hoisted Il second lantern at his mast

After this the sea began to fall, only
to grow rough again for awhile as they
crossed some bar, to find themselves ii

what appeared in the dim, uncertain
light to be the bush clad banks of a
river. For awhile they ran on, till Lo-
zellc called in n loud voice to the sail
ors to let the anchor go and sent a mes
senger to say that all might rest now,
as they were safe. SO they laid them
down and tried TO sleep.
But Rosamund could not sleep.
Presently she rose and. throwing Oh
her cloak, went to the door of the
cabin. 1t was Il lonely place-at least
she could see no town or house, al.

from the tree hidden shore. AS she
stood thus she heard he sound of

also that Lozelle, who stood alone upon
the deck, was watching their approach
Now the first boat made fast, and q
man in the PROV rose up and began tc
speak to Lozelle in a low voice. As he
did so the hood fell back from his head
and Rosamund saw the face. 1t was
that Of the spy Nicholas! For n mo

aloud:
"Treachery, Prince Hassan, there is
