where about lay the things for which
it so diligently and vigorously sought
On the beach fishermen were disem-
barking. A sloop with a lateen sail
lay at anchor in the rude harbor. Some
of the fishermen were repairing nets
and some were tinkering about their
fishing boats. Beyond the beach nestled
a few huts. Toward these other fish
ermen were making progress.
The chief of the villa ge-the head
man-dtsembarked from this sloop. He
was met by his wife and child and the
little one clambered about his legs in
ecstasy. Among the huts stood one
more imposing than the others. and
toward this the chief and his family
wended their way. In front of the hut
stood an empty bullock cart Attached
to one of the wheels was a frisking
kid. The little child paused to play
with her pet.
Absorbed in her pastime, she did not
observe the approach of a gaunt being
with matted hair and beard and ash
besmeared body. Children are gifted
with an instinct which leaves us as
we grow older: the sensing of evil
without seeing or, understanding it.
The child suddenly gazed up, to meet
pair of eyes black and fierce as
kites. She rose screaming and fed
toward the house.
The holy man shrugged and waited.
When the parents rushed out to learn
what had frightened their little one
they were solemnly confronted by Um-
ballah.
Il am hungry"
The chief salaamed and ordered his
wife to bring the holy man rice and
milk"
Thou art an honest man" said UNI
ballah
TT is said replied the chief, gravely.
Thou art poor"
That is with the gods I serve"
But thou art not without ambition"
"Who is?'' The chiefs wonder grew.
What meant these peculiar sentences?
'Wouldst put thy hand into gold as
far as the wrist and take what thou
couldst hold?''
Yes, holy one; for 1 am human
Whittier leads these questions? What
is it you would of me?"
There are some who need to be far
away to see things. Well. good man,
there is a treasure under your feet
falling into the vernacular.
The chief could not resist looking
down at the ground, startled.
Nay" smiled Umballah, mot there.
Think: did not something unusual hap
pen here five years aso?-
The chief smoothed the tip of his
nose. my father died and 1 became
headman of the village"
Would you call that unusual?" IRON

NO. Ha. suddenly. Give years

was permitted outside. He was COM
PEELED to row out to the island. There
he was blindfolded. Only two men ac-
conlpanied him. They carried some
thing that was very heavy. My father
never knew what the strange, shining
basket held. Then the soldiers went
away and we came out. No one was
allowed on the island till my father
died.

man Whatever the secret was, it
passed with him. We were not
curious"
1T was the private treasure of the
king himself"
The fisherman salaamed.
And 1 am sent, because l am holy,
to recover this treasure, which was
wil1ed to the temple of Juggernaut."
"But, holy one, 1 know not where it
is hidden"
II do. What I want is the use of
your sloop and men 1 can trust. To
you, as much gold as your hands can
hold"

honest as myself"
THAT will be sufficient, and you shall
have your gold.
The word of a holy man is never sub
jected to scrutiny in India.
Umballah was in good humor. Here
he was, several hours ahead of his
enemies. He would have the fligree
basket dug up and transferred to the
sloop before the colonel sahib could
reach the village. And Umballah would
have succeeded but for the fact that
the wind fell unaccountably and they
lost more than an hour in handling the
sloop with oars
When the sloop left the primitive
landing the chief returned to his hut
like the good husband he was They
would be rich.
Suddenly the child set up a wailing.
Through the window she had seen. a
bold leopard trot over to the bullock
cart and carry away the kid The
chief at once summoned his remain
ing men, and they proceeded to set a
trap for the powder The cat had al
ready killed one bullock and injured
another They knew that the beast
would not return for some hours, hav-
irg gorged itself upon the kid. But it
was well to be prepared.
Toward noon the other treasure seek
ers drew up within a quarter of a mile
behind the village. The men folk
thought it advisable to reconnoiter be-
fore entering the village. One never
could tell Winnie declared her In
tention of snoozing while they waited
however, could not resist the longing
to look upon the sea again. She could
see the lovely blue water through the
spaces between the trees. Soon she
would be flying over that water, fly
ing for home, home!
She went farther from the camp than
she really intended, and came unex-
pectedly upon the leopard, which stood
guarding its cubs, while they growled
and tore at the dead kid. Kathlyn
realized that she was unarmed, and
tnat the leopard was between ner ana
the camp. She could see the roofs of
the village below her; so toward the
huts she ran. The leopard stood still
for while, cycling her doubtfully, then
made up it's mind to give chase. She
had. tasted blood but had not eaten.
Meantime the little child had for
gotten her loss in her interest in the
bullock cart with. its grotesque lure;
and she climbed into the cart just as
Kathlyn appeared. followed by the ex-
cited leopard. She saw the child and
snatched her instinctively from the
cart. The leopard leaped into the cart
at the rear, while Kathlyn ran toward
the chiefs hut, into which she stag
gered without the Formally OF an
nouncing her advent.
The father of the child had no need
to question though he marveled at the
white skin and dress of this visitor,
who had doubtless saved his child from
death. He flung the door shut and
dropped the bar. Next he sought his
gun and fired throug crack In the

