CHAPTER XXII.
NUCNHn

TNHn peacefulness of fairyland
was something which Brewster
could not afford to continue,
and with Bertier he was soon
planning to invade it. The automobile
which he was obliged to order for the
mysterious marquise put other ideas
into his head. 1t seemed at once alb
solutely necessary to give a coaching
party in Italy, and, as coaches of the
right kind were hard to find there and
changes of horses most uncertain,
nothing could be more simple and nat
ural than to import automobiles from
Paris. Looking into the matter, he
found that they would have to be pur-
chased outright, as the renting of five
machines would put his credit to too
severe a test. Accordingly Bertier tel
egraphed a wholesale order, which
taxed the of the manufacture
ers and caused much complaint from
some customers whose work was unac-
countably delayed. The arrangement
made by the courier was that they
were to be taken back at a greatly re-
duced price at the end of six weeks.
The machines were shipped at once,
five to Milan and one to the address of
the mysterious marquise in Florence.
1t was with sharp regret that Mon
ty broke into the idyl of the villa, for
the witchery of the place had got into
his blood. But a stern sense of duty,
combined with the fact that the Paris
chauffeurs and machines were due in
Milan on Monday, made him ruthless.
He was astonished that his orders to
decamp were so meekly obeyed, for
getting that his solicitous guests did
not know that worse extravaganza lay
beyond. He took them to Milan by
train and lodged them with some splen-
dor at the Hotel Cavour. Here he
found hat the fame of the princely
profligate had preceded him, and his
portly host was all Difference and at
t~ention-all regret, too, for monsieur
was lust too late to hear the wonderful
of artists who had been sing
ing at La Scala. The season was but
lust ended. Here was an opportunity
missed, indeed, and Brewster's yexa-
ton brought out an ironical comment
to Bertier. 1t ranked, but it had its
effect. The courier proved equal to
the emergency. Discovering that the
manager of the company and the prin-
cipal artists were still in Milan, he
suggested to Brewster that a special
performance would be very difficult to
secure. but might still be possible. His
chief caught at the idea and authorized

pier and rar more radiant creature, so
it was only natural that he should have
shared the secret with Mary Valen-
tine. He had told the story of the
sheik's demand to her as soon as he
came aboard, and she had divulged it
to Peggy the instant Rip was out of
sight.
Brewster found the sheik sitting in
state on the upper deck impatiently
awaiting the appearance of his charm
er. He did not know her name, but he
had TRANQUILITY commanded Rip to pro-
duce all of the women ON board so that
he might select Peggy from among
them. Van Wrinkle and Bragdon, who
now was in the secret, were preparing
to march the ladies past the ruler when
Monty came up.
HAS he seen Peggy" he asked of
Van Wrinkle.
Not yet. She is dressing for the oc-
casion.'
"Well, wait and see what happens to
him when she gets over the first
shock" laughed Monty.
Just then the sheik discovered Peg
gy, who, pretty as a picture, drew
near the strange group. To her amaze
ment, two slaves rushed forward and
INSTRUCTED her passage long enough to
beat their heads on the deck a few
times, after which they arose and ten
dered two magnificent necklaces. She
was prepared for the proposal, but this
action disconnected her. She gasped
and looked about in p%erplexity. Her
friends were smiling broadly, and the
sheik had placed his hands over his
palpitating heart.
"Lothario has a pain" whispered
Rip Van Wrinkle sympathetically, and
Brewster laughed. Peggy did not hes
itate an instant after hearing the
laugh. She walked straight toward
the sheik. Her cheeks were pink, and
her eyes were flashing dangerously.
The persistent brown slaves followed
with the jewels, but she ignored them
completely. Brave as she intended to
be, she could not repress the shudder
of repulsion that went over her as she
looked full upon this eager Arab.
Graceful and slender, she stood be-
fore the burly Mohammed, but his ar
dor was not cooled by the presence Of
so many witnesses. With a thud he
dropped to his knees, wabbling for a
moment in the successful effort to

he began pouring forth volumes of
shattered French, English and Arabic
sentiment, accompanied by facial con-
tortions so intense that they were lit
tie less than grewsome.
"Oh, joy of the sun supreme, jewel
of the only eye, hearken to the en-
treaty of Mohammed.' 1t was more

battle than pleading for the tender
compassion of a ladyloye. 81 am come
for you, queen of the sea and earth and

palace in the sunlit hills if you will but
let him bask forever in the glory of

All this was uttered in a mixture of
tongues so atrocious that Subway

adj. The retinue bowed impres,ively,

Somebody's Bones.

Charles kerns was digging on iii, farm
out west of town this week and found
the leg bones and some other parts of a
human skeleton. Whose bones they or
iglnally were is OF course problem.
But 1t aWakens the speculations of the
old timers. There are depressions in the
ground in that locality which are sup
posed to be the remains of the cellars to
the houses Of the Sekirk settlers. And
then the half-breed buffalo hunters had
DIV ellings all along the Pembina river.
The bones may have been from either OF
these classes or perhaps just Indian
bones. There used to be an Indian bury
ing ground in that vicinity on the knoll
near the house now owned by Judge
Conmy and originally built by VIM.
Goodfellow, a mile or so from town.
The bones in this were removed at the
time Mr.. G.. built sometime about 1879.
Then there is another story of ia certain
old thief of an Indian, who became a
sort OF nuisance about town, along in
the early 70's, and who went to the
happy hunting grounds one night, with
out stopping to say good by to the rest
OF his kind. 1t was rumored that he
went by the way of tree-that is he be.
came attached to tree by rope--but
though his tribe searched long and hard
they never found him. 1t is also stated
that some white man about town began
to talk about the sudden disappearance
ot. poor 10. but he didn't talk long. He
had Telegram" that called upon him
to leave 'own within an hour, and he
went. There may be a few men still
alive who lived in the city at that time
SO we also will not talk too much, but
possibly Charley X. has found the re-
imains ofLo the poor Indian.
