SYNOPSIS.

George PercivaI Algernon Jones, vice
president of the Metropolitan Oriental
Rug company of New York. thirsting for
romance, is in Cairo on a business trip.
Horace Ryanne arrives at the hotel IN
Cairo with a carefully guarded bundle.
Ryanne sells Jones the famous holy Yhl-
OTdes rug which he admits having stolen
from a pasha at Bagdad Jones meets
Major Callahan and later is introduced to
Fortune Chedsoye by a woman to whom
ne had loaned $50 pounds at Monte Carlo
some months previously, and who turns
out to be Fortunes mother. Jones takes
Mrs. Chedsoye and Fortune to a polo
game. Fortune returns to Jones the
money borrowed by her mother. Mrs.
ChedsOye appears to be engaged In some
mysterious enterprise unknown to the
daughter. Ryanne interests Jones in the
United Romance and Adventure com,
pany, a concern which for a price VIII
arrange any kind Of an adventure to or
der. Mrs. Chedsoye, her brother, Major
Callahan, Wallace and Ryanne, as the
United Romance and Adventure company,
plan a risky enterprise involving Jones.
Ryanne makes known to Mrs. -ChedSoye
his intention to marry Fortune. MRS.
CAedsoye declares she will not permlt II.
Plans are laid to prevent Jones SAILING
for home. Ryanne steals Jones letters
and cable dispatches. He wires agent In
New York in Jones' name, that he -
renting house in New York to some
friends Mahomed, keeper OF the molly
carpet, is on Ryanne's trail. Ryanne
promises Fortune that he will see that
Jones comes to no harm as result or his
purchase OF the rug.

What cleverness the mother and

ritation the folly of his ultimatum Of
the preceding night. He had had not
the slightest semblance of plan in
his head. Sifted down, he saw his
savage and senseless humor and the
desire to stir up discord. Gioconda
was right. Fortune was above them
all, in feeling, in instinct. in loyalty.
What right had he, roisterer by night
that he was, predaceous outlaw, what
right had he to look upon Fortune as
his own? Harm her! He would have

ly, for none would believe that his
burnouse was well lined with English
bank-notes.
"Well?" said Ryanne, whirling his
cane. He was by no means at ease.
There was going to be trouble some
where along the road.
II have come for the Yhiordes, eff

"The rug7 That's too bad. haven't

who has?" One fear beset Mahom-
eds heart; this dog, whom he called
effendi, might have sold it, since that
must have been the ultimate purpose
Of the theft. And If he had sold It
to one who had left Egypt Ma
homed's neck grew cold. who has
it, effendi? Is the man still in Cairo p
Eyes. If you and your two friends
will come with me to the English-Bar,
I'll explain many things to you," as
sured Ryanne, beginning, as he be-
lieved, to see his way forward. "Don't
be afraid. I'm not setting any trap for
you. I'll tell you truthfully that I
didn't expect to see you so soon. If
you'll come along TIL do the best can
to straighten out the matter, What do
you say?"
Mahomed eyed him with keen dis
trust This white man was as strong
in cunning as he was in flesh. He had
had practical demonstrations. Still,
whatever road led to the recovery of
the rug must needs be travelled. His
arm, though 1t still reposed in a sling.
was not totally helpless. 1t stood
three to one, then. He spoke briefly
to his companions, over whom he
seemed to have some authority. These
two inventoried the smooth-faced Fer
inghi. One replied. Mahomed ap-
proved. Three to one, and in these
streets many to call upon, in case Of
open hostilities. The English-Bar Ma
homed knew tolerably well. He had
known 1t in the lawless and reveling

his. They were rather upon even
terms in the adjudication Of each 9th
er's character.
The. English-Bar was not the most
inviting place. Sober, Ryanne had
never darkened its doors. The odor
OF garlic prevailed over the lesser
smells Of bad cooking. It was lighted
only from the street, by two windows
and a door that swung open all the
days In the year. The windows were
generally half obscured by bills an
nouncing boxing-matches, wrestling
bouts and the Autographs of cheap
theaters. The walls were decorated
In q manner to please the inherent
Anglo-Saxon taste for strong men, fast
horses, and pink-tfghted Venuses. A
few irou-topped tables Uttered both
room and sidewalk, and here were
men Of a dozen nationalities, slipping
coffee, drinking beer, or solemnly
watching the water-bubbles In their
Sheeshas, or pipes.
A curious phase Of this class of un'
der-world is that no one is curious.
Strangers are never questioned except
when they invite attention, which they
seldom do. So, when Ryanne and his
quasi-companions entered, there wasn't
the slightest agitation. A blowsy bar
maid stood behind the bar, polishing
the copper spigots. Ryanne threw her
a greeting, to which she responded
with a smirk that once upon time
had been a smile. He, being master
Of ceremonies, selected table In the
corner The four sat down, and Ryanne
plunged intrepidly into the business
under hand. To make tool of Ma
homed, if not an ally, toward this he
directed his effort. Half dozen times,
Mahomed dropped a word in Arabic to
the other two, who understood little or
no English.
so, you see, Mahomed, that's the
way the matter stands. I'm not so
much to blame as you think. Here
this man Jones has me in wise. If
do not get this bit of carpet, off go,
into the dark, into nothing. l handled

eighties. 1t would certainly be neu-
trail ground, since the proprietor was
GreNk. With a dignifed sweep of his
hand. he signed for Ryanne to get into
the carriage. Ryanne did so, relieved.
He was certain that he could bring
Mahomed round to a reasonable view
Of the affair. He was even willing to
give him a little money. The three
Arabs climbed in beside him, and the

to his prowess in silence. Indeed, he
gazed dreamily over Ryanne's head.
The other fellow wouldn't trouble any
one again. To Mahomed 1t had not
been the battle, man to man; it had
been the guile and trickery leading
up to it. He had been bested at his
own game, duplicity, and that irked
him. Death, he, as his kind, looked

bv the West Shore Railroad. Tho price
paid for the tract was not made public.
