Eschbach, chairman of the commission, at a hearing of coal wholesalers. Representatives of Indiana jobbers at the hearing urged the commission to permit jobbers to charge as their commission 10 per cent of the price they pay for coal at the mouth of the mine. The commission heard both operators and retailers. “This commission has evidence,” said Mr. Eschbach, “to show that retailers in some Indiana communities have such a close organiza-. tion with Indiana operators that no customer in certain territories can buy a pound of coal direct from mines or colleries. unless the coal goes through • the hands of a retailer who collects the regular profit.” Anderson.—Madison county farmers report that more corn will be shocked or ensilaged than ever before because of the low price for corn delivered at elevators. Farmers estimate they would lose heavily at the present prices since they are below the price paid for seed. Corn for canning factories is yielding approximately S4B an acre, and farmers who grew corn for packing plants believe it will prove more profitable than corn for the later market. Tomatoes for canning concerns have been averaging more than $l2O an acre and for the reason that the canning plants pay better than other markets it is predicted by farmers that the acreage of common corn will be reduced next year in favor of sweet corn and tomatoes. Goshen. —Charles E. Morrice of Peru, formerly of Goshen, who surrendered to the sheriff of Elkhart county, who served warrant issued on thirty-six indictments returned against Morrice by the Elkhart county grand jury, completed giving bond for $24,200 and returned to Peru to resume the management of a cabinet company. Indictments returned against Morrice are grand larceny, twenty; larceny and embezzlement, six; forgery and uttering forged instruments, six; petit larceny, two; larceny, two. Washington, D. C. —The missing 222 of Indiana's population has been found by the United States census bureau. The population of Vigo county, instead of 100.038. as announced, should 1 be 100.212, and the population of Franklin county, instead of the 14.758. : should be 14,806. The discrepancies were discovered when addition of the totals of county population, as announced, gave the state a population of 222 fewer persons than was announced by the bureau as the total for the whole state. Seymour.—With favorable weather thousands of acres in Jackson county will be seeded to wheat. Most farmers withheld sowing until after October 5 because of the possible danger of the Hessian fly. As the wheat crop in the county was not as good as usual last spring, some trouble has been experienced in getting first-class seed and farmers who held wheat which tested high and was free from cockle and other weeds seeds, disposed of it at $2.50 a bushel. Indianapolis—Two Indianapolis men were killed instantly and a third was injured so seriously that he died fifteen minutes later, when the automobile in which they were riding turned over on the binff read, twelve miles southwest of here, tear Glens Valley. They were on their way to the Indiana-lowa football game at Bloomington. The dead: Harry E Snyder. 29 years old; John A. Zeller, 31 years old; Frank J. Coffey, 32 years old. Indianapolis.—J. L. McCulloch of Marion was re-elected governor of the Indiana district Kiwanis Clubs at the second day's session of ttie third annual convention here. John N. Bromert of Indianapolis was chosen one of the three lieutenant governors of the district. The other lieutenant governors are James F. Boyer of Elkhart and B. S. Alnutt of Evansville.

