had every chance to visit with Ruth.
Now, the baronet was not only no
dullard, but he had been bred in a
school that forbade him to linger too
long before claiming Ruth openly as
bis fiancee.
At exactly the right moment he of
fered her a gorgeous ring and pressed
his suit ardently. He sale nothing OF
the promise he had exacted. and Ruth
for very shame's sake accepted the
ring and the ensuing congratulations OF
Mr.. Reynolds. his wife and their
friends.
Deep In her heart she felt herself

1t was not long before Dorr, through

Drake. There was but one thing to do
follow Wilkerson.
The native guide received the news
of their change Of objective with IN
disguised contentment.
Sir Donald's commands alone had
forced him TO disobey his OWL In
stincts. But in q matter that lay who'll
ly between white men he saw nothing
alarming to his own safety or personal
dignity.
However. he warned John v e and
over again that the sacrilege had
reused certain fanatical tribes to a
pitch where they would ask few Ques-
tons Of wandering Europeans. but seek
instant vengeance.
Johns prayer was that Wilkerson
and Drake might escape till he himself
could overtake them.
Otherwise the idol would undoubted-
ly vanish once more into limbo.
Wilkerson himself was having a diff
icult time of 1t. The men with him
were almost openly rebellious, and at

wandering bands of hillmen whose at
titude was too threatening to be mis-
taken

said Drake for the twentieth time,

Wilkersou laughed and shook his
head. THAT idol is going back to the
States with me- he returned.

Yet a couple of night alarms shook
Wilkerson's resolution. and he agreed
with Drake that they should surren-
der the image.
Here they were confronted with a
aew difficulty. None of their men had
been allowed to know of the presence
of the idol. and Drake asserted that
to inform them now would be dan
gerous.
1t seemed unwise merely to drop 1t
BY the wayside. as it might escape
notice, and no good would be done.

and the condition made that the white
men should be allowed safe conduct
to the city.
How to do this occupied their minds
until the day when they found them

A few scattering shots told that they

For the moment Wilkerson did not
recognize his old enemy, disguised as

he was sure he reluctantly opened the
door and admitted him.
