It wks rumored that Vera also had tied, and the soldiers cursed their leaders and raved in despair. When Durban returned with news that a general parole would be granted, with supplies and protection for the return to Circassia. the army could hardly credit the report. Durban be came an idolized hero, but he was un able to endure the false light thus cast upon him and turned it frankly upon Darreil, the American Lastly a rumor went abroad that it was the princess who, by thwarting Kiliar and sur rendering herself into the Rassians hands, had saved her soldiers from the "sword. Vera's illness gave color to the story, i She was. in reality, the victim of a ' complete mental exhaustion. She had ! let go her hold upon reality and lay j upon tier couch all day. dreaming and talking of days am? events long past. It was feared that her reason was ut terly gone, and upon that account alt ! news about her was suppressed.

A shot from a knew the exact facts, that Vera's pres- concealed guard would not have sur ence in the citv should 'i.- nnknon n. I Prised him. but it did not come. The truth was revealed to Darreil, and he could almost have found it in his heart to be glad. "Her mind will return gome day," said Darreil to the gray old general. "If you are with her tbeu" "I shall te always." he interrupted, "until my service is no longer desired." "Tell her." said Dirndl, with tit.rs in his eyes "tell her I was f.h eheerful est Yankee you ever saw and that I was happy because I had been able to do her a siaal'- service iu tbe hour of need." "Yankee?" repeated Durban, for tbe word had been untranslatable. "It's a name for my people." an swered Darreil. "But I forgot 1 am Motiir'n Khan." On the ninth day. the Circassians be ing nearly all en route for their coun try, a small part of the Russian force escorting General Getchikoff took the road northward toward Vladikaukas. Th-ir start was delayed, aud they met with many obstacles, so that at night fall they were passing through a vil lage about in Ul way between the two cities. The greater portion of the force passed on. but the general and his im mediate entourage took up their quar ters in the village, which was called Meldek. Darreil had made (he journey in a covered baggage wagon, otherwise empty, ruuch like an animal belonging to a traveling circus, but he had really nothing to complain of. He was com fortable enough, and fetters were con sidered mnet'ssary. though he was in formiHl that Kilziar and his friends were not so fortunate. Arriving at the village. Darreil was confined iu a room of a small house, where he was served With a very scanty supper, but as he was granted the luxury of smoking afterward he entered no complaint. lie was nearly ready for sleep when, to his surprise, two soldiers came and led him to an other house, seemingly without pur pose, for the quarters did not differ in any particular that he could per ceive. "You have been very badly fed," said ' lards. "The general ; one of his new guar heard about it and raised a row. Here is another slipper for you " If Darreil had not been so careful in the written instructions for Gordon which tie had given to Getchikoff in pursuance of their agreement, he might have seen something suspicious In food -thus offered, especially when accompa nied by a small bottle of good wine. Though the chances were that Darreil would be shot in Stavropol, he. had no wisli to Ie poisoned or otherwise dis posed of on the route, and he had ex plicitly provided in the agreement for an open execution or none at all. Being satisfied of Getcbikoff's good faith in the matter, he ate the food and drank the wine, and when next he became aware of his own existence it was broad daylight, and he was lying on the floor, having apparently fallen out of his bunk. His head ached most distressingly, and his senses were dull. He could not even wonder at the absence of guards. The principal object of interest for his bedimmed and struggling Intellect was a large knife which stood up straight from the table Where he had eaten his supper. Even while lying on the floor he could see the end of the knife's handle, which shone in the sm, uun tne tiling seemeu oau. lie arose with some difficulty and stood staring at the knife. It was really a dagger of rich workmanship, the hilt" incrusted with small but tine gems. v V era's!" he cried and staggered to tbe tal)!e' The dagger j sheet of coarse paper, upon which a TLe,.e was a gquare U(al ked & t encountering a souare mark?d "Botka" and ending in a large circle bearing the name "Paris." Dart-ell pulled out the kuife and eyed It with wonder, slowly augmenting as , . jwi S011ses cleared. Of course it was ' possible that this weapon had been tietchikoff's possession, but why was It there? What was he expected to do with it V Murder his guards? At the thought he walked to the door and shook it. calling "Hello!" which Is pood in all languages. There was no answer. Darrc1 cross ed to the window. It was not fasten ed. No guards were to be seen. He raised the sash and thrust out his Lead. The town was still except for the songs of birds, glad of the bright inornhig. Darreil returned to the table and sat down upon the edge of it. his right hand pressed against his achiug fore head. "They drugged me," he muttered: "that's clear. Aud I had some rath er remarkable visions In the course of the night, as they now come back to me: but this beats them all." lie removed Vera's dagger from the table aud thrust it through the belt of his blouse, titittinu the dhiirr.-im intn I his breist. Then he went to the wiu- It began to dawn upon him that he was really free, but his mind was not yet clear enough to comprehend the manner of it. Dimly he now remem bered that at some point cf the night he hr.d been haif roused by the noise of ritle shots. Tiny had been quite near, but the drug hrul held his senses prisoner. However, he recalled the direction from which most of the noise had seenud to come, and. turning to look that way along the "rambling vil lage street, he saw the form of a man lying cn the turf by the wayside. It proved to be a Circassian soldier, and the man was dead. He htd been shot through the body. It was impossible that an attack had been made and Getchikoff and his es cort, driven out. No force of Circas sians capable of such a feat could have been in those parts, and had the deed been dene there would be more evi dence of the struggle. He could see only this dead man and the battered door and windows of a building across the way to justify a conclusion that a rescue had been attempted. Locking at the building mere closely, he discovered that it was the one in which he had been a prisoner for his first few hours in the town. Could Vera have led a party to free him? If so. and she had so