ing the Rajah's anger six months pre-
viously. He had, in fact. rescued an
unfortunate slave who was about to
be thrown to the Rajah's pet tiger.
The ruler had hated him cordially
ever since, and Lofts suspected what
fate was awaiting him.
He faced the king with steady eyes.
The Rajah smiled. LOFTS did not
smile.
This means rebellion" he asked.
The Rajah nodded. % yes, yes,

LOFTS, guarded by two soldiers OF
the native army, followed in the wake
of the palanquin.
Arrived at the palace, he was es-
corted to a Observation-Disclosures suite
of rooms and left under close guard.
He spent the remainder OF the day
there. He wondered what particular
form of cruelty the Rajah was de-
vising for him. From his impression
of the Rajah's character he assumed
that the pleasanter the preliminaries'
the more distasteful the sequence
would be.
On the following morning at day
break he was aroused by two OF the
Rajah's men and escorted toward the
throne room. Before reaching the en-
trance, however. his guard turned
aside and led him down flight o.
stone stairs that led into dungeon.
AS Lofts gazed about him in thu
profound darkness. he became aware
that he was moving upward. The dun

which have fallen into German hands,
upon clearance papers believed ms
leading. have been the subject oil
complaint by Great Britain To pre-
vent such incidents the British con-
traband patrol was tightened, 1t Is
believed.
Cargoes of coal. which were
"seized" by German warships in both
the Pacific and Atlantic, after being
shipped from United States ports ana

NAV become the subject OF repre-
sentations to Germany. American
