Mr. Avery heaved a sipjli.
"Well, Crickmorc," he said, "yon

"Xot more limn I nm here," 1 ro

Tim weight of the subject was too
much for evei'yh. ,.ly. Alter a i'lttilo

As tiny were leaving, I once more ro.

"That, t.io, Oolek," ho sai l, na 1
they were gone.
"What in this dangerous tiling you

1 had taken my first meal with Mr.
Avery in his own house. It was my

I ..i.-. as liiown as O. o-lhirk hihisell',

Spr.i-taii-lilie c.iliu:i- s of ( 'urn-Sunk.
The corrov, fill li:iiiiv:'.lil';i:i knew i,m
ni once, and Imu.!.: constantly over mi

"My ;' io. I llankauna i," Mr. Aver
had said, "do not annoy our jjiie.it.

"Ah! Is he not the Hoick?" s!u

I i-i.eiuded to Mr. Avery not t

w hich she beiieved me t be investe .1,

"lie eaiin, my (jood iraukanna.i, b

nil her head. "All iu fjood time. I.'
your (iurret is now at t,luieutal, fe.u
not that you shall not see him ii-jain.
It is not time now -but soon."
As I have said, after our lueul, we
Stood on the porch.
"Crickiiiore, you arc -playing a dar

but whatever it is, there is ilau jer in
it. I do not seek jour eoiitidoliees.
When it is time, tell mo what is to b

"My plans are yet very crude," 1
answered. "Kvcrythuii; depeuds on

Cuiliuor was not unlike some of the
rptaint old cities to bo found iu Span:

x striking dilVerenco bet ween it and
any iiuuint old city J had ever ictii.
It was cleaner and more healthful.
We walked through the Street o:

innl woman seemed to bo bu:y.
! "Now, there is a house I like," 1
' aid, pointing to one a little larger
1 than the others. "Jt is, ia its way,
i imposing."
"lha:, said Mr. Avery, "is the
residence of the greatest living .'titear
uoiio other than our friend (larii
Saak. Ho is now at the mines. See
those mountains beyond? There hi
is al work, i'ut Lis wife must bo at
home. She is never anywhere elise.
Let us go in."
Mr. Avery ascended the steps lead
in,; to the wide orch, and without
ceiemony opened the door.
"Come, my good w ouiini," he called
out iu .luiearese. "You have a guest.''
At til: t there was no answer.
"Sho is prolubly iu tho -rui'del).
Come, Anna line," he called out in ii
lotiib r tone, "w j want to see join

"Ah, tho Rood teacher I Is it you?'
asked a penile voice.
The woman c.uue in and bade us I t

"I was busy," (ho sail. Then,

In this way wc went through Hal

hut we followed him iusi ie. T apple
bended that something was going
wrong.
In tho living-room of Oso-Dark's
lioilso there sat a Chiiusei oilicer aie'
tiulf-n-ilo7.ru soldiers. I'tawu up I

his sword and wautotry pricked Mr.
Avery's arm. 1 made a motion tor
ward. J was going to knock ti lis-
creiint down. Mr. Avery held mo
back.
"You would ruin all," he said. "!.
not be impetuous, 1 am accustomed
to such ns this."
My own turn came, and I too felt the
ollieer's courtesy. One of the soldiers
kicked mo as ho passed. My blood
fairly boiled within me. I wondered
how the fellow would act if ho knew
ae was kicking an American.
"llow much longer shall this fii
liire!" moaned Mr. Avery when the
lends had depin led.
"Not longer than !od Almighty
withholds from mo the power to bring
;heso fellows ilowu," I replied,
.'avagely. "That was a rascally act.
Jiut wo shall have our day. I'ut I am

"Not nil," replied the .Tuniar. "F

"J drink to tho downfall of Jleii-Ko-lli,"
I said.
"May it be .men," aided Mr. Aver v.
"After dark," I continued, turning
'.ii tho J lunar, "1 want you and (hiru
Sauk to o ilo t i tiio cave. I havo
something to say to you."
"Wo will he there," lie sai 1 simply.
On our journey back to Mr. Avery's
house wo passed a guard. Ho was
'mounted on a lino horse, and as ho
rode along ho gazed ut us impudently.
"1 wonder w hat that fellow w mild
give toliud you out," said Mr. Avery.
"It. would make him u general at
least."
"Is there danger of treae-herv?" I
.sked.
"Not ft bit," he' said, with emphasis.
'If tho 1-hnpiro of China Were tho
jribe, no Juuiar would bo bought."
"You will come to supper with me,"
said, when wo reached his house.
"1 want to talk to yuil about soai"
liiing." "Very, well, I am at your servic,"
ho replied.
We passed into the cellar and then inln
Iho underground passage. From this
passage w o wont into the .-.iibterraneau
.iver-bed a wide, smooth roadway to
die sea. The sides oi this extinct
ivaterwuy were very steep and high.
"It is of this place I wi.-h o speak,"
said, pointing around mo into too
.duck depths.
"And of it -what?" asked the mi:
jiouurj. "Wo must now begin active1 w.-rk.

"It can bo done, but it is danger

risk nothing we gain nothing. We
.ill I see what the .lumars think of it."
"They will iigreo to u-ivibi" g you

of vour plan."
"I make no promises. I can do j
nothing alone. If 1 have t.io united j

"Ah, you aie safe." sail Mi-ij

of the euvo whore she had her abode. I
"I hive been imagining all sorts of

venture brought no liana to yi u."
"It has bi ought me mine of an

"Has tho good II. mi. aim. iu brought

"Yes, jood .-oul that sh.! is. Sho
has been hero two or tiiteo limes to

Mr. Avery was scon at this or that
place. Of course, I know that if ho

"t hat is a long timo lionee," said
Mr. Avery.
I did not reply to this. The old man
,vas the victim of tho luck of eou
i donee, that ha I held tho J Ulnars dow n
or twenty years.
After supper, Oso -Hark, true to his
iroiiu.-o and habit, appeared iu tho
