liles and falls in front of the party. He is
Felssed, but is released on Wnjtd Ali's u.l-vl.-e.
Ksdaile Hives his word to remain
Flletit. and Wajid All explains to him the
finding of a marvelous powder, made
by a wizard, which prolongs life.

"It chnnceil nt last," contintleil
U'.ijM Mi. "thtit I fell In with Jan
Khan le ie. ami I fmiinl a motive for
li Ini. Jan Khan Is a soldier, he has
fought Mil l lamiialiriieil inure than
most ill' n. He lias been the soldier
r.f fortune, ami fortune has paid him
vvll. It happened loin; airo that he was
idle of the bodyguard of the riddling
prince of Owalinr, You know the story
nf the ilwalior treasure how they
se.uelied for it not many years since,
i!i!,v,inK anil tapping anil miniim; to
ilis. oMi' notliiim. The mahaiajah anil
find his people were very clever, but
they were looking in the wtoiir place.
The treasurer was hidden too securely
for them to discover; but Iheie Is one
man who knows where It is, und that
m ill Is here."
"Ay, I know," said Jan Khan, Ills
deep voice booming in suddenly. "I
v.as one of the men that buried It, In
the ile ml of niylit, workliiR like moles
In the darkness. We were promised a
treat reward, and we were picked men.
I can picture it now the fear und con
fusion that there was in the palace,
the word of Invasion coming ever near
er and nearer, ami the callins of us
to secrecy in the nialiarajah's presence.
Ko we burled It. and we had nur re
ward, lly the intervention of Allah I
heard a word whispered that meant
death, and when the work was done I
left everything and lied into the night.
There was an order that we were to
jret our pay for what we had done.
They went -the others and they did
not return. It is not well to he trust
ed with tile secrets of princes."
He relapsed into silence again,
'you see," said Wajid All, "what he
speaks Is no lie. I met this man. and
foregathered w ith him, and out of our
two minds mine for the most part
we formed this tliinir. Here are two
Kfeat gifts, riches and life, the things
that hold power and greatness if they
are used aright, in our hands, and it
is to our honor that we have not squan
dered them. Will you hear the
er.il. sahib?"
"Since I have given my word, I may
ns well hear all," said Ksdaile.
"tiur plan, then, is to be rulers of the
land; to pick, as the time goes on, the
wisest men and join them to us so that
their intellect may work with us. We
have time enough, and 1 see the time
coming when you English will let the
empire slip from your fingers, and It
will he well for the man that is at hand
to catch it. You are eaten up with dis
sensions at home, and your speakers
and governors in Kngland do not know
the Worth of what they hold. Why
there are many of them that are ready
to let it go even now. Is It not true
that even the "Laf sahib Is made to
listen to the babble of llitle men and
obey them, by your laws, so that he Is
made a laughing stock to his servants?
Uo they not come here and listen to the
idle tales of Jtengalis and schoolmas
ters, and go away full of them, to work
mischief? nh, yes, I know it. This
thing was not when 1 was a young
man; It has come of late years, and it
tlie worth of what they hold. Why,
wo were to rise up tomorrow these
fools that :'ou set to make your laws
would applaud us, though it were to
their shame and the dow nfall of your
empire. They are pleased when a
liengali stands up and speaks sedition;
they put thorn even to rule over us, the
children of the true faith! We ruled
the land before ever you came, and we
will rule it again, for it was made for
Us. You that govern here are good men
and wise, for the most part, but your
time Is nearly "over. You are far away
from the heart of your country, and
the sedition-mongers have it all their
own way. Who cares that you come
lieie and tile in harness? They only
lllng mud at you when you are not
there to reply to them. Y'our work Is
good, It will endure, but you will not
' reap the benefit, for you will be har
assed and denied even while you do
It, and then you will be forgotten. Ah,
sahib, I am not without knowledge.
To you I say be one of us. Leave this
working for masters that scoff at you
and join us; you will not tlnd us un
grateful." Ksdaile rose nml looked round upon
the little gathering.
"Five men and the greatest power
In the world!" he said. "Do you know
the people you would turn against?
The babblers at Westminster are not
the voice of the Kn&llsh, Your words
are as meaningless ns a madman's."
"The bablers ruin, though, while
you concern yourselves only about your
word," said Wajid AH, with a chuckle,
i "They have leisure enough to misgov
ern. Your hands are tied, and you
know It. Five men? Yes, it is few
enough, but there will be more pres
ently. I have taken twenty years to
choose these men, and I huve not
chosen them foolishly. Jan Khan
lu re is a soldier; he can fight, and he
can stir up other men to light. Azim
ud-din yonder Is n man versed In the
knowledge of ways and means, and of
ail the mysteries of money. He shall
be our financier. The two remaining
have silver tongues to charm men
Their work hns already begun, and
there are many who hang upon their
words even now. And you, sahib"
turning suddenly "shall be a. power,
too! You shall organize and watch,
: and feel the pulse of the country with
me. Five men only! Did not an Idle
tale of some discontented sepoy set the
country blazing forty years ago, and
. does the nature of the eastern man
change In a day? There were no lead
ers then, only men greedy for spoil and
revenge, else you would not have con
quered as you did. I know my people;
and I know that the thing I hope for
Is not only possible, but will certainly
come If I strive for It. It is not idle
lust of power, either, this, but the de
of the Art.

