PIONEER COPPER GROUP
 TO BE REVIVED
CFrom Saturdays Daily)

Arrivals from Mayer yesterday re ported that Celora NJ. Stoddard had been for several days at Copper Noun tain Investigating conditions at the holdings which his father acquired over 30 years ago, and he had an nounced that early operations had been decided upon.
 In the group are IS patented mines, and several thousand feet of develop ment has been given. Ten years have elapsed since any work has been per formed, but previously at intervals production was quite heavy. At dif- ferent points there were many Glory Holes, from which copper of 5 per cent was produced, and treated at a crude smelter erected in 1880. This was the first plant of its kind placed on any property north of the Gila and the remnants of early-day smelling still remain on the ground.
 An inducement for Mir. Stoddard to revive these famed coppers IS the sue cess he made in handling the Bing- hamton. situated only 21l miles to the north, and which from determina- tions made in recent months estab- fish both properties as being on the same contact. Alr Stoddard stated he has perfected arrangements for organizing a company, and operations are to begin immediately.

CIGARETTES NOT FOR
 MINORS, SAYS LAW
(From Saturdays Daily.)

NElOlll oaluiu ud1 . DoAJJ
 Another restriction has been placed on the gay youth. No more shall the limp cigarette hang from the mouth of the dissipated young chap of less than 2l. At least, that is thc intcr, of the law.
 Many inquiries were made yester- day by cigar and tobacco dealers re garding the new anti-cigarette law passed at the last session of the legis- laturc. A copy of this law is found in a book of session laws received yesterday by Justice of the Peace McLane. The law says:
 '299. l. shall be unlawful for any person in the State of Arizona to sell, give or furnish or cause to be sold given or furnished any cigars, cigar cites or cigarette papers, smoking or chewing tobacco of any kind or char acter to any person under the age or 21 years, and it shall be unlawful for any minor in the State of Arizo.a to buy. accept or receive from any per son, any cigars, cigarettes or cigar ctte papers, smoking or chewing to- bacco of any kind or character"
 This law was approved February ?. 1917. It makes it unlawful to sell tobacco to minors, and also unlawful for minors to buy, thus putting the fear of prosecution into both the deal CT and the customer.

CHAPTER w.

It was q musty smelling entrance, so
dark that to see was scarcely possible
after the hot glare outside. Dimly
King made out Rewa Gunga mounting
stairs to the left and followed him.
When he guessed himself two stories
at least above road level, there was a
sudden blaze of reflected light and he
blinked at more mirrors than he could
count. Curtains were reflected In each
mirror, and little glowing lamps, so
cunningly arranged that 1t was not pos
sible to guess which were real and
which were not. King stood still.
Then suddenly, as IL she had done 1t
a thousand times before and surprised
thousand people, little nut-brown
maid parted the middle pair Of cur
tains and said "Salaamr smiling with
teeth that were as white as porcelain.
King looked scarcely Interested and
not at all disturbed.
Rewa Gunga hurried past him,
thrustlng the little maid aside. and led
the way. King followed him into a
long room, whose walls were hung
with richer silks than any he remem-
bered to have seen. In a great wide
window to one side some twenty wom-
en- began at once to make flute music.

King chose divan Mt the rooms
farthest end, near tall curtains that
led into rooms beyond. He turned his
back toward the reason for his choice.
On little ivory-inlaid ebony table
about ten feet away lay knife, that
was almost the exact duplicate Of the
one inside his shirt. He could sense
hushed expectancy on every aide
could feel the eyes Of many women
fixed on him-and began to draw on
his guard as fighting man draws on
armor. There and then he deliberately
set himself to resist mesmerism, which
is the Enst's chief weapon.

to him at once. Because 1t was war

addressed. could be expected to read

"Good!" he chuckled. Lets hope
we get Abdul too. l wonder who he
isw
Still unintcrested in the man who
Swallowed him, he walked back to the
office window and wrote two tele-
grams; one to Bombay. ordering the
arrest of All Mira of the Fort, with
an urgent adtaonition to discover VINO
his man Abdul might be, and to seize
him as soo2 as found: the other to the
station in the north. insisting on close
confinement for SULLIVAN.
That being all the urgent business.
he turned leisurely 10 face his shadow,
and the native met his eyes with the
engaging frankness of an old friend,
coming forward with outstretched
hand. They did not shake hands, but
the man made signal with his fingers
that Is known to not more than a dozen
men in all the world. and that changed
the situation altogether.
"Walk with me-" said King, and the
man fell into stride beside him.
He was Rangar-whlch is to say a
Rajput who, or whose ancestors had
turned Mohammedan. Like many Raj
puts he was not big man, but he
looked fit and wiry; his head scarcely
came above the level Of Kings chin,
although his turban distracted atten'
ton from the fact. The turban was OF
silk and unusually large.
The whitest Of well-kept teeth
cleaning regularly under little black
waxed mustache betrayed no trace OF
betelnut or other nastiness. King was
not so sure that the eyes were brown
and he changed his opinion about their
color q dozen times within the hour
Once he would even have sworn they
were green.
The man was regular Hangar
dandy, of the type that can be seen
playing polo almost any day at Mount

