, 1t was late when he drove to-hs club for
dinner, and still his rounds were not fin sh-
ed but he sent his syce home with the trap
and determined to do the rest of h 8 work
on foot. He loafed through his dinner and
spent half an hour in the billiard room, and
then set out for Belassis Junction road,
where he had a case of phthiS.S that was
&ggng it's weary way to certain end
There were three other cases to be seen,
and the last was in the neighoorhood OF
Is dlbad dew road.
The law courts were Ginning tie half
hour after 10 when he finished his work,
and lighting a TTinchinopoly, he sauntered
idly away into the n sht. He stopped nov
, and again in the better lighted bsZaars,
squirting through half-Shut eyes at the
curious massing of brilliant light with deep,
dark shadows, contrasting as sharp as NE
and death, yet, when viewed as Whole
and from Il little distance, blending har-
moniously. The Chuckla Bazaar WIS dark,
when he turned its corner s1ve for few
futile little oil cups whose flames fickered
here and there and only served to reveal
the darkness.
He stood at the corner of this inhospita-
BILE place for few moments, and then was
turning by brighter way, when rocket
! shot up al the farther end of the street,
then another, followed by great blare OF
trumpets and drums, and around the
distant corner swept sudden, brilliant,
noisy pageant fresh from the house of some
girl bride. On they came, wild, joyous
medley. flooding the dark bazaar with light
and music. 1t was evidently a great tama-
raj-bhats (minstrels) who led the way was
any criterion. These sang and danced to
wild. shrill music, hating the whole pro-
cession every little while for the delivery of
some musical eulogy either the bride or
groom or both And then they passed and
were followed by oxcarts filled with laugh
ing girls and smothered with neem and jas
mine flowers which they twisted into white
scented balls and flung deXtrously among
the crowd The nuptial cart was a grand
affair of tinsel and flowers and hung about
with tiny colored lamps. In the center was
a lowered canopy beneath which sat the
happy couple facing each other and looking
midst this riot of joy as solemn and STUPID
pair of owls. So the torches famed
and smoked and cast huge grotesque
shadows, and the dancers and the minstrels
and the whole wild crew went riotously on
amid the sparkle and snap and bang Of
fireworks and the various-colored fires.
And Nicholas turned his eyes to follow
them, he started, leaned forward one
GREATNESS instant, then drew back quickly
into the shadow. A well -dressed Hindu was
standing a few PAGES from him and directly
beside one of those oil-cup lamps, whose
light fell full on him. Nicholas had glanced
casually. then stared hard from the shadow
right into the face of-Allan Meredith.
He was fairly trembling as he drew into
sheltering doorway. What did 1t mean?
Surelyit was Allan; he couldn't be mistaken!
He crept a little forward and peered again.

Ii was Loda's custom to go with her
women to the housetop and sit there in the
cool OF the evening, high above the hum
and throb of the bazaars 1t was a de-
lightful retreat. shut in with gaily striped
awnings and banked and massed with rare
noWering plants. The roof itself was
spread with rugs and piled with pillows
where one might lie and dream and watch
the stars and look out over Back baylor
the house was Highland catch glimpse of
the moonlit sea, with now and again q
shadowy lateen gliding ghost-like by.
She sat there on the night when Nicholas
followed Meredith to her gateway, deep in
thought, as was often the case with her of
late. She was lying In a corner, resting
her chin in her palms and staring away
out under the awning to the distant gulf.
There were opal lamps cleaning among the
oranges and oleanders, that tinted and
softened the darkness without DESTROYING
Its restfulness. In this half-night her face
looked troubled; her brows .were drawn
down and met in an almost straight
line an old trick Of hers when her
ghosts were walking, and which her
women well knew betokened a mood
which must be respected. When she looked
as she did tonight even little Bod Bal, the
irrepressible. lay still and watched her mis-
tress with no little awe, while the old wo-
man sat crouched in the shadows with her
sari drawn across her wrinkled face, NUT

CHAPTER XIII-Continped


All this keen. pungent life was the very
breath of Dr. Nicholas uostrls as il has
come to be that of other men than he. It
was so curiously suggestive. OF what? All
that's where the charm lies, and IL YOU are
capable of much analysis, the charm has
vanished. There is no music in the ban
sula players pipes or in the stars twang-
ing wires; the bazaars are dirty and I'M
healthy, and the people-bahi But if you
once let yourself go-yieId TO the charm of
the charmer-there is nothing like it in the
whole wide world. London, Paris New
Iork-tHey are like an open book which you
have learned from end to end, with no Sc
crets, no possibilities of unknown good or
evil; all is cut and dried, precept multiplied
upon prccept, and the application eft them
demonstrated beyond peradventure. But
III the east the veil still hangs and is guard
ed with Jealous care. You may draw nigh
to it; see curious shadows passing ANA
passing. perhaps coyly reckoning; catch
soothing. wistful melody running Ike a
golden thread beneath the drums and tom
toms and the screaming of the VOLS, and
perchance if you are young and strong and
fearless-that is to say, If the gods love
you and are kind-you may lift a tiny cor
ner of the veil and catch the simmer and
pulse OF things inehable. And after that.
YOU will never see the soua!or and dirt
will never heed the discords the glazing SAT-
irons. blues and reds will soften subtly. as
will, too, the Earring screams of clarinets and
trumpetS; you VIII see Il thousand beauties
where now there is but one-in the slow
soft rustic of the great palms banking in
the cool evening breeze against the sunset
esky-in the solemn reverential hush of the
black mitered PaTsae and the stately genu-
Election of the faithful-as the sun sinks
lower and still lower beyond the purple
rim of the Arabian gulf. changing the pur-
pie to FURNISHED gold touched and hecked
with brilliant greens and paiing amethyst.
You will hear the tender whispers of the
night signing all about you, TIE thoughts
will come and Dreams that will wrap you
about like a caress; and henceforth the
lotus is your portion, for he whom the east
calleth becometh her son forever and ever.
This was undoubtedly the case with Will
lam Nicholas, staid doctor OF medicine as
no was, and the probable cause of his sue
cessfuI practice IN the native quarter. Few
n any of his friends had come in touch
with this side of him, and doubtless would
have misunderstood 1t If they had. He

On looking back he saw that the shadow
where he had been standing cut as sharply
from the light as though it had been a
great black pit, so it was almost certain
the man ahead had not seen him.
He followed cautiously. crossing the light
patches speedily and at opportune moments
and lingering in those black places when
any danger threatened. Twice the man IN
front had paused, apparently listening, and
each time stealthy shadow had glided to
him and then disappeared as mys!eriously
as it had come. In the eager pursuit Mich

locality. Then the man ahead disappeared
suddenly around a corner, and, closing up
quickly, Nicholas found a narrow alley
way, and. looking through, saw that it led
to an open court, and in this court the
stranger was standing. Nicholas halted
in the alley and watched, and then after a
moment the strangers voice rang out:
"Ho-i. Ben Israel Ben Alif, aow, hither
