where there is life there is opportunity.
In that grim minute King felt here
teal; but q mans feelings are his
own affair provided he can prove it,
and he managed to seem about as
much at ease as native hakmi ought
to feel at such an imitation.
"Come forward" the mullah howl

far behind where he had sat. Ismail
followed in a hurry, like a man wad-

BRINGS SLUMP
IN HOG PRICES
Heavies Dropped at Glen Mil
Ter Yards-Cattle Also
Drop.

Continued hot weather caused a
slump in the hog market at Glen
Miller Stock yards last week, heavies
dropping so cents on the hundred, al
though light hogs remained steady at
$14 for the top price. There were 27O
hogs delivered at the yards during the
week.
Cattle receipts for the week were
81 head, with big decline in the mar
ket on account of the abundance Of
grass cattle and the lack of inquiries
for this grade. Cattle prices have de-
clined as much as 50 hundred In
some instances during the month.
Calves, broke 81 hundred during the
week, with so head delivered at the
local yards and poor demand. Top
veals were selling for $11 hundred.
Plenty Of Spring Lambs.
Spring lambs were plentiful and the
market was slightly lower, with top
grades bring $11 hundred at Glen
Miller market. The largest single de-
livery of the week was made by Harry
Gilbert, who received $3.50 for 81
hogs. Twenty-Five steers delivered by
James King, of Gettysburg. O.. sold
for S1150 hundred.

Then, perhaps because the crowd
had begun to whisper, and she want
ed all attention, she raised both arms
to toss back the golden hair that
came cascading nearly to her knees
And as il the crowd knew that symp-
tom well, it drew its breath in sharply
and grew very still.
"Muhammad Anim!" she said, and
she might have been wooing him
That was a DEVILS trick!"
It was rather an astounding state
ment, coming from lovely lips in such
a setting. It was rather suggestive OF
a drivers whiplash, flicked through
the air for a beginning. Muhammad
Amin continued glazing and did not
answer her, so In her own good time
when she had tossed her golden hair
back once or twice again, she deveE
oped her meaning.

no answer.
"And-mullah Muhammad Amin

that lashkar has foolishly been sent
and has failed, is it written in the Kal

She smiled, tossing her hair back
Her eyes challenged, her lips Knocked
him and her chin scorned. The crowd
breathed hard and watched. The null
lah muttered something in his beard
and sat down, and the crowd began
to roar applause at her. But she
checked it with regal gesture, anc
glance of contempt at the mullaf

Guards" she said quietly. And
the crowds sigh then was like the
| night wind in a forest Away with
those three Of Muhammad Anim's
men!" Twelve of the arena guards
threw down their shields with a sud-
den clatter and seized the prisoners,
four to each. The crowd shivered
with delicious anticipation. The doom
ed men neither struggled nor cried,
for fatalism is an anodyne as well as
an ; explosive. King set his teeth.
Yasmini, with both hands behind her
head. continued to smile down on
them all as sweetly as the stars shine
on a battlefield.
She nodded once; and then all was
over in minute. With ringing
"Ho!" and run, the guards lifted
their victims shoulder high and. bore
them forward. At the river bank
they paused for second to swing
them Then, with another "Ho!" they
threw them like dead rubbish into the
swift black water.
There was only one wild scream
that went echoing and re-echoing to
the roof There was scarcely a splash
and no ripple at all. No heads came
up again to gasp. No fingers clutched
at the surface. The fearful speed of
the river sucked them under, to grind
and churn and pound them through
long caverns underground and hurl
| them at last over the great cataract
toward the middle Of the world.
"Ah-h-h-h-h!" sighed the crowd In
ecstasy.
.'Is there no other Stranger" asked
| Yasmini. searching for King again
with her amazing eyes. The skin all
down his back turned there and then
| into goosefesh. And as her eyes met
his she laughed like bell at him.
| She knew! She knew who he was,
how he had entered, and how he felt

