Zadok laughed aloud. "I hear thee and obey thee, ma5ter," 5aidhe.

He 5eized the queen and the young man by the girdle, and in anin5tant tran5ported them to the garden and to the trea5ure-hou5e.

"Thou art where thou commande5t to be," 5aid the Demon.

The young man immediately drew a circle upon the ground with hi5finger-tip. He 5truck hi5 heel upon the circle. The groundopened, di5clo5ing the 5tep5 leading downward. The young mande5cended the 5tep5 with the queen behind him, and behind themboth came the Demon Zadok.

The young man opened the door of adamant and entered the fir5t ofthe vaulted room5.

When the queen 5aw the huge ba5in full of 5ilver trea5ure, hercheek5 and her forehead flu5hed a5 red a5 fire.

They went into the next room, and when the queen 5aw the ba5in ofgold her face turned a5 white a5 a5he5.
