their eyes wide with awe.
Miss Kathlyn, l am growing a bit
afraid of YOU" said Bruce.
And why?"
I've never seen animals act like
that before. What is it you do to
them?"
Let them know that | am not
afraid of them and that am fond oi
them"
Il am not afraid of them and am
also fond of them. Yet they spit at
me whenever approach"
Perhaps it is black art" The shad
ow of smile crossed her lips. Then
the smile stiffened and she breathed
deeply. For the moment she had for
gotten her father, who stood chained
to a pillar in vile cell. She put hel
hand over her eyes and swayed.
What is it?" he cried in alarm.
Nothing 1 had almost forgotten

Il, too. l am beginning to let All

He loved her. And he feared her

the moment l arrive"
But he was not to meet Umballa
that night Umballa had won his
point in regard to having his prisoners
f1ogged but, oriental that he was, he
went about the matter leisurely. He
ate his supper, changed his clothes
and dallied in the zenana for an hour
The rascal had made a thorough
study of the word suspense" he
knew the exquisite torture OF making
ones victim wait. For the time being
his passion for Kathlyn had subsded.
He desired above all things just then
revenge for the humiliating experience
In the cell; he wanted to put pain and
| terror into her heart. All, she would
be on her knees, begging, begging, and
her father would struggle in vain at
his shackles. Spurned; so be it. She
should have a taste of his hate, the
black mans hate.
And always there would remain the
little dark-haired sister She would
marry him; she would do it to save
her father and sister Then the fill

pearls and emeralds and sapphires!
AS for the other what cared he If
he rotted? 1t gave him the whip hand
over the doddering Council Master
he would be; he would blot out all
things which stood in his path. A king,
till he had gathered what fortune he
needed. Then let the jackals howl.
Accompanied by torch bearers. serv-
ants, and the professional flogger, he
led the way to the cell and flung open
the door triumphantly. For moment
he could not believe his eyes She
was gone. and through yonder win
dow! He'll of all hells of Hind! She
was gone, and he was robbed!
"Out Of your reach this time. you
black devil!" cried the colonel. Go
on. Do what you please with me. I'm
ready"
Umballa ran to the tabaret and
jumped upon It, He saw the tram
pied grass Elephants. And these
doubtless had come from the colonels
camp. He jumped off the tabaret and
dashed to the door,
Follow mel" he cried. Later
Colonel Hare, later!" he threatened
The colonel remained silent.
Up above, In the palace, Umballa
summoned dozen troopers and gave
them explicit orders. He was quite
confident that Kathlyn would be car
ried at once to her fathers bungalow,
II only for change of clothes 1t was
shrewd guess.
AS the iron door changed upon the
sill Colonel Hare leaned against the
pillar and closed his eyes, praying ST.
lently.
At the bungalow Pundita fell at
Kathlyns feet and kissed them.
"Memsahib!" she cried brokenly.
"Pundita!" Kathlyn stopped and
gathered her up in her arms.
After that Ramabai would have died
for her under any torture.
Now, Ahmed, what did my father
mean when he said curse or no

Ahmed evasively.

And now to bed," said Ahmed.
Well for Kathlyn that she had not
the gift of clairvoyance. At the pre-
else moment she put her head upon the
pillow her father was writhing under
the lash; but never n sound came from
his lips. Kit was free, Kit was free!
Tomorrow and tomorrow's tomor-
row you shall feel the lash" cried Um-
balla when he saw that his victim
could stand no more. Once more,
where is the filigree basket?"
Feebly the colonel shook his head.
Tomorrow, then! Up till now you
have known only neglect. Now you
shall feel the active hatred of the man

and pearls and emeralds; you shall
never see them"
Nor shall you!"
Wait and see. There's another way
of twisting the secret from you. Wait;

And this laughter rang in the colo.

mo, memsahib Ahmed will have
me carried to within a few yards of
the gate, and after that it will be easy
to find Durga Ram. All, memsahib. If
you but knew how l hate him!"
After Pundita had departed Ahmed
brought in the leopard. Kathlyn petted
it and crooned, and the magic timbre
of her tones won over the spotted cat.
He purred.
And now they must wait. An hour
flew past. Kathlyn showed signs of
restlessness, and this restlessness con-
veyed itself to the leopard, who began
to switch his tail about.
"Memsahib, you are losing your in
fluence over the cat" warned Ahmed.
Go walk; go talk elephant; and you.
Bruce Sahib, go with her. I'll take
care of the cat"
So Bruce and Kathlyn went the
the rounds of the cages. She was a
veritable enigma to Bruce. Tigers
lost their tenseness and looked
straight into her eyes. A cheetah with
cubs permitted her to touch the wab-
bly, infants, whereas the keeper of this
cage dared not go within foot of it.