TIME FOR ACTION

The city fathers make a mistake In
continuing to postpone action on the
application of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad Company. acting for the
Standard Underground Cable Com
pany,N for an extension of siding
along High street, lsrth of Washing
ton street. These are extremely busy
days for all manufacturing concerns,
and the cable works are particularly
busy. The plant Is seriously handi-
capped for want of sufficient railroad
facilities. High street is an unusual
ly broad street, and north of WASH
ington street it is used exclusively for
manufacturing purposes. We cannot
see how the city s. interests can be in
any way Jeopardlzed by the construc-
ton of the railroad spur asked for.
There are already railroad spurs on
this street and mere extension
could hardly make conditions worse
At the same time, an important local
industry would be assisted in increas-
ing Its capacity and extending it's
business. all of which indirectly ben
efits Perth Amboy.
But the least the aldermen can do
Is to take some definite action in the
matter. Valuable time is being lost
by the cable works. Every day that
the present congestion exists time is
matter has been hanging fire so long
now, that the merits Of the case
ought to be fully known. 1t is time
to do something.

an7 It II to the shame Of both the
Democratic and Republican congress
men that they have chosen weak
kneed men to direct their affairs on
the foor OF congress.
Now that war is actually declared
1t is time to have real red-biooded
Americans, full OF enthusiasm and
energy. in these influential positions.
Not only are the leaders of both par
ties In the House pacifists and decid-
edly pro- Germans, but the chairman
of the foreign relations committee in
the senate Is of the same stripe.
These are serious handioaps, In
deed, for q nation thateis going into
La war with Germany with a deter
mination to win. It is a pity that no
one man has arisen IN either house
big enough to stand out as real
leader to carry the nation forward
in way that the occasion calls for.
This is a serious handicap for 60
ing into a war. Perhaps before many
days have passed these real leaders
will come forward, and congress will
see the wisdom of replacing those
now in influential positions with men
willing and capable of really doing
something.

UNIVERSAL SERVICE

With war actually declared, let the
army and navy be recruited up to
their full war strength, but there
should not be a. call for volunteers.
This is a struggle in which every
lliberty-loving person Is deeply inter-
ested. and therefore every person
should share alike in the responsible
ties involved.
No doubt millions of men would
volunteer should the President issue
a call. But those who would be the
first to answer would be the cream of
the country. This would be unjust.
There is no reason why all the
bright. active young men should go
to the front at the very outset while
the slackers. the Indifferent and the
weaklings remain at home, secure In
the knowledge that others. far su-
perior to them in ability and intel
lect, are doing the fighting for them.
The man who would promptly
answer the call for volunteers will
just as willingly enlist upon the call
for duty on the part of the govern
ment. At the same time, he will
have the satisfaction of seeing the
fellow who is willing to "let George
do It," march up to the line also and
do his bit along with the others.
We all enjoy equal advantages
under this government. and we
should all share equally the respon-
sibilities and the dangers involved In
the defense of the government, and
the principles upon which 1t was
founded. Let every young man, rich
and poor, the enthusiastic and the
Indifferent, be summoned to the
colors at the same time. and let all
stand on "a common ground, taking
equol chances. There is no reason
why some young men should do tbS
fighting for us because they gre will
ing. to Do 50. -w'uG1e - efuse tc

This is taking an unfair advantage o1
the enthusiastic and patriotic youths
Universal military service is the
! only solution. 1t is the only fair way
| to create an army in a great democ-
racy like ours. The sooner the uni
versal military training bill is passed
the better.

A DOG CATCHER

The Board of Aldermen have before

know that this is a disagreeable duty
to perform, but 1T is a duty, never
theIess. People who have dogs that
they value would appreciate having
the stray ours eliminated for the pro-
lection of their own dogs, IL for no
other reason. These stray CANNES
are a nuisance. not say disgusting
at the present time. Later they are
likely to become dangerous. The
aldermen should act without further
delay.

But In spite of all the interesting
things he said, 1 must admit that I
don't regard him as really able-at

might be IL he showed more curiosity

The fact has frequently been Inn
pressed upon me that nearly all rcal-
ly able men are eager devourers OF

They are too good traders to be al