CHAPTER XV—Continued. —lß—- — cry of the watcher at the top sent a galvanic shudder over them all. The riders! Con went up with the sailor, and f'om the mouth of the pit they saw three score horsemen strung across the plain. They were like a sword cutting into the desert surface, already far on their way to retrieve their ill-starred prince. Away to the I south, as if driven by invisible gods, . Yekutoi's horse was running. Levington grew conscious of many bodies pressing about his own. The little men were creeping up to peer out at their fata. The riders had but one meaning to them. Helen had lied candidly and well. In the wind, a screen of fine sand rose behind the flight of horsemen. The miners were heartened by their first favorable turn in their history. The Arab seized the opportunity to inflame them further. They began to moan with anger, sensing vaguely the | opportunity that had come. The city was open and without protection. Like the rush of a subterranean riv- ' er their voices came up. a choking ! rumble. Insectlike they surged up | out of the shaft. In the blinding dayi light the Arab fell back, and Leving- ' ton had no choice but to captain them, i He got a joy from it al), a flash of ! power. They were coming behind him, I score upon score, the honeycombed । earth giving up her strangest. Their faces were hairless and • pinched, grimy. Each man had a ' weapon. They were a terrifying rabble. Strong arms carried earth elans ' that had yesterday combed the imI memorial clay for the seeds’ of koresh. There were also daggers and p int d horns and a^number of dull swords. From the houses beneath the city i wall, (tlie women and old men ran to I the gates and swung them shut'; but ! they could not hold back the ugly swarm of workers. There was strength in the arms' that had toilud ?;o long underground ; new. fierce power in the twisted spines. It was a j mad holiday of revolt. The big gates were pressed in. ’w ives and maidens of the monzoul ran across the lawn, Kalka, Turkish, and Arabian; delicate feet were nimble beyond the fountains, and the feminine cries were forbidden music to the invaders. But there was first a matter of work to be done. The miners hurried on. resistless as lava. Black slaves, and graj and brown, whined and crouched upon the rugs. It was early, ami the palace was but half awake. In the throne room, filled now with golden light, a woman fled, screaming. Beyond were the monzoul's apartments. This soft and ancient lord reclined among his feathers and silks and fans, like a precious grub. His doorway darkened, his slaves went down, but he gave small heed to the mob that profaned his chamber, lie was dreaming, perhaps of dainty white ankles and the tinkle of wind-bells. * The wrinkles of his countenance sagged with fat and drug. Now the brazen teeth of an earth-hook gave him a final caress. Here, on the walls, hanging amid the most prized trophies—scimitars of Persia, antique firearms of Cathay, and Jeweled knives of Hindu hill princes—were the weapons recently taken from Andrew March, also the carbine Levington had once bought for better luck. He repossesesd hims If. Down a corridor that thundered with the lust of benighted men, Levington went to Helen's door, and bade the nearest of his followers remain The Miners Hurried On, Resistless as Lava. outside. They clamored and coment■<l themselves with exploring passages and winding stairs, and Lails nnd secret rooms from which their lords ! had sent only cruelly and constant op■ression. Lovington enlore<l ahd ■lose-! the door bi hind him. ami narj rowly imsscd the slash of a sword in lie hands of Hie familiar Chinese servI mt. Con look Ihe weapon from Fu ’ Lh, and commended him for his zeal. “Where my father?” asked the I rincess. “He is viih another division of the len. We will go to him directly. You I<l your story very well.” “Your story,” she corrected him. “1

was without breath. I spoke rapidly to the guards, pointing. They saw the loose horse, far ouit. It was sufficient. They were enraged.” She had crosse 1 the room with a grace that found every nerve—the gentleness of the o’iental in her step, but more than that, the dear-limbed assurance ?