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. / found these
caves-and this / told the sirkar a
little about the caves, and nothing at
all about the sleepers. But even at
that they only believed the third of

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 I know she drove him
to make an empire, choosing for a be-
ginning these Hills where Rome had
never penetrated. l have seen 1t all in
dreams. And because was all alone,
saw that would need skill and much
patience. So began to learn.
"Tlmes / would go to Delhi and
dance there a little, and q little In
other places-once indeed before a
viceroy, and once for the king of Eng
land. And all the while / kept look
ing for the mantle man who should
be like the sleeper, even as l am like
her whom he loved! There was none
like the sleeper until you came. And

"But there were many tried-many

thought that the man must resemble
the Sleeper. There was a prince of
Germany who came to India on a hunt
Ing trip. You remember?'
King pricked his ears and allowed
himself to grin, for in common with
many hundred other men who had
been ieutenants 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.
I'm listening, princessr' he remind
ed 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 l saw at last that
he has the head and heart of hyena |
spat in his face and threw food at him.
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 homel His officers
laughed behind his back. Ever since
that time there have always been Ger

have not once been in the dark about

She tugged at him and led him back
along the tunnel and through other
tunnels to the throne room. where she
made him sit at her feet again. The
food had been cleared away in their
absence. Instead, on the ebony table
there were pens and ink and paper.

IF somebody fired pistol in here,
the least would be the collapse of this
floor into the tunnel below with a hun
dred thousand tons of rock on top of
it. There is no other way out?"
"Earth's Drink p she said, and he
made a grimace that set her to laugh
ing.
But she looked at him darkly after
that and he got the impression that the
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 hun
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 othersl /" she told him. ''They
sent no medical stores, and no blan-
kets !"
Past caves where provisions Of ev-
cry imaginable kind were stored, suffi-
cient for an army, she lee him to where
her guards slept toget14er with the
thirty special men whom King had
brought with him up the Khyber.

dare trust to come in here" she said,
"but they shall stay outside until
want them. A mystery is good thing
It is good for them all to wonder what
keep in herei 1t Is good to keep this
sanctuary; it makes for poweri"
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 a
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 a
great red cloud among the stalactites.
Round and round that holocaust the
thousands did their sword-dance, yell

Flowers of the States.

Twenty-six states of the Union have
adopted state f1owers-official or for
mally agreed upon emblems. Massa-
chusetts is not one of them, although
there is sort of growing idea, amount
Ing almost to common consent, that
the trailing arbutus Is our state flower,
says the Boston Transcript. If it is,
we have that emblem in common with
the province of Nova Scotia. Connecti-
cut has legally adopted flower, and
1t is in many respects the finest pos
sessed by any state in the Union. 1t
Is the mountain laurel. There are
flowers more beautiful than our laurel
of the woods, but it's bloom is so easily
conventionalized, so bright and SO dec
orative, that it is peculiarly fitted for
emblematic purposes.

Curious Timekeepers.

To ascertain the time at night, the
Apache Indians employed a gourd on
which the stars of the heavens were
marked. AS the consultations rose in
the sky, the Indian referred to his
gourd and found out the hour. BY
turning the gourd around he could tell
the order in which the constellation
might be expected to appear.
The hill people of Assam reckon
time and distance by the number of
guilds of betel-nuts chewed. 1t will be
remembered how, according to Wash
ington Irving, the Dutch colonial as
sembly was invariably dismissed at
the last puff of the third pipe of to-
bacco of Gov. Wouter Van Twiller.

CURIOUS LEGAClES ARE LEFT
Man Wills Wife a Farthing, to Be
Forwarded to Her in an Un-
stamped Envelope.

A gentleman lately left "the large
oaken walking-stick, with silver head
bearing verses alluding to it having
been sapling grown from an acorn
planted on my great-grandfather's
wedding day." to his nephew, and to
his sister 'the damask tablecloth with
figures and armorial bearings COM
memorating the marriage of Louis w.
of France"
A Liverpool lady, who died lately,
left to her nephew-nephews seem to
be specially favored-her doormats,
except parlor mats and the oilcloth in
the hall. Perhaps she feared he might
sell the oilcloth and go in for riotous
living on the proceeds.
The will of an eccentric lady con-
tanned the following clause: "As to my
sisters, nieces, nephew, brother-in-law,
cousin, nothing shall come from me
to them but bag of sand to rub them
selves with. None deserve even a good
by. I do not recognize a single one of
them" Dear old thing! Meanest of
all, however, was the man who left
his wife farthing, with directions
that it should be forwarded to her in
an unstamped envelope !-Tit-Bits.

Time to Work Hard.

When fortune begins to smile upon
you is the time you will have to
spunk up most. Then it is that most
folks begin to take it easy-and fail.
Getting into the public eye is chal-
lenge to make good. There are thou
sands of others in the same business.
You must surpass them or remain one
Of the crowd. If the place you occupy
gets crowded you must spunk up a
little more. Put on little more steam,
a little more brains and push are
needed. Maybe the other fellow is at
his limit now. Keep on pushing to the
front. The courage with which you
strive will receive it's reward. Work
with brain and hand and the victory
is bound to be yours.-Pennsylvania

WHY FEAR DEATHS CALL?
Philosopher Regards Passing Away as
Only Natural and Good-Fears
the Unnatural.

They were discussing death, little
group of men, all of them in the best
of health and the glory of living Men
of the world, in sense, and enjoying
life to its utmost, the subject of death
was introduced by the announcement
that widely-known man with whom
all of them had been acquainted had
passed away
One of the party, according to the
Columbus CO., Dispatch, said he hated
to think of death, that he was actually
afraid to think of it. He so loved life
that death seemed a terrible enemy,
and he would like to escape it. But
the philosopher of the party-only he
was not known as philosopher until
he delivered his little preachment-
said he could not understand such an
attitude toward death.
II am not afraid of anything that is
natural" he said. "It is the unnatural
that alarms me. 1t would be unnatural
to live forever, and would hate to be
sentenced to such a punishment. But
death is natural am not afraid of it.
Billions Of people have died; they are
dying every day. Little children have
died and old men and women, and the
birds and beasts all pass away, and the
fishes in the streams, and every living
thing upon the earth is to die. Why.
then, should great hulk of a chap
like myself, one who has had and is
having his time, why should I fear
death?"
Not afraid of that which is naturali
If only all of us could understand that
the natural is good and the unnatural
bad, what a splendid world it would
be for everything and everybody.
