GERMAN WOMEN
 WE'D CONNECTS ID
 REP0PULA1E LAND
Kaiser Resorts to Criminal Devices to Fight Decreas-
 ing Birth Rate.

London, July 22.-Most amazing IS some Of the information that has leaked out of Germany, by way of Holland and other neutral countries, concerning the net traffic in Mnholy matrimony and the plans put into operation by the German authorities ds means of repopulating their man. devastated empire. Some Of these stories are almost unbelievable, were it not for the fact that the information comes from sources that are unq,1es- tionably authentic.
 Not long ago, according to a story
 just received here, there were no fewer than 5000 ex-convicts at large in Berlin. The majority were unmar- ried, and also unfit fo military ser vice. Through the Berlin chief of police, Traugott von Jagow, the kali ser is said to have been the one who suggested that these former jailbirus should be turned into laW-abidjng citizens.
 Through von Jagow the hint was conveyed to the proprietors of the scores of matrimonial agencies which now flourish in Berlin. The books of the agencies contained the names of Hundreds of German women who were waiting for husbands. The ex- convicts were approached by the mat rimonial agents, and in less than a month more than 1000 marriages had been celebrated between convicts and German women in every degree of society.
 Many of the former jailbirds were men of education-they had operated criminally in the higher social cir cles. Other were the ordinary bull necked, brute type of German crim- inal whoe success in crime had been brought about by brute force rather than brains. But they all went into the net of the matrimonial agent.
 Some truly amazing alliances were the result. Today Potsdam butcher, who ill fit of frenzy murdered his wife and two children. but who was reprieved and pardoned after serving a seVen-year sentence, is the hus- band of a countess, who is literally rolling in wealth.
 Another case has had an oxtraordiil- ary sequel. One of the best known men in the circle of sycophants around the kaiser is Dr. Bernhard Dernburg, a Jewish-born Hessian banker, who sprang into international prominence when the kaiser made him colonial secretary in 1906, and whose name has since become famil- far te all Americans.
 Dernburg was a very rich man. He adopted very plain-almost ugly-girl as his daughter What she lacked in looks, however, she made up in lucre. for Dernburg bestowed upon her dowry of 100000 marks. In due course, she married Jahana, a scapegrace son of General von Braes- Ter Before Johann could dissipate his ugly wife's wealth he was killed in battle. His widow was one of the many hundreds con the stocks'' when the kaiser's iniquitous scheme for making the scum of the under world into husbands come into opera tion.
 Now it so happened that an aris- tocratic matrimonial agency which had Minna (as Dernburgs adopted daughter was named), for client had arranged her marriage to a convict of a superior class whose lapse from re- spectability had not been of a very serious character. But the thing was done too rapidly. and there were so

CHAPTER XIX.

The march went on in single file I'M
til the sun died down in splendid fury.
Then there began to be wind that
they had to lean against, but the wom-
en- were allowed no rest.
At last at place where the trail be-
gan to widen, the mullah beckoned
King to ride beside him. It was not
that he wished to be communicative,
but there were things King knew that
he did not know, and he had his own
way Of asking questions.
ID hakim!" he growled, "Pill-
man! Poulticer! That is q sweeper's
trade of thine! Thou shalt apply it at
my camp! have some wounded and
some SICK"
King did not answer, but buttoned
his coat closer against the keen wind.
The mullah mistook the shudder for
one of another kind.
did she choose thee only for thy
face?" he asked. "Did she not con-
slider thy courage? Does she love thee
well enough to ransom thee"
Again King did not answer, but he
watched the mullahs face keenly in
the dark and missed nothing of it's ex-
preston. He decided the man was in
doubt-even racked by indecision.
Should she not ransom thee, hakim,
thou shalt have chance to show my
men how man out of India can die |!
BY and by will lend thee messenger
to send to her. Better make the mes
sage clear and urgent! Thou shalt
state my terms to her and plead thine
own cause in the same letter. My
camp lies yonder."
He motioned with one sweep of his
arm toward valley that lay in shadow
far below them. AS they approached
it the rock Glove in two and became
two great pillars, with a man on each.
And between the pillars they looked
down into a valley lit by fires that
burned before thousand hide tents,
with shadows by the hundred fitting
back and forth between them. A dull
roar, like the voice of an army, rose
out of the gorge.
"More than four thousand 'menw
said the mull3h proudly.
"What are four thousand for a raid
into India?" s cred King, greatly
daring.

The temptation was to fling the
brute after his victim. The tempta-
ton always is to do the wrong thing
to cap wrath with wrath, injustice with
vengeance. That way wars begin and
are never ended. King beckoned him
into the cave, and bent over the chest
of medical supplies. Then, finding the
light better for his purpose at the en-
trance, he called the man back and
made him sit down on the box.

long he had slept. 1t did not matter.
He had probed Khinjan caves. and
knew the whole purpose for which the
lawless thousands had been gathering
and were gathering still. Remained, to
thwart that purpose. He began at
the beginning, where he stood.
Behind him in a corner at the back
of the cave was narrow assure, hung
with o leather curtain, that was doubt
less the door into Khinjan's heart; but
the only way to the outer air was along
a ledge above dizzying precipice, so
high that the huge waterfall looked
like a little stream below. He was in
very eagles aerie; the upper rim Of
Khinjan's gorge seemed not more than
quarter Of a mile above him.
Round the corner, ten feet from the
entrance, stood a guard, armed to the
teeth, with rifle, sword, two pistols
and long curved Khyber knife stuck
handy in lis girdle. AS he looked, a
little procession of women. led by a
man, came up the ledge. The man was
armed, but the women were burdened
with his own beiongings-the medicine
chest-his saddle and bridle-his I'M
rified mule-pack. They came past the
dumb man on guard and laid them all
at Kings feet just inside the cave.
He smiled, with that genial, face
transforming smile of his that has so
often melted road for him through
sullen crowds. But the man in charge
of the women did not grin. He was
suffering. He growled at the women.
and they went away like obedient AMI
mails, to sit halfway down the ledge
and await further orders. He himself
made as If to follow them. and the
dumb man on guard did not pay much