SCHOOLS
 MUST BE REFORMED
New York Takes Up Move menJ for Vocational Train
 ing of Pupils.

New York. June PA system which turns out 10000 children who apply themselves to anything but mes senger service or cheap clerical work is not satisfactory" says Presiednt Thomas w. Churchill, of the board of education, in endorsing Mayor Mitch els plans for vocational, technical and continuation training for public school pupils.
 "No confessions as to the weakness and inadequacy of the present school system are necessary" said MT. Churchill, nor the very able gentle men who have built up the present school system. But it is a matter of development. A generation ago voca- tional training was not so necessary as 1t is today, for in those days there wasn't the competition there is today. What is needed, and what we are af- ter, is to find out if we can't give a boy enough education to go out and make living.
 What we propose to do,' continued the president, "is to get a group of experts who will look over the situa- tion and tell us how we can brin g the business life of the community in to closer touch with our school life"

SING SINGS NEW
 WARDEN IN CHARGE
Thomas J. Mccormick Succeeds James Clancy, Who Resigned Several
 Months Ago.

Ossining, N. Y., June 22.-Thomas J. Mccormick, president of plumb ing and steam heating company of YonKers, and partisan of Deputy State Comptroller Walsh, Democratic leader in Westchcster county, today took up his duties as warden of Sing Sing prison, succeeding James Clan cy, who wrote his resignation several months ago.
 MT. Mccormick said that at present he has no plans for conducting the prison, any more than that he will do his best to carry out, all. the duties required of a Warden.
 The newly appointed warden is 40 years old. and for the past five years has been the Democratic leader of the Fourth ward of Yonkers. Warden Clancy in announcing his ,, resignation said it was impossible te carry out all the reforms he had un-

sic Cn the 26th. The Ithaca outfit seems to be better than that of 1913, while none of the rival crews have loomed up as formidable as Syracuse and Columbia did last year.
 The 1914 Syracuse crew so far has made a miserable showing. Under the driving pace forced upon them by Coach Ten Eyck, the Syracuse men may do a comeback" but even the most ardent Syracuse supporters do not look for 1914 triumph. And the strangest part of Syracuse's miserable showing this year is that there is in the crew seven of the eight men who stroked Syracuse to such wonderful victory last year.
 The Wisconsin aggregation is not looked for to furnish any real trou ble. Pennsylvania has a habit of springing surprises every so often, but the sharps feel that this isn't one of those times. Columbia on it's early showing doesn't look to finish better than third or fourth this year.
 The Washington crew again is as suming the role of dark horsa" The Seattle boys are husky lot and they had 2n easy tive winning the triangu- lar Pacific coast meet in April. They have shown considerable improvement since then, and in their workouts up to date have shown surprising speed.

LITTLE ROCK NOT
 READY TO MEDIATE
Capital City Not Disposed to Grant Armistice in Fight Against
 Water Company.

