1t was but a murmur; and the two turned to witness
the approach of the woman of the zenana. She flung
herself down before the c%atafalque, passionateIy kissing
the shroud. She leaned back and beat her breast and
walled. Ramabai was vastly puzzled over this demon
stration. That a handsome young woman should wall
over the corpse Of an old man who had never been any
thing to her might have an Interpretation Ear removed
from sorrow. Always in sympathy, however, with those
bowed with grief, Ramabai stopped and attempted to
raise her.
She shrank from his touch, looked up, and for the first
time seemed to be aware of his presence. Like a bubble
under water, that which had been striving for utterance
came to the surface. She snatched one of Ramabai's
hands.

Before the high tribunal Of priests, before the unhappy

made Ramabai promise that if ever he had need of him
to send. And Ramabai promised, hoping that he could
adjust and regulate his affairs without foreign assistance.
They went on, this time with Ahmed.
Toward the end of the journey they would be COM
PEELED to cross a chasm on a rope and vine bridge. Um-
ballah, knowing this, crcled and reached this bridge
before they did. He set about weakening the supports SO
that the weight of passengers would cause the structure
to break and fall into the torrent below. He could not
otherwise reach the spot where the treasure lay waiting.
The elephants would be forced to ford the rapids below
the bridge.
Kathlyn, who had by this time regained much Of her
old confidence and buoyancy, declared that she must be
first to cross the bridge. She gained the middle, when
she felt q sickening sag. She turned and shouted to the
others to go back. She made a desperate effort to reach
the far end, but the bridge gave way and she was hurled
into the swirling rapids. She was stunned for a moment;
but the instinct to live was strong. As she swung to and
fro, whirled here, flung there, she managed to catch hold
of a rock which projected from the flying foam.
A mahout, seeing her danger, urged his elephant toward
her and reached her just as she was about to let go. ISL

priest.
When the prisoners saw Umballah a shout went up.
There were some there who had Umballah to thank for
their miseries. They hailed him and jeered him and

"May he rot in the grave with a pig!"

"Drink thy sweat, thenl"

The keepers enjoyed this railIery. Umballah was going
to afford them much amusement. They forced him to the
wrist bar, snapped the irons On his wrist, and shouted to
the men to tread. All, well they knew the game! They
trotted with gusto, forcing Umballah to keep pace with
them, a frightful ordeal for a beginner. Presently he
slipped and fell and hung by his wrists while his legs
and thighs bumped cruelty. The lash fell upon his
shoulders, and he shrieked and grew limp. He had

The chief priest sataaraed again. The movement cost
him nothing. Once Balakhan was back in his city and
this white woman out Of the country he would under
take to deal with Ramabai and Pundita, He doubted
Balakhan would stir from his impregnable city on behalf
of Ramabai.
The frail woman who loved UmbaIlah raised her hand
in supplication.
Kathlyn understood. She shook her head. Umballah
should end his days in the treadmiIl; he should grind the
peoples corn. Nothing should stir her from this deter
mination.
Majesty, and what of me?" cried the unhappy
woman, now filed with another kind of remorse.
You shall return to the zenana for the present"
Then l am not to die, majesty?"
"No."
And Balakhan ?" inquired the priest.
He shall stand prepared; that is all"
The people, crowding in the temple and in the square
before it, salaamed deeply as Kathlyn left and returned
to the palace. She was rather dizzy over the success Of
her inspiration. A few days might pass without harm;
but sooner or later they would discover that she had
tricked them; and then, the end. But before that hour
arrived they would doubtless find some way Of leaving
the city secretly.
That it would be many days ere Pundita wore the
crown-trust the priests to spread the meshes of red
was reasonably certain.
"My girl" said the Colonel, you are a queen, If ever
there was one. And that you should think Of such a
simple thing when we had all given up! They would not
have touched Umbanah. Kit, Kit, whatever will you do
when you return to the humdrum life at home ?"
"Thank God on my knees, dad!" she said fervently.
But we are not safe yet, by no means. We must form
our plans quickly. We have perhaps three days grace.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS
 ON STEAMSHIP TERMINAL.
Between 85 and 99 Per Gent. of the
 Filling Has Been Done.

The State Steamship terminal at East New London is daily growing nearer completion as far as the sub structure is concerned. It is es- timated that S5 per cent. of the creo- ,soted piles have been driven and 9s per cent. of the ordinary supporting piles. If these were placed end to end they would cover a distance of 3S miles, considerably farther than from New London to Williniantic.
 Dredging in front of the pier has been completed to the extent of about 60 per cent. About sone-haR of the frame work is finished. The granite bulkhead walls are laid and the gran ite walls Which will enclose the filled area. of the pier, extending 1000 feet into the river, are well along. The fill- ed area is 100 feet in width. Fifty feet on either side of this is of creosoted pile construction, reinforced with rip rap. The latter. material is ncty being placed between the piles at the river bottom.

 The postmaster general authorizes the postmasters to avail themselves of the opportunity of icond ucting an sex- hibit and to assign when necessary one employe of the office to take charge.
