some day he and Mahomed would play
the final round
His past, his foolish, futile past: all
the follies, all the petty crimes, all
the low designations in which he had

camel, mocking and gibbering at him
Why hadn't he lived clean like Jones
there? Why hadn't he fought temp
tation as he had fought men? Envi-
ronment was no excuse; bringing-up
offered no palliation; he had gone
wrong simply because his inclinations
had been wrong. On the other hand
no one had ever tried to help him
back to decent living. His mother
had died during his childhood, and
her influence had left no impression

his natural enemy since the days of
the nursery. Still, he could not acquit
himself; his own arraignment was as
keen as any Judge could have made
Strong as he was physically, brilliant
as he was mentally, there was a NOR

his own.
In stating that his face had been
granted that dubious honor and con-
Germ of the perpetrators of the rogues

a seizure of soul-bitterness But there
was truth enough in the statement
The Yale expositor., 1912-12-26

that he had been short in his accounts
many thousands at his fathers bank;
gambling debts; and in making no ef-
fort to replace the loss, he was soon
found out by his brother who seemed
only too glad to dishonor him. He
was given his choice: to sign over his
million, due him year later (for at
this time the father was dead), or go
to prison. The scandal Of the affair
had no weight with his brother; he
wanted the younger out OF the way.

portrait for any gallery given over to
rogues. And he hadn't worried much
over the moral problem confronting
him, that the way of the transgressor
is hard. 1t was only when love rent
the veil of his faulty that he saw
himself as he really was.
Love. He gazed ahead at Fortune
under the MAMMAL That a guileless
young girl as she was should enchain
him! That the sight of her should
always send a longing into his soul
to go back and begin over! His jaws
hardened. Why not? Why not try
to recover some OF the crumbs Of the
fine things he had thrown away? At
least enough to permit him to go
again among his fellows without con-
stantly looking behind to note if he
were followed? By the Lord Harry!
once he was out of this web OF his
own weaving, he would live straight;
he swore that every dollar hereafter
put in his pocket should be an honest
one. Fortune could never be his wife.
He came to this fact without any
roundabout or devious byways. In the
first place. he knew he had not
touched her heart; she had been friend
ly; and now even her friendship hung
by a thread. All right. The love he
bore her was going to be his salvation
just the same; and at this moment
he was deadly in earnest.
1t was after nine when they were
ferried across the two canals, the
fresh-water and tho salt several miles
below Serapeum. The three weary
captives saw a great liner slip past
slowly and majestically upon it's way
to the Far East. She radiated with
light and cheer and comfort; and all
could hear family the pulsations Of
her engines. So near and yet so far;
a cup of water to Tantalus! At mid
night they made camp. There were
no palms this time; simply a we'll in

CHAPTER XIV.-(Continued.)

"Why not tell Mahomed at once,
and have him send a courier back for
the rug?" suggested Fortune.
by Jove, that clears up everything.
Well do 1t Immediately" George felt
better than he had at any stage of the
adventure. Here was simple way
out of the difficulty.
Softly" said Ryanne. let us
come down to the lean facts If that
rug is in your room, Fortune, your
mother has discovered it long before
now. She will turn it over to your
estimable uncle. None Of us will ever
see 1t again, I'm thinking. The Major
knows that Jones gave me a thousand
pounds for it," Struck by a sense of
impending disaster, Ryanne began to
tumble in his pockets. Gone! Every
shilling of It gone! Hes got that,
too; Mahomed; the cash you gave me,
Jones. Wait nom nt; don't speak;
things are whirling about some. Over
nine hundred pounds; every shilling
of it. We mustn't let him know that
I've missed it. I've got to play weak
in order to grow strong. But
they will at least start up a row as
to your whereabouts. Fortune"

The undercurrent was too deep for
George. He couldn't see very clearly
just then. The United Romance and

Was there not something sinister
behind that name, concerning him? He
looked patiently from the girl to the
adventurer
Ryanne stared at the yellow desert
beyond. His brain was clearing ran
idly under the stimulus of thought.
He himself did not believe that thew
would send out search-parties either
for him or for Fortune. He could not
fathom what had given Fortune her
belief but he realized that his own
was based upon the recollection of
that savage mood when he had thrown
down the gauntlet. Now they would
accept 1t. He had run away with For
tune as he had boldly threatened TO
do. The mother and her precious
brother would proceed at once to New
York without him. He had made n
fine muddle of 1t all. But for a glass
of wine and grain too much of con-
fidence, he had not been here this day.
Mahomed, himself astir by this
time, came over to the group, leisure
ly. The three looked like conspira-
tors to his suspicious eye, but unlike
conspirators they made no effort to
separate because he approached. He
understood: as yet they were not
