CHAPTER Nv.

George Malcolm infinitely followed
the directions. When he had mentally
pronounced each number from one to
twenty, lie united the silken bandage,
and looked about him with curiosity
by no; means unnatural.
He found himself in room very sim
larin shape, size and furnishing to the
boudoir. which had been previously de-
scribed. The rays Of light, which fell
through dome of cut glass Of opaline
tints, spread through the apartment a
dreamy, twilight atmosphere. Heavy
portieres of Chinese satins, embroid-
cred with fabulous birds and impossi-
BILE flowers. concealed any opening.
George Malcolm seated himself, or;
rather. let himself fall, upon the large
circular divan. His head was on fire
his heart beat to suffocation. He
waited in feverish Impotence, each
second lengthening itself into an hour.
But long to him as the waiting au-
peared. in reality it was short.
One of the portieres Slid back upon
the crystal rings which held it, and a
radiant vision appeared before the
young mans charmed and daZzled eyes.
1t was the mysterious woman whose
Intoxicating memory had haunted the
young Englishman since the night he
had taken refuge in the ruined temple.
A tunic of muslin shot with silwer;-r re-
vealed the beauty of her form. Her
hair, unbound, floated about her like a
veil, and rippled even to her feet. Her
great eyes sparkled through the mask.
George sprung up Mt her entrance,
and knelt to kiss her hands, stainmer-
| ing in ecstasy:
s'And this is not dream! You ex-
list. madames You have wished again
to see me?"

Rising from his cushions, Sir George
approached the opening which led into
the ruins, and, installing the clear
light of the moon for the first rays OF
the sun, he said:

''Since yesterday! repeated the En-

"Twenty-four hours have passed,

KaZils accent was so convincing. his

Euglisiman felt his last doubt vanish
as to- the uIreaIity of all that had be-
fallen him.
."Then I have dreamed, indeed he
said, and recounted to them all his
dream.
At its end he turned toward Kazil.
ssHave you ever known before so sin
gular an experience?" he asked him.

swered the child. "It is quite COM
mon phenomena to Europeans recently
arrived in our country"
Not being able to argue the question,
Sir George accepted the affirmation
without challenge. Then, leading the
way toward the palanquin, around
which the bearers watched with in
finite patience, they took up their
alomeward route.
For a time Sir George was thought
ful and quiet; but suddenly he called
Kazil to him.
ssYou have told me my father saved
your LIE. How was it?'

CHAPTER, Y.

It had been agreed between George
Malcolm: and his mysterious guide that
each evening at 10 o'clock he should
walk through the garden of the bunga-
low. If the boot of an owl should be

Yet Malcolm was not in love. AS Sir
John had said, one cannot love. a. wo-
man whose face is hidden! Yet she ex-
erclsed over him an Irresistible attrac-
ttcn, a magnetic fascination. His
thought was ever with her.
At the memory Of the perfume& odor
of her hair lie signed. A TERRIBLE mel
ancholy assailed him when the thought
passed through his mind that perhaps
one day the signal so passiunately
looked for would not sound.
Sometimes he recalled his fathers
words Concerning Agnes Burtell, and.
as his nature was honesl and loyal. he
would murmur:
II DO wrong. Soon my father will
present to me, as my ffancee, this love,
ly and pure child, and, in place of PIE.

