Babson Asks Coalition
TO Get j. 5. Out Of
Present Mess
Neither Major Party Con
Solve Problem. He
Tells Prohibitionists
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 9.-Roger W.,
Babson. speaking as the probable
presidential candidate of the Pro-
hibition party. put the organization
IN the role Of a coalition third
party" today. e,ye.
The 64-year-old Massachusetts, sta
tistician declared at the prohibi-
tionists' 10th National Convention:
Neither Of the big political par
ties will get this country out Of
the present mess. A new move-
ment must start, not from above,
but from below. There must be q
coalition Of all those interested in
putting righteousness before ex-
pediency."
He added in a prepared address
that without criticizing either the
Republicans or the Democrats, it is
fair to say that both have en-
tangling alliances which make It
almost impossible for them to take
stand on moral issues. The new
Prohibition party, therefore, is in
a position to serve as such a coau-
ton third party"
Platform to BE Drafted.
Mr.. Babson, who previously had
announced, II shall probably accept
the presidential nomination Of the
new Prohibition party" spoke as
the convention committees and dele
gates drafted the party's 1910 plat
form preparatory to nominating q
national ticket tomorrow.
1--WE should stand firm on our his
toric ground of demanding that GER
tain evils should be prohibited" he
said, but added this viewpoint should
not be confined to the liquor evil
only.
1--WE should also include CONNER
cialized gambling, harmful mar
cotics, social diseases, cruelty to
children, indecent publications, dam
gerous movies, misleading. broad
casting, political graft and injustices
OF all kinds" he said.
Points to Other Goals.
Commenting that the public, "for
some unexplainable reason" looked
on the movement as a "one-track
party" he said: Therefore, we
should strongly emphasize our other
goalS-such as reducing taxation,
conserving natural resources, both
human and material; helping farm
ers who occupy and till the soil,
encouraging employers engaged In
honest and useful business, assuring
wage workers and consumers q fair
share Of industry's profits, prevent
ing unfit persons or. unfair groups
from entering our country, but ap-
plying to all nations the same immi-
grafton and tariff policies"
The party should, furthermore,
work to keep this country out of
war by insisting upon both friendly
relations and adequate Defense" he
said.

Lynn stared: do you think
could persuade Rundhia to try to
prove Captain Norwood's inno-
cence?"
"But Lynn dear, if Captain Nor
wood has been guilty of taking a
hribe-''
Lynn interrupted: 81 don't believe
Captain Norwood is guilty"
But what do you know about
him?"
"Maharanee dear, what do you
know about me? How do you know
I'm not criminal?"

"Maharanee dear, even if Captain
Norwood could be guilty of an UNI

ant in the Maharajah's livery.
YES" said the Maharanee, that
man can be trusted. Lynn dear, I
will give him both your letters. He
will find Captain Norwood, even if
he has to hunt all over Kadur."
She gave the man emphatic orders
in his own language. told him to 60
at once, watched him along the cor
rider and led Lynn through the brass
gate to the women's quarters.
Rundhia waited, standing. When
he heard the messengers football
returning along the corridor, he
opened the door, admitted him,
closed the door, held out his hand,
received both letters, glanced at
them and returned to the messen-
ger the one that was addressed to
Mrs. Harding. ....
Deliver that one. After that,
keep out of sight for an hour. Then
return and say that you have de-
livered the other letter to Captain
Norwood. Co." r
Rundhia opened the letter that
was addressed to Norwood. He
smiled. There was no heading:
Your unkindness about what you
saw this morning does not make me
wish to hurt you in return. There
is something I wish to tell you. It
is important. I hate myself for
something that I said unintentional-
ly, under great strain. I can ex-
plain it. Won't you see me?

