They began after a time to hear

pace yet faster, and they became the
last two of a procession of turbaned
men, who tramped along a winding
tunnel into a great mountains womb.
The sound of slippers clicking and
rutching on the rock floor swelled and

led from cavern into cavern.

Again there was no answer. He
called each of the other men by name
with the same result. He decided to
go to the cave mouth, summon his men,
who were no doubt sleeping. But there
was no Ismail near the entrance-no
Darya Khan-nor any of the other
men. The horse was gone. So was the
mule. So was the harness, and every
thing he had, except the drugs and in
struments and the presents the sick
had given him; he had noticed all
those lying about in confusion when he
woke.

least civility from every man who saw
it. He held up his left wrist and knew
that instant why it felt uncomfortable
The bracelet had disappeared!
He turned back into the cave to hunt
for it, and the strange scent greeted
him again. In spite of the surround

there was no mistaking it. If it had
been her special scent in Delhi, as
Saunders swore it was, and her special
scent on the note Darya Khan had car
ried down the Khyber, then it was hers
now, and she had been in the cave.
He hunted high and low and found
no bracelet. His pistol was gone, too
and his cartridges, but not the dagger,
wrapped in handkerchief, under his
shirt. The money, that his patients
had brought him, lay on the floor un-
touched. 1t was an unusual robber who

Sharp and Derby
Clasp Hands Over
Fourth in Paris

PARIS, July 4.-There was an historic
scene at the luncheon of the American
Chamber of Commerce to-day when
the Earl of Derby, the British Ambas-
sador, and William G. Sharp, the Amer
lean Ambassador, clasped hands in
celebration Of Americas Independence
Day. 1t was the first time since the
United States became a nation that
the British Ambassador had attended a
commemoration Of the event.
Gwen if we had not been allies
said Lord Derby III commenting on his
appearance at the luncheon, "I should
have come"
Captain Andre Tardieu, French High
Commissioner to the United States
said the guests were celebrating not
only a Franco-American fete, but g
1ete of all the peoples allied in the de.
fence of liberty. Captain Tardieu ther
outlined for the benefit Of Frenchmer
the results of Americas effort to date

reason to be confds::. &C the outcome
OF the war, he said

than the Germans could sink Out of
the million Americans brought to
France during the year fewer than 300
were victims Of torpedoes.
After Judge Berry had read letter
from General Pershing regretting that
his military duties did not permit him
to be present, General Tasker Fl. Bliss
delivered message from the American
Army. He said:
Eve have been called a nation of
idealists. Our troops are now shedding
their blood in Belleau Wood and Cha
teau Thierry in defence of those
ideals"
Ambassador Sharp thanked France
for the great manifestation in honor
OF Independence Day, and continued:
Lord Derby, representing England,
has broken an unwritten rule which
has lasted from time irnmemorial with
respect to an English ambassador at
tending the celebration of our inde-
pendence. I congratulate him. I con-
gratulate the great country which he
represents. It is in keeping with the
British spirit of fairness. We know
now why England is so great. l well
come Lord Derby here in the name
OF America"
The audience arose. cheering Lord
Derby and shouting for speech. Lord
Derby demurred at first, but the cheers
would rot down. Finally ne said:
81 had always thought that America
meant fair play, but it is hardly fair
to call on me on such short notice to
reply to such an eloquent tribute as
has been paid me by Ambassador
Sharp. As in the days of my youth, a
teacher spanked me. saying, You will
thank me later for this I say now
that I wish to thank America for the
best licking we ever got. 1t has done
US both lot of good. We are CRATE
full to you because that licking taught
US how to treat our children. 1t is the
reason why We now have Australia and
Canada, and even South Africa, fight

Applaud Daniels's
Defiance OF U-Boat

MOIe CildIl I,UuU persons WHO
crowded into the Stadium of the Col
lege Of the City of New York, Amster-
cam Avenue and 18th Street, last
night, to attend the pageant arranged
by the Mayors Committee of Women
on National Defence, cheered them
selves hoarse as Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, in the course Of his speech,
hurled defiance at the German sub
marine. Then. as a fitting climax to
New York's greatest celebration of the
national holiday, they sat impressively
silent, while a message received a few
minutes before from General Pershing
was read.
The pageant itself began at little
after 7 o'clock. At that hour there
was not vacant seat or, so far as the
eye could detect, vacant spot in the
huge stadium.
For thirty minutes the band from
the U. S. S. Rercuit played the national
anthem and popular airs. Drills by
Naval Reserves and a squad Of United
States Marines followed.
Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, chair
man of the Mayors Committee of
Women on National Defence, presided.
Besides Secretary Daniels the only
other speaker wihs Mayor Hylan Mrs
Hearst was introduced by Lewis Nixon.
Before reading the cablegram from
| General Pcrshing, Mrs. Hearst said:
I'VE have marched to-day to show our
loyalty to our country and to our coun-
try's cause. We have met tonight to
send a message Of cheer and love to
our soldiers and our allies. While we
are thinking of the brave men across
the sea who are fighting for freedom
they are thinking of US.
"While we are sending our message
of loyalty and devotion to them, they
are sending their message Of inspiring
patriotism to us. I have here a cable
gram from our soldier-hero, General
Pershing."
The cablegram read as follows:
"Thanks for the kindly message to
this command from the Mayors Com
mittee Of Women on National Defence
With our nation at war for the ideals
for which our forefathers fought, this
anniversary should bring vividly to our
minds its full meaning and fill our
hearts with gratitude to the patriotic
men and women whose sacrifice made it
possible"
Secretary Daniels, who had prepared
his speech, departed from the written
manuscript for a moment to repeat
some of the record OF the navy to date.
Referring to the fact that there are
now more than 100000 Americans in
Franco, the Secretary declared chat

COMMUNICATION IN DANGER

NEW YORK.-Reports received in this city today indicate that the combined Franco-American attack is the first Allied thrust on the Champagne iron since Marshal Foch assumed the initiative last July, and is the logical result of the Allied success on the Picardy front, where they have driven the Germans back to the Hindenburg line from Arras to Laon. The Champagne drive threatens the German communica- tions to the rear of the Hindenburg line where the Germans are strug- gling hard to keep the French and the British from breaking through.
 Attack Extensive.
 It is believed that this new at tack on the Champagne front ex- tends along a good part of the dis tance from Rheims to Verdun.

George w. Nelson and Charles D.
 Davis, contractor and manager re- spectively of the Alaska Anthracite railway, arrived at Cordova recently and reported the work of complet- ing the road from the river terminal to the coal mines at Carbon noun tain as progressing satisfactorily The surfacing is being done on the last three miles of the road, and the track will soon be laid. On account of the scarcity of material in the States it was impossible to secure an earlier start on the railroad, but notwithstanding this fact the road will be in operation this fall. About one hundred men are now employed.
 A promising coal mine is also be- ing developed by MT. Davis, who re- ports that thirteen-foot vein of anthracite coal has been struck in tunnel No. l, which has been driven for a distance of nearly 1000 feet
 There is also a four-foot vein in tunnel No.2. Fifteen sacks of run of mine coal were taken to Cordova for shipment to the States as speci- mems of the quality of fuel in the Bering river country. It is expected that 5000 or 4,00O tons of coal will be shipped from the mine this fall before the river terminal freezes.
