"As I remember him, he was slightly taller than Mr. Lasar, with red hair and a moustache of the same shade." "Yes, that's Joe Comstock. No doubt about that," nodded Mr. Marquand. "You didn't hear them say what their plan was, then?" "Not definitely.
"He got off the stage down by the postoffice, just when I was coming up here." "Was he alone?" "The other fellow wasn't with him, if that's what you mean?" "Yes." Tad went over in his mind the conversation the man Lasar had held with his companion, in which the pair were plotting against some one by the name of Marquand. "Oh, well, Chunky, it's none of our concern.
I am sure you have something of importance to yourselves on your minds." "Not to us specially. Perhaps to you, though," replied Tad. "Indeed?" "We may be foolish. If so, you will understand that we have no motive beyond a desire to serve you." "That goes without saying." "Do you know a man by the name of Lasar Bob Lasar, Mr. Marquand?" Mr. Marquand started, eyeing both lads questioningly.
Amurath, the Ottoman Sultan, who had already taken all Roumelia, south of the Balkan, now resolved to pass these mountains, and invade Servia Proper; but, to make sure of success, secretly offered the crown to Wuk Brankovich, a Servian chief, as a reward for his treachery to Lasar.

But Yaroslav rode on and on for half a year, until he came to the kingdom of Daniil the White. On entering the city he went straight to the prison, before which a strong guard was posted: so he slew them all, broke open the gates, entered the prison, and said: "Hail, O Tsar Kartaus, and thou my father, Prince Lasar, and ye twelve knights! How does Heaven protect you?"
Then he commanded the wife of Prince Daniil the White to be put to death, since she had killed his mother, the Princess Epistimia; but he spared the life of Prince Daniil and his nobles as he had not slain the Tsar Kartaus and Prince Lasar; he only put out their eyes, and threw them into prison under a strong guard.
Thereat the Tsarina wept bitterly, and fell to the ground as if dead with grief. Then Yaroslav went to the Tsar Vorcholomei and said that he wished to pay a visit to his father, Prince Lasar, and took his leave. Yaroslav journeyed for nine months, until at last he came to the City of the Sun, and dismounted at the gates of the palace.
In the three days consumed on the journey, the travelers had seen nothing of either Lasar or Comstock. Evidently the pair had decided to leave the country while they still had the chance, fearing that perhaps Mr. Marquand might invoke the aid of the law to rid himself of them if they remained.
"Who are you and what do you mean by shooting us up in this fashion?" he demanded. "You ought to know who we are, Jim Marquand, and you know what we want!" "Yes, I know you all right, Lasar, and I'll make you smart for this." "The place is as much mine as it is yours," answered Lasar. "And I propose to take it!
