The war minister aaw that threats were of no avail, so he next tried diplomacy, " Can I not buy her at a price 7 I mean to say, her immunity from harm?" he aaked. The prinseaa aeemed annoyed and yet at- tracted by the question. Sne felt, indeed, like the dog In the fable, strongly inclined to drop the auhatanoe In her greed to anap at the larger shadow.

If you only dared, to place above my head." " Zaeneh, I cannot command a wholeaale massacre of Christiana merely to pleaae a woman," " TIm qneatlon ia not that of pleasing a woman, but of preaarving a girl." Arab! Paaha winced but made out " I cannot do It even for that, Zseneh." " Then, by Allah and the prophet I will do unto the girl what I have threatened." " To the care of Allah and the Prophet I must consign her, then, rather than commit so great a crime. I will not stain the aacred- ness of our cause by unneoeaaary bloodshed, no matter how you may seek to drive me to It," The princeaa waa not ao enraged at thia apeech aa her viaitor had feared ahe would be, perhapj by reaaon that ahe waa gratified te learn that the war minister did not love the English girl to anoh an extent aa will- ingly to commit a gigantic crime for her Bake.

For a moment ahe oaald not ramtmber where she waa, and when tha knowledge cams baok to her aha grew friahtanad at the pitohy blaokneaa by wmoh she waa aurronnd- ed, bat at length catohing eight of two friendly atara looldng down np3n her, she crept over to the window aa as te feel near- er to them, for the Arab belief that tha atara are the eyes of the angela waa a plea- aant thought to ponder over at a time like the preaent. No aooner had aha reached the window than ahe aaw what Iiokel Uke other atora, eaoh having a shimmering rEflsotion. but she knew that these were the lights of the three Britiah ironolada. As she knelt there, leaning on her arms, and almost pinting for air, for the night was intensely close and sultry, she oould hear the little wavelets lapping the f ound- atlona of her prison wall, and also after a while another sound which somehow or other auggeatod to her the Idea of the dig- gi^ of gravea. Yes, it oartainly resembled the measured strokes of spade 3, the dull thad of earth aa it fell on earth, uid now and then there waa a murmur aa of aubdued voices and a faint rolling and oreaking, such as might have been caused by the passage to and fro of hand-liarrows. Pressing her face as dose agdnst the window aa ahe was able, she looked down to right and left and soon became awaro that a number of tiny, glow-worm like lights were moving to and fro almost under- neath that side of the palaoe, and about two hundred yards to the right of the window she was looking out from, but hardly had she made this discovery when the door of her room was suddenly opened and the flash of a lamp almost blinded her. Only for a moment, by reaaonof itesadden- neu and Ita exoeaalve brightness, and then Nellie reoognizad behind it the Prinoesa Zseneh and the horrid woman with the aick- ly leer. Thia witoh followed her miatoeaa and faatoned the door behind her. "Put down the lamp on that low brae-, ket," aaid the princeaa, and directly ahe waa. obeyed ahe tomed fiercely npon tiie English girl and added: "Go you over to that pile of oashlons directly under the light. Yoa need sot ohooae year attitude, becauae we ahall put you in f everal before we have done with yon. We are going to tickle you, Uttie one, thit la all, to-night." She laaghed bitterly aa she uttered the last word, for ahe had reaolved to tortare her prisoner by degrees. Nallie did aa ahe waa bidden but the next command waa that aha should atrip heraelf, and this, rather than lie roughly handled by the two women, ahe alao com- mencsd to do, and indeed with somewhat of alacrity, for a hops arose within her that her naked lovelineaa would aoften her per- aecntora' hearts towarda her andjorce them to treat her gently. She began to doubt ita power, however, when upon tha removal of her dreaa (one that she had obtained of Marie) and the oon- aequent expoanre of her exquiaite neck, arma and ahouldera, tha prinoeaamerely gave vent to a oontemptnona laugh, and ralaing her own great, brown bat by no means unlovely iMaonu, drew forth from andameath them a withered flower and a (nm that aeemed to flash with ndnbow hued flsunei. " Behold, yoa thrice accuraad Kaffir, tha ring that I gave him when I lowered my lineage, my rank, my faith and my mlde In the very dust for hia aake.

Since a body of men were so alarmed at the strange sight, It la by no mejuis surpris- leg that the sadden and terrible glare osusad the Princess Zseneh to leave off pummeling Nellie and to jump to the rapid conolnaion that, aa the foul tiend had beatowed auoh beanty npon her, he waa coming in person in order to see that she wasn't robbed of It, and the same idea having seized upon the buffoon, their helter-akdter retreat waa the moat natural thing In the world. They looked the room door in their rear, and when this had been done the princess summoned up sufficient oourage to stoop down and peer through the keyhole. But though the light had by that time quitted the room agdn, the fact did not at all reassure her, but rather tho reverse, and she aaid to the buffoon in aaawer to her quea- tion whether they ahonldn't now so in again and finish what tiiey had intanded to do " I am afraid Shaltan only left baoause we left.

He went to the door and waa met by WlUla Sdla, tha son of a neighbor, J. W. SaUa. The boy cried out: " Mr. MendeU, a maa la at our house with a hatohet, and hai hurt father and mother. I don't know how badly. " Mr. Menddl went with the boy, arouaing J. T. Bice, another neighbor, on the way. Upon reaching Sall'a houae a moat horrible Bight met their eye. Iq tba bed in tho north room lay Walter, Willie'a eldeat brother and bad-fellow, agsd 19, hia throat out and the entire top of nl« head chopped off. expoaing the brain, and hia left eye hanging upon his cheek. Faaslng into the aoath and main racn. where a light was burning, thev stombled over the prostrate form of Mr. Sail's, hia head crushed and al- most severed from his body. Naar by lay Mrs. SaUs, a lady of 43 years, her head mashed and a fearful gash in her throat. On the bed in the sca;heast corner of the reom lay Ina, Willie's sister, aged 14, killed in the samaway as the other Lying near Mr. Sella'a head was a bloody butcher knife, and on a chair a hatohet, covered with blood. The boy said that he had been awakened by something, and looking up saw a lew, heavyset man with dark hai"-, cut close, standing in the door. This man stopped in, and, reaching over WilUo,, Htruok Walter, whobky on the baok of tha bad, W.lxie jumped out and dressed while the man was still in the room. The man rushed out of one door while Willie rushed out of the other, and started np the road on a run, Willie after hini. A short distacca off stood a man on horseback, hbldiag another horse, upon whloh the mm vaulted, a:nd both made off. WIlUe then went oh to Mr. Mandell's. After the bodies had bean diaoovared Mr. Rlos took Willie home with liim, where he alept soundly nutU morning. A Coroner'a jury was impanelled, and the subsequent investigation brought fourth from tha boy. Suspidon rested upon liim, and he waa put on the stand. He awore that he had not washed Ida handa ainoa the murder, bui In- apection ahowed that, while his hands and wristj were dean, there was a water mirk above which hia forearms were deeply en- omatod with blood whloh appear«d to have apatterad up hia aleevea. Around hia finger nails, too, waa blood. Upon removing hia trouaera. hia drawera wera aaen to be spat- tered with blood, an i h|j bare feet were .C3vered with the same toll-tale marks. His feet fitted all the bloody footmirks to ba found. The boy stoutly denied bsing tha murderer, and maintained a bold front throughoat. The oouclusion of the Inquest waa post- poned until next day.
