Appeared ia a direction opposite to
that from which we entered.
If Mr. A very ha I sec:i no oppor
tunity to escape from the horrors of
this island ia twenty yours the
prospect before Miss Aruolil aud my
nolf began 1o loul; very dark. But it
would not do t give way to despair
before her. She must lie assisted in
her noble efforts to Iib brave and
calm. We fton I bilking in low tonus
fur several minutes, when wo heard
footsteps on tho stone llo.ir of the
cave. 1 heard the genllo step of Mr.
Avcvy ami tho heavy trend of a iut.
From another section of tho cave they
appeared, Mr. Avery walking aluu 1
with another lamp. After him eamen
nun of stalwart build, lirotvii-skinued

face, in hid hull Is ho eiiriie 1 two

When this man had set down the
chairs ho advanced to Mini Arnold,
nud Ratting down on ouo knee, ho
took- her hand and kissel it. He
saluted mo in ho sumo manner, much
to my amusement. Mr. Avery, how
ever, stood silently and gravely assent-in-.;
to tho homage. I divined that it
was a part of the plan he had mentioned
but had not uniolded to us, to Iiqvj
these simple people regard us us
supernatural li. i n When tho giunt
kisse 1 my hand to! uttered the word
"Dole!;."' 1 learned afterward that
tiki word meant, in the Itutiva limtlnge,
''.-' r. ior," or "Deliverer."
'T,et O.-o-ll.nk eoino with two more
clifiirs," said Mr. Avery, in a ton- oi
mild authority. To my surprise tho
brown giant, seemed to understand
English perfectly, and bowni'j low,
inaivil out. The tact lio nndesstood
English was not surprising-, for Mr.
Avery, during his twenty years' resi-ilen-o
anion;' them, had t.iught many
of these people the language.
'I don't understand where thai fel
low ei'.ne from," I said iua bewildered
wiy. "Von havo a fashion of spring
ing out of the earth hern that in posi
tively uncanny. And where did tho
chairs cuittc from?"
"Thero is another fiiant and two
more chairs," said tho Englishman,
with the nearest approach to guytty
which 1 had yet heard from him. And
it w:t so. A lain of groat stature
came in, bringing two eliuii .. He ro

"I oil luit tell yon," said Mr.
Awry, ' that this cave lms two en-trn'iee-j.

I have hud a passage dug from it into
lay own cellar. Neither tho cave nor
the Mihierraaeau river-bod is stis-pe-t

"I! v far is ( lalneor from here?" I
n"!;ed, "J saw no house when I was
in tho tree."
"No, you could uot see tboni, though
they were uot far away. They lie be
yond tho forest trees "
Again tho heavy tread of tlu two
pii'.nf i hounded in the eavo, and they
cams in hearing a taldo aud some
ili.-h-s,
I res. il vol to speak to thein.
"Whit are tho nanus of our friends
here, Mr. AvtryV"
"Oo-Barl: and tiuru-Saak," he re
plied. 'idi-Barl; and (iarit -Saak," I said,
'we thaukyon for your kindness. Will

Both giant sbuwe 1 aud marched out.
t was astonished. "Why, t hit.
fellow speaks bettor English' than I
do," I said.
"lio is very capable," replied Mr.
Avery, "and ho is proud of his
knowledge of English. I have taught
him all ho knows."
"Wonderful! wonderful!'' T ex

Mr. Avery smiled. "If ioy wishes

"Whit! Have you more like
these?"
"Ves, plenty. They! are iu truth

thera is hardly a man among them who
is not rujfld uud powerful. The one
other who equals these ia Intellect is
called Bedo-ltor. His Lome is iu
Bromporrah, the farther city, aud wo
do not see much of him."
A gentle footstep, like that of a
woinau, was now heard, aud a woman
it was who cauio toward us. She
saluted us both "ii eiuet'.y the saiuo

