Helen gazed ABOUT In Wonderment.
Never had she seen 30 many satin slip

many Elaborate evening gowns-none Of

The bureau was simply covered with
bottles and lars and boxes OF various
toilet preparations. And what as that

the electric light sockets? Then Helen
SAN that II was a curling iron heater
for two irons lay beside It, A large
eiderdown puff lay outside OF its white
ivory box filled with pink powder. And
there were combs and brushes and mani
cure articles. Helen had probably never
seen 30 many thinss Tor the toilet, ana
certainty never IN such painful disorder.
She longed TO straighten up the room.
All Of her neat and orderly instincts
were outraged by such disorderly con-
fusion. How could any one live like that?
For the rumpled appearance Of every
thing showed that this was their usual
condition.
Helen stepped over a pair OF blue satin
slippers TO place the pitcher on a stand
by the bed. then turned out the light and
left the room. t-a
Later, as abe brushed her hair for the
night before her own orderly bureau,
with Its few simple toilet articles ar
ranged in neat precision. she wondered
how Mrs Morrison could sleep in a room

welded merciless whips. For out Of
the moonlit wastes behind them had
shriIled a voice, cruel and wild, an
nouncing discovery and the inception
OF the chase. The fugitives had need
OF no sharper spur.
A rifle shot rang sharp on the echoes
OF that cry, but the bullet must have
fallen far short A moment later. In
deed they opened brisk, scattering

bullets dropping right and left in the
sand proved that the chase had got

Even with that warning, the end
was nearer than be had dreamed or
hoped II came in a twinkling and as
unexpected as a bolt out OF a clear
sky: flash Of fire ahead, a spitful
snap and-ptttl the song Of bullet
speeding past his head.
The guide pulled up with a jerk.
O'Rourke, refining in desperately,
swung his camel wide to avert the
threatened collision. simultaneously
the sharp "Qui vive?" of a French
sentry rang out, loud and sweet to
hear
THANK Godl" said the adventurer
in his heart. And aloud. "Friends!"
he cried, driving past the sentry in
cloud of dust.
BY blessed miracle the man was
quick of wit. and swift to grasp the
situation-of which, however, be
must have had some warning from
the rattle OF firing. He screamed
something in ORourke's ear as the
latter passed. and turning threw him
self fiat and began to pump the trig-
ger Of his carbine, emptying the maya
zine at the on-sweeping line of Tou-
aregg.
The alarm was hardly needed;
O'Rourke and the guide swept on
over the slip of a depression in the
desert and halted in the midst of a
camp already quickened and alive
with shadowy figures running method
ically to their posts, carbine and &C
coutrement cleaning in the moon
light: men of the camel crops, hard
ened to and familiar with their work.
They buckled down to 1t in a bust
ness-like way that thrilled the heart
of O'Rourke. In a trice they were
doubling out Fast lines of tethered
mehara. past the white hillocks of
the officers shelter-tents and, like the
sentry, throwing themselves down
upon the ground to take shelter of
whatever inequalities the face of the
desert offered; and their firing ringed
the bivouac with fringe of flame.
O'Rourke slipped from his camel
and turned to watch the skirmish.

rolled an agonized eye upward.

ment, O'Rourke. who had agreed to un-
dertake the mission. finds a mysterious
letter. The vlscount arrives, hands a
sealed package to O'Rourke, who Is not

dainty slippers are seen protrudlng from
under a doorway curtain. The Irishman

CHAPTER vlI.-(contInued.)


BY dawn they were ready to start;
and SO. in the level rays of sun that
seemed a dazzling sphere Of intoler-
able light, poising it8eIf in the eastern
rim Of the world as If undecided
whether or no to take up its flight
across the armament the little cara
van rocked out into the fastness OF
the desert, the Irishman in the van
sitting blooded mehari as one to the
wilderness born.
On the seventh night they bivouack
ed hard on the heels Of the flying col
umn, having for seven days pursued
1t this way and that, zigzagging into
the heart of the parched land.
Now, when they were come within
six hours of their goal, reluctantly,
long after nightfall. O'Rourke gave
consent to halt, conceding the ne
cessity; for WEAKNESS weighed upon
their shoulders a great burden, and
the camels had become unusually sui
len and evil tempered; If rest were
denied them presently they would
become obstinate and refuse to follow
the road. ~
O'Rourke closed his eyes ,eat lost
-eiousness with a sensation of fall
neadlong into a great pit of OBJ
Z 'livion, bottomless, eternal. Yet it
seemed no more than a moment ere
he was sitting up and rubbing sight
into his eyes, shaken out of slumber
by his guide.
He stumbled to his feet and lurched
toward the camels, still but half
awake. When his senses cleared ir-
ritation possessed him. His guide had
been overzealous. He turned upon the
man and seized him roughly by the
arm.
What the divvle!" he grumbled an
grily, between a yawn and a chatter
of teeth-for the air was bitter cold.
"The moons not yet up!"
FLUSH, Sidi!" Something in the
guides tone stilled his wrath. THE
Touaregg are all about us. They have
been passing us throughout the
night"
"Ye knew this and did not wake
me?"
There was no need; we could not
shave moved ere this without detection.
Now. they are all a-stir. and we in
the night. may pass for them-until
mocn.up"
The guide turned away to rouse the
mehara, prodding them up, mutinous.
snarling and ugly. In another five
minutes they were again moving for
ward. BY the time the silver rim of
the moon peered over the edge of the
east they were pelting on at full speed,
as yet, apparently, undetected by the
Touaregg.
An hour passed. and the chill in the
air became more intense; dawn was
at hand sense of security, of dan.
gers left behind. came TO the Irish
man; he began to breathe more free
~, though still the polished butt of a
repeating rife swinging from the sad
die remained a comfort to his palm.

ease. seeing the desert take shape
IN the moonlight and show itself desc
late on every hand.
Even as he gained assurance from
this thought, the guide turned in his
saddle and cried warning; THE Tou
