At the sound of that sardonic voice
he turned quaking-saw the tall
Taureg eunuch regarding him with
glance that was as magnificent as

it was no Taureg, not even the eunuch's

man had two pistols, which might

"zavarani!" he cried with oily ex-
ultance, and he ran to the balcony to
look down at the crocodileS.
He was just in time to see a great
blast crash away from the fighting
mass and go off in lather of foam
towards the main river, while half a
dozen of its playmateS heaved along
behind in an anxiety to share the
brown and spindly leg protruding from
the leaders jaws. That lean leg con-
firmed Seleka's dearest hope.
He heard the crowd on the roof tops
take up the glad tidings: "Zavarani
is dead! The Lord of Lions has been
taken by crocodiles! Zavarani is no
more!"
Seleka, safe at last in power and
evil, turned from the balcony to leer
at the queen.

He must plan a celebration, to in

the power of the usurpers to treat even
royal blood with contempt would be
demonstrated.
He took the sack with him when
he visited Nefleech that night. When
she shrank at the sight of it, he told
,, her blandly that it was mere item
of final persuasion, which he hoped
not to have to use. He even pointed
out that he had not only come secretly
but alone, and how could an old and
feeble man hope to tie one SO young
and vigorous in sack.
In saying that he was enjoying his
own lying. Indeed, he all but winked
at the lean Taureg eunuch, since he
had already decided that man strong
enough to defeat Savaran had muscles
enough to cram a mere pulling woman
into bag. Thoroughly inflated by the
poison of his own deceit, he squeezed

said loudly, and then, in a whisper:
AT my signal seize, gag and bind her
more tightly-but hurt her not. The
people like to see life in the sack as
it falls to the river"
He smirked again as he turned and
walked back to the queen. He would
not only learn her secret, but would
prevent any whisper of it or his du-
plicity reaching Ba-Chwene by tying
her in the sack at once. With a smile
of honey, he drew close to her, conf
dent of her chains-and stopped with
the violence Of a shock.
She was advancing on him. Her
strong young arms were reaching for
him-and they were no longer chained.
DIRTY treachery!" he tried to yell,
but It was only a croak. Iron fingers
closed on his neck from behind. He
twisted frantically, and saw above the
Taureg mask eagle eyes whose sar-
donic .ferocity made him swoon In
sheer terror.
When he recovered consciousness, he
was tightly bound and gagged. And
he could smell and feel the texture Of
