felt like himself for the first time in
Ave days when, shaved and dressed,
he returned to the common living
room Of the resthouse.
The girl kept him waiting but a lit
tie while. Lacking the attentions Of
an ayah, she had probably been un-
able to battle so extensively as he,
but eventually she appeared in an i'm
measurably more happy state of body
and mind, calling up to him the sim

that ingenuouSly enough succeeded
in entangling him more thoroughly

at the beginning sufficiently gay and
inconsequent, drifted by imper-
ceptible and unsupported gradations
perilously close to the shoals Of In
timacy. And subsequently, when they
had packed themselves back into the
narrow tonga seat and again we're be-

over shocking roads. the exchange Of
condolences continued with undated
interest.
For all the faint upon her pedi.

as though he had deliberately made

"Ah, that Voice!" cried Amber in
evaporation. Il grow weary Of the
word. Ram Nath."

man, imperturbable. None the less
It were we'll for you to have a care

II think you have eyes in the back
OF your head, Ram Nath." Amber
withdrew his hand from his coat
pocket and laughed shortly as he
spoke.
There is a saying in this country,
sahib. that even the stones in the
desert have ears to hear and eyes to
see and tongues withal to tell what
they have seen and heard"
"Ah-h! That is wise say
ing. Ram Nath."
There be those could name who
would do we'll to lay that saying to
heart, sahib."
"You are right, indeed. Now

ing, and If one were unwisely to
speak a certain name, even here"
1.-THE echo of that name might be
heard beyond the threshold Of a GER
tain Gateway. sahib."
Amber grunted and said no more,
contented now with the assurance
that he was in truth in touch with
Labertouche, that this Ram Nath was
en- employee of the /. s. s. The wink
was now explained away with all the
rest of the tonga-wallah's churlish'
ness.
AS the tonga swiftly lessened the dis
lance, his gaze, penetrating the thin
ming folds, discerned the contours OF
a cotton-wain drawn by twin stunted
bullocks, patient noses to the ground,
tails a-switch. Beside his cattle the
driver plodded, goad in hand, naked
sword upon his hip.
Deliberately enough the carter
swerved his beasts aside to make way
for the tonga, lest by undue haste he
should make himself seem other than
what he was-a free man and
Rajput. But when his fierce, hawk
like eyes encountered those of the
dak traveller, his attitude changed Gu
riously and completely. Recognition
and reverence fought with surprise in
his expression. and as Ram Nath
swung the tonga past the man sa-
1aamed profoundly. His voice, as he
rose, came after them, resonant and
clear:
Hail, thou Chosen of the Gateway!
HALL"
Amber neither turned to look nor
replied. But his frown deepened. The
incident passed into his history,
marked only by the terse comment II
adduced from Ram Nath-words which
were flung CURLY over the tonga
wallah's shoulder: Eyes to see and
ears to hear and a tongue withal :.
&. sahib!"
The Virginian said nothing. But II
was in his mind that he had indeed
thrust his head into the lions mouth
by thus adventuring into the terri
tory which every instinct of caution
and common-sense proclaimed taboo
to him-the erstwhile kingdom Of the
Maharana Har Dyal Rutton.

UNITED PRESS LEASED w1RE.I

Washington, July 27.-"The pres

Controller bay matter shows how
hard it is to make a good excuse for
bad mistake" was the comment
here today of former Chief United
States Forester Clifford Pinchot on
President Taft's message to congress.
at leaves the matter wholly un-
| touched" PinchOt continued. I'm
spite of his explanation, the fact re-
mains that President Taft, by open
ing the lands around Controller bay,
without notice to the public, has
given the interests behind Richard s.
Ryan the opportunity to acquire the
KEY channel to Controller bay be-
fore the public knew what was going
on. The Ballinger-Pinchot investi-
cation opened the eyes of the public
to the extensive and successful eff
forts being made mOnopolize the
resources of Alaska.
"The facts developed there con-
tanned a solemn warning, a call on
the executive for special watchful-
ness in protecting the public proper
| ty in Alaska.
"In view of the needs Of a firm
and careful policy thus emphasized,
It was the presidents duty to hold
the terminal land sat Controller bay
in government ownership. AS with
the coal lands, the title to the har-
| Dor lands, which are the key to the
coal lands, should have been held, in

