Listen, while tell you all from the
beginning! The sirkar sent me to dis
cover what may be this Heart of the
Hills men talk about. I found these
little about the caves, and nothing at
all about the sleepers. But even at
that they only believed the third of
what / said. And I--back in Delhi !

I came back here to think. I knew
enough now to be sure that the sleeper
is a Roman and the Heart of the
Hills a Grecian maid. She is like me-
That is why know she drove him
to make an empire, choosing for a be-
ginning these Hills where Rome had
never penetrated. l have seen it all in
dreams. And because I was ali alone,
] saw that would need skill and much
patience. So I began to learn.
'Times / would go to Delhi and
dance there a little, and little in
other places-once indeed before a
viceroy, and once for the king of Eng
land. And all the while kept look

be like the sleeper even as I am like
her whom he loved There was none
like the sleeper until you came. And
when the world war broke-fOr it is

/ thought at last that / must manage
all alone. And then you came!
"But there were many I tried-many
especially after I abandoned the
thought that the man must resemble
the Sleeper. There was a prince Of
Germany who came to India on hunt
ing trip. You remembers"
King pricked his ears and allowed
himself to grin, for in common with
many hundred other men who had
been neutenants at the time, he would
once have given an ear and an eye
to know the truth of that affair. The
grin transferred his whole appearance,
until Yasmini beamed on him.
"Pm listening, princess !" he remind
e6 her.
''Well-he came-the prince of Ger

Asia, then the world-even as I now
offer them to you. The sirkar sent him
TO see me dance, and he stayed to
hear me talk. When saw at last that
he has the head and heart of hyena

"He complained to the sirkar against
me, so / told the sirkar some-nOt
much, indeed, but enough-of the
things he and his officers had told me.
And the sirkar said at once that there
was both cholera and bubonic plague,
and he must go home! His officers
laughed behind his back. Ever since
that time there have always been Ger
mans in communication with me, ard
I have not once been in the dark about
Germany's plans-although they have

ssEarth's DRINK" she said, and he
made grimace that set her. to laugh
ing.
But she looked at him darkly after
that and he got the impression that tho
thought was not new to her, and that
she did not thank him for the advice.
He began to wonder whether there
was anything she had not thought Of
any loophole she had left him for
escape-any issue she had not fore
seen.
She showed him where eleven hum
dred Mauser rifles stood in racks in
another cave, with boxes of ammuni-
ton piled beside them-each rifle and
cartridge worth its weight in silver
COMA very rajah's ransom!
'The Germans are generous in some
things-only in some things-very
mean in others!" she told him. "They

1t is good for them all to wonder what
I keep in here! 1t is good to keep this
sanctuary; it makes for power"
Pressing very close to him. she
guided him down another dark tunnel
until he and she stood together in the
jaws Of the round hole above the
river, looking down into the Cavern. of
Earth's Drink.
Nobody looked up at them. The
thousands were TOO busy working up
frenzy for the great jihad that was to
come.
Stacks of wood had been piled up,
six-man high in the middle, and then
fired. The heat came upward like
furnace blast, and the smoke was
great red cloud among the stalactites.
Round and round that holocaust the
thousands did their sword-dance, yell

birth. They needed no wine to craze

TRACTOR NOTES

Its hard to give any particular per-
son credit for the success of the DEM
onstration, but it is certain that it
would not have been a success with
out crowd and a crowd could not
have been secured without advertis-
ing. Will H. Holbein, secretary of
the Association of Commerce handled
the advertising and secured the as
sistance of the various tractor COM
panies and newspapers in getting the
matter before the public. Mr.. Hol-
bein demonstrated that he is past
master in the advertising game.
All tractor men on the ground are
favorable to annual tractor demon
stration at Minot.
Politics were tabooed at the tractor
meet. The tractor men and farmers
were there for business alone.
Ted Whitman, by his foresight brot
over $4O0 worth of business to the
Red Cross Wednesday afternoon by
establishing a refreshment stand on
the starting line.
The Association of Commerce had
an information bureau tent on the
grounds, until the high wind of to-
day blew it down.
The Advance-Rumely Co. was we'll
represented at the demonstration by
the following: c. J. Farney, Fargo,
the manager and the following sales
men: B. A. Tarplee, Fargo; o. W.
Swingseth, Devils Lake; 0. T. David

John A. Green, Glasgow; D. ]. Vol,
Harvey and A. N. Johnson, Minot.
This afternoon thirty tractors were
lined up and all worked on one land
in unison, blowing a strip of land $50

Fight Over Estate
Has a Novel Angle

New York-So trained are the re-
lations between the executors of the
estate of Julia l.. Butterfeld, of
Cold Spring, wealthy wife of the
late General Butterield. that each
faction has drawn up bank checks
to pay the city of New York $4,000
personal tax bill. but is unable to
get the other side to countersign
them. Consequently the tax bill
remains unpaid.
Thaddeus Terry, counsel for David
Harkness and DR.. Calvin May, ma
jority executors, submitted a check
drawn on the Equitable Trust Com
pany to Surrogate j. B. Southard and
asked Albert +. Hagar, minority ex-
ecutor. to sign it so the personal
tax on the estate could be paid.
Hagar fatty refused to atfix his
signature. He explained that pre-
viously he had sent a check drawn
on the National Bank of Cold Spring
to pay the tax bill to Messrs. Hark-
ness and May, but they ignored the
request to sign his check. Conse-
quently, he explained, he will not
sign their check.
