leaping flame, Paul saw, with startling
suddenness, the head and shoulders of
a white-bearded old man emerge from
the obscurity. 1t was the astrologer,
whom, hidden as he was in the
shadows, Paul had not at first seen.
He was incredibly old, and his aspect
was incredibly evil. In the deep fur
rows stamped into his face one might
have read the story of a life given up
to wickedness. Paul shuddered at the
sight of the man, but could not turn
his eyes from this bideous apparition.
Evidently there vas more than in
cense in the bowl. for the smell of
fragrant coffee now assailed Pauls
nostrils, and the secretary, stepping
toward the Jam, proffered him a tiny
cup of the liquid. The prince grunted
and began slipping noisiiy. The other
cup Ramchundra handed to Paul; in
the darkness Paul could make out a
meaning look upon the secretary's
face. The mans hand, too, shook as
he handed it to him. Despite their I'M
derstanding Paul seemed to sense
treachery in the air. But there was
nothing to be done now, nor any going
back. He had trusted himself to Ram
chundra and must follow the path on
which he had entered. He tasted the
coffee cautiously; there was no flavor
or odor of any foreign drug, and
hashish, he had understood, was in.
tensely bitter. Smiling at his fears,
he set the empty cup upon an inlaid
table, and saw Ramchundra obse-
quiously take the other empty cup
from the jam. And now there re-
manned nothing but to wait until the
drug took effect on the unstable ruler
Presently .PauPs eyes became accus-
toned to the darkness. He saw the
dim figure of the old astrologer clear
ly outlined now, and the jam, seated
motionless in his chair, and Ramchun-
dra at his side. The princes lethargy
seemed to indicate that the drug was
beginning to take effect on him. Pres
emily the astrologer beckoned to the
three men to draw up their chairs.
They did SO. Paul had expected that
the old man would address them In
his own language, of which he under.

to be man in full possession Of his
senses, he will in reality be nothing
more than an automaton."
Paul nodded vaguely. The dimness,
the scent of the incense, the uncanni-
ness of his surroundings had reduced
him, also, to a lethargic condition. He
could summon no resolution to his
aid. He tried to think connectedly,
but series of dream visions fioated
before his eyes, and for all his efforts
he could see nothing but the two apes
chasing each other along the house
tops and the slim hand that opened
and closed the shutter. He heard the
astrologer's voice from afar off.
"Our friend is somewhat wearied,"
he said. Perhaps, if were to show
him the events Of the Durbar, as they
VIII actually occur, photographed up
on the crystal by the protective power
Of thought, he will be able to concen-
trate better"
"a good ideal" exclaimed the secre-
tary. "His highness, my beloved mas
ter, will not awake for little while.
And I believe" he added to the astrol-
oyer, "that you can show our friend a
complete panorama of the Durbar, as
it will appear, during the hundredth
part Of second?"
Time is not measured by mo-
ments," answered the astrologer SEN
tentiously, and stopped and picked UP
the crystal. He handed 1t to Ram
chundra, who placed it in Paul's hand.
Then, to Paul's utter establishment,
! out of the clear glass flashed forth
figures of men riding, camels and ele,
plants, and white forest of tents. He
uttered an exclamation Of amazement,
and the astrologer's soothing tones
fell on his ear.
Have no fear" said the old,
grooming voice. "This is not magic,
nor any device of the Evil One. 1t is
nothing but projection Of your OWL
thoughts, mirrored upon the glass,
and is trick we'll known In many
western lands Look, now! Look
closely, before the prince awakes!"
ut is merely a series Of mind
images" said the secretary, watching
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-11-07

