Kilziar chewed his cigar flercely, as
II seeking a retort. Then suddenly he
waved his arm toward Varnek.
Take them away" he said.
Immediately guard fell in around
the prisoners, and they were taken to
small room in the rear of the house.
1t seemed to have been place for
storing perishable food in summer, be-
ing below the level of the ground, hav-
ing near the ceiling a little slit of a
window, barred and covered with n
wire screen and flush with the pave
ment of the court without.
Darrell was a man not prone to de-
spair, but he could not see n way Of
safety here. 1t looked like the end of
this world to him, and the fate was
harder because II was incomprehensi-
BILE. He could not understand Kilziars
action. Surely II was not based upon
any idea of military Justice. for it must
have been obvious to the dullest mind
that Darrell would not seriously have
resisted the invaders of Gredskov.
Could It be that Kilzlar credited the
story that Darrell had betrayed Vera
to the Partisan police? The idea be-
longed In the realms Of delirlum. Then
where could a legitimate explanation
be found?
81 haven't time to think it out" said
Darrell to himself. 81 must make some
sort of play for liberty. Can my guards
be bought?"
He still had the money which had es-
capped the searchers in his cell at STAY
ropol, and it was a sum to tempt a sol
der. Darrell kicked upon the heavy
wooden door of the room and cried out
in Russian to the guards, but there
was no response. He was not even or
dered TO keep quiet. An hour passed
In this vain attempt; then suddenly the
door wasShung open, and he beheld
with surprise the face of the Circassiar
officer Korna, whom he had seen In
Paris.

which the prison room opened there
had been planted a faring torch, ant

The sound of his native language
surprised the captain so much that he
screamed a command in the same
tongue, his voice high pitched from ex-
citement and overexertion. The SOL
diers understood his meaning, IL not
the words, and they advanced without
firing. Darrell and Kevski were sur
rounded by half savage crew, drunk
with the fumes Of blood. but the fat
little German was soldier through

"We're safe as a church." whispered
Darrell to Kevski, and then, address,

II was prisoner here and was saved

The captain hesitated for the space
of about two seconds-longer than any
minutes that Darrell ever remembered
to have passed.
"Spare themp said the captain, and
then to Darrell: Point out this prison.

Darrell waved his hand in the direc-
ton of the building, and the party ad-
vanced.
"Does Motman Khan command in

the officers side.
The audaclty of the question gained
an answer for II.

held between his teeth with the burn
ing end tilted up to the level of his eye,
and It struck Darrell suddenly that this
grizzled soldier, with his square jaw
and rough, closely trimmed beard,
strongly resembled n very famous New
York politician. The thought was hu-
morous but had its tragic SIDE for Oar
rell was at the mans mercy.
Still. except for the sinister appear
ance of the creature, there was no rea-
son why Darrell should fear any evil
at his hands.
"Who are these men" demanded Kill
ziar, and Immediately an officer who
had been sitting at the end of the table
arose and said:
"This one claims TO be an American.
The other was turnkey in the prison.
They had been serving with the de-
tenders when captured by our troops"
"How is thisf" asked the prince, ad-
dressing Darrell.
1--WE were with the defenders, but
not of them" replied Darrell. 1--WE Of
fered no resistance to your forces"
''To the best of my information said
Kilziar, you We're among the prison
ers and escaped the massacre by agree
ing to serve with the Russians. You
occupy the position of a noncombatant
bearing arms in violation of the laws
of war 1t seems to me that you de-
serve death"
Darrell was mystihed. He could see
no earthly reason why Kilziar should
treat him with severity.
"Will you answer me one question:
he said rs Vera Shevaloff within the
Circassian linesY
'She Is n princess Of Circassia," said
Kilziar saluting, "and will be its queen
when the state Is free"
"Do you think she would desire my
death?"
81 don't think it would matter to
her one way or the other" replied Kill
ziar. "If there We're any reason to
suppose so, l would spare you until

In the barks of our forest trees arr
contained a multitude of latent buds
which are developed and grow undel
certain favorable conditions. Some
trees possess this property in remark
able degree, and often, when the Other
parts are killed down by frost, the
property of pushing out these latent
buds into growth preserves the life OF
the plant. These buds, having once
begun to grow, adhere to the woody
layer at their base and push out their
points through the back toward the
light.
The buds then unfold and develop

In the matter of taxation the Isle of
Man is unique. There is no income tax,
no succession duties chalgeable against
the estates of deceased persons, no
highway or turnpike tolls. Roads are
maintained by the revenue from two
sources-a small tax upon every wheel
and shod hoof and levy upon every
male inhabitant, who must give days
work on the road or its equivalent in
cash. There are no stamp duties on
receipts, checks, promissory notes, ETC.;
in fact stamps are used only for post
age.-London Standard.

"A great deal Of unnecessary SYM
pathy is wasted upon the circus man
who stands up proudly in spangled
tights and lets another circus man
bring down sledge hammer upon a
rock placed upon his head with force
enough to break It," says an old circus
man. 'This is spectacular, but Is en-
tirely painless and calls for no gerat
strength or endurance. Upon the era
mum of the strong man is put an iron
contrivance weighing about $50 pounds
and provided with cushions both above
and where it rests upon the head. A
pretty good sized rock is used, and the
hammer is heavy one, so you can see
that the blow that cracks the rock is
really serious one. But most OF the
force is taken up by the rock and the
rest by the iron and cushions, while
the only sensation felt by the subject
is gentle tap.
mo more difficult than this Is the
act whereby the hero of the canvas
tent permits a rock to be broken upon
his chest with a blow from sledge
hammer. So long as the subjects back
is free and does not rest against any
solid object the trick is perfectly sim
pie. A little illustrations: Take board
up and let 1t lie freely In your hand
and hit it smartly with hammer. 1t
is difficult to hurt your hand, and the
thicker the board the less the sensa-
tion. But now put your hand on the
table and hit the board. Hurts, doesn't
it? Well, it's the same with the rock
on the chest"

Thousands of people suffer through

the poor sufferers have been informed
by physicians that there is no hope
If you are victim of kidney dis

There is mighty saving agent that
you have not yet called to your aid
it is Paine's Celery Compound. This
grand medical prescription has con
quered as desperate cases as yours; it
has power to pluck you as a brand

Paine's Celery Compound do for me,
that other medicines have failed to ac-
complish?''
Paine's Celery Compound will ac-
complish vastly more for you in your
distress than you can imagine. Its
first great vital undertaking is the pur-
ification of the life stream from waste
matter, the result of decomposition of
the tissues. 1t will remove all morbid
materials, saving you from uramic
poisoning, which so often proves fatal
in kidney disease.
In addition to all this, Paine's Gel
cry Compound Will establish nerve force
and new nerve fibre: it will nourish
the weakened system and restore the
full vital functions of the kidneys
If you value life, delay not the use
of Paine's Celery Compound single

demands the immediate use of this
great live saver
