It wGC Ahmed's suggestion that
they in turn should bury the filigree
basket. He reasoned that If they at.
tempted to proceed with it they would
be followed and sooner or later set
upon by Umballa and the men he had
won away from the village chief. The
poor fishermen were gold mad and at
present not accountable for what they
did or planned to do. He advanced that
Umballa would have no difficulty In
rousing them to the pitch of murder.
Umballa would have at his beck and
call no less than twenty men, armed
and ruthless. Some seventy miles
beyond was British territory, and
wherever there was British territory
there were British soldiers. With
them they would return, leaving the
women in safety behind.

to this treasure. You possess the doc

But, Ahmed" interposed Bruce, I'VE
are none of us British subjects"
What difference will that make, sa-
hib?"
Quite enough England is not in
the habit of protecting anybody but
her own subjects. We should probably
be held up till everything was verified
at Alfalfa; and the priests there would
not hesitate to charge us with forgery
and heaven knows what else. Let us
bury the basket, by all means; return
for It and carry it away by piecemeal.

Ahmed scratched his chin. Trust
white man for logic.
And, besides" went on Bruce, "the
news would go all over the Orient and
the Thugs would come like flies scent

For the first time since the expedI-
ton started out the colonel became
normal. man Of action, cool In the
head and foresighted. The hardships
of his incarceration, the many dangers
through which he had passed and the
constant worry over his daughters had
had their effect upon his mental and
physical being. Heretofore he had
been content to let others lead and
blindly follow, apparently hoping little
for ultimate success and freedom. Now
he was the colonel of old, the intrepid
and resourceful man whom Ahmed
mad followed in many hunting expe-
dltion.
