Kathlyn Hare believes her father,
Col. Hare to be in dire pcril_in Allah g principality of India. The King nl Allah has recently dillll. -and because the colonel had once saved his iile he names him as his successor. Urrhall- wh, pmt-ender to the throne of Allah, loves Kathlyn and has .forged u message summoning hcr to her fatb- er, whom he has thrown into prison. She loaves her home in California. to go to him. ._
On hcr arrival in Allah she is in- formed by Umballah that her futher in dead and that she is the queen. An elaborate durbnr ls arranged, the central figure of which is Klatblyn, protesting and grlof stricken. When the crow'n is placed upon her head Umhallsh announces that she is to he married to him forthwith. Her re- fnspl infurlates him, but ns l\`athlyn’s heauty and spirit have made n strong nppcal to the people he yields the joint for the time being. A priest an- nounces that no woman nnay rule un- married with the laws of the state she will be given leven days to .
cide.

piration of the week Of grace, her re< (paul 1,0 marry Uinbullab she receives scu-fence from the supreme tribunal that she is to undergo two ordeals with wffld beasts. If she survives, she is to be permitted to rule without hindrance. Through the pluck and rcsourccfu'»-

With Bruce she flees ,(romvAlluh. 'The elephant which carries her becomes fri'g'htencd and runs away, separating her from Bruce and the rest ol the party. After a ride filled with peril she
takes refuge; in n ruined temple. _The holy men and villagers, beliovim; her to be nn ancient priestess_riscn from the tomb, allow her to remain ,ns the guardian ' of the sacred fire. But Knthlyn’s havcn is also the abode oi n lion, -and she is forced to ily from it with the savage beast in pursuit. he escapes and finds a retreat in the jungle, only to fall into the Luinds of 5, hand of slave traders, who bring her to Allah to the lilllllifl mart. She is sold to llmbiillali. ,Wl10. finding her still submissive, tliruws her into the dungeon with her f=\i-hci

When Kathlyn returned to the com-

They had paused at what appeared to be a well, and with them was the sacred elephant. llnla Khan was for giving orders at once to set out with his racing camels to catch and cru- clfy every mother's son of tlwm 00 the city walls. But llumabai inter- posed. “As I came toward the _comlwllnd lwss given a mes\wB°» lllll l“”“ who gave it to me wus gone before I enum get n good look at his face.

Bruce also shook his head. “lt

“They would be suspicious ut

".\iiywliei‘c,” said the colonel.
"But they will simply make us 1\:'iso|\ers along with the elephant.
"_-\h, but the Uolonel Sahib for-

"lt’s a good plan," said Bala
Khmr, when the conversation was fully translated to him. “And once the elephant is back in the coni- pound 1'll send ii dozen incn back fur the rogues. Ah! they will play with me; they will steal into my town, overcome my guards, take the apple of my eye! Ilanuibai, thou art a friend indeed. llnste and Allah rend for thee! l mballnh may arrive with :ui army, but hc shall not enter my crates." '

els, the party started off on n wide eirelo, Whether they caught the bri- gnmls at the well or on the way to their mountain liuvncs WHS Of H0 great importance, Ifnuiubai - was quite certain that the result would bc the same. 'l‘he colonel grunibled a good deal. Supposing the rascals did not smoke; what then?

The chief thought quickly. If his
