I and grant, as well, demand that had
long been made by the "opium ring, "
which would largely increase her own
revenue, but which would forever de-
stroy all progress in morality aud in
dividual liberty.
The Church Party were even now
wavering in their allegiance and al
most ready to break with the govern
ment. The Liberals were aghast at
the bold and audacious position taken
by the queen, and even her most VIC.
lent supporters could not face the ar
guments of Dole and others against
the preposterous scheme.
All this 1 learned from Uncle Tom
as we sat mournfuIly at The Corals,
after Winnie had disappeared.
''It is easy to understand" said my
uncle, how the pesky niggers believe
they will destroy all opposition to the
queen by resorting to violence and
crime. But mark me, Tom, my boy,
if harm comes of this-ifa hair of our
Winnie's head is hurt-I'll have it
out of the old she-devil if it takes nv
last dollar and my life as well. Now
you thoroughly appreciate the situa.
tion. Things are hot here now. The
strain is too great. Something's got
to happen pretty soon."
''Do you know enough of the habits
of the natives to guess where they
have taken Winnie?"
''There are dozen things they might
do. They are full of willy deceits and
unholy idolatry, and all the heather.
ish things you could imagine. Mo,
there's no telling what they might do.
We must keep on looking, that's all,
until we find her"
While we were speaking Gordon
came in, hot, weary and thoroughly
ugly.
"What hope? What have you
learned?' asked him eagerly.
Nothing" he replied savagely,
banging table with his sword. 'I'd
like to take the whole cussed lot of
the rascals into a ten-acre field and
shoot them. We have looked every
where that was possible. Not trace
can be found. And the worst of it is
the natives all seem to enjoy the thing.
1t is sort of triumph for the queens
party. But it won't be a triumph
long. I'll find Winnie if it takes not
only my life, but everybody's."
Igrasped 1 his hand.
"You are indeed friend, Gordon.
We will work together. We must find
her. We will hunt down the mysteri-
Gus fiends who abducted her, and slay
them"
"That we will," he said, grimly,
tapping his sword. 81 must go to the
palace now. Don't be surprised il
you hear that I have thrown the queen
out of the window"