grace due TO practice and heredity-

seen It before. He got up aud reached
for II and brought 1t back. turning II
over and over In his hand.
"a strange knife" he said.
"Yes--from KhinJan," said Rewa
Gunga, and King eyed him as one wolf
eyes another.
"what makes you say It is from
KhinjpnT
"She brought Il from Khinjan caves
herselfi There Is another knife that
matches II, but that Is not here. That

Rewa Gunga laughed.
"Ask her, sahibi Perhaps she will
tell you! Perhaps she will let you
see Who knows2 She Is woman OF
resource and unexpectedness-let her
women dance for you WHILE"
King nodded. Then he got up ana
laid the knife back on the little table.
A minute or so later he noticed that
Mt sign from Rewa Gunga a woman
left the great window place and spir-
tied the knife away.
MAY I have sheet Of paperr" he
asked. for he knew that another fight
for his self-command was due.
Rewa Gunga gave an order, and a
maid brought scented paper on sill
yer tray. He drew out his own foun-
tain pen, and since his one object was
TO give his brain employment, he wrote
down list of the names he had men,
orized In the train on the Journey from
Peshawur, not thinking Of use for
the list until he had finished. Then.
though, a real use occurred to him.
While he began to write more than

CHAPTER III.

Delhi boasts round half-dozen rail-
way stations, all Of them designed with
regard to war, so that to King there
was nothing unexpected in the fact
that the train had brought him to an
unexpected station. He plunged into
1ts crowd much as man in the mood
might plunge into whirlpool. The
ktation screamed echoed. reverberated
hummed. At one minute the whole
building shook to the thunder of a
trimming regiment; an instant later 1t
yclattered to the wrought-steel ham,
mer Of a thousand hoofs, as led troop
horses danced into formation to invade
the Whiting trucks. Soldiers of nearly
every Indian military caste stood about
everywhere. Down the back of each
platform Tommy Atkins stood in Icing
straight lines, talking or munching
great sandwiches or smoking.

snoring prodisis1sly. Then King pulled
out the knife Again and tudied 1t for
half "a hoyf. The blade was of bronze,
with An edge hammered to the keen
moss Of razor. The hilt was Of near
~ pure gold, In the form of woman
dancing. The whole thing was so ex-
quisitely wrought that age had only
softened the lines, without In the least
impairing them. 1t looked like one OF
those Grecian toys with which Roman
women of Nero's day stabbed their
lovers But that was not why he be-
gan to whistle very softly to himself.
Presently he drew out the generals
package Of papers, with the photograph
on the top. He stood up, to hold both
knife and papers close to the light 10
the roof.
1t needed no great stretch Of lmagi-
nation to suggest likeness between
the woman Of the photograph and the
other, of the golden knife-hilt. And
nobody. looking at him then, would
have dared suggest he lacked imagina-
ton.
n the knife had not been so ancient
they might have been portraits OF the
same woman. In the same disguise,
taken ut the same time.
"She knew / had been chosen to
work with her. The general sent her
word that I am coming" he muttered
to himself. "There must have been a
spy watching at Peshawur, who wired
to Rawal-Pindi for this man to jump
the train and 60 on with the job. Why
should she give the man knife with
her own portrait on it? Is she queen
Of a secret society? Well--we shall
seei"
He lay back with his head on the
pillow, and before five minutes more
had gone he was asleep. His mobile
face in repose looked Roman, for the
sun had tanned his skin and his nose
was aquiline. In museums, where
sculptured heads of Roman generals
and emperors stand around the wall
On pedestals, az would not be difficult
b pick several that bore more than q
faint resemblance to him. He had
breadth and depth of forehead and a
FOWL that lent itself to smiles as well
rs sternness, and throat that ex.
pressed manly determination in every
molded line.
He slept like boy until dawn; and
he and Hyde had scarcely exchanged
another dozen words when, the train
screamed next day into Delhi station
Then he saluted stiffiy and was gone.

