CROUCHING AMONG CAMELS She glanced across the rock and saw that Haffi had now sat down not far from where the camels were crouched. For the time being and perhaps for gocd he had given up the pursuit. Lynne settled back into a more comâ€" fortable position on the smooth, warm rock; she still held her automatisc in her hand, and before laying it down beside her, broke the breech to reasâ€" sure herself that the chambers were sure herself that the chambers were loaded. / They were notâ€"the gun was empty! Lynne was horified. All this time she had imagined that the automatic was loaded and useful. But now she recolâ€" lected that Julian had been showing her how to clean it after her shooting practice in the camp at Kelâ€"elâ€"abir. She had set it beside her with the intention of reloading it, and she had forgoiten that there was no ammuniâ€" tion in it when she had returned it to its holster. In dGdismay she laid the automatic down on the rock at her side. She could still threaten Haffi with it, but not. if it came to a pinch, defend herself. There was no ammunition in the packs on either of the camels, even supposing that she could have got at it with Haffi sitting so near. It was all in the pack of the camel which Julian had taken with him to Kelâ€"elâ€"abir. Why on earth had she not made cerâ€" tain that the automatic was properly loaded before Julian left? There was no doubt about itâ€"she would never make a proper adventuress until she learned to expect disaster. The afterncon wore on, the sun sank towards the west, and Haffi did not come near her again. She could see him lying on the ground among the rocks beside the camels. She saw him get up and go and get himself some food, and the sight made her feel very hungry and thirsty, but she was not going to tempt providence by going anywhere near Haffi to get a drink. The sun sank, and Julian did not come. It began to grow cooler, and Lynne felt decidedly chilly. : She waited. Gradually the light fadâ€" ed and the wide, lonely, landscape sunk into darkness. There was no moon. It was a dark enough night. Lynne was just making up her mind to get herâ€" self a blanket and not bother about Haffi, when she heard sounds in the darkness on her left. darkness on her left. Ssomeoneâ€"Haffi, without a doubtâ€" was creeping towards her over the 1ocks! There was no doubt that he. was there. Dismayed and angry Lynne crouched behind her rock. Now, indeed, her automatic was useless! She could not frighten him with it, because he could not sge her aiming at him. Lynne scrambled up and slipped in among the rocks, away from him. Thank heaven for the darkness! At least she could hide. "Â¥ou are there, aren‘t you, Hiding away from Haffi? Why do you not shoot at me, eh?" There was a pause, then his voice spoke again in a tone of surprise, reâ€" lief, triumph. There was silence. Then a little away a pebble dropped among rocks. YÂ¥ou leave the gun here on the ground!" With her heart in her mouth Lynneé realized that she had left the useless automatic on the rock were she had been sitting. By a most unlucky chance he had found itâ€"and knew that she was helpless! She felt about and picked up a large stone: and then as he came blunderâ€" ing towards her, she heaved it at him | with all her strength. It struck him, for sh> heard his cry of rage and pain. she scrambled up and darted among the larger rocks, and found a way through them. She ran across the open, the dark earth lying before her under the sky. Before her was the north and she stumbled ahead, hurrying to put as much distance between herself and Maffi as possible. Once she got into the open he would not have a chance of ' finding her in the darkness. As she got away from those encireâ€" ling rocks her fears subsided, and she stumbled on breathlessly, considering what she had best to do. | She could not trust her sense of diâ€" rection to get to Memshi; the danger of getting lost in this waterless country was too great. The only thing of which she was certain was the way to Guthâ€" rie‘s camp. By taking ner bearings from the Pole Star, and walking straight towards it, in time she must some to the summit of that ridge from which she and Julian had gone down to Guthrie‘s camp on previous occasions. A sound in the distance behind her caught her ear. Somebody stumbling along over the stones. Haffi in Pursuit! Ferhaps in the starlight he could see this white skirt of hers still. "Oh, so no wonder you not shoot! ’ not shoot! WayV the She decided that her best way of spending the night was to go on until she was within a few hundred yards