>f an American girl. Lovington bowed ,u.n burned. He managed to inquire: “Are you ready to go on a long jouirney?” “Does my father wish me to go?” “Yes,” he lied. “I go.” There was not ing of koresh about her now, unless In the faint shadows below her eyes. .Xrither America alone nor Asia nnaidedVould have produced her sweetness, (vis frank perfection. She heard the rush of madmen through her palace—all the dread, sanguinary confusion above and around—yet did not tremble. It did not occur to her to be afraid. Her thoughts held to other issues. The wise writings of two continents had tempered her mind. Cnlike those who knew the fruits of one land or one age only, Helen Iwas vividly aware of life in a larger pattern, and though her keenness was i young and softly cloaked, it shone in her eyes, and was mysteriously coni veyed to him. She smiled a little. “I do not see ; what is to come.” “Will you give the order to prepare many camels immediately for a long march. “Has not my father done so?” “I agreed to arrange for it. He Is occupied at present,” Con eluded again. He went to the door and signaled to the nearest rioter, who stopped his I play of tormenting a wounded Nubian, ami came shambling across the threshold of the princess. Con stated the needs to the girl, who spoke to the Chinese, Fu Ah, in his own language; and the latter, with a supreme disgust stenciled across his face, repeated the order to the man from the mines. The dwarf, abased himself, having expected a death-blow instead ■ of oral instructions, and crawled out ' at the door. "There are mountains to the north," said the princess to ^evington. “And forests,” be added. "Do you think there is a better direction for us? We must not tarry.” “No. We go to„the north." Fu Ah then received further personal wishes from his mistress. To Levington she explained? “I am sqtid^^^ up the stair- ! wav, for things jßnall require. Kind ly go with him and see that be is not struck dead by your butchers.” Levington bowed again, silently, and his cheeks burned. Her bitterness was iron. Had he not upset the world? Escorting old Fu Ah down the cor ridor. Con went up with hinr to see what gross mischief was being worked in the higher flodrs. The top of the stairs was clogged by two bodies, miners who had failed to quell two stalwart sons of warriors, who also lay quiet now a little way ’’own the hall. The tide of dwarfs had passed on. While Fu Ah delved in treasure of silk and leather and silver, Levington found an outer window. Far along the road beyond the city gates, he noted two slaves mounted on camels. The beasts were pacing at their utmost, southward, their mission to bear word of alarm to the distant company of riders. Con examined the carbine in his hands. Resting the barrel upon the latch of the open window, he aimed very carefully, and pressed the long trigger. He repeated this process four times, and was then ready to go downstairs with the old servant. “When we leave.” he said to Helen, overcoming a reluctance to speak, "these little half-men from the mines will close the gates after us. Your warriors, in returning, will be unable to force an entrance until we have gained a greater distance to the north.” “Do not say ‘my warriors.’ ” She ; hesitated, then added: “Do not heed my words, if they are quick. I would | not. turn back.” She was smiling gravely. Her harm came out to him “A princess may speak as she chooses,” said I.ovin/ton. “Not to her equfi.s." The city was conquered, overrun. The new caravan was being prepared for immediate departure, ('on. feeling that he was not needed elsewhere, had a strong reason for remaining where he was, against the possibility that some bold pillaging party might come and find her alone. He endeavored to assist in the hur- ' ried gathering together of lovely gar- ‘ ments, but he was useless. Also, the ' delicate spice that arose from certain ’ of the dresses was like a thin knife in him. The door opened. The silent figure of Chee Ming stood before them, his robe torn, and marks of violence about his head, steady, gray-faced, tense with anger. 1 Helen paused beside the bamboo , I chest. She felt a .sudden renewal of the ties of many years. Con sensed ; the situation, and waited. The vizir mlvanced upon the rug. : “I go,” sain Helen in English. Chee ■ Ming replied shortly in foreign ; I speech. “1 go, at once,” she repeated. • and her persistence with the English i secerned to clear the air. It was her • declaration of choice. Chee Ming was: t speaking to her, a great calmness spread over his intense rat i'. His eyes ■ grew magnetic with bate. His dream cosmos was crumbling. The jirincess • eppoared not to hear him. She said t pleastiAtly: “I am taking Carlyle to read on the way, and the Aquarian I Gospel.” j

