Has Remarkable History That VIII
Strike the Reader as Being TypL
eaIly Russian.

The Kamaouiie Koloko. or BELL
With the Ear Torn on" had most
romantic history. In the sixteenth
century Prince Dimitri. the rightful
heir TO the Russian throne. was de-
posed by a revolt led by Boris Godun-
off. who was afterward proclaimed
car. The seat OF government was
then at Uglich and thither Dimitri was
sent. in order that he might remain
under the direct observation OF the
usurper.
Boris, fearing that the populace
might awake to the justice Of the
claims of the young prince. planned
the assassination of Dimitri. He was
one day stabbed in courtyard. None
of the bystanders showed any disposi-
ton to aid him. A priest, however.
from the cathedral belfry, saw the
crime and Immediately began tolling
the great bell. which was held sacred
and rung only on unusual occasions.

HH Bell of Tragic Memories

such as at a coronation or tho death Of
a czar.
Furious at this tacit expression OF
reproach. the car commanded that the
priest should be tortured an3 executed
and thai the bell should be taken down
and placed beside the body of It's
ringer. This order was fulfilled. and
the bell was beaten with clubs by the
entire populace. the Gar Boris being
at their head.
The car then decreed that the bell
should be exiled to Tobolsk and that
one OF its hangers be removed to in
dictate its isgrace.-Harper's Weekly.

looked more like a fine hexagonal OF

From this bazaar he passed on into

CHAPTER vIil.-(continued.)


What to do? unused the rogue. On
the morrow Mr.. Jones would leave for
Port Said. Ryanne shook his head
and with his cane beat a light tattoo
against the side OF his shin. Abduc.
ton was rather out of his sphere OF
action. And yet. the suppression Of
PercivaI was by all odds the most I'm
portant move to be made. He had
volunteered this service and accom-.
plish II he must. in face OF all obsta.
cles, or poof! went the whole droll
fabric. For to him II was droll, and
never II rose in his mind that he did
not chuckle saturninely. II was a
kind OF nightmare where one hung In
mid air. ones toes jus. beyond the
flaming dragons jaws. The rewards
would be enormous. but these he
would gladly surrender for the su.
preme satisfaction of turning the
poisoned arrow in the heart of that
canting hypocrite. that SNUG church
deacon. the sanctimonious. the sleek,
the wefl-fed first-born. And poor Per.
cival Aigernon, for no blame of his
own. must be taken by the scruff of
his neck and thrust bodily into this
tangled web OF scheme and under.
scheme. II was infinitely humorous.
He had had a vague plan regarding
Mahomed. guardian of the Holy Yhi.
ordes. but ii was not possible for him
TO be in Cairo at this early date. That
he would eventually appear Ryanne
never doubted. He knew the Oriental
mind. Mahomed-El-G would cross
every barrier less effective than death.
II was a serious matter to the Mos
lem. II he returned to the palace at
Bagdad, minus the rug, 1t would mean
free transportation to the Arabian
gulf. bereft OF the most important
part OF his excellent anatomy. his
head. Some day, II he lived, Ryanne
intended telling the exploit to some
clever chap who wrote: It would look
rather we'll in print.
To turn Mahomed against Percival
as being the instigator would be an
adroit bit of work; and II would rid
him of both OF them. Gioconda said
that she wanted no rough work. How
like a woman! Here was a mans
game. a desperate one: and Giocon.

inspiration. wanted II handled with

Luminous Metal Discovered.

For generations the peasants Of
Cornwall have handed down legend
that at night there may be seen a
family luminous metal among the
rocks brought from the mines OF the
county. A British scientist has proved
that this story is by no means based
on Imagination. A specimen OF the
mineral autunite. which is also found
in Wales, was sent to him from Portu-

gal because of its shining character.
He finds that 1t closely resembles ar
tifcially prepared salts Of uranium.
and that lis luminosity is due to spon-
taneous radio-activity. The light It
sheds is stronger than that Of nitrate
OF uranium. Upon parting with its wa.
ter of capitalization the metal loses
its luminosity.
