What's all this, Elaine?" demanded

Hurriedly, Elaine poured forth to

Bennett finally suggested to Aunt 10

A few moments later. in the Dodge
car, Elaine, the medium and her two
escorts started for the Chinese quar-
tiers.
At the house the medium opened the
door with her key and ushered in her
three visitors.
Entering the room, the medium at
once prepared for the seance by pull

Suddenly an indistinct face was seen
to be peering through the black cur

heard in slow and solemn tones.

Meanwhile, the Chinese devil wor-
shippers had again gathered in their
cursed temple and Long Sin, in his
priestly robe. appeared on the dais.
The worshipers kotowed rever-
emily to him, while at the back again
stood the aged Chinaman patiently
turning his prayer wheel
Two braziers, or smoke pots, had
been placed on the dais, one Of which
Long Sin touched with stick, caus-
ing Il to burst out into dense fumes.
Standing before them. he chanted
in nasal tones: "The white consort Of
the great Ksing Chau has been found.
It Is his will that she now be made
his"
AS he finished intoning the message,
Long Sin signaled to two young China
men to go into the anteroom. A mo-
ment later they returned with Elaine.
Frightened though she was, Elaine
made no attempt to struggle, even
when they had cut her bonds.
They carried her up to the dais. and
now Long Sin faced her and sternly
ordered her to kotow to the grue-

She refused. but instantly the China
men seized her arm and twisted it,

Aunt Josephine finally agreed. Very

out Of the room in q high state Of
indignation.
She had scarcely left the house,
however, when she began to suspect
that all was not as it ought to be. In
fact, the idea had no sooner occurred
to her than she decided to call on
Kennedy and she ordered the chauf-
feur to take her as quickly as possible

THE DEVIL WoRsHIPERs
! Elaine was seated In the drawing
room with Aunt Josephine one after
noon, when her lawyer, Perry Ben

He had hardly greeted them when
the butler. Jennings. in his usual im-
passive manner announced that Aunt
Josephine was wanted on the tele-
phone.

alone than Elaine. turning to him. ex-
claimed:

Sayetsky did not lose jot Of her re-
markable composure.

and whatever object she had IN mind.
AS the detective took her again and
twisted her arm until she cried out

She had evidently been attempting to
press a button that rang concealed
bell.
What did 1t mean?
Elaine, now completely unconscious,
was being held by the Cinnamon,
while her arm was smeared with
sticky, black material from the caul-
dron Of Long Sin.
Suddenly the aged Chinaman with
the prayer wheel stopped his inces-
SAINT, impious turning, and. rising, held
up his hand as II to command atten-
ton.
"This Is nonsense" he cried in
loud voice. why should our great

dered the intruder on the dais. But
the aged devotee refused to go.

For answer, as the two young

man threw them down to the
floor with a quick iiu-jitsu movement.
Furious now beyond expression,
Long Sin stepped forward. He seized
the beard and queue of the intruder.
To his utter amazement they came

Compensation Law.

Payments Small Under the Federal
Compensation Law.
In the FIRST five years during which
the federal workmen's compensation
law was in effect 1868 claims were
filed and 14.046 allowed. Of which 437
were for fatal accidents. The total
compensation paid for all accidents
was $1,s0O0o0. of which more than
$732, 900 went to the 6,315 employees OF
the isthmian canal commission.
The law went into effect on May 30.
1908, and was the pioneer statute pro-
viding for accident compensation.
Since that time twenty-four states

however, making more liberal allow
ances. It is estimated that $4,000 per-
sons, or about one-fourth Of the civil
ian employees Of the government. are
covered by the law. Under the federal
law compensation payments cease
when an employee is able to resume
WORK. The department of labor points
out that the compensation awarded is
insufficient in many cases. Fracture OF
an arm or a leg led to compensation
payments of less than $25, the loss OF
an eye $50 to $50 and in the case OF a
right arm the injured workman re-
ceived less than $50. In each OF three
cases the loss of both legs brought the
sufferer only 1877.

The Advance Of Labor.

In 1909 twenty-four members Of the
Shoemakers' union of New York. then
recently organized. were arraigned be-
fore De Witt Clinton. mayor of New
York. and Alderman Peter A. Mesier
and Thomas Carpenter as justices OF
the sessions. The shoemakers were
charged with conspiring in that they
had combined to extort money from
master shoemakers by agreeing not to
work for less than a specified scale Of
wages. The defendants were found
guilty. and against each Of them fine
was assessed. Labor unions for col
lective bargaining with respect to
wages were suppressed and did not
appear again for forty years Then
they won the right to exist. and; says
the New York Globe, for half a CEN
tury the legality of organizations for
the purposes named was not seriously
questioned.
