"E, ..ftTlon's no irood!" The sliort man stopped to wipe his perpplrlnp brow. "It nln't no good, I say! Rook larnln' chases us out o' Paris an' dumps us on a wobble-Jointed ship wot spiles our appetites. Hook larnln' Kits us Into dls (CJod-forsaken hole, nn' we ain't wcatln' Koose grease up no twenty mile Greek mountain; oh, no, we ain't, us' 'cause It's writ about In do Sunday school books." "Doubtless," said the taller man, rasily, "but think of the view you're Betting! our previous business experi ence has afforded no such opportunities to Inspire tho mind. That blue mirror by a thousand keels for three thousand years. Yonder Is I'aianassus, veiled In spotless snow. Athens hides beyond the eastern hills, and Marathon, with Its glorious memories" "Oh, chuck de mem'rles!" "Oh, I'm all right, Sweet "William," paid the tall man, looking down nt his sinewy, well-knit frame, looking every Inch the gentleman In knickerbockers, hose and Norfolk jacket. "I'm only sorry that you would Insist on dese crating these sylvan solitudes with the unlovely garb of a materialistic civil ization. But here comes Dlmltrl." Vp tho steep path there now tolled a little man man with sharp features and beady eyes of a mongrel Greek. "You climb brave, centlemans," he panted, as ho reached them. "I think I should never catch you. I haf let' the horses In ver' good place, and 1 haf engage a poor man of the village who will cumo bearing your little bag gages. See, there down! He comes! In yet five more minutes- wo shall bo nt the monastery how you call him the convent. Oh, I assure you, the largos' and mos' hospital In Greece, ou shall see." A fourth man climbed painfully Into sight, clad In the costume of a Greek peasant, and bearing two silver mounted handbags and a roll of blan kets; and the queerly-assorted party moved on up the stecn. High above them there seemed to hang In tho air rather than rest on the huge cliff, a rambling, mnny-wlndowcd building. On the front a balcony overhung them ns they passed, still two hundred feet below, and from the dizzy perch a bell pealed out a brazen weleoms. Thirty or forty monks hung shyly about tho passage by the belfry when the stately, bearded Eenodochos in his tall hat and black gown came forward to lead tho party Into tho great vault ed guest chamber. About Its sides were ranged ten narrow beds. The wall was partly covered with uncouth pictures In on ancient manner. "You shall slcyp here alone, gentle mans," said the courier, as he bust led about, looking after the comfort of the travelers. "There nre other guests, oh, yes! seven or nine poor fellows, and the bearer and me. The convent must receive all who come. Hut this is the chamber of the guests very distinguished. Hete Lordos Byron slept. King Otho, too. You shall be In good companies. The other beds, they ore not use." "Kin we see the " "You bhall see the treasures," cried the excitable courier, Interrupting him. "Away from the world, the world has not their equal. Ah, such beauti ful objects! Then the view from the top of the cliff!" "The views must be fine, I grnnt," said the taller tiaveler, "but I own" hero he turned with a bow to tho Kenodochos and to a still older, more stately monk who Just then entered and who proved to be the Prior him self "that I am become somewhat skeptical about these wonderful old hooks nnd pictures in out-of-the-way places. The collections in the big cities nie apt to be liner, as well as less far to seek." With a deprecating gesture the cour ier translated this speech to tho Zeno dochos and the Pi lor. They exchanged a smile of amusement not without a tinge of hurt pride. "Hospitality first; then wo shall see," lesponded the Prior. "Some people who have traveled much heve been so urbane fis to praise our little churcn and its few treasures." A younger brother, on whoso un shorn chjek and chin the first beard of manhood lay soft and thin, entered noiselessly, btfarinlg a. traj wheieon rested a single spoon, a bowl of sweet meats, three glasses of water and three tiny cups of Turkish coffee, Tho two travelers In turn tasted the contents of the bowl a very sweet compote of citron and then enjoyed, ns only men tired with a long tramp may do, the delicious, strong, sweet coffee. The Prior drank with them. Then they sat some minutes In chat, the courier interpreting. The recluso Prior had heard In his cell something of the wonders of America, and wanted to know if in tho Vnlted States everybody were rich; If Trench or English were the language most spoken; If the Greeks who went there did not all become wealthy, and If tho Amerlcanas were not much In terested In Greece to which queries In all tho world there Is no other treatment to pure, bo sweet, 10 gate, so speedy, for pre. ervlni;, purifying, and bcautlfiing the skin, scalp, and hair, and eradicating every hu mor, a warm baths with CimcnitA.

