THE caverns.

AftC AfNNNTUas
When Kitty Gray awakened TO con.
sciousness upon the beach OF a strange
land whittier she had been carried by
no purpose OF her own. she looked
once more into the face OF peril. The
sayages who surrounded her showed
no sign Of pity OF kindness. Upon the
contrary. whooping and yelling. they
fell upon her and dragged her in spite
of herself toward their own village.
This village had a ruler OF its own,
no doubt chief for that part OF the
country.
He was a savage Of peculiarly fierce
and torbidding yisage. and Kitty felt
her blood run cold as she faced his
evil gaze. Tho natives, yelling in
glee. practically cast her at his feet.
Evidently they we're giving to Caesar
the things which they thought were
Caosars-in this case. woman, the
spolia opima OF all wars and all con
quests. The evil face of the savags
monarch relaxed into a grin which
made Kitty shudder.
What woman was this now brought
by chance to the presence OF this ogre ?
Surely he had never seen her like be-
fore. Moreover, she was alone. pris-
oner, helpless. The progress OF rea-
son hereabouts was swift and simple.

served as headquarters for that por-
tion OF the island. Here he was
brought before the chief From the
look Of him and his subjects. Count
Frederick fancied himself to be on
an island somewhere on the African
coast.

such an attitude as 10 fancied would

meaning OF the colloquy going on
about him. for some time his interest
in life ana it's affairs was so lax that
he paid no attention TO anything that
was happening. At length. however,
he noticed something which caused
him TO take a sudden and eager inter

CHAPTER Lxv.
The Unknown Countries.


What now OF those to whom Count
Sachio had so lightly given carte
blanche to oblivion? Certainly there
was left behind them no trace or clue
which could give a hint OF the ex-
traordinary circumstances now en-
meshing them. They might all OF
them, Kitty, Count Frederick. Roleau,
as well have been dead indeed and
sunk at sea, so far as any hint OF their
fate was concerned. They had van
ished from the earth. The ship that
bore them had vanished from the wa
ter as well.
II was a strange and unreal coun-
try which faced Count Frederick when
he found solid land under foot once
more. He turned TO life and its hap
piness only with a duh apathy, lag
ging interest.
Frederick did not note that the
faithful Roleau had become separated
irom him in the confusion following
the landing OF the boat. In truth,
Roleau. exhausted as he was. himself
had noted but little OF what had gone
on. Finding himself finally left prac-
tically alone, he made on down the
beach in search OF food and water,
while meantime Frederick was accom-
panied by a party OF natives up the

and the chief himself did not lack
directness in his methods. He gave
a sign to his men. and the girl was
dragged away. struggling as best she
might, and flung into a hut which she
know was to serve as prison.
Here in corner OF the dark interior
she covered in terror before the ap-
partitions conjured up by her own
imagination. She had not long to
walt. The chief himself came, little
suspecting the resistance he was TO
meet-that of an enraged and despair
ing woman. So valiant did Kitty prove
herself in repulsing his odious ad-
yances, that he was glad enough TO
give her up and make his way back
to his hammock, leaving her to her
owr devices.
Outside the hut Kitty could now
hear loud cries. orders. shouts. e--
clamations, all the sour d. OF crowd
gathering-for what purpose she could
not guess. The meaning OF this also
was not long left In doubt for her.
Again the door OF her hut was dark
ened. and again the natives intruded
upon her privacy. Forceful hands
dragged her once more before the
chief.
The latter, smiling his hideous pur-
pose OF vengeance. pointed to pile
of firewood burning at tHe brink OF a
deep pit in the ground. He made
signs to Kitty which she could moi
fail to understand.
Yes, she saw It now-she was tC

happen out OF the ordinary on this
