SYNOPSIS.
Charlie Esdalle. superintendent of pollre
In the Timll illatrU-t. Imlta. a niun learned
In the wiles ami subterfuges of native
miilefueturH, Is much troubled by Insom
nia. While In camp, on.- night. In the
Jungle, being unable to Bleep, he strolls
along an iiiuisimI path. He suddenly comi'
upun a party of live olil men before a tiro.
He listens to their conversation. They
prove to be a retired merchant, Wajld
All, a veteran soldier. Jan Khan, and
three others, who possess the secret of
prolonging life. They are discussing the
wisdom of gaining possession of certain
secret treasure. Ksdaile draws near to
listen, stumbles and falls In front of the
party. He Is seized, but Is released on
Wajid Ali's advice.
FA HT III.
The other men Blond bark, and Es
dulle picked himself up and advanced
tn the fire, slightly out of breath. He
did not answer for n moment, but stood
stirring the white wood ashes with his
tioot. He wits revolving In Ills mind
the meaning of the strange words he
had overheard, and the luisitlon that
he ought to tuke. Then, reflecting that
this was something altogether out of
the line of ordinary experience, he
shelved the policeman for the private
Individual.
"You have my word that I will say
nothing of what I have seen or heard
tonight, or may see or hear. And now,
since I have given you thut assurance,
you may us well give me the clew to
the wild talk of treasure und Immunity
from death that I have overheard. As
"Tft IT STRANfiEH THAN' WHAT
YOU SAW ON MUHITKKI'M NUiHT
ONCE. IX DOLPIH'Il?" SAID
WAJID AM, QUIETLY.
to how I cnnie here, you were right.
AVujld All sahib, that It was not de
sign. My cainp Is hardly three miles
from this clearing, and I hod come out
to cut the nlr when I saw your fire
and judged you to be well, never mind.
Hut let me say that 1 have met many
strange things, but never one as
strunge as this."
"Is It stranger than what you saw
on .Mohurrum night once, in JJulpur?"
said Wajld All, quietly.
lOsdaile started. The reference could
only be to an occasion when he had
penetrated, a native disguise, and as
lie thought undetected, Into the hurly
burley of the backways of a great Mo
hammedan city. Who was this man
who knew of it?
"You know much, Wajld All," he
said, "Perhaps I, too, know a little."
"Yes, 1 know much," said Wajid All
with a puff at his hookah. "If I did
not be alive at this moment. I did not
trust you without good cause, sahib,
TJo you know that you are a man after
my own heart? If what 1 tell you now
induces you to throw In your lot
with us, we shall have gained more
than I hoped to win so soon. Do you
want to Know all?"
"Assuredly," said Esdalle. "Say on."
The old men had seated themselves
B :,ru In round the fire, acquiescent, ap
parently, in the leader's line of action.
Wajid All snuggled a little closer Into
his blanket, sucked at the hookah for a
moment, fixed hi a eyes on Esdalle, and
began.
"1 am an old man, sahib, as you per
ceive, but perhaps I am older than you
think. I can remember many things
surely I did not dream them that no
other living man has seen. There was a
time when this land we stand In now
belonged, not to the British raj, but to
' another people, and when the English
. caine there was much trouble. It was
war. and the English did not always
win, sahib. There was a battle over
there" Jerking his head to the west
ward "and the little hillmen had their
till of slaughter.' I knew of It, because
1 saw the white soldiers that came back,
and they spoke much of It. Their gen
eiel was killed, and his officers died
round him; you ran see the pillar that
vas put up to his memory arms sthe
naddi from Tlmli now. They won at
lust, the suhlbs, but the hillside there
has been soaked In English blood. And
those that came back, so worn and hag
gardI can see them now."
The meaning of this preamble forced
Itself upon Ksdaile at this juncture,
and he gasped.
"You're talking about the conquest of
Timll. You can't remember that. It
happened nearly a hundred years ago!"
"Ah! Walt till the end of my tale
before you say what I can or cannot do,"
chuckled Wajid All, much pleased ap
parently at the effect tie had produced.
" ou know of that time? I was a grown
man then, and the gray hairs were be
ginning to show themselves In my
,beurd. And of those that were men
'with me, of the millions that lived and
breulhed with mo in this Hindustan of
ours, not one remains save only those
here, und they were babes at that time."
