CONTlSfED.
The leader of the high-priests began
a luonotoiis chant, bending his body
to aud fro, ami writhing iu rhythmic
contortions iu accompanitueut to his
chant. I hu'l crept to the ranks of
rumiuon priests and had taken my
place uiu'jnjj them. No one seemed to
notice uie. 1 was masked aud dressed
like the others, and looked the same
(11 tbo dim light afforded by the few
caudles.
luiumai half reclined upon her
Ihrlftie, tlio light of the caudles seem
ing to euhaueo her marvelous beauty,
tier eyes -were half dreamy, a they
wandered about the poor! lighted
grotto.
'Where is the successor of Lowai?"
asked a high-priest, in a shrill tone.
The question had as much effect ot
Kauiuai as it had on me. She rose to
an erect hitting position and shaded
her eyes with her hand as she endeav
ored, to penetrate the surrounding
darkness with her vision. I even
imagined I saw a look of anxiety or
the beautiful face.
"1 am here!" I said, in n loud voice,
that awoke the echoes iu the surround
ing caverns.
"It is well, successor of Lowai, that
you are here," said t ho leader of the
high priests. "Como beforo Kail
cuui." I stepped forward and stood un
masked before the beautiful priestess.
"What have you to say to Kauiuai,
lo prove your obedience to her com
mauds and the laws of l'ele';'' uskeJ
the high priest.
"I ha- o a'ready proven my devo
tion by the promise I have made.
will abide by it. All I can say id
Kauiuai is that she is more beautiful
than l'ele herself."
"What, you have seen P-Io?''
shouted the high priest, gasping ic
astonishment.
"Yes. I was with Tele in Huleakalo
for more than 11 year."
This seemed to stagger them. 1
thought 1 noticed a slight look (il
pleasure on Kuumai's face.
"That is enough." she said. "If the
BiuvosMor of Lowai has been with l'ele
a year, he needs no further tests from
inc.''
"lint how comes he as a new priest,
the successor i f Lowai, who has but
just died, if he was with l'ele in Hale
akalaV" asked another high-priest.
"Answer that, successor of Lowai,"
taid the priestess.
"I was not with I'elo ns a priest,
but in my travels 1 discovered her
temple, and sho bale me enter and be
Welcome. "
A murmur of (surprise went round at
this. It was plain that, as the form
er guest of l'ele, I was a greater mau
than they had before supposed.
"Return to your pla-e, successor of
Lowai nnd friend of l'ele," said the
bigh-priest. "Let the sacred one be
brought before Kaunmi."
Again, from some inner room, they
brought Winnie uud seated her bofois
Kunuiai.
It was evident that animal passions
did not enter into the forms of wor
ship of these fanatics. They treated
viunie with great reverence, because
sho was (going to be snei iliecd.
withdrew and covered my face with
my mask, fearing that if my sister
recognized me she would make anoth
er beetle, and 1 would be prevented
ir-iui successfully currying out any
plan I might have for her rescue.
The poor girl's eyes were red and
swollen w ith weeping, and sho sat in
the chair before Kauiuai, listless and
disheartened. Thuhigli-priests swung
a small urn of incense over her brad,
and they began a chant as they
marched around her. 1 did not fear
that they would do her bodily harm
then. Khe was held for one great
saerillee, nnd the time for thai was
not yet. I ha I noticed, when they
brought her iu, that they came from
tho direction in which lay .ny dun
geon. I wanted to see where they
kept her, nnd while their inarch was
in progress I crept away from tho
common priests, who were still kueul
iug, and lost myself in the darkness.
I worked my way round to my dim-goon-door
and waited there.
When tho ceremony was ended I
he'.rd them bringing Winnie, and I
hid myself where I could Heo without
being s )en. thin high-priest carried
a candle iu his hand, tho light of,
which enabled mo to follow their:
movements.
Winnie was led ton door in th" rock
not far from mimi a id was put into a
room that I judged to be next to my
dungeon. If it was so, then only n
wall separated us; but whether this
w all was thick or only a thin partition,
I had no liuwis of telling.
With my senses dotib'y a-utefro'n
Sssoeiatiiiii with daigcr, I began tii
tliiuk of a way to act throuta Ilia,'
wall". I recollected having seen on
t ie floor of the dining-teinple, or
grotto, a large piece of steel that had
vidently once been a great cutting
iistrnm?nr. I nutria 1, or. at least,
tried to hurry in tho darkness, around,
bisk of tho worshipers and out of the
(Vior. Il took but a mono-it to rush

With this I went back to my ilun
KOuu, laid the weapon awuy in the
darkest corner aud then stealthily ru
turned my place among the 2riests.
