The answer is because the normal

This oasis was close to the regular

some twenty-odd miles to the north.
But Mahomed felt safe at this distance.
and decided to freshen up the caravan
by a two.days' rest.

But for this call George might have

his feet and seized her by the hands,
boyishly.

Mahomed Rides Alone.

It was as if the stiffness of the des-
ert itself had encompassed the two
men. In their ears the slither of the
brittle palm-leaves against one an
other and the crackle of the fire were
no longer sounds. They stared at
Fortune with that speechless wonder
Of men who had come Unexpectedly
upon wrath. What with the faint
glow of the fire upon one side of her
and the pallor of moonsh!ne upon the
other. she did indeed resemble mans
conception Of the spiritual.

"Yes." Ryanne looked away.
II had not quite expected this: the
daughter of thief"
ooh. come now; don't look at 1t
that way. Smuggling is altogether a
different thing" protested Ryanne.
(Women were uncertain; here she
was. apparently the least agitated of
the three.) "Why, hundreds of men
and women who regularly go to
church, think nothing Of beating
Uncle Sam out of a few dollars. Here's
Jones. for instance: he would have
tried to smuggle in that rug. Isn't
that right, Jones?"
"Of counsel" cried George eagerly,
though scarcely knowing what he
said. I'D have done It."
"And you wouldn't call Percival a
thief" with forced laugh. cts like

1T is stealing" she reiterated.
How wan she looked! thought
George.
"How can you make that stealing ?"
Ryanne was provoked.
THE law puts a duty upon such
things: If you do not pay It. you steal.
Oh, Horace. don't waste your time
in specious arguments" She made a
gesture, weariness personified. ut IL

to offer against these queries.

pleased his fancy more than to see the
cloud-shadows scud away across the
sands. Once, toward the latter end
of day, Fortune cried out and pointed.
Far away, palely yet distinctly, they
saw an ocean liner. She stood out
against the following sky as a magic.

screen. and faded similarly. It was
the one and only mirage they saw, or
at least noticed.
Once another caravan, composed
wholly Of Arabs, passed. What hope
the prisoners had was instantly
snuffed out. Before the strangers
came within hailing, Mahomed hustled
his captives into his tent and swore
he would kill either George or Ryanne
If they spoke. He forgot Fortune,
however. AS the caravan passed she
screamed. Instantly Mahomed clapped
his hand roughly over her mouth. The
sheik Of the passing caravan looked
keenly at the tent, smiled grimly and
passed on. What was it to him that a
white woman lay in yonder tent? His
one emotion was Of envy. After this
the prisoners became apathetic.
Upon the seventh day, they wit.
messed the deserts terrifying anger.
The air that had been cool, suddenly
grew still and hot; the blue above
began to fade, to assume dusty, cop
perish color. The camels grew rest
less. Quickly there rose out Of the
horizon saffron clouds, approaching
with incredible swiftness. Little
whirlwinds of sand appeared here
and there, rose and died as If for
want of air. Mahomed veered the car
avian toward kind of bluff composed
of sand and precipitous boulders. All
the camels were made to kneel. The
boys muffled up their mouths and
noses, and Mahomed gave instruc-
tons to his captives. Fortune buried
her head in her coat and nestled down
beside her camel, while George and
Ryanne used their handkerchiefs.
George left his camel and sought For.

what he did. He vaguely meant to
encourage her; and possibly he did.
The storm broke. The sun became
obscured. Pebbles and splinters Of
rock sang through the pail of whirling
sand. A golden tone enveloped the
little gathering.

its fury in half an hour and the
clearing air became cold again. The
caravan proceeded. The hair Of ev.

and their garments.
When camp was made that night
