I began bathing my eyes, ap-
plying the solution with spongeS
of soft cotton. The only result
was to intensity the pain, but
1 was sure could wash away
a good deal of the poison from
the surface of the skin. So I
kept at it, meanwhile sending
Ali to a shop in Katong village
where there was a telephone.
His orders were to call up
Joe Winter at the Raffles
Hotel in Singapore, tell him
what had happened, and ask
him to bring out a doctor.
Half an hour later Joe and
the doctor arrived in an auto
mobile. The doctor applied a
drug of some kind, followed by
cold bandages.
Pain Is EaSed

ually eased the pain. I sat
there. with heavy wet COM
presses over my eyes, while the
doctor changed them every
minute or two.
NV thoughts were busy an
alyzing my symptoms. I was
watching for some indication
that the poison had entered my
system. I wondered just how
it would first manifest itself.
Presently a cramped foot acted
numb. and I felt sure that this
was the sign I awaited. Then
the numbneSs passed, and l
breathed a sigh Of relief. l
felt an itching sensation along
my spine, and 1 wondered II
this could be the beginning OF
the end. Then my head began
to ache with a pounding throb
and again was sure that the
poison was at work.
At the end of three hours OF
mental and physical torture my
blinded eyes began to distin-
guish family the lights of the
room, as the doctor changed the
dressings. Another hour, and I
began to see hazily. But the
terrific pain continued.
The Night Watch
Joe remained by my side all
night long, fortifying himself
from time to time with long
drinks of Scotch.
The doctor. who had gone
home about midnight, returned
in the morning. My eyes were
as bloodshot as if had been
out on a 10 years drunk. But
I could see. The doctor exam.
ined me carefully and pro-
nounced me cured.
BIOLOGISTS with whom I dis
cussed the matter afterward
agreed that the most signifi-
cant detail of my story Of
Joe's dog was that which had
to do with the animals fran
tic scratching Of his eyes after
the cobra had spat at him.
The Airedale's death was un.
doubtedly the result Of his
scratching.
Perhaps Ali's hiding of my
hands during those few mo-
ments of intensest agony
down by the animal shed saved
my life. Had 1 scratched my
eyes after the cobra shot his
venom, death might have re-
suited.

"Please, Sarah, this is en-

said. He was no longer smiling.
"No. He knows that. But
oh, Sarah!" Lynn bowed her
dark head against the older

from bewilderment and fatigue.

Tom had an acquaintance

learned what she's learning to-

more. You've lost so much"

Dwight took a step towards
them. His eyes were no longer
expressionless. What right
have you to say that?" he
asked violently. II love Lynn.
I can make her happy. I will
make her happy. I have never
he said, deliberately, not for
getting to stab, "cared for any
woman as I do for her. She'll
forget all about this; I'll make
her forget. I tell you I love
her; I'd give her the world, if,
I could!"
Sarah said, 1T suppose so.
Yet you told me that once, I

There was a deep silence.
Lynn cried, "Sarah?" and
Dwight repeated it.
"Sarah?" he said, but on a
note Of warning.
Sarah said, mot that that

you have mattered to me,
David, for 20 years is beyond
my comprehension. But Lynn

thinks it all over; may explain
why I was so blind"

.PARLEY IN INDIA
LIFTS PEACE HOPE
Mrs. Naidu, Nationalist Con-
greSs Head, Confers With
ViCeroy and MaIaviya.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW DELHI, India, March 26.-It
appeared today that events were mov-
ing to clear the path to peace between
Indias nationalists and the British
government.
Both sides are eager to end the con-
flict which has crippled British and In
dian business life and has put nearly
10000 nationalist leaders in jail.
Conference With Viceroy.
Hope for restoration of normal condi-
tions was revived suddenly when 1t was
learned that Mrs. Sarojini Naidu, now
the president of the Nationalist Con-
gress, had had long conference yes
terday with Viceroy Lord Willingdon
after which she hurried to Benares for
talk with Pandit Madam Mohan
Malaviya, who, next to Gandhi, Is the
most influential nationalist leader.
These conversations, it was believed
were intended to pave the way for re-
sumption of policy of cooperation
and conciliation by the viceroy and Mr.
Gandhi. 1t was said that Pandit Mala-
viva would come from Benares imme-
diately to resume the discussion with
Lord Wilmington.
No responsible representative OF
either side would predict that these
meetings would result in anything con-
crete Immediately, but it was regarded
as significant that the Rev. Charles F,
Andrews, Gandhi's biographer, had can
celed trip to China so that he might
try to bring the mahatma and the VICE
roy together if possible.

