CHAPTER xxvl-con.Inued.

The noise of the chase died away.
Bruce was lighting his pipe. The colo
mel was examining by the firelight q
few emeralds which he had taken from
the basket Ramabai was pleasantly
gazing at his wife. Kathlyn and Win
ME were emerging from the tent, when
a yell greeted their astonished ears.
The camp was surrounded. From one
side came Umballa. from the other
came the mutineers. Kathlyn and
Winnie few to their fathers side. In
between came Umballa, with Bruce
and Ramabai and Pundita effectually
separated. Umballa and his men
closed In upon the colonel and his
daughter. Treasure and revenge!
Bruce made furious effort to Join
Kathlyn, but the numbers against him
were too many. 1t was all done SO
suddenly and effectually. and all due
to their own carelessness. They had
not fully realized the resourcefulness
and devilish ingenuity of the arch vii
lain, Umballa. He had caught them
on their guard and they were again
apparently in his power. What new
form of cruelty were they now to be
subjected to?
Kit" said her father. our only
chance is to refuse to discover to Um-
balla where we have hidden the bas-
ket. Winnie. If you open your lips It
will be death-yours. Kits. mine. To
have been careless like this! o, Kit. on
my honor, II Umballa would undertake
to convey us to the seaport I'd gladly
give him all the treasure and all the
money / have Of my own. But we
know him too well. He will torture
us ALL"
'I have gone through much; l can
go through MORE" calmly replied
Kathlyn. But l shall never wear a
precious stone again, II live. abhor
them!"
, 81 am my fathers daughter" said
Winnie.
Put the howdahs on the two ele-
phants," Umballa ordered.
The men obeyed clumsily. being fish
ermen by occupation and mahouts by
compulsion.
. Kathlyn tried in vain to see where
they were taking Bruce and the others.
Some day, II she lived. she was going
to devote a whole day to weeping. for
she never had time to in this land. The
thought caused her to smile. despite
her despair OF adventure and suffer-
ing and hardship she had had more
than her share since coming to this be-
nighted country. If she ever escaped
she would be content to settle down
to the quiet humdrum Of ordinary ex-
istence for many months.
When the elephants were properly
saddled with the howdahs Umballa
gave his attention to the prisoners. He
hailed them jovially. They were old
friends. What could he do for them?
Conduct us to the seaport" said the
colonel, "and on my word OF honor

Trying to Regain Son and Daughter.
Governor Carlson has been appealed
to as last resort in a five-year fight
Mrs. p. w. Schuman of Denver has
conducted in an effort to regain her
two children, taken from her seven
years ago and placed in the state
home. AS net result of her fight, in
which she spent several hundred dol
lars, Mrs. Schuman was informed that
one of the children was to be taken
to California by his foster parents and
the appeal for executive interference
was made, she declared, after the man
who adopted the boy had written to
her she could regain him by the pay
ment of $50. The children-May, now
12 years old, and Harry. 10-were TAX
en- from a training home in North
Denver by officers of the Juvenile
Court, Mrs. Schuman says, seven
years ago.

city! Those who possessed treasures
dug pits for them in the cellars of
their houses. Within the great temple
there was flutter among the robed
ones. What could they do? They
knew not where the white goddess
was, nor Umballa- They dispatched a
peace messenger to the camp. but the
messenger was sent back before he
had passed the outposts.
When Bruce, Ramabai, Pundita. and
Ahmed halted their elephants before
the temple they were greeted by the
now terrified priests who begged to be
informed what Bala Khan proposed to.
Deliver to US the memsahib."
The priests swore by all their gods
that they knew nothing Of her.
"He speaks the truth" volunteered
Ramabai. as the chief priest fell be-
fore one of his gods. "Umballa has
doubtless entered secretly"
What would you advise? For Gods
sake. think of something. Ramabai!
He may be torturing them!"
Let us enter the temple" said Rar
mabai Ahmed. bring the treasure
and leave 1t in the care Of the priests"
A few moments later Ramabai ad-
dressed the assemblage. "Bala Khan
is hostile. but only for the sake OF his
friends. He lays down this law. how
ever-obey it or disobey it: The Colo
mel Sahib and his daughters are to go
free. to do what they please with the
treasure. Pundita, according to the
will of the late king. shall be crowned.
Obey or disobey. l warn you that
these are not my dictates, but Bala
Khan's."
Peace. peace!" The cry rose from
all directions, even from the priests
themselves.
The high priest held up his hand for
silence. I'VE obey. on one condition
that the new queen shall in no manner
interfere with her old religion nor at
tempt to force her new religion into
the temple"
To this Pundita agreed.
"Ramabai, soldiers! To the house
of Umballa! We shall find them
there!" cried Ahmed.
Umballa squatted upon his cushions
on the terrace. The second bar had
been removed. The beasts were press
ing their wet muzzles to the openings
and growing deep challenges.
"Once more, and for the last time
will you reveal the hiding place Of the
treasurer"
Not a word from the prisoners. II

Then he was thrown out into the

And there Bruce found him ant

The events which followed were o

The proper purpose Of punishment
