me / found that Daria was sitting be-
side me looking almost herself again.
though In a somewhat draggled condi

II said one hour. You have slept

princess more easily
Il am a new man." l said, rising.
Her highness has told me how you
came last night Faith. IL Is a marvel
that you are here now. Come with me-"
| followed him. He pointed toward
Yadasara.
A great cloud hung over the plain.
and as l looked a fame shot up from
the midst of the cloud and then an
other.
Fire" / said
They are too busy to think Of you
this day. The revolution has COM
menced."
"Vasca was to be king today"
AYE. His followers are probably
wondering why he does not come to
lead them"
''Is 1t time to mount? 1t would be
hard to be captured now"
Daria's soft voice and her clingtng
arm recalled me to the present.
1T is time"
In your country we Will forget this"
Il shall never forget it." / answered
You will be with me. How shall
ever forget?"
We mounted and sped onward again,
and then | remembered another per-
sou In Drussenland
"O'Ryan, where Ia BridgetY'
'Tn Yadasara."
You would not bring herY'
'She would have been unhappy
away from the house by the walls"
The princess looked at me and was
silent But she never quite forgave
Organ. He had deserted a woman,
Eshe declared. She did not know how
capable Bridget was of looking after
herself
So we rode on, and no one followed
us. And the farther we went the
more our spirits lightened.
It was Ear In the afternoon when
we reached the spot where l had first
entered Drussenland. where Organ
had cried "Haltr' 80 stentoriously and
where had found that the legend Of
this country was true. I showed Da-
ria the spot where l had fallen from
the mountain pass, the straight black
line. though 1t did not look 50 now,
| over which poor Mustapha had shot
out to find a new country-not the one
he had for years dreamed Of. but a
better one. trust.
The road we were travelling ended
| almost abruptly. A rocky barrier was
before US, into the foot Of which the
| river rushed noisily. A narrow path
went up around the side Of the rock.
THE water rushes through the rock
to somewhere. The path should lead
| US somewhere, too," said Organ
1--WE will try It," said, dismounting.
| I helped Daria from her horse and
we began the ascent.
| Il see no way out here" said
spend the night in"
| 81 see no way either" I answered.
There is one consolation II they
come after us they will hardly follow
US here"
| So far as we could Judge we were
standing midway between where the
water leaped from the rock to where
it touched the ground below.
| Daria had not spoken. Now she
drew my attention to the fact that the
water fell clear of the rock from which
it sprang.
MAY there not be a way behind 1t 2
she suggested
II remember how close 1t sounded
when 1 came into Drussenland," sai6
Organ excitedly. "Your highness
may be right"
Were you mounted when yor
cameW / asked
"No; on foot, but there were horses
We were led up a path, and then oul
eyes were bandaged I remember Il
was short journey after that"
'This must be the entrance to Drus
senland," said Daria.
Faith, it's the way out we're after.
Organ returned.
| Further search showed US a caverr
which was hidden by the jutting rock
1t turned and twisted for few yard.
and then opened upon a narrow path
way which crossed the rock behind the
falling water. I say a narrow path
So 1t was. I have traversed narrower
