H«d he noticed the sly and exultant ex- pression of the aoorpion eater he might have been better ptepured for what was to come and how to avoid Its conaeqoencesj for, lo, the unoanny noiaaa rapidly Increaaed in volume, the aemi-darkneas became all at once full of fluttering wings, hideous littlei homed heads, and shrill iqaeaka, and then! all in an instant the torch waa extingaished an 1 the three fugitives felt themselves beat' about their faces by quickly flapping, skin- ny leather substances, whlUtan intolerable stench assailed their nostrils, so that It ia little wonder that in the sudden darkness, terror and confusion Frank's hand for an instant relaxed the tightness of Its grip on the santon'a beard or that h?, takfaig ad- vantage of the opporunity, with a wrench and a bound released himself altogether theretrom, and laughing shrilly and exnlt- antly, rudied away with the certain 'y that he would not again be caught. In another minuie th- y could hear him shouting in the distance " Yallah I Y»Uah By tiie Jiinety-nine names of Allah and the hundred and four- teen ohaptora of the El Koran. By the fig and the olive and the soul of Khaled the blessed, you shtdl all die in the bowels of the mountains without ever seeing the day- light or the moonshine now. Yea, you shall BO die and my lyux and jac al shall pick your bones, whilst your souls shall fizzle and try forever and forever in the fiery pit of Borhut. You have oaat dirt upon my beard and set my turban awry, you dogs, for is it not written that " ho who lendetii sucooi to the oppressor or the unbeliever shall ere long strike his knees in vain 7' Wherefore, by every hair of the dogs that begot thee, Abou Self the santon will take bitter ven- geance for the indignities that ye hare cast npon hioa," And having thua spat out his venom, as it were, they oould hear his rapidly reced- ing footsteps, mingled with fresh peals of chuckling laughter. 'I wish I'd spitted the old baste on me spear, which sure an' I'd have done if it hain't been for the winged devils, an' the darkness, an' the not thmking ov it until too late, at all at all," grunted Pat Mona- ghan.. "Just pass the spear over to me, Pat, to feel the way well in advance with, for I judge 'tis safer now to go on than to turn back, for that old rascal bai gone to bring the Bedouins after ub, and knowing all the ina and outs of this place we'd Itave no chance of overtaking him, even on horse- back," said Frank D jnelly. "Lord presarve us from him and the likes of him," muttered Pat, aa he passed the lance over Nellie's head, whom, as he took it, Frank comforted with the words " I feel sure that this passase will event- ually lead to freedom, my darling, and. the creatures that put out the llghte and startled us so much were but bate. I saw them dis- tinctly. Now that the accustomed darkness that they delight in has returned again they trouble us no longer, yon see, so let us get on once m^re." He waited for no reply, but urged on hb horse as he spoke, feeling the way with the Ion? lance so that the animal should not knock ite head against anything or plunge he'adlong down into some hole or pit. It was, in fast, that kind of darkness that writers say " may be felt," or " may ba out with a knife," and so on, so that it; was anything but pleasant traveling when it waa impossible to know whit possible dangers m ight not be in the way. More than once Nellie Trezarr felt con- vinced that she heard the pattering feet of the j tckal and of the still more fearful lynx coming after them, whilst Pat M naghan'B fears were still chiefly of the suparnttural, BO that every instant he expected that Djtn or giant devil would spring upon him and bear him away, where or for what purpose he did not even dare to conjecture. But imagination was stwn destined to give way to reality, for when they had pro- ceeded in tbirslow and oautious manner for about ten minutes, the path appearing to trend gradually downward the while, they heard the unmistakable sound of other hoofs in their rear and coming on at a much fast- er pace than their own. Then, iar behind them, there suddenly fluhed a glow of ruddy light, and looking round they beheld the hideous Boorpion eater ooming down the aubterranean at a speed that waa wonderful for his years, holding aleffe a toroh in either hand and closely fol- lowed by a dozm or so of mounted Bsdou ni, whose bright lanoo points twinkled like stara above their scarlet shawl turbans.

