'Tour high mmn, as it seems I am not to aeo her ad as you seem to bo tho very best JMtai I have, I should very much like to ask a great favor of you. Will you Jtafce tkta old ring of mine and wish H ea bar finger Just us soon as I have Jtaft your presence?" "Hew did you know she was com fee at again?" In wide eyed wonder. "xew me.

Your I Undo Jack Is waiting for me up there in the hills." Truxton found Mr. Hobbs lu n state bonlprlng on , collnp.se with Colonel Qulnnox and itaddnn. A "I any, Mr. King, there's no more chance of getting out of the" "Listen, Hobbs, we're going to swim out," said Truxton. "Swim! Oh, I shyl By hokcy, he's gone clean daffy!" Hobbs was eylug him with alarm. "Not yet. Hobbs. Later on, perhaps. I had occasion to make n short tour of Investigation this afternoon. Doubt less, gentlemen, you know where the water gate Is, back of the castle. Hobbs, you and I will sneak under thnt slippery old gate like a couple of eels. 1 forgot to ask If you can swim." "To bo sure I can. Under tho gate! My word!" "I see!" cried Qulnnor. "It can bo done! No one will bo watching at that point" The sky was overcast, tho night as black ns cbouy. The four men left the ofllecra' quarters at 1 o'clock, making their way to the historic old gato In tho glen below the castle. "God be with you." said Qulnnox fervently. The four men shook hands, and King slipped luto the water with out n moment's hesitation. Right after me. Hobbs," ho said. and then his bead went under. A minute later he and Hobbs were on the outside of the gate, gasping for breath. Standing In water to their necks. Qulnnox and Hnddan passed the equipment through the barred open ings. There were whispered good- bys and then two Invisible heads bobbed off in the night, wading In the swift flowing canal up to their chins. Swimming would have been danger ous on account of the noise. Holding their belongings high above their heads, with their hearts In their mouths. King and tho Englishman felt their way carefully along the bed of tho stream. A hundred yards from the gate they crawled ashore and made their way up over the steep bank into the thick. wild underbrush. They stealthily stripped themselves of the wet garments and after no end. of trouble succeeded In getting into the dry substitutes. Then they lower ed the wet bundles Into the water and quietly stole off through the brush to the king's highway, a mile or two above town. "We take this path hero for the upper road." finally said Hobbs. "It's a good two hours' walk up the moun tain to Itabot's, where we get the horses." At 4 o'clock, as the sun reached up with his long red fingers from be hind the Monastery mountain. Trux ton King and Hobbs rode away from Rabot's ottnge high In the hills, re freshed and sound of heart. Itabot's son rode with them, a sturdy, loyal bid, who had leaped Joyously at tho chance to serve his prince. (To Be Continued.) Dr. Seely Going East. Dr. E. R.
