Forty Thieves; George was transport
ed mentally to that magic city, stand
ing between the Tigris and the Eu-
pirates, in all it's white glory OF q
thousand years gone. Ryanne, the
room and its furnishings, all had van
ished, all save the exquisite fabric pnt-
termed out of wool and cotton and
knotted with that mingling love and
skill and patience the world knows no
more. He let his hand stray over it.
How many knees had pressed it's thick
yet plant substance? How many
strange scenes had it mutely wit
messed, scenes of beauty, of terror? It
shone under the light like the hide Of
healthy hound.
The nerves of a smoker are general
ly made apparent by the rapidity Of
his exhalations. These two, in the
several minutes, had fl1sd the room
with thick, blue haze; and through
this the elder man eyed the younger.
The sign of the wolf cleared in his
eyes, but without animoeity, modified
as it was by the half-friendly, half
cynical smile.
.I'll risk it, said George finally,
having stepped off the magical carpet,
as it were. II can't give you thou
sand pounds tonight ] can give you
three hundred, and the balance tomor-
roWy between ten and eleven, at
Cooks
That will be agreeable to me.
George passed over all the available
cash he had, rolled UP the treasure and
tucked it under his arm That some
where in the world was a true be-
lever, wailing and beating his breast
and calling down from Allah curses
upon the giaour, the dog Of an infdel,
who had done this thing, disturbed
George not in the least.
4 say as he opened the door, you
must tell me all about the adventure
1t must have been thriller
1T was" replied Ryanne. .The

hear it.

US. dispersion, perhaps, but morS
pertinently an application
Temptation then no longer at his
shoulder, George began to have
qualms, little chaps, who started buzz
zing into his moral ears with all that
maddening, interminable drone which
makes one marvel however do school,
teachers survive their first terms,
Among these qualms there was none
that pleaded for the desolate Turk or
his minions whose carelessness had
made the theft possible. For>all George
cared, the Moslem might grind his
forehead in the soulless sand and
make the air palpitate with his plants
to Allah. No. The disturbance was
due to the fact that never before had
he been Willingly the purchaser Of
stolen goods. He never tried to gloze
over the subtle distinction between
knowing and suspecting; and If be had
been variously suspicious in regard to
certain past bargains, conscience had
found no sizeable wedge for her de-
murrers. The Yhiordes was confessed
ly stolen.
He paused, with his hand upon the
door-knob of his room. II he didn't
keep the rug, it would fall into the
hands of a collector less scrupulous.
To return 1t to the Pasha at Bagdad
would be pure folly, and thankless. It
was one of the most beautiful Weay-
ings in existence. II was as priceless
in it's way as any Raphael in the Watt
can. And he desired it's possession in
tensely. Why not? Insidious phrasel
Was it not better that the world
should see and learn what a wonderful
craft the making Of a rare rug had
been, than to allow it to return to the
sordid chamber of harem, TO newt
able ruin? AS Ryanne said, what the
deuce was a fanatical Turk or Arab
to him?
Against these speeious arguments In
favor of becoming the sadventurer's
abettor and accomplfce, there was
first the possible stain Of blood. The
man agreed that he had come away
from Bagdad in doubt George did
not like the thought Of blood. Still,
he had collected hundred emeralds,
not one Of which was without its red
record. Again, il he carried the rug

Georges romance gathered itself for
= flight. Perhaps it was love thWart-
ed and the gentleman with the mus
tache and imperial, in spite Of his ami
ability. might be the ogre. Perhaps
It was love and duty. Perhaps her
lover had goeie down to sea. Perhaps
l(for lovers are known to do such
things) he had run away with the
other girl. II that was the case,
George didn not think highly Of that
tentative gentleman's taste. Perhaps
and perhaps again; but George might
have gone On perhapsing till the
crack o. doom, with never a solitary
glimmer of the true state of the girls
mind. Whenever he saw an unknown
man or woman who attracted his at
bention, he never could resist the i'm
pulse to invent a romance that might
apply.
Immediately after dessert the two
rose; and George, finding that nothing
more important than a pineapple ice
detained him, got up and followed. Mr..
