In the Tlmll district, India, a man learned
ill the wiles ami sublerf uri'8 of native
malefactors. Is much troubled by In
somnia. bile In camp, one niKht, In the

uloni; uu unused path, tie suddenly comes
upon a party uf men before a tire.
PART II.
The Unlit flickered up from a pile of
I'UizIiik b'KM and, branches, uml showed
it to be the center of u tiny clearing
wherein sat a conmpuny of old men
five, Ksdaile counted putlillK their
hookas with their faces lit up by the
lire. Very venerable old men, white
bcai'ded, Riave-eyed all, and respecta
ble, middle-class. Mohammedans, to
Jnde by their dress. They had their
blankets wrapped well about them, and
uvre squatting there unconcerned
cimiiL'h, while the blue hookah smoke
ilrit'ted above them, and the warmth
from the loirs comforted their old bones.
Ksdaile took a more careful survey and
recognized two of them, with a start
of surprise, ns prominent men of the
city of UaumaKa, seven miles down the
river, one was reported to lie the old
est Inhabitant, a retired merchant of
the name of Wajid Ali, well known aa
a peaceful and public-spiriled Mussul
man. He lived in n ramshackle "koti"
on tile outskirts of the town. The other
was i man with whom Ksdaile had
once seen him riding in KamnuKa. and
of whom In; had heard some talk nts
one of the veterans of the old army. He
bud a reptiiallon of havim; been a
brilliant and irallant soldier in his time.
Until, however, were extremely old. and
the present general ion took but small
account of them. The other three ray
beards were unknown to the watcher.
Wajid Ali withdrew his lips from the
hookah's mouth and looked about him
with an air of authority. He was
withered and wrinkled with years, and
his face wore a look of keen intclli
Rence. About him, us about the others,
there was a sintular uir nf vitality
that struck Ksdaile as curious. Kvi
ilenlly the hand of time had been laid
very lightly upon them. There was not
a sign of senility or decay in the alert
aspect of the party.
Tile up the lire, my brother. We
need waimth in the darkness of this
Junirje: If It were not that walls have
eats I would have called you together
In the city. And now to serious discus
sion, for the niiiht is far advanced."
One of the three unknown shuttled
ui with a Ki'trnt anil pulled the lire
together. Then, as he squinted on his
haunches aKain.he addressed Wajid Ali
villi querulous in-rent:
"It Is always discussion, nntliinir fur
ther. Are we to deliberate through a
cuittiry we have the key to so much
it bin our grasp?"
The leader turned upon him fiercely,
and Ksdaile saw his eyes Hash with
a oner.
Have I chosen you prnybeards only
to Hud that you are still beset by the
lollies of youth? You will take the bit
l.i.;t.vi:cn your teeth, Wizir-un-din, like
ii hend:UioiiK colt? 'We,' you say! Hut
for me you would be rotting in your
Kiave at this moment, uimruteful doir
that you are! It Is 1 that have labored
and travailed of this secret of ours for
so lonif. It Is but patience I ask of you.
'alienee! Who but a fool could not
abide in patience once the fear of death
was banished from his thoughts? It
is the lli-lit or time that makes men
unable to brook delay, and that Is no
longer anything to you."
' That is true enough, my father,"
said the other rather sulkily. "Yiui for
get, however. We owe indeed much to
you, but our friend Jan Khan here,
also a little. Hut for him your dis
covery had been ns water poured into
sand. You may rIvc a man this Mewui'
of yours that will keep from him all
mortal diseases Allah be witness it Is
a marvelous thins! but without money
to make life sweet lie would be ns well
In the grave when lie had lived his al
loted span. Jan Khan tells us of the
treasure that only needs a couple of
hours' work to unfold, und yet you hold
us back and bid us let It be. Is It that
you are afraid of the blood that has
been spilled upon It?"
"Ay. that Is well spoken," broke In
a third speaker. 'Jan Khan did much;
lv fouRht, he went through much blood
shed, nnd at the risk of his life he
marked down the hiding place of the
Uwaliur treasurer. And now, when we

