We were riotously merry. Phere was an abundance, it li a super- abundance, of food; wine flowed like

water in the rainy seas and the cof-

Suleiman, rising presently, went to see that the ladies were being proper- ly attended, and came back praisi t 7 ‘ { : I : tl it : princess. 1 smoked, looking up t the brightness of Orion, and said no- thine. But in my heart was tne quivering exultation of the schemer

Tabal was convinced, and we parted, to ignore each other very studiously for the rest of the night.

Near the dawn, when the world was black and men were heavy, Baruk re- turned to me. He had got over his wavering and was ready for the most desperate exploit

‘We will put on the green turban (the badge or sign of such as have performed the pilgrimage to Mecca) together, Baruk,” I said, joyfully, af- ter listening to his promise to help. “ Now, tell me the name of our prin- cess.”’

The pilgrims sent forward a party of half a dozen horsemen, and we were crdered further back. Suleiman him-

self, with one compenion to act as messenger, remained to observe, their Place of vantage being the hollow top of a great reck which projected. caus- ing a curve in the path below. Ly-

ing there flat they had an almost un-

interrupted view of the pass, and by deft clambering the messenger could reach our ambush without fear af de. téction,

Ta ke p us keen and in touch with What was going on Suleiman sent fre- quently to tell us of the movements of the horsemen. We learned that, passing right beneath his hiding-place, they rode to the head of the gorge, looked dutifully about among the rocks, and disc:

length into the defile and came trailing on like an endless serpent. Suleiman, watching it closely, sent back word to look to our and arms, as the prospect was glorious beyond his ex-

A little later the order for action made the blood tingle in our veins. Haif of us were to go to the foot of

the gorge and half to the head, so that the pilgrimage might be harassed simultaneously in front and rear, and so the readier induced to reli: nquish a part of their abounding riches. The response was as prompt as niet be

expected of men whose notion of Hea-

clattering off at a breakneck pace into sunless chasms and by beetling arch- ways and up and down dizzy steps that only robbers with no souls to save would have faced. Tabal and I were of those who went to the foot, and fervently we prayed the pilgrims might have a good courage and tirearms for distressed strangers.

In the course of a racking ride we came often into violent contact, and mn one of the collisions, while pretend-

‘TWIN TORTURERS!

Lumbago and Rheumatism made Harmless by Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Lumbago and Rheumatism cause endless pain and suffering. Every man and woman who runs chances of getting wet, or catching cold, is liable to suffer from one or both. Our hospitals are full of sufferers from these diseases; none are more pain- ful. Every nerve is on fire; every joint is a centre of agony ; every mus- cle an area of torture. To move hand or foot makes the victim shriek with agony.

Rheumatism makes more cripples than all the railroad accidents that ever happened. ‘Twisted, mis-shapen caricatures of humanity, who cannot walk without misery, are to be seen every day. The kidneys are to blame. Ifthey are healthy you needn’t fear Rheumatism or Lumbago. Dodd’s Kidney Pills keep the kidneys healthy and cure Rheumatism and Lumbago.