Tlu-'c two volumes were placed on top of the fineries of all Asia. Chee Ming had turned to the white man. Levington said. “I am setting free your prisoners.” Helen added: “Mother once tried to do the same." "My riilers return." said the vizir steadily. "Not yet,’ said Levington. lie saw a thin brass tube in th» \ellow hands. In a flash be was upon the old man. I fore the blower could be raised t< the narrow lips. It was no task to s ibdue the vizir with physical force, for the Chinese had lost courage. his leathery sinews slackened. The darts fell to the floor. Helen lifted the tube and placed it hi lite bosom <if her dress.' She was not .smiling. Upon the window-ledge rested the yellow bowl. Con picked up the vizir and carried him across to it. He forced back Chee Ming's arms and drew up his chin rather inconveniently. No sound came from the Chinese, to whom such a defeat must have been thrice bitter and unbearable. The koresh in ; the bowl was cool to Con’s lingers, the scent that arose was spice and brandy. He applied the bluish oil thoroughly to the eyelids and temples of the vizir. “He has been my father," said a soft voice. “I will not hurt him. This seems wonderfully new to him; he has had the world try it first.” Word came that the camels were ready at the gate. The bamboo chest wl w fw-jM I i Con Left His Strange Enemy Lying Upon the Rug. was carried out. Con left his strange enemy lying upon the rug, deep in ' ghostly slumber. The miners were finding their own ' voices, roaring in new freedom, like masquerading children, before the monzoul was cold in his blood. From the higher windows and balconies of the palace came shrill screams. Twenty camels were laden. •’Where is my father?”' Con asked the Arab, who sought out the men vho had carried the hammock. Only one of these could be found. He pointed back along the road. Helen saw the gesture and insisted on going with Levington. The entire caravan was started out at the gate, for the riders could not be sighted. Certain of the dwarfs were aware of their debt to the white man who was departing, and these raised a shout as the caravan passed under, the fortification. Instantly the gates were closed and a barricade begun on the inside. “What have ♦ou not told me?” insisted the girl. “It will be all right.” lie answered. “Tell me.” “He has remained behind.” “Tell me!” she cried. They found him near the rock that marked Eiihna’s grave. He was motionless in the morning sun, stretched face downward upon the sand that had once been a garden. Con leapt down and ran to him. There was rm response. An insect walked across March's cl eek. The deep-gray eyelids were firmly closed. He was quite dead Helen stood there, then knelt. She closed her eyes, but did not weep. Her hand went to his shoulder, but the touch frightened her. Levington was bowed with the loss of his comrade, the man who had shown him how to live. “You need not go.” said Con. “They are both there,” she said slowly. “Shall I fake you hack to the gates?” For a long minute she remained motionless, kneeling, and the others of the party showed increasing agitation. with much staring off southward. Helen raised her hand. “I am ill,” she whispered. “Take me away, far.” i Hi* lifti'd her to her feet. A runner ' had been sent back to the city with word. r l’he hammock would come ' again, and March’s body be given final I attentions. j “It is useless to remain,” she said i “Take me away.” , The other woman of the party, an ; ancient sister to Fu Ah. came to her ! princess and southed in the wonderful ’ intoned speech of Asia. Sho placed a large motherly arm about the shocked and saddened Helen, and, with Con. I helped her up into the saddle. Haste ' was imperative. It was Helen's own । choice. Levington gave the word. The guide took orders from old In Ah. who ■ rode high up, his wrinkled and scarred i visage further complicated by the pres. ! ent twists of fortune. He had no ’ heart-beat independent of his while ■ princess. For the sake of speed, the sister, who was somewhat h> avy. was i separately mounted. Helen rode i alone, as did Levington. The wind ! v as in their faces. r j Levington looked back once, shud-

dering. acroee the rich low plah\ to the strange towering city, now but a tawny Babel in the hands of its ene mi< s. those sad h«»’4es from the caverns it> destiny awry all splendor and quiet cruelty ended. The very | walls seemed pale now. The white man was s-ient with a ' urandetir of pain, a beauty that was anguish. White-hot sun p< It. <1 through 1 his garments. Flyim? sand stung his cheeks familiarly. lidleu’s head was bowed in silent agony. It seemed that the fierce, vengeful hands of the miners pulled at his heart. Back on the vanishing rim of the world, the ancient, mysterious city ; showed for an instant like a faded rose, and then the glaring heat blot ted it out. CHAPTER XVI. Helen’s Ordeal. Helen, in her great heaviness of heart, stared down at nothing. Fu [ Ah gave up the task of comforting : her. at the request of his sister, who I ; rode close beside