Never did priest become warrior more speedily than Ahmed Ullah when that warning shout rang out, and he discovered that a British officer was riding at top speed through the quiet bazaar. As- suming that this unexpected appari- tion betokened the arrival of a puni- tive detachment, he uttered a loud cry, leaped to the gates of the courtyard and CIOSed them- Malcolm, of course, saw him and regarded his action as that of a frigh- tened man, who would be only too glad when he could resume his devo- tions in peace. Ahmed Ullah, soon to become a claimant of sovereign power as “King of Hindustan," was not a likely person to let a prize slip through , his fingers thus easily. Keeping up an ululating clamor of commands, he ran to the roof of the dwelling, snatch- ed up a musket and took steady aim. By this time Malcolm was beyond the gate and thought himself safe. Then; he saw a rope drawn breast-high across the narrow street, and gesticu- lating natives, variously armed, lean- ing over the parapets on either hand. ‘He had to decide in the twinkling of an ’éYe whether to go on or turn back. Probably his retreat would be out off. by some similar device, so the bolder expedient of an advance offered the better chance.

See that I am obeyed!’ The moulvie said no word. He went back to his praying mat and bent again toward the west, where the Holy Kaaba enshrines the ruby sent down from heaven. But though his lips muttered the rubric of the Koran, his heart whispered other things, and chief among them was the vow that ere many days be passed he would so icontrive affairs that no woman’s Iwhim should thwart his judgment. 5 So the clouded day broke sullenly, ‘wmi gusts or warm rain and red ‘gleams of a sun striving to disperse Ethe mists.

THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE. Text, “Every one that committeth sin 15 the bond servant of sin.”â€"(R. V.) John Ever visit a prison? Gray stone, iron 3:," bars. locks and keys; hard faced, cat ac: footed guards; pallid faced, leaden J heeled prisoners; silence, labor, ever oe . Le and always a deadening sense of re- 18,, straint. The dungeon, the “chamber Min of horrors,” the lock step, the striped l suits, the shaved heads, the averted 1m faces, the ever present consumptive 1L cough, were .just the surface things 1 ' your eye and ear caught. You murâ€" a U mured, “The way of the transgressor is 1 ' hard.” But those things told nothing , of the real horrors of that house of ‘ bondageâ€"tears, remorse, bitterness, de- M Espair. Prison walls tell no tales. In- 10 1spections and investigations mean ex- ,u‘ ternal things only. The life and soul ' grow smaller and smaller. The prison’s H a cemetery; the cell‘s a grave. A trifle is remembered for weeks. The coming 5 of a new man, time up for another, a death by tuberculosis, another by sui- ! cide, execution day with its suppressed excitement, are red letter days in the Icalendar of stone. When the “bit” is served and once more the thin haired, low voiced, paste faced, furtive eyed creature goes forth he will be a marked man. Police, detective and plain clothes man will “shadow” him. He’s a “jail- bird,” he’s “done time,” has “a record,” he will be “pinched" on suspicion, he will be bounded and harassed until man handled and driven he is back in the cell. Say, when you came out from your visit you took a great big breath of fresh air and thanked God for free- dom, didn‘t you? Well you might. One of the darkest and most pathetic sto- ries ever writ in heart’s blood is that of our brother in the house of bondage. The Slave Driver’s Whip. But, listen. friend! These hundred . thousand, more )1' less of the caught l and uncaught are only a few. We‘re all bond servants of sinâ€"veritable l slaves in the devil's prison house. I l Bondage of bad habits, temper. appeâ€" 1 tite. lust and greed. We‘re ofren chained to them. Paul said, ”Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" Iinow this figure? Man chained to the dead. rotting. stench- fvl body of his victim. Eat, drink, or sleep, the si<:-kening carcass is there. Whose sins is compelled to bear its consequence. Notice the drink slave. See his master drive him out of bed at 23 o'clock in the morning, walk the streets in a blinding snow- storm. waiting for the corner saloon to open. The appetite cracks the whip. and he tramples over home and wife. and child to answer his master. He must obey. He is a slave! See 5'. him as an unholy passion leads him 6 to the gates of perdition. Hat down over eyes he skulks through the red light district. The tiger's in his veins. For the woman with the scarlet kimona he forsakes respectâ€" ability. manhood. honor. He‘s a slave! The conductor taps another on the shoulder. “Fare, please.” “I paid you when I got on.” Conductor glances at the fare register. He knows he didn't. but what‘s the use arguing? He laughs when the mer- chant makes mistake in change or when he holds the hard pushed seller to an evident slip 0.! tongue or pen. He’s sly, deceitful. tricky. supremely selfish. Greed‘s got him! His heart‘s freezing. niSHOllPS dead. But all sin’s servitude. No jailer’s so cruel and merciless. Sin is tire in the blood. Scorpion’s sting in every nerve cell and fiber ‘!
