swinging sphere made him dizzy, and
he caught Branasko's arm to keep from
falling.
"How can we tell when we go over
the wall?" he asked anxiously.
"We shall have to guess at it," was
the answer. "At any rate, we must be
near the lower door SO as to get out
quickly if it is necessary to do go to es-
cape detection"
In tho darkness they slowly made
their way down the stairs to the great
room.
''There ought to be some way Of
making light" said the Alphian, and
his voice sounded loud and hollow in
the empty chamber. After several fail
ures to find the stairs they descended to
the door they had entered. Branasko
opened it q little, and breeze came in.
They sat down on the stone, and after
awhile in sheer fatigue they fell asleep.
Hours passed. Branasko rose with q
start and shook Johnston.
"Our speed is lesseningl" he ex.
claimed. "We must be going down. Be
ready to jump out the instant we stop.
There! Let me open the door wider"

sound, q colossal pillar fell to the earth.

dow overlooking the court, were six or
eight beautiful young women. They
were staring out into the darkness and
moaning and muttering low cries Of de-
spair.
"It is my fathers ladies'" calculated
the princess, ashast. "Ho would be an.
cry if he knew We had come here. No
ono but himself enters these apart

lovely and despairing face toward them
and camo forward and knelt at the feet
of Bernardino.
"Oh, save us, princessl' she cried.

ing the white brow Of the woman.
"The danger may soon pass. This por-
tion Of the palace is too strongly built
for them to injure it." Then she turn
ed to Thorndyke: 1--WE must hasten on
and find our way down. 1t would never
do for US to be seen here" Then she
turned to the kneeling woman and said
gently: II hope you will say nothing
to the king Of this. We lost our way in
trying to get down from the roof. "
II will not" gladly promised the
woman, and seeing that Bernardino
knew not which way to turn she guided

balconies, they met the denser darkness
Of tho outside and the deafening ciang
and olamor Of the multitude. There was
no light Of any kind, and Thorndyke
and his charge had to press close against
the balustrade Of the balcony to keep
from being crushed by the mad torrent
of humanity.
Now and then stridont voice would

The trumpet in the tower sounded

"It is my father trying to attract