Little Rock, June 23.-The city is not disposed to yield any advantage it may gain in pushing a suit against the Arkansas Water company for the annulment of it's charter, even to the extent of forcing receivership. This is the attitude of the mayor and the council who are standing back of City Attorney Mehaffy in his efforts to force the water company to comply with the terms of it's franchise.
 The water company is seeking to compromise on the ground that it is expending several thousand dollars in the betterment of it splant, which, it is claimed, will increase it's efficiency in the quantity and quality of water provided.
 The city officials contend that the company, which has seventeen years yet to run, is not living up to its con tract, and that it must do so or for felt it's chart s., Mayor Taylor and many members of the council are in favor of municipal ownership of the waterworks under proper safeguards and restrictions, especially if the bond amendment prevails in September which r.,w seems assured.

WOMAN ASSISTS
 CORNELL CREWS
Wife of Coach Courtney Has Big Part in Success of
 the Oarsmen.
tBy Frank G. MenkeO. ]

New York. June 22-The main req
 son why the Cornell crews havoc been
 so successful in years gone by is be- | cause of the minute attention given to every detail concerning their training by Coach Charles k. Courtney, his assistants, and by Courtney's wife. who for years has acted as mother"
 to the sailors" in the Cornell navy When other boat crews land at Poughkeepsie about three weeks be- fore the big boat races they usually have to spend about week getting their quarters in shape No one pays any rc'l attention as to what kind of
 water they drink. And no one care fully examines into every bit of food they eat.
 But with Cornell it is different. A week or so before the boys are to go to Poughkeepsie for the final two or three weeks of training on the Hud- son, "Mother" Courtney journeys up to Poughkeepsie. invades the Cornell quarters and aided and abetted by a squad of women puts the place in a spic and span condition. When the boys arrive, everything is ready for them.
 Mrs. Courtney, under the direction of her famous husband, has a chemist analyze tbe Poughkeepse water each year. If it isn't quite up to standard it is rejected. and if no suitable water is found in that neighborhood, Court ney Las a big supply shipped on from Ithaca-the kind of water that the boys are used to drinking. It has been found in numerous occasions that a change in drinking water has so affected the general health of a crew that it has wrecked their chances.
 Mrs. Courtney takes care of the job of ordering the food She sees to it that very bit of food that comes in to the quarters for consumption by the boys is fresh and just exactly what she has ordered And she super cises it's cooking, making sure that everything is as it should be.
 Down at the boathouse, John Hoyle, assistant to Courtney, and a famous boat builder. sees to it that before the boys get into shell everything is in perfect shape.
 Every bit of rigging must fit. The seats must slide just right. The shoes must be of exactly the right kind and fit. Not the slightest detail in getting the boat ready is ever overlooked by Hoyle, for he knows that if he does the eagle eye of Courtney will spot it in fraction of a second.
 Therefore, is it any wonder that Cornell, so thoroughly trained and so perfectly conditioned, so often tri- upmhs over rivals who seem to out class them in natural rowing ability and in endurance powers?

RUSSIAN
ARMY ADVANCING
AGAINST KAISER


Petrograd, Oct. 29:-The entire
Russian army is advancing against
the Austro-German forces. Advices
from the front indicate the Austrian
troops in Galicia are being enveloped
by the Russian left while the Russian
center and right are driving the Ger
mans back upon their advance lines
of defense inside the east Prussian
frontier. After more than a week of
trians have begun to retreat from the
southern section. The only thing in
terfering with the advance of the en-
tire French wing is the stubborn re-
sistance being maintained by the
fortress of Pryzemysl. Energetic eff
forts are being made to reduce 1t and
1t Is hoped 1t may not be able to re-
sist more than q few days longer. Al
ready breaches have been made in
outer walls. Prisoners captured fol-
lowing an unsuccessful sortie, state
the medical supplies are running
short and there is scarcity of food.
The Germans in East Prussia are
depending on artillery to check the
Russian advance while their demor-
allied forces can reform and rest.
Large quantities Of ammunition and
number of pieces of artillery had to
be abandoned because of bogs in the
retreat from Warsaw. Enormous
numbers of prisoners have been taken
all along the battle front.
