business Of breaking camp.
George was keenly interested in
this man who could accept such
kick apparently without feeling or re-
sentiment. He stood up for better
view. One glance was sufficient. 1t
was Ryanne, the erstwhile affable
Ryanne Of the reversible cuffs: his
feet and hands still in bondage, his
clothes torn, his face battered and
bruised like sailors Of a Sunday
morning on shore-leave. The sight of
Ryanne frightened him considerably.
Although he was singularly free from
the spirit Of malevolence, he was, new
nrtheless. human enough to subscribe
to that unwritten and much denied
creed that the misery Of one man REQ
oncfles another to his. And here was
company such as misery loved; here
was man worse off than himself,
whose prospects were a thousand
times blacker. Poor devill And here
he was, captive Of tho men he had

outlook was not a pleasant thing to
contemplate. But oh! the fight this
one must have been! II 1t had taken
five natives to overcome him, how
many had It taken to beat Ryanns

was genuinely sorry for Ryanne, but
in his soul he was glad to see him,

CHAPTER XII.
The Caravan In the Desert,

- The Caravan In the Desert.
Yes, George vanished from the
Aaunts of men as completely as If the
Great Roc had dropped him into the
Valley of Diamonds and left him
there; and as nobody knows just
where the Valley of Diamonds is,
George was very we'll lost Still, there
was, at the end of q most unique ex-
pefience, a recompense far beyond it's
value. :. ut, of course, George, being
without tho gift of clairvoyance, saw
nothing save the immediate and immi-
hent circumstances: a door that
banged behind him, portentously; a
sack, cloak, burnouse, or whatever
1t was, flung about his head, and
smelling evilly.
George hit out valiantly, and mer
~ scuff1e ensued. The room was
small; at least. George thought it was.
for in the space of one minute he
thumped against the four sides Of it.
He could see nothing and he couldn't
breathe very we'll: but in spite of
these Inconvenience he put up three
rounds that would have made some
Stir among the middleweights. In the
phraseology Of the fancy, he had a
good punch. All the disappointments
OF the day seemed to become SO many
pounds of steam in his shoulder; and
he was aware Of a kind of barbaric
Joy whenever he hit some one. All
the circumspection Of years, all Of
the gentle blood of his peaceful for

Into one Of the Rectangular corners.

arms was not unlike that seen upon

From the opposite side of the room
came the voice Of the referee:
Courses Of Allah upon these white
dogs! How they fght!" And Ma
Nmed peered down into the corner.
One by one the Arabs got up, each
examining his honorable wounds.
George alone remained unmoved, quiet
and disinterested, under the folds Of
the tattered burnouse.
"1s he dead?" demanded Mahomed.
"No. my father. His head hit the
wall"
Hasten. then. Bind his feet and
hands and cover his eyes and mouth.
We have but little time"
There was long way to go, and
Mahomed was too wise and cautious
to congratulate himself at this early
stage. George was thereupon trussed
up like a Christmas fowl ready for
the oven. They wrapped him up in
the burnouse and carried him out to
the closed carriage in waiting. No
one in the street seemed curious. No
one in the English-Bar deemed it nee.
essary to be. Whatever happened in
this resort had long been written in
the book of fate. Had a white man
approached to inquire what was going
on, Mahomed would have gravely
whispered that 1t was a case Of
plague they were hurrying away to
prevent interference by the English
authorities.
Once George was snug inside the
carriage, 1t was driven off at a run
toward the tombs Of the caliphs. AS
the roads were not the levelest, the
vehicle went most Of the way upon