tare lor yon to tie in any place but tiiti

for Miss Arnold to have a woman win
can tall: English with her as a com
panion. "
I thanked the old man for his fore
thought.
"Now I want lo show you," sub:
Mr. Avery, "what kind of human
heings these are wko are kept iu this
soul-killiug slavery. Just cxainiuu,
that tablecloth and see if it is not a
clever piece of work."
Miss Arnold and I carried tho
cloth to the lamp and closely ex
amined it.
What would you say it was?" asked
Mr. Avery.
'".Silk," I replied unhesitatingly.
"No; I idiould cull it linen, but of t
marvelous texture," said Miss Arnold.
"It is neither. You havo perhaps
heard of China-grass, out of which the
grass-cloth luudkercliiefs sold in Paris
uud London nro made. A similar
grass grows here. It is, correctly
speaking, not a grass, but a liber.
The cloth is formed by twisting tho
threads, fust into long pieces nud
then into plaits, and subjecting them
to a weaving process known only to
these people. You will notice it is
nearly transparent in some places,
while in others there uro various
lityures, such us Mowers, birds and uni-
in. ii". It i.s uo rude people who do
that work.
"fudeed not!" I exclaimed. "It is
diainofiil to think of these people be
ing iu bondage. Have tiicy never
struck for liberty?
"No; their spirit i.s broken. They
hc.vo no alternative but to slave for
their heathen masters."
"Is there uot a moment when the
vigilauoo of tho guards is relaxed?
Never an opportunity to strike a blow?
Mr. Avery smiled sadly.
"What would they strike with:
There i.s not a weapon on the isluud
ruvo those in tho possession of our
masters aud these of yours. Aud iu
tbi'Jforlrcfs of tuiental there are thou
sands of Chinese cavalry."
"Itut can they keep titty thousand
of a noble race in abject slavery ' It
is preposterous?
Mr. Avery shook his head.
"Wait," he haid. "You are an
American aud think of lighting an nn,
easy way to overthrow oppression, bn
you do not know the awfulnossof tho
condition in which these people really
nre. Why, to murmur aloud is to be
shot for treason.''
My blood was tip. I was lagiug
within me.
"13y thunder, Avery, T'll have that
ticiid in hot water before I've been
here twenty years!"
"13o cautious! Bo cautious! There
is much to bo hoped for from your
American energy, but you must bo
careful."
"So I will," I paid. "Careful to

