'{ERY From the village a winding path led from the low shore land to a distant range of hills. Along this their prog- ress was rapid; but, arriving at the hills, they found a rugged, rocky road over which traveling was slow. The small horses of the Zannucks were sturdy animals and went unshod over the jagged stones that covered the nar- row path. The natives stared at them in amaze- ment. A Russian officer in uniform, accompanying their chief on terms of l'riemlship. was a scene they had never mntemplatml. Some thought Orskoff was a prisoner. though he did not act like one. Ilnrvey seemed actually to be theleadcu THE RIDE TO SILOON PASS. HE people of the village swarm- ed to ICJK at the strangers, .. ‘ who sedned to be of a race â€"â€":‘â€"‘~â€"u they I:oked upon as enemies, yet their chi t, Paipak, treated these men as friends. I’nipak was a chief who gave no explanations of his acts. and when he demanded horses for himself. Hidden among great knolls and se- questered in fertile valleys were little villages seemingly devoted to peaceful pursuits. I’loeks of the world famous sheep. the skins of whose lambs are sent to Persia, where they are made llllO garments or cured and sent to Europe and America, were browsing on the hillsides. All the herdsmen bore arms. One would have a rifle; another wore a belt in which two or three pistols were thrust; some carried the old time spear. Their garb was most picturesque. The turhaued Turk. the jaunty Circas- sian. the jacketed Greek, none of these t'niiltl mateh the gay dress of these hill- men. The ma d grew rougher and more dif- tieult. They climbed laboriously, stop- ping often to give their horses a breath- in: spell. (in either side the jagged l'Ot'kS rose to great heights and the irmizntains stood majestically about lmwtl by the nanu or man to sun tne purpose of defense.” “The reason is not that nature is grnzlging.” said Harvey. “It is that man is so stubborn that he establishes .his cities in places where they can be established. Nature’s fortifications are in places where no one ever wants to can Latter down.” “The trouble is,” said Orskoff, “that nature does this only where a fortress is hot necessary. When it comes to- gnzmling a city, placing a battlement upon a passage between two seas, na- ture 11m 3' he graéions enough to bestow a rock or two, but they must be fash- ioned by the hand of man to suit the g0.” “Except ourselves at the present time. Hello! There is a big town.” They had reached a high point in the i road and looked down a sloping stretch | into a v; lley, where a town was laid out that called forth exclaniations from both. Amid green and luxurious sur- roundings, on the banks of a little river that found its devious way into the Scythian gulf, this city of the Zan- nucks was laid out with a precision 1 that would do credit to an English or American town. li’ollmvingi.r the almost straight line of the river, the main street stretched a half mile. On this were the principal bazaars and market places, with drainage directly into the river. At right angles to this were other streets, with houses of stone or wood, ornamented according to the l taste of the owners, each having a lit- tle patch of green and fruit trees and garden. “Orskofl,” said Harvey, pointing to an elevation back of the town, “proba- bly the only thing this town lacks is good drinking water. I’d like to put up one of my windmills and a pump right there. I’ll ask Palpak for a con- cession when the other business is over.” “So confident are you in the success of the expedition that you can talk of windmills!” “I’ve talked windmills all my life. I made them when I was a boy. I can pick out a likely spot for one with my eyes shut.” 'Harvey was interrupted by the im- petuons welcome given to the return-‘ ing chief. “Hail, Palpak, Chief Of the Zan- “Let my brother Domitan, next in the nucks!” cried the people, men. women line of chiefs, who will be your chief and children rushing to surround the It I should die, explain his action.” party. “What hast than brought ' to All eyes were turned toward Domi- pay the terrible tax the ameer has we con. upon as?” . “0 enter, my mother," he cried. “an! - -‘- - -- .,_ it, ) W0! «l CHAPTER XIX. der those people cannot be said Harvey. “Nature has mm a fortress that no guns [counsumxl Cop’fla". 1m by l'.

