and let go; and in the boat Umballa
felt his turban stir mysteriously. The
report which instantly followed was
enough to convince him that he in par
ticular was being made target. He
crouched behind Kathlyn, while two or
three of the soldiers returned the shot,
aiming at the clump Of scrub from
which q film Of pale blue smoke is
sued. They waited for another shot,
but none came.
The reason was this: the herd Of
wild elephant which Bruce and the
colonel had heard came charging al
most directly toward them, smashing
young trees and trampling the tough
underbrush. Some of them made for
the water directly in line with the
passing boats. Kathlyn, keenly alive
to the fact that here was a chance,
jumped overheard before Umballa
could reach out staying hand.
To Kathlyn there was only death in
the path of the elephants: to remain
on the barge was to face eventually
that which was worse than death. Her
arm throbbed painfully, but in the des-
perate energy with which she deter
mined to take the chance she used It.
Quite contrary to her expectations, her
leap was the best thing she could have
done. Most OF the barges we're upset
and the great beasts we're laundering
across the river between her and the
barges.

In the ensuing confusion Umballa es-

They waited at Bruce's camp an
hour. A litter was seen swaying to
and fro, with coolies on the run. All
med ran forward and hailed 1t. A mo-
ment later Kathlyn and her father
were reunited
In Gods name, Bruce, let us get
out of this damnable country; / am
dying for want of light, air, food!"
They lifted the colonel into how
dah and started south, urging the ele-
plants at top speed. No sooner had
they left the river than some native
boats landed at the broken camp. glee-
fully picking up things which had
been left behind In the rush.

Perhaps! So long as | remain in

laughed at it; but not now!"
Umballa at length found his cap
tain.
Follow mel" he cried in a fury.
He led them back to the colonel's
camp, but those he sought had flown.
He reasoned quickly. The trail led
toward the camp of Bruce Sahib, and
along this he led his men, arriving in
time to find the native boatmen leav-
ing for their boats.
A hurried question or two elected
the direction taken by the fugitives.
Umballa commandeered the boats.
There was some protest, but Umballa
threatened death to those who op-
posed him, and the frightened natives
surrendered. The soldiers piled into
the boats and began polling down
stream rapidly. A mile or two below
there was ford and to go south the
pursued must cross 1t.
Later, pursuer and pursued met, and
a real warfare began, with death toll
on both sides. Bruce and Ahmed kept
the elephants going, but in the middle

pect some sign of gratitude from her;
but as he touched her she shrank in
loathing. His anger famed and he
flung her roughly into seat.
Suffer, then, little fooli"
Meantime the colonel and Bruce dis
mounted and tried to stem the tide OF
fleeing coolies but 1t was no more eff
fective than blowing against the wind.
They found, however, an abandoned
pack containing cartridge cases, and
they filled their pockets, calling to
Ramabai and Pundita to follow them
along the river in pursuit of Umballa's
barge, which was now being rapidly
poled upstream. They might be able
to pick off enough soldiers. sharpshoot-
ing, to make it impossible to man the
barge. They were both dead shots,
and the least they could do would be
to put the fight on a basis of equality
so far as numbers were concerned.
The colonel forgot all about how
weak he was. The rage and despair
in his heart had once more given him
a fictitious strength.
THE curse, the curse. always the
curse!"

is only misfortune. Now I'm going to

had toppled Kathlyn into the river. In
the confusion, the rattle of musketry.

coolies who had fled helter-skelter for

plants, she had forgotten to crouch
low in the howdah. There had come
a staggering blow, after which sky and
earth careened for a moment and be-
came black then the chill of water
and strangulation, and she found her
self struggling in the deepest part of
the ford, a strange deadness in one
arm She had no distinct recollection
of what took place; her one thought
was to keep her head above water.
Instantly the firing ceased; on one
side because there were no more car
tridges, on the other for fear of hitting
the one person who had made this pur-
suit necessary.
Kathlyn struggled between the ele-
phant which carried Ramabai and Pun
dita and the boat or barge which held
the eager Umballa and his soldiers.
The mahout, terrorized, had slid off
and taken to his heels ingloriously.
Thus Ramabai could do nothing to aid
Kathlyn. Nor could the elephant rid

Umballa was quick to see his advan-

toward the helpless girl. The colonel
raised his rife and aimed at Umballa,

She was his again; he would have
the pleasure of taking her from under
the very eyes of her father and lover.
His star never faltered.
Bruce stood up in the howdah. ready
to dive; but the colonel restrained
him.