have but to stretch out our hands to
Kiasp it, you ore anmy at our patience.
You chose us cut of your own purpose,
nnd have proved us tcood men and true,
und yet you allow us no voice in the
matter. Hesides, my father, you may
be wultlng for nn impossibility, and
m-.-anwhile there is so much Hint money
tun brinK."
"There are three thintrs that money
can bring three only," said Wajid All,
fixing his keen eyes on the other men.
"Kuxury. women, power JudRe for
yourselves which lie the greater. You
who have outlived even your own chil
dren, whom I railed in to life atrain
; from the very steps of the tomb, which
would you choose? Are line raiment
and soft living to be desired above all
thins? .We, are not poor men: we
hav enoiiirh, each of us. nnd no prince
needs more. Think of the miserliness
alone, to squander this treasure that
men have split their life blood over, as
ns Wazir-ud-lin rlRhtly nys. upon our
old bodies. So much for that. And
the second: are we not lotiR past such
folly? We have passed these things.
When I was young. I loved a woman,
and hungered after her, and went
through lire nnd water to get her, as
young men will. What does it avail
me now? She faded as quickly as a
llower that has been plucked, and the
beauty that I hud striven for went from
her even as I looked. She died of the
black cholera she that had seemed the
loveliest thing on earth for half an
hour. It Is a hitter sweet thing this
love, an emptiness and a shadow that

wise men. Jly brothers, is not this the
truth?"
The frraybea.rds nodded.
"tfay on, my father."
"There remains, then, only power to
strive after. Power! To rule men: to
hold them in the hollow of your hand:
to see them cringe to you, slave for
you die for you! To say: "It shall be
so,' to a million people, and see It done.
To have the mothers hold up their
children, as you go by, and bid them
mark your features, for you are their
master. Master! With these lakhs at
our -feet, without terror of sickness,
with all the experience of a man's life,

lent empire that shall be vassal not
even to the sultan of Kout. As Mu
homet is the prophet uf Cod, he will not
desert his servants!"
For once Ksdaile's daring played him
false. He had been craning forward
and creeping steadily nearer during the
old man's speech, in order to lose not
a syllable of the strange eolloquy.whun
his loot went suddenly into un unex
pected hole, und with a crash of under
growth he fell upon his face almost at
Jan Khan's feet. Hcfore he could re
cover himself, the soldier was upon
him, and there was a knife at bis
throat. He struggled violently to
reach a revolver, but unother man had
seized him by the arms, and u pair of
muscular hands. In which he recog
nized none of the feebleness of uge,
pinioned him thus. Jan Khan rolled
him over his face toward the light, und
the five surveyed him, panting und
mad w ith rage, by its glare.
"A spy!"
"No, It is an Englishman. Ah, yes,
the pollce-wahi suhib. He has been set
upon us, doubtless to discover all. We
are undone."
Ksdaile's voice broke In, hoarse and
choking:
"Let me up, you sons of unclean
fathers! Who are you to hold a sahib
thus? You shull suffer for this. Ze
mindar sahib, take that knife away
from my windpipe. Let me up, I say!"
"It is as I said," said Aziin-ud-dlu.
"He knows us, and some enemy has
done this tiling unless " und he
blinked under his white eyebrows ut
the other four "there Is a traitor
among us!"
Jan Khan advanced the knife until
It pricked the ttesh. "In the lighting
days," he said, with deliberation,
"when there was one man too many,
he was seen no more. Who knows
whither he. went? And this sahib is
the one too many. Shall I send him
out. my father, to llnd the way that all
others have trod? It Is easily done."
Wajid Ali had taken no active part In
the proceedings of the lust few min
utes, nor hud he spoken hut his eyes
hud ben employed busily scrutinizing
Ksdaile. He watched narrowly for the
faintest sign of blenching, and the re
sult must have been In the prisoner's
favor, for his answer showed u note of
admiration.
"Let be, old bloodhound! This man
Is no spy, neither is he a coward, and
he is better worth than to make food
for Jackals. Hesides, I know him to
he one In a thousand In many things.
An Kngllsh-lrishman's honor is a
sacred thing. Suppose we trust to
that." Then to Ksdaile: "Sahib, I do
not know what strange chance hm
brought you here tonight: hut 1 take
It to be chance and not design. If we
place ourselves In your hands will you
swear to keep silence? This is no com
mon nfl'alr of murder or robbery, and
your honor's conscience may be easy.
If not Hut I will not threaten you.
Only, It would be best."
"I will swear nothing with a knife at
my throat," said Ksdaile. "Let me up!"
Again Wajid All's eye ran over him.
keen and penetrating. Then he nodded
approvingly.
"Hahut aechn. sahib! That was well
said. Take your hands off him, my
brothers, and put buck that little play