He pnuped Impressively and then
continued:
"When 1 was a young man I became
a servant what you English would
call a clerk to an eld aqd wise mer
chant of Delhi, a dealer In silks and
carved Ivory and sweet smelling boxes,
who was well enough known In his
time. He traveled from one great city
to another. Hi lling his goods to the sa
hibs sometimes, and sometimes pene
trating to the native states and doing
'his business with the Princes of those
lands. He knew the worth of all
things, my muster, and he had al
ways one eye o:en for bargains wher
ever he went, nnd the things he col
lected were many and curious. He was
a rich man, but lie was not a happy
one. Long before, his only son, who
was to him as the apple of his eye,
had been murdered by thugs while
traveling with goods, and bis death
had preyed on my master's mind. He
favored me among his servants, for he
aid that I was wise for so young a
.
man, and would come to great things.
It may be. I do not think I was ever a
fool, even in my youth, which Is the
time for foolishness. My master, then,
chose me out to lie his personal attend
ant, to travel with him Instead of stay
ing at Delhi poring over his account
books, and he used to speak to me of
many matters. Looking back now, I
think he was training me according to
some system of his own, for it was not
only of the secrets of our trade that
he sHike, but the things of the
broader life, and how to know the mo
tives of men and use them. He was
very wise.
"It happened at last that my master
fell sick when he and I were alone upon
a Journey, which we had undertaken
to settle a bargain of half a lakh's
worth of silk and gold brocade with a
great princess. We had disposed of the
goods and were returning to Delhi,
alone, as I said before, except for the
escort, without which it was not safe
to travel In those times. I do not know
how the sickness came. Allah had
willed It, only that my master should
die. We halted in a camping place by
the roadside, and he suffered for lnuny
hours, during which time I tried many
ivmetlljn, without avail. And then,
just before he died, he called me close
to him and bade me unwrap the folds
of his turban and gave me this."
Wajld All stopped again and fum
bled In his cumberbund. Esdalle bent
over to see what lay In his hand and
found only a small buttered silver box,
of the size of a pill box, which the old
man was handling tenderly.
"I don't see anything in that," he
said. Impatiently. "Explain."
The other stroked the hox with his
finger as he replied:
"Am I not explaining, sahib? I will
open the box now and you Bhall see."
As he spoke the lid Hew up as though
he had touched a hidden spring, and
he held the thing out so that Esdalle
could see the contents. A red-gray
powdr-r, of the consistency of salt; and
smelling ever so falnjly of a strange,
sweet odor. That was all. Wajld All
shut the lid again with a snap and re
turned the box to Its hiding place.
"Little enough, Is it not?" he said.
"A pinch sutflces, however, unless the
subject be at the point of death. Did
you ever hear of Haflz, the sorcerer,
sahib?"
"A man that lived In the time of
Shah Jehan, you mean? Yes. Some of
his spells are used by old women to
conjure with even now."
"Yes, though 1 think they are but
vain things, made to delude the credu
lous. Hatlz was a conjurer and a wiz
ard, and a knave for the most part,
and the things he did were done only
for trickery and evil. Nevertheless, he
was a thinker In his way. He spent
all his spare hours In trying to find out
the essence that it was said could be
made to prolong life and he found it.
Of what it is made I do not know.
They say that life Is only given by the
taking away of life, except by Ood.
Hut, whether the means were foul or
fair, Haiti discovered the secret, and
the fruit of his labors lies in that little
box."
Esdaile looked sharply at the old
man.
"That Is a difficult word to believe,
Wajld All sahib. I am not a child, to
be pleased with fairly tales. The thing
is Impossible."
"It is the truth before Ood," said
Wajid All, solemnly. "That powder
means freedom from all mortal sick
ness; It means life so long as a man can
escape accident or violence, Haliz died
by the hand of a woman, but not be
fore he had handed on the powder to
his son. He became a soldier, and died
at last on the battlefield, which is a fate
the powder cannot guard against. His
body lay where it fell and was stripped
by a peasant, who took the box for a
silver trinket and sold it to a camp fol
lower as such. It passed through many
ignorant hands after that quite safely,
for there is a secret spring. It was re
served for my master, who has studied
in many wise books and knew of Hafiz'
discovery, to trace Its history and re
cover it. It came to him after long
searching, and I cannot enter into the
details of its finding now. He admin
istered it to his son, but he would not
take It himself, for he feared to be left
alone. It was well for him that he did
ho, for his son, you know, was killed,
and after that it only remained for
him to die. Hut before he died he hand
ed it to me, wherefore I am here at this
moment. I did not tell anyone of the
secret, neither did I take the powder
myself until tome time afterward, when
I had thought out the scheme that we
were discussing even now. For I
thought, rightly, that to give life be
yond the allotted span to men who had
no reason but fear of death for living
were a cruel kindness. What would
life be to a man when all his people
had died, and he was left without end
or ptlfose? All men have the terror of
death but I think that the terror of
lite. If substituted, would be a still
more fearful thing. So I bided my time
and kept silent and amassed money.
