Haleb Bey were drinking their coffee quite compla
Gently. Evidently Rhasneh would be as clay in the
potter's hands when brought under the right in
fiuenCes.
How old are you, Hanum Rhasneh?" asked
one Of the other wives of Osnan Pasha.
Rhasneh counted up on her slender fingers, pre-
tending becoming ignorance. Sixteen tunes the
trees have bloomed since | born and for
the sixteenth time they losing their leaves
All indeed!' the mother exclaimed, taken aback
at this advanced age 1T is high time for you, my
child to take loving husband to teach life to Stir
within YOU Oh, Mashallah Mashallah you are very
beautiful" she cried, and made believe to ward
off the evil eye.
Hanum Rhasneh laughed delightedly, and her
ioyous voice sounded well to the of the mother,
who wished cheerful spouse for her son.
Hanum Hafrasarah looked affectlonately at Rhas-
neh, and already in her mind began to form the SEN
fences in praise of her beauty with which she would
silence such of her friends might try to condoe
her sons wife. She took Rhasneh on her lap, and
kissed her twice the eyes. "Mashallah!' she ex-
claimed. THE SUN takes his bath in your eyes, my
child, and the flowers their perfume from your
breath"
AS a glow of pleasure rose in Rhasnehs cheeks
at these words Hanum Hafrasarah carried
away with the beauty of the girl, Turks are,
at physical perfection. She held her away from
her and turned to the other women. Is there
rose in this world to compare with this rose of
mine? Is there lily whose wilderness is like her
graceful as this Rhasneh, this beautiful Rhasneh?'
The two women, the old and the young, the one
intoxicated by her eloquence, the other by her
own beauty forgot their differences, and rocked
back and forth in each others arms, blndly happy
only Mussulrnan women can be.

Rhasneh went on bitterly Il to be married,
whether wish it or not to Haleb Bey, son of Osman
Pasha"
''Oh, are YOU to marry him." There was disrnay
in Chrysanthy's voice. She knew of Haeb Bey as
of the Europeanized Turks who had exchanged
the faith of their fathers for the vices of the Chris
tians and knew also that the society of Therapia,
though far from prudish did not admit him to its
circle in spite of his fathers high position with the
Sultan.
And 1 am determined not only to avoid this
marriage but to leave the haren,' Rhasneh went
on fercely.
.Chrysanthy's big gray eyes looked at her friend
going to do it," she asked. Il do not see way
All! you do not know what have to tell you, :"
Rhasneh cried eagerly There is way. way full
of danger yet beautiful way, if you will help me, !"
And will help you! Tell me everything
To one better than Chrysanthy could Rhasneh
have appealed. The Greek girl dreamer, a
views womens rights and equality, in land
where the subject belonged to the far off nerstear
spaces. And she had youths disbelief in what her
world had found wise and proper.
RhaSneh began soemnly, Il have had a
dream"
''Ohl" Chrysanthy exclaimed family. This was
fall from her expectations: she did not believe IN
dreams, advanced she
Yes | dreamed was falling over preclplce, y
Rhasneh continued, big eyed and unheeding. " Be-
meath was chaos, and | was going down-down-
at the remembrance. and in spite of her reason,
Chrysanthy trembed in sympathy.
AS the violet eyes told, and the gray eyes listened
to the marvels of RhasnehS tale, the world was
romance for those two.
And the precipice dreamed of the preci-
pice of my life" Rhasneh interpreted, exalted, and
you must help to find the tall, yellow haired
Englishman, who"
"Wait" Chrysanthy sprang to her feet, inspired
in her turn, and rushed from the room. She came
running back with photograph rs this not

reason scattered

CHAPTER ".
Plotting

T10HIS day had been full one for Rhasneh, yet
even now its activities not at end
AS soon as he visit of inspection from Haleb
Beys relatiN IS was over, Rhasneh began to plan
how she might get into communication with her
foreign lover.
The prelminaries to marriage form an important
part of social life in all countries; but in Turkey
courtshps personally conducted by the lovers
not the every day. placid aft airs they are in country
where such manner of wooing is approved. They
begin like this one, with glance O. the eye, pro-
coed tumultuously beneath latticed windows and
through postern gates and often end, for one
or for both, in the dark waters of the Bosporus
lover in Turkey either very ardent, he deSlStS
and permits his love affairs to be managed by his
elders, his elders tell him is the only respectable
way.
Yet when the miradins come into the harems and
tell their enhancing stories, it most often of clan
destine lovers they tell, scaling walls and defyng
the eunuchs swords for brief half hour with those
they love. Romance was invented by the Devil
and contains always a goodly proportion of the
should not, it is not welcome to the ears of the
listener
Rhasneh, intent devsing scheme for
seeing her Frank, thought over all the ways the
mirddjns had told of yet none of them was entirely
to her liking This love of hers, she felt was not
on level with those clandestne affairs with which
Turkish women relieve the monotony of their lives
while rsking them This was higher: she wished
to get out of the dark imprisonment which she felt
weighing her down, and enter upon life where
all men noble and all women pure and adj
vanced, and she did not wish to do anything which
would imperl either his respect for her, her
But there must be way. Her Frank must be
known to of her European friends. and she
began reviewing them mentally. In an instant she
struck the two fingers of her right hand in the palm
of her left and gave little eluck with her lips
Il have i'll" she exclaimed. 'Chrysanthy
Mavrocorthato must know hirn!'
Rhasneh did not believe in the nights bringing
counsel She sat down Immediately to write to her
Greek friend to ask when she could receive her,
There is much formalty observed in Turkey even
among those quite intimate, and the answer from
Chrysanthy said that she would be at home on the
following morning to receive Rhasneh. This
quite the Turkish girl had expected and
the next morning, accompanied by several of her
slaves, she went to the Mavrocorthato villa and
was tremendously ushered into Chrysanthy's studio
the lawn.
Welcome, Hanum Rhasneh!" Chrysanthy said.
1T is some weeks since have seen you though
have often thought of you. Have you come to
nounce your betrotha1 to me-" The Greek girl
knew that Rhasneh at her age could not long remain
unmarried.
"No, Chrysanthy, 1 have to ask you to
help me-"
TO help. you? In what way" Chrysanthy
asked, surprised
1t is true 1 have my betrothal to announce"

from her friends hand. And do you know him so
wel?" she asked.
Mama does. He is the of lady she used to
know"
He is English" breathlessly.
Eyes; that is to say, he is American, the First
Secretary at the Embassy His is Stephen Weir.
Of course, he nearly jumped from his carriage to help
you-al Americans are chivalrous. 1t is said they
will help anyone in distress, especially woman"
Rhasneh's face clouded at this praise of Ameri-
cans. Perhaps he seemed eager to help me only
because l was woman, and he an American.

love- For the first time in her life she dstrust-
full of her charms
Not with you," Chrysanthy exclaimed sincerely.
But you said Americans would help any woman
in Distress
Yes Chrysanthy assented weakly
ooh, am unhappy" Rhasneh walled. Per
haps he does not love me at all
Let us find out. He will be here at garden
party tomorrow night, and"
"Here-to-morrow! Then"
And the two young consprators put their heads
together and planned out a course of action that
sent Rhasneh home radiant the kissed
waters of the Bosporus outside her window.