There seemed to be no method in
the wol ship of these people. They
kept up a form iu which l'ele played
l'.ie prominent part, but w hat it was
that I'elo demanded of them besides
sacrifices, it was hard to learn. After
;oino more chants and marches, iu tho
last of which the common priests, iu
t'ludiug myself, joined, they marched
forth and; Bo doubt, went to their
sleeping places, unless they took an
other meal before separating for the
night. As lor nl, I needed no sup
per. I was weary from loss of sleep
the night before, and anxious to be
yin work on tho wall.
Kauiuai went out, aud I sought my
dungeon.
A moment later I saw the fiickevin ;
light of a caudle coming toward me.
and heard the shuliling footsteps of u
priest.
"Here, successor of Lowai," he
said. "I have brought you u can lie
and a bed."
He threw down a mat for me tc
sleep on, and, leaving the caudle,
lighted another by it and departed.
I spread the mat and, throwing myself
upon it, was soon sound asleep.
t'HAPrr.I. XXL
I slept until one o'clock. When I
woke and looked at my watch 1 could
scarcely believe that so nni-di time
ha 1 clr.psol. I ruie from my hard
bed, rested, it is true, but sore at tho
:oiiits from tin; very hardness uf it.
I lost no time in getting to work.
Seizing tho steel instrument, be
gan pounding on the wall to see w here
tho thinnest place seemed to be.
In ouo spot tho detonation seemed
hollow, as if there tho wall might not
bo more than two or three inches thick.
I attacked it with vigor.
Lava stone, while hard to the touch,
is not a difficult stone to cut. I found
I ma le progress.
The noise I mode was considerable,
lurking away without regard to tht
countless echoes that thundered ubjut
inc.
Piece after piece of the lava wall
crumbled and broke under my repeated
assaults and fell at my feet. 1 worked
a place a foot iu diameter. If Winnie
was found to be on the other ride of
Hie wall, I could enlarge the aperture
enough to cuable me to get to her.
Hour after hour I worked, until the
muscles of my arms seemed ready to
refuse to move. Perspiration ponied
from me nt every pore. The hollow
iiess of the sound w hen I struck the
wall increased. Aud ns it increase. 1
uy energy increased, for hope came
.v it ti it. Hope of w hat, I knew not.
lint I thought if I could but get tl
Winnie we might do more toward re
gaining our liberty than by remaining
(separated.
At last, oh, joy, the point of thestee'.
went through tho wall, making a little
opening, perhapi half an inch wide.
I put my t ye to this bole, ain.
leered through.
It was Winnie's prison, sure enough.
It was a small room, not bare and
comfortless like mine, but comfortably
furnished with a chair, n couch and
t. titer comforts indispensable tohealth.
(In the side ot the room opposite no.
stood Winnie.
She was alone.
She stood with claspe I bauds, star
ing with frightene I eyes at the little
hole through which I was looking at
her.
"Winnie!" I called, to reassuro
her.
"Tom!" she cried, springing toward
tho plueo she heard my voice como
from. "Is it you, dear Tom?"
"It is. I have worked nearly all
night to mako a hole in this wall to
get to you."
"And I have sat here nearly fright
ened to death, listening to yon. If
they have, not heard you, it is fort
unate." "Suppose they have?"
"They will kill you, Tom."
"That's so. Hut don't let us worrj
about that now, while everything ii
going well. Wait ti;l I brealj
through."
I vigorously attacked the wall again,
Hid soon had a hole broken into it
ai re enough for mo to squeeze
through.
I clasped Winnie, hug-red her and
kissed her, aid she wept a little, I
suppose with renewed hope and joy,
"Have they hurt you?" I nsked.
"No. 1 seem to lie s.iered in their
eyos. Hut I nui to b. saciiiieed to
some deity called Pele. They keep
shouting that at me. Those horrid
priests."
"And Kauinai!"
'That beautiful terror! Sho is like
n goddess. She is grand. Hut she
must be cruel and heartless, for sho
will not save me. I have wept and
iiraye-1 and implored her to help me,
) it she always says the same thing:
The coiumiiuds of Pela must bo
iheyed.' Wlio is Tele?"
' A myth. There ara fonls who be
ieve she is ft goddess, liviug in Hale
t'iala, the extinct voleam of Maui.
Kauiuai is her piiestess here. And
I ie cranks and fanatics around her are
Tele's high priests."
"And what place is this? They dn
not tell me."
