OF a steamer from Bombay. has been
sojourninE In the city, cherishing a
huge pith helmet which he wore to
protect him from the sun and which
once crowned the Captain Sahib. and
wondering why he ever lost his way
In, New York on the subway
According to the story Abdul told
through an interpreter at the Chill
drens Society while his teeth chat
tered with the cold, he left his steam
er one night to puchase some Ameri-
can soap. In his pocket he had a
months wages In the form Of a gold
sovereign bearing the head OF George,
Emperor OF India.
Wandering aolng the wharyes after
losing himself in the hazars of South

took him TO sailormau's hotel Here
Abdul lived well on curry and rice un-
iii his pound was spent After that
he worked for his board aud room.
until last week he was told to shift
for himself
Abdul haunted the wharf where mis-
ship had been tied up. but learning
that she had departed and would be
gone over q month he sadly started
uptown, still wearing the big plth he'll
met Of his Captain Sahib. For four
days Abdul ate neither rice nor curry,
which means he ate nothing at all lie

undue attention, and decided to aban-
don the helmet When he quietly
dropped il Officer Richard Burns po-
litely returned it TO Abdul Where
upon Abdul spurned il. and tried to
explain TO the patrolman in his best
Hindustni that the weather was too
cold for such an enormous lid.

AduIatlon pleased Rousseau.

Rousseau, whose bicentenary cele-

he visited England in 1855. Rousseau

crowds when he first arrived in Lon.

admiration lasted he was contented
and happy. Garrick not only gave a
supper in his honor, but played two

ELECTRIC LIGHT IN DENMARK
Every Town In That Country Of Over
5000 Population Has
Public Service.

According to recent information
about the progress of electric light
and power industries in Denmark, 1t
appears that all the towns of 5000
inhabitants and over are now provid-
ed with public electric service, says
the Scientific American. AS to towns
having between 5000 and 5000 inhab-
itants, there are only three In which
electric mains are not installed, so
that 1t will be seen that Denmark Is
one of the most progressive countries
in this respect. The largest sized cleo
trio stations are to be found at Co
penhagen and at present there are
three large plants In operation giving
a total of $4,000 horse power. Cur
rent is supplied for the city mains,
as we'll as for the tramway lines. AS
regards the Danish stations In small
towns, In general each town has Its
own plant, and there Is but one ex'
ample of an intercommunal system
This is at Skovshoved, near Copenha
gen, and the central station extends
its power lines over all the suburban
regions, also supplying the tramways
of Hellerup and Klampenburg. In
most of the town electric stations the
Diesel heavy oil engine is used

Hannibal as before, and he returned
to his consideration Of the Judge. He
sensed something of that intellectual
nimbleness which his patrons physical
makeup in nowise suggested. since
his face was a mask that usually left
one in doubt as to just how much OF
what he heard succeeded in making
its impression on him; but the boy
knew that Slocum Prices blind side
was shelterless exposure.
You don't think the carriage could
have passed us while we were cross
ing the corn-held?" said Betty.
mo, reckon we couldn't a-missed
hearing It," answered Hannibal. He
had scarcely spoken when they
caught the rattle OF wheels and the
beat OF hoofs These sounds swept
nearer and nearer, and the darkness
disgorged the Belle Plain team and
carriage.
"George!" cried Betty. q world OF
relief in her tones.
Whoa, you'll" and George refined In
his horses with jerk. who's darY'
he asked, bending forward on the box
as he sought to pierce the darkness
with his glance.

"Oh, 1t you, Missy?"
"Yes, | wish you to drive me into
Raleigh" said Betty, and she and Han
nibal entered the carriage.
"All right, Missy. Yo'-all ready TO
me to go along out g here?"
"Yes-drive fast, George!" urged
Betty.

