Kiss me again. God grant that this may not be our last farewell!” “Darling one!" cried Alma. “My dearest sweetheart! Kiss me! Tell me once again that you love me, and with your strong arm around me I am con- tent to die." He kissed her passionately. “It is hard. my beautiful darling, to die when liberty is almost ours! But THE LOVERS ARE SEPARATED. HE cessation of the storm found the old hayboat still 73:7? afloat, but the two lovers on I" top of the hay were in a pre- carious condition. The wind and rain had chilled Alma, and she snuggled close to Harvey for warmth. “Dear one, they would have killed you, and that would have killed me. Is it not better for us to die together, it we must die?” “We cannot remain here." said Har- vey. “We must climb up on the hay." They soon had a perch in the hay. which they kept by clinging to the cords that bound it to keep it in place. One of Harvey’s arms was around the girl. They rushed along hour after hour, each moment fearing that the boat would sink or turn over. Sudden. ly there was a loud crash. The re. mainlng mast broke and went plung- ing into the sea. The boat lurched (rightfully, and it now seemed imposo sible for it to live in the foaming wa- ters much longer. “My darling!" he said as he hugged her close. “This is indeed a terrible experience for you. Rather would 1 have remained in the prison at Tiflis than subject you to such peril." “Yes, it in better; but, since the old hulk and its load of hay have survived the worst of the storm, welmay yet run across a boat that will pick us up.” "Let us hope so.” They spoke little as they huddled to- gether on the hay. Each was strain- lng to hear the faintest sound that might come from over the water. “Hark!" said Harvey. “Dearest, did you not hear something?" “i fanciedâ€"I hopedâ€"I heard a shout. ('zm it be that Russian boats are out after as so soon, and in that storm?” With clasped bands they waited through the dark hours of the early morning. Dawn began streaking the east. Harvey strained his eyes to pierce the scarcely perceptible light. Sot more than 200 feet from them was a long, low hull that seemed at rest. The burner voices could be heard as the wind and rolling current carried them nearer. “What is the voice that speaks out of the darkness?” came a shout. “In the name of Allah tell us!” Then above the other voice there rose cries of “Allah! Allah, Ill Allah! Moh- ma Mohammed Resoul Ullah!” “The Russians would not be shout- ing. I fancy it is some one in distress. Perhaps the Turks in that caylk are shouting for help.” “We are saved!” cried Alma, and the wept on his breast. “Ho, there!” shouted Harvey at the top of his voice. “Whoever you are, help us!” “We are castaways on a wreck." he answered, trying to produce a comm. nation of tongues that these men could understand. He had been long enough in the east to know that when and crossed a frontier he did not at «me leave the language of one country he- hlnd him and and a totally distinct tongue of another In use. The people â€"L- Lâ€"‘“ -h‘-â€" _. L_._L._._ “Mohammedans, and most likely Turks.” said Harvey. “Yet that does not sound like a Turkish voice. But any port in a storm.” As the dawn increased and the old hay barge floated nearer the other boat Harvey could distinguish dark forms lined up along the deck rail. He seemed to recognize that long. low. black hull. A rope was thrown to him. and he caught it after several st- tempts. Those on board the vessel drew the hayboat toward it. “Who are you?” came a vole. hrgqn that Harvey happily u “M y darling! What a terrible experi- ence {or you!” said Harvey, taking her in his arms. “It is impossible to con- trol the boat. The only thing I can do is to try to cut away the sails." “Dear Harvey, I will help you.” But they had nothing save the sword of the inspector general of prisons with which to work. With this they hacked at a few ropes they could reach, but the sails were held by ropes that had wound themselves around the masts. One mast broke and fell to the deck. It was beyond the power of both to more it. The speed of the boat seemed to be none the less for the loss of that mast. The rain now came down in torrents. The boat rocked and rolled and the waves swept completely over it. The wfn'd howled. The boat shivered as it was drlven along at lncreaalng speed. The timbers surely would not hold together long. A SOLDIER OF COMMERCE CHAPTER XIV. [coxnxvzu] Poprfl‘ht. me. by l". B. Tool-h- By JOHN ROE GORDON Under sail the boat made better prog- ress and was soon out on the Caspian. where in the inky darkness nothing could be seen. The slight wind that had promised so well soon died away, and the boat, now in deep water where the poles were useless, was almost helpless. Its big lateen sails flapped against the rude masts, and the men grumbled. This was not getting to Astrabad. and they had had enough of watching over the lives of a Muscovite woman and a man from what they con- sidered another world. The boat got into a current that carried it out far- ther and farther, and Harvey, feeling secure in the darkness, called to Alma to come out from her hiding place. They sat together in the little deck- house waiting for the breeze that must surely come sooner or later. “By this time they are well in pur- suit,” said Alma. with a shudder. “It is death to be taken now.” “The caylk is faster, dear M. Irons, but would it be as safe? I fear that a «storm is coming. In that little boat I would be afraid.” “You are a Russian girl no