THOUSANDS JOIN CELEBRATION
OF EASTER DAY IN JERUSALEM
PILGRIMS and Christian Residents of Holy
City Unite in Moving and Colorful
Observance of Event.

tom of Americans attending the English
service and English the American serv-
ice, prevailed. There was a choral cele-
bration in connection with the 8
o'clock service. Mathis commenced
with a full choir at 10 O'Clock and
there was some beautiful singing to the
music of the grand old organ installed
in the cathedral. Archbishop Swami Of
Egypt preached after mathis.
Easter services climaxed the Holy
week celebrations. The blessing of the
holy oil on the morning of Maundy
Thursday by the Roman Catholics was
particularly significant because the
altar of repose was actually the Holy
Sepulcher itself.
Roman Catholics carried out the pic
turesque ceremony of washing of the
feet on the afternoon of Thursday.
The Latin patriarch, attired in en- alb,
or long white robe, wiped and kissed the
feet of IL old men chosen from among
pilgrims to Jerusalem. To have been
historically accurate this ceremony
should have been held in the upper
room of the Coenaculum, where the
Last Supper was eaten.
Perhaps the most impressive of all
the Holy week celebrations was the pro-
cession by way of the cross on Good
Friday afternoon. Hundreds of people
knelt, wept and prayed at each station
of the cross along the narrow cobble-
stoned Via Dolorosa.

DEBATE ON ACCOUNTING
PLAN TAKES UP 81 PAGES
Discussion at Hearing Prompted
by Plea to Cut Out Item for
Installing Machines.

Fifty-seven pages Of the transcript of
the hearings on the 1888 District ap-
preparation bill before the House Sub
committee on Appropriations are taken
up with a discussion over the installa-
tion of a new accounting system in the
Office of the District auditor. Members
of the committee, District Auditor Dan
iel j. Donovan, his assistant, Arthur
Pilkerton, and representatives of the
General Accounting Office, which rec
commended the new system, took part in
the protracted debate.
The discussion was precipitated by a
request by Donovan for the withdrawal
of an item for $7,500 to complete the
installation of the system with the pur-
chase of bookkeeping and accounting
machines. The ultimate result was an
agreement on the part of Donovan to
permit the complete installation of the
new system for trial period to deter
mine whether it will work economically
and efficiently.

JERUSALEM, March 27 Sunday -
Christians of Jerusalem, their number
augmented by thousands of pilgrims
from abroad, commemorated Easter
Sunday with moving and colorful cere-
mony.
The city which nearly 1900 years
ago witnessed the agony and triumph
of the Christ's last days was peculiarly
alive from long before dawn in OBJ
servance of the event, which comedies
with the Jewish Passover and an i'm
portant Moslem feast.
Most services of commemoration
were over before the arrival of the heat
of midday and the Holy City resumed
somewhat its usual air of Sabbath
calm.
The earliest service today was pic
tureSque ceremony at the So-called
Garden Tomb, discovered by Gen.
Gordon at the foot of Calvary, where
tradition says the body of Christ was
laid after being taken from the cross.
This ceremony, held at am, was
attended principally by Anglican COM
municantS. A service from the Ameri-
can prayer book was conducted at
am. by Canon Bridgeman, the Ameri-
can chaplain attached to st. Georges
Cathedral, and at 8 am. there was an
other service in accordance with the

there has been no effort to disguise the

that restoration of harmony must pre-
