When the two Chinamen reached
1he ledge leading around the e Igo of
the inlet to tho pit, the girl gave a
quick movement ami wreuohed her!

and Reeme.l to bo beside herself. J
caught sight of her face, and in spite
ol her dishevelo-l hair and tear
stained features', I fsw at a glaueu
that she; was very beautiful.
My fli-At impulse wan to discover
myself and rush to her assistance.
Jiiit upon reflection I decided UJnt il
would be nn unwise more. Even
though she were to be murdered i
could not help her. I would simply
meet with a similar fate for interfer
ing. These ineu were armed, it will
ithout !
lie remembered thai I wan
emit or shoes. I had no weapon ol
any kind. I would be a forlorn
antagonist for half a dozen armed
men.
When the uniformed mandarin
reached llui well and had gone down
a few stops, lu discovered the open
door. Although I had found the way
to open the doors in tin) mysterious
island, I did not know how to close
them. The t -i K Chinaman nude a
great a to a.vl gave some sharp com
mand. There were evident prepara
tions for a light. II" went down iutc
the cavern with his sword drawn.
They remained inside; about half an
hour. My position on the rock began
toeet wearisome, but the sailors
the vaeht were very watchful, nn
,j j I
dure I not move about. An ugly
looking fellow kut in the bow with a
rille across his knee. There was
little chance for speculation as to mj
probable fate if that fellow discovered
me.
After a half hour, T again heard
Toiecs in the well.
The big Chinaman ami his servant'
appeared. I heard the groat rod;
swing hack into p'.aee. Too girl was
not with them.
Now there was, indeed, a r a.
motive for remaining iiudis.'overe I.
My heart oven main too much noise
in beating. I almost held my breai'n,
no Rieat was my fear of being dis
covered.
The visitors descended the com-ianioii-!a
1 ler. It was taken down
from the iron rinns. Coles were put
out, and the yacht pushed out of tlm
atone gate. The rails were raise. I,
and the vessel moved quickly away iu
the tiirt'ciio'i whenc she had eo-ne.
I remained concealed for what
Deemed to me au interminable time. I
did not dare la.iv.i from my hidim.;
j.!:t?ii until the yacht had Rot fai

folbuvc 1 tho vessel w it'u anathemas for

At last I could vnluro forth. I
leaned from tho leti?e into the pit an 1
ran down tiio clone Meps. 1 knell
dow n and touched the hidden spring.
A;:'iu the mjsti.iious inland :e

but short work for me to get to tht

approached her softly. She could
nut hear my footM.q's on the thick
ru.
r.endini? over her, T touched her
lightly in the Bhoiilder.
With a scream of horror sho jumped
to her feet and bounded wuy from
lue.
"Yon need not fear me," I said.
'I will help you if i can, but I will
do you no barm."
'You'" she cried iu a hoarse voice.
"And who aro yon that you are her
alive and yet will help mo?"
"Why, I don't see anything remark
ablo about that. 1 couldn't help you
if I were dead."
"Set. Hut don't you understand?
None can live here save those who ure
fauiiliara of Cha i'ons; uudhia friends
vould not help me."
"I do not know Cha Fong," I re
plied. "I have never neon him, un
less he is the amiable person with the
li.j nword who brought yon here."
Her face grew palo. She trembled
Tiole'itly.
"Yea," that is he that is Ciui Kong,"
sho said.
"And what is he going to do with
yon?" I asked.
A look of misery came into her face,
and she nobbed convulsively.
"Tho worst he can do. lie fays I
am to be his wife."
"Well, now, look here," I said with
authority. "Cheer up and come sit
hero and toll mo your story, and I will
tell you mine. it may give you more
confidence if I tell jou mine first."
Shn came and sat down near me,
and her tearful face, pale and beauti

