mist, too, was growing thicker. 1t was
time to make move.
King rose. "Pack the mule and bring
my horse !" he ordered and they hur-
ried to obey with alacrity born Of new
respect, Darya Khan attending to the
trimming of the mules load in person
instead Of snarling at another man. It
was very different little escort from
the one that had come thus far. Like
King himself, it had changed its very
nature in fifteen minutes
They brought the horse and King
laughed at them, calling them idiots
men without eyes.

So Darya Khan led the way with his
rifle, and Kings face glowed in ciga-
rette light not very far behind him as
he legged his horse up the narrow
track that led northward out of the
Khyber bed. It would be long time
before he would dare smoke a cigar
again, and his supply of cigarettes was
destined to dwindle down to nothing
before that day. But he did not seem
to mind.

CHAPTER TX.

King repacked the loads, putting
everything back carefully into the big
leather envelopes and locking the
empty handbag, after throwing In a
few stones for Ismail's benefit. Then
he went to sit in the moonlight, With
his back to a great rock and waited
there cross-legged to give his brother
time to make good retreat through
the mist. When there was no more
doubt that his own men, at all events,
had failed to detect the lieutenant, he
put two fingers in his mouth and
whistled.
Almost at once he heard sandals
come pattering from both directions.
AS they emerged out Of the mist he
sat silent and still. It was Darya Khan
who came first and stood gaping at
him, but Ismail was a very close Sec
ond, and the other three were only a
little behind. For full two minutes
after the man with the sore stomach
had come they all stood holding one
another's arms, astonished. Then
"Our sahib-King sahib-where Is
he?" asked Ismail.
"Gonei"
Even Kings voice was so completely
changed that men who had been reared
amid mutual suspicion couldinot recog-

Somebody Surely Must
Have Been OFF the Job.

II is a joyous and juvenile headline
that We read in Detroit paper, that
the famine in New York is branded as
a myth and that Wages in Some Cases
Are Found Inadequate. Loose Buying
Blamed"
AS matter of fact a very large per-
centage of the wage earners of New
York receive salary of 5000 per year.
They are mainly foreigners and have
families ranging from three to six chill
dren.
They follow the advice of the Bible
and live and replenish the earth.
II would be interesting to know what
the Bible would have 10 say regarding
the present situation when the food has
been taken from the people by packers.

and all the rest of the hoggish gang for
the sake Of lining their already over
flowing pockets with more gold.
The war has given the greatest oppor-
tunity for this sort of manipulation, and
until the tie-up of boats by the German
trouble all was going meTily for the
aforesaid jugglers and the public had
been made TO feel that the high cost OF
living was entirely due to shortage OF
crops
With the unbelievable patience and
docility of the poor. of which "the pub
lie" is mainly composed, they resigned
themselves to the inevitable.
How il leaked out that food had been
permitted to spoil in the freight cars
near New York city, while children were
less than half fed, we do not know.

Opinion of Others

Il Is right and necessary TO have

Il is equally necessary always Ia

The standards employed. in fact.

nlischieyous agency. prestige.
Prestige impels people TO judge
others by eXternals and accidentals.
II gives spurious worth 10 such
things az dress. wealth, family his
tory. social position. and so forth.
Persons favored in any OF these
respects are Likely TO be rated coo
high. Persons not so favored are
likely to be rated too low. And. un.
happily, just because they do not
possess prestige they are by many
people treated coldly, perhaps dis.
painfully and contemptuously.
Such treatment, IL they fail To rec.
ognize whence II springs, and n they
have any marked degree OF sensl.

in them feeling OF inferiority. Con.

Here Is something worth thinking

Ask yourself seriously whether IN
