Even as Bluebell, with a sudder little gasping cry drew back, she caw the rider pause. He turned his horse round and waved something It luooked like a pistol-- in the air, as If to some one behind him; then, turning again, rode straight op the aenue. Bluebell only waited to see another and yet another horseman shojt Into view, then, turning quickly to hr door, she opened it and flew along the passage to her fithir's room She knocked funously In a mom nt her father's ou-- demanded sleep ly, Who Is there?

There were only women in house. BeHdes her aunt and be.df there was Marie, the girl they had had as servant for two years, and two half-casZulu girls, who slept downstairs The native boys slept In an outside shed. Adam Leslie and. Bluebell herself were the only two who enl defeniheffiselvBsr "sgatnst a nr attacking party, for Bluebell had long since learned to use firearms. I am ready! cried her father In a moment.

Perhaps, after all, they have no unfriendly Intentions. Why should they? We have never done them any harm. We have altbn-l-i-b- te ways Hist! exclaimed her father. A horrible spasm had passed over hls face; but at that moment the scuffle cf what seemed a score of horses hoofs sounded tinder the stoop ontslde. and' a loud exclamation was uttered.

May God Almighty forg.ve le n, high-steppi- ng lf The words were strangled In his throat. He made a wild movement, as if he would have leaped out of the window upon Moore; then a sudden, strange convulsion shook him from head to foot, and he fell back against Bluebell, rolled from her grasp, and, falling to the floor, lay there, after one or two convulsive motions, perfectly still. Miss Elizabeth gave another cry, and moving forward, bent over him. He lay on his tide, his face still a deep, almost a purple, red in hue, his eyes half open but glazed and unseeing:, hi javr?tropped. ' Bluebell, stricken dumb and motionless, stood beside him, unable to make any attempt to raise him from the ground. Meantime a rapid consultation was going on between the leader of the commando and Gerald Moore. You can set Are to the house and do as you like with the old man! said Moore, savagely. "I have something else to do. The girl Is my property and I claim her. "Do as you like, replied the young leader cattily He eyed Moore with cold contempt. Notwithstanding the use that they had made of Moore, his was not a character which commended itself to the Boer leaders, who knew more about him than did most Englishmen. "I have nothing to do with any dirty private work. My duty is to take Adam Leslie, dead or alive, and I mean to confine myself to that" In a few minutes the word of command had been given to the proceeded to break down the door, and also to force their way into the house by means of the glass tfoofbf a bedroom which opened onto the stoop. The women upstairs heard the noise, and Miss Elizabeth uttered a terrified exclamation, while the servants bowled and frightened shrieked In concert, J 1 shall go to them and demand their right to force themselves Into any one's house like this! said Bluebell, suddenly starting as If from a horrible dream. Before Miss Elizabeth could prevent her she had moved from the room and opt to the heal of the etc Ira. All was dark below, only she could see that the outer door had been opened, and a flood of moonlight In upon the floor. In Its light she saw the Boer?, In their sindy-colore- d clothes, striding through that beam of light. But she had no time to speak, no time even to think. Before she knew what was about to happen she was seized in a strong, almost vlce-llk- e grip, something dark, close and stifling was fastened tightly arojind her face, so that she could not utter a sound save a low 'stifled moan, and she felt hertelf lifed off her feet and carried as easily as if she was a child downstairs.

At thU time no word had been uttered. Sudden y Bluebell's cap.or, paused, the pest moment B;upe.l heard a long, peculiar call riuug on .he night air. It was like the ' oo-eof the Australian bash. After a momentary pause it was answered. Then Bluebell s captor continued his walk, joit.ng and stumbling at eve.y step. Presently there was another pause. Then Bluebell fancied she heard the sound of horses hoofs, but her hearing was so deafened by the thick cloth .hat she roubj pn he pure . In a few minutes, however, she knew she had been eorrcct. She felt herself lifted of up and placed on the some animal, which she guessed, from the height and from the use of the e. to be a horse. Then a voice spoke close to her car the voice that was so hateful to Bluebell, and with such good reason. There Is no use In resistance; you are wholly in my power, and I am determined you shall not escape me now. You are on horseback. I am going to release your arms so that you may hold on with all your might, for we are going over a bad bit of ground.

Of course Bluebell could make no attempt at moving. Her hands were released from the cloth that had pinioned them to her " side, reins were placed in hep hand, a whip wca flicked in the air, aud the animal beneath moved forward. For the next hour Bluebell found thinking Impossible. The horse Jolted, stumbled and humped at every step, sometimes putting" h!3 fore-Teinto holes from which he had to be extricated by main force, tfcen plunging over loose clumps of grass or shrubs with such suddenness as almost to unseat her. Bluebell was accustomed to the difficulties c" riding on the veldt, but now, disabled by the want of sight, suffocated as she was by the cloth over her head and mouth, she was utterly unable to keep steady, and several times her guide had to seize her as she was falling from the horse. .

Keep them quiet. It will be all right, auntie. They cant mean us harm. It Is the Boers, Bluebell said, in short whispers, for she was listening at the same time to what went on at the window. Her father had flung it open. A voice from below called out: Open the door to us, Adam Leslie, and surrender yourself as our prisoner, or we shall burn your house about your ears!" Bluebell did not recognize the voice, which, though Dutch in accent, Bpoke Her father anexcellent English. swered, In a voice that trembled with passion; 1 will not open the door to you, you Boer dogs!
