name? And how might her presence
torture Ryanne? George felt weak
In that bitter moment. Ay, how might
not her presence torture him also
He had never, for the briefest space,
thought OF Ryanne and Fortune at the
same time. She spoke. alphabetically
1t was true. as If she had known him
all her life. The wisest thing he could
do was to bring Ryanne to condition
where he could explain some parts OF
the enigma and be of some use. Hor-
ace!
I'm going to have another try at
him." he said.
She nodded. but without any par
ticular enthusiasm.
George worked over Ryanne for the
better part of an hour. and finally the
battered man moved. He made an eff
fort to speak. but this time no sound
issued from his lips. At the end of
the hour he opened his eyes and
smiled. 1t was more like the grin
George had once seen upon the face
of boxer who had returned to the
contest after having been fioored half
a dozen times.
Can you hear me?" asked George.
Ryanne stared into his face. YES"

Ryanne tried to sit up alone.
Better not try to move. They

thing you can do is to go to sleep.

back upon the hard clay and slept.
Romance is the greatest thing in the
world; but for all that, man must
eat and man must sleep.
The cold dew of dawn was the tonic
that recalled him from the land of
grotesque dreams He sat up and
rubbed his face briskly with his hands,
drying 1t upon the sleeve of his coat,
as hasty and as satisfying toilet as
he had ever made. There was no ac-
tivity In camp; evidently they were
not going to start early. The cook
alone was busy. The fire was crack
ling. the kettle was steaming, and
pot of pleasant-smelling coffee
leaned rakishly against the hot
ashes. The flap to Fortunes tent was
still closed. And there was Ryanne,
sitting with his knees drawn up under
his chin, his hands clasped about his
shins. and giowering at no visible
thing.
"Hellol" cried George. Found
yourself. eh?"
Ryanne eyed him without emotion.
When and how did they get your"
George inquired.
ABOUT three nourS before they got
you. Something in a glass of wine.
Dope. I'd have cleaned them up but
for that"
How do you feel?"
Damned bad, Percival."
ANY bones broken?"
No; I'm just knocked about; sore
spot in my side; kicked, maybe. But
it isn't that"
George didn't ask what that" was.
Where do you think he's taking us ?"
"Bagdad. If we don't die upon the
way"
Il don't think he'll kill us. 1t
wouldn't be worth his while"
you did not give him the rug"
Not II"
"It comes hard, Jones, know, but
your giving 1t up will save us both
many bad days. He asked you for it?"
He did"
Then why the devil didn't you give
1t to him? What's a thousand pounds
against this muddle?"
For the simple reason l didn't have
it to give up"
What's that?"
When / went up.to my room, night

admirable frankness.

for George had some very brave
words upon the tip of his tongue.

Good night, Mr.. Jones. Don't wor-
ry; am not afraid"
George was alone. He produced
one of his precious cigars and lighted
It Then he drew over his feet one of
the empty saddle-bags, wrapped his
blanket round him. and sat smoking
and thinking till the heat of the fire
replenished from time to time, filed
him with comfortable drowsiness:

CHAPTER XIV.
Mahomed offers Freedom.

Fortune had slept, but only after
hours of watchful terror. The slight
est sound outside the tent sent a
scream into her throat, but she sue
ceeded each time in sitting 1t. Once
the evil laughter of a hyena came over
her ears, shivering. Alonel She laid
her head upon the wadded saddle-bags
and wept silently, and every sob tore
at her heart. She must keep up the
farce of being brave when she knew
that she wasn't The men must not
be discouraged Her department
would characterize theirs; any sign
of weakness upon her side would cor
respondingly depress them the more.
She prayed to God to give her the
strength to hold out. She was afraid
of Mahomed; she was afraid of his
grim smile, afraid of his mocking
eyes; she could not sponge out the
scene wherein he had SO gratuitously
kicked Horace in the side. Horacel
No. she did not believe that she would
ever forgive him for this web which
he had spun and fallen into himself
Two things she must hide for the
sake of them all: her fear of Mahom-
ed and her knowledge of Ryanne's
trickery.
What part in this tragedy had the
Arab assigned her? Her fingers twined
and untwined, and she rocked and
rocked bit her lips, lay down, sat up
and rocked again. But for the ex-
haustion, but for the insistent call of
nature, she would never have closed
her eyes that night.
And her mother! What would her
mother believe. after the scene that
had taken place between them? What
could she believe, save that her daugh-
ter had fulfilled her threat, and run
away? And upon this not unreason-
able supposition her mother would
make no attempt to find out what had