In return I have told them that we would go to the Siloon pass and rescue the young women they love '0 well.” ants “We are ready! Horses will be brought from the fields! Great is Pal- pak, chief of the Zannucks!” Palpak waved his hands for silence and, assuming a serious mien, said; “Listcn, O my people! Bcfm'o we start I have something to submit to my captains. It was at the care where we hid the treasure. I had divided it according to my customâ€"â€" a portion to each of my brothers, a portion to myself, and the greater bulk to be brought here and divided among my people and to pay the tax demand- ed of us by the ameer. My brothers rebelled against my decision and, led by Domitan, attacked me to take my life. I was assisted by the American, as I have said, and then the Russian soldiers came and captured us all. But the crime of Domitan remains. It is the custom for the captains to settle upon a punishment.” “Kill him! Fasten him on t and place him high!” These cries came from all sides. Domitan turned pale. He looked ap- pealingly at Palpak, but the face of the chief was as stone. “O chief!" said a captain, rising. “It is well that the Zannucks know their chief to he nlwaxs safe. If he is i» d- 2' fix 0“ u brothers. then win: may we expect tram others? If these brothers have attempted to kill thee, they should be punished. It is the will of the people that he whom they love shall be protected and those who seek to kill him shall themselves be slain.” 7 “It is well spoken,” said Palpak. “Let my brother Domitan. next in the line of chiefs, who will be your chief “It is so,” said another captain, “but this took place far away.

On the road 5"...- w.-._ _, to the southward they formed, and it seemed a formidable array. First rode Palpak, with Harvey and Orskofr, mounted on fresh horses. After them rode a hundred men, divided in bands of twenty-five, each under a captain.

But their eyes did not meet as they spoke, for Harvey, who .was ahead, did not dare to turn his head. In crossing table lands they traveled In crossing table lands they traveled in sections, and Domitan often came up and spoke to Palpak. He had lost none of his surliness. Harvey could not understand why Palpak so easily for- gave the man who wanted to kill him. Orskoft‘ explained that he had talked with the captains and learned that Domitan was much admired for hi: many exhibitions of bravery. “It is a good thing for us that Domi- tan is not chief,” said Orskoff. “He hates us sorely.” Every | 0 Minutes They camped at night in a ravine, and the cooks of the companies pre- pared a meal consisting mainly of a smt of cake and coffee.

THE ATTACK ON THE CARAVAN. N the morning, after waiting and watching all night, the caravan was discovered slow- ly making its way along the pass. I’alpak called Harvey and Ors- koft’ to him at the edge of the cliff. “We will attack the caravan in this way,” he said. “My men are now di- vided, and one-half is under my broth- er Domitan, who is very brave and a good oll'ieer.

One reason why SCOTT’S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di- gested before it enters the stomach; a double advan- tage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos- sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health.

Domitan soon had his men under way. They took a winding path through the woods leading to the pass. “I trust there will be as little blood- shed as possible.” said Harvey to Pal- pak. “We want to get the girls, but do not wish to commit unnecessary murder. These soldiers are simply obeying orders. as your own men are doing.” â€"vâ€"â€"a_ “We will save your women, but the rest of the matter must be left to us.

Then came two camels, each led by a soldier. The first bore in its howdah the girl in- tended for the bride of the prince. Alma was in the second one. She still wore the uniform of the inspector gen- eral of prisons. Then came twenty more horsemen, a string of camels and mules hearing merchandise of all kinds and horses on which rode Turk- ish, Persian and Hebrew merchants. Silently Palpak led his men down a steep and difficult path. They waitat‘. in hiding till the head of the caravan was opposite. A peculiar cry from Palpak sent them dashing into the road. Palpak’s men had left their horses above on the cliff and were at a disadvantage, but they outnumbered the Bokharans. At the first volley three of the ameer's soldiers tell from their horses. A terrific outcry follow- ed, but the otficer in command was brave and calm and soon rallied them. They formed in a circle around the camels hearing the two girls, while the merchants and the camels bearing their goods scuttled for safety.

Palpak shouted out his commands and formed his men for a rush, but the ameer’s men were first, and the horses came dashing upon the Zun- nucks.