"It you are now rested," said tho Prior, after ten Tninutes or so thus spent, we'll show you our church." "Very well, Dlmtrl," said tho tall traveler; "but don't let us miss tho view." "Well, whispered the short man, as they traversed a maze of passages, "y'are a good one " "Shut up!" said the other; "can't you see I'm counting my steps?" As tho party entered tho church they wore joined by a third monk, the li brarian, who opened the door of a passage leading from the quaint old house of worship, used for thlry gen erations, Into a low-vaulted, gloomy room where, carelessly piled upon each other In unlocked cases, were a score of volumes which a bibliomaniac would do murder to possess Over these the tall man lingered so Ions In THE HUGE CLUMSY LOCKS critical appreciation that his compan ion grow restive. Mr. Ashby's Impatience disappeared when with loving hand the librarian lifted from Its wrappings a book whoso heavy covers of solld gold were thick set with blazing gems. Then followed a peep at reliquaries whose ornaments of diamonds and emeralds and rubles were In their possessors' eyes value less by comparison with 'their sacred contents. Thtre were cups and chalices btnten from soft gold; ikons framed in pearls and amethysts such a collec- i tion, In short, as a 'thousand years will gather In a quiet nook, sheltered from the storms of the troubled world. There weie gifts from the wealth of mighty emperors like Constantlne, nnd from feebler gropers In the crepuscular middle ages like Comnenus and the Palaeologl. Half the world had paid tribute here; but these simple-minded monks tolled for their dally bread, holding In trust a treasure whose value neither they nor any man could tell. And, with open door to every stranger who came, they Blept soundly o" nights behind their primitive bolts and bars. "Now, If you will permit me," said tho taller traveler, after they had feasted their eyes nt length, "I would like to make a sketch or 'two from tho bindings of those wonderful old vol umes I saw first, and then let us go, Dlmltrl, t" the top of tho cliff. Pray thank the Prior for his goodness and assure him that, for once, I am quite convinced. Such things as the librar ian has shown me I have never been elsewhere." "Nor me, neither," said Mr. Ashby. "Thankee kindly, gentlemen." Each traveler dropped a golden coin Into the offertory of the church us he passed out. When the sun had sunk like a great globe of tiro over the Albanian moun tains, and when the Inst trace of red was fading from tho sky the party re turned from tho mountain top to the guest chamber. In the visitors' book they wrote two names, "Harold Mor gan" and "William J. Ashby," and then supper was placed before them. They wero served by a beautiful boy not more than ten years old, a novice, whose perfect breeding was the result of utter unconsciousness of self nnd complete obedience. Demetrlos, the courier, hovcu-d In the background, fearing to offend the hospitable monks by assistance, but keeping a watchful cyo upon his guests and from time to tlmo making a suggestion for their greater comfort. Then with cherry good nlghtB their hosts left tho two to their repose. "Dis is easy!" exclaimed Mr. Ashby, In nn undertone, when the door had closed. "Dl Is de easiest yet! Dere ain't a lock In de placo wot weighs Itss'n twenty pounds, an' I could pick any ono of 'em wld me teef," "Still," said the taller man, who sat at the table studying his notebook, "It's just as well to neglet no reason able precaution. I hn,vo here an ex cellent plan of tho whole place, so far as it concerns us, with every distance marked and tho character of each door and lock Indicated." "Shall we need" and Ashby mndo nn expressive gesture toward his hip pocket. "Rather not! It Isn't many years since these monka thrashed a wholo army of Turks. They're a splencWd lot of fellows and as strong as bulls, If you fired a pop here, and they found out about our little plans, there wouldn't be enough of us left for the coroner," Unlocking both handbags, the taller man first carefully examined the door anad windows of tho guest chamber, and then drew out a couple of night gowns of sheer, fine linen, which would Back In surprisingly little space; two. tiny but handsome toilet cases, one at 'cast of which was probably more meant for show than use; n few col lars and handkerchiefs, two tiny lan terns, nnd finally some bits of Btcel, eaoh carefully wrapped by Itself In soft cloths. "Now," said he, at length, "we nre all ready, but I suppose we must glvo them a little time to get sleep. Mean while I'll study this plan again. They'll all be off by cloven at tho latest. Moon rises about two. By that time we ought to bo well down the hill. No telegraph. Path over the mountains as plain as day. Morning 'train for Athens con nects with steamer for Constantinople. XVo lock door and throw away key. They'll think we're sleeqlng late until well, there are always accidents, but It looks nil right. Dlmltrl may have a bad quarter of an hour tomorrow ex plaining our absence." "Hope so. 