and asked the way back to the hun

he understood nothing
But there is one language which is
universal the world over, and that is
sign language. Kathlyn quickly
stopped and drew in the dust the shape
of the rest house Then she pointed
in the direction from whence she hac

unarmed, she felt the need of som.
sort of weapon. So she drew the shape
of rifle in the dust, then produced
four rupees, all she had. The shep
herd gurgled delghtedly, ran into the
hut and returned with rifle of mod

With gesture he signified that it was

experiences. The men had worry
enough.
After hasty meal the journey to-
ward the seaport began in earnest
Umballa's attack had thrown them far
out of the regular track They were
now compelled to make wide detour.
Where the journey might have been
made in three days, they would be
lucky now if they reached the sea I'M
der five. The men took turns in stand
ing watch whenever they made camp,
and Kathlyn and Pundita had no time
for idleness. They had learned their
lessons; no more carelessness, moth
ing but the sharpest vigilance from
now on.
One day, as the pony caravan made
a turn round ragged promontory,
they suddenly paused. Perhaps TWEEN.
ty miles to the west lay the emerald
tinted Persian gulf. The colonel
slipped off his horse, dragged Kathlyn
from hers, and began to execute a
hornpipe. He was like a boy.

Bruce smiled back.
Then he gazed at Kathlyn, who
found herself suddenly filed with
strange embarrassment. In times OF
danger sham and subterflge have nc
place. Heretofore she had met Bruce
as a man. TO whom glance from her

Late that afternoon they were all

Ahmed into a sense of security. But
at dawn, when they awoke cheerfully
to pick up the trail. they found theiI
horses and provisions gone.
The colonel, Bruce and Ahmed, still
armed, never having permitted the
rifles out of their keeping, set oui
grimly in pursuit Of the thieves, while
kathlyn proceeded to forage on heI
own initiative.
She came presently upon a magnifi
cent ravine, half mile in depth
There was a broad ledge some fifteer
feet below. 1t was evidently used as
a goat path, for near at hand stood

of investigation, she made prepare

They were coming up the pathway
behind her. 1t would be simple enough
to descend; but how to get back to the
rest house? There was no time tc
plan; she must act at once. She must
drop down to the ledge and trust tt
her star.
She called out loudly as she swung
downward. The shepherd came run
ming out of his hut, dumfounded al
what he saw.

Freedman, or Russian; more likely
the latter, since this was one OF the
localities where they crossed and re-
crossed with their note books to be
utilized against that day when the
Bear dropped down from the north and
tackled the Lion.
Kathlyn had to go down to the very
bottom of the ravine. She must fol
low the goat path, no matter where 1t
wound for this ultimately would lead
her to the rest house. AS she started
up the final incline, through the cedars
and pines, she heard the bark of the
wolf. the red wolf who hunted in
packs of twenty or thirty, in realty
FAR more menacing than tiger or a
| panther, since no hunter could kill a
whole pack
To this wolf, when hunting his KILL
! the tiger gave wide berth; the bear
took to his cave, and all fleet footed
things of the jungles fled in panic.
Kathlyn climbed as rapidly as she
could. She dared not mount tree, for
the red wolf would outwit her. She
must go on. The bark, or yelp, had
been a signal. but now there came to
her ears the long howl. She had
heard it often in the great forests at
home. 1t was the call of the pack that
there was to be a kill. She might
shoot half a dozen of them, and the
living rend the dead, but the main
pack could follow on and overtake
her.
She swung on upward, catching
sapling here, limb there, pulling her
self over hard bits of going. Once she
turned and fired a chance shot in the
direction of the bowling. Far away
came the roar OF one of the mountain
lions; and the pack of red wolves be-
came suddenly and magically silent.
Kathlyn made good use of this inter
val. But presently the pack raised its
howl again, and she knew that the
grim struggle was about to begin

streaming, Pundita, who was at the
ire preparing the noon meal, seized
Hathlyn by the arm and hurried her
into the house, barrcading the door.
The wolves, arriving, flung themselves
against it savagely. Eut the door was
stout and only a battering ram in hui
man hands could have made it yield.
Unfortunately, there was no know
ing when the men folk would return
from their chase of the horses, nor
how long the wolves would lay siege.
The two women tried shooting, though
Pundita was the veriest tyro being
more frightened at the weapon in her
hands than at the bowling animals out
side. They did little or no damage to
the wolves, for the available cracks
were not at sufficiently good angles.
An hour went by. Kathlyn could hear
the wolves as they crowded against
the door, shifting the sill
The colonel, Bruce, Ramabai and
Ahmed had found the horses half a
dozen miles away; and they had
thrashed the thieying natives soundly
and instilled the right kind of fear in
their breasts. At rifle point they had
forced the natives back to the rest
house. The crack of their rifles soon
announced to Kathlyn that the dread
of wolves was thing of the past She
wisely refrained from recounting her

MASSED TURKS TO
GIVE ALLIES FIGHT

Athens, March Alarmed by the
steady advance of ships of the allied
feet up the Dardanelles and frighten.
cd by the report that England is de
taching large land force to assist in
the campaign to capture Constanti-
nople, the Turks are concentrating on
the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles.
Their leader is to be Essad Pasha,
famous AS the defender of Janina.
Reports come from the Turkish
capital saying that Constantinople
was noticeably stirred when about
100 Turkish soldiers, wounded in the
bombardment of the entrance forts,
were brought to hospitals there. In
a short time many persons there were
firmly convinced that the allies were
about to lombard the city.
1t is claimed here that the former
German cruiser Goeben has been
partly dismantled, twelve of her
powerful ll-inch guns being taken to
shore to assist in the Turkish land
defense against the fleets.

tacks.
The London press gave the govern

evident that Premier Asquith struck
a popular chord in his speech in the
house of commons.
Following the lead of the prime
minister London papers expressed re-
gret that the United States and other
neutrals should suffer.
But without exception they backed
him up in his declaration that the
allies would not be swayed from their
course by the protest of any neutral,
no matter in what terms it is couched.
In effect, they advised neutrals to
stand aside and bear Inconvenience
while the allies deal what they be-

President Wilson refused to discuss

The belligerents respect American

The president said IL is not clear in
his own mind whether the new action
of the British and French govern
ments establishes a blockade of Ger

general effect of the order. He indi-
Gated that, even though a real block
ade were established, no questions
affecting the neutrality of the United
States would be precipitated by the
