CHAPTER XXIII. (Cont'd.)
It was as hard a job as we tackled,
but after two hours, Hugh and Ver-
non King were «bre to pry the slab
loose and let it fall ot.t with a mighty
splash. Hagh thrust in the end •of
his crowbar, and it struck brickwork.
Our torches showed this to, be very
flimsy, and whe it was pounded it
rang hollow.
By t end of the afternoon we had
smashed througl an embrasure nearly
n
three feet high and four feet long,
It.gh nominated 3etty for the honer
of leading the way ieto the dim pass-
ege which abutted on the hole. The
test of us crawled in afterward.
The passage was seven feet high
and four feet wide. It led straight
back between brick walls into a large
cham'zer the roof of which was upheld
by brick piers. The place was musty,
foetid e•, en, and vcly damp, but as our
torches struggled through the dark-
ness, the rays were captured and jug-
gled by glinting, sheeny heaps that
were stacked against the piers and
walls. Betty started forward invol-
untarily. There was a slurring sound,
and then a tiny tinkling that died
away in a faint murmurous ss-ssh.
"It's gold!" she cried.
We flashed our torches right and
left. It was true. Great golden piles
sloped away from us. The fragments
of the bags that once had held this
wealth projected from the multitude
of coins. At the end of the chamber
the pies mounted to the roof. To the
left stood several tiers of ancient
chests. The first yielded rt once to
the point of Hugh's knife. When he
flung the lid back it fell apart, but we
scarcely noticed it Zrothe dazzling
glamor of the gems that seemed al-
most ti -fight to escape from their
centuries -long imprisonment.
Jewels and jewelry and massive
plate were heaped in indiscriminate
confusion, huge salvers, cups, chalices,
amphorae, bracelets, armlets, amulets,
brooches, necklaces, rings beyond num-
ber—and running in and out of the
set stones, the endless profusion of
unmounted gems, diamonds, amethysts,
rubies, opals, pearls, sapphires, top-
azes, g =rrets, turquoises, emeralds,
and others I could not name.
Betty threw her arms around Hugh,
as shameless for the moment as Kara
"Oh, I'm so glad!" she murmured.
"It's as much as you thought it would
be, isn't it?"
Hugh was dazed.
"As much? I never dreamed of any-
thing like this! I told myself it was.
up to me to see the thing through on
Uncle James' account. But—this! I
say, Professor, how much do you sup-
pose there is here?"
Vernon King swept his torch in an
arc arotrd the chamber, the extreme
confines of which le are shrouded in
shadow•
"I ant no fiscal expert, my dear boy.
It would' take a committee of jewelers advice.
to assess those chests alone. I should like _his cannot
be"A trestedtinmany temen's hands," he
said. "You inust put the treasure on
a boat, and you must go on that boat,
yourselves, and you must be sure you
can trust the captain."
"But how can we find such a boat
and captain?" asked Hugh.
"Leave that to me," answered
Wasso Mikali promptly. "And in the
meantime you must make boxes for
the treasure."
We heard no more from him for a
week. Prisoners as well as captors
labored with saw and hatchet, hammer
and nails. As fast as we shaped the
boxes we carried them down to the
drain and packed them, wrapping gold
and gems in whatever fabrics we could
find around the house, and in this way
we used up all the loose lumber, cloth
and bedding in Tokalji's store rooms.
Then one night as we sat in the
atrium, very aro rs to hands and fin-
gers from unaccustomed carpentry,
there was a knock on the courtyard
door, and Wasso Mikali ushered in a
tall, lean man in a blue seaofficers cap.
He left this man i the courtyard and
came clown to us.

