The immu nity granted Durban was in itself a sufficient reason why he could give no favorable response. He replied In a calm tone, saying that the nature of the proposal was unexpected to hira, that in order to secure consideration there must be a guarantee that the khan, Prince Kilziar and the others named would be treated as prisoners jf war. but even so he could give no hope that a surrender would be made. He was proceeding toward certain sug gestions cf his own when suddenly, to the surprise of everybody. General Panin interrupted him and burst into a violent harangue, denouncing Kilziar nd his associates in unmeasured terms and with epithets that seemed quite foreign to his nature, as his previous speech had disclosed it. His own officers stared at him In amazement, and Darrell. standing in the darkest shadow to avoid recogni tion by C.etehikoff. knew not what to expect.

RINCESS VERA re ceived General Dur ban's report with a calmness that would have done credit to a been brousrht down to her military workshop, and she look ed pitiably ill. Behind her stood the tall amazon whom Darrell had seen on the veranda in Vladikaukas, and the face of the stern and formidable old woman was deeply lined with anxiety. "This is mere weariness." said Vera. "It is possible that I may have over taxed my strength. I am resting to prepare me for the work that must come tomorrow. There is plainly but one course for us. Your report makes that certainty doubly sure. We could not surrender our comrades In arms even if our case were ten times more desperate than it is. We must break through their lines." "We have no .alternative," replied Durban. "Heaven prosper us!" "Our plans are already made," said Prince Kilziar, who was present with several of his most trusted officers. "I wish, however, that we could delay their attack for twenty-four hours." "There Is no possible chance of It," answered General Durban. "We may as well dismiss the thought." "Your pardon, general." said Darrell; "I have reason to believe that I can ac complish so much at least. I am in a position to exert personal influence up on General Getchikoff." cf in . i a , f, L f h ?PeU,Dg, f tbeiese hey had been on terms of armed neu- -wL , tv,Q Q I - j lin. uaiui c J i iuu L i ii ii ii ence?" asked the Drince.

"You will not get It from him." growled Kilziar. "I think we waste time." Darrell merely bowed. He had caught the eye of General Durban and was satisfied by a glance that he would have no obstacle put In his way when ! the conferees should meet again on tne morrow. Vera had seen this by play, and sue also remained silent. Durban presently withdrew and Dar rell with hhn. They walked together in silence toward a point of the fortifi cations which commanded what must be the field of their endeavor if they should make the attempt to cut the Russian lines. 7 7" .

I Darrell spent a part of the evenimr in ! searching for Kevski and the balance in hard smoking and harder thinking. Somewhat after midnight he betook himself to bed and by the exercise of great determination went to sleep. He was awakened shortly after day break by a hasty summons from the princess. She w-as dressed in her mili tary uniform, even to sword and dag ger, but when she attempted to rise from a chair upon Darrell's entrance . she fell back again, lacking the strength I to stand. Behind her stood the ama zon. hollow eyed, ghastly pale, the pic ture of despair that is too proud to be afraid. Vera looked at Darrell steadily for some seconds and then said with dire brevity: "Prince Kilziar has left Gredskev." Darrell was stunned. "In the night?" he cried. "1'es: in the night." "He has deserted you!" exclaimed Darrell. "It is more' than I would have accused him of." "Let us do him justice," answered Vavo ot-niTlrm TT J 1 o follow him.
