To sleep like that! He shrugged,
threw off his coat, swept the cover
from the stand, found pack OF cards,
and played solitaire till the first pallor
Of dawn announced the new day.
Reclining snugly against the para
pet, wrapped in his tattered arbiyeth,
or cloak, his head pillowed upon his
lean arm, motionless with that pre-
tended sleep Of the watcher. Mahomed-
El-Gebel kept his vigil. Miles upon
miles he had come, across three bleak,
cold, binding deserts, on camels, in
trains, on camels again, night and day,
day and night, across the soundless,
yellow plains. Allah was good to the
true believer. The night was chill,
but certain fires warmed his blood. All
day long he had followed the accursed,
lying giaour, but never once had he
wandered into the native quarters Of
the city. Patience! What was a day,
a week, year? Grains Of sand. He
could wait. Inshalla!

CHAPTER VIII.
The Purloined Gable.

George, having made his bargain
with conscience relative to the Yhior-
DIES rug, slept the sleep of the untrou-
nothing in particular to get up for. In
fact, after having drunk his breakfast
cocoa and eaten his buttered toast, he
evinced his satisfaction by turning his
face away from the attracting morn
ing light and passing off into sleep
again. And thereby hangs this tale
So much depended upon his getting
his mail as it came in that morning,
that Fate herself must have resisted
sturdily the desire to shake him by
the shoulder. Perhaps she would have
done so but for the serenity of his
pose and the infantile smile that lin
gered for while round his lips. Fate,
as with most of us, has her sentiment
al lapses.
The man next door, having no con-
science to speak Of (indeed, he had de-
rallied her while passing his twenti-
eth meridianD was up betimes. He
had turned in at four; at six he was
strolling about the deserted Longing
room, watching the entrances. 1t Is
inconceivable how easily mail may be
purlolned in large hotel. There are
as many ways as points to the wind.
Ryanne chose the simplest. He waited
for the mailbag to be emptied upon
the head-porter's counter. Nonchal-
antly, but deftly, while the porter
looked on. the adventurer ran through
the bulk. He found three letters and
cable, the latter having been re-
ceived by Georges bankers the day
before and mailed directly to the ho-
tel. The porter had no suspicion that
a bold theft was being committed I'M
der his very eyes. Moreover, circum-
stances prevented his ever learning
of It. Ryanne stuffed the spoils into
a pocket.
'If any one asks for me-" he said,
SAY that I shall be at my bankers,
the Anglo Egyptian bank, at 10 o'clock.
Eyes, sir" replied the porter. as he
began to sort the rest OF the mail,
not forgetting to peruse the postals.
Ryanne went out into the street,
walking rapidly into town. Mahomed-
El.Gebel shook the folds Of his cloak
and followed. The adventurer did not
slacken his gait till he reached Shep-
heard's hotel. Upon the steps he
paused Soms Tnslish troops we're

marching past, on the way to the rail

tives were patrolling the sidewalks,
dangling strings Of imitation scarabs;
caravan Of pack-camels, laden with
cotton, shuffled by haughtily; blind
beggar sat on the curb in front
munching piece Of sugar cane
Ryanne, assured that no one he knew
was about, proceeded into the writing
room, wholly deserted at this early
hour.
He sat down at a desk and opened
the cable. 1t contained exactly what
he expected. 1t was call for ad.
vice in regard to the rental of Mr.
George P. A. Jones' mansion in New
York and the temporary disposing OF
the loose valuables. Ryanne read II
over dozen times. with puckered
brow, and finally balled 1t fiercely in
his fist. Fool! He could not, at that
moment, remember the most essen.
tial point in the game, the name and
this very morning send reply. Hur
riedly he fished out the letters; one
chance in thousand. He swore, but
in relief. In the corner of one of the
letters he saw that for some unknown
reason the gods were still with him.
Reynolds and Reynolds, estates, Broad
street; he remembered. He wrote out
a reply on piece of hotel paper, in.
tending to copy 1t off at the cable
office. This reply covered the ground
convincingly. Renting for two
months. Old friends. Leave things
as they are. F. A" The initials
were a little stroke. From some
source Ryanne has picked up the fact
that Jones' business correspondence
was conducted over those two initials

basket and some into another. Next,
he readdressed Georges mail to Leip.
of two or three months; from the
head office of his bankers there to
Paris, Paris to Naples, Naples to New
York. That Ryanne did not open
these letters was in nowise due to
moral suasion; whatever they con-
tanned could be of no vital Importance
to him.
Nov, Horace, we shall bend the
crook of our elbow in the bar-room.
The reaction warrants stimulant."
An hour later the whole affair was
nicely off his hands. The cable had
cost him three sovereigns. But what
was that? Niente, rien; pothing; a
mere bagatelle. For the first time in
weeks sense of security invaded his
being.
It was by now o'clock; and Per
cival Algernon still reposed upon his
bed of ease. Let him sleep. Many
days were to pass ere he would again
know the comfort OF linen sheets, the
luxury of down under his ear.
