parties have gone into the new country
to ascertain the truth for themselves.
Rich placer ground has been known in
parts of the Yaqui country for many.
but the white prospectors have been
forbidden to enter the lands of the hos

been made in which the gold fields
there are thrown open to the operations
of the whites, and following the an
nouncement of the successful negotia-

big strike. The Yaqui has many

CHAPTER XII.
A DARING ACT


Captain Daroman wheeled like a
fash, an ugly expression ON his faces
''You mutinous dog" he shouted.
beginning already, are you? I'll make
an example of you for the benefit of the
others" He turned toward the soldiers,
apparently ON the point Of giving some
orders, while Platoff S face flushed Grim
son and his hands quivered nervously.
However, Captain Daroman suddenly
changed his mind, and he turned once
more to Platoff, with grim smile how
ering ON his lips.
So you wish to know why you are
here, do you? So this place is not good
enough for you? You'll find out before
you get through, let me tell you.
What's your name? can readily guess,
though. You are Platoff, the revolution
list. Stand to one side there and let your
two friends come forward too. Birds OF
feather must flock together.
Maurice and Phil timidly advanced n
few PAGES from the throng, and the
commandment surveyed them with low
ering aspect.
"What are your names?" he asked
fiercely.
Maurice hesitated. To proclaim him
self under the false title by which he
had been arrested would be a tacit ac-
/ acknowledgement of the name, while to
tell the truth would undoubtedly cause
serious trouble and excite Captain Oar
oman's wrath TO its fullest extent.
At this critical moment Platoff came
to the rescue.
"Their names are Cunningham and
Burton" he said respectfully. "They
are but little acquainted with the Rus
sian tongue. -,-,---r''
Maurice attempted to utter feeble
protest but glance from Platoff ST.
fenced him. The commandment scanned
the paper he held in his hand
"Platoff, Cunningham, Burton" he
muttered under his breath Then, look
ing up keenly, he said: And so you
think it is strange that you were not
taken TO the political prisonf Have you
forgotten Irkutsk Oh tie night of the
22d of September? Have you forgotten
the riot, the slaughtered soldiers, the

What are your ndmGS7" he asked fercCly.
attack OH the czar's storehouse? Did
you think to escape the penalty of those
misdeeds? Justice does not sleep in
Russia. You were tried and convicted
without your knowledge. Sentence was
given-you say you did not know it?
Very well, have the decree of SEN
know that you are condemned to work
out your time at hard labor in the mines
instead of idling in political prison.
In me you will have no lenient task
master. shall exact the fullest obedi-
ence l know how to deal with fellows
like you. Now go and be prepared in
the morning to handle your picks in
the czar's gold mines.
Captain Daroman turned hauPhtily
away, and the crowd pressed forward,
dragging Maurice and his companions
with them.
Dazed by what they had just heard,
they dropped mechanically on the wood
en- platform.
1t was difficult at first to realize the
full import of Captain Daroman' s worGs
The truth dawned ON them gradual
", and their own fate was brought
more wildly to mind by the arrival of
a convict party from the mines, q bag
gard group of men, soaked to the skin,
who entered with clanking of chains
between a file of soldiers.
Toll and sleep, ever the same, without
rest or change-such is life at the
mines of Kara
Platoff first fell into paroxysm Of
anger, but it presently passed off, al d
he went calmly to sleep, an example
which the boys, through sheer weari-
ness, were forced TO initiate.
Maurice awoke first. A faint streak
of gray was shining through the dirty
window, and as he sat up rubbing h.i
eyes drum began to beat, and the con-
victs around him left their hard beds
without an instant's hesitation.
Come" said Platoff, seizing Mau
rice by the shoulder; delay will insure
a speedy punishment.
Phil was up by this time, and they
Joined the crowd, who were pressing
forward toward the door. A Cossaek
officer stood at the entrance, book in
hand, and at once proceeded with the
morning verifcation. The men answer
ed to their names as they were called
out and then scattered through the
room.

There is more catarrh in this sec

pronounced it local disease and pre-

stantly falling to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.

constitutional disease and therefore

They had been living apart since the be-
