SYNOPSIS.
Charlie ICsJallo, uperliitcndont of poli:e
In th Tinill district, India, a man learned
In the wiles and subterfuges of native
malefactor. Is much troubled with insom
nia. While in cuiiiii, one lilKht, in the
jiumle. Ih-Iiik uuable to sleep, he strolls
ulonir. an unused path. He suddenly
comes upon u parly of live old men before
a lire. Il listens to their conversation.
They prove to be a retired merchant, Wa
jld All, a veterun soldier, Jati Khan, and
three others, who possess the secret of
prolonijinK life. Tluy are discussing the
wisdom f Kuiuhis possession of certain
neciet treasures. ICsdalle draws near to
listen, stumbles nnd falls In front of the
party. He Is seized, but Is released on
Wiiid All's advice. Ksdaile nlvea his
word to reniuin silent, and Wajld All ex
plains to him the timlliiK of u marvelous
powder, inncle by a wizard, which pro
longs life, and the locality of the treasure,
lie Invites Ksdalle to become one of them,
and Join In an effort to overthrow the
Trltlsh rule in India. Ksdalle declines.
PART V.
He walked nwny from the circle with
Id head down, and without another
frhince at the live men around the lire.
The bhu kness of the forest where the
firelight did not dance was Intense, and
the- merit trees seemed to stretch down
tin lr arms nnd cover hint its lie neared
tin-in. His brain felt rifxzy after the
strange Interview, and he wanted to
pet buck to everyday surroundings to
In nble to think quietly. The whole
thini? was preposterous, and yet
WnjUl All watched him for a mo
ment or two, then called to him.
"A-re sahibt Arc we to part In nn
(jcr. tlien, hecHuse I have offerrd you
that which you cannot tithe'.' It Is I
that should be anered. that you take
half my conlldence for an Idle tale and
half for the old man's ravings. I,et us
I'M-t In Kimil fellowship at any rate, it
we are to meet hereafter as strangers,
('nine back to the lire, sahib, and warm
yourself before you ro. and take a puff
at my hookah, to show that we are
p'ill friends. Come."
Ksdalle tinned back at the words
and complied, certainly this stranne
nbl man, with his wild schemes, hud
the power of iliHwinB other men to
him, though race and religion separat
ed them. Tomorrow he would seek
him out In his own house, and discuss
the whole thini? again, and argue with
hint at length. Meanwhile, he puffed at
the hookah and inhaled one, twice,
thrice.
"Wlil the sahib bp graciously pleased
to take his bath? It Is past 8 o'clock."
There was broad daylight streaming
In through the dour of the tent, with
the sunlight sparkling through the
trees outside, and a murmur of every
day life fell upon Ksdaile's ear. Hy
the bedside stood his bearer with a Jug
of shaving water. He struggled Into
an upright position In the bed and
stared around him with unbelieving
eyes.
"Morning! Have I been asleep? Hut
where are the live? And how the
dickens did I get here?"
Questions which the bearer did not
uttempt to answer. He merely hoped
the sahib had passed a good night, and
congratulated him on having got the
better of the Insomnia for once. It was
many days, he said, since he had come
to the sahib In the morning and found
him sleeping thus peacefully. I'erhaps
the neck of the malady was broken
now-, and It would pass altogether. It
was a fearful thing, the bearer went
on, for It gave an opening for the evil
Fplrlts, and It was well Indeed that It
was conquered. Kvldeiitly, by his man-
tier, he knew nothing.
Ksdaile dressed wonderlngly, too
taken up with the though', of the
night's experience to take much heed
even of such an event as five hours'
health!' sleep was to him. He looked
over his clothes to see If some chance
sign about them should show In what
manner he had spent the night. There
was nothing except yes, except the
very faintest smell of hookah smoke.
Hut that might have been the bearer's
handling. His boots had been cleaned
and clothes brushed as usual, long be
fore he woke.
After breakfast, he rode out along
the line to see If he could find the
point at which he had diverged. It
was a futile endeavor, for there was
no beacon point of fire to guide him
now. and all the forest looked as dense
and Impenetrable as ever. He rode up
and down for the best part of an hour
nnd then gave up In despair. He be
gan to doubt the reality of the mid
night Interview. Hut no; It was Impos-
slide that it could have been Imagina
tion. Wajld All's words still rang In
his ears, nnd he saw the circle round
the lire plainly enough in his mind's
eye, and ran over every detail of the
. colloquy with a clearness that bore no
resemblance to the bluired memory of
a dream.
The camp was moved to a "bagh"
near Kammaga that afternoon, and u;s
Uuile pushed on beyond the bazaar to
call on Wajld Aii In his own home.
The old stone "kotl" looked very de
serted, its shutters closed, and the un
kempt compound occupied only by
drowsy hens scratchins In the sandy
attempt at a garden, and a very small
and nude boy, who was warming his
chubby brown body In the sunlight.
Ksdalle pulled up and questioned him:
. "Hey, "chokara!" Who are you? And
where Is the zemindar salib?"
The boy Jumped up and salaamed.
"I am the son of the watchman, pro
tector of the poor. I will tell my father
that your honor waits."
He pattered away to the back of the
house, whence appeared presently the
- father, arranging his turban In haste
as he scuflled forward. He was very
ragged and dirty, like most of a native
. gentleman's retainers.
