Obey me or thy life W311 go as did my brother’s.” "In”. “The other! Seize the other! Bind them both!” he cried. Alma and Koura screamed with ter- ror as they saw their gallant lovers al- most buried under the Zannucks that hurled themselves upon them. In a few minutes Harvey and Orskot! were securely bound. " .anuueks,” he shouted. “I am thy chief! Obey me thou obeyed my brother, and I will nuke thee rich with the spoils of the caravans.

Hgf'vey made a gesture as if to draw his pistol, and Domitan sprang upon him. vâ€"w' “Dogs of unbelievers!” cried Domi- tan. shaking his fist in their faces. “Thou interfered with my plans be- fore! Remember the cave! Now will I pay in good coin! Slaves, forever shalt thou serve me!” Harvey did not answer. He looked at Alma. The poor girl was trembling with terror, and tears were pouring down her cheeks. “Cheer up, my darling!” he said to her. “We will soon be out of this!” The clatter of horses on the road could be heard. and the force Domitan had left fighting came up. “We routed them well." said one of the captains. ed?” “1 am thy chief !” said Domitan. “But there was treasure in the car- avan! Where are the camels of the merchants ‘2" “Below. They fled. After them. and bring them back!" Fifty started, and the remainder pre- pared to bury the dead. It was now late in the day, and Domitan was ea- ger to get his caravan at the high way lest a returning force of Bokha- rans turn victory into defeat. “We have two of the best camels of the ameer,” he said. “We cannot take them up the side of the cliff. We must travel by way of the road farther up. We will arrange for the burial of the dead, foes as well as friends. Remove all trace of the fight.” Lâ€"That’s what a prominent druggist said of Scott’s Emulsion a short time ago.

