Zahri who plans to selze the throne left to Lou-Lou by her father Hivarson described by Lou-Lou as a “terrible man’ who once kissed her against her will and Hamed Ben Yusuf his associate are involved with Zahri. ‘ Barak, a loyal serfant of Lou-Lou’s Spanish mother, contrives her escape, though he Is forced to kill a guard to, get her out.

The girl's story makes 1 deep impression on Fortesque. She gives him the re- maining twelve rubles wich she a him to sell for enough money to carry her to Manila. Finally she persuades Brain to go with her and help her to frustrate Zabri. In San Francisco, Fortesque puts the rubles in his safe- ty deposit bux, draws ten thousand dollars in currency, and makes ar- rangements for a voyage. At Lou- Lou's request he looks up The Reverend Luke Quail, a for- mer missionary. Fortesque learns that Mr. Quail is a militant of the cloth, who once in physical combat had drubbed no less a person than Hvarson. The clergyman had then suggested that Hvarsan be baptized otherwise ‘he would not be author- ized to read the burial service over, him,” an¢ hinted that it might be re- quired. Mr. Quail is persuaded to ac company the pa on very first night on the ship it is discovered that tivarson is a fellow passenger. Trehearne, loca! agent in Sibuko for a trading company 1s told by Franks, an exiled Virginian, that he has received word from Barak at Manila) by a carrier pigeon. Barak .had written an account of Lou-Lou's adventures and the arrival of her party at Manelli. At the same time Hamed comes and sa that Zahri, whom he significantly calls 1 soon to arrive at Sibuko ultan,”” is Haméd openly curses the Christians. In the palace grounds was the tomb the old sultan had built for himself, a stone sarcophagus in a little pit, with a rail around it and a green cloth over the tomb. Outside was a large and handsome chamber, where the council was ac- customed to meet. Franks and Trehearne were Speak- ing of it as they turned toward the palace, that afternoon when the mes- sage from Barak had come. “Didn't you ever. ask the ouija- ‘board abcut the old sultan’s treas. ¥re?"”” asked the former.

So I wrote a note to Lou-Lou.” Trehearne gazed at unconcealed suspicion. “Are you makin’ fun of me being superstitiou! he demanded, “I thought you always laughed at all of it.” Franks turned his twinkling, bril- liant eyes upon Trehearne, and smiled ryly. SMM!y dear fellow,” he said, “there até some unfortunate men who al Ways laugh at the things they most deeply reverence, down inside. of them. They don’t want to laugh, but they do. I'm one of those men.” Now, come along and forget it!” The guards, stalwart brown men ermed with spears and_ krisses, saluted as the two entered the grounds. They took the side pat that led to the tomb and the eyes of Franks lifted to the mystic inser!p- tion above the door. An odd smile seemed to struggle in his face. It was not strange that this inscription, which had been carven long ago when the old sultan was bu'lding his tomb, should have caused great per. plexity to those who had failed to dis: | cover his hoard of treasure. It ran: My treasure is in my shade, And my shade {8 in my tr Search for it—despair not! Nay, despair.