for natives to hint at possible dissolu-
tion of the AnglO-Indian government.
Everybody knows that the British will
not govern India forever, but the Brit
ish-who know 1t best Of all, and work
to that end most fervently-are the
only ones encouraged to talk about 1t.
For a few minutes after that Rewa
Gunga held his peace, while the car
riage swayed at breakneck speed
through the swarming streets. King,
watching and saying nothing, did not
believe for a second the lame expia-
nation Yasminl had left behind. She
must have some good reason for wish
Ing to be first up the Khyber, and he
was very sorry indeed she had slipped
away. 1t might be only Jealousy, yet
why should she be jealous?
It was tho next remark Of the
Rangar's that set him entirely on his
guard, and thenceforward whoever
could have read his thoughts would
have been more than human. He had
known of that thought-reading trick
ever since his ayah (nstive nurse)
taught him TO lisp Hindustanee; Just
rs surely he knew that It's lmpudent
use was intended to sap his belief In
himself.
"I'll bet you hundred dlbs," said
the Hangar, shat she decided to be
there first md get control of the stu
alton! She's slippery, ana quick, and
like all women, she's Jealous I"
The Rangers eyes were on his, but
King was not to be caught again. 1t is
quite easy to think behind q fence, so
to speak, IL one gives attention to 1t.
"She will be busy presently fooling
those Atridis," he continued, waving
his cigarette. "She has fooled them
always, to the limit of their bally bent.
Yasmini plays her own game, for
amusement and power-a good game
a deep gamei You have seen already
how India has to ask her aid in the
'Hills' She loves power, power,
power-not for its name, for names
are nothing, but to use It."
"How long have you known herY'
asked King.
The Hangar eyed him sharply.
"a long time. She and played to-
gether when we were children. 1t Is
because she knows me very well that
she chose me to travel North with you,
when you start to find her in the
'Hills'p
King cleared his throat, and the
Hangar nodded, looking into his eyes
with the engaging confidence Of a child
who never has been refused anything
in or out Of reason. King made no eff
fort TO look pleased.
Just then the coachman took a last
corner at n gallop and drew the horses
up on their launches at door In q
high white wall. Rewa Gunga sprane
out Of the carriage before the horses
were quite at n standstill.
"Here we arew he said. and Kinf
noticed that the street curved here sc
that no other door and no window
overlooked this one.
| He followed the Hangar, and re was
no sooner into the shadow of the door
than the coachman dashed the horses
and the carriage swung out Of view.
'This way" said the Hangar ovel

but that does not manage its estates
too well, as a rule, nor pay its debts
In hurry.
"Aly name is Rewa Gunga," he said
in low voice. II have a message for
you"
"From whom?"
From herl" said the Hangar. and
without exactly knowing why. or be-
ing pleased with himself, King felt ex-
cited.
They were walking toward the sta
ton exit. King had trunk check In
his hand. but returned 1t to his pocket
not proposing just yet to let the
Hangar overhear instructions regard

still dreamily, and with the chant the
dance began, in and out, round and
round, lazily, ever so lazlly. wreathed
In buoyant gossamer that was scarcely
more solid than the sandalwood smoke
they waited into rings.
King watched them and listened to
their chant until he began to recognize
the strain on the eye muscles that pre-
cedes the mesmerlc spell. Then he
wrote and read what he had written
and wrote again.
"What have you written7" asked &
quiet voice at his ear; and he turned
to look straight In the eyes Of Rewa
Gunga, who had leaned forward to
read over his shoulder. Just for one
second he lowered on the brink Of
quick defeat. Having escaped the
Scylla Of the dancing women. Charyb-
dis waited for him In the shape Of eyes
that were pools Of hot mystery. 1t was
the sound Of his own voice that brought
him back to the world again and saved
his will for him unbound.
"Read 1t, won't you?" he laughed.
IF you know, take this pen and mark
the names Of whichever Of those men
are still In Delhi"
Rewa Gunga took pen and paper and
set mark against some thirty Of th2
names, for King had manner tia
disarmed refusal.
King began to watch the dance
again, for 1t did not feel safe to look
too long into the Rangers eyes. It was
not wise Just then to look too long at
anything or to think too long on any
one subject.
"Ismail Is slow about returning"
said the Hangar.
II wrote at the foot Of the tar" said
King, shat they are to detain him
there until the answer comes"