Toonho By JOHN ROE GORDON After this delay Domitan ordered his men to move, and the entire cara- van, captured camels, horses and all. withdrew from the highway and made camp in the thick forest that formed the border of the pass. The horses were left upon the cliff in charge of a few men, and camp was made for the night. Plans for removing the booty to the Zannuck village could be made in the morning. Sentinels were sta- tioned. and a guard was placed over the two girls. Harvey and Orskofl‘, bound, were thrust under a bush and left there. Ҥh-h,” whispered Harvey. “Make them think we are sleeping.” “The fellow has anather piano" thought Orskofl. The hours of the night dragged wearily. The soldiers slept. and, not being accustomed in their wild life to keeping guard at night, most of the guards were asleep by midnight. Har- vey and Orskoff lay close together. A wriggling motion on the part of Har- vey attracted the Russian. In a mo- ment he felt a nudge in the side. Har- vey was sitting up, his hands free, in- dustriously untying the cords around his legs and feet. With a swift slash of his knife he set the Russian free. “Come!” he whispered. He crawled away in the darkness, keeping in the deeper shadows of the trees. Orskoff followed. Neither spoke for many minutes. They kept working their way in the direction of the road and away from Siloon. At last. having cleared the camp. Harvey stood up straight. beauutun. “There is my Queen.” he said. mint. ing to Alma. “The hem-man :3 Wm ful, but this one. this Muséovite, suits me. I will make her my wife.” “Not much,” said Harvey. “There’s going to be another deal all around before that takes place.” “This is terrible!” groaned Orskofl. “We have failed. with all our plan- nlng.” A meal was served, and the two girls were royally treated. A dozen soldiers waited upon them. “Dog! Pig! Be silent!” growled Domitan. “What is your plan?” whispered Ors- kofi breathlessly. “I have none except to get away.” said Harvey. “Free. we can do some- thing. Let’s walk along this road, and as we walk we can think." CHAPTER XXI. the "INS “I should say not; but with our feet and hands tied and we helpless in that camp we could not assist them. It’s this way: Uomitan is now camping in the woods. Ilis horses are on the cliff. According to what he said. there is a road farther up the pass by which he will take the camels to the mountains. If that rascal ever gets the girls into the Zannuck stronghold. nothing that we can do will avail. We’ve got to think of something to do now.” __‘_’,, “So? fighting will {not help us. We’ve got to win out by some trick.” “But what? ls it to fight? fight _to the last drop of blood!” - They sat dowh, and Orskot‘f leaned his head in his hands. Harvey bucame intent with his thoughts. “Hello!” said Harvey, getting to his feet quickly. “Somebody around here! Hear that noise? Sounds like a wound- ed man calling for aid.” “Must be one of the Zannucks or on. of the ameer's men who crawled here to get out of the w.ay ” “I’ III going to see who and what it Is .” said Harvey. “I can’t see fliend or enemy suffer; when helpless." They éoon diScovered a man. wound- ed by spear and sword. lying near the side of the road. “Art thou friends?” he whispered in the tongue of the ameer’ 8 people. “We have reason to be enemies. but we have no wish to harm you. Is there anything we can do?" “Canst thou bring water?” “I could if I knew where there was my,” said Harvey. “Do you know of I river or spring near by?” “Nay. there is none nearer than the Batoola temple.” “And what is this Batoola temple?” “A place for lamasâ€"priests of the monastery. There are many there. They are hospitable. It I could get there, they would know how to deal with my wounds." “How far is it?” “It is not far. It stands on the high- way. but is surrounded by high walls.” “How came you here?” “I was with the ameer’s men when we were attacked by the. Zannucks. I was wounded and crawled away from the pass, for the Zannucks kill all their wounded enemies. I could go no farther. ” “You came to a good place. The Zannncka are almost within reach or our voices. But tell me more about that Batoola temple. ” “A: I said, it is a lama monastery. There are monks of all kinds thereâ€" miuionary monks. begging monks, “m tlggy {I} _ maven of THE MO"ASTERY OF THE LAMAa. PRELY.” said ()rskoff. peer- ing in the darkness at the face of the American, “it is not your purpose to desert "We have work to do here,” broke in Orskofl. “We cannot give you the time." “You spoke of begging monks.” said Harvey. “What do they beg? How do they reach people?” “They walk along the roads and ask alms of all they meet. It is in this way the monasteries are supported.” “What do they wear? What sort of looking”â€" "W01; interested in monks!” inter- rupted Orskoff impatiently. “We have no time to think of them.” “I am thinking of them very hard just now.”_ "Again addressing the wounded man, Harvey asked: “I? 'hvat sort of garb do these monks wear?” _ “Cloaks and hoods. They are hum- ble and holy men.” “I’ve seen them near Lake Baikal in Siberia,” said Orskoft‘. “They cover their heads and faces so their own grandmothers wouldn’t recognize them.” “Oh, they do! And the monastery to poor, supported by alms?” “Yes,” said the soldier of the ameer. “You want to go there?” “I would live if I could be carried there.” “If we could make a litter of some kind, we mignt do it.” “We could manage with our coats to make a chair in which to carry him,” said Orskoff. “but we have not the time. We cannot forsake our duty to the girls for a wounded enemy.” Harvey’s voice was imperative. Ors- koff protested, but it was of no avail. He tied the sleeves of their coats to- gether and formed what he called a Russian field chair. The wounded man was then picked up. and the three started off. “We _are not forsaking the girls. 1 have an idea these monks can be of use to us. I want to see them. Help me make the chair.” “Tell me more about these monks,” said Harvey as they went along. “They are priests of the religion of Buddha-Sakymunl. They are good and holy men.” “Have I not heard somewhere that they are supposed to be gifted with the power to foretell the futureâ€"a sort of second sight?" “Yes. they have magic sight." “Are the Zannucks believers in these monks?" “Yes. all of them.” “How shall we know when we reach this monastery ’2” “There is a light at the pool. If I can be bathed in the sacred pool of Batoola, I shall be cured." “What pool is that?” “The life giving pool of Batoola. It Is just within the first gate. One who bathes in it is made holy and is given much power by the Dalai lama.” “Witch for the light. But the dawn ls breaking; we shall soon be able to see for ourselves.” An hour later they saw the stone walls of the lama monastery. “The firstxate is there." said the Bo- kharan, who proved to be a young, handsome fellow and seemed inclined to be friendly. .-\!l aged priest \'us coming toward :hem. followed by several others. The hum of the old priest was kindly, and as he examined .the wounded man Harvey x'atvhed him closely. “He's my man." he said. The old lama gave several orders. which his interiors put into exceutlon, and then turned away. Harvey inter- repted him. “How do we call them?” asked Har- vey as they reached the iron gate. ‘IThere ié a rope. Pull it, and a bell will ring.” Harvey pulled a rope that dangled from above, and inside a bell tolled twice. Immediately the wicket of the gate was opened. “Who tluis disturbs the peace of thiu holy city ‘2” asked a voice. The liooded face of a monk peered out at them. “A wounded soldier of the ameer who seeks thy help." answered the young {okharalr ”Enter." The gate was opened, and the monk wallied away. leaving the three at the edge of a large pool. Soon other monks in their peculiar garb. wearing hoods that hid their faces. came toward them, and the wounded soldier was laid up- ..-n a bed brought from the interior. \uwher wall could be seen, and in- side of this was a large building. "He shall he bathed in the pool by (illl' brothers.” said one of the priests. "The living waters of Batoola will surely heal his wounds.” 'l‘he gatekeeper went to lock the gate. “Nay. good father." said Harvey; “do not look the gate. When we learn of the effect of the bathing on our friend. We will proeeed upon our way.” "Holy one." he said as he walked by tlw old priest’s side, “may one who knows but little of thy race and reli- gion ask a boon ?” “All men may come to us and learn.” “It is not to learn, for there is not time. I wish to do that which perhaps is not according to your laws. Not far from here are wicked men, hun- dreds of them, who have stolen two young women and will perhaps harm them if we cannot rescue them. Two of us against so many are powerless. but we could do something by strategy if we wore the garb of your order. I have gold. and hereâ€"here is a watch from farofl America, here is a dia- mond ring from Paris; these will I give to enrich thy temple for the use of two such outfits of clothing as thy people wear.” , The old priest looked at him curi- ously. “This request never has been made before. I do not understand. Wouldst thou seek to harm us by a wrongful act?” to rescue young wo- “What are you after ed. “You and I are to become monksâ€"- old and feeble monks.” 'â€"â€" Orskofl staxed in amazement. His amazement grew as he saw Harvey hand over to the priest his expensive watch and valuable diamond ring in exchange for two outfits or the monk- ish garb. An aged priest was coming toward them. “These garments are new and have not been consecrated to our purpose." said the lama. “Take them. Remem- ber, thou shalt shed no blood.” “We promise, and we thank thee." With the robes and hoods they went out of the place. Harvey started at a quick pace back toward the camp. At a convenient place he stopped and said: “As soon as I heard of those monks it seemed to me that this was the so- lution of the problem. 'We can’t fight 200 men. My idea is to disguise our- selves and appear as old and feeble as possible, traveling in the same di- rection as Domitan’s forces. We will ask a lift as far as the Batoola mon- astery, and if the Zannucks are believ- ers, as the Bokharan said, they, will grant What we ask. The camels hear» ing the girls have the lightest burdens. and it ought not to be ditficult to get seats on them. Thenâ€"~well. let the rest take care of itself. We can tell what to do when we get there.” “I swear by the holy crown of the great white czar,” Orskofl exclaimed, “that you are the most daring and the most resourceful devil I ever knew! Did anything ever overcome you? The world is your plaything. You do what you will with all people. It I had asked that old priest for these things, he would have expelled me from the place.” “Well, you are a soldier. I’ve got to know how to talk or I couldn't sell windmills." “Talk! You could convince a man that he was a horse. It takes no great amount of talk sometimes to convince him he is an ass. This is the most sur- prising result ot your skill I have yet witnessed. Well, the thing is fascinat- ing. We will try it.” The Russian wondered still more at the resources of the American during the process of disguising themselves. The people of the region were. dark. With the bruised husks of nuts of a walnut tree he made an olive colored stain, which he daubed over their faces. With a pair of folding scissors he cut 011' the Russian’s mustache, bringing sadness to his heart. They made them- selves grimy with the. soil of the road and practiced the walk of feeble old men. So well did Harvey execute this act that Orskoff said they would be- come play aetors next. “\\'e are to permit ourselves to be overtaken by Domitan's army." said Harvey, “and ask to be assisted on our way. Let me do the talking. And. what you see me do, do also. I must plan as I go along, for after we join the Zannucks there will be no time." Slowly they tramped along the. road, and at last. judging themselves to be about half way between the camp and the monastery, they waited. “Here theycome.” said Harvey. “Be ready and keep cool. It will be the eflort of our lives." CHAPTER XXII. A RACE ron LIBERTY. OMITAN'S caravan came on m slowly, for the men were arr-v1 walking.

