Inc 81. PETERSBURG cn1ef OF pO-
lice speaks with brutal frankness
and says that no decent woman
would wear slit skirt and he won't
allow any exposures of that kind on
the streets Of his city. Our own
invincible mo1esty would compel US
to walk several blocks out of the
way to avoid the shocking revelation
Of one of those things to which the
chief refers; but 1t is not nearly SO
far cry from the present conven-
tional Garb of young ladies to the
slit skirt as 1t was from the femi-
nine styles of few years ago to the
diaphanous and abbreviated sartor-
ial loneliness We observe without
even wincing on the streets Of ev-
cry American community today.
Hence We opine aht it is more mat
ter OF cu1tom than decency, and
when our unaccustomed masculine
eyes get used to this slit affair the
shocks will cease and We will accept
1t as regular. But looking deeper
into the slit skirt we foresee its
early doom because it is utterly in
artistic and intolerably vulgar. 1t
might survive its wickedneSs, but
never its offence to art, for without
art there can be no charm and with
out charm no fad or fashion for the
fair sex will have more than a brief,
tentative life.

KING OF A THOUSAND ELEPHANTS
Continued from page s

He was either stolen or lost by breaking
away about a year ago Such an elephant
is worth at least fifteen thousand dollars
have no doubt the Maharaja will pay hand
somely for his return
A BOUT six months later Warren and his
\ wife formerly Miss Preston) were re-
turning from an early morning ride in the
vicinity of an ancient native city. AS they
came up to one of the gates, they drew aside
and halted to permit a royal cortege to pass
out First came a bodyguard of lancers
then servants in respondent costumes walk
ing beside an elephant. The beast moved
with slow and majestic pace, as if conscious
of exalted dignity. On his back was a cur
tanned howdah of ornately decorated silver
His tusks were plated with gold, his forehead
fringed with jeweled ornaments. From his
tanks hung cloth of scarlet velvet, richly
brocaded. His face was all painted up, ac-
cording to custom; but Warren recognized
him. He leaned over and grasped his wife's
wrist to engage her attention.
do you see him?' he asked eagerly.
THAT gorgeous mahout perched on the
elephants neck?' she questioned in return.
Mrs. Warren's interest had been centered
on the silver howdah. For a moment the

face. She was presumably Queen on her
way to some country place.
"No-no!' exclaimed Warren. al mean
the elephant Hello, Gowry!7 he cried. "Hel-
10, Old Steam Shovel! Say, don't you re-
member me, old man."
The elephant slowly swung his head
round, waved his trunk, and-and Warren
vouches for it that the royal beast soemnly
meriah went on his stately path, appropri-
ately the bearer of Hindu Queen.

to think over matters until a relief could be
sent out for his rescue.
1t was long and dusty tramp, and the
midday sun was scorching overhead before
they reached camp, foOtsore and consumed
with thirst. There they were surprised to
find the drive party returning in struggling
detachments. 1t transpired that break
had been discovered in the Surround" and
the drive consequently postponed until the
morrow. But of first interest was Old Steam
Shovel's abduction. A young native Prince,
who had joined the party at the surround"
returned with the Governor. He was eager
to inspect the elephant When the beast
was brought before him he expressed I'M
bounded admiration.
"a Koomeriah of the first caste!' he ex-
claimed. "A Kings elephant! How did you
manage to purchase him." he questioned
Warren.
Warren referred to the three merchants.
They were sent for, and stood uneasily in the
Princes presence. He spoke to them in their
own dialect, and finally turned to Warren.
"These fellows" he said, "are not reputa-
bic elephant merchants, but thieves and
thorough rascals. They evidently chose the
day of the drive to regain possession of the
elephant, so that they might have at least
twenty-four hours start of any pursuit.
imagine they stole the elephant in the first
place from some King or noble, their story
about the ruined Raja being palpably false. "
The Prince closely examined Old Steam
Shovel again. He went over all his points
with the care of an expert, noting the short,
thick neck, bump between the eyes, soft
skin, and SO forth. Presently he drew back,
pointing to small, cream-colored splashes on
the ears and base of the trunk
Il have identified him by those marks"
he spoke with qualification. "He is the
State elephant of the Maharaja of Indrapur
