alone in the morning for shade, when
the air was like fire; and being alone
l bathed in the clear pool to cool my
self, and I found the way and brought
back the stone, which I have hidden
ever since For if my father and
brothers know that have seen the
treasure they will surely kill me, be-
cause the women must never learn the
secret. You see," she laughed a little,
81 am the first of us who has known
it, since many generations. and have
already betrayed it to youi They are
quite right to kill US when we find
it out"
This is an idle tale said the trav-
eler. GO into the pool before me and
I will believe and follow you under
the rock. l will not go and leave you
here"
You are not very brave, though you
are so handsome, If they come and
find me here, they will kill me first"
You say it, but do not believe It,
| think there is a deep hole in the
passage and that I shall slip into it
and be drowned, for no man could
swim in such place. I have but one
life and do not care to lose it in a
water-rats trap. You must go in and
lead the way if you wish me to trust
you"
Baraka hesitated and looked at him.
How can I do this before you?"
she asked
81 will not go alone" the man an
swered, for he suspected foul play.
DO as you will"
The girl took from her head the
large cotton cloth with which she
yelled herself, and folded it and laid
it down on the rock by the pool; then
she let her outer tunic of thin white
wooden fall TO the ground round her
feet ard stepped out of it, and folded
it also. and laid it beside her veil. and
she stood up tall and straight as
young Egyptian goddess in the star
light, clothed only in the plain shirt
without sleeves which the women of

one was sleeping, and there was no
moon. She followed the stony sheep
track that struck into the hills only a
few hundred PAGES from the last
houses, and the stranger followed her
closely. He had his sack on his Shout
der. his book of plants and herbs was
slung behind him by strap, and in
his pockets he had all the money he
carried for his travels and his letters
to the chiefs, and a weapon; but he
had left all his other belongings, judg
ing them to be of no value compared
with camel's bag full of rubies, and
only a hindrance, since he would have
to travel far on foot before daylight,
by dangerous paths.
The girl trOd lightly and walked
fast, and as the man followed in her
footsteps he marked the way turn by
turn, and often looked up at the stars
overhead as men dc who are accus-
toned to journeying alone in desert
places. For some time Baraka led
him through little valleys he had often
traversed, and along hillsides familiar
to him, and at last she entered a mar
row ravine which he had once fol
lowed to its head, where he had found
it ended abruptly in a high wall of
rock, at the foot of which there was
a clear pool that did not overflow 1t
was darker in the gorge, but the rocks
were almost white, so that it was
quite possible to see the way by the
faint light
The man and the girl stood before
the pool; the still water reflected the
stars.
This is the place Baraka said
DO you see anything?"
q see water and a wall of rock.
the man answered q have been here
alone by day know this place.
There is nothing here, and there is no
way up the wall"
Baraka laughed softly
The secret could not hare been
kept by my fathers for IA generations
if it were so easy to find out" she
said The way is not easy. but

No" returned girl Il Will so a
little way down the gorge and watch,
while you go in"
Tie man did not trust her How
could he tell but that she had brought
him Dan ambush where he was to be
murdered for. the sake OF his money
and his good weapon? The rubies
were real, so far as he could tell, but
they might b. only bait. He shook
his head.
Listen" said Baraka. AT the other
side of the pool there is a place where
the water from this spring flows away
under the rock. That is the passage"
4 have seen the entrance" an
swered the traveller 1t is so small
that a dog could not swim through it"
IT looks so. But it is so deep that
one can walk through it easily, with
ones head above water 1t is not more
than so steps long. That is how l
found it. for one day I wandered here

her country wear night and day; and
the traveller saw her eream-white
arms near him in the soft gloom, and
heard her slip off her light shoes.
Il will go before you,7 she said;
and she stepped into the pool and
walked slowly through the water.
The traveller followed her as he
was, for he was unwilling to leave
behind him anything he valued, and
what he had was mostly in the peck
cts of his coat, and could not be
much hurt by water Even his
pressed herbs and flowers would dry
again, his cartridges were quite wa
terproof, his letters were in an i'm
pervious case, and his money was in
coin When he entered the pool he
took his revolver from its place and
he held it above the water in front Of
him as he went on With his other
hand he carried the sack he had
brought, which was one of those that
are made of Bokhara carpet and are
meant to sling on a camel.
Baraka was almost up to her neck
in the water when she reached the
other side of the pool; a moment
later she disappeared under the rock.
and the traveller bent his knees to
shorten himself, for there was only
room for his head above the surface,
and he held up his revolver before his
face to keep the weapon dry, and also
to feel his way, lest he should strike
against any jutting projection of the
stone and hurt himself He counted
the steps he took, and made them as
nearly as possible of equal length. He
felt that he was walking on perfectly
smooth sand, into which his heavily
shOd feet sank a very little There
was plenty of air, for the gentle
draught followed him from the en-
trance and chilled the back of his
neck, which had got wet; yet it
seemed hard to breathe, and as ne
made his way forward his imagina-
ton pictured the death he must die
if the rock should fall in behind him.
He was glad that the faint Odor of Ba-
raka's wet hair came to his nostrils
in the thick darkness. and it was very
pleasant to hear her voice when she
spoke at last.
