down at the base of the wall, and a
bullet sang viciously by Alec's head.
"I'll bet the Tiger did that" mutter-
ed Dan. He glanced to one side and
cried out In hoarse alarm. LOOK! look!
We're in for 1t now!"
Dams frightened exclamation had
been prompted by the discovery that
two men, who had started well in adj
vance of the others, were running along
the top of the wall. They were already
half way between the towers and the
spot where the fugitives stood.
Alec did not hesitate a second; at
once his mind grasped the single slim
chance OF escape that the situation Of

the noosed end and tossed IL to his

stood lookin' at him, an SEEM what a
splendid fine strong man he was, with
his shinin' eyes an the black hair wav-
in far down over his shoulders. An
he looked at her blue eyes an the rose
red lips that laughed whenever she be-
gan to think of anythin'; an. there was
no more rememberin' o. Princess
Maurya--no, nor o. the maids that
served her-for him.
Then Etain nodded her head, an
turned an went over the grass toward
the forest so swift that Dermond had
all his feet could do to keep pace with
her. There was no more apeakin' but
just followin', as she led the way over
grass hillocks an into the dark wood.
Twas more nor one time the roots

but on he went, not heedin'.

gave low whistle. He grasped the
rope and found it taut.
"Coming?" he whispered loudly.
Yes, I'm on the way" was the
audible response from the depths.
Dams progress was laboriously slow.
To the lad above, waiting and watch

swinging object grew visible against
the purplish gray surface of the
bricks. 1t advanced inch by inch with

Alec with terror.

strength, reached for Dams arm and
caught it, and with a desperate effort
pulled him to and over the parapet.

Alec scarcely heard the breathless,
inarticulate words, nor did he, for the
moment, pay any heed to the noise that
was ringing from the direction of the
nearest watch tower. The rope-the
precious rope-was all he thought of.
He seized hold of it, and felt a re-
