II was very dark in the closet and Mere

came a slight grating sound, drowned, ere
he had fairly caught it, by her voice:
''Hus-sh, Sahib All, didst thou hear any

confused.

a sudden futter of the girls drapery in the
darkness beyond him and then the stirring
of a draught of cool air.
What is it? WHAT He advanced
his hands gropingly and his fingers touch
ed the door as it closed in on him, while
the next instant the key grated in the lock
with a sharp snap.
He recognized that he was fairly trapped,
and swore softly under his breath, then
gave a little half-vexed laugh which the
girl on the other side of the door heard
and responded to.
"Sahib, forgive me- she whispered. u

"Thou dost talk like a fool. Sotoo," he

Allan Meredith halted at the stand of So
too on his way down into the baZaars. She
beckoned him excitedly, and when he
drew in behind the awning, whispered,
pushed him before her. He unlocked the
door of his closet and the two stepped into
the dark box. AS he was about to strike
light she stopped him with whisper
