There was, to be sure. bare posi-.

they had outstripped pursuit, she saw
no reason why she should not witness
the dancing.
How Umballa came upon them sud-

the elephants: how they fed to a near

masks and garments, fed still farther
Into the wooded hills, and hid there
with small arms ready. needs but little
telling. Umballa returned to the city
satisfied. He had at least deprived
them Of their means Of travel. Sooner
or later they would founder In the Jun
gle, hear of the arrival Of the younger
daughter, and return.
Ahmed was grave. Lal Singh had
gone. Now that the expedition had
failed, his place was back
In the shoe shop in the baxaars. Yes,
Ahmed was grave. He was also . trifle
disheartened. The fakir had said that
there would be many disappointment,
but that In the end He might be
a liar like all the other Hindus. Yet
surely one part Of his foretelling WAS
norrect: many diaappointmenta.

experiences. The men had worry
enough.
After hasty meal the Journey to.
ward the seaport began In earnest.
Umballas attack had thrown them far
out of the regular track. They were
now compelled to make wide detoar.
Where the journey might have bedu
made in three days. they would be
lucky now if they reached the sea un-
der five. The men took turns in stand
ing watch whenever they made camp.
and Kathlyn and Pundita had no time
for idleness. They had learned their
lessons; no more carelessness. moth
ing but the sharpest vigilance from
now on.
One day, as the pony caravan made
a turn round a ragged promontory.
they suddenly paused. Perhaps twen-
ty miles to the west lay the emerald
tinted Persian gulf. The colonel
slipped off his horse. dragged Kathlyn
from hers, and began to execute a
hornpipe. He was like boy.
"The sea, Kit, the sea! Home and
Winnie: out Of this devils caldron!
You will come along with us, Bruce?"
Il haven't anything else to do"
Bruce smiled back.
Then he gazed at Kathlyn, who
found herself suddenly filled with
strange embarrassment. In times of
danger sham and subterfuge have no
place. Heretofore she had met Bruce
as a man, to whom glance from her
eyes had told her secret. Now that
the door to civilization lay but few
miles away, the old conventions
dropped their obscuring nantes over
her and she felt ashamed. And there
was not little doubt. Perhaps she
had mistaken the look in his eyes.

first day when they had fed together
from the ordeals. And yet 49,!

an so beautiful as Kathlyn could pos
sibly be without suitors. And when
the Journey down to the sea was re-
sumed he became taciturn and moody,
and Kathlyn's heart CORRESPONDENCE
heavy.
The colonel was quite oblivious to
this change. He swung his legs free
Of the primitive stirrups and whistled
the airs which had been popular in
America at the time Of his departure.
There was no lightness in the ex-
pressions of Ramabai and Pundita.
They were about to lose these white
people forever, and they had grown to
love, nay. worship them. More. they
must return to face they knew not
what.

entalism by appearing unconcerned.

her ears the long howl. She hat
heard It often In the great forests a

there was to BE- . hill. She might
shoot half q dozen Of them. and the
living rend the dead. but the main
pack would follow on and ovsrtake
her.
She swung on upward. catching 4

turned and fred q chance shot in the
direction Of the bowling. Far away
came the roar of one Of the mountain
lions; and the pack Of red wolves be.
came suddenly and magically silent.
Kathlyn made good use Of this inter-
val. But presently the pack raised its
howl again. and she knew that the
grim struggle was about to begin.
She reached the door of the rest
house just as the pack. large one,
came into view. heads down, tails
streaming. Pundita. who was at the
IRE preparing the noon meal, seized
Kathlyn by the arm and hurried her
into the house, barricading the door.
The wolves. arriving. flung themselves
against 1t savagely. But the door was
stout, and only battering ram in hui
man hands could have made it yield.
unfortunately, there was no know
ing when the men folk would return
from their chase of the horses, nor
how long the wolves would lay siege.
The two women tried shooting. though
Pundita was the veriest tyro. being
more frightened at the weapon in her
hands than at the bowling animals out
side. They did little or no damage to
the wolves, for the available cracks
were not at sufficiently good angles.
An hour went by. Kathlyn could hear
the wolves as they crowded against
the door. shifting the sill.
The colonel. Bruce, Ramabai and
Ahmed had found the horses half a
dozen miles away: and they had
thrashed the thieving natives soundly
and instilled the right kind Of fear in
their breasts. At rifle point they had
forced the natives back to the rest
house. The crack of their rifles soon
announced to Kathlyn that the dread
of wolves was thing Of the past. She
wisely refrained from recounting her

. NEAR THE TURN OF
THE GOLD FLOW

Since the war began the Imperial
Bank of Germany has increased it's
gold holdings by $40, 100000. the
Bank of England by some 5000, ,OO0,-
600 1t is well known how the latter
accumulated this great additional
hoard. 1t is more or less Of mys-
terry how the German bank. cut off
from outside supplies, obtained its
great additional hoard.
The explanation given to the Wall
Street Journal by German financier
Is not impossible-that 100000 900
Of the $4,000 600 came from the
war chest at spandau and the rest
from the pockets OF the people in
exchange for paper under wave of
spontaneous patriotic enthusiasm.
The Bank Of England now reports
Q halt in It's gold accumulation. 1t
is likely that the Reichsbank will
soon meet the same experience. These
great boards have been gathered in
under extended liquidation just be-
fore and after the war broke out to
meet war emergencies, as in the pur-
chase abroad OF various supplies.
They will some time come into this
use. and that time cannot be far
away.
France is already borrowing here

England may borrow lat

will. But the borrowing cannot go

notes or supplement the current pur-
chases.