Haat thou no seat for us on a camel? I see there are two with apparently but little load." “It is well that thy presence augurc good." said Domitan in a sort of ex- ultation. “Those camels bear the one who will be my bride and the one who will be the bride of my brother. Sure- ly it will be well tor us it the holy, men ride with them. Come.” A GUA RANTEE TO CU RE. He went back to the camels and commanded them to kneel. “Holy companions wilt thou have. my sweet ones.” he said. “These holy men have blessed me, and I have made them presents. I shall win great victories." Harvey got into the howdah by the side of Alma. and Orskofl, with ap- parent teebleness, climbed in with Koura. The camels rose to their feet again, and Domitan proudly led on. It was not every day that a Chieftain had two lamas in his caravan. Orskofl was fldgety. He knew that when they reached the monastery they would be expected to leave, but he had faith that Harvey would surmount the difllculty. He saw Harvey scanning the sky and mumbling and making peculiar signs. Harvey called to Immi- tan, and the chief rode back. “I see mysterious signs in the hem. ens," said Harvey in a manner that would inspire awe. “I see but an hour’s ride from this spot a hand of soldiers of the ameer coming to givv .VOU battle. They are mighty men and amn- ed. I have blessed thee, and therefore thou wilt surely win. But these tell- der children must not be taken into danger if thou wouldst have them for wives.

The caravan came to a halt.

We will olwy thee. holy one. leaving only Chongh to guard thee." “Now. you gallant Russian!" shouted Harvey as he turned his camel and gave it a prick with the blade of his knife.
