FIGUREHEAD IS SEEN AGAIN
Makes Its Appearance on OId-Fash-
Toned Craft Resurrected as Result
Of Cry for Tonnage.

In answer to the war cry for ton
mage, n strange procession of sailing
vessels is plying up and down the
American coast these days. n company
Of old-fashioned craft whose noses
have long been in the mud and whose
commercial value seemed to have van
iShed. But now with brave front these
old relics are filling the needs of YES
sels-and the brave front of the eight
eenth century ship, with its heroic
%figurehead. is again seen in New York
harbOr after many years.
The %figurehead died hard among
other nations. AS an expression of the
poetry and superstition of seamen it
has lived since the VEgyptians and
Phoenicians decorated their prOws
with the carved figure Of an ibis, a To-
tus, Il phoenix, or sometimes a gigantic
Nd all-seeing eye, and then confident
ly set sail under its protection. For
these thousands of years the figure
head has been the seaman's god. He
has trusted the %figurehead no less than
his compass or his captain, and there
is not a sailor today of the old school
who would not welcome it's return to
modern vessels.

Throw at Unseen Targets.

On the common not 200 yards from
the hutments there are many queer
earthwOrks where recruits in the re-
serve battalion of the London regi-
ment are taught almost under war con-
ditions. says the London Times. They
are given bombing practice In all its
different stages, and the raw recruit
finds that the hurting of a Mills Is not
rs easy as it looks at first sight. First
of all, the men throw the %grenades In
the open at a well-defined mark, until
after some weeks training they are
able to throw from the directions of an
observer with a p%erlscOpe. who watches
for the heads of the enemy to pop up.
These heads are on a hinge, and may
appear in any one of a half dozen diff
ferent traverses or emplacements. The
observer has to be continually on the
alert, and the bomber must also keep
all his wits about him, so that he can
make his blind throw as efficacious as
possible.

CHAPTER li-Continued.

Within ten minutes Hyde was asleep,
snoring probationary. Then King pu''eh

Presently he drew out the generals

on III" top. II" stood up, t" hold h"tl'
knife and papers CLOSE to the light IN
the roof.
Il needed no great stretch of imagi-
natiun to suggest II likeness between
the WUIlan Of the photograph ana IN"
other. of the golden knife-llilt. And
sohodv. looking M him then, would
have dared suggest he lacked imaginn-
ton.
II the knife had not been so ancient
they might have been portraits of tn"
same woman. in tI" same DISGUISE
taken at the same time.
"She knew | had been chosen to
work with her. The general sent her
word that | am coming" he mlltterrd
10 himself. "Ticrc must have been II

He lay back with his head on the
Wllow. and before five minutes more
had gone he vas asleep. His mobile
tace in rcpoSr looked Roman. for the
sun had tanned his skin and his nose
was aquilinc. In museums, where

He slept like IL boy until dawn; and
he and Hyde had scarcely exchanged
another dozen words when the train
screamed next day into Delhi station.
Then he salutrd stiilly and vas gone.

/ 'lioW long have you known herT
asked King.
The Hangar eyed him sharply.
"a long time. She and l played to-
| gcther 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
HIS" -
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 conchman took a last
corner at a gallop and drew the horses
up on their launches at a door In a
high white wall. Rewa Gunga sprang
out of the carriage before the horses
We're quite ut a s%tandStill.
"Here we are !" he said, and King
noticed that the street curved here so
that no other door and no window
overlooked this one.
He followed the Hangar, and he was
no OOn into the shadow of the d0or
than the cOachman dashed the horses
and the carriage swung out of view.
"This way" said the Hangar Over
his shoulder. "COme!"

round, iazily. yer so lazily, wreathed
in buOyant gOssamer that was scarcely
more solid than the sandalwOOd smoke

King watched them and listened to
their chant until he began to recognize
the strain on the eye muscles that pre-
cedes the mesmeric spell. Then he
wrote and read what he had written
and wrote again. -
what have you written?" asked a
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 n
second he lowered on the brink of
quick defeat. Having escaped the
Scylla Of the dancing women, Charyb.

"1f you know, take this pen and mark
the. m of whichever of those men
are still In Delhi" .,,
Rewa Gunga took pen and paper and
set a mark against some thirty of the
names, for King had a manner that
disarmed refusal.
King began to watch the dance
again, for it did not feel safe to look
too long into the Rangar's eyes. 1t was
not wise just then to look too long at
anything or to think too long on any
one subject.

It's own sake! !"
The Afridi came and lowered above
them, standing with gnarled hands
knOtted into clubs.
"What Is thy name?" King asked
him.
"Ismail ~ he doomed.
"Thou art to be my servant?"
"Aye! So said she. l am her man.
I obey!"
"When did she say SOP" King asked
him blandly. The hillman stroked his
great beard and stood considering the
question. King entered a shrewd sus-

he said.
"Why did you wait before you an

The Afridi's eyes furtively sought

Watching the Hangar less furtively,
but even less obviously, King was
aware that his eyes were nearly closed.

spread of the thorny plants and the i'm
possibility of killing them of so that
the land that they occupy can be uti-

"Walk with me" said King, and the
man fell into stride beside him.
lie was II Rangar-which is to say n
l:Hjput Who, or whose ancestors had
turned Mohammcdan. Like many Raj
puts he was not II big man, but he
looked fit and wiry his head scarcely
came above the level of Kings chin,
although his turhan distracted atten-
tion from the fact. The turban was of
silk and unusually large.
The whitcSt of well-kept teeth
cleaning regularly under Il little black

They were walking toward the sta

his hand, but returned it to his pocket.

Hangar overhear instructions regard

with personal charm to be trusted thus

well that the average young Itajput of