"The president denied any element
of secrecy. He does not mention
that on the day he signed the order
Ryan's surveying party was already
in Alaska, and that by November 1,
four days after the order was made,
and before the government officials
in Alaska were notified of that or
der. the survey of the Ryan claims
was begun.
"The omission Of the customary
30 days notice to the public gave
Ryan what he wanted. 1t cut off all
chance for competitors to locate on
the terminal lands until after Ryan's
selection was made.
Possibly the protests already
made may save the situation. In any
case the unfortunate friends Of con-
servation, in their efforts to bring de-
velopment to Alaska for the benefit
Of the people, are continually obliged
to expend their strength against the
men who should he the protectors
of the peoples property. It looks
like an unnecessary duplication of
work when we must fire at the po-
liceman before we get a chance to
stop the looting"
Senator Poindexter, of Washing
ton, whose resolution called forth
the presidents special message on
the Controller bay situation, said to-
day that the explanation had failed
to explain.

Seattle, Wn., July 27.-The move
ment for an Alaskan coal mining
commission, to superintend the min
ing and delivery of coal from the
government beds in Alaska, and its
sale at cost to the people has been
taken up by the people of Tacoma
and Seattle and thousands Of names
have already been secured.
Mayor Dilling and the councilmen
Of Seattle have headed petitions; the
entire official list of Tacoma has
backed the plan, and as soon as Gov
ernor Hay returns from the northern
trip he is making, his endorsement
is expected. especially since Cover
nor West, of Oregon, is boosting the
plan to have coast-wide cooperation
from the governors of all the Pacific
states.
The petitions now being circulated
in the Sound cities ask that Everett,
Seattle, Tacoma and Grays Harbor be
made bunker stations, where the
government coal can be unloaded for
local consumption, and interior ship
ment.
Seattle is especially interested in
this movement because it is believed
that with high grade Alaska coal de-
livered at cost to the Sound, the
coaIing problem for the Pacific coast
fleet will be solved, and the Brem-
erton naval station made the big
one of the coast.

WILL NOT
STAND FOR
ROBBERY
SECRETARY OLCOTT WANTS TO
PATRONIZE OREGON FIRMS
BUT THE DESIRE is NOT
STRONG ENOUGH TO STAND
I FOR EXTORTION.

Because of an agreement existing
among Portland firms which handle
supplies for the offices at the capitol
building relative to the price to be
charged for them, Secretary of State
Olcott is seriously considering the
advisibility in the future of sending
his orders for the supplies to some
firm outside of the state and will
likely today write the firms advising
them unless they will furnish the
supplies at rates charged elsewhere
that he will do so.
He first ran up against the COM
bine several weeks ago when he
asked for bids from the firms rela-
tive to some supplies. To his sur
prise when he opened them he found
them all alike. AS the supplies were
needed at once, and he had no time
to send elsewhere for them, he
awarded the contract by having
clerks in his Office draw straws.
Since then he has been making in
vestigations as to the prices charged
for supplies in general by eastern
firms and has about decided that un-
less Portland firms show a disposi-
tion to sell their goods to the state
for a price somewhat within range
of them that he will arrange matters
so that he can send his orders to
eastern firms.

man, whose name appears to be Sgd

Investigation today failed to de-
velop any reasonable motive for the
murder. Friends OF the dead wo-
man, who worked in the Office Of

never saw Cole before. Otis w.

co, viewed the remains Of the mur-
derer, who was killed in a battle with
the police, and asserted that the man
Is total stranger to him.
John Mcnamara, a machinist, told

be, two weeks ago, and quite often
saw him in saloons. Cole, the police
say, drank heavily.
