oueerest Dance In the World.

The Godavari dance of the malay
ers. or drummers. of Malabar is a very
popular function when the native
farmers are taking their ease after the
hard work OF harvest. The principal
character is a weird figure supposed
to represent the sacred COW OF the
gods, Kamachenu. A small boy car

formers, decked out in primitive fash.
ion with painted bodies and hideous
masks, go through a weird dance, ac-
companied by much drum beating and
singing. Wherever 1t goes the coe
is supposed to shower blessings ann
prosperity, and so, ostensibly to please
the animal, but in reality to satisfy
the dancers, presents of money, sddy
or rice are given to the performers.
This custom has been in existence
from time immemorial and Is likely
to continue as long as agriculture en-
dures among the Hindus Of Malabar.-

CHAPTER n.

Sally clambered lightly over the
fence and started on the last stage of
her journey, the climb across the
young corn rows. II was field stood
on end. and the hoed ground was I'M
even; but with no seeming OF weari-
ness her red dress flashed steadfastly
across the green spears. and her voice
was raised to shout: Hello, Samson"
The young man looked up and waved
a languid greeting. He did not remove
his hat or descend from his place OF
rest, and Sally, who expected no such
attention, came smilingly on. Samson
was her hero. Slow OF utterance and
difhdent with the stranger, words now
came fast and fiuently as she told her
story OF the man who lay hurt at the
foot OF the rock.
Hit hain't long now tell sundown,"
she urged. Hurry, Samson, an git
yore mule. I've done give him my
promise ter fotch ye right straight
back"
Samson took of his hat, and tossed
the heavy lock upward from his fore
head. His brow wrinkled with doubts.

While Sally sketched a description.
the young mans doubt grew graver.
This hain't no fit time ter be takin'
in folks what we hain't acquainted
WITH" he objected. In the mountains
any time is the time to take in strang-
ers unless there are secrets to be
guarded from outside eyes.
"Why hain't it?" demanded the girl.
"He's hurt. We KANT leave him layin'
thar, kin WEI"

the rife leaning near by, and straight
way they filled with apprehension

Grand Union Hotel and being a
humorist of nationwide reputation at

modesty in reply to question OF the

his communication in this way:

mans voice, which was still very deep
and powerful.
Hello, Unc' Spencer!" replied the
boy.
Then followed a silence unbroken
until the mule reached the group, re-
vealing that besides the boy another
man-and a strange man-had joined
their number.
"Evenin, stranger" they greeted
him, gravely; then again they fell
silent, and in their silence was evil

Certain sounds are battling as to d.

broken by echoing obstacles does not
readily betray its source. Finally she
stood up and listened once more in
tently-her attitude full of tense ear

I'm shore a fool" she announced,
half aloud I'm shore plumb fool.
Then she turned and disappeared in
the deep cleft between the gigantic
bowlder upon which she had been sit
ting and another-small only by COM
parison. There, ten feet down, IN a
narrow alley Uttered with ragged
stones, lay the crumpled body OF a
man. It lay with the left arm doubled
under 1t, and from a cash in the fore
head trickled a thin stream Of blood.
Also, II was the body OF such man
as she had not seen before.
Although from the man came low

was not such a sound as comes from

Freed from her lettering excess OF
shyness by his condition, the girl
stepped surely from foothold to foot

stood for a moment with one hand on

down while her hair fell about heI

Yes. of course" The man suddenly
realized that although he was quite
comfortable as he was he could
scarcely expect to remain permanently
in the support of her bent arm. He
attempted to prop himself on his hurt

IRENE pain. The color, which had be-
