were engaging in their front. The men at Galneor were set to

build a fort. In this the women rendered valuable assistance. They were

eager enough to help.

Hiss Arnold then.

It was late in the afternoon when we heard the hurried tramp of horses’

hoofs.

The fort was built on that aide of Galneor nearest Bromporrah. In it I placed all the women at hand, and a force of soldiers under Oso-Bark. To the right of the fort Istretohed a line of ambush through the woods. The force thus detailed was under the command of Garu-Saak. To the left I stretched a similar line, and took command myself. We thus formed a funnel, the apex of which was the fort, and into the mouth of which led

the Street of the Invaders.

The-sound of hoofs was most welcome. My men were becoming impatient for the fight to begin. The shouts of the cavalry could now be heard. It was Tartar cavalry. This fact war surprising. The presence of these lawless horsemen so far away from their usual haunts wss unexpected. It msde me urge my men more fiercely, slthough it was not necessary. But the reputation of the Tartar as a fighter is pretty well established, and I knew we had hot work before us.

Before daybreak the women pre-

pared breakfast of coffee and rice and fruit; and I sent a note to Miss Ar nold and Mr. Avery, telling them of the events of the night and that we

were on our way to Quiental. I bad no intention of attacking the

walled city. I had no cannon. I knew that inside the walls thete wss heavy artillery. To attack a fortress like that with rifles was foolhardy. I knew that Hcn-Ko-Hi would send his army to pnt down the rebellion of his subjects. And it was this army I was on

CHAPTER XV. AFTER THE CONQUEST. The palace at Quiental stood at the northern end of the city. Therefore it stood at th* most northerly point of Talmooch, for Qniental wss the northern extremity of the island. The palace was not quite up to the modern idea of what a palace should be, but it was strongly bnilt, and, in its way, imposing. It was solid, square and strong. It had towers and turrets. It was surrounded by a large park. That end of the castle facing th* street was, of course, the front, but the facade of the opposite end waa precisely similar, and faced the sea. From this end the ground sloped sway to the frowning battlements that rendered Quiental a wonderfully well for-

ning the battle. I bad calculated on the forces from Bromporrah attacking the enemy in the rear, but it looked as if it wonld be too late. Defeat stared us in the face, and defeat

meant death.

Suddenly the air was rent by a great war-cry. Hundreds of rifles barked their venomous voice* in the rear of the Tartars. £ho Kalek battle-cry w** hurled through ti# forest with the shouts of victory. Bado-Bor bad come up; From thi* point it was simply a question of how long the Tartar* would oontinue to fight before they fled or became wiped out. Hand in hand the men of Galneor and the men •f Bromporrah fought the enemies of

their country.

And before the tenifie onslaught of victorious revenge even Tartars could

not stand.

Finally the remnant of the once nroud cavalry turned and

When the head of the advancing column had reached the center of the plain, I gave the order to fire. The roar of the rifles swept along the line. First Garu-Saak poured bis deadly fire into the enemy from the east. Then Bador-Bor and his Ksleka dealt them a blow from the other side. Then the storm from ths rifles of Oso-Bork met them in their very faces. . Volley after volley was "poured into the rapidly decreasing army, snd the (cnerals seemed to be utterly lost. Suddenly I lest my command of my army,’and ceased to be a factor in the fight. The war-cry ot the Kaleks rang out again, and Bado-Ror was seen advancing toward the Chinamen on a run. The entire army of Jnmari and Kaleks threw aside all thoughts of safety, and rushing ont on the plain, resolved itself into a great circla which went soiling around the enemy like a aerAn endless ring of blazing rifles swept around the doomed Mantehooe, and above the roar sounded the cry of victory.

"I never was on sneh intimate terms with one before.” "Now,” I replied, "it is time to drop all such nonsense. I <uq not a king. I don’t want to be king.
