slaves?

I told Mr. Avery of the powder, and once more his hopes were raised a little higher. We had a passageway cut from the river-bed to the cellar of Bado-Bor’s house. The powder, as fast as it was made, was carried into ihe caverns and stored where it wonld be safe and dry. Mr. Avery became an agitator of the most pronounced type. He visited all parts of the island not inclosed within the walls of Quiental, and preached revolution to the people. The seed was sown in fertile soil. The results were such as we could wish. By the time we had been on the island three months, I had established a secret league, extended from my cave under the Sacred Forest to the very walls of Quiental. A cystem of communication was perfected, whereby I could at any time, from any portion of the island send a message to any other portion and receive an answer in an incredibly short space

of time.

By this means I kept myself informed at all times of all that was transpiring at Talmooch. If a taxgatherer left the portals of Quiental with a force of soldiers at his back, I knew it as soon as he got away from the shadow of the wall. If Hen-Ho-Hi went out into the forest roads to ride, accompanied by his attendants. I knew it, and sometimes watched his course from a securely hidden nook in

m tree-top.

We frequently thought that we were discovered, and hastily prepared to meet our fate. But the protection of

God was ours, and '

The celebrated Jumar blade again became an important fact, aod OaruSaak was a most striking specimen of eoldier as he stood in the uniform of our army with the great steel destroyer buckled to his waist I had decided in favor of a ehowy uniform. But the manufacture of these did not progress beyond a few for the principal officers. I substituted one of them for the bloodstained one I had taken from ChaFong. And in place of his boots I put on a shiny pair of new ones turned out from a shop at Bromporrah. I looked like a soldier even if I didn’t act like one. But I had a happy conceit that I was doing as well under the circumstances as any one else

could do.

These things denote the steady growth of my plans. I had been in Talmooch six months before we had the army under full discipline. One day Mr. Avery and I were talking over our affairs, and going]over, one by pne,

all the details of the work.

The fellow held in his hands the lives of Miss Arnold, Mr. Avery sad myself. I rushed to him and seized him. He was armed, but so taken by surprise at my temerity that he was fatally slow to act.

delay.”

“You are a marvel. One would think you had been brought up to

this sort of thing."

“ ‘Necessity is the mother,’ etc.— you know," I replied, laughing. “What are you going to do next?”

“Wait," I replied, examining a iece of steel Poko-Bains had brought a me for inspection. “Only wait."

every advantage over my army in the field. I did not, of course, dare build any sort of protection above ground, and yet it was my determination to win the coming battle with.as little loss of life among my own men as possible. And to do this I resolved that the scene of the first struggle

must be in Galneor.

Suddenly I heard a crying among the women and a bitter wailing. I knew too well what it meant. The cry, “The taxi The taxi" had become a familiar one to my ears. The official tax-gatherer of Hen-Xo-Hi waa going his rounds to gather in everything that had not already been stolen or to insult or abuse the people. This particular tax-gatherer was a most villainous-looking scoundrel,and murder seemed to be his favohte sport. He rode a fairish horse, and was followed by a horde of ruff eager for carnage or deviltry. xney tramped through the houses ol Jumers, knowing no law save their own lust

She darted off breathless andi anxious. The tax-gatherer came riding down the streets of Galneor with his gang of followers, swinging into all the houses, committing such depredations as they liked.
