CHAPTER XIV.

i LTH0UGH, for many days
~ past, both Dick Marchurst
and HoodIess had been fully
aware that with the arrival Of Sails
the Red Emir intended to strike
camp and retreat, they were
hardly prepared for the disconcert-.
ing swiftness with which the
renegade carried out his intentions.
Waitinglik men in the dark,
for now there were two armed
savage-eyed sentries at their tent
efltrance-t0 be called to the dis
cussion concerning the matter of
their ransom, q request or invita-
,tion which Dick Marchurst GER
tainly expected, they could hear
from all sides the unnlistakable
sounds which indicated that the
camp was closing.
The minutes slipped past and 3
certain anxiety began to shs ow
Marchurst's face. !
ttWhat Is he delaying for,
Crichton 7" he asked.
Hoodless shrugged his shoulders.
Lord knows, old chap. Per-
haps Sais is not fit-she was reel
ing with fatigue as she rode in.
IA few minutes rest perhaps"
Dick stared past the r1otionless
figure of the Arab half blocking
the tent entrance.

leaving the tent without another
word. HoOdless, craning, saw him
mount 4 kneeIing camel outside,
heard the beast rise with 8 dis
cOrdant complaint, and 50.
That's the last Of the Red Emir
for the time being, Dick /" said
HoodIess, straining towards the
knife which the Abyssinian, not
daring to cut their ropes under
the ready rifles Of the Arabs
watching him, had dropped close
by.

ursk.

later, after they had painfully cOn-
trived to cut the cords round
Marchurt's wrists and release
themselves, Dick read Sais's note

said.

Luxor, Dick.

She had, not time to finish sign
ing her name.
The two men stared westward.
But nothing moved there now.
Only the shapeless track of the
camels indicated the direction in
which the Red Emir had travelled,
for, as he said, they went fast.
Even the Abyssinian and the
Arabs with him had passed out Of
sight, heading after the rest Of the
band en- route to the distant fast
ness of the Red Emir.
They glanced round. The camp
was stripped save only for the
tent they had just left and one
other-the big tent in which Hood
less had been lying when their

It was to have been 50 simple
and coldly business-lile as that,
Dick had dreamed, and the bigger
treacheryeven the possibility Of
it-Ahad never entered his mind.
Dick was very English. He
trusted very readily. Well, his
moment Of disiIIusiQn was very
near-nearer than Hoodless exc
spected.
Within half an hour the camp
was silent, save for an occasional
shout. But these grew rarer and
presently there fell an absolute
silence.
They're gone, Dick" said Hood
less. Al shadow fell across the
tent opening, and the burly form
of Ell Addar blocked out the light
for moment.
He stepped in.
Behind him, outside, waited two
Arabs, mounted.
The Abyssinian stopped, and
slipped folded scrap of paper
between Marchurst's fingers.
From the lady Sais, please,
sar," he said. His eyes rolled to
Hoodless.
"Sar, am prisoner, too going
to the oasis as servant of the Red
Emir. ] shall not stay there
shall escape with the lady Sais-
and come TO you, sar, at Khartun1,
or Luxor, fOr-ten pounds Turk
ish, the Mannlicher rife and q

He gasped expectantly.
"All right, Ell Addar, it shall be
waiting for you at Khartum-I
will arrange" said Hoodless.
The big negro's eyes cleaned.
1.-THE leopard skin, sar, is buried
in the sand under a round white
stone by the marks of the tent of
the Red Emir."
"Good," muttered Hoodless.
Ell Addar rose-but stopped
again at the virile, angry whisper
of Hoodless.
"Cut these ropes, FL Addar-
damn you, d'you mean to leave us
lying here?"
The negro glanced fearfully at
the Arabs outside.
"Sar, it is an order-to leave
you bound-but"-
Something dropped to the soft
sand, and Ell Addar rose swiftly.

They threw him down on the
sand and turned into the tent,
springing upon Hoodless. In an
other minute the two white men
lay side by side in the tent, bound
and helpless.
Marchurst was swearing tensely.
"Migkt have known that we
couldn't trust that renegade cur"
he said.
HoodIess did not reply. He
knew, if Dick did not, that the
Red Emir was deviating from the
plan he had outlined only to the
extent of greater degree of
violence than Hoodless had ex-
pected. To Marchurst it came as

HERE IS SOMETHING you
SHOULD TEACH CHILDREN
When lost, go down hill"


Is the Golden Rule to remember.
When lost, go down hill' is a SIM
pie rule to remember. but old timers
declare there is no place in Colorado
where it will not work. II you have
lost your sense of direction anywhere
in the mountains. do not wait till
darkness overtakes you, but go down
hill. When you reach a water course,
follow it and you are pretty sure to
strike some human habitation with
out going any great distance.
Parents should teach this rule to
their children as it might be the
means of saving them from such a
fate as overlook the little 13-year-old
girl who got lost and starved to
death near Nucla not long ago. The
rule is a simple one and the smallest
child would have no difficulty in fol.
lowing it if properly impressed with
|. the idea. when lost, go down hill
and keep going.
