furious tiger leap to freedom.
Keep your eyes shut. 1t will not be
a pleasant thing to look at" he warned
the girl.
But Kathlyn could not have closed
her eyes IL she had tried. She saw the
brute pause. turn. and strike at the
helpless man at the wheel. then lope
off. doubtless having in mind to test
his freedom before he fed.
The remaining brigands rushed out
and gathered up the bags of rupees.
This was the opportunity for which
Bruce had waited.
Come. There may be some outlet
to this cave. Here Is another rife.
Let us cut for It! When thieves fall
out; you know the old saying"
They ran back several yards and
discovered a kind OF chasm leading
diagonally upward.
Thank God! We can get out Of this
after all. Are you strong enough for q

I've got to be-John!"
Trust me. Kathlyn." he replied sim
ply. He had but one life. but he de-
termined then and there to make It
equal or outlast the six lives which
stood between him and liberty.
The brigands. having succeeded In
their mutiny. bethought themselves Of
their prisoners, only to find that they
had vanished. Familiar with the cave
and It's outlet, they started eagerly in
pursuit. They reasoned that IL an old
man was worth three bags of rupees.
two young people might naturally be
worth twice as much. And besides,
being tigers. they had tasted blood
A shout caused Bruce to turn. In
stantly he raised his rife. and pulled
the trigger The result was merely a
snap. The gun had not been loaded.
He snatched Kathlyn's rifle. but this.
too, was useless. The brigands yelled
exultantly and began to swarm up the
ragged cliff. Bruce flung aside the
gun and turned his attention to a
boulder. Half way up the chasm had
a width which was little broader than
the shoulders of an ordinary man. lie
waited till he saw the wretches within
yard or SO of this spot. then pushed
and bounded, and before 1t reached
the narrow pathway Bruce had started
a mate to 1t. Then third followed.
This caused n terrific slide of rocks
and boulders, and the brigands turned
for their lives.
That will be about all for the pres
ent." said Bruce, wiping his forehead.

"Kathlyn." she said.

and no words were needed. Thus
quickly youth discards its burdens!
That he did not take her into his
arms at once proved the caliber Of the
man. And Kathlyn respected him
none the less for his control. She
knew now. and she was certain that
her eyes had told him as frankly as
any words would have done; and she
fell into his stride, strangely embar.
rassed and not little frightened. The
firm grasp OF his hand as here and

Kathlyn was beginning TO lose both
faith and heart. The sight of her
father being led back to Allaha by
Durga Ram. after all the misery to
which he had been subjected. shook
the courage which had held her up
these long. unhappy weeks. For she
realized that her father was still weak.
and that any additional suffering
would kill him.

WHY DRINKERS ARE FAT.

The labor leaders are beginning to
teach through the pages Of their jour
nails the nature and effects of alcohol
upon the physical organism. The fol-
lowing is from the United Mine Work
ers' Journal:
Not all hard drinkers are fat, but
the tendency of alcoholics to obesity
is too marked to escape notice, A
well-known doctor says it is because
the alcohol usurps the function OF the
fat, which accumulates. This is how
he explains it:
1T is noticeable that those addicted
to the use of alcoholic beverages offer
reveal a tendency to corpulence which
is proportionate to their use of the
| drug. The fatness is not sign of
health. 1t is not even an indication
that alcohol is harmless. 1t is merely
the result of the complete oxidizatioh
| of the substance of alcohol by the
human body. The body will oxidize q
two-ounce quantity of alcohol in "a
hours. and will do it SO completely
that no trace of alcohol can be found
in any excretory substance. This SIM
ply means that the unnatural heat pro-
duced in the body by the presence of
the stimulant answers, for the time
being at least, for what would other
wise be produced by the expenditure
! of fats and carbohydrates. These lat
ter are the fuel stored up by the body
and normally burned up in the pro-
duction of necessary bodily heat
though not natural heat-and this
expenditure is avoided. The fat Is
therefore stored up in the body un-
used, and corpulence is the necessary
result. This. of course, is not nor
NAL condition nor a proper process
It becomes more unnatural with in
! creasing use OF alcohol"