Touching Story ol' n I.mvycr'i
En-
counter M itli it Crook.
From the Times-Herald.
Alfred Henry Lewis, the well-known
Washington correspondent, formerly
practiced law, and for several years
served as city prosecutor in Cleveland,
O. While filling that office he was sur
prised one day by the receipt of a tele
gram asking him to come to, Ashtabula,
(i., by the next train to act as counsel
for a prisoner there.
After considerable irresolution Mr.
Lewis decided to go. The prisoner
proved to he John Larney, the most ex
pert pickpocket this country ever pro
diicd, and who-Is universally known in
police circles ns "Molley Matches," a
sobriquet he earned In his youth by dis
guising himself on one occasion us a
match girl.-
Larney. and two companions were In
trouble. They had been "working" th
crowds at a country fair In (iivenville.
Pa., and had heen very successful. They
attempted to ply their nefarious arts oil
a train while going hack to Cleveland,
and one old farmer discovered that he
had been robbed and raised a row. The
granger's friends rallied to his support
and the guilty parties were quickly
"spotted" and arrested. When Ash
tabula was reached the pickpockets
were turned over to the town official
and were locked up. They wanted
Lewis to get them out. The Cleveland
attorney found no difficulty in accom
plishing this. He began hnbeas cor
pus proceedings and raised the point
that us the cmee was committed on a
train running through Pennsylvania
und Ohio It was impossible to tell which
state should have jurisdiction. As no
cue was w illing to swear that the crime
hud been committed alter tiie Ohio
state line as crossed the risoners
wire released and with their counsel
took the next train for Cleveland.
"Molly Matches" was greatly elated
over his easy escape from what he
feared would be a long term-In jail, and
was very profuse In thanking Attorney
Lewis. The latter thought that $.'.0
would be about right for his services,
and said so when pressed to name his
fee.
"Fudge!" remarked T.ainoy. taking
out a good-sized roll, "you're tuo easy.
You don't understand your own busi
ness as well as you do the business of
others. Here's $;W0. and If that isn't
satisfactory there's, more where that
came from."
Mr. Lewis accepted the cash ami
stowed it away in an inside pocket.
The attorney and his client chatted
familiarly during the hour's ride back
to Cleveland. When the train stopped
at a suburban station Larney and his
companions arose and shook hands
with their counsel.
"We'll drop off here, und scatter be-

ney; "there might lie somebody at the

Mr. Lewis rode into the city, jumped
Into a cab and went out to his resi
dence. Arriving there he put his hand

the successful speculator. It was this
way. lie had a sweetheart out In Ohio
whom he longed to have with him to

prospect of the 53-cont dollars grew
more promising the outlook for a life
of connubial bliss on a depreciated pur
chasing power of Ids none too princely
salary brought on an attack of hypo
chondria. When election rolled around
he secured ten days' leave and Jour

contribute his mite toward the salva
tion of his country, and incidentally to
pour his woes Into the sympathetic
ems of Ills beloved.
Mr. Ilurhaiigh whs no different from
other lovers. He threw discrelloii to
the winds and asked his betrothed to
"go purl iict-s" in his future and trust to
fate and fi.'!-cenl dollars. She lucked
none of the courage and rapidity of
decision characteristic of the lassies of
the buckeye stale. She would forsake

So he braved the anticipated wrath of

son-in-law agneiug to allow the result
of the election to ilet-rmlne the Issue.
If Ilryan and free silver should triumph
he must return to Washington alone;
If McKinley, sound money anil protec

Hryan, and his heart rose and sank
alternately. It was a nli'ht of excite
ment to Mr. llarbaugli. Hut linally it
was know n that the Ohio man had cer
tainly won. and the young lady's father
acknowledged himself the loser, surren
dered his claim on his daughter, nnd
pronounced a benediction on the lover.