"This is l.auai. Yon havo beam
no iiiiik of it, a small island oil
Ueiokai." 1
And how is ilrar rid I'n-le Tour
'I'licle Tom is not well ut all, lit
is mourning for yon."
"Aud Mr. fiipiui'i (.urdoi;?"'
M)h, the genera'! The good Lord
iiitly knows where he is. ;uid how ho
s. (iordou is now commander uf tho
army. AVe have had a revolution.
The queen is not a queen. We aro
now u republic. Mr. 1'ole is presi.
dent, lint there is time enough to tell
you nil that, (iordou and I havo
limited for you unceasingly. We hiivj
feoured the country. Hut wo could
learn nothing until one day old Lowai
died""
"Old Lowail Tho scrvaut cl licclf
fum?''
"Yes. The same."
"He brought me here."
"The scoundrel! I am cr.rry ho is
dead. I wwuld like the privilege of
filling him. Hefore ho died ho told
ine w here you were, and made uie a
priest so that I could com hero au-1
lesene you."
"His sin was more than ho coull
carry to the grave."
"Apparently, but his work is on!y
fialf done. I got here nil right, but
how are we to get away? That must
be our study now. We must h;oU out
(or those high piiest; " hey nre in.
sane, every oil" of them. The others
lou t count. They iire weak-minded
fools who think they ' vov.-hiping
fomebo.ly by going ihro.i-'h their
foolery. An 1 K.-i imai I liou't un
derstand her. She is too beautiful
T'ld noble-looking to believe the ttlMl
they deal iu here, yet sho appe u s t
he n devout prie-tess.'
"She is, itideo 1. l'ele i her only
bought."
"l'lien there is little hope from that
quarter. We must stave it oil' suiio
how the sacrifice I mean until they
find ns. On the same day that Lowai
told this story (iordou learned some
thing. I do not know w hat it was.
He sent for luo to meet him. I tried
to do so, but ho had disappeared us
aiysteriously as you did. Dole w ill,
if course, huut for him w ith the entire
irmy. Aud eventually, I hope, they
will learn of this place."
"Wo must be careful." sai 1 Winnie;,
trembling. "It seems so good, Ton;,
lo have hold of your hand again. I
thought I would never see you again
live. Have I really been missed very
iiuch? It was tho same as if I had
lie 1."
"What a question! Don't you kno-.y
Itow foolish it is to ask that when I
tell you that Gordon and I have never
rested since you were stuleu away?
(iordou is wild about it."
A slight tinge of redness covered my
sister's pale cheeks.
"I would like to see L'nele Toin-
nnd Captain (iordou again," she s.ti
"Of course you would. And sn
would I. And I intend that wo botl-.
shall, if (iod is good and gives mo
power to evade these hearts here. Tell
uie how you live."
"I live here always, except while I
il'ii in the temple. hae plenty to
eat. t Fresh water for bathing is
brought every day by Kauiuai herself,
lint 1 know nothing of the place not
even w here it is, for I was blindfolded
when th"v brought mo here.-'
"We are iu the crater of Kapatoli, a
volcano that has not been iu action
these many years," I sai 1. I did not
tell her that there were signs of a com
ing eruption, it would do not a bit
uf good, and the additional worry
would be harmful.
Suddenly we wero startled by a
loud shouting somewhere outside.
The sound of shullluig feet came to us
throu ;h the hole iu the wall that 1
hal m i 1".
Then the d nr of Winnie's prison
was tiling i.pe i, and Kauiuai, mora
beaut if ll t'li'i eve", with llashiu ; eyc
a id heaving boso.n. stood before us.
"You are discovered!" sho said, t(
i manner that, betokened some cmo.
iiou other than rare. "The noise yo
ii::i do cutting the rocks was heard by
'.he high priests, and they have been
watching you. They will slay you
without mercy. t'omo with mel
There is no time to be lost!"
Snatching Winnie, who was nearly
'aiutiiig, to my breast, I showered
hisses upon her, au-1 then, putting on
my mask and foidiug my robes abouk
uie, I followed Kauiuai, who swiftly
ind stealthily led me, for sonn reason
host known to herself, out of the
cavern.
CHAPTER XXII.
Hoisclessly my beautiful mil mys
ferious guide swiftly glided iu among
the pillars of the vault and led mo
into tho darkness of tha caverns out
vide the temple and beyond the prison
ivliero Winnie was conlined.
I followed her breathlessly.

was a cliann. a mil ;iici ism about her
Juit compelled ine to obey. And iu
tho rush of thoughts through my head
upon tho discovery of my work uf the

prominent. 1 knew that if those uu

'ore they allowed uie to go free, would