to enjoy and wrangle over their booty.
The shutter closed and the hand was
withdrawn. How many secret lives
were spent thus, in the women's quar-
tiers in the upper stories of these Ill
smelling, unsanitary, secluded houses!
1t seemed a place of mysteries. In
stinctively Paul's thoughts went back
to the unknown woman who bad
drawn him from America to engage In
this series Of improbable adventures.
Every fiber of his being thrilled at
the thought of her. But he must not
let his thoughts linger there. When
his mission had been brought to a sue
cessful termination, then he would
have earned the right to convert his
oft-repeated request to Rosny into a
command. Till then
He followed the Hindoo into an
apartment on the ground floor and
stumbled into almost complete obscur-
ity, except for the glow Of a small
brazier in one corner, in which In.
cense was burning. Somebody came
forward and grasped his hand. 1t was
Ramchundra, and he led Paul to a
large, ornate chair, beneath the small
aperture high in the wall which served
for a window. In the chair sat fat
man in a long cloak, now thrown open
carelessly. This was the Jam of Nag.
shipur, and beneath his outer garment
Paul could see the brilliant uniform OF
his order, which his religion forbade
him to cast aside when he left the en-.
closure of the palace. The Jam grunt.
ed and, paying Paul no further at.
tention, fixed his gaze upon the
brazier. And now, behind the tiny,
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1913-11-07

stood not word; instead, he began
speaking in excellent English, glanc-
ing at glass crystal which he held
in his hand.
"The heavens are favorable" he be-
gan, in a low, croaking utterance.
Your project is already assured of
success. Look into the crystal"
He addressed himself to the jam,
who mumbled lethargically. His Sec
rotary took the glass and placed it in
his hand. 1t lay there for an instant
and then crashed down to the floor,
rolling, with uncanny precision, di-
rectly to the feet of the astrologer,
and remaining there.
"Sir!" pleaded Ramchundra. "Will
you deign to look into the crystal?"
No answer came, except stertorous
snore. The Jam slept in his chair, his
eyes wide open, his hands limp at his
side.
Satisfied that his ruler was COM
pletely under the influence of the
drug, Ramchundra leaped to his feet
and his face underwent remarkable
metamorphosis. He struck match
and lit small silver lamp upon the
table, then turned to Paul.
1.-The first part of our task is &C
complished," he said briskly. Now,
my friends, we have no time to lose.
In a few moments the immediate eff
fects of the drug will wear off. 1t
will be your task to instil into our

mind the understanding of what his

200 Bodies Found in Dayton.

Columbus, O., March 26-Governor Cox received message from Dayton shortly before il o'clock today from John Bell, the telephone operator, in which it was stated that 200 bodies dad been found. The bodies were lo. cated by men in patrol boats. Bodies were found as far out as Wayne ave- nue, which is more than mile from the river. At Fifth and Brown street. the water has reached a height of ten feet. At least one of those drown ed met death in the Algonquin Hotel The governor also established com munications with the relief commit tee in Dayton, and was told that the greatest need of flood sufferers at present was water. The city supply has been cut off. A relief train has been made up at Springfield, and left that city at noon today. The gov ernor also was told that there was no loss of life at Sidney.

TOOK COAL TO KEEP
 WARM-ARRESTED
Three Negro Women Are Fined SlO Each in Magistrates Court
 For Petit Larceny.

The cold weather is the cause of suffering in more ways than one, and as a result Rosa Collins, Hattie Banks and Frona Henderson, negresses, are now occupying cells in the county jail. However. they have one consola- ton in the fact that the cells are warm
 The recent cold spell was trifle too severe for the little shot gun houses occupied by the women, and especial ly when the supply of wood has been exhausted, so they wandered down to the Cotton Belt yards and filled their aprons with coal. This venture prov ed very successful and they decided to repeat the performance. However, their visits became too regular and the fuel began to be missed. y,,..=,
 Special Agent uHiginbotham was in formed of the missing coal and after a close watch of several nights, he ar rested the women in the act of filling their baskets.
 They were arraigned before Magis- trate J. A. Frazier yesterday and all entered pleas of guilty to charges of petit larceny. They each received fines of $10 and costs.

BAD MONEY CAUSE
 OF GREAT ANXIETY
Bank Note as We'll as New Buffalo Fiye.Cent Piece.

