John, entering the room of Ram
Citinder, glanced about. Undor each
OF the four cOrbels that supported the
roof beams a mOtionless, statuelike
Hindu stood. Even to the sharp eyes
of the incomer the figures seemed to
be integral parts Of the wall, so per-
fectly did their brown bodies and cos
tunes match the place. AS the door
closed behind him, Davis stepped be-
fore the fakir and addressed him
sternly.
"Ram Chunder." The Hindu bowed.
"What were you doing at the Mac
kenzie hotel last night. Ram strewed
handful of incense in a bowl be-
fore an idol.
The Sahib mistakes. was not at
any hotel. Last night 1 communed
with the gods. Behold!"
With an expression Of disbelief and
disgust, John drew forth the batteries
and piece of paper.
"What about these? They are
yours"
"Yes, protector of the poor, but
stolen from me by a low dog of an
imposter-a pariah. Will not the
Sahib sit and listen to his servant ex-
plainf"
Thrown off his guard by the friend
Illness of the others manner and
smile, Davis complied.
The room was now heavy with in
cense. Waiting only till the white
man had seated himself in the big
chair, Ram Chunder pressed a spring.
Instantly four steel bars shot out
from the upper back and lower front
of the chair, the first two crossing
the trapped mans breast and the
other pair firmly gripping his legs.
Johns pistol had seemed to leap into
his hand at the first pressure of the
bars, and as it exploded q small image
of one OF the gods fell to the floor
with a crash. Rams escape had been
a narrow one, but John had been an
instant tca late.
No sooner had the bars clamped
down upon their victim, holding him
securely than the four living statues
stepped forward from their places
against the wall and approached the
fakir. Laying the revolver upon the
table, they stood submissively before
their master as they awaited his or
ders. Ram pointed to the shattered
idol.
'sThis foreign dog has blasphemed
the gods and has tried to kill their
faithful Yogi. He must die"
At a sign from the fakir one of the
Hindus advanced and pressed the
back of the chair down and the front
up. so that John, still held fast by
the bars, lay as one upon surgeons
table ready for an operation. Cross
ing his hands they bound his wrists
together, a moment later doing the
same with his legs. Then removing
the restraining levers the four men
raised the body of the helpless one,
two taking his shoulders and two his
knees. Clapping his hands, Ram mo-
toned to two more Hindus who had
silently entered at the signal.
Gag him and wrap him firmly In
the ropes" was his command. Reand
and about the prisoner they drew the
bends until he was powerless to move.
At a signal from the fakir The six
men raised the helpless form straight
into the air. AS they did so, six
other brown arms suddenly appeared
from some mysterious place in The
ceiling, and Selling the prisoner in
stantly drew him out of sight, while
the ones who had bound him again
bowed their heads in submissive 81

form, received her permission to de-
part and she was left alone. Shortly
after the waiter entered with his tray,
Joost Singh, following a few PAGES
behind. The waiter spoke.
'This foreign party says he has
note for this apartment, Ma'am," and
at her nod the Hindu laid his mes
sage before her with a salaam.
'For the Sahib Davis" he said re-
specially, and turning left the room.
Hastily the girl tore the note open. 1t
read:
eff you seek to solve the mystery
Of the night, knock twice and then
once at the rear door of number q
Horton street. Your conductor will
appear and bring you before the gods
Wondering what it could mean
whether John was again in danger
and who the writer could be, she
quickly ate a few, mOuthfuls and left
the apartment, hurrying lest she be
too late.
Stadium, dressed in American
clothes and on watch outside the
shop of Ram Chunder, saw Davis
drive up in taxi and FASTENED in
side, locking the door behind him.
Briefly he told his master of the COM
ing of the other man, and the fakir.
giving Stadium rapid directions,
stepped to the inner room where the
Hawk and Spider were.
''Siva has summoned him. He is
here" was his announcement.
Throwing their cards out of sight
the pair arose. Ram Chunder, lead
ing them to side of the room, opened
a sliding door by pressing on spring,
disclosing a grating. Obeying his
wave of command they entered, draw
ing the curtains together but leaving
a crack through which they could
both see and hear. Passing to the
other side of the. room Ram Chunder
opened another concealed door, and
at the clap of his hands four Hindus
in native costume appeared. Address
ing them in low tone he began fill
ing the incense bowls so that their
smoke slowly commenced to arise.
While this was being done, two of
the newcomers placed large chair
of teakwood at the upper end of the
table.
'We will now admit the Sahib,"
announced the fakir.
Having knocked at the outer door
a number of times and received no
response, John on the point of turn
ing away discouraged, was confronted
by Shallum. who with low obeisance
motioned for him to enter.
Rainface, returning to the hotel,
caught q distant view of Ethel as she
hurried on her way. Instantly he fol-
lowed her. Seeing her board troll
ley car, the Indian took the one next
behind it, standing on the front plat
form where he could look ahead.
Arriving at Number 81 Horton
street, the girl promptly knocked at
the door. Joost Singh appeared, and
though he was surprised to see a
WbiHdu iHStCdu VI the Liuu liC cApCIt-
ed standing before him, he salaamed
and indicated that she was to go
with him..
where is Mr.. Davis?" she demand
ed as she hesitated. The Hindu
spread his hands in a gesture to in
dictate his ignorance, and finally de-
Gliding that her only chance of finding
her lover was TO trust herself to the
others guidance, she started down the
side street on foot. Rainface, who
had not lost sight of her, at once fol-
lowed upon their trail.

Will Be First Completed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-With labor
and materials now available, the gov
ernment is preparing to rush work on
the Alaskan Railroad and Secretary

mates it will require three years.

asked includes S4,000,000 of the orig
inal estimate of S35,000,000 for the con-
struction of the road, and a deficiency
appropriation of $9800,000, represent
ing the increase in the cost of mate
rials. 1t is estimated the road can be
finished for $44,8O0,O0O. While work
never was stopped, it was slowed down
materially by the war. Several thou
sand applications have been received
for work on the road.
The bulk of the heavy work, such as
grading, virtually is complete now.

presenting the request for the def
cheney, said

completed from Seward to Fairbanks

ucts of the country north of the Great
