when you leaned over toward Manuel
Pacheco on the way to Jail in Zapa-
tillio, no wonder he kicked off so mys-
teriously. I'll match a cobra against
a greaser, any day."
1.-THE vengeance of Vishnu is swift
and sure" placidly returned the Hindu.
Likewise, sahib, silva was of some
small service to you during the earth
life of the late Jitendra."
"YOu mean down in the carcelY
The little brown man bowed low.
"Sahib, when silva crept under the
door where no man might pass, and
coiled upon the neck of the guard,
think you not there were reasons why
he wished, very much, to come inside
to have speech with Jitendra?"
"Ugh!' shuddered Buck, II should
think there were-plenty of them. So
that was how you nailed the sentry in
the corridor. And it was his rifle
which the late Jitendra gave me, sup
pose"
Swami Ram nodded.
"Vishnu and silva, sahib, as you will
testify, are not without power to sue
cor the deserving in their distress"
They're a couple of perfectly good
snakes" hastily acquiesced the Ameri-
can. "But why did Jitendra die in
stead Of following me out of the
prison? And what became OF that
other Mexican guard?"
"Jitendra had lost caste by being
thrust into that foul dungeon by I'M
clean hands, sahib. Also, he had
smoked cigarette, which is likewise
forbidden. He was to wed the Princess
Indira, but she must now seek another
husband. It was needful for him to
excarnate for publication"
"But they took you out to shoot you,
didn't they? I thought ] heard the vol
ley just as ! rode up"
"a little patience, sahib. The guard
in the hall vowed obedience to Vishnu
and silva in return for his life, thus
becoming a novitiate on the Seven
Paths. 1t was he who made ready for
Jitendra to pass out by hiding the pow
der kegs In the old drain beneath the
place where the killers of men were
accustomed to stand.
"Also he strewed powder to the hole
where Jitendra stood when he lighted
the forbidden cigarette. Jitendra did
not smoke cigarettes, but his act was
necessary to carry out the will Of the
gods. For, sahib, those deluded ones
were also fated to seek wisdom else
where. Not until they shall raise the
veil of Maya from their vision and,
perceiving Truth, resolve to kill no
more. may they hope to return to
earth-life."
Buck Williams grinned at the naive
recital. His three friends were too
astounded to speak.
'Where are you going nOw?" queried
the mine owner.
"a novitiate of the gods, who was
once Jail guard, waits for me with
horses in the hills. Sahib, may poor
Swami presume upon your generOs-
ityT
"Anything-up to half.o Ell Tigre."
81 have already appropriated linen
from your bed for a new turban, that
Swami Ram may re-enter the world
properly attired. But Vishnu and silva
are cold and hungry. Warmth they
may find from my own body, but food,
alas! I have none. Will the gracious
sahib grant me the boon of another
can of milk ere we journey on to meet
the Princess Indira, who awaits new
husband in New EnglandT

Continued from last week

The first faint simmer of the dawn
was glinting the tops of the hills in the
east. The time for the execution was
near, and the Englishman determined
to observe the removal of, at least, one
possible impeachment to his future
schemes.
Give million dollars is too big a
stake to take any more chances of
losing" he muttered as he reached the
Jail gate Il might have known that
a resOlute fighter like Williams would
be up to some trick-probably ne
promised that guard enough pesos to
make him rich. If I'd been at all clever
I would have seen this thing through
myself, even if had to walk that foul
smelling corridor all night to make
sure"
He slipped into the Jail yard, heed
less of the glorious beauty of the new
day, Just in time to see the frail figure
of the Hindu as he emerged from the
building
Jitendra was curiOusly calm-the
face of Buddha himself could not have
been more inScrutable, nor unmOved
by fear. He chanted something in a
low, clear tone as he passed Hardinge
without a look of recognition.
The agent for the United Kingdom
Exploration company Shivered.
There was a quality in the timbre of
that voice suggesting a mysterious,
malign presence-a sense Of something
hoy J~ing over and around the place of
death, invisible but, nevertheless, very
real. The words, too, were disQuieting.
If the red slayer think he Stays
Or if the slain think he is slain.
They little know the subtle ways
] keep, and pass, and turn again.
Jitendra paused waiting meekly for
directions. The corporal in command
of the squad pointed toward the wall.
"Your sentence has been set aside,
senior. There is the path to the street"
The prisoner had not been bound.
AS the gate of the Jail yard swung
invitingly open the leering soldiers
parted their ranks, resting their rifles
on the Notwithstanding an air of
careless Indifference, but, nevertheless,
covertly watching the man.
They're going to give him la ley
fuega," shivered Hardinge. Il guess
Morenos got cold feet on his court
martial sentence--don't want to take
chances officially. I wish / hadn't told
him yesterday that this fellow claimed
to be a British subject. If he should
prove a good sprinter and they should
miss"
He chilled and broke off.
Jitendra stepped lightly and without
emotion toward the gate, fiinging back
over his shoulder the innocent smile of
a pleased child. Hardinge heard the
low command and saw a soldier start
to raise his rife. He turned away.
A formal execution, with man de-
family facing the firing squad, was
not so unusual as to excite horror
when the condemned was a native.
But this was the epitome of betrayal
the deliberate, cOwardly aSsassina-
ton of a man who has been told that
he is free to depart, only to fall, bullet
shattered from behind, at the very
verge of his coveted freedom.
La ley fuega is truly Mexican.
"Will you give me cigarette, sar?'
Hardinge whirled.

Little Rock. Ark.-In the cas-
against Dink Williams, Negro, the jury
in First Division Circuit Court re
turned a verdict Of not guilty a.
charged in the Indictment, but held
that Williams was an accessory before
the fact of grand larceny. Williams
was held to await the further action of
the grand jury. Julius Davis, a typical
country eolored man, who lives near
Scott, was feeeed out of sos by col.
ored hoodoo doctor, who was intro
dueed to Davis by Williams. David had
just sold his only bale of cotton. Viii
liams told him that DR.. Black was a
good doctor and that he could give him
luck with money. At the direction of
DR.. Black, Davis put the money in a
sack the money was gone, and so also
a larger sum, but when he opened the
eaek the money was gone, and so also
was DIR. Black. DIR. Black has not

tame and glory. You will be greater
than queen You will die unhappy.
The entire prediction came true.