The music of the Negro, like the
music of the Indian, has caused much
INK to be spilled. Some enthusiastic
Souls have looked to the rhythms of
the red man for the melody that is to
create American music; In fact, some
| nave gone so far as to declare that
the only possible American music can
be Indian music. Which is all very
interesting and absolutely inconclu-
sive. The fact remains that Indian
composers, in any fair sense of the
term, do not exist; while we have
| among us many talented and we'll
trained Negro creative musicians 1t
| was with one of these that a New
YORK Tribune representative talked
last week, with a man who has writ
ten very large proportion of the
so-called modern dances. The man
was Jesse Rees Europe, the COM
| poser of all the Castle dances, and
the director of Europe's orchestra, an
organization which has all but secured
complete control of the cabaret and
dance field in the city. Mr.. Europe is
a well-trained musician and a man
who has thought deeply on the musi-
cal possibilities of his race, and of
these possibilities he has firm and
well defined opinions.
Il am striving at present to form
an orchestra of Negroes which will be
able to take its place among the Sc
rious musical organizations of the
| country" said Mr.. Europe
The Tempo club now contains
about two hundred members, all mu-
sicians, and from this body l supply
at present a majority of the orches-
tras which play in the various cafes
of the city and also at the private
dances. Our Negro musicians have
nearly cleared the field of the so-called
gypsy orchestras. The Negro, while
not generally equal to the demands
of the more sophisticated forms of
music, is peculiarly fitted fo9 the mod
ern dances. l don't think it too much
to say that he plays this music better
than the white man simply because
all this music is indigenous with him.
Rhythm is something that is born in
the Negro, and the modern dances
require rhythm above all else.
Il myself do not consider the mod
ern dances a step backward. The
one-step is more beautiful than the
old two-step, and the fox-trot than the
schottische, of which 1t is a develop
ment. AS to the so-called dance craze,
it does not appear to be craze /
have had probably as good an oppor-
tunity to observe the various dances
as anyone in the city, and I have
found that dancing keeps husbands
and wives together and eliminates
much drinking, as no one can dance
and drink to excess However, these
are questions for philosopher and
not for a musician"
The Negro farmer reads no bull
letins, few agricultural journals, and
seldom sees the daily or semi-weekly
market reports published in our pa
pers. He has not taken any interest
in the subject of transportation.
Freight, express and parcel post rates
and their relative value and the i'm
portance of this service do not inter
est him, as he has nothing to ship.
Demand and supply appeal to him only
to the amount of food required or de-
manded to supply his appetite. He
has never been taught anything about
farm accounts, and so his receipts
and expenditures have no safe check,

To ambitious Negro and Indian stu
dents, the following courses are Of
fered Academic-normal, covering
four years of work for those who are
preparing to become teachers; an ag
ricultural course of four years, and
trade course of four years in any
one of 13 trades, including the build
ing industries, as well as such indoor
trades as tailoring and printing.
In 1914 and thereafter" accord
ing to the latest announcement, "a
diploma from the Hampton school will
indicate that the recipient has done
at least four years of work beyond
the grammar grades. 1t will be the
policy of the school to grant diploma
to no one who has not received suffi-
cient vocational training to make self
support possible at some skilled oc-
cupation
In all the industrial courses lead
ing to diploma, fixed minimum of
academic work is required; indeed, it
is regarded as an essential part of
all industrial courses"
In the agricultural course the Hamp-
ton student has the opportunity of
learning the best modern practice in
field, garden, orchard, greenhouse,
horse barn, dairy and poultry houses.
Hampton sends out agricultural mis-
sionaries.'
Mere bigness has never been goal
at Hampton. Every department has
grown in natural response to the
pressing needs of the races receiving
training. Today, between twelve and
thirteen hundred students, including
some forty Indians, are enrolled.
These figures include some four hun
dred children in the Whittier school,
which is a neighborhood elementary
school, and is used by Hampton insti-
tute as a training school for teachers.
The student life at Hampton insti-
tute tends to develop character. In
the dormitories, on the parade ground,
on the football field, in the cabins of
the old and lowly, indeed, at every
turn, fortunate Negro and Indian
youths who reach Hampton are receiv-
ing valuable training in self-control
In obedience, in courtesy, in team
work. From the rising bell, which
sounds at $50 in the morning, un
til taps at $3.50 at night, the
Hampton students are being trained

spect for authority, and applied Chris
tianity. Hampton institute stands for
all that aids in training Negroes and
Indians to become earnest, industri-
Gus, Christian citizens. 1t teaches
the dignity of labor, the happiness of
service, and the value of moral and