$ When the United States secret ser
 vice officers announced some days < ago that a considerable number of
 counterfeit $l0 banknotes are in cir
 culation, considerable number of
 persons, such as bankers, money lend
 CTS and other plutocrats, sat up, took
 notice and carefully investigated each and every one of the thousands of $10 < banknotes in their several possessions. [ But the general public. having little
 chance to hold a $10 banknote long enough to learn anything of it except
 it's propensities for quick flights, paid , little attention.
 Conditions, however, are changed today. The plutocrats are not worry ing so much, but the common people ~ is evidencing much anxiety, all be- sl cause it is now announced that the , country is being flooded with counter { feits of the new buffalo five-cent piece. HIS ldtSSC duu liOSl udilStIOue5 counterfeit is said to be rough to the touch, blurred about the Indian s head, and gives off a strange. unfamiliar sound. None has yet been discovered in TeXarkana, but many other cities have reported them in circulation. and Texarkana people generally. as a re- suit, are watching carefully each and every piece of money which comes ] into their possession, though this is no very great labor.
 The secret service men are working with every effort to ascertain the identity and whereabouts of the coun- terfeiters of both media of exchange. The plutocrats are anxious to stop the circulation of the $10 banknotes, but the common people, and more parti- cularly the newspapermen, are dis playing the greatest interest in the search for the counterfeiters of the Buffalo nickel

DAYTON DEATH LIST REMAINS UNCERTAIN Will Be Between 500 and 1000 Says Relief Com
 mittee.
FIRE DANGER PASSED
Victims Most FOreigners-AppeaI is Mad efOr FOOd-The
 Flooded Zone.

Dayton, Ohio, March 26.-lVia Le- hanon, Ohio)-George w. Burba, rep resenting Governor James M. Cox and J. Ii. Patterson, who is at the head the relief work here, agreed at noon that the loss of life from the flood here would be between 300 and 1000 persons. Both declared, however, that these estimates were based solely on conjectures and rumors, and that the death list might be much greater or much less.
 The danger from fire seemed to have disappeared at noon. So far as could be learned there were no ser ious fires burning. The flood still presents an impenetrable barrier that prevents rescue boats reaching near CT than mile from the center of the city. The crest of the flood passed 'abcut midnight and the waters have fallen noticeably since then.
 Rain Ceased at Dayton.
 The rain, which had persisted for AS hours, stopped at daylight. At noon, however, it was raining and in- dications were that it would continue High as it is expected the death list will be, few bodies have been recover ed.
 Relief workers who penetrated few blocks into the downtown dis trict returned to shore with the as- surance that there would be little loss of life in the business district.
 Those who are bloodhound in the offices and stores will suffer from hunger and thirst unless the flood soon subside but they are in no dan ger from the water
 Victims Mostly Foreigners.
 It was also decided that the great loss of life would be along the river in North and West Dayton, where the residents are almost entirely foreign born, and where they refused to obey the warning of the militia to leave OH the night before the levee broke.
 Except in few instances where houses were notably unstable there will be less loss of life in Riverdale, or the south and east sections, where residents had warning of the waters approach.
 An Official Statement.
 Relief committees today issued the following:

Charged with carrying concealed weapons. Henry Smith, negro, was arraigned before Jolice Judge J. R. Stewart yesterday morning and was fined $25 for disturbing the peace and the pistol charge against him was dismissed. It was alleged that the negro threatened to kill another black early last week. and drew a gun on him, but the evidence heard yesterday morning was insufficient to warrant conviction, and as d con- sequence, the negro was fined only for disturbing the peace.

''ts LAiAdVctu NOl SNept Away
 The rumors that the St. Elizabeth Hospital with GOO patients had been swept away, which gained circula- ton last night, today proved to be un- true. Althought it has been impossible to reach the building, field glasses showed that the hospital is still standing. The water is not thought to be much above the first floor oi the building and it is believed the patients have not suffered.
 Numerous stories of footing are told and numerous prisoners have been taken and locked up. In most cases these had entered houses and had been searching for valuables. Re- peated revolver shots last night gave rise to the reports that some desper- ate householders had shot themselves rather than suffer death by drown ing. When some of the shots were traced today, however, they proved to have been fired by men in an ef- fort to attract rescuers to their homes.