far succeeded as to be able to leave her dagger in the room where he lay asleep, why had she gone out again and locked the door behind her? He laughed at the absurdity. Returning to the dead Circassian aft er viewing the wrecked house, lie look ed more closely at the body and reach ed, the extraordinary conclusion that the man had been shot after death. To the eye of one instructed in such mat ters it was quite plain tbat the soldier had died from the effects of a blow on the top of the head, received several days ago. Indeed there was indication that the wound had received medical attention, but this was the more diffi cult to decide because, like many oth ers cf his race, the poor fellow had been accustomed to shave his crown. Iu a field bordering the road was an- other Circassian, shot through the head, UCe S ?eiZ ,CaSOa to-belie that he had died of fever. Clearly." saut Darreil, "tbls is a Take' rescue. Getchikoff did not dare to take me to Stavropol. He ha3' or ganized this farce with the aid of Cir cassian stragglers from Gredskov aud two corpses from the ambulance train. But Vera's dagger? No; I can't seem to fit that into the scheme." The thought of the weapon reminded him of the diagram, and he locked at it again. What did the squares mean? Towns? There seemed to be an un necessary number of them. Botka was , a town, and it was represented by a ! square, but it was drawn differently . from those that were huddled together, j "They are houses in this village." was Darrell's conclusion. The line upon the diagram indicated that he must visit a certain house. What should he find there? Some form of death a part of this strange plot? It might be so, yet he did not hesitate. There was little difficulty in follow ing the clew. The house marked out io be visited was easily recognized, tht other squares, .indicating other houses, serving as a guide. It was a better house than that in which he bad been confined. There were two stories and three rooms on the ground floor, a , hall leading back to the largest of wuten was in tne rear. rell walked along the hall some cautiously for his mind was not free of the idea of a snare and pushed open the door of the large room. He saw a table, upon which were a part of a roasted fowl, some bread, and a glass flask containing milk. A chair was upset on the floor behind the table. Darreil had heard it fall, yet he saw uo one. He paused, with his hand upon the catch of the door, which opened in wa rd. "Who is it?" cried a voice, sudden and clear. Darreil sprang into the room and in stantly beheld the muzzle of a revolver that locked as big as a bucket. It fell to the floor with a ring of steel upon the hard wood, and there stood Vera, white as a erhost. staring at him. "lou see," saia Darren, addressing Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gordon in Paris some weeks later, "the dear girl found out what had become of me. and she determined to divert the course of my destiny, which seemed at the moment to be tending toward a stone wall and a firing party in Stavropol Korna and the nmazou tried to restrain her, but she slipped away from them at the minute when they were leaving Gred skov. secured a horse somehow aud rode after Getchikoff like a Valkyrie. She overtook hi in at nightfall in that village of Meldek, surrendered to him privately and demanded my release. "Getchikoff was in a quandary. He was pledged to me for Vera's safety. He could not talce us both to Stavropol. He could not put her cut cf jthe way either by deaih or captivity, for it was in my b.uid that I should have word of her. and he had certainly gone too far to break faith with me, even supposing that there had ever been a time when he could do it. "Under these trying circumstances he did the smartest thing ever done by anybody. He made Vera promise that if my release and personal safety were absolutely assured to her she would play her part as Motmaii Khan abso lutely according to his wishes. For my life, she gave that promise. She was nut under guard in another room of the house where I was first detained. Then under cover of the darkness we were both transferred by men whom Getchi koff could trust. The bogus rescue was easily managed through the aid of a squad of Circassian prisoners on their way to Stavropol Tor punishment for various violations of the Russian regulations in Gredskov. Their free dom was their, reward, and of course they afterward dispersed beyond the possibility cf doing harm. "As to Vera's promise. It was, of course, clear to her. though unexpress ed in words, that she must follow tho line upon the chart, the line that led to Paris. "Getchikoff dared not trust me with the news that Vera was in the town. He feared I would not agree to his plan, which put her so completely undei my power and direction, and I am greatly obliged to him fer his delicacy. So I was drugged, and with a touch of the theatrical the dagger and the chart were left for me. Vera also had a sleeping potion with her supper and was as much surprised as I to wake It freedom. "There were horses for us in the barn behind the house where I found her.and we rode that day to Botka. a village net far to the west. In the square de noting that village was a little cross in the southwest corner as one views a map. It denoted an American mission ary station, arl there, my friends. Vera and I were married by a fine, earnest, handsome young clergyman named Perkins, who was born in the state of Maine. A quaint and beautiful little wedding we had in that far corner of the world. I shall never think of it without tears cf purest happiness. "And so we are here, Robert, after our strange honeymoon journey. We have heard cf Russia's great leniency to the Circassians who remained under arms after Gredskov's fall and of the restoration of peace in that country. There is nothing we could do there even were we not pledged to keep away. "We have heard of Kilziar's death by his own hand in prison and of the mer cy shown to his associates. "As for Getchikoff, he has laid me under such obligations that, though he had forged my own name for every dollar I possess, though he had slain Ladislov in 'cold blood and Ladislov had been a good man and my "friend, I must still have shielded the fellow to the limit of my power. I will surely do it, and, upon ihy word, after his courtesy to Vera in Meldek. I almost believe he is worthy of forgiveness for his sins. "By the bye, to Botka, not long after our arrival, came Colonel Korna, with a few others of our friends, riding like niad and put upon the trail by a hint cleverly conveyed by Getchikoff. They were present at our wedding, and their blessings followed U3." THE END. 1 i P I RAFFERTY'SI I WAY Clinton 0 VVH I . Da.ngerfie!d ? Copyright, 1801, by ? Clinton Danarfield ?

