The first step was to procure an introduction to the Turkish Government, which had in one sense refused to see me. Accompanied by the American Minister, Hon. A. W. Terrell, and his premier interpreter, Gargiulo, one of the most experienced diplomatic officers in Constantinople, I called by appointment upon Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs, or Minister of State.
The fixture, always a favourite one, and the Rajah's hospitality which was noble, like everything about him had brought out a large and brightly-dressed field; and among them, in his black coat, moved Terrell on a horse twice as good as it looked.
I direct you to keep straight to your present course. We will come up alongside.” “What if we don’t do it?” demanded Curtis, with sudden bluster. “Then your danger will be divided between being shot where you stand and having your craft cut in two by the bow of our craft,” retorted Mr. Terrell. “You will realize, I think, that there can be no parleying with our orders.”
Terrell, his three marines and two seamen leaped to the standing room of the yacht. Eph, all aquiver, let the nose of the "Farnum" fall back slightly. Then he trailed along, under bare headway. Then a shout came from the sloop, as the two seamen reappeared, bearing the forms of Jack and Hal. "We've found them aboard, Mr. Somers," shouted Terrell. "Drugged, I think, sir.
Harry Terrell a great sportsman in his day had been loth enough to part with it, and when the bargain was first proposed, had named at random a price which was about double what he had given for the place. The Rajah closed with the sum at once, asked him to make a list of everything in the house, and put a price on whatever he cared to sell.

There had been no command against taunts and jeers, and they gathered in groups under the walls to indulge themselves, and even tried to bribe me as I sat braced against a house with my drum between my knees and the sticks clutched tightly in my hands. "Here's a Spanish dollar for a couple o' taps, Davy," shouted Jack Terrell. "Come on, ye pack of Rebel cutthroats!" yelled a man on the wall.
If, in looking back, we feel that we sometimes erred through impatient zeal in our contest with a great wrong, we have the satisfaction of knowing that we were influenced by no merely selfish considerations. The low light of our setting sun shines over a free, united people, and our last prayer shall be for their peace, prosperity, and happiness. To R. H. TERRELL AND GEORGE W. WILLIAMS, ESQUIRES.

Men stopped in their tracks, staring fixedly at three forms which had come out of the woods into the clearing. "Redskins, or there's no devil!" said Terrell. Redskins they were, but not the blanketed kind that drifted every day through the station. Their war-paint gleamed in the light, and the white edges of the feathered head-dresses caught the sun.