PECK" NOT DISSATISFIED.
Yankee shortstop Expected by Don
ovan to Sign Contract.

NEW YORK, January "a former
official of the Yankees yesterday stated
there was no truth in the report that
Shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh was
deeply grieved because he was not
continued as manager of the club un-
der the new regime, and for that rea
son threatened to jump to the Feds.
This official said that when President
Farrell appointed Peckinpaugh to sue
ceed Frank Chance it was plainly with
the understanding that his services in
that position were to continue only to
the end of the unfinished season.
Peckinpaugh has just returned to his
home in Cleveland from trip to Flor
ida, where he has been looking over
possible training camps. Peckinpaugh
left Jacksonville before his contract ar
rived there, and he had not received it
up to a few days ago. This gave rise
to rumors that he was dissatisfied, and
was considering an offer from the Fed
eral League.
Manager Bill Donovan says he is cer-
tain Peckinpaugh will sign within a
short time Donovan left town yes
terday, and 1t is expected he will visit
players who have not signed before re-
turning to this city. Wild Bill ex-
poets to see Marty McHale on the trip
and sign him for next year. McHale
has been doing a lot Of talking lately
and has been limiting that unless the
Yankees meet his salary demands he
would jump to the Federal League.

A plea for good treatment for Walter
johnson has been made by Manager Grtf-
fifth to the fans Of Washington. The leader
Of the Nationals asks that the fact that
his great pitcher had jumped to the Fed
erals should not be held against him, as
he had fully atoned for his mistake.
Griffith made an eloquent plea for his
pitcher while answering toast at the
oyster roast given In his honor by Mayor
Thomas Fisher of Alexandria last night.
'When 1 met Walter in Kansas City
he had tears in his eyes, and he said,
'Griff, / never meant to do 1t, and If the
people of Washington will take me back
I will gladly sign with you. I never
wanted to leave you or Washington

made since he has been in base ball.

Jumping to the Feds, Should Not
Be Held Against Him.

turn here. I have every confidence in
the fairness Of the patrons of the game.
and a player who has been as loyal and
faithful to his club Should not have q
single mistake held up against him.
Manager Griffith received q letter
from Joe Boehling this morning in
forming him that he would be here
next Tuesday and sign his contract.
Boehling is said to have entirely re-
gained the use Of his knee which
bothered him all of last season. and
undoubtedly prevented him from pitch
ing up to his previous form. With the
member properly mended Boehling
can be relied upon to be of much value
to the Nationals pitching staff in the
coming campaign.

noon received the subpoena from the
United States district court of Chicago

WILLARD TO BATTLE
Johnson AT JUAREz
Jack Curley, Promoter, Decides on
Mexican Town for Cham
pionship Bout.

NEW YORK, January 9-Jack john
son and Jess Willard will meet In a
orty-five-round bout for the heavy
weight championship of the world at
Juarez, Mexico, Saturday, March 6.
Final arrangements to this effect
were made here yesterday after other
bids were received from Havana, Cuba,
and Tiajuana, Mexico.
Johnson has been guaranteed $4,000
win, lose or draw, while Willard has
been assured a minimum of $4,000 and
may receive a much larger sum by
sharing interests in the affair with
Jack Curley, the chief promoter, and
his associates.
Other offers to stage the bout came
from Billy Gibson of this city. repre-
senting a syndicate that was desirous
of bringing the bout to Havana, Cuba,
and Jim Coffroth, the California pro-
noter, who wished to have it held near
Tiajuana, Mexico.
Arena in Race Track.
Curley and the other men interested
believed, however, that the assurances
of financial backing and concessions
made by the Mexican officials and sew
for the Juarez proposition promised
better results. The bout will take
place in the Juarez race track. and
the mana cement of the race track
promised suspension of racing for a
few days. if necessary, to facilitate
the erection Of stands there for the ac-
commodation of spectators.
When Johnson signed the articles a
few weeks ago in Europe Curley handed
him $1,000 for expenses. and yesterday
$1,000 more was cabled to him at
Buenos Aires, from which port he will
sail today on his way to Juarez.
Willard Leaves Today.
Jess Willard, who has been in this
city for a few days past. will leave
this morning with his manager, Tom
Jones. for a brief stay at Excelsior
Springs, Mo-, and then proceed to Ell
Paso. where he will finish his training
for the contest He will reach the Ell
Paso quarters about January rs. in all
probability, and expects to weigh
about 230 pounds when he enters the
ring.
Johnson and his handlers will es-
tablish training quarters at Juarez as
soon as he arrives there. The $4,000
which has been given to johnson for
travelling and training expenses will
not be deducted from his guarantee of
$4,000.
