To his surprise he could stand on bottom. Carefully he felt his way. For a short distance the water grew more shallow. Then it got deep- er. and he was forced to swim. After “It is an island,” said Harvey. “I am now resting on a shoal, and the water cannot be very deep between this and the island. I’ll swim ashore and risk it.” a short swim he again felt the ground under his feet, and he waded on to dry land. The shore was sandy. HE situation of Harvey Irons I on the hayboat was critical in the extreme; but. great as ' was his danger, he regarded it as nothing compared to the danger that threatened Alma. He was al- most exhausted from hunger, cold and grief. The boat slowly drifted in a southern direction. making toward the eastern side of the Caspian. It drift- ed out of the ordinary course or navi- gation. and he watched in vain for a passing vessel. He watched as long as possible the course of the ameer’s sloop and reasoned that it was making for the nearest Bokharan port. Night came on, with no rescuing vessel in sight. Hour after hour he drifted, hoping almost against hope, ever think- ing of Alma and of a way to help her. About midnight it seemed to him that the rocking motion of the boat had ceased; that it had become stationary. An examination in the dark was not easy. Harvey slid down the pile of hay, groping about with one hand while he clung for safety with the oth- er. He fancied he saw a faint light glimmering some distance from him, but it disappeared as suddenly as it had come. He saw the light again, a quick passing from one point to anoth- or, but showing for a moment only. “Now. that light is not on a vessel,” Harvey reasoned. “It is a lantern car- ried around by a person who is walking on land. If I drifted aground here. cer- tainly there cannot be water enough at that place to float any khd of vessel. I’ve probably drifted on the shore of some island. Is it a hospitable island, or will I be worse on in the clutches of the inhabitants than where I am? The wind may drive me off again before morning and a vessel pick me up. But would the vessel be any safer than this island? And how can I investigate without attracting attention ?” Soon there was another gleam of light such as might come through an open door from a light Within. A man was standing between Harvey and the light. He seemed to be looking toward the hayboat, but soon disappeared into the same place from which came the mysterious light. “Here is a pretty mess!” he exclaimo ed. “I wonder if this old hulk has run aground. The Caspian is shallow, but I did not think a boat like this could run, aground in the middle of it.” He moved slowly and cautiously. It was diflicult to locate where the light had been. IIe groped along. wander- ing in many curves. Trees were on the island, but he could see no trace of a building. After groping some time in the darkness he discovered what up peared to be a rock about five feet high. Feeling the surface of this, he found that It was not a solid rock. but K rocky formation with an opening on one side. Lying flat on the ground and peering in, he saw a light far in the earth, apparently from a lantern hung on a peg. He slowly crawled in- side the cave. After advancing for several feet he found that he could stand up and walk. 9 people, downtrodden as they are by c i the wicked ameer, strove to gain that t with which we could buy homes and l % cattle and make the Zannucke wealthy. A voice came from behind a shelter of the rocky wall that projected into the chamber. It pleased Ihrvey that it was not the voice of a Russian, for Russians were the only people he had any reason to fear. “I have spoken,” said a calm, stern voice within the concealed chamber. “1 have given the treasure as it should be given." “But, no, my brother,” came a voice that seemed to Harvey to tremble with emotion. It was a harsh, cold voice. not like the other. “You have done well for yourself. You have done well for the clans in the mountains. But we have not fared as we should. Was it not our courage that made the accu- mulation of this booty possible?” “Yes; that is so,” answered the first speaker. “But I am Palpak, chief of the Zannucks. and it was I who plan- ned everything. The wealth that came from the ameer’s people we were com- pelled to hide here until the ameer’s soldiers had finished their search among our villages. and the wealth that came from the Buddhist temples, which we found the most valuable of all, and the gold that came from the paymasters of the Russian soldiers whom we attacked and robbed. All these are mineâ€"mine! Do you under- stand, Domitan? It was Pulpit. the chief, who in the mm of all his Wannxm Bu JOHfl ROE GORDON “This,” he reasoned. “is what is pop. nlarly called honor among thieves. Here's a band of four who have been successful in gathering treasure by robbing everything and everybody to enrich a people kept down by that mis- erable wretch of an ameer. And now the only decent one, it.there is such a thing as decency among them, is to be killed so that the other three can keep the treasure instead of putting it to the I am doing. But the ameer has de- sisted from his search. He has some great aflair now in progress. It is time we took the treasure to the mom)- tains and distributed it among the peo- ple and then begin again to plan.” “It shall not be so! I swear it!” “There are three of us!" growled the surly voice. “And we are determined men!” said one who had not spoken before. The three laughed. “We intend toâ€" you will see What we intend.” Harvey began to catch the drift of things. “Do you intend to defy me?” de~ manded the one who called himself Palpak. “Rob you i" cried Palpak angrily. “Rob you of what? In the name of the white hull, of what can I rob you when you have nothing save what i have given you? I tell you I am working not for wealth for you. my brothers, but for the whole people. The Zannucks have been downtrodden and robbed by the ameer. He demands more tribute than we possess. He taxes us for our wives, for our cattle, and then his sol- diers steal the cattle. He taxes us for our families. and the soldiers steal our children.