CHAPTER XIV

Norwood sat in his tenn and
checked Stoddart's survey figures,
found a couple of mistakes, correct
ed them, admonished Stoddart and
gave the sergeant instructions for
the following day. Nervously he
walked the distance between the
horse line and his tent.
After the third of his pacings to
and fro, he sat at the table in his
tent and wrote a letter to Lynn
Harding, tore it up, and made sew
eral more attempts. He tore up
the last one, gathered all the scraps
of paper into one heap, carried
them to a cook-fire and burned the
lot.
He returned to his tent, scraped
out pipe, wrote another letter to
Lynn Harding and tore up that one.
1t was getting on toward dark. The
Kadur River was splurge Of GRIM

If we can blame his death on the
priests, that could be made to hold
water. The priests bribed him. BY
this time, they probably know that
the news Of the bride is out. It
would be natural for them to murder
Norwood, to stop his mouth"
well, why not let them! Why not
leave it to them?" the Bengal re-
torted.
Because they won't do it, you
fool! Did you ever know a priest to
do thing at the right time to suit
someone else? It will have to be
done for them. Now here's the idea:
they keep hospice where mendi-
cants may live as long as they
please, for no payment. There are
three men in that hospice, who
would kill their mothers and any,
one else for an ounce of opium. For
two ounces, they would murder ten
children apiece. You know my man
Gulbaz?"
TOO well. Some day that bad
mash will turn on you"
Rundhia smiled: Long before
that, dear doctor, he shall swallow
one of your prescriptions! Summon
Gulbaz. Give him money. I will

II can believe that" Lynn an
swered. "Why else should you be
so kind? I haven't influence or mon
ey."
"You have personality" the Ma
haranee answered. "You have in
agination and spirit. You can re-
deem Rundhia. So that when the
day comes that he shall be Maha-
rajah Of Kadur, he will be a great
man. Rundhia will do anything for
you-anything. Your influence will
persuade him to do good things, of
that / am sure. Even now, having
known you only one day, for your
sake he is willing to save Captain
Norwood. But he makes conditions"
Cant he tell them to mel"
He has gone in search of that
creature Gulbaz. Rundhia has TAX
en- it for granted that you will ac-
cept the conditions, since he has &C.
cepted, as command your wish
that he should help Captain Nor
wood"
Lynn almost lost her temper. She
retorted: 81 was treacherous. So
was Rundhia. / don't believe Cap
tain Norwood has been! won't
believe it until they prove it."
The Maharanee returned to her
subject: "Rundhia insists that yos
mustn't tell Captain Norwood whose
influence it was that saved him. He
demands-and ! think that is fair,
isn't it?-Rundhia can't afford to be
compromised-he demands that Il
Captain Norwood should character
istically force his way into your
presence, you will not answer Nor
woods questions.
"But I have asked Captain Nor.
wood to come and see me-"
The Maharanee's sympathy looks1
genuine. Lynn didn't doubt it:
Lynn dear, Rundhia thinks thai
Captain Norwood probably believes
you told about the diamonds be.
cause you knew that Captain Nor,
wood was embarrassed by your hav
ing seen them, and you wished to
punish him for remarks he had
made, in the garden, last night. Run
dhia thinks that perhaps Captain
Norwood won't answer your letter."
Lynn was silent for long time,
thinking. The Maharanee watched
her, reading, on Lynn's face, the
course of the struggle between
pride, humiliation, anger-and some
other, western emotion that not even
Lynn could have put into words. It
was too simple. Too elementary.
1t escaped analysis. At last Lynn
spoke:
Il promise. won't tell Captain
Norwood that Rundhia is helping
him. But will Rundhia do it,"
For you he will do anything"
the Maharanee answered.

CHAPTER XIII

The Bengah doctor entered Run
dhia's suite at the palace with the
air of crook who is afraid of a
master-crook. He assumed an air
of self-importance that he didn't
feel; of confidence that didn't exist,
He didn't wait for Rundhia to tell
him to be seated, and he began to
speak in Bengal.
Rundhia interrupted him: "You
may discontinue dosing Mrs. Hard

cepted an invitation to remain here
at the palace, so the sooner the
aunt clears out of Kadur the better.

Gould you get at Captain Nor

''No."
II think you'd better. Last night
at supper, Norwood watched your
clumsy by-play when you gave that
pellet to Mrs. Harding. The way
you switched the pellets wasn't clev-
er. Norwood suspects you"

swered. "He stands accused, does
he not, Of having accepted a bride?
You told me to say SO to Mrs. Hard
ing. And I did"

Rundhia interrupted. 81 thought the
news might influence her to keep
Norwood away. Now, look here:

cially if they're popular and well
connected, very often commit sui
eide. Norwood's suicide would be
appropriate, convenient and, in the
circumstances, not suspicious. How

must be careful.

across his stomach: Very careful"
