Pardoned by an Elephant Burmese Princess Condemned to Death by King's Decree For Loving a Water Carrier Is Saved by the Clemency of the Royal Executioner. Ordinary modes of execution are con sidered too plebeian for Burmese roy alty, so when a niece of King Thee baw offended him by eloping with a handsome young water carrier attach ed to the palace she was condemned to die by the feet of the royal execu tioner, a monster elephant kept and trained for th:> purpose. The girl was captured and brought back, but the youth, considering discretion the bet ter part of vaior, made good his es cape and left his sweetheart to the tender mercies of her enraged rela tives. On the morning appointed for the execution and long before dawn a steady stream of people began to flow in from the surrounding country to the compound where it was to take place. Many of them had come from long distances and camped overnight on the road so as to be early on the spot, for it is not often that a member of the kiug's family is publicly put to death. Laughing* chattering, nibbling an early breakfast of fruit or cakes bought on the way, the eager, pushing, as she walked, and she gave no sign of fear, but looked composedly about her while she stood waiting the arrival of the king, whose appearance would be the signal for her execution. Many pitying glances were directed toward her as her romantic story passed from lip to lip. Only one white man was present?the American captain of one of the British steamers plying the Ir rawaddy?and he was there by special invitation from Theebaw, with whom he was quite a favorite. After a long wait, which tried every - hody's patience, the king appeared, walking under a green umbrella. The girl's ankles were then tied, firmly to gether and her arms pinioned tightly to her sides, and she was stretched face down on the path. The gate at the end of the compound was thrown open at the blast of a trumpet, and the royal executioner came out, a huge beast, whose massive feet had crushed out more than one life. He had not yet been to water and lumbered rapidly across the inclosure, eager for his morning drink and bath. Every voice 7/ THE ROYAL EXECUTIONER. jostling crowd hurried along, seeking points of vantage from which they could get a good view of the execution. The compound wa3 covered with a rank growth of tall grass except for a path leading straight through it from the king's stables to the river. This patch had been beaten hard by the feet of the elephants passing to and fro every day to water. Space was re served on each side of the path for the king, members of the royal house hold and the palace guards, and back of the soldiers Theebaw's loyal sub jects could stand where they liked. The princess?she was sixteen years old?was brought out between two stal wart soldiers, with Prince Singh, her brother, walking close to her, whisper ing consolation. Her hands were bound behind her back, and she wore an em broidered robe of pale yellow silk, with little high heeled French slippers on her feet The bangles on her arms and the chains about her neck tinkled musically A HUGE BEAST, CAME OUT. was hushed, every ey? was riveted on the motionless form lying in his path and every face set in tense expectancy. Then a strange thing happened. The elephant halted, lowered his trunk, touched the rumpled heap of yellow silk delicately witli its sensitive tip and, stepping carefully over the pros trate princess, continued on his way to the river, while a wild chorus of de lighted shouts and yells broke out be hind him. He had refused to sanction the king's decree, and from the royal elephant's decision there can be no ap peal in Burma, so amid great rejoicing the girl was lifted to her feet and led back to the palace until some other punishment could be found to fit ncr case. Later she escaped, fled to the British steamer lying at the wharf and was concealed by the American cap tain, who carried her down the river, where she was met by her lover, and the pair were finally smuggled out of Burma by sympathizing friends.
