To her regret the DeMille dinner in
terfered with the opening of the per-

the promise that the opera and its
democratic audience should follow.
During the day Mrs. Dan had been
deep in preparations for her banquet,
but her plans were deliberately conceal
ed They eliminated at 3 o'clock in the
Cova. not far from the Scala. and the
dinner was eaten in the garden to the
sound of music. Yet it was an effect of
simplicity with which Mrs. Dan sur
prised her guests. They were prepared
for anything but that, and when they
were served with consomme. spaghetti

and peas, followed by n salad and cof-
fee. the gratitude of the crowd was
quite beyond expression. In burst of
enthusiasm Subway Smith suggested

Monty complained bitterly that he
himself had never received n ghost of
a testimonial. He protested that it was
not deserved.
"Why should you expect it?" exclaim.
ed Pettingill. "When have you risen
from terrapin and artichokes to chops
and chicory? When have you given us
nectar and ambrosia like this?"
Monty was defeated by a unanimous
vote. and Mrs. Dams testimonial was
assured. This matter settled, Peggy
and Mrs. Valentine with Brewster and
Pettingill, walked over to the Scala
and heard again the last two acts of
"Aida." But the audience was differ.

The next day at noon the chauffeurs
from Paris reported for duty, and five
cleaning French devil wagons steamed
off through the crowd in the direction
of Venice. Through Brescia and Verona

"Oh, Joy OF the sun supreme, jewel
of the only eye, hearken to the en-
treaty of Mohammed." 1t was more
as IL he were commanding his troops in
battle than pleading for the tender
compassion Of ladylove. 81 am come
for you, queen of the sea and earth and
sky. My boats are here, my camels
there and Mohammed promises you q

let him bask forever in the glory Of
your smile"
All this was uttered in n mixture Of
tongues so atrocious that Subway
Smith afterward described it as a sal
ad. The retinue bowed impressively,
and two or three graceless Americans
3pplauded as vigorously as If they were
approving the actions of a we'll drilled
comic opera chorus. Sailors were hang
ing in the rigging, on the davits and
over the deck house roof.
"Smile for the gentleman, Peggy"
commanded Brewster delightedly. HE
wants to take a short bask."
"You are very rude, Mr.. Brewster"
said Peggy, turning upon him coldly.
Then to the waiting. expectant sheik,
"What is the meaning of this elo-
quence?"
Mohammed looked bewlldered for a
moment and then turned to the inter-

surrounding her English. For the next
three or four minutes the air was filed

"pearl of the desert" and other things
In bad English, worse French and per-
feet Arabic. He was making promises
that could not be redeemed if he lived
a thousand years. In conclusion the
gallant sheik drew a long breath

and played his trump card in unmis
taxable English. 1t sounded pathetical.

An indecorOus roar went up from the
white spectators. and jacky in the rig

up with bar or two from The Star
Spangled Banner"
Having accomplished what he consid
cred to be his part of the ceremony, the
sheik arose and started toward his
launch, coolly motioning for her to fol
low. So far as he was concerned the
matter was closed. But Peggy, her
heart humping like a trip hammer, hel
eyes full of excitement, implored hin
to stop for moment.
II appreciate this great honor, but

in some irritation.

CHAPTER XXIII.

"HE summer is scarcely good
time to visit Egypt, but Monty
and his guests had u desire to
i see even little of the northern
coast of Africa. 1t was decided, there
fore, that after Athens the Filter
should go south. The yacht had met
them at Naples after the automobile
procession-a kind of triumphal prog
ress-was disbanded in Florence, and
they had taken hurried survey Of
Rome. BY the middle of July the
party was leaving the heat of Egypt
and finding it not half bad. New
York was not more than a month
away as Brewster reckOned time and
distance, and there was still too much
money in the treasury. AS September
drew nearer he got into the habit
of frequently forgetting Swearengen
Jones until it was too late to retrace
his steps He was coming to the
death struggle" as he termed it, and
there was something rather terroriz
ing in the fear that the million might
die hard" And so these last days and
nights were glorious ones, If one could
have looked at them with unbiased,
untroubed eyes. But every member
Of his party was praying for the day
when the Filter would be well into
the broad Atlantic and the worst over.
| At Alexandria Brewster had letters to
some Englshmen and in the few en-
tertainments that he gave succeeded
once again in fairly outdoing Aladdin.
A sheik from the interior was a
guest at one of Montys entertain
ments. He was a burly, hot blooded
| fellow, with a densely populated
harem, and he had been invited more
as a curiosity than as one to be hon
ored. AS he came aboard the Filter
Monty believed the invitation was
more than justified. Mohammed was
superb, and the women of the party
made so much of him that it was small
wonder that his head was turned. lie
fell desperately in love with Peggy
Gray on sight. and with all the com
posture of pOtentate who has never
been crossed he sent for Brewster the
next day and told him to send heI
around" and he would marry her.
Monty's blood boiled furiously for a
minute or two, but he was quick to see
the wisdom OF treating the proposition
automatically. He tried to make il
plain to the sheik that Miss Gray
could not accept the honor he wished
to confer upon her, but it was not Mo
hammed's custom to be denied any
thing he asked for especially anything
feminine. He complacently announced
that he would come aboard that after
noon and talk it over with Peggy.
Brewster looked the swarthy gentle
man over with unconcealed disgust il
his eyes. The mere thought of thi
ugly brute so much as touching tn,
hand of little Peggy Gray filled hin
with horror, and yet there was some
, thing laughable in the situation. HI
a could not hide the smile that came wit
the mind picture of Peggy listening t
the avowal of the shelk. The Ara
misinterpreted this exhibition of mirth

approvingly.

flashing eyes.

Brewster's face was study. He
could not believe that she was in ear
nest, but there was a CHASTITY feeling
that the joke was being turned on him.
The. rest of the company stared hard
at The flushed Peggy and breathlessly
awaited developments.
1T won't do to trifie with this chap.
Peggy" said Monty, coming quite close
to her. Don't lead him on. He might
get nasty if he thinks you're making
sport Of him
You are quite absurd, Monty" she
cried petulantly. Il am not making
sport of him"
well, then, why don't you tell him
to go about his business?"
Il don't see any beads lying around
loose said Rip tormentingly. The
sheik impatiently said something to the
interpreter, and that worthy repeated
it for Peggy's benefit.

you be as quick as possible, queen OF
the world. He tires of waiting and
commands you to come with him al
once

brief look of scorn at the scowline
sheik. In an instant, however. she was
smiling agreeably and was turning to
ward the steps.
Holy mackerel, Where are you go
ing, Peggy" cried Lotless, the first tC
turn fearful.
ITO throw some things into my
trunk" she responded airily. "Wil
you come with me, Mary?"
Peggy" cried Brewster angrily
This has gone far enough"
"You should have spoken sooner
Monty" she said quietly
What are you going to do, Marga
ret?" cried Mrs. Dan, her eyes wide
with amazement.
Il am going to marry the son of tn,

every one gasped A moment later sh,
was surrounded by group Of excited
women, and Captain Perry was call
ing the jackies forward in a voice o
thunder.
Brewster pushed his way to her side
