II had been decided that at the outset
Namir's house should be carefully watch

! morning Point Pescade would 90 out with
Luigi TO pick 2, Information. During his
stay IN Malta, luigi had learnt httle

would be concealed in one Of the narrow

! The night. whose hours were so long
| for the doctor and Pierre, was thus pass
! ed in the fonda. If Point Pescade and
! Cape Malifou had any desire to lie on beds
! encrusted with crockery ware they were
satisfied.
In the morning Luigi and Point Pes

which there had already gathered a largo

noticed ia the streets Of Ragusa while she

| therefore recOgn re her, and as she did not

should not meet ner. And then he could
! follow her.
The principal bazar Of Tetuan is n col
! lection of sheds, pent-hOuses, and hoYels,
! low, narrow, and sordid, arranged in
! sutry lanes. A few cloths OF different
| colOrs are stretched on lines and protect
/ it from the heat Of the sun. Around are
! duil-iOoking shops with broidered silk,
| gorgeous trimmings, slippers, purses,
! cloaks, pottery. jewels, collars, bracelets,
| rings, and other common goods such as
! are found in the shops of the large towns

II was already crowded. The people
! were taking advantage OF the GOODNESS OF
| the morning. MoOrs yelled 10 the eyes

! kabyles. move to and fro in the DazaT,
| elDOwed by certain mum Der of strangers,
so that the presence Of Luigi FcrratO and
! Point Pescade did not attract special at
tenton.
For an hour they traversed the motley
crowd in search of Namir. In vain!
| The Moor did not appear, nor aid Sar-
| cany
Luigi then asked one of the halfnaked
! bOys-hybrid products Of all the African
races from the Riff to the Sahara-who
/ swarm in the DaZarg of Morocco.
The first he spoke to made no reply
! Al last one of them, a Kabyle, about
! twelve years old, said that he knew the
| house, and offered to take the Europeans
| therefor trife.
The offer was accepted, and the three
started through the tangled streets which
| radiatC towards the notifications. In ten
minutes they had reached a part that was
| almost deserted, in which the houses We're
! few and far between, and had no windows
on their outer sides.
/ During this time the doctor and Pierre
were waiting the return of Luigi and Pes
cade with feyersh Impotence. Twenty
| times were they tempted TO 90 out and
| look for themselves. But they were both
| known to Sarcany and the Moor. Itwould
| perhaps be risklng everything 20 meet
| them and give them an alarm which might
enable them to escape. So they remained
| a prey TO the keenest anxiety. 1t was o
! o'clock when Luigi and Point Pescade re-
! turded to the fonda,
Their lugubrious faces proclaimed
| that they were the bearers Of bad news.
In fact, Sarcany and Namir, accom-
! panied by a girl whom nobody knew
| had left Tetuan five weeks before, and
| the house was now in charge of an old
woman.
The doctor and Pierre had not expected
this; they We're in despair.
Their departure is easily accounted
| fOrl" said LHtge. "Sareany was evidently
! afraid that T0rOnthal, for revenge or some
| other motive, would reveal the place of
/ his retreat"
| While he was only in pursuit Of his be-
! trayers the doctor had never des paired of
! success. But he did not feel the same
confidence now it was his daughter that
| he sought to rescue from Sareany.
However. Pierre agreed with him that
they hal better 90 at once 10 Namir's
house. Perhaps they might End some
trace or remembrance of Sara. Perhaps
the old Jewess who had been left in charge
might give, or rather sell, some hint that
might prove useful
! Luigi led them there Immediately. The
doctor. who spoke Arabic as il he had
been born in the desert. introduced himself
as friend OF Sarcany's. He vas passing
| Tetuan, he said, and would have been glad
10 see NM
The old woman at first raised difficult
ties, but handful of sequins made her
much more Obliging; and she willingly
answered the questions the doctor asked
with the appearance OF the most lively in
terest in her mastes.
The young lady who had been taken
away by the Moor was sarcany's intend
ed wife. That had been arranged for some
time. and probably the marriage would
have taken place at Tetuan had 1t not
been for the hurried departure. The
| young lady since her arrival three months
before had not been outside the house.
They said she was an Arab, but the jew
ess thought she was a European. She
had seen her very little, and only during
the Moor's absence. and she could not find
out any more about her.
The old woman could not say where
Sarcany had taken them. All she knew
was that they went away about five
weeks before with a caravan TO the east
ward. and that since then the house had
been IN her care and was 10 continue so
until sarcany found some one 10 buy IL,
which showed that he did not intend re-
turning 20 Tetuan.
The doctor listened coldly to these re-
plies, and as they passed translated them
20 Pierre.
From them IL appeared that Sarcany had
not no ght IL desirable TO embark on one
