In a very short time Drummond became an expert at the rock dissolving as was his friend. lie called it piffling slow work, but was nevertheless extremely industrious at it, although days and weeks and,, as they suspected, months passed before the bands of the two friends met in the center of the rock. One lucky circumstance that favored them, was the hdbit of the jailer in visiting Drummond only once eyery four days.

The cpl was again plunged in dense blackness, through which could be heard the panting and scuffling of the prince and the jailer. Barely a second of time had elapsed since first Jack had seized the man, but that second had sufficed for the latter to summon his great brute strength and shake off his less gigantic opponent and to draw his pistol.

Then a key clicked and the room was flooded with incandescent light, just as Alan, releasing his grip on the Russians throat, dealt him a short arm blow on the chin with all the power of his practiced muscles.