George Malcolm approached the beau
tiful unknown. Again he clasped in
his her hands, then bent and kissed
them.
From such a dream he prayed no
Weakening might rudely visit him.
1t was midnight in the vaulted cham
her Of the temple. Stop still SUM-
bered; Kazil still watched. The storm
had long passed over; the heavens, I'M
secured by clouds, shone with myri-
ad fires; the radiant moon, showing it's
disc of silver above the zenith, inun-
dated the ruins with Il clear, white
tight
Kazil suddenly made an abrupt
movement and rose. The cry of the
alone could distinguish as emanating
from human lips-was again heard;
but this time not without, but from the
subterranean passages below.
"It is they" murmured the child.
S'What am | about to learn? The son
of the man to whom owe my life is in
their terrible hands. Notwithstanding
Saugor's pledge, 1 am afraid. What
have they done with George Malcolm?"
In breathless expectation he waited
but his anxiety was short. In very
few minutes the movable flag was
again displaced and Saugor appeared,
carrying in his arms the Englshman,
wrapped in deepest slumber.
KaziPs face brightened; Il flash Of
Joy shone in his black eyes; Il sigh es
capped his lips.
Saugor laid Malcolm among the cush-
IONS Motioning toward the valet, he
asked:
"He has not moved since yester-
.dayw
The boy made negative sign.
-''It is WELL Saugor replied.
And, drawing Il flask from his breast,
like that used by the beautiful masque
in the mysterious palace, he held it
successfully to the nostrils of Stop and
his young master. Then, returning to
Kazil, he said:
SIN a minute both will awaken"
<'And if they question me, what shall
I reply?"
"You have seen nothing; you know
nothing. except that their slumber has
lasted long"
II will obey"
"Doubtless. The sons of Bowhanie

At this moment Sir George and Stop
made a simultaneous movement.
Saugor disappeared through the aper-
ture. which became once more the SOL
id 1loor.
Four or five seconds later, the mas
ter and valet, in the same moment,
opened their eyes. Sir Georges first
look questioned the walls. He recog-
nized the sombre cupola, the wierl bas
reliefs of the temple. and limitless
establishment was depicted upon his
features.
"Alasr he murmured. in tone of
bitter disappointment. sit is too true.

directly contrary to the ruling Of At
torney General Fitzgerald. and it is con-
tended that one of the appointments
must be wrong; if the Governor has the
right to fill vacancies before they occur,
Ivory is entitled to the position now held
by Fitzgerald. and if he has not, then
Ray has no right to the directorate. 1t is
given as the opinion of a politician
familiar with the facts that the Attorney
Generals opinion will stand the test Of
law and that Ray is the marked man.
1t is known that Warden Hale, despite
the continual illness with which he has
been afflicted. is DESTROYS of retaining his
position. According to the same author
ity, he is marked for slaughter. Cap
tain Edgar, who is wealthy man, has
expressed himself as tired of the onerous
duties of captain of the yard and will
soon retire to a life of ease and quiet
The warden and Captain Edgar, it Is as
serted, have never worshiped each other
since the strike of two years ago. at
which time they quarreled over a cues
ton of policy as regards subduing unruly
prisoners.
1t is further declared that in all prob
ability Captain Birlem's services will be
dispensed with at the time of the ex-
pected upheaval in order to make room
for another whose claim is stronger This
means that the entire force of petty Of
fcers and. guards will receive an over
hauling. A premonition of the changes
scheduled has already caused a feeling Of
disquiet at the prison.

Contention That Either Director Ray or
Fitzgerald Holds Office lie
gally.
Governor Budd Follows Precedent Condemned
by the Attorney General Hale and
BirIem on the List.

\ CCORDING to the seers Of the Re
~ publican party, San Quentin Prison
n will witness a lightning change act
in the heads of departments about
the LIST day of next April. The staff of
gubernatorial advisers has for some time
done deal of thinking and planning in
order to be better represented on the
Board of Directors, and it is now decided
that an irregularity of appointment will
permit Democrat to be replaced by a
Republican. This bolt will fall on either
President Fitzgerald or Director Ray.
The law, on the subject is that the Gov
ernor shall appoint Directors as vacancies
occur. :. In 1892 Governor Markham APP
pointed Mark D. Ivory to succeed Charles
Sonntag about eighteen months before
the latter's term expired. When Cover
nor Budd came into office he submitted
the question of the legality of this pro-
cedure to Attorney General Fitzgerald,
who furnished a written opinion that the
Governor could appoint a Director only
at the close of term when an actual
vacancy existed. On the strength of this
opinion Budd disregarded Markham's ap-
pointment, and in turn appointed r. M
Fitzgerald of Oakland to the position
In 1897 Budd appointed Donald Ray of
Gait to succeed K. j. DePue nearly a year
before DePues term expired. This was