the princess. Fansa’s attention was in fact sorely divided between the marvels of an unknown world and the sorrows of her mistress. The Mongolian driver shoved Levington into the lead, and the white man was alternately alarmed and joyous. He looked ba^ often, and his neives crawled each time he fancied a puff of dust in the south. His best friend was gone, where he had wished to go. Con saw what had been in Andrew March’s mind when lie told of the seed-poison that | leaves no dream behind, only a stilled body. Con was not holding that against i i his friend. The quiet investigator, who had weathered so much, whose I worldly grasp had seemed so strong l and sufficient, had been broken when 1 his illusion failed, a woman waiting for him, but in another world. Just ! now. Levington's deepest hurt was to ' recall what he had seen in the devo- ; tional chamber underneath the pal- ■ ace. his princess in the same fragrant I thrall. Iler father had come and gone , by strange laws. • Helen seemed to live in a dull tangle of pain. She rode with eyes closed. Training prescribed thoughts of her father, the affectionate stranger who had mastered the patli to her lof- I ty city, only to meet ruin in the yellow ; man's form of sleep. The shock of his death brought a heaviness that was j I unendurable, a new destiny drooping ; , down about her like a cloak. But i j oddly, the images that passed before her vision were not of Andrew March. . He was but the background. She was thinking of Chee Ming, the brutal marks upon his head in that I last moment, his dignity in rage, the magnitude of his defeat. Pictures of his kindness came a^ain and again — how patiently he had taught iter, how he had brought for her the pretty things ’of the world. Once he had laughed outright when a golden butterfly had wandered in at the window and j : rested upon his nose. (TO BE CONTINUED.) PURPOSE IN SELF-TORTURE People of Northern New Mexico Have High Object in Infliction of Bodily Punishment. A passion play takes place yearly I in the Raton and Sandia mountains I of northern New Mexico. A group of ; people living in this district have for | 1 centuries each Lenten season gone ■ through a series of self-inflicted bodily ■ tortures, enduring their agonies in the j ■ belief that these barbarities will ab- ! solve them from past and future sins, i The passion play is said to lie so savagely realistic that at times performers have died as a result of injuries • received while taking part in it. These people are known as Los Hermanon Penitentes, or the Peni- ■ tent brotherhood. The Penitentes are of Mexican origin, with a marked i strain of Indian blood. They are densely ignorant, not many being aide to ■ read Spanish, and only a very few are ' familiar with English. Hanlly one in ten lias ever been a hundred miles ■ away from the isolated mountain settlements where they make their homes. They keep small flocks of cattle and sheep and sometimes mine for gold i and silver. They live in mud and crude stone houses, as did their ancestors two and three hundred years ago. Air’s Density Changes. Job spoke of the “bottles” of heaven, and St. Augustine and others thought there were windows in heaven, and as these were opened or closed so the rain began and ended. But that was long ago. Even ns late as the middle of the eighteenth ce: 'iiry the chemical • nature of the air was not known. If , ; the density of the atmosphere reI mained constant it could all he comi pressed into a layer about live miles J thick. In that case ihe highest mountain peaks would stand out in space piercing the so-called homogeneous , atmosphere. But the density de. j creases with elevation, and vyhen the , ' aviator reaches an elevation of 10.000 , I meters he is in a medium v Inch i-- only i about one-1 bird as dense as at tiu ground. There are no clouds above this level. Pitcher Plant’s Curious Leaves. In the swamp regions of India and China a herbaceous plant Is found ; which has erv curious leaves. Each I leaf has the mid-riL prolonged to a j great extent, far beyond the leaf prop- ' er, terminating in a very singular j pitcher, from which the plant derives i its common name of “pitcher plant.” I This again term'.natos ’n a lid vhich is ' i regarded by botanists as the true I । blade of the leaf. s In this pitcher a fluid is fom I which । comes from tli«* plant its< and is ; probably necessary B-r its nourish ’ i ment. This fluid, which < ■ ■ nins some ' potash. varies much in quantity. ' sometimes only a drop or two. but often there is enough to drown any in qtl'sitive itwet which may venture in J side, and such insects are frequently found in the pitcher.—Brooklyn Eagle.
