King lodged being held up last Sat-
urday night, just after dark when he
was going to his farm in the center
of the county. He had just made the
turn at the five mile corner when he
saw two men step into the road.
One of them had his right hand
swathed In a white bandage as
though 1t had been hurt. This hand
he shook towards Ben In a gesture to
have him halt. Mr.. King says he
turned his auto towards the man and
stepped on the gas. The car jumped
forward and the FELLOW stepped out
of the way.
Not word was said on either side.
Mr.. King says the corner is a good
spot for holdups as cars have to slow

GATHER FOR GREAT FESTIVAL
"Devii Dance" ls Important Occasion
In Notwithstanding Out the
Spirits OF Evil.

The devil dance is one of the great
est festivals of the Lama church in
Mongolia. 1t takes place each spring,
and represents the chasing out of the
spirits Of evil. The dance Is simply
series Of posturlngs Of men and boys
In rich costumes. wearing fearsome
animal masks, accompanied by an i'm
pressive chant.
The midsummer festival Is also an
interesting affair. 1t Is a survival of
the primitive nature cult, and attracts
crowds Of pilgrims. Caravans begin
to arrive days in advance. The Liv-
Ing Buddha appears In his fringed
orange felt helmet, the abbots in their
fat lacquer hats, the lesser lamas in
SILK or brocade skull caps, and the
lay officials in old Manchu hats, topped
with cOlOred buttons to denote their
rank. The whole company rides out
to the monastery gate before dawn to
the obo or sacred mount. These are
elevations crowned with piles of stones
and decorated with prayer banners.
They represent the ancient tOtems to
the nature spirits.
The ceremony must be completed by
sunrise, when all return to the monas-
terry for a big feast. The ceremony
at the obo Is riot Of color. A weird
service Is held in which huge bronze
trumpets. six feet long, flutes made
from sea shells and libation cups from
human skulls, are used.
