of waters was no more than low MUIR
mur Underfoot were priceless Eastern
carpetings, luxurious divans were here
in profusion: the arehed roof. some 10
feet high. was crusted with innumerable
small lights. some of which peeped out
of the hearts of marvelously beautiful
StalactitCs. which. in turn, seemed to
absorb the light and glow with exquisite
colorings
Aghar pind. still carrying his lantern,
though it was extinguished now. drew
aside a heavy velvet portiere. They
passed through. the curtain fell behind
them, and Peter found himself in an
other apartment very similar to the first
and beyond this again were obviously
many Others for he could see now that
the cave, forming natural arChways at
varying distances, was. m effect. like
a suite of connecting chambers.
Aghar Pind led the way through sew
cral of these. each one Of which was.
in its barharic way, as luxurious as its
fellows and finally setting down his
lantern, motionCd Peter to discard his
bundles
"Sahib." he said, "the cave goes far
beyond this into the darkness: how far
do not know~-but this Is the cave that
men say is opened with key. Tajal
Ali is not like to come thus far, and
therefore the sahib will be safe here;
but he must make no sound for no man
of the crew may stay in this place, and
SO / viii make report To Tajal Ali that

then what? He shook his head grimly.
For himself, 1t did not matter: this was
the end Of his quest, the end to any
hope Of finding those who had made
Of him an outcast and stamped him
with the brand Of murderer. Quite the
end! Whether 10 came here-or in
jail yard with a black cap drawn over
his head. But 1t mattered 10 Marion.
Pray God, there was way outl
Thoughts came, a surge Of them
and he tried TO trample upon them and
drive them back. He did not want 10
think. But they were stronger than he
was; and, while the minutes passed,
they would not be denied-and that
night in London came, and Murchis0n
came, and Murchison's pearls, and
Hafu, and Capt. Josephus Mumm, and
Var Lal, and
cry, sharp, quick-a cry as Of sud
den terror-a cry that was unmistak-
ably Marions-rang through the cave.
In a flash Peter was on his feet and
speeding toward the curtain. He made
no sound as he ran, and he strained his
ears to catch another cry-but none
came. What was it2 What had hap
pened? II could not have been more
than five minutes since Aghar Pind had
left him-surely too soon for Taial Ali
TO have arrived. Was Aghar Pind play
ing double gane2 No-hardly that!
1t would have cost Aghar Pind f5 900.
There was no sound Of struggle, and
caution came to Peter And at the
curtain he halted, and drew one edge OF
1t slightly aside-and stood staring ike
a man dazed at the scene within.

how you came to take me there-and
she'll want to know where / am. and
what I'm up to--and lot more"
"Sahib," said Aghar Pind calmly. II
will tell lies to the Miss Sahib. / will
say that l. Aghar Pind, and you, Rahim
De. have grown weary Of our life on the
ship and are sick with a great fear that,
because of the blood thar Tajai Ali has
shed and because of the robberies that
are without number, it will bring us TO
our deaths If the white mems gunhoat
ever comes upon us; and. for that rea-
son. we have plotted between us to make
our escape, and that she shall come with
us. And for proof, sahib. she shall see
me prepare the drink that Is for Taial
Ali. But If she still will not believe
when the time comes then the sahib
and l, Aghar Pind. will take her with
us by force SO that she may escape And
as for the sahib. | will say that / was a
friend TO the sahib when I found him
ON the ship because 1t was in my mind
that he would join me, Aghar Pind and
you. Rahim De, to make our escape but
when / went to find the sahib again he
was gone, and that / do not know what
has befallen him. Does the sahib know
better tale for the Miss Sahib's ears?"
mo" said Peter terSely. THE devil,
himself, would be hard put to it to
match your Cunning!
II will return to her then sahib," said
Aghar Ptnd But first I will put out
the lights back here IF all goes well,
7 will come to the sahib when Taial Ali
sleeps: but. If it goes i'll between the
Miss Sahib and Tajal Ali, then let the

when that has come to pass we will try
to find our way out"
Peter frowned heavily.
Il can't say I've ever been taken with
that drug idea Of yours" he said curtly.
ut requires time for the stuff to take
effect--and that's wasted time; and,
what counts more, 1t gives him chance
to be with Miss Garth. You say that
he will be alone when ne comes here.
There are two of US II will be lot
quicker to tie him up somewhere out Of
harms way"
"Sahib." said Aghar Pind, Il have
thought OF that; but also there is an
other thing that is in my mind. 1t may
come TO pass, sahib, that at the first at
tempt we cannot find our way out, and
that we must try even for second or o
third time 1t Is the better way, sahib,
that there shall be no suspicion in the
mind of Taial Ali-and there will be no
suspicion in his mind because he shall
have fallen asleep But as for the Miss
Sahib, that is another matter. and Taial
Alli's blood shall be on his own head:
for if Tajal Ali lays hands upon the
Miss Sahib, then we will do unto Tajal
Ali even as the sahib says, and"
There won't be any doubt about that,
even II / have to handle him alone"
Peter interrupted in an ominously quiet
voice. "All right I'm satisfied But
the question now is what are you going
to tell Miss Garth? How are you going
to make her believe she is any better
off with you than with Taial Ali. and
so get her to agree to go with you?
And, besides, she'll ask you a lot of
questions that won't be easily answered

madly for utterance-and turned away
that he might not see her standing
there like that and so torture himself
beyond endurance.
Mechanically no, he stared back

made mockery of all such sounds.

Man and Maid

A CHAR PIND'S footsteps made no
" sound on the rich rugs as the
~ man hurried away; but, though
4 i the lights In that portion Of the
cave where Peter was standing
we're now eXtinguished, Peter could still
see the other--there we're lights in the
roomlike divisions of the cave nearer
the entrance, and to Peter, watching, 1t
seemed as though he we're looking down
q long yaulted crypt irregularly spaced
with archWays, at the end Of which
hung the heavy velvet curtain that he
had passed on the way In. And now,
looking more closely. he saw, too. that
all Of the other archWays were fitted
with pOrtiercs, but that these had been
drawn aside He saw Aghar Pind pass
through the last archway and the por-
there drop behind him.
How long would it be before Taial Ali
came? How long would it be before
Aghar Pind had administered thes drug,
and they could make their way out Of
this hells-nest? There was no good In
standing up-it would probably be a
long time. Peter moved one Of the
bundles Of rugs and cushions he had
carried from the brig to a position
where he could command a view of the
curtain at the far end OF the vaulted
passage, and sat down.