'E's collared plenty of our dough, all right, all right. 'E's a peach, dat Dlmltrl." "Overcharging honest travelers Is a flno art In tho Levant. -Got the stuff ready for tho dogs?" "Yep." "Lie down, then, and get some sleep. I can't. Tho more you snore the bet ter. I'll wake you In time." "Within five minutes the regular rise and fall of Ashby's chest and his heavy, hoarse breathing gave testi mony that he was Indeed In tho land of Nod. No other sound was heard. The taller traveler nat reading a paper bound book, glancing from time to time nt his sleeping companion. Tho light of the candle shown back, reflected from the rounded surface of the shining bits of steel. One who had seen such things before might have recognized them as the parts of a sec tional "jimmy." The night was clear. Tho blinking stars looked down from a. doom of un clouded blue upon -the great cliff, tow ering out of an Impenetrable gulf of WERE EASILY PICKED. ' blackness, where tho valley yawned below. There was no sound that stole abroad except the low, pleased rlpplo of a. little runnel tinkling down tho sheer slope; the leaves of all tho trees were still, in the hush that proceeded tho rising moon. In the starlight the buildlng-a that toso from the cliff seemed a part orf It. No lanrp gleamed from any window. The only ono that was burning In all that part of the world, save the pencils of light In the Ikon lamps, was care fully shaded, as Its stealthy bearer stole along the halls, picking his way by counted paces atad by ciunnlng touch almost at If It hud been day. Another figure followed. At the door of the church the taller man stood aside, and with deft touch the other began work upon it. No need- of any "jimmy" here. The huge, clumsy looks, first thoroughly oiled In every part, wero easily picked, and the two penertated to the dim low-vaulted Interior, where the figures of pictured tulntsan'd martyrs and angels looked down upon them with pitying, inscrut able smiles. The lantern, with Its slide now opened, cast a light that feebly pierced the gloom. It shone on the gleaming of dull gold, and picked from tho polished surface a gum hero and there on a ray of light that seemed moie brilliant than Its own. "We'll stack up wot we kin fin'" hoaisely whispered Mr. Ashby, wlio now seemed to take the command. "Don't stop to rip off book covers, or dig out de spnrklors now. Don't bod der wit' notin' wot ain't do real stuff. Put 'em all near the door. Den we kin sneak wit' a few han'rulls if dey conies w'lle we're gittln' de flngs." Noiselessly they crept back and forth, selecting, rejecting, scanning. A second tiny dark lantern was produced and lighted. The sparkling heap by the door grew, with jeweled books, and golden cups and caskets wherein lay sainted bones now rudely disturbed, and great gleaming crosses, and fair carved crozlers of wonderful work manship. '"At's enough." said crooked Ashby at last, resting from his labors. "Hero's twlcct wot wo kin lug. W'y didn't de Lord make me a boss, so't I o'iI carry every stick? Itlp of dem book covers." Tho taller traveler, with trembling fingers, was about to obey when a sound btolo faintly through tho still ness, ".My God! watte dat?" whispered Ashby, For a moment nothing was heard. They breathed rapidly In their excite ment, but noiselessly, with parted lips. To tho taller traveler it seemed that tho beating of his heart must bo au diblo throughout the building. Its quick pounding confused his brain, Tho sound camo again. It began in a torturing expectancy rather than anything audible, and gradually crept upon conviction In a long, low, perfect ly steady hiss, sibilant and penetrating. It was tho sound that nil the East uses to attract attention. From Its full, unmistakable Bwell It died away again gradually, and tho silence reigned 03 before. TO BE CONTINUED.