of Guthrie‘s camp. There she could lie down in the darkness among the bushâ€" es and wait until morning. Loath as she was to have to rely on it, help was at hand. la cowled head and shoulders against !the dull glow of the fires below. Wondering what on earth was hapâ€" pening, Lynne lay very still, fearful that one of them would find her; They were Ilyatsâ€"and what they were doing there she could not think. Two of them stopped a few yards away from her, crouching down on the very edge of the cliff, and stavyed there, speaking to one ancther in whispers. There must have been twenty of them at least. WALKING THROUGH THE NIGHT Lynne took to her heels and trotted northward until she was too breathless to run any further. She dropped to a walk, and walked steadily on up the rising ground towards the ridge against the northern stars. She pictured his fury with Haffi, and exasperation with himself for not leavâ€" ing her better protected. She mad reasons to fear Haffi. Such a vileâ€"looking specimen might stick aAt ncothing to keep her quiet. After this incident he would be afraid to face Julian; and Guthrie‘s words: "If I were to wring your neck and bury you here no one woud ever find you!" were fresh in her mind. ¢ She decided to wait by the camp until daylight and then make her way toâ€" wards Kelâ€"elâ€"abir, where shé might hope to fall in with Julian. But Lynne blamed only herself in that matter. She should have bluffed Haffi with her automatic while it was yet light, taken the camels, and gone off and left him. She should have made sure that her automatic was loaded in the first place. The fault was all hers. The utter silence of the night was on the country, making it very oppressâ€" ive, and now and again the sense of her loneliness made her shiver. It was a vast relief to her when she arrived on the summit of the ridge, and saw the farâ€"off speck of light from Guthrie‘s camp. She had not imagined that the camp fires of the enemy could ever be such a welcomhe sight! She walked down towards it; and though she felt rather sick and weary after the events of the day, Lynne thought that she had never seen more beautiful stars than the large pure orbs which hung so low overhead. She picked her way down the dark slop2 until she came within fifty yards of the camp; here she lay down, on the sumimit of the sloping cliff face; icoverâ€" ed with bushes and not so steep that ore could not have scrambled down it to the tents round the well thirty feet below. | As usual all save one of the tents was dark," and again as the wind was toâ€" wards her she heard voices inside it, and several times somebody laughed; the scounds gave her the impression that probably Guthrie and his assistâ€" ants were playing cards. There was something very homely about the tent with the lighs inside it, and the murmur of those cheerful Engâ€" lish voices in the silence of the lonely wilderness. Now she was no longer walking Lynne found the night air cold, and she huddled together in the shelter of the bushes as well as she could to keep warm. She envied them their somâ€" fort, there below. What would they have thought, she wondered, had the men down there in the tent known that she was up here? What would Guthrie think, when she and Julian snatched the Cups of Alexâ€" ander from under his very nose. Lynne smiled in the dark as she hugged her cold body with her arms, trying to keep warm. some time later she saw three men come out of the centre tent; the three men scattered among the other tents, lights appeared in two of these, and then these lights also were extinguishâ€" ec.; â€"â€" > 3 It seemed only a few minutes after this that Lynne heard a sound which brought her heart to her mouth. Someâ€" one was creeping through the bushes behind her! She thought at once of Haffi. sghe listened with ‘all her earsâ€"and hsard the sound again; she heard mutâ€" fled footfalls on all sides, There was not one person, but numbers of peoâ€" ple moving along the cliffâ€"top where she lay! + Almcst stumbling over her as he went, one of them passed between her and the edgeo of the cliff, ant sane saw a ~mawled head and shoulders against They hemmed her in behind, and Lynne could not get away. If they saw her moving they would merely think that she was one of themselves, and so she crawled hurriedly forward, and slid have thought, she She waited, wondering what was goâ€" ing to happen next and then she saw them on all sides of her, dark shapes, scrambling silently down the fage Oof the ... then she realized what was happening. and scrambled a few yards down the