Instead of being obsolete and
simply an interesting relic, the
hourglass in various forms is a pres
ent day necessity. An authority
points out that for such purposes
as timing, hardening and tempering
heats in twist drill manufacture,
where seconds or minutes must be
gagged accurately, nothing serves
like the hourglass with the right
amount Of sand. Accuracy to the
fractions Of a second can be secured
much more easily than BY watching

BENDING THE BODY.


Nature won't let the normal hu'
man being bend backward fraction
of the distance that he can bend for
ward. And the reason for this is
threefold. The human body is so
designed that bending is easiest in
the direction in which it is most
lseful. Ne can see ON the ground
in front of us. We cannot see be-
hind us. Our arms are placed so as
to work in harmony with our eyes,
ahead of us, not behind us. We
want to pick up things we can see.
Therefore it is a wise provision that
enables us to keep our balance when
leaning forward more easily than
when leaning backward. The weight
of our bodies rests normally upon
our heels and our feet extend for
ward to take up our weight when we
stoOp.
Again, the muscles of our bodies
are massed where they will give us
most power. The biggest and strong
est groups of muscles are on our
backs and the backs Of our legs.
When we lift any weight it is this
great chain Of muscles that extend
from the heel in successive links to
the base of the skull that gives us
the power. These muscles, when re-
Taxed, are capable Of great extern
sion, in order that we may be able TO
bend far forward. In tension they
hold MS erect. The muscles ON the
front Of our body, with the excep-
ton Of that tremendously powerful
ligament in front Of the hip joint,
are comparatively thin and weak. II
we bend far backward they are not
strong enough to pull US up again.
The human spine consists Of a chain
Of yertebrae, each with a strong
spine on the back Of il. In the re-
gion Of the chest the spine is natur-
ally curved forward, and when bent
backward can do no more than be-
come straight. The only parts Of
the spine that are capable Of much
backward bending are at the neck
and waist. But at the waist the
spines on the back Of the vertebrae
are so large and thick that when
we bend backward they come to-
gether and prevent US from going
any further. Then that powerful
Iigament in front Of the hip joint
is for the express purpose Of pre-
renting us from falling backward,
and It is not capable Of much
stretching.
All these structural and meehan-
cal details explain why we cannot
bend nearly so far backward as for
yard. Our bodies are designed for
stopping forward and were never
meant for backward bending, which
would anyway be Of no use.-Phila-
lelphia Press.

CHARTER XIII.

They reached the Khyber famished
and were fed at Ali Masjid fort, after
King had given certain password and
had whispered to the officer command
ing. But he did not change into Eu-
ropean clothes yet, and none Of his fol-
lowing suspected him Of being an Eng
lishman.
"a Hangar on black mare has gone
down the pass ahead of you in a hur-
ry," they told him at Ali Masjid. "He
had two men with him and food
enough. Only stopped long enough to
make his business known"
"What did he say his business Isl"
asked King.
"He gave sign and said a word
that satisfied US on that point!"

tired of doing nothing"
"Signal down and ask him to have
that bath ready for me that spoke
about. Goodby."
So he left Ali Masjid at the head of
a motley procession that grew noisier
and more confident every hour. Ismail
began to grow more lively and to have
a good many orders to fling to the rest.
"You mourn like a dog" King told
him. 'Three bowls and whine and
a little sulking-and then forgetful-
nessr"
Ismafl looked nasty at that but did
not answer, although he seemed to
have hot word ready. And thence
forward he hung his head more, and at
least tried to seem bereaved. But his
manner was unconvincing none the
less, and King found it food for
thought.
The ex-soldiers and would-be soldiers
marched in four behind him, growing
hourly more like drilled men, and talk

them nearer India. more as men do
who have an interest in law and or

en- from Khinjan, carrying their ba-
bies and their husbands loads; and
behind them again were the other
women, who had been told they would
be oyertaken I'm the Khyber, but who
had actually had to run themselves
raw-footed in order to catch up.
Down the Khyber have come con-
querors, dozen conquering kings, and
as many beaten armies; but surely no
stranger host than this ever trudged
between the echoing walls. The very
eagles screamed at them. Signals pre-
coded them, and Courtenay himself
rode up the pass to greet them. At
Jamrud they were given food and their
rifles were taken away from them and
a guard was set to watch them. But
the guard only consisted Of two men,

place grew numb; King shook him off

Yet he insisted he was her man, and

horseman galloped out Of Khinjan gate
and started across the valley. He rode
recklessly. He was either panic
stricken or else holder than the devil.
In a minute King had recognized
the mare, and so had the eyes of fifty
men around him. No man with half

