He employs spies of all kinds to watch Yasmini, cving that she has knowledge of its whereabouts, Though he is a dissolute, <rupulous man, he was chosen over UTIRUPA SINGH, another distant cousin. DICK BLAIN , an American mining engineer, is hired by Gungadhura to «ch for gold in the vicinity of Sialpore. THERESA BLAINE, his wife, strikes up a friendship with Yasmini, The ef enlists the services of TOM TRIPE, the maharajah’s English drill master, and his dog Trotters » ber side of the intri ue. ‘ SIR RONALD SAMSON, the English Commissioner, 1s the third anxious tind the treasure, on the Government's account, holding that Gungsdbura lit cause trouble should he find it and mistrusting Yasmini’s impetuons ways he should be the lucky one, Fearing to eat lest ngadhura paisan het, planning to escape, Yasmini begs Jess to come to her own palace (where is a prisoner), ‘Tess comes with Dick, who stays with Tom Tripe while joins Yasmini. \hile Y Tn ts and Tess plot the former's escape, Dick and Tom Tripe wait- st 4 some di ince away in a shed, Gungadhura arrives with three eunuchs and hands admittance. As he shows his face at the gate Yasmini strikes at him th her knife and he suffers an ugly wound in the face.

Yasmini drew the bolt and Tom was ‘irat_to step through the gate. “Where's my dog?’ he demanded. "Did Akfar get him?" A.cold nose thrust in his hand was ‘he answer: Up in the dog cart Tess and her husband laughed in each other's ar “How many people will the carriage hold?" Yesmint called to them. So she and her five maids piled in while Tess, because her costume mado it easier, mounted and rode behind Tom Tripe. The drunken elephant drew watch- men and all others to his pursuit, so the streets were quiet as the little arty made their way to the home of Mukbum Dass, the money-lender. At last revealing her identity, Yasmini induced him to shelter her five maids upti} an hour before dawn, and one faithful guard, Ismail, who had fol- lowed at the dogcarts’ tail, was com- missioned to watch outside the housy. "Now Tom Tripe!"* Yasmini order- ed, “Do you as the eleplynt did and cause distraction. Dyaw fiungadhura eff the scent!" “Hell's bells, Your Ludyship:" he smswered, ‘‘All the drawing I'll do efter this night's work will be my Jast.month's pay.” “Nonsense! Gungadhura and the guard ran from the elephant like dust before the wind. The guards will be back at their post before this; but Gungadhura must find a discreet phy- sician to bind a slit face for him! Tell the guard that Gungadhura wants ro talk about to-night’s work.

Fourteen of them were gathered for her and held in readiness by men who loved her and detested Gungadhura They rode in single file, eich driver with a led cumel ridden by 4 woman, except Yasmini directed her own mount and for the most part showed the way, her dosert- reared guide being hard put to keep his own animal abreast of her. The surest thing Gungadhura would attempt, once word. should reach him that she had vanished from Stalpore, would be to,draw around her a net- work of his own men, Watchers from the hills could pass word along of the direction she had taken; and the sequel, if Gungadhura was only quick enough, would depend simply on the loneliness or otherwise of the spot where she could be brought to bay. For Yasmini abduction to the hills could only mean one of two things: unthinkable surrender, or sure death by any of a hundred secret means, So the way they took was wild and Jonely, frequented only by the little jackals. Yet twice they were seen before the sun was two hours high, the first time by @ caravan of merchants head- ed toward Sialpore, who took no notice, but would tell of the encounter. The second party to catch sight of them consisted of four men on comels, whose rifles, worn military fashion with a sling, betrayed them as Gungadhura’s men. “Desert police,” he called them. “Takers of tenths was the popular description The four gave chase, for a caravan in a hurry ts always hkely to pay well for exemption from aelay They had a signal station on the hill two miles behind them, to Keep them in touch with other parties, north, south, cast and west, It looked like Yasmini's undoing, for they were gaining two for one along & shorter course but she changed di- rection, so that the police had lost advantase, and a stern chase on slower camels was their only hope but one. They fired half a dozen shots by way of calling attention to themselves then wheeled and raced away to- ward the signal station on the hill, Yasmin brought her fugitives at last to a little desert oasis, where there was brackflsh water and a great rock offered shadow to rest in “By now," laughed Yasmini, smok- ing a cigarette in the shadow, “Gun- gadhura knows surely that my palace is empty and the bird has flown Yet the telegraph will have not been seen to cross the border, and he will be wondering--wondering.”’ “What can he do?’ suggested Tess, “Do?
