dreds of the audience were follow
ing their lead.
"Out through here! Keep close
together. Turn right for the carl"
shouted Peter. But j, was impoS-
Sible to reach the car. It resembled
an island, in the dood of the crowd
from the Pwe. They stood aside,
wonderingly, and let the throng
from behind rush past them, rum
ming, jabbering. There was a fire
up the street. 1t threw the ornate
roof of a temple into silhouette,
and the bobbing heads of the men
and women running towards its
blaze. A small pagoda reflected its
light, red gold against the sky.
There was firing, and shouting.
High above everything else, they
heard a terrible scream. It rose
and rose, then was abruptly si-
fenced. Petronella saw Jean slump
forward and caught her.

Well carry her" She felt sick
herself.
1--WE must get the girls out of

Peter and Hugh carried Jean
between them. She came round,
staggered to the ground and ran
with them, down two streets.
Pedestrians were hurrying in the
opposite direction, or reinforcing
the shutters of their houses and
shops. There was taxi standing
abandoned beside the curb.
IN you get. ordered Peter.
After crashing the strange gears,
he drove them towards Betty's
home.
Nov to your place, Jean,"
promised Peter, and swung the old
vehicle into the Prone Road.
Across it, barring the way, walked
a line of young Indians, wearing
white ghandi hats.
They would MOI move aside.

for them. One man faltered. leav-

thudded through the warm, still
air.
After dinner, they piled into the
car again.
Flares lighted the booths in the
streets through which they drove
too fast for safety. Multi-colored
electric lights outlined the big tent
beneath which Pc Sein's Pwe was
being held.
They entered at the back of the
marquee, and looked across a field
of dark heads, at the brightly
Lighted stage. The air was thick
with the smoke of cheroots, and
the mingled scents of betel nut,
and the too sweet frangipani
flowers the women wore in their
hair.
There was no scenery. The play
ers stood aside, waiting their turn.
A Burmese girl was singing in a
nasal, twanging voice, and twisting
to the din of the cymbals, drums,
and bells of a Burmese band. She
was dressed in rich silk, decked
like a little Christmas tree, with
jewels, and curved, wing-like
shoulder pieces of gold.
At once, they were welcomed,
and invited to take chairs in front
of the spectators. Petronella could
not help feeling that they did little
to merit such honor. Soon, Jean,
Betty. and Hugh were laughing
and talking, irrespective of
whether the rest of the audience
laughed, or listened in silence. The
sing-song information, and incom-
prehenSible patter, between the
actors, was extremely monotonous.
But whatever general feelings the
Burmese had towards the British,
they displayed no personal hos
tility.
They're Shots

i whispered to her brother.

across her, and asked Colin the
same question.
"Plenty!"

crackers"
Those aren't crackers. l think
they're shots"
Colin sat upright, trying to lis
ten. through the crashing of the
band.
Good God. believe you're right!
Hello!" He spoke sharply. The
faces Of the audience turned, like
corn bending.
Two wildly dishevelled Bur
mans had burst through the back
flaps of the tent. They stood, shout
ing. One was waving the curved
blade Of his dab. The steel flashed
redly.
The next instant, the show was
forgotten. The actors stood silent.

then broke into yells of excitement
and disappeared backstage. The
Squatting audience struggled to its
feet, shouting in answer.
what is it? What did he say,
Colin?" Jean cried, her small fair
face alarmed.
THAT there is fighting in the
bazaar. That the Cooringhis are
killing Burmese women and chill
dren, and burning their houses,
and that the Burmans must have
revenge" translated Colin. Stand
quite stifl, and let them get out.
We haven't chance for that door.

Even in that instant. Petronella

used to be a bounty on sparrows
where he came from, he said. The
boys took a dead sparrow in, COL
lected the bounty, then threw the
corpse out of the window. They
then retrieved the bird and brought
it in again for another bounty. This
went on ad infinitum, he said. until
odora mortis overwhelmed them.

You know they built monkey house
in Little Rock for $65 900 and there
are only 10 monkeys in it. Why not
catch all the rats and put them in

perhaps they would destroy each

Here is a tale of mice and men,
or rather rats and Congressman.
More specifically, it deals with rat
tails.
A New Yorker, Carlos Arturo
Palacio of 1863 West Forty second
street. has called on Congressman to
play the Pied Piper-in short, to do
something about rats. Over his
name, public notice in a New York
paper said:
Valiant Congressmen-Rats do
s189 100000 yearly damage. A dime
Federal bounty on rat tails would
save this Think it over"
Taking Mr.. Palacio at his word, a
few Congressman thought it over.
Rats mused Representative Cole
of New York. What kind of rats
does he mean? Election rats or
rodents?"
If rodents are meant, Mr. Cole
thinks there is an unconstitutional
discrimination inherent in the pro-
posal
Il would 60 further" he explained.

Rutland Emphasizes
Need Of Immunity
From Diphtheria
Hopes 5, 900 Infants
Will Receive Preventive
Treatments in 1889

Health Officer George C. Ruh-
land warned parents today that
immunization of their children
against diphtheria "is just as i'm
portant as giving the child milk
and a balanced diet
Emphasizing that the Health De-
partment hopes to immunize at
least 5000 children under l year
of age during 1899, DR.. Rutland
said that if parents cannot afford
to employe private physician the
departments child welfare stations
may be used for this purpose.
14,877 in 1898.
A total of 14,877 children in the
District were immunized during
1888 by Health Department and
private physicians So far this year
only one case of diphtheria has
been reported, and this occurred in
nearby Virginia.
The increase in the number of
immunizations over 1887 gives en-
couragement that in few years
Washington may join the select
group of cities which have been
able to report no deaths from diph-
liberia in single year" DR.. Ruh-
land said.
Heartened by Progress.
He added that he was heartened
to see that more infants are re-
ceiving this preventive Streatment.
OF the total immunizations last year,
Is per cent was among children
under / year of age. 1t is estimated
also that approximately $4,000
Washington children under are
immune to the disease
Every baby should be given the
preventive treatment before the first
birthday, DR.. Rutland declared.
Even if the Health Department is
able to immunize 5000 babies this
year, it still would be protecting less
than half of the 1898 babies born
here in 1888, he added.
