wondered, returning to his own cave.
And then he noticed long assures In

from the lamps drifted toward them.
He could not guess what made 1t do
that, unless 1t were the suction Of the
enormous river hurrying underground.

"Ismail!" he shouted. and jumped

voice. Ismail came running.

Within an hour a delegation came

laid out on one on the beds and COW

asked Kurram Khan the hakim.
"Are-there devils in Tophet! Fire
and my veins are one!"
The man did not notice the eager
ness beaming out of Kings horn

seemed to him timc to prove his vir-
tues as assistant.

The man sat down. as il he would
argue the point at length, but lsmail
and Diary Khan were new to the bust
ness and enthusiastic. They had him
down, held tight on the floor to the
huge amusement Of the rest. before
the man could even protest: and his
howls OF rage did him no good. for
Ismail drove the hilt OF a knife be-
tween his open jaws to keep them
open. A very large proportion Of
Kings stores consisted Of morphia
and cocaine. He injected enough Co
caine to deaden the mans nerves, and
allowed 1t time to work. Then he
drew out three back teeth in quick
succession, to make sure he had the
right one.

Ismail let the victim up, and Darya
Khan gave him water in brss cup.
Utterly without pain for the first time
for days, the man was grateful as
wolf freed from a trap.
Allah reward thee, since the SER
vice was frce!" he smirked.
Are there any others in pain in
Khinjan?" King asked him.
Listen to him! What is Khinjan?
Is there one man without a wound or
a sore or a scar or a sickness?"
Then, tell them" said King. The
man laughed. When I show my jaw,
there will be a fight to be Arst! Make
ready, hakim! l go!"
He was true to his word and left
the cave like gust Of wind, followed
by the three who had come with him.
King sat down to eat. but he had not
finished his meal-he had made the
little heap of rice into a ball with
his fingers, native style. and was mop
ping up the last Of the curried gravy
with it-when the advance guard of
the lame and the halt and sick made
it's appearance. The caves entrance
became damned with them, but no
riot ever made more noise.
"Hakim! Ho, hakim! Where is
the hakim who draws teeth! Where
is the man who knows yunani?"
Z Ten men burst down the passage all
together, all clamoring. and one man
wasted no time at all but began to
tear away bloody bandages to show
his wound. The hardest thing now
was to get and keep some kind Of
order, and for ten minutes Ismail and
Darya Khon labored. using threats
where argument failed, and brute
force where they dared. 1t was like
beating mad hounds from al their
worry. What established order at
last was that King rolled up his
sleeves and began. so that eagerness
gave place to wonder.

Auto Owners and Thieves

More cars disappear in Chicago than in any
city Of the United States.
Why?
The following chapter torn from the police
records of that city will explain
Mr.. Respected Citizen buys car for $1,000
and has it insured for its full value for one year.
If the car is stolen at the end of eleven months,
he can cash in his insurance policy for the full
81 900. Sold at second hand store the car
would bring only about $500.
Now Mr.. Alleged Respected Citizen of Chicago
slips member of an automobile stealing gang a
small sum of money to get away with the car.
The automobile is either broken up and junked
or spirited out of the city. The Respected Citizen
collects his 81, 200 and next year buys new car.
Very clever, indeed. Owner and thief connive
in the game. The insurance company stands the
loss and the honest owner pays very high pre-
MUM rate because of the wholesale thefts of
The Chicago police have obtained sufficient
evidence to convict both thieves and auto owners.
Both deserve full measure of service in the
state penitentiary.

Helping the Handicapped

Many persons are handicapped because of
physical defects or age. Their lot is sad one,
often a tragedy. Given intelligent treatment and
assigned to work within their capacity and they
would become producers instead of remaining
idle consumers.
In Chicago and other large centers Of popu-
lation, committees recently have been appointed
to list persons who need guidance in obtaining
work. Many who had lost interest in life and
were contented to float wherever the tide of mis-
fortune carried them have been reclaimed and
are now enjoying the satisfaction that comes
from knowing that you are not useless but
positive agent in the economic world.
One of the saddest sights on our streets is to
see men who still might engage in some form of
profitable labor unable to find employment be-
cause younger and more active competitors have
replaced them in the shop and store. Hundreds
of these men are still able to do full days work,
and if their pay were graduated according to
their output would be able to support themselves.
Scores of old mechanics are willing to work in
our shops. If the employers paid them accord