her the story of my mishaps and the

"Yeiy trt e. Crant, then, that the

tho one and the exactions of the othei
together, we have a combination thai
in deeid- l'.y against us."
Miss Arnold luruj I very white and
leaned against tho back of hor chi'i.
for support.
"Then," T continued, b:.stily, "as
everything seems to j'oint to murder
ous purposes on tlio part of those w!k
have us in their power, our pre.liea
ment provides ample warrant for an
act on our part toward the salvation ol
ourselves. What I am getting at, Mis
Arnold, is this: You want too to kil,
you to prevent your falliuir again int..
he hands of Cha Kong. My own way
to prevent that would be to kill Cha
Konj."
My lovely fellow-priaoner gasped u'.
the audacious suggustioii.
"Itr.t ho is ariueil he has armed
men with him. What can we do v,v
two unfortunates?" She ivas very
pa'.c.
"I wish there was nomo liquor ol
some kind here," 1 said. "I am afraid
you will faint."
She smilod in ruther a deprecatory
way.
"f am not going to faint," she re
plied: "but if you waut 'iqiior, I saw
Cha Kong drinking some that tie got
in there." Sho pointed to the alcove
whero stood tho bed.
"fn there!" I exclaimed. "Why, 1
thoroughly searched that place, but
could timl nothing in tho way of li
quor."
"Nevertheless, when Chu Foiig am
Uis two companions wore looking foi
roil, or for whomsoever the intrude!
acre might be, I saw them with bot
tles and glasses. That was before ths
,'ords that bound mo were cut, s I
could not get a good look at them."
"Now that is very strange," f said
"yet it is quite possible that there i;
t part of tins infernal plaze that I havt
not seeu. I will look again, and, per
aaps, we may fitid something more tn
Mir advantage. F.ven a good elul
would be id service. 1 could creep u;
behiud Cha Kong and knock him dowu.
I suppose I might cut one iu the gar
dee with toy pocket-knife a piece of
palm-tree would answ er. i!ut I'll look
!or that liquor first."
I went behind tho bronze screen
ind searched high and low for some
tind of receptacle thai looked as il
t might hold liquor. I saw nothing.
w nbA'u to giy up tat) (.mob,
when, r.s J was turning to '.-, the
iiinirti.-t-itt, I n-ci.b'ii'.aliy Licked up a
large, heavv rn, thai was spread o'.l
the flour. Ciller it 1 saw a panel in
the tloor in which was fastened uu
iron ring. 1 t mk hold of tho l in ; and
pulled. I; to-,k all my strength to
move th-j panel, but at Unt it cam.! up.
I found an up 'uing i i th" Ibur about
three font square. 'J'-ierj were some
sli-os leading downward.
1 uttered a shout of joy oud callel
Miss Arnold. Sho came running
toward me.
I have found something, " I said,
"but w hether it is a cellar or a store
house, 1 can't tell. i uui -goiu
down."
I descended the steps.
The place in whicli I ::ow found
myjelf was but dimly lighted. There
hud been no attempt at ornamenta
tion: it was simply a iiugj cavern in
tho rock. This cavern was strewn
with various kinds uf materia1, look
ing like packages t ak en from wrecks
or, jierhajis, stolen along the coast.
Roll upon roll of the I'm est silk and
linen was pile I up on one side. Case
of tho choicest pottery stoj.l uu
pscke 1, many of tho delica'.j pie -ji
broken. Oilier tilings were tiuro in
plenty, but I did not take time to ex-aniiu-i
them. I found two things.
(ne would of i'.'j'f have i epaid mo
for thi; search, for it "va" what I hi:i
com.? utter. I found li piors, w ines
and cordials, iu bottles und ca-ks.
Hut the oilier discjv.-ry meant mueU
morn to me than tlf li n jv. Jt meant,
perhaps, rescue -iife. It wus u large
cabinet, iii which were various;
weapons of wj; and of tho cli is.
linns, pistols, knives were packed
away iu goo 1 order. This wa. no
doubt, Cha Fung's armory.
Miss Arnold's a-t oiiishtu jut was so
great lhat I laughed at her wide
opened eyes when sho saw mu eui"rg
from tho hole in tho floor, carrying a
bottle of wine, a Martini-Henry ride,
an Knglish navy rsvolvor, a long
huutiug-kuifo and a bag uf car
tridge. "j am well lite l, you see," f sii l,
Ian-thing, us I d qiosite I my spoils o

"Now, then," J said. "I am going
to et ready to meet Mr. Cha Kong.
I!. i you Luow what time he intends t
return?"
"Not accurately. Hut hi expected
to be back to-night, for he said, when
he cut the cord i that bouu I ma iislp

"Ah, exactly! Now what kind of a

"Well, I d mbt if there is a S:l Koa

Cut succe.s.sfnl farming on a Hinder

thai the city girl makes n most ener

ing thnt a ciiy woman of fair inivili
l;i nc" and education can rent n little
farm ami miiiiipnlnte lis various inler
t'Ms aud products oftentimes quite lis
niccessfniiy as her country sister.
Olio reason for this Is that the city
woman thoroughly undiTMand the
lit i ds of different classes of people,
and goes iu for specialties to cater to
tin-in : appreciating the fuel, b, cans'
of her wcle range of observation In
the competitive market, thai iippuiir-mici-s

raisin,; mushrooms und Hitting sixty
cents a pound for lliei.i.
Outside of New Yolk there is a
wuiiinu who is laying up big money
ctl the sale of violets, und she, too,
.is a city woman who knew thnt the
rich would pay well for the biggest
mid sweetest blooms.
ltce keeping is another profitable
source of income for the woman filmi
er. The honey sells readily iu the lit
tle pound boxes iu which the bees
niiike It, or It Is strained mid sold to
wholesale druggists, und ns the wax
sells by the pound to the sailinakliig