longer, dear. As soon as we get to a place where there is an American missionary who can perform the ceremony. or an American consulate. you will be my American wife, and the Russmn guns can thunder all they please. Hello! What’s up now?” Suddenly the delayed wind had come in squalls. It whistled through the ropes. and one snapped. Charka could be heard outside cursing and bawling out orders to his men. Har- vey went to the door and tried to see in the darkness. The boat began to move rapidly through the water and careened to one side. A flash of light- ning showed him the three men hard at work trying to control the sails. “The storm you feared has come, lit- tle girl. but do not be afraid. I’ll go outside and see what 1 can do to help.” Charka felt that he was safe. and as there was a slight breeze he raised his sail. He had but one thing more to fear. he reasoned, and that was a Russian gunboat. Boatloads of hay were not in- frequent on the Caspian. and he felt assured that it would not be difficult to hoodwink the captain of the guuboat. "I'd take my chances in that as soon as in this old bulk, and there would be the additional advantage of getting somewhere before the storm came." “Ah. M. Irons. it is a long way across the Caspian.” “But we do notâ€"it is not like Rus- sian girls." “It would have been death at any time, my darling. We must be cheer- ful. I wish we had a cayik instead of this old hayboat.” '"xot see my windmills again? Why. I’ll set] ttiem at the big fair at NiJni Novgorod. Surest thing in the world. my darling. We’ll take our wedding trip out of my commissions. But don’t call me M. Irons. Call me Harvey. That is my name, as yours is Alma." “Can I be of use?" he asked. raising his voice to a about. “Use! Yes, you can be of use!” bawl- ed Charka. “Help me and my men.” “Now!” cried Charka exultingly as the old boat gathered speed. “Now the Turk’s caylk would not be so fast!” But his jubilation came too soon. A sudden gust of wind tore the rope he was holding from his hand. and one that had been fastened to a pin at the side of the boat snapped with a report like that of a pistol. It cracked two or three times in the air and then wound itself around Charka‘s neck. A smoth- ered curse came from him as he strug- gled with the rope. As Harvey stepped forward to assist him the sail gave an extra pull, and Charka was dragged over the side of the boat into the sea. A cry came from him as he sank, and his men muttered their prayers as they stood shivering, realizing the useless- ness of trying to aid him. “Go on. There will be a fine min- gling of races at Astrabad.” “No finer than at Tiflla," said Churn as the hayboat slowly drew away. “The scum of the earth and the cream were a: 1'iflis.” “I am aware of that. Alma. I’ve been long enough trying to make the trip. Even now I am a good many days from my windmills.” “I fear you will never see them again, dear M. Irons.” A _.-- Charka's voice showed his agitation. His men were working like beavers to unite the rope that had parted. Har- vey assisted, and soon the sail was bel- iying out before the steadily growing wind. “Don’t stand there like idiots!” shout- ed Harvey.’ “You've got a small boat.

You would bring us another curse." “We will take you!" came the voice. and the hayho'lt was drawn close to the other. Powerful arms were out- reached to them. and Irons, stiff and sore from the experience of the night. gathered his strength to pass Alma over. “A soldier of the hated czar!" yelled one on board, scanning the uniform of the inspector general of prisons. which Alma still wore. “One of our ene- mics!" .A sharp cry escaped Alma. and Bar- vey sang out: “Have a care how you use that wom- an! That is my wife! She wear: that uniform only to escape!” “Remain where you are till we un- derstand this thing!" said one who n was that, no matter with whom no came in contact.

But you must be a wom- an, you are so beautiful. Since we have had so much trouble with your uccursed Muscovite officers. and have had to take the bride of our noble prince twice, we will recompense our- selves by taking you also. Keep each other in good cheer, for in a short time the officers of our glorious ameer will dance at the wedding of his son, the prince. I will have the American. as you call him, thrust aside.” “Konra!” exclaimed Alma. throwing her arms around the girl. But Konra. thinking that she was being embraced by a man. repulsed Alma. “No. my poor girl: I am as unlucky as yon. My America-ft] sweetheart. who was accused of abdztcting you the first time and was thrown into prison at Tiflis to be sent to Siberia or killed, escaped with my assistance. I wore the uniform of the inspector general of prisons, and by acuug a part I sue- ceeded in getting him out. We escaped from Tiflis while the alarm guns were being fired. The soldiers even came upon the boat where we were hiding under the hay. A storm overtook us. The captain of the boat was swept overboard, and the other men deserted in a small boat, thinking the American was the cause of the storm. M. irons and I, left alone. have just been res- cued by the men on this boat. At least. I am here, but M. Irons is held on the hayboat. They thought, as you did. that I was a Russian officer." “I report, Karakai, that we have ac- complished more than our mission. We received from Hafiz Effendi and Mizik the beautiful daughter of the merchant Biartelkis, whom they as. sure us is the loveliest young woman in the world and a fitting bride for our noble prince.
