CHAPTER V.

Goodwin laid down the letter. and al;
four of them stared at one another in
amaZement.
Surely" said Wulf. this is some
fools trick played off upon our uncle
as an evil jest"
BY way of answer Sir Andrew bade
him 1;ft the silk that hid the contents
of the Golfer and see what lay there.
He did so. and next moment threw
back his head like a man whom some
sudden light had blinded. as we'll he
might, for from it came such a flare
of gems as Essex had rarely seen be-
fore. Red, green, and blue they spark
led; and among them We're the dull
glow of gold and the white sheen of
pearls.

Then he signed, and Rosamund
signed after him, and the writing was

Now" said Sir Andrew, hide away

every thief in England would be our
visitor some of them bearing high
names, / think"
So they laid the gold-embroidered
robes and the priceless sets of gems
back in their Golfer, and having locked
it, hid it away in the great iron-b bound
chest that stood in Sir Andrews Sleep
ing chamber.
When everything was finished, Sir
Andrew said:
Listen now, Rosamund, and you
also my nephews, for / have never told
you the true tale of how the sister
OF Saladin, who was known as Zobeide,
the daughter of Ayoub. and after
ward christened into cur faith by the
name Of Mary. came to be nv wife,
and it is well that you should learn it,
if only to show how evil returns upon
a man. After the great Nur-ed-din
took Damascus, Ayoub was Vade its
governor; then some three -and-twenty
years ago came the capture of Harenc.
in which nv brother fell, and / was
wounded and taken prisoner. They bore
me to Damascus. where I was lodged
in the palace of Ayoub and kindly
treated. Here it was. while lay sick,
that / made friends with the young
Saladin, and became acquainted with
his sister Zobeide, whom / met secret
ly in the gardens of the palace, and
although she numbered but half my
years, learned to love. The rest may
be guessed. for she loved me as 1
loved her, and for my sake offered to
change her faith and fly with me to
England il opportunity gould be
found, which was hard.
Now, as it CHANGED. l had a friend,
a dark and secretive man named Jebal,
the young sheik of strange and ter
rible people, whose cruel rites no
Christian understands. but who are the
subjects Of one Mahomet. in Persia,
and who live in castles at Masyaf, on
LebaHon. This man had been in al
lance with the Franks. and once in,
a battle saved his life from the Sara
Gems at the risk of nv own. whereon,
being stirred to the heart, he swore
that did l summon him from the ends
of the earth he would come to me If
1 .,eeded help. Yes. and he gave me
his signet ring in token. and. by vir-
tue of it, so he said, power in his
dominions equal to his own, though
these I never visited. See, here 1t is,

afterward.'
And now you are safe in England.
do you propose to return to Damascus
with the answer. and, If so, why?'
For two reasons, Sir Andrew. First.
because / have sworn so to do, and I
do not break my word any more than
does Saladin. Secondly, because l
continue to wish to live, and the Sui
tan promised me that If / failed in my
mission, he would bring about my
death wherever / might be, which /
am sure he has the power to do by
magic or otherwise. Well, the rest OF
the tale is short. The chest was hand
ed over to me as you see it, and with
1t money sufficient for my faring to
and fro and something to spare. Then
/ was escorted to Joppa, where l took
passage on a ship bound to Italy,
where / found another ship named The
Holy Mary sailing for Calais, which
We reached after being nearly cast
away Thence ] came to Dover in a
fishing boat, landing there eight days
ago. and having bought a mule. joined
some travellers to London, and so on
here
And how will you return?"
The palmer shrugged his shoulders.
'.As best 1 may, and as quickly. Is
your answer ready, Sir Andrew? ?"
Yes; it, is here" and he handed him
the roll which Nicholas hid away in the
fcT1s of his great cloak. Then Sir An
drew added, You say you know moth
ing of all the business in which you
play this Dart?"
Nothing; or, rather, only this-the
officer who escorted me to Jaffa told,
me that there was much stir among
the learned doctors and diviners at the
court because of a certain dream which
the Sultan had dreamed three times,
which had to- do with lady who was
half of the blood of Ayoub and half
English, and that my mission was
mixed up with this matter. Now | see
that the noble lady before me has eyes
strangely like those of the Sultan Sa-
ladin." And he spread out his hands
ard ceased.
"You seem to see good deal, friend
Nicholas
..Sir Andrew, a poor palmer who
wishes to preserve his throat unslit
mist keep his eyes open. Now have
eaten well, and / am weary. Is there
any place where / may sleep. since /
would be gone at dayoreak, for those
who do Saladin's business dare not
tarry, and have your letter.
With one more searching glance the
palmer bowed and went When the
door closed behind him Sir Andrew
beckcned Goodwin to him and whis-
rered
Tomorrow. Goodwin, you must take
scme men and follow this Nicholas to
see where he goes and What he does,

upon my hand" and he showed them
heavy gold ring, in which was set
a black stone. with red veins running
across the stone in the exact shape of
a dagger, and beneath the dagger
words cut in strange characters that
none could read.
ITO be brief, in my plight, I be-
thought me of Jebal, and found means
to send him a sealed letter with his
ring. Nor did he forget his promise,
for within twelve days the lady Zobeide
and / were gallopmg for Beyrout on
two horses so swift that all the cavalry
of Ayoub could not overtake them. We
gained the city and there were we'd
ded, Rosamund, after your mother had
been baptized Christian. Thence, too,
since it was not safe for us to dwell
in the East, we took ship and came
safe home. bearing this ring of Jebal
with us. for / would not give it up,
as his servants demanded that should
do, save to him alone. But before the
vessel sailed, man disguised as a
fisherman brought me message from
Ayoub and his son Saladin, swearing
that they would yet recapture Zobeide,
the daughter of one of them and sister
of the other.
That is the story, and you see that
their oath has not beer forgotten,
though when in after years they
learned of my wife,s death, they
let the matter lie. But since
then Saladin, who in those days
was but a noble youth, has become the
greatest Sultan-that the East has ever
known, and having been told of you,
Rosamund, by that traitor Lozelle, he
seeks to take you in your mothers
place, and, girl, tell you that / fear
him."
.sAt least, we have a year in which
to prepare ourselves, or to hide" said
Rosamund: 'or perhaps much longer.
seeing that this palmer must travel
back to the East before my uncle Sala-
din can have our answer
AYE" said Sir Andrew; perhaps we
have a year."
What of the attack on the quay?'
asked Goodwin, who had been thinking
"1he knight Lozelle was named there
yet II Saladip had to do with it, it
seems strange that the blow should
have come before the word

said:

So the man Nicholas, who was
found still eating as though his hum
ger would never be satisfied, was
brought in by Wulf He bowed low
before the old knight and Rosamund,
eyes, and the roof and the floor, and
every other detail of the chamber
for those eyes of his seemed to miss
nothing.

Il have brought you chest from