She was riding down a rocky defile. Her face was flushed, her arms weary, for she carried her pet lamb. Billy, an obstreperous favorite, who ran away on every possible occasion. Billy was seasick and rebellions, and when she stooped ever her gate latch he wriggled out of her lap and jumped to the ground. With an exclamation of impatience she dismounted and began a lively but vain chase. She was in despair when a tall figure appeared on the rocks above, and. taking him for one cf the ranchmen, she called peremptorily for aid. The newcomer darted down. A brisk, undignified scramble ensued, and Ri'dy was placed, kicking and struggling, in her arms, while she herself faced Her bert Brownlow. "I beg your pardon." she said coldly. "If I had recognized you. 1 would never have given you this trouble." "Don't apologize." returned her com panion cheerfully. "I am very glad to have come to the rescue." "There's no question of rescue." said Miss Henderson ungraciously. "I would soon have h-id him. Billy is al ways ea.c v to entoh."

It's j h to live close to people who ' st'.'al from you under cover of the law" Here such an ominous expression came over his face that she stopped, rather f rightened. "Will you go on? I should like to hear the rest of the catalogue." "Then you shall I" the girl cried reck lessly. "Y'ou have stolen a tract of our land. Your men have cut our fences and branded our strays." "Are you aware," said Herbert calm ly. "that the man from whom your father purchased that tract never own ed it; that we paid hard money for it to the true possessor; that it was so proved in court? Y'our other charges are equally unfounded. In fact, the only instance round here of seizing other people's property has" been the case of a certain pet lamb bcru on my father's ranch." Miss Henderson clasped the outraged Billy closely. "Have you the assurance to say my lamb was stolen from you?" "I could prove it if I chose. But don't be alarmed. You are welcome to him. only it might make you a little more generous in your remarks about others." "I never heard of anything so im pertinent!" gasped Miss Henderson. "You think because I am a girl you can call me a thief, but you shan't get off as easily as you imagine." Two days later a man presented Her bert with a very dirty note which ran as follows: Mr. Herbert brownlow you are Hereby summoned to attend justice ccurt on the Seventeenth instant to answer for defann'n tlie Character of miss Xelly Henderson the C ase rests on the oncrshipp of one white lam the complainant has been accused of siealin the said lam to the great Injury of lior feclins anj Reputation.

The two principals in the trial reach ed the court, which was situated on the justice's piazza, at exactly the same time. Miss Henderson looked with dismay at a large crowd of spectators. It dawned on her that it was Saturday and that every ranchman within fifty miles had taken a half day to see the trial. "What are these horrid men doing here?" she exclaimed wrathfully as the justice helped her to alight. "I thought there'd be just you and me, the witnesses, and and Sir. Brown low. I'll wa." "Kain't do that," said the justice decidedly. Brownlow stepped forward. "I told Sliss Henderson she could have the Iamb.

"1 intend to finish." said Slisa Hen derson, sweeping past Brownlow and ttrkiug the chair reserved for her. The justice cleared his throat. "The first case on docket Is Miss Henderson versus Mr. Brownlow. Mr. Brownlow has aggrieved the com plainant's feeliu's by callin her a thief" "That I never did," said Herbert angrily. "This court Is not used to interrup tions," said the justice irritably. "This case wiH be determined by the lamb.

"I don't care what be comes or the lamb. I'll never touch him again. There's my purse," she added, flinging it Into the Justice's l?.n before he could rise. "If I owe any- thing, pay it." She was in the saddle and galloping down the road before the court bad time to recover. "She's done spilt a real Interestin case," said the clerk regretfully.
