with them a beautiful native young
woman, n Pundita, wife of Ramabai,

To the slave girl who attended
Pundita he said: go summon the
queen. 1t Is for her to decide what

Through the veil Pundita's eyes
sparkled with hatred.
When Kathlyn came in II was at
once explained to her that the wom-

queens property, to dispose Of as she
willed. The veil was plucked from
Pundita's face. She was ordered to
salaam in submission to her queen.
Pundlta salaamed, but stoutly refused
to kneel. They proceeded to force her
roughly, when Kathlyn interviewed.

"Free?' came from the amazed
Pundita's lips. -
You speak English" cried Kathlyn

Vedrines, After Duel, Will Resume
Flight Across Africa.

Paris. Feb. 14.-Jules Vedrines, the
French aviator who recently flew from
Paris to Cairo, arrived from Egypt to-
day and telephoned from the railway
station to two friends. asking them to
act as seconds, in his duel with Rene
Quinton, president of the French Aerial
League.
Vedrines will demand a fight with re-
volvers.
The quarrel arose out of the refusal
of Vedrines to give satisfaction to
Henri Roux, a rival French aviator,
who also had flown after the latter had
struck him in the face. Quinton or
dered Vcdrines to fight Roux and We
driDos replied: II will not fight Roux,
but will fight you as soon as 1 return
to Paris.'
NJ. Eedrines intends to run as a can
didate for the chamber of deputies at
the approaching election. In the mean
time. after fighting NJ. Quinton, he will
return to Cairo in order to take part
in the flight from that city through
