There had been low sound at our little

was stretched into the lamplight. Some

This was all very we'll, but It seemed to
me as sat on great round cheese eat
ing my supper that this youngster was
thinking rather too much of his family
affairs and too little of the fine scrape into
which he had got me. After all. his father
had been dead fourteen years, and nothing

expedition OF this sort, as If it were not
enough to have quarter of million
Russians to fight against without plunging

'You may do what you like to him when

question rather Is what Is he going to do

his vliainy and against our own stupidity.
We rushed at the door together, beating 1t
with our fists, and kicking 1t with our
heavy boots. The sounds of our blows
and of our excavations must have resound-

villain, hurting at him every name which
might pierce even into his hardened SOUL
But the door was enormous-such a door
as one finds in medieval castles-made of
huge beams clamped together with irons

CHAPTER ".

''rhese ruffians have seized her. They
will kill her." cried.
Duroc sprang down with the inarticulate
shouts of one whose reason had left him.
He struck the door so fratically with his
naked hand that he left blotch of blood
with every blow.
Here is the key shouted picking one
from the floor. 'She must have thrown it
in at the instant that she was torn away"
My companion snatched it from me with
a Shrek of joy. A moment later he dashed
1t down on the boards. 1t was so small
that 1t was lost in the enormous lock. Du-
roc sank upon one of the boxes with his
head between his hands. He sobbed in his
despair. I could Have sobbed, too. when
thought of the woman and how helpless we
were to save her.
But am not so easily baff1ed. After all
this key must have been sent to US for a
purpose. The lady could not bring us that
of the door because this murderous STEP
father of hers would most certainly have
1t in his pocket. Yet this other key must
have meaning, or why should she risk
her life to place 1t in our hands? 1t would
say little for our wits If we could not find
out what that meaning might be.
l set to work moving all the cases out
from the wall. and Duroc, gaining new hope
from my energy, helped me with all his
strength. 1t was no light task, for many
of them were large and heavy On we
went, working like maniacs, singing bar
rels and cheeses and boxes pell-mell into
the middle Of the room. At last there only
remained one huge barrel of vodki, which
stood in the corner With our united
strength we rolled it out, and there was a
little, low wooden door in the wainscot be-
hind 1t. The key fitted and with a cry of
delight we saw 1t swing open before us.
With the lamp in my hand I squeezed my
way in, followed by my companion.
We were in the powder magazine of the
castle-a rough-walIed cellar, with barrels
all around it. and one with the top STAYED
in in the center. The powder from it lay
in a black heap on the floor. Beyond there
was another door. but it was locked.