"The zemindar sahib, Hazoor? He
has gone Ood knows whither. He went
away fifteen days since to Farukh
bad. It is believed. I do not know when
he will return; the comings and goings
of (he zemindar sahib are not known to
his servants. He goes away without
wurning and without . attendant is
. found to have departed when his serv
ant enters to awake him In the morn
ing nnd he Is absent for days, or
weeks, or months. His house stands
ready always for him, and he would
' he a brave man who would venture to
lift a finger to any of the zemindar
sahib's property. It Is believed that he
has the power of the evil eye. It Is cer
tainly true that he Is not as other men."
"Do-you know where one Jan Khan,
a soldier, lives?" said Ksdalle.
"Jan Khan sahib? I know the man
Je comes sometimes to see my master,
and to spend a week or so with him.
He was a famous man in the old war
time, they say, but he Is old now. No,
I do not know where he lives. I think
he has no fixed habitation, for he travels
much and visits many far-off cities."
"And Wazlr-ud-din, also a gray
beard ?"
"I do not know him." said the choki
dar. "But there are many men of the
name, Hazoor."
Which was true enough; and so there
was the end of the business. Ksdalle
rode slowly away, and all along the
dusty shishum-lined road, and through
the old town, with It sleepy oriental
MAX KAHX SAHIB? I KXOW THE
MAN."
look and its narrow winding bazars
and alleys, his thoughts ran hither and
thither seeking a clew. He inquired at
his police "thona" for further Infor
mation, but little was forthcoming.
Wajid All was a peaceful citizen,
and, as his servant had said, a man
who was held In much respect In the
neighborhood on account of his sup
posed knowledge of the powers of
magic, which might be accounted for
by the eccentricity of his frequent dis
appearances. When he was in Ktiin
iinga he lived the life of an ordinary
gentleman, and it was believed that
h!s absences were collected with spec
ulations in silver and in foreign mer
chandise, nothing more, Jun Khun
was said to be his agent.
For once, then. lCsdaile'a knowledge
was at fault. His Investigations led
always to blind alleys; nor, during
the months he was at Tlmli, did his
police officers forward him, as desired,
news of the return of Wajid All to
Kammiga. One thing, which might
have been coincidence, w.as neverthe
less noticeable. From what that event
ful night ouwurd the sleeplessness left
him, never to return. There was no
more necessity to hoodwink Mrs. Ks
dalle with forced cheerfulness or to
wander through the darkness for re
lief. It was as of those puffs of the old
man's hookah that had brought un
consciousness upon him had effected a
perinunent cure.
And was It a dream? Impossible;
or, if It were, the most vivid that ever
man was given. Heality? It must be.
And yet where was the proof? There
was nothing to be done but wait and
watch the signs of the times. And,
as the month:! went on, the hope of
any further clew grew dimmer and
dimmer, until It faded altogether.
Somewhere, It might be, Wajld All and
his immortal brethren, were working
secretly, like moles, for their chimer
ical empire, with the secret of thu
(iwalior treasure still locked securely
In their bosoms, I'erhaps they would
come to recognize the futility of it,
and India would be startled by the
benetlcencei of some suddenly-arisen
philanthropist, dispensing alms with
unheard-of niunllfcence. Perhaps in
the next upheaval they would come to
light and unfurl the banner of Islam to
rally men around them, Whatever
might happen, Ksdalle could only pic
ture them now watching from obscur
ity with eyes that had looked upon
so many generations of men and study
ing mankind by the light of a broader
experience than Is the common lot.
Strang? fate to be secured thus from
death, and to watch the rest of the
world buzz on to eternity around you!
Strange, and yet most mournful, to
have outgrown all the sweetnesses of
life, and yet live on, hugging, for want
of better, an empty shadowy Idea! And
yet, was it so empty? Well, time would
show. One thing was certain when
next the. Masters of the Art came to
the surface, were It near, or far In the
misty futurity, it would be, if knowl
edge and experience counted for any
thing, as powers among men,
THE END.
Tour to I'loridn.
No district in America presents, dur
ing the winter season, so many varied
attractions as the state of Florida. He
sides Its delightful climate, which to
one escaping from the cold and un
healthful changes of the north seems
almost ethereal. It Is pre-eminently a
land of sport and pleasure. Along its
eleven hundred miles of salt water
coast and in its twelve hundred fresh
water lakes are fish of almost every
conceivable varlety.from the migratory
tribes common to northern waters to
the tarpon, pompano. and others of a
more tropical character. Nowhere in
all our broad land can the angler find
a greater variety of game or better
sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hun
ter tinds satiety. Deer, turkeys, bears,
panthers and wild cats roam at large
through the more sparsely settled re
gions, while birds of all kinds may be
found in abundance throughout the
state. The more novel sport of alli
gator and manatee hunting may also
be Indulged in by the more adventur
ous tourist.
With its matchless climate. Its or
ange groves, its rivers and lakes, its
boating and bathing, Its Ashing and
hunting, and Its extensive forests, Flor
ida presents unrivaled attractions for
the valetudinarian, the lover of na
ture, the sportsman and the explorer.
To this attractive state the Pennsyl
vania Hailroad company has arranged
four personally conducted tours during
the season of 1KH7. leaving by special
train January 26, February 9 and ti.
and Madch 9. The flist three tours will
admit of a sojourn of two weeks in this
delightful land; tickets for the fourth
tour will be valid to return until May
31 by regular trains.
Rates, for the round trio. :) from
New York, $48 from Philadelphia, and
proportionate rati-a from other points.
