He struck across Bond Street and
Hanover Square, and then, walking
quickly. turned into the short cut at
the back Of Regent Street.
The cool night air rested him.

1t was striking half past one as he
found the little street he wanted.
There was only one lamp at the Tar
end
Mice, cheerful ole, l don't think"
he decided.
He walked down the street till he
reached No. 7. 1t was a little tobacco

the little sheltered doorway and look.

Just then a car slid down the street

Still hidden, he waited.
A man passed him; beneath the

In the light Of the lamp the man
carried Gorde looked regal. autocratic
"a ruler.
His tall form. in its flowing gold and
emerald silk robes: his austere face
surmounted by the high white turban
with its one flaming jewel. presented
an effect Of splendor and barbaric
power. From near at hand there came
the sound Of chanting.
The man flung open the door. A
great cry swelled out.
"Deen! Deem"
Gorde. lifting his hand as though in
benediction. responded to the cry
"Deen!" he said In clear, resonant
voice.
He walked slowly. his hands uplift-
ed, while on either side, down the long
vaulted room. supported by massive
pillars, the crowd sank low in obei-
sance.
Two huge swinging lamps threw a
glare Of light.
Gorde mounted the high ivory
throne, standing between two carved
stone pillars. and beckoning to the

vague hint Of insolence in his fresh
young voice.
A murmur of resentment ran
through the crowd.
"Darest thou doubt the virtue Of

The young man subsided.

discontentedly.

At the far end, behind the two

The crowd advancing with reverent
hands. plucked his turban from his
head and relieved him of his silken
garments.
The golden gates before the shrine
were opened, and deep below there
burned fire; its resinous perfume
crept among the worshipers.
Gorde rising, advanced to the shrine.
His face and eyes seemed to fame
with fanaticel passion.
With loud cry he plunged his hand
into the fire and held 1t there.
A deafening clamor of JOY rose
from the people.
It was the sacrifcial feast Of the

s28,935 PAID
BY CITY PLANT
FOR COAL USED

Operating under . "gentleman's
agreement" because. It is explained. no
satisfactory contract could be entered
into, the Richmond Municipal Electric
plant expended $2s,935.16 for coal be-
tween October /. 1916. and March l.
this year. There were 1888 tons and
1892 pounds used Last night city
council passed an ordinance. under
suspension OF rules. appropriating an
additional $4,000 of the plants funds
for the purchase OF coal.
Councilman Handley inquired II It
were true that the city plant had not
entered into a contract for Its coal last
year and was informed that no con-
tract existed.
Buys Coal In Open Market.
There was an excellent reason for
not entering into a contract" City At
torney Bond informed council. THE
contract we were offered contained 30
many 'loopholes' permitting the evas-
ion of its provisions that 1t was worse
than worthless. Consequently the city
operated for a time under a gentle.
mans agreement with the Harsh com.
pany, which was the low bidder on
coal. Mr.. Harsh supplied the plant
with coal at the rate agreed upon as
long as 1t was possible for him to do
so. Much OF our coal we had to buy
In the open market"
Councilman Handley expressed the
opinion that binding contract might
have been entered into and expressed
the hope that the city plant would not
have to continue much longer buying
ito coal In the open market.
1--WE will contract for coal. provid.
ing a satisfactory contract Is obtain
able. just as soon as coal prices get
a little nearer normal" Supt. Klein
knecht said. THE last twenty cars Of
coal we bought cost 1925 ton, at the
mines. I. o. b. In December we had
to pay as high as S. at the mines for
the same grade Of coal that we used
to get at 81 ton. delivered. ex-
pect by next month we can get coal for
$3.50 at the mines"

Senate Favors Bone Dry Pro-
hibition

Washington, July 1.-THE
senate went on record today in
favor of "bone dry" national
prohibition during the war so
far as whiskey and other dis.
titled beverages are concerned.
Liquor legislation was written
into the food control bill in one
OF the senate's bitterest contests,
which would stake at consunp
ton of distilled 1ntoxicants bv
communicating stock in bond
IN addition to absolutely prohlb.
>iting their manufacture or i'm.
portation. The beer and wine
industries would be left und1s-
turbed.
, In lieu of the section of the
house bill to prohibit the manu-.
facture of foodstutfs into bev-
erages of any description, the
senate substituted. by a vote of
'45 to 81. a provision prohibit
ing manufacture and 1mporta-
ton OF distilled beverages dur.
ing the war. and added, IS 10 II,
a further clause directing the
president to take over all dis.
titled spirits in government
bonded warehouses and pay for
1t on the basis of cost plus 10
per cent.
While The final prohibition
legislation will be evolved in
conference between the two
houses it is generally regarded
as probable that the house will
accept the senate's change after
a fight in behalf of its original
section.

Russians Continue Their Often

Dispatch, Sunday.
!. General Brussiloft is pushing
his offensive on the Russian
front with energy and rapidly
extending its scope. He has be-
gun an attack in the region of
Pinsk, $50 miles north of Galicia,
within which the forward move
ment had previously been con.
lined, and is attacking with sue
CESS in the region northwest of
Stanislau, southeast of Lemberg.
eAt Pinsk, semi. official ad-
vices announce the German de-
fenses as yielding to the Russian
fire. The town itself is reported
in flames.
The Galician campaign is
meeting with a vigorous Austro-
German defense, and admittedly
the Russians have been held I'D
in renewed attempts to advance
in the Koniuchy region. The
sweeping claim of Berlin of a
signal victory against the Rus

with the Russian announcements
OF substantial gains in several
sectors.
The big guns are roaring
all along the line on the Franco
Belgian front. Infantry move
inents developed in Belgium,
where a sharp thrust by the Brit
lsh carried their line forward
slightly in the neighborhood Of

Germany's Waning Fortunes
Who can doubt that the for

wane? The renewal Of the

sian Army and the manifest
success attending it, coincidenr
with the arrival of American
troops TO take part in the fight.
ing on the west, are in them
selves circumstances which are
calculated to cause dependency
among the German people, but
in connection with this must be
taken the progressively crush.
ing defeats which have been
infected by the British aud
French in recent weeks. The
official reports now made pub
lie show that from the middle of
|April TO the last of June the
Allies on the west front have
taken over $4,000 prisoners,
among whom more than a
thousand officers are included,
together with an enormous
equipment of war material, in
cluding 1880 cannon, trench
motors and machine guns. An
Army must be invested with a
little more than human strength
and courage to be able to long
resist such onslaughts as these
captures would indicate the Ger
mans have been subjected to.
To this is to be added the vast
number OF German soldiers
killed in battle since the war
began. The figures were made
up in March. last. and in these
are not included the casualties
just enumerated. The German
loss in killed amounts to the high
total of 100000. "Attrition,
so much talked about in early
DAYS of the war. must now be
Emaking itself on the German
Army. Those who have been
standing by their calculations for
the war to, be a thing of the
past by or during 1918, are, in
the opinion of The Observer,
standing on firm ground. The
ring of steel which has surround
ed Germany since her dash
through Belgium was stopped
early in the war, has become
much more restricted and is be-
ing drawn closer day by day
with an acceleration movement.
1t is now a question of German
ability to DELAY the process.
Her Government is one of ad,
mittedly great resources, but it
is a poor military student who
may weigh the events of the
past few weeks with all the ac-
cumulating odds against Ger
many and not be able to figure
out the beginning of the end.
Its coming may be starved off
longer than there is now reason
to anticipate, while on the other
hand its development may be of
a more precipitate nature than
could at this time be considered
possible.-Charlotte Observer.
