they won't dare to molest US.
With that he set Off and -Carruthers fol-
lowed. AT intervals, as they rapidly trod
the paved avenue, the mournful rasping
sounds rang out from various quarters.
And when they We're more than half way

snariing key, drew closer. Scurrying feet
were heard in the weeds behind and to

the thickets.

night; they had buried the two soldiers,
and left the dead dacoits where they had
fallen. In the morning Quin found his ten
Rurmans beyond the town, and after Sc
we're rebuke he pardoned their cowardice.
About noon the rest of his Burmans ar
rived from Mogok with the camp luggage
and animals. An hour later Captain Je-
rome's force, with the prisoners, started
for the mines; they took with them the
treasure found in the temple, which, of
course. was crown property. 1t may be
said that they found the rubies ell right

were subsequently conveyed to Mandalay.

punished.
Quin and his party remained for a fort
night at Pagan. and part of the time he
devoted to thorough exploration of that
interesting town of the past. And when
he finally went on to the Irrawaddy, where
he had arranged for barge to meet him,
his collection of animals was increased by

Even Quin and Carruthers, stout-hearted
though they were, experienced a sudden
chilling of their spirits when they found
themselves within the precincts of the
loag-dest rted city. They pushed On for
several hundred yards, keeping a watchful
eye on the Burmahs through what had
oice been street Now it was overgrown
with grass and reeds, young timber and
dense vegetation. Right and left, where
the moonbeams Strayed, the crunnbling
ruins loonned white and ghostly.
Look Carruthers whispered. 7excitedly,
a moment later.
In front stretched sort of an avenue, six
yards wide. 1t was paved with immense
s.abs of stone, which except for tufts of
grass in The crevices, had so far defied the
ravages of the jungle. On each side, where
the thick vegetation began, was an even
row of tall, massive-girth trees. And at
the far end perhaps half a mile distant, d
graceful, architectural mass was stamped
against the moonlit sky.
It's a great pagoda or temple said
Quin: ard this was the approach to it.

rant"
They had advanced only few feet when
a shrfn. quavering cry, coming from some
point ahead, broke the silence of the night.
The Burmans were already bordering on
panic, and they took the sound for su-
pernatural omen. With husky .yells, in
state Of helpless terror they turned and
fled. Quin shouted to them to stop,
stormed and threatened, but in vain. They
continued their mad flight, running like
deer toward the place where they had en-
tered the city, and soon the last man had
vanished in the underground.
The cowards?' exclaimed Quin. 'Wait
till l go back. tn teach them a lesson
they won't forget in a hurry"
You're not going after them now?'
asked Carruthers.

In less than half an hour all was ready.
Quin and Carruthers, at the head of their
little band, marched out of the valley,
turned southwest and took up the jungle
trail recently trodden by Sergeant Ward
and his party. The purpose of the expedi-

who were in high spirits, and seemed to
rejoice at the prospect of a brush with