get up again and scramble as IL thon-
hand devils were behind her, the Ram
gar riding her grim1y, like a Jockey In
a race. Three more shocks followed.
A great slice Of Khinjan suddenly
caved in with roar, and smoke and
dust burst upward through the tum-
bling crust.
There was a pause after that, as If
the waiting elements were gathering
strength. For ten minutes they watched
and scarcely breathed. Rewa Gunga
gained the summit and, dismounting,
stood by King with the reins over his
arm. The mare was too blown to do
anything but stand and tremble. And
King was too enthralled to do anything
but stare.
'That is what a woman can do for
mani" said Rewa Gunga grimly.
"She set fuse and exploded all the
dynamite. There were tons Of it! The
galleries must have fallen in, one on
the other! A thousand men digging

While the Hangar spoke there came
three more earth tremors in swift sue
cession, and thunder out Of Khinjan
as If the very "Hills" were coming to
an end. The mare grew frantic and
the Hangar summoned six men to hold
her.
Suddenly, right over the top of kim
JAMS upper rim, where only the eagles
ever perched, there burst column Of
water, Unreasonable, huge, that for a
moment blotted out the sun. It rose

and into Khinjan valley, kissing and

the explosion and had found a new way
over the barrier before plunging down
again into the bowels Of the world.
The one sky-flung leap it made as its
weight burst down a mountain wall
was enough to blot out Khinjan for
ever, and what had been a dry, mile
wide moat was shallow lake with
deaths rack and rubbish floating on
the surface.
The earth rocked. King was up on
his feet in second and faced about.
The Hangar laughed.

he said. 'Think kindly Of her, sahib.
She thought well enough Of you!"
He laughed again and sprang on the
black mare, and before King could
speak or raise hand to stop him he
was off at wondrous speed along the
precipice in the direction of the Khy-
Der pass and India. Two Of the men
who had come out of Khinjan mounted
and spurred after him.
King collected his men and the wom-
en- and children. It was easy, for they
were numb from what they had wit
messed and dazed by fear. In half an
hour he had them mustered and
marching.

CHAPTER xxI-continued.

But out Of the corner Of his eye, and
once or twice by looking back DELHI
erately, King saw that Ismail was
taking the members Of his new band
one by one and whispering to them.
What he said was a mystery, but as
they talked each man looked at King.
And the more they talked the better
pleased they seemed. And as the day
woro on the more deferential they
grew. BY midday If King wanted to
dismount there were three at least to
hold his stirrup and ten to help him
mount again.
Four thousand men with women and
children and baggage do not move so
swiftly as one man or dozen, espe-
cially in the "Hills," where discipline
is reckoned beneath proud mans
honor. There were many miles to go
before Khinjan when night fell and
the mullah babe them camp. He bade
them camp because they would have
done 1t otherwise in any case.
When the evening meal was eaten,
and sentries had been set at every van
tage point, there came another order
from the mullah. The women and
children we're to be left in camp next
dawn, and to remain there until sent
for. There was murmuring at that
around the camp, and especially among
Kings contingent. But King laughed.
ut is good!" he said.
'Why? How SOP" they asked him.

morrow. Bid them travel down the

am content"
They murmured while, but they
gave the orders to their women, and
King watched the women nod.
Even as Yasmini had tested him and
tried him before tempting him at last,
she must be watching him now, for
sven the East repeats itself. She had
tent Ismail for that purpose. 1t was
likely that her course would depend on
ais. If he failed, she was done with
him. If he succeeded in establishing
strong position Of his own, she would
yield. With or without Ismail's aid,
with or without his enmity, he must
control his eighty men and give the
slip to the mullah, and he went at once
about the best way to do both.
eve will go now" he said quietly.
ssThat sentry in yonder shadow has
his back turned. He has overeaten.
We will rush him and put good running
between us and the mullah."
Surprised into obedience, and too de-
lighted at the prospect of action to
wonder why they should obey hakim
so, they slung on their bandoliers and
made ready. Ismail brought up Kings
horse and he mounted. And then at
Kings word all eighty made sudden
swoop on the drowsy sentry and took
him unawares. They tossed him over
the cliff, too startled to scream an
alarm; and though sentries on either
hand heard them and shouted, they
were gone like wind-blown ghosts Of
dead men before the mullah even knew
what was happening.
They did not halt until not one of
them could run another yard, King
trusting to his horse to find a footing
along the cliff-tops, and to the men to
find the way.
