The omcer looked bewildered end said nothing. Aunt may was speech: There was an unmistakable tremor in her voice when shexat inst found heart to ask the othcer where they were to spend the night. it was far past noon. and Aunt Fanny had suggested opening the lunch baskets.

The otlcer in charge had been rec- ommended as a trusted sernnt of the czar; an Amer-icon consul had secured the escort for her direct from the troll- tler patrol authorities. Men high in power had vouched for the integrity of the detachment. but ell this won for- gotten in the mlghty solitude of the mountains. She was in; to fear her escort more than0 feared the brignmls of the hills. The first stage or the journey by coach had been good fun. They had passed along pleasant roads. through quaint villages and among interating people, and progress had been rapid. The second stage had presented rather terrifying prospects. and the third day promised even greater vicissitudes. Looking from the coach windows out upon the quiet, desolate grandeur of her surroundings, poor Beverly began to appreciate how abjectly helpless and alone she was. Her companions were ugly, vicious looking men, any one of whom could inspire terror by a look. She had intrnsted herself to the caro of these strange creatures in the mo- ment of inspired courage. and now sho was constrained to regret her action. True, they had proved worthy pro- tectors as far as they had gone. but the very possibilities that lay in their power were appalling, now that she had time to consider the situation. “in am. me Fun)!" magnum-m nu uopentectthetthebukeetllnux lead. the opposition to Prince- Vela, and II. u sure to lave hlm heheeded itthechulcedords.
