ton for his risks and intimated with
extreme plainness that III case his ex-
orbitant blackmail was not paid he
would not only not accompany them,
but put it out of their power to go
alone.
For an hour Wilkerson bargained
and haggled, but all to no purpose. At
last he gave in and practically strip
ped himself of coin, which the other
pocketed without thank you.
The three of them started forth un-
der a glimmering moon toward the
priests camp, mile OF so away by
spring.
Half an hours steady tramping
brought them within eyeshot of the
place, and Wilkerson went ahead to
spy out the lay of things.
When he came back he roughly told
Drake, in reply to his question, that
the idol must be in one of the pack
sacks lying about.
Its a case of sneak up and get a
sack each of us and then look for the
idol in it," he said
"All rightr' Drake growlcd. But
it's risky business. In case Of a muss
where'll we meet again?"
"At our own camp" Wilkerson whis-
pered and led the way.
! When they came close to the spot
where the natives were asleep the
three Of them paused and listened
Presently Wilkerson gave silent
signal that no one was awake, and
they crept up among the baggage.
The first two sacks yielded nothing
and Wilkerson was reaching out for
one that seemed bulkier than the rest
when their guide coughed and instant
y couple of the priests wakened.
Seeing strangers, they gave an alarm,
and one, apparently soldier, fred off
an ancient musket so close to Drake

He heard Wilkerson cursing behind
I him. couple of more shots and then
took to his heels in good earnest as he
heard rapid footsteps
moment later Wilkerson had
caught up to him, painting and drag
ging the sack, which he had refused
to surrender.
Between them they carried it ON fur
ther and then rested in slight hollow
till their guide came up.

kerson said with a snarl. ''I'll go back
and shoot up the whole outfit and
get it,
When the thongs were cut and the
great bag opened the first object that
met their eyes was the image they
sought. glimmering in the half light.
The moment he saw it and knew
that his quest was ended Wilkerson
flung the rest of the stuff away and
boldly got to his feet.
Nov for our own camp. Well just
see where those plans are" he growled.
Drake and the guide both protested
in vain.
Safely away from pursuit, they lit
light and examined their find.

triumphantly.

But what are We to DOR
Precisely, precisely the question:
said Sir Donald You and could slip
away, but there is the young lady to
consider.
"And the plans" said John doggedly.
Sir Donald flushed angrily Il am
considering the young lady in this
matter
And /, as her guardian, have to
think of her best interests was the
retort.
Faversham tugged at his mustache
in perplexity. Then he said quietly
II think Miss Gallon has really put

At this moment there came from the
street outside the sound of cries and
yells and trampling feet. The two
men looked at each other With one

said hoarsely. NOW for it!''

The servant spoke rapidly in the
vernacular, and Sir Donald answered
in the same tongue. Then he turned
to John

Ruth responded to the summons
without a tremor. and when few
hurried words had informed her of

By this time the mob had filed the
street without and was yelling for
vengeance on the sacrilegious white
men, punctuating its demands with an
occasional stone against the wall.
Achmet bowed low before Ruth and
with gesture Indicated that she was
to follow him. She heSitated.
Sir Donald curtly said, Hurry
She impulsively turned to John, and
he saw her eyes filed with anxiety for

Jean Darnell sullenly agreed, but
