr Mahomed struck his hands together
and reeled off the hating words of the pro-
posal al the full pitch of his sonorous voice:
1t appealed to the childlike imagination of
the big hillmen, and there rose up unani-
nous shout of reclamation.
The Bori Mullah grinned horribly. He
knew the assent was the more ready because
his victory was never doubted. The task
before him was a very congenial one, and
when it was done his power with the tribe
would be increased hundredfold.

had been given him to its owner, signify

tiful it would be. if every day-every day
could be like this! The dearest woman in the
world-that's your mother, Barbara. And
the incest little girl-that' S you. And the
happiest man that ever lived his voice

through. THAT would be |, you know, if

Just how beautiful he would have made it,
nobody knows; for just then Barbara said,

"Yes!" he assured her. "Of course! And
then nobody would be lonely And you
could get married. ultimately; there is no
cause for hurry, in your case, SO far as | can
see-and not feel that-that she would be

"Shel"
1t was the faintest whisper from across
the room. Frelinghuysen heard tor says
he did. Barbara did not. And Barbara's
mother insists that it was still, small voice
in the bachelors guilty heart. At any rate,
drawing Barbara back into his arms for COM
fort, Frelinghuysen whispered in her ear:
what do you say?'
her arms about his neck. "What do you
say, Mama?'
Frelinghuysen trembled from head to foot.
But, suffering though he was, obviously,
Barbara never gave one thought to him.
Slipping from his knees, she ran swiftly
across the room?
Don't cry, Manual"
Pale as ghost, the bachelor rose and fol-
lowed her. "Oh, my dear-rny dear" he
said appealingly.
To his amazement, Barbara's mother
would not even look at him. And there he
stood, ashamed, remorseful, terrified, in the
center of the room; while, with her arms
about her child, and her face, red as rose
against those golden tresses, she said softly:
Barbara, darling-tell hirn-tell that
dreadful man to go away! And not to come
back till-half-past eight tonight. Remem-

ing that he would retain only the shield.
The attention of the assembly was at once
directed to the Mullah. He paused for
moment, and then flung away his shield.
There was a roar of approving laughter. and
in the midst of it he began to make his adj
vance without waiting for the signal that
Pr Mahomed was so desperately anxious to
give.
The padre stood with his left foot forward,
the weight of the body poised over it so that
he could swing swiftly to and fro. The shield
was advanced over his left arm, playing
easily up and down. His right hand was
clenched and the arm held down and back
so as to be beyond the reach of the knife, vet
ready for forward thrust or swing.
The Bori Mullah was just beginning to
realize that the time of his life had arrived,
that Fate was giving him a priceless oppor-
tunity which must not be recklessly squan-
dered. Like all savages he had an innate
sense of dramatic values. The eyes of the
tribe were upon him with nothing of more
Importance than the foolishly daring victim
to distract them. He was going to give them
a show display that would make talk
around the campfires throughout the coun-
trysde. There were no more frenZied at
tempts to cut up the Feringee and make an
end of the business. The Mullah was prov
ing himself an artist in using his chance deli
cately, and making the utmost of it. He
stood sweeping his knife round his head until
it whistled through the air. The blade ap-
preached the padre. 1t threatened one side,
and, when that was covered by quick turn,
the Mullah would spring to the other side
and make as though to strike there. He
crouched, as though to deliver the terrible
upward stroke that never needs to be fol-
lowed by another. He was trying to confuse
his enemy and to harass the defense; but al
ways the defense was ready and prepared.
Very soon he discovered that he accom-
plished nothing; because he could not rather
than because he would not. The GOODNESS
and success with which the padre was meet
ing his ferocious knifeplay gave him the first
hint that something like real contest was
to follow. Apparently there was no reason
to spin out the preliminaries. He came to
that conclusion even before the onlookers
had begun to voice their appreciation of the
entirely novel spectacle of skilled and stub
born resistance.
For ten minutes, feint succeeded feint, the
giant Mulah seeking vainly for an opening,

A late bulletin issued by the statis-
tical department of the Government
makes a wonderful showing as to the
advance irrigation has made in this
state. In the 20 years from 1889 to
1909 the number of irrigated farms
increased from 3, 514 to 7,4O4, an in
crease of ITO percent. The irrigation
acreage increased from 135, 47O acres
to 334, 378 acres, an increase of 146 per
cent. 1t shows that there are 1888
different irrigation enterprises large
and small. The lenght OF bitches in
miles is 3, $50. There are 156 reser-
voirs with capacity (acre feet) of
121, 545. The cost of these systems
have increased from 81, 722, 1906 to SIS, =
OLA, 900 an increase of I'll per cent.
The average cost per acre has increased
from ST., 256 to $31. 81 and the annual
cost of maintenance is fixed at 50. O8.

One of the most important bills be-
fore the Post Office Committee is that
known as the Lewis bill. This pro-
vides that the government take over
all the express companies and thus
establish thorough up to date parcels
post system. The country is not yet
ready for this drastic measure, but
the theory is right, and sooner or
later it will prevail. The hearing be-
fore the subcommittee on Post Office
and Post Roads has brought out some
startling disclosures. 1t was shown
that the average charge for carrying a
ton of express in the European coun-
tries is So. II while in the United
States it is $31. 20. 1t was also shown
that less than 100 pounds per capita
is transported in the United States
per annum by express, while in Europe
it is more than 200 pounds per capita.
The only method by which the plan
of Mr.. Lewis can be installed would
be to issue bonds and pay reasonable
amount to the express companies for
their rights. They are capitalized for
a very small per centage Of the bust
ness they transact. We believe the
railroads will favor this movement, as
they obtain little in proportion to
the amount paid for carrying the ex
press
