They struggled on once more. Night
came and brought with it half-sooth
ing, half-torturing GOODNESS. That
vain straining of the eyes upon the
horizon at any rate was spared to
them. They slept in a fashion, but
soon after dawn they were on their
feet again. Suddenly Quest, who had
gone little out of his way to mount
a low range of sand hills, waved his
arm furiously. He was holding his
field-glasses to his eyes. 1t was won.
derful how that ray of hope trans
formed them. They hurried to where
he was. He passed the glasses to the
professor
"a caravan" he exclaimed. 81 can

The professor almost snatched the
glasses.
1T is quite true" he agreed. at is
a caravan crossing at right angles to
our direction. Come! They will see
US before long"
Presently three or four horsemen
detached themselves from the main
body and came galloping towards
them. The eyes of the little party
glistened as they saw that the fore
most had a water-bottle slung around
his neck. He came dashing up, wav-
ing his arms.
You lost, people?" he asked. Want
water?"
They almost snatched the bottle
from him. 1t was like pouring life
into their veins. They all, at the pro-
fessor's instigation. drank sparingly.
Quest, with great sigh of relief, lit
cigar.
Some adventure, thisl" he de-
clared
The professor, who had been talking
to the men in their own language,
turned back towards the two girls
1T is a caravan" he explained, "of
peaceful merchants on their way to
Jaffa. They are hating for us, and
we shall be able, without doubt, to
| arrange for water and food and a
camel or two horses. The man here
asks if the ladies will take the horses
and rider"
They started off gayly to where the
| caravan had come to a standstill They
had scarcely traversed a hundred
yards, however. before the Arab who
was leading Lenoras horse came to a
sudden standstill. He pointed with
his arm and commenced to talk in an
excited fashion to his two companions.
From across the desert, facing them,
came a little company of horsemen,
galloping fast and with the sunlight
flashing upon their rifles.
THE Mongars!" the Arab cried,
pointing wildly. They attack the
caravan"
The three Arabs talked together for
a moment in an excited fashion. Then.
without excuse or warning. they swung
the two women to the ground. leaped

They all rose at once to their feet,

The little procession was already be-

them once more.

South AustraIia's Growth,

South Australia has, in proportion
to population the largest area under
cultivation of any of the Australian
states. During recent years a large
extent of country, principally malice
lands, has been taken up under vari-
Gus leases and agreements from the
crown. The work of allotting land
to applicants is intrusted to a spe-
cially constituted land board, and the

terms are especially designed to bene-
fit settlers during the first years Of
pioneering work. In contrast to the
general experience of the previous
decade, weather conditions in 1914
were by no means favorable to pro-
duction. That, however, the demand
for land was keen is shown by the fact
that during the year the board allot-
ted under ITO leases and agreements,
606,S79 acres, involving S1.355,595 pur-
chase money and s1S,970 rental. OF
the area mentioned ASS, 1898 acres were
allotted on agreements to purchase,

In 1928 the Bulgarians were WITH
in some thirty miles of the city. How
ever, Constantinople was thrice taken
before Mohammed's time, and in view
of the present attack on the Darda-
nelles it is significant that sea-power
contributed directly to its downfall on
each occasion. In 1903 the Frankish
warriors of the Fourth crusade, d.
verified from their objective in the
holy land by Venetian intrigue, aided
by a Venetian fleet, under the great
blind Doge Dandolo, captured the city,
and set up an emperor of their own

bars with his cleaning instrument to
rescue the cat, while the painters with
iron bars kept the snarling lioness in
a corner.
Failing in this, Sichert entered an
adjoining cage which connects with
Helen's by trap door. Three times
Sichert dived through the door to
reach the cat, but each time the

The fourth attempt was successful,

Cautiously Teddy made his light-foot-

CHAPTER XIV.

You can call this fairyland, if you
want" Laura remarked, gazing around
her; Il call it nasty, damp, oozy
spot"
Quest motioned them to sit little
nearer.
Il had a moments talk with Craig
this morning, and from what he says
l fancy they mean to make a move
a little farther in before long It'll be
all the more difficult to escape them"
You think we could get away?"
Lenora whispered, eagerly.
Quest glanced cautiously around.
They were surrounded by thick vege-
tation, but they were only very short
distance from the camp.
Seems to me-" he continued, I'VE

and I'm all for trying it soon. Even
if they caught US, l don't believe
they'd dare to kill US, with the Eng

going to get hold of two or three rifles
and some ammunition. That's easy,
because they leave them about all
the time. And what you girls want to
do is to hide some food and get bot
tie of water"
What about CRAIG" the professor
asked.
I'VE are going to take him along"
Quest declared, grimly. He's had the
devils own luck so far but it can't
last forever. I'll see to that part Of
the business, if you others get ready
and wait for me to give the signal.
They dispersed in various directions.
1t was not until late in the evening,
when the Mongars had withdrawn
little to indulge in their customary
orgy of grooming songs, that they we're
absolutely alone Quest looked out of
the tent in which they had been sit
ting and came back again.
"Well?"
Laura lifted her skirt and showed
an unusual projection underneath.
"Lenora and / have pinned up our
petticoats," she announced We've
got plenty of food and a bottle Of
water"
Quest threw open the white Arab
cloak which he had been wearing. He
had three rifles strapped around him.
THE professors got the ammuni-
tion," he said, "and we've five horses
tethered a hundred PAGES along the
track we came by, just behind the
second tree turning to the left. /
want you all to go there now at once
and take the rifles There isn't soul
in the camp and you can carry them
wrapped in this cloak. I'll join you
in ten minutes"
What about Craig?" the professor
inquired.
81 am seeing to him." Quest replied.
Lenora hesitated.
Isn't it rather a risk" she whis-
pered fearfully.
Quests face was suddenly stern.
Craig is going back with us" he
said. ''I'll be careful Lenora. Don't
worry"
He strolIed out of the tent and came
back again.
THE coasts clear" he announced.
"Off you go. One moment" he
added, there are some papers in this
little box of mine which one of you
might take care of"
He bent hastily over the little wallet,
which never left him. Suddenly a lit
tie exclamation broke from his lips.
What is it?"
Quest never said a word From one
of the spaces of the wallet he drew out
a small black box, removed the lid and
held out the card. They read it to-
gether:
Fools, all Of you! The cunning Of
the ages defeats your puny efforts at
every turn.-The Hands.
Even the professors lips blanched
a little as he read. Quest, however,
seemed suddenly furious. He tore the
card and the box to pieces, flung them
