herself steady, but her horse noticed
not the guiding of her hand. The lead
er of the party rode in advance; then
followed two more of the gang; then
came two females; and behind them
followed the others, with the slaves
under charge. Through the wood they
rode at an easy pace. and when they
had gained the open plain beyond they
struck into a swift gallop. Ulin had
discovered to her satisfaction that the
strange horse paid no attention to the
rein, so she only sought to keep an
easy seat. She was weak with fear
and alarm, and all sorts of dreadful
pictures arose to her imagination as
she sped on. She could not speak with
Abba, for the Gathering of hoofs
drowned her voice. What did it
mean? Where would it end?
On they sped, straight over the plain
on, on, on-without halting or turn
ing-on through the darkness of the
night-on, league after league-until
the gray streaks of morning appeared
in the eastern horizon. Another wood
was before them, and when it was
reached, the party stopped. Not far
distant, where a clump of noble palms
reared aloft their plated foliage, a
crystal spring burst forth from the
green earth, and the Arabs held their
painting horses back from the tempting
beverage
Now, lady, you may find repose, "
said the leader as he came and lifted
Ulin from her seat. 1--WE shall re-
main here few hours. T will be with
you again presently"
He turned and handed Abba to the
ground, and then went to where his
followers were taking care of Shubal,

Nigeria is an important region in

British sphere with the exception of
the colony and the Protectorate of
Lagos, within the lines of demarca-

agreements of 1885, 1886 and 1898, and
the Anglo-French agreements of 1889,
1890, and 1898. The region covers be-
tween 100000 and 100000 square miles,
and it's population is variously esti-
mated at from 25,OO0,0OO to 10000, 900,
but in the absence of any census, no
reliance can be placed on such esti-
mates. 1t is certain, however, that a

CHAPTER XIV.
The Arabs Purpose.


AS Ulin sat upon the greensward,
with her back against palm tree,
| and one hand resting upon Abba S
arm, she could take a clear view of her
captors. The sun was just tinging the
distant mountain tops with it's golden
light, and the last shadow of the night
had gone. The Arabs had watered the
horses and left them where they could
crop the green grass, and were now
gathered together, listening to the
words of their chief.
They were rough, dark looking men,
these Arabs. Their clothing was
sparse and poor, and their skin swart
and dirty; but their weapons were
bright and keen and their horses in
most perfect condition, both as to
health and cleanliness. A little while
they conversed together, and then one
of them brought forth the bundle
which had been taken from Shubal. 1t
was opened by the leader, and the ar
ticles of clothing which it contained
were spread out upon the ground.

purse, from which fell score or
more of broad gold pieces; whereupon
the marauders gave utterance to vari-
Gus exclamations of satisfaction.
"They are robbers said Ulin, as
she saw them dividing the gold.
Certainly" responded Abba. "I
have suspected that from the first"
Can they belong to Julian's band?"

Julian would never have such men

AS she Spoke, the Arab leader came
towards them, and after gazing upon
them for a few moments, he said, ad-
dressing the princess:

worse for this little deviation from
your original course; for. let me as

tells the story best in his own way.
The pitiful yearning tof this great
child of the west for the "high coun-

forests, is disclosed with the keen
sympathies of one who had passed
much time in trailing, and who knows
the beauty of the life; as note the

eloquent words that characterize all

held IN foreible language the right Of
any man to work at any labor with

with assaulting James Kelly, another

The defendants attorney pleaded with
the court that fnasmuch as his client al

had suffered as much as Kelly from the
fight, he should not be punished any
more

you think" returned Judge Holdom.
The assault and battery is not SO Sc

ctple at stake-the principle OF the per-

stitutiOn. When Kelly was at work on
a contract with which he was satisfied
the president Of the United States nor
any official nor individual has a right to
interfere with him. True Kelly was a
member of the union as was Hill He
had right to be. and it was his duty
to obey the rules Of the union
When he refused, however, the union
had its redress in dfsciplining him and
expelling him. 1t had no right to send
a committee to interfere with him and
assault him.

ciples of our liberty We in America
