Suddenly his horse pricked up bis ears,
turning them to tho right. Presently
Damlen heard tho soft tread of horses'
hoofs on soft turf. They were in ad
vance of him, and bo turned to go
back, but as he did so be saw Turkish
horsemen leaving the timber for the
road behind him. lie determined to
keep on, trusting to Peter's speed, that
had saved him on so many occasions.
"Peter," be said, "you must make
tbe effort of your life. Never would

have been Intrusted result so dlsus

Peter may not hare understood what
each word uieaut, but ho knew by his
master's tono'tbat a supremo effort
must lie made. He heard tho tread of
horsemen making for the road In ad
vance of him as well as that of those
behind. Gathering bis legs under him,
he made a spring that was followed
by another aud uuother In quick suc
cession. Ho succeeded In passing tho
polut where tbe advance Turks enter
ed the road several hundred yards
ahead of bim. Tho pursuers sent
shots after him, but did not hit either
htm or his horse.
Peter, as usual, carried bis master
away from his enemies, but tbero wore
other parties out looking for Damlen,
who had been Informed ui>on by Po
tnaks, Mahometan citizens of the coun
try. who were ever rendy to give th*
Turkish soldiers information of Chris
tlan rebels. Tearing to meet others,
Damleu tucued off tbe tvad and enter

be could not be seen beyond a very
short dlstauce. and bis horse's tread

That meant tbe death of tho home

But he would not leave him to die It
