("Two.bits," an old racer, was in his
day the fastest and longest.wlnded
horse in Arizona. He belonged at the
time to Lieutenant Charles Curtis

Whipple, A. T. The episode is true,

One day the booming Of heavy guns

AS matter of form he requested per-
mission to communicate with the Amer
lean consul. and 1t was granted. But
Darrell was not so simple as to suppose
that his letter would be delivered He
realized fully that he was in n trap,
though he could not understand the
precise object of the proceedings.
Doubtless his arrest was connected
with the affairs of Vera Shevaloff. He
might be seriously suspected of com
plicity in her designs, whatever they
were, and he smiled grimly in his cell
ut the thought of his own complete ig-
nOrance of the matter. 1t would have
been hard for the governor generals
secret police to find man who knew
less, though they had searched the city
for the most innocent within its limits.
Rejecting upon the problem during
n long and tedious evening. Darrell was
of the opinion that he had been arrest
ed as a mere precaution and would be
held until the affair had been thorough
ly sifted; that Vera was also a prisoner
in the city, her plots more or less fully
known, her liberty and indeed her life
mt the mercy of the governor general.
The thought of his own present help
lessness weighed upon him like lead,
and many n vow of vengeance he made

that name, he had treated Darrell with
sternncss that forbade any attempt
at conversation, but they were brought
into more friendly relations by singu-
l0f happening.
One evening, when Darrell was watch
Ing through his window the evolutions
of an unusually large force upon the
esplanade, he was astounded to per-
ceive Ivan Getchikoff mounted upon a
horse and wearing the uniform Of a
brigadier Evidently the rascal had
enjoyed recent promotion. Surrounded
by his staff, he took up position with
In fifty years Of Darrells window, and
the troops passed before him in review.
With no clear notion of the useful
ness of the proceeding, but desiring to
make his presence known to Getchi-
koff, Darrell repeated that imitation Of
the flute which had so surprised Lad
islov in the Partisan cafe. The sharp
sound reached Getchikoffs ears, and
he recognized it. Darrell had the sat
isfaction of witnessing the nervousness
of his enemy, and he was piping Justify
when he heard the creaking OF the door
behind him. He snatched the big pen

fore they reached it a force of Cir
cassians surged out Of the street open
ing on the esplanade, and a dozen or
more of them fred a ragged volley, but
the shots We're all high.
Darrell halted instantly, facing this
little force, his hands flung up. His
first glance centered upon their officer,
rotund fellow, Enthusiastically Ger
man. Darrell was naturally unac-
quainted with the uniforms Of the Cir
cassian revolutionary army, but. this
plump little mercenary looked as II he
might have the rank of captain. There
was n red band around his cap, and
1t seemed pale in contrast with his
face.

through the corridors of the prison.
Kevski led Darrell by dark and mar
row way into n dungeon similar TO the
one he had quit. But here there was
evidence that the guard had already
been to obey the commands Of the gen
cral. Two young mountainccrs lay
upon the earthen floor with the life
blood flowing from gaping wounds in
their breasts and throats.
There was a window in this dun
geon, as in Darrelrs. II opened di-
rectly over a stone stairway leading
to parapet In the defenses Of the city.
There were bars in the window, but
Kevski found an iron instrument, with
which the two men wrenched the bars
away. Then they climbed through the
window and ran up the stairway. In
a small room on top Of the wall there
was gunroom or small armory. Here
were some spare uniforms that were
held for the soldiers of the garrison.
Darrell put on one Of them over his
other clothing.
Now we must take our places with
the defenders" said Kevski.
He had scarcely uttered the words
when lieutenant on the lookout for
stragglers appeared ut the door and
ordered them TO follow him. They
joined a party of a dozen men and
when they emerged from the prison
fell into line with company that was
forming. 1t was n motley crew, but
was Ollicered 10y experienced soldiers
and well enough armed. Presently
Darrell found himself upon the walls
in position commanding n view of n
stretch of land so rough as to preclude
the idea that an assault would be made
at that point.
The nearest line of the enemy was
upward of 500 yards distant, and there
was scattering and useless fire from
both sides. Two batteries of light
field guns were visible farther back,
but they were not in action. Between
them and the sklrmish line a consider
able body OF troops in fairly good for
nation were moving around to the
right. From that direction came the
heaviest firing, and there, seemed to be
considerable artillery at work. Wild
shots from these guns occasionally
few clear over the town, and this
fire, almost in their rear, constituted
the chief danger of the defenders at
the point where Darrell was posted,
Some shells burst rather close, but no
one was hurt.
Darrelps share in the battle consisted
in firing often enough to escape attract
ing the attention of an officer, but un-
der the circumstances he found no diff
hculty In avoiding the chance of hitting
any Of the besiegers, whom he viewed
as friends.
Presently the faint sound of cheer
ing Hoated across the rugged expanse
from the lines of the encircling enemy.
1t came from the left, where there
were trees that interrupted the view,
and the cause of 1t was not immediate
ly obvious. Soon, however, some
mounted officers appeared heading a
force which even at the distance show
ed a superiority of drill and equipment.
The sound Of the cheering increased.
Evidently some idol Of the army was

nave pceu prosperous comfort and
wealth had it not been for the stagna-
tlon arising from the policy of the
deputi2ed government of Getchikoff.
At the end of the days march they
rested at n little post village. In the
morning they again advanced and at
night reached Glugicrsk, on the main
road leading to the pass over the eau
casus to Tinis.
Darrell was treated with no more
and no less consideration than any
other of the prisoners. TO the officers
and soldiers of the escort he was sim
ply the nhilist Sergius Bilowski, and
no argument could make him anything
more.
After leaving Glugiersk the way be-
came more rugged. though the road it.
self was smooth and hard, travelled as
it was by the numerous trading cara
vans from north to south that crossed
and recrosscd the mountains.
Finally they reached Mozdok where
n stay of two days was made Their
next stopping place was Vladkaukas,
on the upward slope of the steep noun
tain pass.
Ten hours after leaving Vladkaukas.
in the morning, the turrets of Cred.
skov could be seen.
Darrell knew nothing of Gredskov,
and as none of the soldiers would talk
TO him and he was not allowed to
speak to his fellow prisoners he could
obtain no information in regard to it.
But as the frowning battlrments could
be seen rising above the trees he no
tced that the other prisoners became
more detected, and their faces express
ed terrible fear
1t appeared, then, that Gredskov was
place to be dreaded.
At the gate of Gredskov the cavalcade
was met by an officer, who halted the
prisoners and took from the captain of
the escort paper. This contained the
list of names, and the two officers went
over it together.
Even then Darrell was not allowed
to speak, though he made n desperate
attempt to tell the officer at the gate
who he was.
Without ceremony he was taken from
the column Of prisoners, handed over
TO fresh guards and rudely hustled
into a low building that was built close
TO and under the city wall.
Here he was thrust into dungeon
that was fioored with stone, walled
with stone and rooted with stone
/ There was one little window, which
/ opened high in the wall. Through this
narrow aperture, when standing upon
his table, he could see an esplanade
upon which regiments of the city's
garrison sometimes paraded.
For day or two Darrell cherished
the hope that he would be returned 4
StavrOpol, that the trick had been play
ed TO keep him out of the city at n crit
ical time when his Intervention in We
ras favor might have Inconvenience
the authorities, but as the time wore
on he began to realize that his view OF
the affair must be erroneous and tha
his liberty was lost forever unless hC
could win it back by his own hands.
While he fully realized the difficulties
of his position, he did not despair. IL,
knew that he was destined for Siberia
but the way to Siberia is long, and til,
opportunities to escape must be many.
