CHAPTER XII (Continued.)

“Sent y Mere wes @nothner oprief halt, and I cowld hear the Arabs in | whispered consultation. Then I knew

that part‘of the compariy went one way and part anether, I sticking to my gun-barrel as if it were my sole hope }

of salvation. Another breathless clamber followed, doubly trying to me in my blinded condition, and in a lit- tle while I understood from the free

play of the air at !ast we had reached the tap.

I had hardly time to wonder what was coming next, when one of my guards spoke.

* We wish to be rid of thee,”’ he said. | bluntly. ‘Listen well to my words, for ‘they concern thy very life. While we were yet far down the gulf, some said, ‘Cut him in two and cast him to the fishes.’ Others—and well for thee they prevailed—answered, ‘No.

rather let him live, if so be he go not to come back. I¢ he return, then shall his bloed be upon his own head.’

Now we are merciful. We will lead thee to a place of safety some dis-

tance hence and there leave thee. Only if for the space of one hour thou triest to free thine ecyes from their covering,

then as surely as thou dost it thou shalt die ere ‘thou hast time to look twice.”

Without watting for a word from me he gave the order, and we went on again. The ground was broken and uneven, but after the pit sides we had climbed it was like the Queen’s high- way.

We may have marched for an hour when we stopped. I was made to sit upon a stone. Then they untied my hands, admonishing me to remember the penalty for disobedience im respect to the bandage on my eyes, and hav- ing given me my pipes, which in a surprising spirit of generosity had been taken care of, they left me.

I sat there awhile with perfect loy- alty, acutely mindful of the injunctions and admonitions I had received. I kept my hand tight on the green bag.

In the stress of terror just gone through I had forgotten it, but now

that it was returned its touch had for a moment something of the solace of an old friend’s presence.

Partly to amuse myself, partly t« compute the flight of time, I began tc count the seconds, but it proved a weary process and was given up, only, however, to be begun again and again stopped, and j again resumed, to be finally abandoned in despair. In _ the usual reckoning an hour is but 60 short

With trembling hands and a caution that was amazing in such burning im- patience, I raised the bandage and glanced from under its edge, first on one side, then on the other. Seeing ne watcher, I tore the cloth off and got to my feet, looking round with more } care and deliberation. Not a soul was |} about. I was alone. '

There was just light enough to enable | me to discern I was in the middle of |

a wild desolation of gorges and piled- up cliffs, rising in the dim distance to what appeared to be a range of moun- tains. More for variety’s sake than from any definite object, I took up my pipes and began to walk forward from the sea. But some falls and frequent trippings With sudden glimpses of a yawning world of blackness at my very feet made it plain that to proceed in such a chacs of crags and clefts was to risk my neck at every step. Weary, faint, and in no heart to face un- known dangers, I sat down again, my back against a big to reflect on the new turn affairs had taken. Hunger fell upon me with the fierce- mess of a beast of prey. Most people I suppose have felt a sharp craving in their stomach, but mine was an acute pain that soon became a mad- dening anguish. You are to remem- ber that I had eaten nothing that day, that I was active, and had the edged appetite that comes with a full re-

The stars began to come out pres- ently, very large and lustrous, I sup- pose, to the proper eye, full of poetry. By and by a silver lightness fell on the landscape, and a little later the white moon rose in a sapphire sky, re- vealing the haggard dreariness of ‘the

scene as clearly as if the time were noonday.

No other living crea- ture did I see or hear. Too weak and drows to make any effort for suc- cour, 1 crawled into a shady spot be- neath the led of a great rock, and in spite of trouble and pain, seon fell asleep.

I awoke near the dawn chilled tothe marrow—for the dewy night air in these parts is sharp—and fallen to- gether like an emp’y sack. The pain of my stomach wus excruciating, hbe- ing for al! the world like a living, con- suming flame in my inside. To the tortures of hunger, too, was now add- ed that of thirst, and in all the black riven wilderness th#re was not adrop

of water. Nor, what heartening, was sign

upation anywhere 1. The temptation was strong to lie down

and rest, but as that would be mad- ness if I wanted to save my life, I staggered on once more, ignorant of mv direction and in the last ebb of hone.

Weary hours passed—hours full of indescribable anguish of mind and

body—without bringing cheer or solace. The sun came out, a huge white hot furnace enveloped in a pale haze ofits

own heat. The earth blistered and cracked under my eyes; the rocks were scorching it; it seemed as if fire and famine were blackening the land together. A slight wind blew, but it was the breath of the crater or sul- phur pit let loose to destroy. Gasping to suffocation and dreading sunstroke, I hid in a deep cleft. Here {[ lay awhile in shade, but very soon the sun smote in upon me till the walls

were like glowing iron. CraWiing out, I sought arother refuge, which, in turn, became an oven, forcing me to

change. And so for the best part of that day I went from place to place among the rocks, seeking shade, and all the while getting. fainter and more parched from want of food and water.

Late in the afternoon I resumed my march in sheer desperation. But it was woeful, heart-breaking work. I had got past the stage of acute pain from hunger, but the thirst was 4 worse agony than ever. Fortunately the hot, noxious wind had fallen abouj noon, so that I breathed more freely but it was still the struggle of a dy: ing man. énd indeed if relief dié not come quickly I should soon ceasj to be in need of it.
