If we were aught consulting, our lives would not be worth ten minutes’ pur- chase. ‘Look here, Baruk,’’ I said, “I am thy friend. What is the fairs ? Tell it clearly.” ‘May I never be in such a position again,” groaned Baruk. ‘Hark you, we deal with treachery and cruel lan- ces. What is our blood ? What is the spoil and the state these women?

Now, look vou, i am a stranger. Thinkest thou I came here to rob? We help ourselves, good Baruk, in helping the Indian princess.” ‘She hath untold riches; she can recompense,’ murmured Baruk. “ Yet perchance when she was safe she would forget us.” ‘And if thou remainest ‘here, art not thou a bondsman forever ?

Sauntering cart Sly back to the fires, hi burned red end low now, I threw myself on the ground to ru- minate on all I had just heard. 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- fee and tobacco were the best on earth. 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.

Tabal. 1 will do the pilgrimage 2s a follower of the vrophet.” 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.”’ They call her Ranee.” “A pretty name," I remarked. “ Let us make her happy.” . Therefore as briefly and minutely as was possible with words I gave himself instructions both for Ranee and for himself. For- tunately the plicity of the plan of brothers sim attack enabled us to make our ar- rangements with confidence and toler- able accuracy. With the first blink of light we were On the lookout for the caravan, but the day had worn well into the after- noon before our sceuts brought wotd it was at the mouth_of the defile.

Tabal and If had many unsuspected thoughts, but as it would be unwise to express them and it was impossible to com- municate with either Ranee or Baruk we could Only wait in silent eae and faith, The pilgrims sent forward a party of half a dozen horsemen, and we were crdered further back. Suleiman him- rness rnes?; 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: vering nothing return- ed light-heamtedly to report the way clear. Then the caravan, wishing no doubt to get to open ground againas speedily as might be, swung its huge 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- pectation, horses 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- ven is eternal plundering. Almost be- fore the words of command were out of the messenger’Ss mouth We were 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- is vehement anger at the rough age, I maneged to get a word in Lvwais ear.