On a wooden peg that had been driven into a crevice oi‘ the rocky wall hung a lantern. O the stone floor of the cavern squatte four men in a cir- cle, and between them were many bags of gleaming Jewels, bales of choicest fabrics and bags or gold. “Who are you?” the robbers dcnmndcd It was not difficult to pick out Pal- pak. for his watchful eyes were roving from one to the other as he remained on his guard against an attack. But the plans of the other three were al- ready laid. It was evidently a precon- eerted arrangement. The one called Domitan shouted “New!” and the three hurled themselves upon Palpak. "Hold on there! Let that man alone!” shouted Harvey. rushing in. His presence disconcerted the rob- bers, and they stopped fighting. Domi- tan, with a curse and gasping for breath, rose to his feet and seized hi. knife. “Who are you '1" the robbers demand- ed in chorus. The tour seemed ready to join against Harvey. “My friends," he said, “permit me to say that this conduct upon my own territory, to which you were not invit- ed, is most unseemly. I am the owner or this island, having just purchased it from the Russian government. I’ll have no murder committed here." Ping Shong!” “That's what I said! At this mome'nt I own the island." “It is a lie!” said Domltan. “You die on your island. then." He made a rush. but Palpak inter- cepted him. The other two. recovering from their astonishment.

At the moment Harvey recognised Orskofl the latter exclsuued: “You know! Of course you know! But you lie when you say you did not steal her. You came down the Km in a hayboat belonging to the Astrakhan Charka with a woman disguised as a” man? Who else was that but Konra ?" “See, he'admlts he has the girl! He has accomplices who will kill her it he is harmed!” shouted one of the soldiers. “The America! . I have found you at tut!" “Now, captain," said Harvey, “don’t be too hasty in this matter. I did not steal Koura Biarteikis, but I know where she is.” “You are getting excited! Kindly take that confounded sword from my throat. I’d like to talk with some com- tort." “Take them on board the gunboat. It is evident that they have robbed Russians, for here are bags of rubles. They must be taken at once to Tiflis. Convey all the treasure on board.” “You know that I love Koura, and to rescue her I am willing to parley with you. I had determined to kill you on sight. Come with me." Harvey followed his captor to the entrance of the cave. Here he found a guard of additional soldiers with lan- terns. In the distance a brilliant searchlight sent its gleam upon the is- land, lighting it as by day. In the great light from the gunboat Harvey could see that the old hayboat had stuck in the mud near the island. At a little distance was a sailing vessel, evidently the property of Palpak and his robber brothers. On the shore were two boats, which had landed the Bus- sians. The five prisoners were jostled rude. 1y while getting into the boats and at a command from Orskoff were soon on the way to the waiting gnnboat. They were received on board by a young of- ficer, who saluted Orskofl. “Comfort! A stealer of girls asks for comfort! That is the limit of American etrrontery. I’ll run the sword to the bone.” “It you do, I assure you that you will never see your Koura again." Something in the words and manner of Harvey impelled Orskoff to lower his sword. He turned to the soldiers who were guarding the four robbers and said: Turning again to Harvey, his face re- suming its expression of hate, he said: “I congratulate you. my captain. I am told by the men that you not only captured the Amcrican who stole the daughterot Biartclhis. but that you also had the good fortune to seize the four robbers who attacked the paymastcr and robbed him at Magda.” “Are you sure these are the men “I could not be mistaken.

I am convinced that Koura is not there." “Beware," said Orskofl, “how you trifle with me." , “I am not trifling with you. I am the only man who can help you find your Koura, and it happens that I have as ardent a reason to want to find her as you.” “Youâ€"you love her!” “I don’t even know her, but one 1 love is with her." “Then you did take her away?” “No, I did not. I know nothing about Kouraâ€"that is. except where she is this moment. But, before I tell, you must first tell me how you traced me to the island." “I could have told you that and sav- ed you trouble and time. Koura is get. ting farther away every minute. You .will never find her." “Remove the irons,” said the cap. tain. The lieutenant unlocked them. “Come with me alone," said Harvey. Surprised, Orskofl beckoned to Ne- .vlsky, who turned and walked away. “You fiend, I will have your life!” howled the captain as he sprang to his Orskofl made a gesture of impa- tience. “I said nothing of the kind. I said I did know where she was. But I did not take her there. Take oi! these con- founded irons, treat me like a man, and I will tell you what I know." “Koura had been living with her un- cle in Titiis. I saw her every day, and it I was not on duty I spent the evening at the house. One night I was on duty and did not go. I stopped to see her the next morning. and her un- cle, who was beside himself with ter- ror, told me. she had gone out the night before and had not returned. I knew she had been stolen. and, as that was the morning you escaped from prison. I knew you had taken her. I searched the river and learned that Charka’s hayboat had gone down toward the Caspian. It was said that a man and woman, the woman disguised as a man. had gone with Charka. I reached the coast as soon as possible, but I could not overtake you. The launch had gone before I made the discovery, or all this would not have happened. 0n the unboat I cruised everywhere. using g searehlight at nig.t. Last night we discovered the hayboat and at once went to the island.” “l was on Charka’s boat,” ‘said Har- vey. “and it you had used any reason- ing powers you would have known that it could not have been Koura who was with me. You say you were tald that the woman with me was disguised as a man. Now. how could I get Koura in such a disguise? When a woman disguises herself, it is for a purpose. Koura was stolen; she did not go of her own accord, as did Alma.” “Yes. She assisted me to escape, and. as our attempt was discovered before she cpuld return to her apartments, it was necessary for her to fly with me. On the Caspian the hayboat met with disaster, and Alma and l were left on it alone. We drifted all night. shiver- ing with cold and hunger. In the morn- ing we found ourselves under the how's of a long, black boat belonging to the ameer of Bokhara." “You speak of Alma J urnlefl, niece of the colonel." “Not this time. It is being used to carry Alma Jamie! and Koura Blar- telkls to Bokhara.