sire to work our country good and to
free It fiom you aliens for aliens you
are for all your nolile work. Wo will
respect your memory, but the time will
come when you must leave our land to
us. So few, you say. sahib? The man
that is the Master of life, that is crip
pled by no fear of the sickness that
overshadows his brothers, Is worth
more than you can realize. We are I lie
Masters of the Art of living, and we
shall win. once and for all, will you
Join us'.'"
There was a Ions pause. Then said
Ksdaile. iiilclly:
"You know that I cannot. I have
been wondering nt your audacity in
proposing It. You are a stranue man,
Wajid Ali."
Wajid Ali bent forward and caught
the Knglislmian by the coal.
1 am not so sure," be said. "Think
of the little children, sahib. You are it
pour niaii now; how are you going to
send them back to Kngland. und keep
the mem sahib from fading before
your eyes? Is your government grate
ful enough to do that? Yet you have
worked long anil hardly for it. Think
of your sous. Kngllshnien that will be,
and of tlie life here that Is sapping the
blood from them every hour. What
would you not have been if you had
gone home as other men's children
did? The taint of the east has dogged
you. Ah! that makes you wince, but It
Is true. With us your pay would be
in proportion to your service, and you
know how we estimate that. Not for
yourself, no, but for the wife, sahili
the wife and the children that are dear
er than your life! It Is a barren scru
ple that prevents you benefiting them."
The man's voice, pleading out of the
half-light, had surely magic In It. Ks
daile saw the struggle for existence
that he fought for so long ended at
once, and forever. The children; what
a chord that touched; It was true that
to lie easternbred as he was carried
with it loss of caste and privilege, and
It maddened him to think that the bit
terness of It lay before those that
should come after him. It was a taint,
though he had never avowed it before.
And then to give his wife back her
youth In an Knglish home, though he
must stay and Ah! what was it he
would stay und do? Madness to think
of It: madness, and worse than that.
He faced round again.
"Not another word, Wajid All," he
said. "I am weak from want of sleep
and unmanned, else surely I should not
have listened thus far to you. I am
not to be bought, not even with such a
bribe as you offer. Fortunate for you
that my lips are sealed, otherwise I
should hold you up to ridicule us a
man that was fool enough to try to
bribe an Knglishman. Your treasure,
too, is not yet in your hands, und all
your babble of power and riches may
be of less consequence than the slight
est accident that might reveal the hid
den wealth to others. For my part I
think your talk Is Idle vaporing. Im
practicable and vain, though 1 agree
that you have the appearance of wise
men, but for your loudness in choosing
a meeting place In this wild jungle. I
am no skeptic. I know too much; but
this wild scheme of yours Is too roman
tic for me. And here a word of ad
vice. Tlie empire Is not built on as un
stable a foundation as you think. You
have looked only on the surface, and
you underestimate the obstacles before
you. Remember the thousands of Eng
lishmen that have died for It here,
on this very soil and think If the na
tion to which they belong would have
sent them forth unheeding. Think of
the network of careful government that
covers all the land, und the use we have
made of the lesson of forty years since
that you mentioned just now. And
when was east ever pitted against
west that it did not sucsumh, sooner or
later? The reins are not slipping from
our hands; it is that we have seen our
way to a broader, nobler rule than per
haps your nature can comprehend. I
will not argue with you further, be
cause there are some things too sa
cred to be spoken of unadvisedly, and,
as I said before, I am dazed and be
wildered now. If ynu win your treas
ure there is use enough for that with
out overturning the cleanest govern
ment your country has known. Look
uround at your millions of fellow coun
trymen, poverty-stricken, sick and
struggling, and reflect If It could not
benefit them. As you say, power Is the
best of the trinity that money run give,
but the power of charity only. Lot this
money lie cleansed from its blood stain
by the thanksgivings of the poor, to
whom it can give blessings your Mus
ulman empire could never distribute.
As for your precious gife of life, you
are handling edged tools, and you may
lind it to be no benefit, but a bitter
curse. I will huve none of It."