With consideration that spoke
well of his understanding, he did not
speak to her again till food was
passed. Later. when the full terror
OF the affair took hold of her, she
would be dreadfully lonely and would
need to see him near. to hear his
voice. He forced some OF the hot
soup down Ryanne's throat. and was
glad to note that he responded little.
After that he limped about the strange
camp. but was careful to get in no
ones way. Slyly he took note of this
face and that, and his satisfaction
grew as he counted the aftermath of
the war. And 1t had taken five of
them. and even then the result had
been in doubt up to the moment when
his head had gone bang against the
stucco. He took a melancholy pride
in his swollen ear and half-shut eye.
He had always been doubtful regard

that George Percival Algernon Jones

boys all the way from ten years up to

walked among the kneeling animals:

But Ryanne stopped. He looked be-

George turned to see what had pro-

An incessant clatter, occasionally
interspersed with a laugh, went on.
The Arab, unlike the East Indian, is
not ordinarily surly; and these
seemed to be good-natured enough.
They eyed George without malice.

had been literally paid. While he had

questions. Alone! Well. she had al
ways been alone.
The only ray of sunshine in all was
the presence of Jones. She felt,
subtly, that he would not only stand
between her and Mahomed, but also
between her and Ryanne.
"Hush!" whispered George. Don't

aereal aspect OF the oasis became
quick and cheerful A little distance
from the blaze, George saw Fortune
bending over the inanimate Ryanne.
She was bathing his face with wet
handkerchief After time Ryanne

answered.
1t seemed odd to him that they
should begin in such matter-of-fact
way. 1t would be only when they
had fully adjusted themselves to the
situation that questions would put
forth for answers. He knelt down at
the other side of Ryanne and mas
saged his wrists and arms. Once he
paused, catching his breath.
what is it?" she asked.
"A rib seems to bother me. It'll be
all right tomorrow" He went on
'Is he badly hurt?"
II can't say"
His knowledge of anatomy was not
wide: still, Ryanne's arms and legs
worked satisfactorily. The trouble
was either in his head or back of his
ribs. He put his arm under Ryanne's
shoulder and raised him. Ryanne
mumbled some words. George bent
down to catch them. '.TIit em up IN

face puckered into what was intended
for smile. George laid him back
gently. Football and poker what
had this man not known or seen in
life? Some one came between the
two men and the fire, casting long
shadow athwart them. George looked
up and saw Mahomed standing close
by. His arms were folded and his
face grimly inscrutable.
Have you any blankets?" asked
George coolly.
Mahomed gave an order. A blanket
and two saddIebags were thrown
down beside the unconscious man.
George made pillow OF the bags and
laid the blanket over Ryanne.
why do you waste your time over
him?" asked Mahomed curiously.
II would not let dog die this way"
he retorted.
He would have let you die" replied
Mahomed, turning. upon his heel

LAvERY WANTS HAVENS' PLACE
 ON COMMITTEE
Republicans Not Agreed as to Committeeman from
 23rd District
The Four Delegates at Large to Republican State Con
 vention Have Been Picked

The Republican machine is still conferring as to the personnel of the delegates to the state convention in New Haven to be chosen at the city convention tomorrow night.
 Today it was stated that the bosses had agreed that the four delegates at large would be Mayor Wilson, Howard S. Challenger, Charles H. Blackham and William B. Seeley.
 A. J. Northey will also go along as one of the delegates from the 21st senatorial district.
 Prosecutor Alexander Delaney can go if he cares to but he is said not to be particular.
 It is understood that for tactical reasons John T. King will not be named as delegate to the state con- vention. Tactical in this instance is good.
 Al Lavery is looking for the place on the state central committee that is said to have been as good as as sured to Elmer H. Ravens. The dele gates of the 10th district have en- dorsed MT. Havens The delegates of the 18th belong to MT. Lavery. It is understood that the 9th dis trict delegates favor HIT. Ravens also, but MT. Lavery is the power in the administration and if he insists upon displacing the erstwhile colonel he will probably succeed.
