and in the presence Of the royal mes
sengers told him the sultans order.
Guard the two till / return!" said
Abdullah. "Thou knowest, my son,
what misfortunes await US if they es-
cape. Should they win a horse and
gain the open country while I am gone,
they might make good their flight.
Dost thou understand me well, oh, my
son?'
Akbar crossed both arms over his
breast and bowed low.
Less than five minutes after his ia
Their had ridden away with the sultan's
people, Akbar-Khan, Mohsen and
Dschemyleh galloped out Of Kanda-
hairs gates and disappeared in the des-
ert.
It had been done so openly that all
Kandahar knew Of it almost at once.
Before night a great band was on their
track. Pressed hard, the fugitives
turned to a watch tower in a ravine,
but the pursuers picked up their trail
and attacked before dawn.
Akbar and Mohsen lay behind the
wooden door and fired through loop
holes, while Dschemyleh loaded their
guns and pistols. The assailants, how
ever, had plentiful supply of firearms
and ammunition. Bit by bit the door
was riddled. Bullets began to rain in
to the tower.
Suddenly Dschemyleh clutched at
her breast and fell. Before Nohsen
could lift her, Akbar dropped, shot
through the temples. Mohsen threw
himself down beside Dschemyleh. The
two embraced. Their lips met in a
kiss. Another salvo drove through
the riddled door and killed them both,
even as they smiled at each other.

washington, Aug. 17.-Issuance of
$7,538, 945,OOO worth of per cent fed.
eral bonds subject only to income sup
ertaxes, war profits and excess profits
taxes, and designed to provide $4,000
100000 for further allied loans and to
retire the $4,000, 100000 non-taxable 3H
per cent issue, now authorized to COZ
er loans to the allies, is contemplated
in suggestions submitted by Secretary
McAdoo today to the house ways and
means committee.
Receipts of the suggestion caused
immediate activity among both Demo
Gratis and Republicans of the commit
tee, many of whom are opposed to the
details of the secretary's plan.
The four per cent interest proposed
probably will be accepted by the COM
mittee. The secretary has impressed
members with the necessity. for
prompt disposal of the bonds and the
possibility of attaining this result by
an increased rate. Only most I'M
reasonable tax rate, it is agreed, can
prevent lively demand for the bonds
at four per cent.
One Of the principal arguments adj
vanced for the secretary's plan is that
1t would protect the small investor.
surtaxes would not apply, under the
revenue bill now before the senate, on
incomes of less than $4,000.
Members of both parties in the
house are demanding the estab lish-
ment of definite bond marketing and
