With the as- will.’ Zahbri has her placed in an} asylum in New York. «Bark, 1 loyal mute servant of Lou-Lou's family, rescues her from the asylum. The Rev. Luke Quail, a militant Missionary, accompanies Lou-Lou, Barak, and Fortesque to the Island of Sibuko, where he had once been attached to a mission, and where his wife had been killed and his little Gaughter had disappeared, following a raid by Dyak pirates. While Lou- Lou and her party are on the way Franks, an exiled Virginian who fs known to have been friendly to Lou-Lou and who {s suspected of knowing the whereabouts of the old Sultan's treasure is found dead.

Rais Hamed Been Yusuf, owner of the schooner “Cazelle” and conspir- ator with Zahri discusses with Hvar- son the failure, so far, of their plot. Hvarson ‘declares he values Lou-Lou more than the treasure of Sibuko. Lou-Lou assumes the government, banishes Hvarson and Hamed and pardons Zahri. .Barak {s captured by Hamed's men and taken away on his boat, the Gazelle. At length, manaclel to four rings in the deck, unable to move to any extent, Barak lay spread-eagled. His flaming eves looked up at the crimson figure of Rais Hamed in a steady and unflinching gaze. The three dead men were laid aside. The others squatted around once more, panting, a red glare in their muddy eyes. Now upon musical, sweetly Hamed “Welcome, O guest, sent by Allah! Have you no reply to make to my courtesy?” Barak gazed upward. “That is sad,” pursued Rais Hamed. “I have learned that {t was you who released Sultana Lou-Lou from the pleasant place ‘where Tuan Hvarson had confined her in America.

One word, and you go free.” Rais Hamed leaned forward, watit- ing., The men around laughed and chuckled, “Well, enough of this!” snapped the old pirate. “Since I have but one eye, it {s clearly an insult that he should appear before me with two eyes. Have I none to avenge me on this insulter?”’ Three of the men leaped forward, their _knves drawn. For a moment they were heaped over the head of Barak. ‘Then they withdrew.
