ronks wife secured her pot; ana now
che headed the procession that marched
o ~ at the bidding OF the princess.
The Indians were out OF sight IN Few
minutes. and then Dlnah's manner
changed like magic.
eD The trappings Of the priestess had
answered her purpose, SO she threw
them of, and going to the vault, she
s sai, the fiat stone that answered for
\ door, and rushed In.
I,ntiiia was close behind her. The
LIGHT was dim, as compared with tie
risrjnr sunlight without, but was still
Sufficient to enable them to distinguish

We must get i'm out, honey" said
Dinah. aTink ye kin lift de half?"
Yes. Dinah; II need be. can carry
him alone" replied Untilla.
Lpe seized the head of the bed and
the other the foot, and in few minutes
thew had carried Ralph Denham from
the vault and placed him In the shadow
OF tree.
with amazing quickness, the old
woman drew the cover from his face.
Except that it had flushed, panied ex-
preston, as Of one trying to break q
bond by tense physical effort, or to
rally falling memory by an effort OF will,
it looked very natural.
Dinah was now all activity. She tore
open his coat and underclothing, till his
white breast was exposed, and against
this she pressed the side Of her face,
increasing its blackness by the strange
contrast.
She remained in this attitude so long
that Untilla, unable to suppress her
anxiety, called out:
'Dinah, Dinah! tell me II he will
live."
He pears strong, but he's droogid.
Ha, knowed he was droogid, or dead.
and he II live, Dinah?"
Untilla was beside him. chatting the
strong hand, which the sun had bronzed
| to hue much darker than her own.
Well fotch i'm to. Doan't skeer,
1pney. DR.. Hedges he seq Dinah' q
ham; now you see wat Dinah know"
The old woman removed the white
turban from about her head, and hand
ing it to Untilla. told her to wet il
at neighboring spring, and then fasten
1t about the captains brow.
While Untilla was doing this. Dinah
took off Ralph's shoes and stockings,
and running back to the fire, took there
from the pot of herbs.
Tearing off part of her dress. just as
II she carried it for surgical purposes,
Dinah took the herbs, now steamine
hot, and bound them about the captain E
feet.
He moved as II the heat gave him
pain, and he heaved a long sigh.
Dipping one OF the unused herbs in
the liquor in the pot, Dinah skillfully
pressed open the Captains mouth anc
teeth, and, by means Of the moisteneC
aerb, slowly dropped several spoonfuls
OF the liquor into his mouth.
10 her great Joy, she saw by the
movements Of his throat that he was
swallowing, and that with each effor,
Inc panied, intense expression on his
lace gave way to one OF peaceful rest.
They kept UP their efforts for an hour
when Dinah said:
Now let him rest wile."
And then you think he will be bet
