CHAPTER xIV--continued.

Rewa Gunga spoke truth in Delhi
when he assured King he should some
day wonder at Yasmini's dancing.
She became joy and bravery and
youth She danced a story for them
of the things they knew. She was the
dawn light, touching the distant peaks,
She was the wind that follows it,
sweeping among the jumpers and kiss
ing each as she came. She was laugh
ter, as the little children laugh when
the cattle are loosed from the byres at
last to feed in the valleys. She was
the scent of spring uprising. She was
blossom. She was fruit Very daugh-
ter of the sparkle Of warm sun ON
snow, she was the "Heart of the Hills"
herSeifl
Never was such dancing Never
such an audience! Never such mad
applausei She danced until the great
rough guards had to run round the
arena with dubbed butts and beat
back trespassers who would have
mobbed her. And every movement
every gracious wonder-curve and step
with which she told her tale was as
purely Greek as the handle on Kings
knife and the figures on the lamp-bowls
and as the bracelets ON her arm.
Greek!
And she half-modern Russian, ex-
girl-wife of semi-civiIized hill rajah
Who taught her? There is nothing
new, even in Khinjan, in the Hills !"
And when the crowd defeated the
arena guards at last and burst through
the swinging butts to seize her and
fling her high and worship her with
mad barbaric rite, she ran toward the
shield. The four men raised it Shout
der high again. She went to it like
a leaf in the wind-sprang on it as If
wings had lifted her, scarce touching
1t with naked toes-and leapt to the
bridge with laugh.
She went over the bridge on tiptoes
like nothing else under heaven but
Yasmini at her bewitchingest. And
without pausing on the far side she
danced up the hewn stone stairs, dived
into the dark hole and was gone!
"Come p yelled Ismail in Kings ear.
He could have heard nothing less, for
the cavern was like to burst apart
from the tumult.
"Whither" the Afridi shouted In
disgust. Does the wind ask whithert
Come like the wind and see! They
will remember next that they have a
bone to pick with thee! Come away!"
That seemed good enough advice He
followed as fast as Ismail could shout
der way out between the frantic hill
men, deafened, stupefied. numbed, al
most cowed by the ovation they were
giving the ''Heart Of their Hills"

through the mouth of the same tun-

Essential and NOn-essentiaI Building
Kansas City, Mo, October /, 1918

Kansas City, Mo, October /, 1918
Mr.. James R. Moorehead, Dr.,
Lexington, Mo.
Dear Son.
have Just returned from Washington, where I went as
Chairman of a committee representing the retail %lumbermen
OF the country, for the purpose Of getting a clear interpreta-
ton ot Circular No. q recently issued by the Priorities Com
missioner of the War Industries Board. relative to the restric-
lions on building, and in order that you may understand lust
what can and what cannot be done in the way of building,
repeat here for your information and that of your customers.
You can sell lumber, lime, cement, and all other materi-
ais without a permit;
FIRST: FOR REPAIRS OF OR EXTENSIONS TO EX-
ISTING BUILDINGS AMOUNTING IN H AGGREGATE
FOR BOTH MATERIALS AND LABOR, TO NOT MORT
THAN $25OO.OO, EITHER IN THE CITY, TOWN, OR ON
THE Arm
SECOND: FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR FARM
PURPOSES ONLY, AMOUNTING IN THE AGGREGATE
NOT TO EXCEED 100000. THIS is H CONCESSION
0BTAINED BY THE COMMITTEE This amount includes
both material and labor. If the farmer employs no labor, he
can purchase the full 100000 in material.
THIRD: N MATERIAL DIRECTLY CONNECTED
WITH MINES PRODUCING COAL, METALS, ETC.
All other construction, whether new or for repairs, re-
quires a permit, which mus. go to Washington for final APP
provaL. In emergency this may be done by wire.
Blank forms can be obtained from your local member of
the County Council of Defense. 1t is my desire and purpose
that you conform strictly to this order, and | can say to you
aSO lLdC L HOpc Idl IL IleIe are any carpenters OF OJn6r me-
chanics who can go into war work, especially into the ship
building industry, | hope you will urge them to go. The Gov
eminent needs ship builders Just as much as it needs soldiers
at The front.
Should any of your customers desire to engage in any
building other than the above, for which permits will be re-
CURED, help them to obtain the permi; and get it forward to
the State Council of Defense. None Of your customers should
consider it unpatriotc to build under the above restrictions,
If they feel the necessity therefor. The Government expects
the farmers, particularly, to take care of their grain and theic
live stock, hence granted us the concession of permitting new
building up to 100000 for farm purposes only,
The whole situation at Washington is that now of at
tempting to finish this war at least during 1919. They think
it best for all that a great effort should be made now and at
once, rather than to drag the conflict along in a haphazard
way over a series of years. We can certainly all agree to that.
am sending you herewith a letter addressed to all of
the retail lumbermen of the United States, which l hope you
will put in a conspicuous place and show it to anyone who may
desire to read it.
Respectfully yours,
j. R. M0OREHEAD.

RAILROAD RUMBLES
Railroad Officials to
Consolidate For Traffic

Twenty-Five officials of the rail-
roads of northeastern and central
Pennsylvania, including representa-
tives from the office of Superintend-
ent Allibone. at Sunbury. met at
Wilkes Barre for the purpose of dis
cussing plans for the consolidation
of all freight traffic carried by the
roads in that section of the state.
The Lehigh Valley railway. Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware and Hudson, Jersey
Central and Philadelphia were rep
resented.
Those in attendance proposed the
consolidation of freight traffic in
Wilkes Barre at one central point, or.
If this cannot be accomplished. a
consolidation of this traffic to move
over one line into Sunbury and to
have egress by another trunk line.
All Pennsylvania railroad engines
in Wilkes Barre are to use the Le-
high Valley roundhouse and thus
much motive power will be saved.
The eastern end of the Sunbury diVi-
sion of the Pennsylvania railroad
will be operated entirely on the Le-
high Valley tracks and under Le-
high Valley supervision.
Final action on these plans will be
taken shortly so as to prepare
against transportation difficulties
that might recur again this winter.

ASKS SUPPORT
FOR CANDIDATES
ON DRY ISSUE
Bible Class Told Party Lines
Do Not Figure in Fight
For Prohibition

support for the two candidates for
the Legislature on a dry platform, A.
Ramsey Black and DIR. G. Willis
Hartman. both Democrats, was the
subject of an earnest address before
the Mems Bible class OF Derry Street
United Brethren Church yesterday
by o. P. Beckley. who was very ac-
tive in handling the recent parade
under the auspices of the Dauphin
County Ratification Committee. Aft
er complimenting the men of this
class for their efforts MIR. Beckley
declared:
The time is past when men sin
cerely for prohibition can refuse to
vote for dry men because they may
happen to be of a different political
faith. Politics have ceased to cut a
figure in this fight. 1t is solely one
of principle, and | repeat that all
men and all forces of whatever party,
pledged to support none but dry men,
must refuse TO support such candi-
dates as have not come out squarely
for the National Prohibition amend
ment.
The time has come in Pennsyl-
vania when principle is more i'm
portant than party. While the Rati-
fication Committee was not success
full in having dry men nominated on
both the Democratic and Republican
tickets. thank God two men-as fine
as ever came before the voters of
Harrisburg for upport-piedged to
support prohibition, were named by
the Democratic party"
