ted the peace Of the temple in the
daytime. She could see the dome from
where she stood. Like Ishmael, she
must go on, forever. and forever on
Was God watching over her? Was
it his hand which stayed the on
slaught Of the beast and defeated the
baser schemes of man? Was there
to be a haven at the end? She smiled
wanly. What more was to beset her
path she knew not, nor cared just
then, since there was to be q haven
at the end.
Perhaps prescience brought to her
minds eye a picture; she saw her
father, and Bruce, and Winnie, and
her sweetheart, and they seemed to
be toasting her from the end OF a
long table, under the blue California
sky. This vision renewed her strength.
She proceeded onward.
She must have followed the river
at least a mile when she spied a raft
moored to a clump Of trees. Here
she saw way of saving her weary
limbs many a rugged mile. She ford
ed the stream, freed the raft and poled
out into the middle Of the stream.
1t happened that the Mohammedan
hunters who owned the raft were at
this moment swinging along toward
the temple On the shoulders of two
rested pole from which dangled the
lifeless body Of a newly killed leopard.
They were bringing it in as gift to
the headman of the village, who was
thoroughgoing Mohammedan, and
who held in contempt Hinduism and
all its amazing ramifCations.
The white priestess was indeed q
puzzle; for. while the handful Of No
hammedans in the village were fanat-
ical in their belief in the true prophet
and his Koran, and put little faith in
miracles and still less in holy men
who performed them, the advent of
the white priestess deeply mystified
them. There was no getting around
this: she was there; with their own
eyes they saw her. There might be
something in Hinduism after all.
When the hunters arrived at the
portico Of the temple they found two
greatly terrified holy men, shrilling
their GAIL All" In lamentation and
beating their foreheads against the
earth
Holy men, what is wrong?" asked
one Of the hunters, respectfully.
THE lion has killed our priestess;
the sacred fires must die again. Al!
All"
Where is the lion?"
"They fed toward the river, and
there he has doubtless destroyed her
for in evil silva, represented by the
lion, is more powerful than Vishnu, re
incarnated in our priestess. All! Al!
She is dead and we are undone!"
Come" sa'I the chief huntsman
Let US run to the river and see what
these queer gods are doing. Well
present the skin Of silva to our mas
teri" He laughed
The leopard carriers deposited their
burden and all started off at a dog
trot. They had always been eager re

CHAPTER VII.
'FTruce WaterU


When Kathlyn came to the river
she swerved toward the broadcast
part Of it. Twice she stumbled over
boulders. but rose pluckily and.
bruised and breathless, plunged into
the water. 1t was swift running and
shoulder deep and she was forced to
swim strongly to gain the opposite
shore. She dragged herself up to the
bank and, once there, looked back.
What she saw rather astonished her.
She could not solve the riddle at first.
The Hon seemed to be struggling
with some invisible opponent. He
stood knee deep in the sands. Juggling
and pulling. He began to roar. Even
as Kathlyn gazed she saw his chest
touch the sand and his swelling TANKS
sink lower. Fascinated, she could not
withdraw her gaze. How his mighty
shoulders heaved and pulled! But
down, down, lower and lower, till
nothing but the great named head re-
manned In view. Then that was drawn
down; the sand filed the animals
mouth and stopped his roaring; low
er, lower.
Quicksands! The spot where he
had disappeared stirred and glistened
and shuddered, and then the eternal
Darkness of sand.
She was not, then, to die? Should
she return to the. temple? Would
they not demand of her the restora-
ton Of tie lion? She must go on.

Opening
Of The Markets OF Russia
To America
4 Great Opportunity For
People OF U. S.

Petrograd, St Petersburg, Sept. 1S
-Sergaus Sazanoft, Russian minister
Of foreign affairs, declared today that
as a result of the war the great mar
kets Of Russia would be thrown open
to England and America. He asserted
that an era of prosperity would soon
open in Russia and that this would be
an opportunity of especial benefit to
America.
Beyond the war;" ne said, exists a
situation that affords an opportunity
in trade and commerce with Russia,
which, to England and America, may
mean more in the decades to come
than it is easy to realize.
ut is the country which forsees
the situation commercially in Russia
that will reap the enormous benefits
that the Russian markets now offer.
1t is not enough that the merchants
should offer their goods here. Experts
should be sent here now, while the
war still is on, to study and examine
the wants of our country. Our duties,
our manner of doing business, our
present and future wants and the
growing demands should be studied
scientifically, SO that when peace
comes these channels, which have
flowed deeply with German products
for years, may continue to flow with
products from America and England
For America especially does Rus
sia open opportunities for an industri.
al outlet such as can hardly be over
estimated. We have an empire OF
170,000,0O0 souls and the $3O0,OOO,O0
we have been paying yearly to Ger.
many is but the beginning of a de-
mand that soon will make Russia
among the most desirable and valua
BILE markets of the world. Railroad
building and new developments every
where are the prelude to an era OF
prosperity in this country such as has
never been seen here before.
81 cannot too emphatically express
the hope that the merchants abroad
! will realize this wonderful opportun
ity and act promptly, for when the
war is over there will come realiza
tion of this situation everywhere, and
he who would profit should take the
first steps with the least possible de
lay"