He had turned his horses heads in
the direction Of Raleigh while he was
speaking. It's scandalous black in

The carriage swung forward for per
haps hundred years. then suddenly
the horses came to a dead stop.
go along on, dar!" cried George
and struck them with his whip, but
the horses only reared and plunged.
Hold on, nigger!" said rough
voice out of the darkness.
What yo' doin'?" the coachman
gasped. Don yo' know dis de Belle
Plain carriage? Take yo' hans often
dem bosses bits!"
Two men stepped to the side OF the
carriage.
SHOW your light, Bunker" said the
same rough voice that had spoken be
fore. Instantly hooded lantern was
uncovered, and Hannibal uttered cry
of terror. He was looking into the
face of Slosson. the tavern-keeper.

and, white and slim. rested against
the black fabric OF her dress.
Don't you be scared. Miss Betty!"
said Hannibal.
They went silently from the house
and again crossed the lawn to the ter
race. Under the leafy arch which can
opted them there was already the
deep purple OF twilight.
DO you reckon 1t were Captain
Murrell shot Mr.. Norton, Miss Bet
ty?" asked Hannibal In a shuddering
whisper
"Hush-Oh, hush. Hannibal! 1t is
too awful to even speak Of" and.
sobbing and half hysterical, she COW
cred her face with her hands.
But where are we going, Miss
Betty?" asked the boy.
Il don't know, dear!" She had an
agonizing sense of the nights ap-
proach and OF her own utter helpless
ness.
I'll tell you what, Miss Betty, let's

he amt afraid OF nothing? We could
walk to Raleigh easy If you don't want
your niggers to hook up aeteam for

Betty suddenly remembered the car
riage which had taken the Judge into
town; she was sure 1t had not yet re-
turned.

they passed up the path that edged
the bayou; at the head OF the inlet
they entered clearing, and crossing
this they came to the corn-tield which
lay between the house and the high
road. Following one Of the shock
rows they hurried to the mouth OF the
lane.
Hannibal, don't want to tell the
Judge why l am leaving Belle Plain
about the woman, mean," said
Betty.
You reckon they'd kill her, don't
you, Miss Betty, If they knew what
she'd done?" speculated the boy. 1t
occurred to him that an adequate ex-
PLANTATION of their flight would require
preparation, since the Judge was at
all times singularly alive to the slight
est discrepancy OF statement. They
had issued from the corn-tield and
went along the road toward Raleigh.
Suddenly Betty paused.
"Hark!" she whispered.
1T were nothing, Miss Betty" said
Hannibal reassuringly. and they hur-
ried forward again. In the utter still.
ness through which they moved Betty
heard the beating Of her own heart
and the soft and all but inaudible pat
ter OF the boys bare feet on the warm
dust Of the road. Vague forms that
resolved themselves into trees and
bushes seemed to creep toward them
out of the nights black uncertainty

CHAPTER XVIII (continued).

Whatever the promptings that In
spired this warning, they plainly had
nothing to do with either liking or
sympathy. Her dominating emotion
seemed to be a sullen sort OF resent
uient which lit up her glance with
0nll fire; yet her feelings were so
dearly and SO keenly personal that
Betty understood the motive that had
brought her there. The explanation,
abe found, left her wondering just
where and how her own fate was
linked with that of this poor white.
"You have been waiting some time
10 see me?" she asked.
Ever since along about noon"
You were afraid to come to the
house,"
Il didn't want to be seen there"
And yet you knew | was alone"
"Alone-but how do you know who's
watching the placer"
do you think there was reason to
be afraid OF that?" asked Betty.
Again the girl stamped her foot
with angry Impotence.
You're just wastin' time-1ust fool
In it away-and you amt got none to
spare!"
You must tell me what | have to
fear-I must know more or l shall
stay Just where | ami"
We'll, then, stay!" The girl turned
away, and then as quickly turned back
and faced Betty once more. Il reckon
he'd kill me II he knew reckon

"Of whom are you speakingY"
He'll have you away from here to-
night"
He? who ana

A SILVER passed through Betty. She
was seeing it all again-Charley as ne
groped among the graves with the
hand of death heavy upon him.
A moment later she was alone. The
girl had disappeared. There were only
the shifting shadows as the wind
tossed the branches OF the trees, and
the hands of golden light that slanted
nlong the empty path. The fear OF
the unknown leaped up afresh In Bet
TVS soul: in an instant flying feet had
horne her to the boys side

"What is it. Miss Betty? What's
the matter?" asked Hannibal as they
aed panting up the terraces.
81 don't know-oniy we must gel

cant" Then, seeing the look OF alarm
on the chiId's face, she added more
ou,etly. Don't be frightened dear
univ we must go away from Belle
plain AT once." But where they were
to go. she had not considered.
Reaching the house, they stole u
