Colonel who were by this time reduced to to.erabe

Pacha, again seduced by the prospect OF success,
would join the enterprise and the fortune OF Colonel
O'Kellly and his followers would be made. VINO,

might not have led But affairs OF this nature hang
On thread, and Colonel o Rey's project came to
ignominlous shipwreck through the arrival OF q
pretty woman at Aleppo.
How was thisY Nothing could have occurred more
naturally. O'Relllys escort, whether or not they
were cognizant OF his ultimate aims were men OF
few scrupes, who needed only money to induce
them TO bindy obey any orders that might he given

the usages OF regular warfare and exacting various
conditions, which the Pacha, without the slightest in

to Reschd Pacha.