who does not fear

that if we do business with hint the
girl stays in my custody for surety of
his honesty. He is a Russian and his
ship is his own."
"You did not tell him what we
wanted hin. for?" questioned Hugh.
"Tell him only what you must,"
counseled Wasso Mikali. "I think I
have a hold on this man, but I would
not trust himenore than I could help."
"Why can't we tell him that we have
made a remarkable find of ancient
statuary, mosaics and that sort of
thing?" I suggested. ' "He will look us
up, and the story will sound credible
for King. We'll let him know that the
government wouldn't like to see such
a valuable collection go to foreigners,
and we have to smuggle it."
"That will do,"Nikka approved.
"And that will explain why v,e -lust
send the boxes aboard secretly."
We -lade the deal with the Russian

chap, but a bit put to it to earn the

Hilyer is consumed with revenge.
Mahkouf is politely threatening, He
figures that he has us on aha hip be-
cause of the killings last night --mur-
der of His Imperial Majesty's subjects
and all that."
"Could we, perhaps, detain them
sufficiently long to permit us to get
away?" inquired my .uncle.
"With the treasure? Hardly! I say,
do you realize the sheer physical job
of removing that stuff. In the mean-
time we might hold IVIrs. Hilyer with-
out causing any comment, but Mah-
kouf is a well known person. He isn't
'The Grand Vizier's Jackal' for no-
thing."
"I chink I can use Tokalji to work
out this -mess," said Hugh. He'd do
anything for miney."
Wasso Mikali brought hi the bri-
gand chief, his broken arm in a sling,
a sour glint of hatred in his eye.
"Tell hini," returned Hugh, "that
I'll give him 100,000 pounds Turkish if
he'll come over to out side, and back
us up against Mahkouf Pasha."
The change in Tokalji's manner was
ridiculous.
"He says," translated Nikka, "that
he will kill the Sultan for you for
100,000 pounds Turkish. But he wants
e the money:"
tion in which .P,ey found themselves,
the Slt.va still running tinder the old
Imperial registry, She was a tidy
tramp of 5,000 tons odd, and Captain
Malakovich made no t,bjection to turn
-
tag over the necessary cabins for our
nee. He expressed hinaself feelingly
as glad to help any one who was try-
ing to diddle the Turkish government,
and he served us with a loyalty that
earned him a considerable additional
honorarium upon our arrival in South-
ampton,
"I'll enter your ,.tt.ff on my mani-
fests after we clear the port," he said
frankly, "I don't care whether I ever
come bi.ek here. As to Aleilcouan---"

word that I have landed y.,r gentle-

"Nikka," said Thigh. "Aren't you
coining with us?"
"No. -,Je are going to wander, Kara
and I. We will go up into •.he Rhod-
npes -with Wasso Mikali for a while,
and then we will take the Tzigane's
Trail through the -Balkans ani over
the Danube and the Carpathians, on,
on, wherever we choose."
So when the clava steamed out of
the Golden Horn, Hugh and Betty,
Vernon King, Watkins and :+ waved
goodby to our comrade.
Watkins shook his head sorrowfully.
"I've been thinking, Mister Jack,
sir," he said. "They'll never believe
this story in the Servants' 'All."
"They'd believe you if you accepted
your •share of the treasure," I told hint.
"Per'eps," he admitted. "But what

lovely stones; his eyes shone.
"Tell hint they are his if he plays the course of our acquaintance Wat-
fair with us," continued Hugh when kins indulged in a broad grin.
he judged he had made his effect. (The End.)
"He awaits your orders," Nikka
translated. "Wait a minute. He says
for you not to worry about Mahkouf
Pasha. He, the Pasha, has been smug-
gling arms from Roumania to Kemal
Pasha at Angora."
"I knew such precious scoundrels
would sell each other out," said Hugh.
"We'll have Mahkouf in here and give
him an earful."
The irterview that followed was ab-
surd and sordid. Mahkouf Pasha after
an attempt at hectoring defiance, col-
lapsed completely.
Maude Hilyer was last. Hugh ap-
pealed to her on the grounds of self-
interest.
"It's all very well what you say,
Lord Chesby," she whimpered. "But
what am I going to do now? Hilyer's
dead. Little Depping is loaded with
mortgages. His cousin George will in-
herit what's left of it, anyway. And
I—"
"I ani not going to pay you black-
mail," returned Hugh coldly, "but you
may call on nay solicitors this day two
months."

"If y, aren't very lucky, Hugh, you
are going to lose all this stuff just
ecause you were lucky enough to find
it," said Nikka's voice behind us.
We turned to confront him. Kara's
dark, passionate face was at bis shoul-

"Mrs. Hilyer," I exclaimed.
"Right. She's not alone. She came

He shrugged his shoulders.

Reluctantly and with many a back-

to the atrium. "I'll have that pre-
