CHAPTER Xxx.
The Jewel Box

THIS excursion to Prnkipo had been taken from
Constantinople not from Therapia The
marked the ending of the there. Soon after
ward the Greeks had moved back to town, and when
they went away near the last of the foreigners had
already fitted from the shores of the Bosporus.
The hotel Petala was closed, and for Weir to have
fingered would have certainly made him an object
of suspicion.
Two incidents of the last few DAYS of his STAY in
Therapia had made him wonder if he was not already
obnoxious to Turk. On returning one night
from call on Mrs Blake in his kalek another boat
had shot suddenly out of the darkness and struck
his own amldshlps, with no apparent attempt to
slacken speed. 1t had backed off without excuse
explanation Fortunately his boat was
stoutly built and had not been badly injured al
though the temper of his boatman was entirely
demolished.
Two nights later similar mishap had occurred.
The night had not been quite so dark on this oc-
casion and the intention had been more evident
Two men were in the attacking boat. Weirs
leveled revolver was hesitatng only instant be-
fore speaking when it comes to the point a man
with the ordinary feelings of humanity has strong
feelings of repugnance at shooting another even if
considerably Provoked), when the man nearest him,
swiiftness and struck Weir on the arm M The
revolver was not quite knocked from his grasp but
his arm was SO parayzed that he could not pull the
trigger. He shifted it to his left hand and fired
twice; but, Indifferent shot at BEST it was not
strange that he hit one.
For all these reasons the American had thought it
best to return Constantinope with the rest of the
summer visitors, much he dsliked the thought of
being far away from the neighborhood where
Rhasneh lived.
Immediately after the closing of the summer sea-
son at Therapia, that happened which Rhasneh had
dreaded: Her father came to her and told her that
her marriage definitely set for two weeks from
that time Takshan Pasha was nearly as unhappy
to have to tell this unwecome to his daughter

badly with him-or rather too we'll Too many
marks of favor were being showered on him by the
Sultan, and he yearned to have Rhasneh safely mar
red before he should be ordered to give her to the
Sultan. Her betrothal to Haleb Bey, of which news
could not but have reached the ears of the Sultan
quite ignored by him; and when the Sultan
chose to ignore state of affairs, it not well for
of his subjects to call attention to it.
1t would have been better for both Takshan Pasha
and his daughter if they could have talked the
situation together, young she was; but the i'm
