There was a clash Of steel. and Dar-
rell, looking down, saw Kilziar pressing
his antagonist hard and driving him
backward from the door. Evidently
the prince was the better swordsman,
and the end seemed sure.
1t was impossible to lie still and see
this murder done. With no impulse
but the coInpMsion Of honor Darrell
sprang down from his place of conceal
ment, alighting directly behinda Kilziar.
Indeed he narrowly missed coming
down upon the Villains head.

Darrell. "He will revive. Now l am

for awhile. Here, help me to lay him

A minute later Korna had mounted
his horse, while Darrell sat upon an
other that had been borrowed Of a
trooper. Then they rode away. and
within the hut Kilziar began to stir
upon the bench. stupidity raising his
right hand to see what was clasped IN
1t and finding there the letter of Mot
man Khan. which Darrell had thrust
into the princes fingers.

ward the road. while Kilziar, with sew
eral officers around him, sat down upon
stool and lighted cigar.
At that moment Darrell was lying
upon the floor Of the attic, almost d.
rectly above Kilziars head. He had
a good view of the prince through a
chink, and he could hear as well as
the men in the room below.
"This seems to be the best place to
halt them," Kilziar continued. II will
teach these shrewd fellows not to
dodge their toll"
The game was obvious to Darrell.
The prince had got wind Of some rich
caravan that would ordinarily have
passed through Gredskov. but, bearing
that the town was held, had circled 1t,
we'll knowing what tribute would be
exacted by the revolutionists.
1t was not long before babble Of
voices came from the direction Of the
road, and then there appeared five
Turkish merchants under guard Of
soldiers.
The scene that ensued began by be-
Ing grimly amusing and ended in pitt
full tragedy. For as much as he could
understand Of the bargaining 1t SEEM
ed to Darrell that the merchants were
being royalty bled. but apparently the
prince understood them better than
the American did. Having received
certain sums in gold that was careful.
ly stored away in bags, kilziar dis
missed four of the merchants and de-
tanned the fifth, who was the youngest
of them, sharp looking fellow, tall,
smooth shaven and rather handsome.
BY Kilziar's orders he was left alone
witN this pan, and Immediately an ac-
rimonIorSdiscussion ensued, the prince
asserting That he had been cheated re-
garding the value Of the caravan and
that many rich jewels were among its
merchandise. The tall fellow denied it
boldly, and Kilziar's temper rose. Sud-
denly, to Darrells unspeakable horror,
the prince whipped out his sword and
struck the offending merchant dead at
blow. 1t was murder Of the coars-
est brutality, and If there had been
seconds time for interference Darrell
would have been unable to witness
such a crime without an effort to pre-
vent it, but the deed was done In
fash.
Instantly there came loud rapping at
the closed door, and q voice without
cried:

Kevski had taken. but could gain no
hint of what had become Of him. The
sun began to sink toward the west.
Darrell was positively starving. 1t
seemed impossible to wait longer. Ell
ther Kevski had been captured or had
hopelessly lost his way.
AS evening approached Darrell left
his hiding place and struck out in the
general direction taken by Kevski. he
proceeded with caution, for in reality
he was between two foes. If captured
in that region by the Circassians, he
would be taken back to Gredskov,
where his fate was certain, and If by
Russian troops advancing, or moving
toward any point Of concentration, he
stood the chance of being identified as
an escaped prisoner, with consequences
not much preferable to death.
His progress was slow, but bit by bit
he opened wider the space between
him and Gredskov, going always to.
ward Vladikaukas. Hour after hour,
with his senses alert, he kept on, till
he reached road.
It was a starlit night, and careful
search proved that there were no SOL
diers to be seen in either direction. BE
took the road, but kept within the
shadow of some trees that marked the
boundary of pasture lands along 1t.
After travelling few miles In this
way he came to farmhouse. He had
not had a morsel to eat since the bonn.
bardment of Gredskov had commenced.
Danger lay within the farmhouse, but
starvation lay without. He crept near
er and nearer, listened for dogs, but
the place was wrapped In the silence
Of the tomb.
The door of the house was wide open.
He knew that folk of any kind If sleep
ing there would not have their doors
open when armies swarmed around.
He walked boldly in.
Darrell had no matches, nor did he
find any. The light from the stars
came in but feebly. and he groped In
the darkness, seeking food, but the best
that he found was a half loaf Of dry
bread. With this and water from the
we'll he made a meal, and then, utterly
exhausted, he threw himself upon q
rude couch and went to sleep.
He awoke with the sun and began 8
search through the house. 1t was a
rude affair of mud and kind Of baked
clay. 1t consisted Of story and low
attic above. In a cellar which was
mere hole in the rock upon which the
house was built he found some dried
meat and fish and a few bottles Of ma
tive liquor, strong and harsh. 1t was
not difficult to remember better meal,
but few had ever satisfied a greater
need.
Refreshed by the hard fare, he was
about to continue his way toward Via
dikaukas when suddenly he was
aware of the trampling Of many hoofs
on the road that ran before the house.
and through a window he beheld a
considerable body Of cavalry advanc-
ing. Among the officers at the head OF
the column he deserted, to his utter
amazement, the burly form and harsh
countenance Of Prince Kilziar.
This road must be a main highway,
but what had brought Kilziar out OF
Gredskov? AS this thought ran through
Darrell's mind he saw the column halt
directly before the house, and Kilziar,
dismounting. walked straight toward
the door.

SLAVES OF BUSY PRESIDENT
"President roosevelt shaves every
day. or rather is shaved" " said an at
tache of the White House. "A young
colored man named Delaney, who Is
messenger at the White House, Is the
nresident's barber. He Is from Alex
andria. Va, and was in the govern
ment service for some time before ne
was assigned to the White House 10
attend to the presidents head and race
and to perform the duties of messen-
ger.

dent between 2.3O and o'clock each
afternoon, after lunch is served ana

earlier in the day. 1 have seen De-
laney making his arrangements Tor

receiving visitors, but this was nearly
always on days when there were no
visitors or callers waiting to see the
president. In the cabinet rooms IS
folding BARRIERS chair which, wnen not
in use, is placed against the wall and
remains unobserved. The president
sits in this and is shaved In the caoi-
net room. Delaney folds the chair and
put it away when he get through. The
work is quickly done, as the president
apparently begrudges the time taken
and wants to be up and doing some
thing.
president Mckinley always shaved
himself, using either safety or regu-
lar razor. He could handle a razor
with great ease, as lie had been accus-
toned to shaving himself for years.
When he went away he shaved HIM

a flying train as easily as when In his
room President Roosevelt does not
know how to shave himself comforta-
bly, and takes Delaney with him when
he goes off anywhere. e."-Washington

"But he died last night" said Kilziar.
"Why, then, have you ridden from
Gredskov to tell me this?"
