CHAPTER TX.

One evening, after having wandered oil
day among the rocks seeking passage
by which to descend to the Rhine, Peco-
pin arrived at the entrance of a wood Of
fir, ash and maple trees; he passed in.
After he had walked more than an hour
the road lost itself in a clearing over
grown with juniper, holly, and wild rasp-
berry bushes. Beyond the glade was a
marsh Exhausted by fatigue, dying OF
cottage or the fire OF a herdsmau, when
all at once flock OF tadornas
flew near him, Tapping their
wings and screeching. Pecopin
trembled on recognizing these strange
birds that make their nests under ground,
aud which the peasants call "duck-rab-
bits" lie pushed aside the holly bushes
and saw growing the sea iennel, gentian,
and hellebOre. As he stopped TO ascertain
better, a mussel shell, fallen on the sWard,
caught his eye. 1t was one of those inn
mense shells OF Vologne which contain
pearls as large as peas. He looked up; an
owl lowered over his head. Pecopin be
gan 10 be alarmed; the holly, the rasp-
berry bushes, the tad0rnas, the magic
herbs, the mussel, the owl We're not reas-
surfing. He asked himselfin agony where
he was, when song reached ms ear.
He listened 1t was a hoarse, broken
voice, sorr0wful and harsh. This was
the song:
"Mon petit lac engendre, en- rombre qul
rabrite,
La riante Amphitrte ct lie noir Neptunus;
Mon humble etang nourrit sur DIES monts IN
cOnnus
HEmpereur Neptunus ct la Refine Amphitrite,
JIG suis le main, grand pere dea geans
Ma gOutte d'eau prOduit deuX oceans.
"Je vorse de mes rocs que n'eflleure aucune
Tn neuve bleu pour ellie, un fieuve vert pour
lui,
Jepanche de ma grotte, GU jamais feu MA lui,
lie feuye vert pour lui lie Aeuve bleu pour ellie,

Je suis," etc, etc.
PecoDin could no longer doubt. Poor
wanderer, be was 10 the fatal wood Of the
Pas-Perdusl This wood is a forest OF
labyrinths where the dwarf RoulOn strolls
about. This dwarf lives in lake Of the
VosKes at the summit of "a mountain, and,
because be sends a stream to the Rhine
and another to the RhOne, he calls him
self the father of the Mediterranean and
the ocean. His delight is to lead the
passers-by astray. The traveller who en-
ters the wood OF the Pas-Perdus never
leaves 1t. The voice and song were the
voice and song OF the dwarf R0ulon. Pc
copln, lost, threw himself face downward,
upon the ground. "Alasw he cried, 'it
is oYerl ! shall never see BauldOurW
eyes you will" said voice near him.

CHATTER v

When man falls into an abyss ter
rl6le light breaks upon him, in which he
6eholds in second of time the life he is
leaving and the death that awaits him. In
this supreme moment Pecopin, lost, sent
his last thought to Bauldour and his hand
sought his heart; without knowing it he
touched the talisman of the Sultana.
Scarcely had his fingers fallen upon the
magic turquois than be left himself borne
up as by wings. He no longer Tell; he
Heated. He sailed along all night; at the
break Of day the invisible power that sus-
tanned him set him pown upon a lonely
shore on the edge of the sea.

The father of Pec0pin died soon after the

SURPRISED BY ARABS
The British Troops in Great Danger

The British Troops in Great Danger
over 1000 Arabs Killed.
While detachments of English and Indian
infantry were making a zareba seven miles
.outhwest of Suakim, they were suddenly
surprised by a rush Of Arabs, who had been
masscd and concealed in the deales west Of
Hasheen. Tie English formed a square
rs quickly as possible, but the
camels, mules and horses were
driven back in confusion on the. troops, caus-
ing a stampede, and amid clouds Of dust the
Arabs penetrated tho south and north sides
of tho square. Meantime the marines and
Berkshire regiment, which were on the east
and west sides of tho square, maintained aeon
tinuous fire, holding the enemy at bay while n
charge OF tho cavalry and fire
from tho guns at Hasfeen zareta
checked tho onslaught Of the
Arabs, which at tho onset threatened q seri-
GUS disaster to the British.
An estimate places the British killed Mt
ffty-two and wounded at eighty-five. Nearly
all the casualties are due to spear thrusts
received in hand to- band engagements.
The Arabs got between tho transport
train and zarrba. sprarel the men Of the
transport corps and killed the animals. They
fought savagely, refusing to give or take
quarter. General Mcneil, who was csln.
manding the zareba, reports that there were
several thousand rebels in the fight, and that
over 900 were killed or wounded. General
Mcneil is blamed for not taking precautions
against q surprise.