To be Continued.

John Rudy, the man who stabbed
James Morrey on Friday evening. Is
still confined in the borough lock-up.
Since the time of his arrest the officers
have had numerous calls from his
friends who would like to see him and
hold a conversation with him. On Sun
day morning when an otticer went to
the Jail to feed the prisoner he no
ticed that one of the heavy Iron bars
of the cell had been bent. Rudy was
questioned but denied any knowledge
of the affair. ,It is supposed that Rudy
made an attempt to escape. The jail
is now in charge of two men who keep
watch during the night. The condi
tion of James Morrey is still a critical
one. He may not recover from his
Injuries. Latest reports were to the
effect that he was in such a condition
that his recovery is doubtful. He Is
now at the Carbondale hospital.
The Christian Endeavor society of
the Presbyterian church will send dele
gates to the fourth annual convention
of the Christian Endeavor union of
'Susquehanna county to be held In Hall
stead on Wednesday and Thursday of
this week.
John Meka and John Kurtanla, the
men who were with John Rudy at the
time of the stabbing affray on Friday
night were lined and allowed to go.
The evidence against them was not
sufficient to warrant their being de
tained. A telephone message was received
late yesterday afternoon notifying Of
ficer Ledyard of the serious condition
of Murrey. He Is gradually sinking
and the loss of the other eye Is certain
in a few hours. Rudy was taken to
Carbondale in order to be Identified
before Morrey loses his sight entirely.
Ledyard and John Maxey handcuffed
the prisoner and took him down to see
his victim yesterday afternoon. It is
feared that an attempt will be made
to break open the jail doors by Rudy's
friends. They are determined to try
and have him escape even If they have
to resort to violence. An armed force
will be stationed in the interior until
the prisoner is taken to Montrose.
on Friday evening at the rooms of
the Young Men's Christian association
a debute will be held. The subject Will
be, "Resolved. Thut United Stales sen
ators should be elected by the people,"
All admission fee of 5 cents will be
charged to those who are not members
it the association.

Mr. and Mrs. (leorge Chllds, of Ridge-
When a mm is
ruined and there is
no help for it, a
good wife is tne
one stay and com
fort left to him.
But no man, who
is a man, wants to
put his wife to this
extremity. b o r
woman in her
gentle nature suf
fers with the hus
band she comforts
nd consoles. It Is a humiliation to any
proud woman that the man of her choice
should prove at last a failure broken in
purse and in spirit. Back of all business
failures lies ill health. No man who is suf
fering from brain fag, nervous prostration
and debility, due to impure blood and a dis
ordered digestion cau long succeed in busi
ness, livery woman should make it her
duty to see that her husband takes proper
care of his health.
The best medicine in all the world for
bard-worked business men is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It is medicine
for both body and mind. It makes the di
gestion good, the liver active, and the appe
tite keen. It fills the blood with the life
giving elements that build new tissues. It
invigorates and purifies. It is the one great
blood -maker and flesh-builder. There's
nothing in the market "just as good."
A. V. Purdy, Esq.. of Otterpond. Caldwell Co.,
Ky., writes: "1 herewith inclose 31 one -cent
Minus to pay portage on une of your cloth-bound
Medical Advisers. I know your book to lie a good
one. I had Biiflcred seven years with liver com
plaint when I read about your ' Golden Medical
Discovery ' in nue of your 'books. After using a
few lttles of the ' Discovery ' and three viala of
the 'Pleasant Pellet' I was completely cured."
One copy of a good, practical, medical
work is worth more in a home than a thous
and works of fiction. Dr. Pierce's Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser' is the best
home medical book extant. It contains
1,008 pages and three hundred illustrations
and is written in plain, everyday language
that any one may understand. Over a mil
lion women own copies of it and 680.000
of them paid $1.50 each for their copies.
A new and large edition will be given away
absolutely FRKB. If you want a copy in a
paper cover, send twenty -one one-c?nt
stamps, to cover cost of mailing only, to

tion, No. 66, Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y.