clif. This was the Ilyat raid of which Julian had spokenâ€"which Julian, perâ€" haps, had actually planned. Perhaps Julian himself was with them! BY LIGHT OF CAMP FIRES In a moment she saw the dark figâ€" ures of the tribesmen pour into the glow of light from the camp fires, dartâ€" ing hither and thither, with lightning rapidity. She saw the camels, their tether ropes cut, rise up swaying, and then go leaping away in panic under the blows and shout of the raiders. She saw two of the tents go down as the raiders hacked through the pegâ€"cords. Boxes, cooking utensils, saddle equipâ€" ment, were flying about everywhere. All this seemed to take place in a few seconds. The collapse of the tents on their inmates had effectually checked resistance from the Englishmen who were sleeping in them. ... But in anâ€" other moment as the tide of destrucâ€" tion swirled round the camp, a revolver shot rang out. Lynne saw the spurt of fire from the «direction of one of the collapsed tents, and realized that Guthâ€" In an instant the swift shadows of the raiders fied towards the open darkness beyond the fires; the work of destrucâ€" tion was abandoned, and in a moment they were darting away towards safety. A few, cut off by the man with the auâ€" tomatic, darted towards the cliff and came scrambling up it. rie o} one of his assistants had crawled free of the wreckage. came scrambling up it. The raiders came scrambliig up the hill towards Lynne, and voices shoutâ€" ing in English, "This way! Head them off!" and "Come onâ€"after them!" told Lynne that the tribesmen were being pursued. Not wishing to be discovered, she joined the general rush up the side of the cliff. she stumbled, and fell on her knees and looked behind her just in time to see a spurt of fire accompanied by a loud report, not five yards away from her. Fortunately the shot was aimed up the hill at the flying attackers. Lynne sprang up and secrambledad forâ€" ward, but the man with the gun had seen har moving, and he was tco quick for her. His foot struck hers as he leapt at her. Lynne lost her footing, but found her arm grasped and twisted up beâ€" hind her, and she was held up by her captor‘s grip. "Got you!" said Guthrie, breathlessly, fancying from the size of the dim figâ€" ure in the dark that it was a boy or vyouth he was holding. *# Lynne struggled and as though she had been the limpest wet rags, he merely tightened his grip and passins his other arm around her throat, swung her down cn to her knees. He seemed to have no further interest in the pursuit of the raiders, but steod beside her, feeling in his pockets for a match. "So it‘s you again, is it?" he said. Lynne‘s breath hissed through her teeth as she crouched on the ground for the pain in her arm wWaSs still terrific. Guthrie had no idea of the painful efâ€" fects of the trick he had learned in his boyood from professional wrestler, He struck a match, and in its momentary light confirmed his suspicion that the person he had caught was Lynne Orâ€" mond. *L ha\e one here!" replied Guthrie He put his hand under Lynnes arm and drew her to her feet.

He peered at Lynne, and she could see in the starlight that he was a very tall *"Now then." said Guthrie curtly to Lynne. "You‘re going to give me satâ€" isfacrtory account of exactly why you are here, and who those friends of vyours were!" He drew her down the hillside coming back down the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE. TIMMINS ONTARNIO Lynne sat down limply by the table, evidently the camp‘s mess table, on which was a chess board with the pieces set out on it as in a half finished game. wards the camp. Lynne was too weak with the pain from her arm to resist. She wondered what they would acstualâ€" ly do to her, if they believed that she had a part in the raid, and she could not prove that she had not. The main tent was still standing and Cartwright lighted the lamp in it. Guthrie took her inside, and she noticed for the first time that he was wearing pyjamas and a dressing gown. move! Guthrie went out again; she could hear his voice outside as he discussed the situation with Cartwright, and she hated him weakly. Her arm still ached intolerably. (To be Continued.) Joseph Latandresse, Burwash townâ€" ship farmer, charged by Chief Forest Ranger Harvey Stain with refusing to protect his property against injury by fire on July 21, was ordered by Magisâ€" trate J.

He said that he had workâ€" ed 16 hours on one fire for the forestry branch, but was only paid for six hours. He gave this as the chief reason for reâ€" fusing to fight the blaze.