They oome on unaaked, and BO they mus4 take the oonsequencea. Do as I a«k you, Nellie." She made no further oppositf on or obser- vation, but rode on a little way and then drew rein. Frank Donelly motioned to her, however, to move a triflle more to the right, fearing that she waa somewhat in the Bedouin line of fire. When she had obeyed his muto sign he gave all his attention to the latter gentry. They wera by this time near enough to require it, pounding along through the sub- terranean at the heels of the onward ruabiag santon under the full impreasion, no doubt, that inatead of awaiting them just ontaide, the fugitives were hurrying down the moun- tain as fast aa ever they could urge their horses. They were soon nndeoelved on this point, however, for at the same instant " crack I crack 1 craok 1 crack I orack I crack I" went' Captain Donellv's and Pat Monagnan's re- volvers, the rapid reporte going rambling and roaring into the innermost recesses of the vast subtorraoeaDa and awakening a score and more of echoes, which were quick- ly succeeded by thoee of the shrieks, howls, groans and execrations of the wounded and the dying aa they fell clattering from their high d^ml-piqbe saddlea to the resonndii^ floor of the passage, wnUst thoBO who sur- vived spurred forward over their writhing bodies with shriller cries still. Intent on taking vengeance on the slanghterera of their brethren before they ceuld reload. But Captain Donelly cmd Pat Menaghan had six charges yet remaining In thdr re- volvers, and now, stepping suddenly for- ward into view, they disoh-orged them full In the faces snl breasto of their swarthy foes, when bo near that their toiaing and straining horses' heads wera almoat within arm's length of their muzzles. Each bullet found Its billet on this occa- sion, anddown went theshriekiog'^adoulns, one over^he other, and among.-t them the santon, with a hole in hia throat, out through which the blood gushed like a fountain. As he went crashing down his weight burst open the basket at his back, and the great flash colored aerpents, gliding forth, sprang upon the fallen men, and the plung- ing, resrins horses, idning fiercely and burying thur poison fangs in their prey. As for the Bedoaina wh still renudned mounted and apparently uniBJored, and In number thry were but tturee, they who led their horses round and galloped back into the darkness of the tomb, whilst giving utter- ance to lend oriea of horror and dismay. Ere they had disappeared altogether from view Captain Donelly and Pat were in their saddles and ridiog calmly forward to rejoin Nellie. "Thanks to P^t's susgestion, we have got wholly rid of the rascals, for tiie three who still survive will let ns depart In peace, I Imagine," said Frank, and then he added, as a puzzled eipresaisn came over his fine countenance " I wih that we knew how to recroBS the mountain, for we are now on the side of the great desert, which stretohea for hundreds ofleagues tovard the very centre of Africa." "No, Frank, it cannot be," replied Nellie, "for I feel certain that that is Cairo which I see over away onder. And there, there are the Pynurlds, too, and I feel equally gore that I can just mak^out a train steam- ing in that direction, the direction of the North Star, which must be Alexandria- ward, I take it." " By all that's glorious, you are right, Nellie. Why, we must have come out on the same Bl'le of the mountain as that at which we entered. We have deacribed the ha'f of a half, or more likely of an oval, within the subterranean. I dared not have hoped for such good fortune. It saves no end of time." ....

When Frank Donnelly had read of this deaert ruse years previously he had n;ver lm*gtoed that the tioie would come when he would be glad to avail himaelf of It himself. It waB,quito effectual, however, for within the next hour they would certainly have been sighted and pursued had they been rash OQongh to liave continued en thor way; whilst owtog to their precaution large par- ties of Bedouins paaBod quite near by without perceiviufl; them. Then, at last, the danger of diaoovery seemed to grow less and less, and their part of the desert to be getting empty again, so that they thought of once more remounting and continuing their journey, when, on snd- denly looking round, Pat Monaghan beheld yet another party of Bedouins oomtog to- wards them, but following a course which betoikened that they would pass much nearer by than any of the preceding bodies of the savage horsemen had done. " Bedad, an' it's as straight as a bede line that the varmlnta are oomtog and if we would save our lives we'd bettor be up and away, yer honor." " By Jove, I believe you're right, F^t. Up and away be it, thdta," rejoined his master, and tne next instant he waa undoing his horses leashings- When they had aeon to their own ateeda and turned to perform th? .same office by Nellie's, to, the deft and spirited girl had not only released the animal and got him on his legs, but had also mounted him and waa quito ready for flight. Before long, todeed, Donelly felt that they were like three poor fawns trying to cross a ohesboard, with the rival uiighte, bishops, rooks and queen all bent on render- mg the attempt a matter af shear Imposalbi- Uty. Ab yet tiiey were evidently unseen, but as he could hardly hope that they woidd con- tinue BO for long he waa presently fato to yield to the inevitable and adopt a ruse. He called a halt, told Nellie that there was nothing much to be alarmed at, but thatneverthelesB it was better to be ointious, and then held a brief oonaulatton with Pat MoQaghan, the result of which waa that all three diunounto^, forced their horses to lie down, gagged them so %hat they oould neither neigh nor whinny, tied their legs BO that for them to rise was an equal impos- sibillty, aad l^en to the course of a very few minutes raised a circ ilar barrier of sand high enough to oanceal both their steeds and themselvea aa they crouched down. Her prompt action lad saved a conp'e of mtontes at the least, and that brief space of time might be of the utmost value under the oiroumBtimceB.

"Keep your breath to cool your porridge, P«t," exclaimed hia mastor, somewhat an- noyed.
