| he glared at her, and she saw that
burning; then he picked up the heavy
camel bag, and began to make his
way round what had been the beach OF
the pool, towards the passage through
which they had entered, and which
was now dry cave, wide below, mar
row at the top, and between six or
seven feet high. He trod carefully
and tried his way, for he feared the
quicksand, but he knew that there
was none in the passage, since he had
walked through the water and had
felt the way hard under his feet In
few moments he disappeared under
the rock.
Baraka knew what he meant to do;
he was going to try to dig through the
dam at the entrance to let the water
in, even if he could not get out: but
she did not move, for in that narrow
place and in the dark she could not
have helped him. She sat and waited.
By and by he would come out, drenched
with sweat and yet parching with
thirst, and he would glare at her hor-
ribly again; perhaps he would be mad
when he came out and would kill her
because she had brought him there.
After some time she heard a very
faint sound overhead, and when she
looked up the vulture was gone from
his pinnacle. She wondered at this,
and her eyes searched every point
and crevice of the rock as far as she
bird could only have been frightened
away; and though it fears neither
bird nor beast, but only man, she
could not believe that any human be-
ing could find a fOothold near to
where it had perched.
For some seconds, perhaps for Il
whole minute, she saw nothing, though
she gazed up steadily, then she saw
that a small patch of snowy white was
moving slowly on the face of the cliff,
at some distance above the place
where the vulture had been. She bent
her brows in the effort to see more
by straining her sight and meanwhile
the patch descended faster than it
seemed possible that a man could
climb down that perilous steep. Yet
it was man, she knew from the first.
and soon she saw him plainly, in his
loose shirt and white turban, and with
a long gun slung across his back,
Nearer still, and he was down to the
jutting pinnacle where the vulture had
nearer by few feet and she knew
him, and then her glance DATED to
the mouth of the cave, at the other
end of which the man she loved was
toiling desperately alone in the dark

there she took the hem of her one
garment in her hands and slowly
famed her little feet. Neither he nor
she had spoken for many lours, and
she could see that in the recess of the
rock he was sitting as before, with
his forehead against his hands that
were clasped on his knees, in the at
titude and bearing of despair.
He began to be athirst now, in the
heat. If he had not known that there
was no water he could easily have
done without it through long day,
but knowledge that there was none,
and that he was never to drink again,
parched his life and his throat and his
tongue till it felt like dried fig in his
mouth. He did not feel hunger, and
indeed he had little food in wallet
he carried; but he could not have eat
en- without water, and it did not occur
to him that Baraka might be hungry.
Perhaps, even if he had known that
she was, he would not have given her
of what he had; he would have kept
it for himself What was the life of a
wild hill-girl compared with his? But
the vulture was watching him. as we'll
as Baraka, and would not move from
it's pinnacle till the end, though days
might pass.
Baraka was not thirsty yet, because
she had drunk her fill in the morn
ing, and was not used to drink often
it was enough that she could look at
the man she loved, for the end would
come soon enough without thinking
about it. All day long the traveller
crouched in the hollow of the ruby
cave, and Baraka watched him from
her place: when it grew dark the vul-
ture on the pinnacle of rock thrust its
ugly head under its wing AS soon as
Baraka could not see any more she
curled herself up on the white sand
like a little wild animal and went to
sleep though she was thirsty.
IT. was dawn when she awoke, and
dew, so that the touch of it refreshed
her. The traveller had come out and
was lying prone on the sand, his face
buried against his arm, as soldiers
sleep in a bivouac. She could not tell
whether he was asleep or not, but she
knew that he could not see her, and
she cautiously sucked the dew from
her garment, drawing it up to her
mouth and squeezing It between her
lips
1t was little enough refreshment,
but it was something, and she was not
afraid, which made difference. Just
as she had drawn the edge OF her shift
down and round her ankles again, the
man turned on his side suddenly, and
then rose to his feet. For an instant

MARRIED 5000 ELoPERs.
Virginia Clergyman Thinks He
Can Claim the Record.
:. $1,000. !. $1,000. !. Z.

II is the inspiration derived from his
business that makes the Rev. Alfred
Harrison Burroughs Of Bristol, Va,
young In a manner at the age OF sew
enty- seven. He thrilled with the idea
that he IL destined to the honor of the
worlds record for Gretna Green cere-
monies. with record OF having mar
ried $1,000 couples OF clippers on this
convenient border he feels that he is
already the champion of the business
and this impression is strengthened
by letters from stricken lovers, not only
in every part of this country. but from
foreign lands seeking advice upon the
subject of matrimony and how best to
attain TO success I'm the science OF love
making. And these inquiries have gone
to the extent of seeking information
from the aged parson relative to mar
rlages supposed to have been solemn
lied in this country during the colon
ial days. English families. hunting
down their descendants in this coun-
try, have sought such information
from this man of many marriage cere-
monies.
The record of this man dates from
Aug. IA, 1885, when i'm a most inciden-
tai way, DIR. Burroughs was sought To
marry "A runaway couple. This was
the beginning of a business which was
destined to ripen into a record Of thou
sands in the accommodation mainly of
young lovers from Virginia, who found
II necessary TO fee across the border as
a means of escaping a law which pre-
vents the marriage of minors except
by the consent of their parents
1t is all sorts that is presented in
this record-poor, rich. humble and
renowned, alike, having sought the ser
vices of this master of the Gretna
Green, and so rapidly has the business
increased i'm recent years that the in
ventive genius OF the aged minister
has been called into play as means of
executing ceremonies OF n double, tri-
Pile quadruple, sextuple and even sep
tuple nature. 1t is only a few weeks
since he married seven couples at one
time, all of them arriving on the same
train, not by any previous understand
ing among them, but in the most ac-
cidental way.
This business he has kept up for
two decades within stones throw of
Virginia, where many OF the ceremon-
les would be illegal and be subject to
prosecution.
DR.. Burroughs declares that 1t Is his
experiment that the runaway marriages
are far more successful and happy
than parent-made matches. $50 far

more than FIVE couples in thousand
