Il want money! want to borrow"
said Amber promptly.
"on your word, sahib?"
"On security"
"Wbs.e manner of security can you
offer?'
"A ring-an emerald ring"
Dhola Baksh shrugged. His eyes
shifted from Amber to the encircling
faces of the bystanders. Il am q poor
man." he whined. "How should l have
money to lend? Come to me on the
morrow; then mayhap I may have a
few rupees. Tonight I have neither
cash nor time"
The hint was lost upon Amber. "A
stone Of price" he persisted.
With disturbed and apprehensive
look, the money lender rose. Come,
then" he S--mbled, eff you must"
A voice cried out behind Amber
"Hehl"-more a squeal than a cry.
Intuitively. as at signal of danger,
he leaped aside. simultaneously
something like beam of light sped
past his head. The goldsmith uttered
one dreadful, choking scream. and
went TO his knees. For as many as
three seconds he swayed back and
forth, his features terribly contorted,
his thin old hands pluckng at the
handle of broadbladed dagger which
had transfxed his throat. Then he
tumbled forward on his face, kicking.
There followed a single instant of
suspense and horror, then a mad rush
of feet as the street stampeded into
the shop. Voices clamored to the
skies. Somehow the lights went out.
Amber started to fight his way out.
AS he struggled on, making little
headway through the press, hand
grasped his arm and drew him an
other way.
Make haste, hazoor!" cried the
owner of the hand, In Hindustani.
Make haste, lest they seek to fasten
this crime upon your head"

Signal Towers to Aid Rangers.

ol9Udt OWCTS 70 Fiu HdFGCIe
Wisconsin will be the first %
western states to use signal
towers as an aid to prevention OF for
est fires. State Forester E. NJ. Grit
fiths upon his return from trip 10
northern Wisconsin made known
plans for the immediate erection OF
six steel towers. similar to windmills,
at as many high points of land in the
state forest reserves in Villas and adj
joining counties. They win be con
structed on concrete bases.
A platform at the top of the towers
will be inclosed with string OF wires
stretched at right angles to form
squares, each wire to be numbered
At dry periods forest rangers will be
stationed in the towers to search the
landscape Tor 20 L. les around for
smoke from forest fires. When smoke
is discovered, the watcher win denote
its position with respect to the cross
ing of two of the wires in his lookout,
and a map at hand will tell him in a
moment the corresponding position OF
the smoke as to town and range num-
bers. A telephone will be installed in
the tower, and the watcher viii be-
enabled TO call up his associate
rangers nearest to the fire, who wiz
take steps to extinguish the fire at
once.
This method of prevention, which
is entirely new in this part OF the
United States, has been tried in Maine
with marked efficiency. Its success in
Villas county is believed to be assured
also.
The building of fire lines is going
on rapidly in the states reserves. A
strip of woods not exceeding % feet
wide is cleared, the strip extending
usually from lake TO lake, thousands
of which dot the region named, The
fire lines are intended to prevent the
spread of surface fires and also give
the patrols a vantage point from
which they may fight the flames. Each
ranger is given one and one-half town

rangers cabins. now being built. win

he had flung the man off and bounded
to his feet. There was the automatic
pistol in his coat pocket, but, he, con-
scious that many hands were reaching
out in the darkness TO drag him down
again, found no time to draw 1t. He
seemed to feel the presence of the
nearest antagonist, whom he could by
no means see; for he struck out with
both bare, clenched fists, one after
the other, with his weight behind
each, and both blows landed. The
room rang with the sounds of the
struggle, the shuttle, thud, and scrape
of feet both booted and bare, the
hoarse, harsh breathing of the com
batants, their groans, their whispers,
their low, tense cries.
And abruptly It was over. He was
borne down by sheer weight of num-
bers. Though nc fought with the
insanity of despair they were too
many for him. He went a second
time to the floor, beneath a dozen half
nude bodies. Below him lay another,
with an arm encircling his throat, the
elbow beneath his chin COMPRISING
his windpipe Powerless to move
hand or foot, he gave up and
wondered duly why it was that a
knife ha6 not been slipped between
his ribs-between the fifth and sixth
or in his back, beneath the left
shoulder blade. and why his gullet re-
manned unslit.
Gradually it was forced upon him
that his captors meant him no bodily
harm, for the present at least His
wrath subsidized and gave place to cu-
riosity while he rested, regaining his
wind, and the natives sQuirmed away
from him, leaving one man kneeling
upon mis- chest and four others each
pinioning a limb.

Denies Fire Loss Has Been Reduced.

ANY claim that the fire loss
in this state has been reduced re-
Gently is absolutely without founda-
tion.7 is statement made by Her
man l.. Ekern, commissioner OF in
surance, in the forty-second annual
report of the state Insurance depart
ment submitted TO Governor Nc

That part of the excessive losses
paid last year, which, according to the
report. was 529,142.S7. was due To.
the extremely dry season and that the.
element Of arson was not large fac
tor are other points made.
The conclusion reached is that the
excessive loss is largely due to de-
fects in plans and construction and
perhaps in a large part TO a lack Of
recognition of duty and of informa-
ton In regard to the prevention OF
fires.

gardlessly thr, -gh the vicious mud Of
the unpayed byway.
BY now the voice OF the chase had
subsidized to 9 duh and distant NUT
tering far behind them, and the way
was clear. Beyond its sge-old, inerad-
icable atmosphere OF secret infamy
there was nothing threatening IN the
aspect OF the neighborhood- And the
gurkha pulled up, breathing Ike a
wind-broken horse.
Easily. hazoori" he gasped. There
is time for rest"
Willingly Amber dropped into a
wavering stride, so nearly exhausted
that his legs shook under him, and
he reeled drunkenly; and, fighting for
breath. they stumbled on, side by side.
in the shadow OF the overhanging
walls. until as they neared a corner
the gurkha halted Amber with an i'm
perative gesture.
The police. sahib, the police!" he
breathed, with an expressive sweep
Of his hand toward the cross street.
Let Us wait here till they pass" And
In evident panic he crowded Amber
into the deep and gloomy recess az
forded by a door overhung by a bal
cony.
Taken of his guard, but with grow
ing doubt, Amber was on the point Of
demonstrating. Why should the police
concern themselves with peaceful
wayfarers? They could not yet have
heard of the crime in the Bazaar, miles
distant But as he opened his lips
he heard the latch click behind him,
and before he could lift a finger the
gurkha had flung himself bodily upon
him, fairly lifting the American across
the theshold.
They went down together, the
glrkha on top. And the door crashed
to with rattle of bolts, leaving Am
Der on his back. in total darkness, be
trayed, lost, and alone with his enc
mics.
Amber went temporarily mad with
rage. He was no stranger to fear
no man with an imagination is; but
for the time being he was utterly fool
hardy He forgot his exhaustion, for
got the hopelessness Of his plight, for.
got everything save his Unsuitable
thirst for vengeance. He was, in our
homely idiom, fighting-mad.
One instant overpowered by and
supine beneath the gurkha. the next
