They came out into the scrub jun

distance small herd of wild elephant.

CHAPTER Iv-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 Umballa's heart might
have disquieted Bruce had he known
of its existence.
Kathlyn, arriving in her chamber,
flung 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 it 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 l 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 signifled that
he was inclined toward British pro
tectorate? Eth? 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-

"In the house of my friend Lal Singh

Even so. To you. Ramabai, the
powder; to me, the splitting wires; to

feet In the treadmill."
On the night before the ordeal men
moved cautiously about the elephant
arena. It was only after much per
suasion and argument could Bruce
hold the men. At the testing of Lal
Singh's wires and batteries they had
started to fly. This was DEVILS fire.
At the end of the arena, in 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

The EIlaht From the Arena.

When Bruce dropped down into the
arena to Kathlyn's side he had never
given a thought to the possibility OF
the key not being the right one.

yards away with a Zenana gharri,
ready to convey them to the camp.

him for moment. The confusion all
about, the pail Of dust, the roaring OF
the frightened lions which had escaped
destruction, the shrill cries of the
panic-stricken populace, who now
looked upon the white memsahib as
the daughter of Shaitan, these dulled
his inventive faculties for the nonce.
Here was the confusion. properly
planned, and he could not make use
of 1t. Possibly when no further e1-
plosion shook the air, the mob and
the soldiers would return out OF Gu
riosity. And then, good-by!
But the sight Of lion emerging
from the murk the wrong side Of the
crevasse reused him thoroughly.

despair; there is no possible way Of
saving me. l have never in all my
life injured any one, and yet God

RUM"
Bruce laughed; 1t was that kind Of
laughter with which men enter battle.
He drew Lal Singh's revolvers and
thrust one into her hand.
Shoot at the keyhole. Leave the
lion to me. With the pandemonium no
one will note the shots, or If they do,
will think that more explosions are
on the way. I'll get you out Of this
nightmare; that's what was born
for"
"Nightmare!"
There. now!"-as Kathlyn leaned
dizzily against one of the supports.
I've gone through good deal" she
\ said. Without more ado she pressed
the muzzle Of the revolver into the
keyhole and fired. She heard a shot
behind her, another and another; but
she kept on firing into and about the
keyhole till the revolver was empty.
A firm hand drew her aside.

to warn Ahmed; maybe gone directly
off toward camp. Anyhow, he has faith
in me-"
"And, o! SO have l. so have II"
Bruce bore his weight savagely
against the door-once, twice, thrice;
and pitched forward on his knees, out
side. He was up instantly. He caught
Kathlyn by the hand and hurried her
along; and all she could think Of was
Winnie romping toward the canopie6

A Man without a Vision.

We have read somewhere in
an old book something like this
Where there is no vision, the
people perish" AS this book
is mainly religious, we naturally
assume that it meant that where
there was no religious teaching
there could be no permanent
civil on, But these sayings
of wise men-Of. old some way
have a good many different APP
p%licatiOns, and we got a new
idea from this particular saying
when talking with an educator
from the south. We suggested
to him that the best thing that
the people in the Appalachian
mountains could do would be to
move down to the factory dis
trict and get work for them
selves and their grown children,
leaving the mountain sections of
North Carolina, Kentucky and
Tennessee to grow up in timber,
for which they are supremely
well fitted. To this he replied
in effect:
That doesn't work out practi-
cally as you would think. Many
OF thee people are moving down.

The September WOman's Home
Companion is a Fashion Fore
cast Number" Grace Margaret
Gould. the fashion editor, with
the assistance of her staff OF
writers and artists, presents the
fashion news in a practical way
so that readers can follow up her
suggestions and make definite use
of them. In a general way her
policy is to show women how
they can make use of the latest
fashions without extravaganza.
An interesting feature OF this
months fashion department is a
cOlored plate of an afternoon
gown designed by Madame Pa
quin for the conservative Amer
lean women. The gown is repro
duced from Madame Paquin's
design by Henry Hutt and is
done in full color.
Another strong feature Of the
September issue is the first of a
series of articles reporting a min
ister's experience with women.
"The Woman Who Came in the
Night" 1t is an account of a
woman who went to her pastor
when she was in serious trouble
and the story reveals the i'm

interesting article is an account

naturally drift to poor houses
such as are found in the slums.
AS their women folks have been
used to doing most of the work,
they depend on them to support
the family; and hence in win
ter many of them become OBJ
jects of charity. The trouble
with these people is that they
have no vision. When the
jyoungpeople get a vision through
contact with the mission school,
and come to see what life really
means, then they become ex-
ceedingly able and useful citi-
zens, with marked originality"
Such in substance was the re-
suit of our friends observation
and experience. This set us to
thinking about a conversation we
had last year with the "Lochile, ,
or the head of the Clan Cameron.
He told us that the crofters in
Scotland, to whom the govern
ment had given fifty acres of
land at the very minimum of
rent, were quite apt to allow
their wives and children to do
the work, they themselves pre-
ferring to serve hunters and
fishermen in the season, and
that they wish to have their
lands on lower terms. The idea
was thai if you give people
something, they naturally
ask for something more.
Then we began to think about
our North American Indians, who
also allowed their women to do
the work, while they spent their
time in war or in the chase. We
began to think of the people in
the lower civilizations in the
Old World, the peasants of Rus
and Bulgaria, who, having no
vision themselves, allow their
and children to do the
work in the fields.
From these our thoughts turne
to the tramps and vags and
who have no wisdom ex-
cept to get enough to eat in the
and a place to "hole
up in winter, patronizing soup
kitchens, becoming what an
poet described as "bread
and treacle MASTERS" - treacle
meaning molasses. Then we
wondered how many of this
that fills up our towns and
in the winter, living on
charity, were once farmers.

would have come to this condi-
ton if they had a vision when
