apes and herd Of antelope had been
down to drink during the night Even
as he looked a huge gray ape came
bounding out, head on toward Rajah,
who despisod these foolish beasts. Per
haps the old elephant missed All, per
haps he was still somewhat upset by
his failure to Join his wild brothers
the night before; at any rate, without
warning, he set Off with that shufing
gait which sometimes carried him as
swiftly as a horse. An elephant never
trots nor really runs according to our
conception Of the term, he shuflles,
scarcely lifting his feet off the ground.
The mahout yelled and belabored the
elephant on the skull, Raiah did not
mind this beating at all Whatever his
idea was, he evidently proposed to see
Il fulfilled Cunningly he dashed un-

CHAPTER lV-contlnued.

She was conducted back to the
palace. The populace howled and
cheered about her palanquin to the
very gates. Not in many big rain
had they had such excitement
The fury in Umballas heart might
have disquieted Bruce had he known
OF its existence.
kathlyn, arriving in her chamber,
hung herself down upon her cushions
and lay there like one dead, nor would
she be comforted by the worshiping
Pundita Bruce had saved her this
time, but 1t was not possible that he
could repeat the feat
Having convinced Umballa and the
council that she would not marry her
prosecutor, the council announced to
the populace that on the next fete day
the queen would confront the lions in
the elephant arena. What could one
man do against such odds? Lions
brought from the far Nubian deserts,
fierce, untamable.
That night there was a conference
between Bruce Ahmed and Ramabai.
They have taken my guns away,
and God knows / can't do the impos-
sible. Where the devil were your
camels, Ahmed?"
"Umballa has his spies Ramabai,"
said Ahmed, smiling, as he got into
his bhisti rags, which Ramabai had
surrendered willingly enough. "Ra-
mabai, thou conspirator, what about
the powder mines you and your friends
hid when the late king signified that
he was inclined toward British pro
tectorate? Eh? What about the re-
public thou hadst dreams of? Poor
fool! 1t is in our blood to be ruled by
kings, oppressed we should not know
what to do with absolute freedom.
There! Fear not. Why should | be-
tray thee? The mines. The arena is
of wood
But there will be many of my
friends there" said the bewildered
Ramabai Who was this strange man
who seemed to know everything?
Put the mines in the center of the
arena. What we want is merely ter
ror and confusion. Pouf! Bang!

lions, one of which lay dead. Then
came the rush toward the exits, a mad,
frantic rush. Not even Umballa, who
knew that not the gods but man had
contrived this havoc, not even Um-
balla waited, but fled, beating down
all those who blocked his path.
Bruce and Ramabai dropped over
the railing to Kathlyn's side. But the

moved cautiously about the elephant

hold the men. At the testing of Lal
Singhs wires and batteries they had
started to fly. This was DEVILS fire.
At the end of the arena, in a box
which Bruce was to occupy, by order
of the Council (where they proposed to
keep an eye upon him and Umballa to
wiring his heart), the key to the wires
was laid. This box was directly over
a wooden canopy where the mahouts
