CHAPTER XIV.
THE GARDEN OF BRIDES.

E-RO the four ends Of the principally they came,
p the yelled candidates; from the north, the east,
the south, and west. They came in marvellous
palanquins, in curtained howdahs, on camels, in
splendid bullock carts. Many a rupee resolved itself into
nsw'bought hnery, upon the vague chance of getting it
back with compound interest.
What was most unusual, they came without pedigree
OF dowry, this being Ramabai's idea; though, in truth,
UtnballRh objected at first to the lack Of dowry., He had
expected to inherit this dowry. He gave way to Rama
bal because he did not care to have Ramabai suspect
what his inner thoughts were. Let the fool Ramabai
pick out his chsstnuts for him. Umballah laughed in his
volumfnous sleeve. q. .~a 49,.
Some one of these matrimonially inclined houris the
Colonel would have to select; if he refused, then should
Ramabai do the selecting. More, he would marry the
fortunate women by proxy. There wa no possible loop
hole for the Colonel.
The populace was charmed, enchanted, as it always

came one after another. The oriental dislikes work; and
any one who could invent means Of avoiding" it was

worthy Of gratitude. So, then, the ~populace fell in with
Umballah's scheme agreeably. The bhang and betel and
teddy sellers did a fine business during the festival OF
Rama.
There was merrymaking in the streets, day and night.
The temples and mosques were filed to overlooking.
Musicians with reeds and tom-tcms paraded the bazaars.
In nearly every square the Nautch girl danced, or the
juggler piled his trade, or there was a mongoose-cobra
fight (the cobra, of course, bereft of Its fangs), and fakirs
grew mango trees out Of nothing. There was a furry in
the slave mart, too.
The troops staggered about, overbearing. They were
soon to get their pay. The gold and silver were rotting
In the treasury. Why leave it there, since gold and silver
were ninted 3to. be spent2 @4.
There were elephant fights in the reconstructed arena;
tigers attacked wild bears, who fought with enormous,
razorlike tusks, as swift and deadly as any Malay kris.
The half forgotten ceremony of feeding the wild pig be-
fore SHUTDOWN, each day was given life again. And drove

was distributed from a platform. And wild peacocks fol-

The populace, outside the palace, having been acquaint-
ed with what was taking place, burst out into cheers.
The treasure room, guarded by leopards in charge OF
incorruptible keepers, was now approached by Umballah
and his captain of the guard. Umballah presented his
order on the treasury. The leopards were driven into
their cages, and the magic door swung open. The two
gaAped for breath for Umballah had never before looked
within. Everywhere gold and gems; fabulous riches,
enough to make a man ten times a king.
"Highness," whispered the captain, " there is enough
riches here to purchase the whole of Hind!"
AS he stared Umballah surrendered to a passing
dream Presently he shook himself, sought the chain
for which he had come, and reluctantly stepped out into
the corridor again. He would return soon to this door.
But for that fool Of o white man who had saved the
king from the leopard, he would have opened this door
long since. As he walked to the outer door he thought
briefly Of the beauty of Kathlyn. She was dead, and
dead likewise was his passion for her.
Beyond the gate to the garden of brides Ahmed and
Lal4 Singh waited with elephants. From here. they would
make the north gate, transfer to new elephants, and
leave AIlaha and its evil schemes behind. They created

his head. A dark frown began to settle over Umbalah's
face. If the Colonel refused the last candidate for nup-
tial honors, he should die. But as Ramabai lifted the
veil Of this last woman ne Colonel nodded tharply; and
kathlyn, for a brief space, gaed into her fathers eyes.
The same thought occurred to both: what a horrible
mockery it all was, and where would it lead finally?
Take care!" whispered Kathlyn as she saw her
fathers fingers move nervously with suppressed longing
to reach out and touch her.
The spectators of this little drama which was hidden
from them evinced their approval by a murmuring which
had something like applause in it. A queen was chosen!
A real queen at last had been chosen. Ramabai had
accomplished by diplomacy what yonder Durga Ram had
failed to do by force. But Umballah secretly smiled as
he sensed this undercurrent. Presently they should see.
The Colonel extended lis hand and drew Tathlyn I'D
beside him and now for a moment the whole affair
trembled in the balance: Kathlyn felt herself possessed
with a wild desire to laugh.
The chain Of gold, representing the betrothal, was now
ordered brought from the treasury.

thousand pigs come ~trotting in, each drove headed by It's
fighting boar. When the old fellows met there was car
mage; sQuealing and grunting, they fought. The peacocks
shrilled and hoped from back to back for such grain as
fell upon the bristly backs of the pigs. Here and there
a white peacock would be shared, or a boar whose tusks
promised a battle royal with some leopard or tiger.
- And through all this turmoil and clamor Ahmed and
Lal Singh moved, sounding the true sentiments of the
people. They did not want white kings or white queens;
they desired to be ruled by their kind, who would not
start innovations but would let affairs drift on a: they
had done for centuries.
Nor was Bruce inactive. Many a time Umbailah had
stood within an arms length of death but always Bruce
had resisted the impulse. 1t would be rank folly to upset
Ramabais plans, which were to eliminate in Umballah's
overthrow.
But upon a certain hour Ramabai came to Bruce,
much alarmed. During his absence with Pundita at some
palace affair his home had been entered, ransacked, and
10000 rupees had been stolen. His real fortune, how
ever, was hidden securely. The real trouble was that

soon. She huddled down close to the floor. The leopard
trotted round and round, snarling and shifting. Presently
he was Joined by another. From &faT she could hear
shouting. She readily understood. Through some care
lessness the leopards of the treasury were at liberty, and
that of her own and her father was in jeopardy. Just
without the garden Of brides was Bruce and help, and
she dared not move!
Bruce, from his howdah, heard the noise in the palace;
female shrieks, commands, a shot from a musket. What
in heavens name had happened? Where was Kathlyn2
Why did she not appear? He fingered his reVoIyers.
But Ahmed signaled to him not to stir. The knowledge
of whatever had happened must be brought to them on
their lives they dared not go in search of it.
This comes from your damnable oriental way Of do
ing things. If l had had my way, UmbaI1ah would be-
dead and buried" t& -
All in good time, Sahib."
The elephants stirred restlessly, for they scented the eai
whom they hated.
Within the palanquin Kath1yn dared scarcely to
breathe; for outside sevensleopards prowled and snifsd
and snared!

these 10000 rupees would practically undo much Of what
had beenaaccomplished. He was certain that Umballah
had instigated this theft, and that the money would be
doled out to the soldiers. For upon their dissatisfaction
rested his future.
