New Facts About Cancer.

A study of 1000 cases of cancer Of
the stomach reveals the fact that this
disease claims more men than women
as its victims and that it occurs most
frequently between the ages of forty
and sixty years. Ulcer of the stom-
ach, on the other hand, appears most
frequently between the ages of twen-
ty and forty years. In over 80 per
cent of the cases of cancer heredity
seemed TO play no part whatever.

"Now!" cried Bruce.
He flung the rope from his hands

Candy a Good Food.

One often hears discussions as u
whether candy is good or bad thing
to eat. The truth is that most of the
candy sold here in America is Of good
quality, and as it contains sugar and
glucose it is a good food. One point
should never be forgotten in regard
to candy-namely, that although 1t is
a healthy and nutritive food it should
always be eaten after meals. If 1t is
eaten before meals it destroys the ap
petite and thus makes people eat less
than they should of their ordinary ar
ticles of diet.

could see the lean striped body, of the
furious tiger leap to freedom.
Keep your eyes shut. 1t will not be
pleasant thing to look al" he warned
the girl.
But Kathlyn could not have closed
her eyes If 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 rifle.
Let us cut for 1t! When thieves fall
out; you know the old saying"
They ran back several yards and
discovered kind Of chasm leading
diagonally upward.
Thank God! We can get out of this
after all. Are you strong enough for a
stiff climb?"
1--WE 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 1t
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 its outlet, they started eagerly In
pursuit. They reasoned that If 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 rifle, 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 hao
a width which was little broader than
the shoulders of an ordinary man. He
waited till he saw the wretches withir

the boulder. 1t roared and crashed

him not to persecute Ramabai and his
wife further, on pain Of death. He
had found these notes at the door oi

death of Ramabai; but here was g

Hare, in peril, has summoned her. leaves
her home in California to go to him In
Allaha, India. Umballa, pretender to tho
Throne, has imprisoned the colonel, named
by the late king as his heir. Arriving IN IN
Alfalfa, Kathlyn is informed by Umbaila
hhat her father being dead, she Is to be
queen and must marry him. She refuses
and is informed by the priests that no
woman can rule unmarried. She Is given
seven days to think It over. She still re-
fuses, and Is told that she must undergo

Bruce, an American, saves her life. The

She takes refuge In a ruined temple. but

treat In the jungle only to fall into the
bands OF slave traders. Kathlyn is
brought to the public mart In Allaha and

submissive. throws her into the dungeon

Umballa sent a messenger on be-
fore, for h loved the theatrical,
which is innate in all orientals. he
desired to enter the city to the shrlll-
ing of reeds and the booming Of TOM
toms; to impress upon this unruly
populace that he, Durga Ram, was
man of his word, that when he set out
to accomplish q thing 1t was as good
as done. His arrival was greeted with
cheers, but there was an undertone OF
groans that was not pleasant to his
keen ears. Deep in his heart he cursed,
for by these sounds he knew that only
the froth was his, the froth and scum
OF the town. The iron heel; so they
would have 1t In preference to his
friendship. o, for some way to trap
Ramabai, to hold him up in ridicule'
to smash him down from his PEDESTAL
known but as yet unseen!
He wondered IL he would find any
more Of those anonymous notes re-
lating to the inviolable person OF Ra-
mabai. Woe to him who laid them
about. could he but put his hand upon
him! He, Durga Ram, held Allaha In
the hollow of his hand, and this day he
would prove it.
So he put a rope about the waist OF
Colonel Hare, and led him through the
streets, as the ancient Romans he had
read about did to the vanquished. He
himself recognized the absurdity OF
alt these things, but his safety lay in
the fact that the populace at large
were incapable of reasoning for them
selves; they saw only that which was
visible to the eye.
On the palace steps he harangued
the people, praising his deeds. He
alone had gone into the wilderness
and faced death to ransom their law
full king. Why these bonds? The
king had shirked his duty; he had be
trayed his trust; but in order that the
people should be mo longer without
shead. this man should become theil
prisoner king; he should be forced te
sign laws for their betterment. With
out tho royal signature the treasury
could not be touched. and now the
soldiers should be paid in fun.
From the soldiers about came wNt
huzzahs.

Kit, am going to get you and your
father out of all this, If but for one
thing"
And what is that?" curious in her
turn.
I'll tell you later" And there the
matter stood.
The journey to the village proved
frightfully exhausting. The two were
in sorry plight when they reached
the we'll.
The camel men were overjoyed at
the sight Of them.
For hours they had waited in dread,
contemplating flight, which would take
them anywhere but to Bala Khan, who
rewarded cowardice In one fashion
| only. For but for their cowardly in
activity, their charges might by now
be safe in the seaport toward which
they had been journeying. So they
brought food for the two and begged
that they would not be accused OF
cowardice to Bala Kahn.
Poor devils!" said Bruce. Had
they shown the least resistance those
brigand chaps would have killed them
off like rats" He beckoned to the head
man. Take us back to Bala Khan in
the morning, and we promise that no
harm shall befall you. Now, find us
place to sleep"
Nevertheless, 1t was hard work to
keep that promise. Bala Khan stormed
and swore that death was too good for
the watery hearts Of his camel men.
They should be crucified on the wall.
Kathlyn's diplomacy alone averted the
tragedy Finally, with good deal OF
reluctance, Bala Khan gave his word
