This time the mare responded at once and Bade a clean iumD of it. " "Now remember what I told you," she canttened, as she hand ed her mpunt to- Abramovel. "Ask your friends to" etand away from the ridge or they may frighten her." Abramovel ehouted and the men moved away, with the excep tion of one who waa bigger than the rest. "Ask that othr man to more away too." protested Shirley. .You ought to rive yourself every chance at the first." "Oh, I dont mind him!" said Abramovel contemptuously, and started for the Jump. As before, the mare refused the Hump at the last second. Abramo Tel shot over her head. For a mo ment there was mnious alienee, .which was suddenly broken by a ibig man who still lingered near the jump. Abramovel caught the bridle nd was in the paddle, riding Lack for a second attempt "You rushed, her too much, said Shirley. -Don't fluster her. .Take care that." - Abramorel vas cantering away for the second attempt. Shirley .-watched with a sporting Interest, .wholly unaware that there could Je any other interest than a iiorting one. At the secosd attempt, the mare took the jump and Abramo rel kept hi seat. He turned the anare In order to ride round the Jump intothe clearing. Shirley at forward to congratulate her 1'iipil. her comic-opera bandit who looked like a tramp. She was still walking towards Abramovel when one of the ban dits put out bis arm in frontof Iter as barrier. She stopped, but nothing warned her to turn away. hl.e saw Abramovel leap from bis liorse. and rush at the man who 1 ad laughed at his tumble. it wasover before she could turu away. The knives, flashed in the sun there came a hoarse e ' ream as Abramovel re-established his leadership which had fceen destroyed by the laugh. Simultaneously it seemed that there eame a cry in unison from the other five bandits. "Zeto Abramovel!" Sick with horror, Shirley stag gered back to the shack. She was trembling with fear, not an ani mal fear, for her own person but a deep mortal fear. It was her sense of civilization that was out raged. Her Imagination was try In l envisage the Irreconcilable. Abramovel, the comic-opera ban dit who wanted to learn to Jump --and Abramovel. the fierce white savage, fighting hideously like a wild anlmaL For a long time she sat In a kind of stupor and. was roused by Petroa bringing her a meal. It wa tea o'clock and the gangs were ceasing work. "The heat comes," said Petros. "Madame would do well to eat and then sleep." The Greek's words made her suddenly conscious of her physi cal surroundings. she changed from her riding-kit to the lightest things she had and found that It scarcely made any difference. With the heat came the flies and every few minutes, it seemed, the swarms were doubled. She tried to eat but the flies buzzed about her food even while she was conveying it from the plate and she gave up the at tempt. She crept to her bed, and opening the mosquito net, lay down under it. It was a different thing, she found to face the heat of a Mace donian summer in an iron-rooted shack up-country from facing it in the comparatively well-built house in Kalamarla. Sleep was impossible. The heat seemed to break on her from the iron root In waves. Once, feeling she would seffocate, she went out of the shack, paly to be driven back to the protection of the mosquito net. Finding she could do nothing to cool herself, she lay and endured the hours of heat, dozing fitfully, starting to wakefulness in the hope that she had slept for hours and finding that scarcely a couple of minutes had passed. At four o'clock there was a sen sible lessening of the heat and she fell asleep, to wake a couple of hours later cool and refreshed by a slight breeze. Such was the distorting effect of her surround ings that the events of the early morning, Alan's departure, Abra movel's duel, alike seemed "afar off. - At sunset the foreman came up to the shack with the records of the day's work. It took her no more than a few minutes to find out that Alan made records of these In an account book and. vastly relieved at some kind of occupation, she set herself to copy them out. When darkness had fallen, there came to her from the camp the sound of reed instruments and singing and this time the singing was rhythmical. She look ed out- across the clearing.

A big fire had been bnllt near the tents and round it the men were dandnsr. Her cnriositv was aroused but instinct warned her not to leave the shack. She pick ed up a pair of field-rlasses and watched them. She saw a score or so of men, linked by .their arms into a single line while they performed stamp ing movements with their feet. For a minute or more the line would be motionless; then it would move a dozen or so feet tn one direction and then back again. As she watched, Alan's words came back to her: "Sometimes they dance like savages, only worse. . ." Shirley understood now. In the dance was the hide ous animal outline that had shocked her when Abramovel had sprung upon his comrade. It was the dance of a people whose religion Is blood. '" And ahe was alone with them fn the heart of the mountains. I She was seized with acute phy- . ' . . X 1 1 I " aicai icrtur, ummaBUiSDiy maim ed, while they danced round her. Abruptly the moment of panie passed. "They will leave me alone un til Alan comes back," ran her thoughts. "And if Alan never does come back it will be worth it and when It Is all over, somehow, somewhere, we shall both know it was worth it." a a Alan arrived shortly after dawn Of the third day. Shirley was having breakfast when she heard the first of the lorries nimble round the bend Into camp. She wanted to run down to the camp and wait for his car, but prudence restrained her. One by one, the lorries lurched and staggered over the uneven track. There were 12 of them this time the first four loaded with men," some 15 to a lorry the, re mainder, she supposed, contained supplies and equipment. Last of all came Alan's car and out .1 -stepped Alan. She saw him look towards the shack and she stood outside and waved. He waved back and Immediately turned to the men by the lorries. The minutes passed while she watched and wafted for him to come. She lost sight of him in the hire of activity round the lorries. . . . "Why should he bother to come up to the shack?" she ask ed herself. He could , see that she was all right when she wared to him. . There was a lot ' of work for him to do and it would be an idle formality to come all that way merely to ask how she had got on with the brigands whether she had been frightened or subject ed 'to any indignity. Suddenly she saw him on horse back coming towards her gal loping. As he neared the shack, he bellowed to Petros, who leap ed out of the kitehen quarters and took his horse. As Alan dismounted, she Bhrank instinctively back against the door of the 'shack, for there had come to her the ridiculous fancy that ha was going to touch her. He stood before her, a little out of breath, and for a moment neither spoke. "How goes-it?" His tone was balanced, friendly there had beeavno danger of his touching her. "None the worse," ahe answer ed with a smile. "Except that I have been bored to death." "Are you going to stay here now?" he asked. The words electrified her. Be fore he had threatened to remove her from the camp by force. Now he acknowledged that she had won her right to remain. "Yes, please, Alan. she an swered evenly. ''But do give me some work to do!" "I'll work you until you cry for mercy," he answered, laugh ing. Tve got a lorry-load of boos down there. The first thing you can do is distribute them amongst the eomltadjL One pair to each man.. And to make sure, don't give up the new pair unttf each man has given you his old pair. Feel like it?' "You bet!" "Good. I'll give yoil a couple of men to do the actual handling. Make every man who can write sign his name and the date. I think thejr all ean write. It's won derful how well these savages are educated. "When you're ' through with that, go to lorry No. 7 and get the foreman to have It unloaded. It contains medical stores and I want to see they're handled care fully. That'll carry you through the morning and we'll meet here at 10 o'clock tor dejeuner. In the meantime, I'm going to fix up a scouting system with Abramovel." "I've got the Serbians all right" he added. "Just SO. At a pinch they can tackle Stephanos and Abramovel and his little lot as a makeweight" (To be continued tomorrow.)
