Of the road we must travel either on foot or by litter--if we go.'
 "Of course we are goingT said Ruth
 "l most earnestly beg of you to stop here" said the barOnet "You don't know your India as | do. and even if we acc complished our purpose we should run double risk in getting back"
 They argued the matter for some time, but Ruth refused Go consider re. treat at this stage, and John, impress ed though he was by the others evi dent sincerity, could not help feeling that as an outsider he did not under stand the necessity of the recovery of the plans.
 When he and Sir Donald talked it over alone the baronet was even more insistent.
 He characterized the whole expedl. tion as rash and plainly stated that should the British government get wind Of such a search immediate steps would be taken Co see that the Ameri- cans went no further
 Dorr was unconvinced and finally in- timated that Faversham had not meant what he said when be had volunteered 10 help them.
 Sir Donald shrugged his shoulders and admitted himself helpless in the face of such arguments.
 "At least I can go along and do what 1 can to save the young woman from actual peril" he remarked. "I by no means promise to give you active as- sistancen
 "Tll be satisfied if you'n just tip me or once in awhile" John responded
 They made the journey to Bhola safely Rutb and John viewing the novel sights that met their eyes on every hand, Sir Donald acting as gen. pral guide and instructor
 On their arrival at the tecming city they were soon installed in an inn out side the center and some distance up the river
 Faversham wasted no time in look. ing up certain people he knew among the natives and was in position to inform them that be had not only dis. covered the temple, but that he hnd learned that the idol had been recov- cred and would be restored to it's prop sr shrine with due ceremony and great festivity.
 "That win ho inst our chance" said ohn. "In ;he crowds we ought Co be safe"
 Fuversham tried Go convince him that this was not so. hut nnrr insisted so strongly that the luglshman yield rd tO his better judgment
 "lll try 10 get you within sight of the idol anyway" he consented "But must insist that you obey my instruc tious implicitly Otherwise we shal an get into trouble and you will effec tually kill any chance you may have pt attaining your purpose"
 The result of this was that Ruth late that night was wakVncd by Sir Donald's rappiue on her door
 When she had flung on some clothes and opened sue saw from m> manner and his diShevoied dress that all mad not gone we'll

 For the moment Ruth was speech less; then she inquired for the purticu Rrs and Sir Donald gave them briefly.
 At tue conclusion be remarked, 'They won't harm him. but if it gets out that he really intended to steal that image we shall have trouble
 "But he is a prisoner" she cried.
 True. said Faversham wcarily. "l didn't dare stay. If they had got me. too, you wouldn't have known anything about what had happened for days possibly"
 "Bui you win save himt she pleaded.
 In her appealing beauty Ruth stirred Sir Donald to the depths He knew now that be loved her
 For love of her he would do what be knew might mean his own death. but hc was helpless in the grip of this sweet passion.
 Yet he would not go without ar least a word ot hope and promise "I'u get him. he told her. "lt win be hard job. but l'll save him for your sake. Ruth. aud when come back with him She leaned forward gloriously con tent that John was to be brought back to her. She did not read alright the eXpres. >ion iu the mans eyes She threw out her little hands tO him ioyously "l'u always love you ir you will" 1 he whispered
