was leading Lenora's horse came to a

his arm and commenced to talk in an
excited fashion to his two companions.
From across the desert, facing them,
came little company of horsemen,
galloping fast and with the sunlight
flashing upon their rifles.
"The Mongarsi" the Arab cried,
pointing wildly. "They attack the

The three Arabs talked together for

In the far distance were a number

peculiar hold upon them, but as rule
they hate white men, and their blood

The fight was indeed over. Four of
the Mongars had galloped away in

the temporary escort of Quest and his
companions. They passed about a

back again.

Of the spaces of the wallet he drew out

held out the card. They read it to-