CHAPTER XI.
.Uli KMOItR HAS A TLA.
Tho following day Mr. Avery ws a
welcome visitor. He came early to
breakfast. Iu fact, ho brought the
breakfast with him. The womuu ho
hid given Miss Arnold as a companion
attended solely to her wants. Auothor
woman of tho Jumars, sad-faced and
silent, waited upon the missionary aud
myself. The coffee was f-till hot, show-;
iug that Mr. Avery s stove, from which.
,t came, could not be very faraway.
"Are all the women here as sad
ooking as these t-o?" I asked.
"Yes all. The story of these
women is but tho story of ueaily nil.
It is true, many have their husbands
left to them, w hile the brave husbauds
f these fell lighting for their homes.
I'weuty vears ago, when the Mant-
eboos invaded this island, these
women were happy wives aud mothers.
Each had two cluldreu a boy and
a girl. In the bloody battle
that was destinod to bo the last fight
of tho Jumars or the Kaleks, their
husbands were cut down by the ruth
Itss hand of the Chinese conqueror.
Then the children fell under the eye
of the tyiant, and he took them away.
The boy i f one, she who is now with
you, struggled to remain with his
mother, and so enraged his captor
that he was killed before his mother's
eyes. The girls have never been
heard of since, and, doubtless, are
dead. But the other boy. little (ior
?ret, son of my serviug-woman,
Haukauuau, was tuken into tho palace
of Quicntal as a slave. Once, long
ago, we heard from him, and siucj
tbeu his mother has uot hud ouo joy
ful moment. At times she breaks out
iu lamentations, and at others she is
as you see her now, silent, stern and
sad. She pictures her darling boy a
suffering torture at tho hands of lib
fruel uiasteiv, aud sometimes is Iran
tie iu her grief. I am very fearful
that tho rhiucse soldiers will hear
her and understand the curses she
.alls don on the head of Governor
Heu-Ko-Hi. Death would be hei
otiuishnient. "
"How terrible!" said Miss Arnold.
'This i indeed a sad country."
"It i.s indeed," replied Mr. Avery.
"There are sad hearts iu Galueor and
iu liioiuporrah. One story of wrouj
is but a type of a thousand others
The place is scourged."
"Where are our fiiends Oso Bark
ind Ciavu-'-iaak?" I asked.
"They are at their daily labor.
Oeo-Berk is a farmer. His 'place in I
aot fur from hero. That milk you put
jnto your calico was from his cow.
To obtain for lao such luxuries as
these, bo is compelled to resort to
stealth to steal his own products, iu
fact. The tax-gatherer of Ifen-Ko-lli
is always at bund, and Oso-Hark is
ouo of n uuiuher of farmers who must
furnish the table at the governor's
palace. And (iuru-Sauk is at tho
miues. He lives on tho other side of
(iulueor, near tho road to Hiompor
rub. His prodigious strength makes
him very valuable to his masters, uud
for that reusou ho escapes tort uro
that would weaken his splendid
frame."
"Hen-Ko IIi lias the grace to leavo
you at loust out of tho list of task
doers," I ventured.
"Not he. I, too, was a laborer at,
tho mines, but I was ton feeble to
pleuse my taskmasters, and I was
punished. Xow I am helpless. My
arm was burned until it became
a shrunken, useless stick. Ah, tho
cruelties of the Mongols'."
He opened the bosom of his shirt
and showed us a sunken breast,
hearrcd with frightful gushes uud
burns.
"I, too, have suffered," ho s-aid
calmly.
1 could not behold that sight and
retain my composure. I rose from
Iho table uud juiced backward and for
ward in the eavo.
"And is there no hand to smite this
murderer?'' I asked sternly. "Is
there no vengeance in Gods will?
Cannot the pruyt rs of those who pray
trustingly prevail against this monster
of crime V"
"Wo must be patient," said tho
aged sufferer. "Uod knows Ho is
ever wise. I have prayed twenty
yeiirs for release. Eveu death would
bo a grateful boon, I endeavor to bo
meek and to await Ood's pleasure, but
I four that I iiDi not without vengeful
feelings, t'lickmore, old us I uiu
Christum minister as I am there is
yet in my heart a desire to so the
punishment that is duo meted out to
this murderer of (iod's people."
"That is but nuturul," I replied.
Then stopping in my walk and stand
ing beforo him, I continued: "l!ul
you cautioned mo agaiust rashness.
You conjure mo to he patient to wait.
Wait! L'orwhat? Ibscovery is but a
question of time, aud then as a mutter
nf course, death. You have waited
twenty yearn to what purpose?
Would yo'i have mo wait twenty
more'.''
"If you must. Of what avail to
lo;;e your lil'o iu a vain eil'ort to es
cape?" "Hotter that than be killed doing
nothing. Oh, if I only had Lungstou
hero to help mo! .His brain is nice
fertile in expedients than mine. But
I fear ho will not seek us here."
"You have not told mo tho story of
your shipwreck what, brought you to
ibis uugodly part of the earth," he
said.
I told him tbo story of Annio r,als
ton and the search for her. I related
t'ully my Misfortune at tho hands of
tJambok Snell and of my subsequent
ndventures, the meeting with .Miss
Arnold, the killing of Sntdl a:-d Cha
l-'ong, aud our landing iu the Sa-jrcc'
lorest.
While I spoke the old man listened
earnestly. When I had finished, he
sat a moment in silent thought.
"Cricktnore, " he said, raising his
bowed head, "there in something in
ill this tbut bids me hope. A liyhl is
breaking over me. It was a I'ortuuate
thought that of fastening tho beliot
;f tho Jumavs that you wero a de
liverer come to their rescue. Let me
think. Nay, it i.s useless. I leave it
in your hands. I um old and feeble.
My strength in gone. You must work
out tho solution of the problem iu
vour own way. But bo careful! Oh,
bo careful !"
In this way wo passed most of our
time. Mr. Avery was ot'teu with us
durui' tho day, and iu the evening,
having finished their day's work,
Oso-Hark aud (iaru-Saak would
come with bim into the ea. e
aud would talk to us of tho past glo
ries of Talmooah. t grew very fond
of these Jumars. Oso-Bark especially
impressed mo us a man of chility. Ho
was thiuker, nud I found that his
words were generally wise ones.
Ono evening, as wo all sat, as was
our habit, in tho cave, I throw a
bombshell of surprise among my
friends. It was about a month after
Miss Arnold and I had taken up our
abode with Mr. Avery. 1 had been
studying the language of the Juiuarn
under tho efficient teaching of the
missionary, and I was now able to
mako myself understood in their pe
culiar tongue.
Wo were speaking of our presence
on tho island and tho passive condi
tion of captivity we were iu.
"Mr. Avery." I said, "is there any
thing on tho island that will dye to
the exaH color of tho .luiiiar skin?"
"I'm sure I don't know," replied
Mr. Avery in surprise. "But why do
you ask?"
"I am very anxious to know," T an
swered. "Perhaps Oso-liurk cau tell
me."
The question was repeated to him.
"Yea," ho replied, in th native
tongue, "thero is n tree that grows on
the mountains, tho bark of which will
stain the color of tho .lutnar skin?"
"Will you get me some of that
bark?"' I asked.
"Certainly, Oolek, I will obtain
plenty for you."
"lint what ia the world do you
want of it, C'riokmore?n asked Mr.
Avery.
"I am goinij to stain my fkin," T
sai I "I am (."jiug to become a Jumar
aud go where the Jumars go."
'Yon! Why, you will be discov
ered and killed."
"X. 1 will be neither discovered
nor killed. 1 wiil bo free. Friend,