A WELL-KNOWN RAILROAD MAN.
Richard Hall is one of the oldest en
gineers on the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western road. His home is on
South Main avenue, but for many years
lie lived on Hampton street. Mr. Hull
returned from the civil war In is:l and
shortly afterwards began "braking" on
the Delaware. Lackawanna and West
em road. In a I'e.v months he was pro
moted as fireman on the "John I. liluir,"
riiuiiiuga train from Scraatoii to I lamp
ion Junction. Early in 'III .Mr. Hall
uguili went to the field of battle and
was wounded at Antietam. After the

war he again began work us a fireman,
working on the Southern division und
in September of '65 he was made an
engineer of n coal train. Since that
time he has been un engineer. He has
never lost u day's work for misconduct
and he was never discharged.
Mr. Hall was the first engineer to run
a Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
train with the air brake attachment;
in fact he made the trial test on this
road He also was among Hie first to
run a Hum with the vacum brake, in
run a. train wit li the vacuum brake, iu
lMifi the boiler of .Mr. Hall's engine ex
ploded while bis train was standing on
a switch at Washington, N. J. Mr.
Hall and his fireman were on the en
gine at the time and both men were
thrown many leet in I he air, Mr. Hall
landing on one of the cms u limit forty
feet from the demolish. 'd engine. He
was but slightly hurt although a severe
scalp wound necessitated his conllne
nii nt to home lor several weeks.
This Is only one of the thrilling In
lidciils of Mr. 1 fall's life as an engineer,
in ic.;u one of the most interesting steel
lail chases on record, in which Mr.
Hall fimiied, took place on the South
ern or main Delaware, Liu kawunna
and Western division. Mr. Hall was
engineer on a coal train and on the
eventful morning under discussion, his
engine was pulling u train of coal cars
bound for Washington. When Moscow
was leached the train was stopped in
order to "switch" a car. The particular
car was near the end of the trip und
when the engine pulled ahead to make
the sw itch two cars and a caboose were
left standing on the up track. The
caboose was about forty feet away from
the two cars and all brakes were on.
Somehow the brukej on the two cars
loosened and they rolled down toward
the caboose. The speed wns so great
that when the cur-w ith-the-reil-Iight
was struck the brake chains were broke
and away started the car for Scranton
on the up-track. The danger was im
minent. At any lime u train might be
coming from Scranton und u bad col
lision would result.
Mr. Hull saw the danger. He ran his
engine a few rods down to the Moscow
station where Martin Hurd, conductor
of the train, had stopped the two coal
cars after I hey had bumped the now
invisible caboose. Says Mr. Hall:

"Mart, we must catch that caboose."
"fan we do It."' asked Hurd as he
jumped on the engine.
"line thing is certain." responded the
engineer; "it wv siuii we i..u... .
it." And down the line the Went oil
tlie "down" truck chasing the flying
cali.ov. Uesidcs Mr. Hall and tlio
conductor Fireman Dun Ural nurd was
on the engine. The three men. with
determination in each face, looked
ahead for the runaway while the en
gine with full power on sped down th"
track at u great speed. Seven n.iles
were covered before tlie dying caboose
was overtaken. Then came the i(Ues
tion: "How can we stop it?" The en
gine was on one track, the caboose on
the oi her and the speed was too great
to permit of running ahead and switch
ing In front of th" dying machine.
So. Winn the tender of tlie engine
was within the collect distance from
the caboo.se I lie three men held out a
large Iron hook nml cubbing it in thff
rear platform of the caboose they at
tempted to hold it. Tlie book was
pulled from their hands. Another try
was made with another hook. This
lime It was a success and the runaway
was hroiu'.hl to a standstill. Then the
news of the great chase reached the
newspapers. Mr. li;.il itli the other
two. were much lauded for their glim
devotion to duty u:ul the big com
pany. This is Richard Hull, lie is now
years of age and is nckoucd among
the most trusted men on tlie road. He
has been treasurer of the Delaware
l.acl aw ati'i i and Western Mutual Aid
for the past ten years.
