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 it. Once
the evil laughter OF hyena came over
her ears, shivering. Alone! 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. Horace!
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

back upon the hard clay and slept.
Romance Is the greatest thing in the
world; but for all that, a 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 a 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
a 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 glowering at no visible
thing
"Hello!" cried George. Found
yourself, eh? ?"
Ryanne eyed him without emotion.
when and how did they get you?"
George inquired.
About three hours 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; Pm 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 2"
"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 L."
1T comes hard, Jones, I know, but
your giving it up will save us both
many bad days. He asked you for it p"
He did"
Then why the devil didn't you give
it to him? What's thousand pounds
against this muddle?"
For ting simple reason didn't have
it to give up"
What's that?"
When ! went up to my room, night

He was a most intelligent youth.
and while going through the basement
at the works he noticed that some
thing was wrong with the machinery.
He at once gave the alarm, and pre-
vented what might have been a seri-
Gus accident. The circumstance was
reported to the head OF the firm. be-
fore whom the lad was summoned.

remarked, encouragingly. I'm all the

ITCHING AND BURNING

Iberia, Mo.-'I was troubled with
scalp eczema for about five years and
tried everything ! heard of, but all OF
no avail. The doctors told me would
have to have my head shaved. Being
q woman, I hated the idea of that. I
was told by a friend that the Cuticura
Remedies would do me good. This
spring purchased two boxes of Cuti-
cura Ointment and one cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap. After using one box OF
Cuticura Ointment I considered the
cure permanent, but continued to use
it to make sure and used about one
half the other box. Now am entirely
well. l also used the Cuticura Soap.
"The disease began on the back or
my head, taking the form Of ring
worm, only more severe, rising to u
thick, rough scale that would come off
when soaked with oil or warm water.
bringing few hairs each time, but in
a few days would form again, larger
each time, and spreading until the en-.
tire back of the head was covered with
the scale. This was accompanied by
a terNble itching and burning sensa-
tion. Now my head is completely we'll
and my hair growing nicely" (Signed)

With a consideration that spoke
we'll 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 dreadfuily 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 it 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 q melancholy pride
in his swollen ear and half-shut eye.
He had always been doubtful regard
ing his courage; and now he knew
that George Percival Algernon Jones
was as good a name as Bayard.
The came-boys (they are called
boys all the way from ten years up to
forty), having hobbled the beasts,
were portioning each a small bundle
of tibbin or chopped straw in addition
to what they might find by grazing.
Funny brutes, thought George, as he
walked among the kneeling animals:
to go five days without food or water,

to travel continuously from twenty
five to eighty miles the day! Others
were busy with the pack-baskets. A
tent, presumably Mahomed's, was be-
ing erected upon clayey piece OF
ground in between the palms. No one
entered the huts, even out Of curios
ity; so George was certain that the
desertion had been brought about by
one plague or another. A smaller
tent was put up later. and he was
grateful at the sight Of 1t. It meant
little privacy for the poor girl. Great
God, how helpless he was, how help
less they all we're!
An incessant clatter, occasionally
interspersed with 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.
The war OF the night before had been
all in days work, for which they
had been ilberally paid. While he had
had ridden camels, a real caravan,
prepared for weeks Of travel, was a
distinct novelty, and so he viewed all
with interest, knowing perfectly well
that within a few days he would look
upon these activities with a dull. hope

girl and sat down beside her.
Have you any idea why you are
here?"

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, filled
him with comfortable drowsiness;
and the cigar, still smoking, dropped
from his nerveless fingers, as he lay

But Ryanne stopped. He looked be-
yond George, his face full of terror.
George turned to see what had pro-
ddced this effect Fortune was COM

he sank, his face in his hands. Il

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 a 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 a boxer who had returned to the
contest after having been floored half
4 dozen times.
Can you hear me?" asked George.
Ryanne stared into his face. Yes"
thickly. Where are we?"
I'm the desert"
(Which one?"

Ryanne tried to sit up alone.
Better not try to move. They
banged you up at a great rate. Best
thing you can do is to go to sleep.
You'll be all right in the morning."
The Yale expositor., 1912-12-19

"Gone!" There was no mistaking
the dismay in Ryanne's voice.
Absolutely"
We'll. be damn!" Ryanne threw
aside the blanket and got up. It was
a painful movement. and he swayed
little. "If Mahomed hasn't It, and
I haven't it, and you haven't 1t. who
the devil has, then?"
George shook his head.
Jones we are in for II. II that

become of her. Perhaps she would
be glad, glad to be rid of her and her
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.

let her see you like this. She mustn't

A good fire was started, and the flu
nersal 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 a wet
handkerchief. After a time Ryanne
turned over and flung his arms Imply
across his face. 1t was the first sign
Of life he had exhibited since the
start. Fortune gently pulled aside
his arms and continued her tender
znercies.
Can help?" asked George.
You might rub his wrists" she
answered.
Tt seemed odd to him that they
staouId begin In such a matter-of-fact
way. It would be only when they
aituation that questions would put
forth for answers. He knelt down at
Size other side of Ryanne and mas
sEaged his wrists and arms. Once he
caused, catching his breath.
What is it?" she asked.
~'A rib seems to bother me. It'll be
all right tomorrow" He went on
with his manipulations.
"Ts ne badly hurt?"
'~I can't say"
His knowledge Of anatomy was not
1xide; 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
rnumbied some words. George bent
down to catch them. "Hit 'em up in
chis half, boys; we've got them going.
EScIl! Get off my head, you farmer!

Gace puckered into what was intended

gently. Football and poker: what

two men and the fire, casting a long
shadow athwart them. George looked
rp and saw Mahomed standing close
Sy. His arms were folded and his
EAoe grimly inscrutable.
~'FIave you any blankets?" asked
George coolly.
Mahomed gave an order. A blanket
and two saddle-bags were thrown
down beside the unconscious man.
George made a pillow of the bags and
laid the blanket over Ryanne.
