too far away to see the swimming
eyes.
A bawling OF voices, a swapping OF
the kurbash upon the TANKS Of the
camels, and the caravan was once
more under way. George looked at
his watch, which fortunately had been
overlooked by the thieving natives,
and found it still ticking away brisk
ly. It was after nine. It was COM
fort to learn that the watch had not
been injured. Most men are method
ical in the matter OF time, no matter
how desultory they may be IN other
things. There is a peculiar restful-
ness in knowing what the hour is,
whether it passes quickly or whether
1t drags.
Further investigation revealed
that his letter of credit was undis-
turbed and that he was the proud pos
SCISSOR OF six damaged cigars and
box Of cigarettes. Instantly the
thought Of being days without tobacco
smote him almost poignantly. He was
an inveterate smoker. and the fact
that the supply was so pitiably small
gave unusual zest to his craving. He
now longed for the tang Of the weed
upon his lips. but he held out man
fully. He would not touch cigar or
cigarette till nightfall, and then he
made up his mind to smoke half OF
either. The touch, selfish and calcu-
lating, of tho miser, stole over him.

George, to his infinite delight. saw a
cluster of date-palms ahead, q mile
or so; and he knew that this was to
be the haven for the ship Of the des-
ert. The caravan came to It under
the dim light Of the few stars that
had not yet attained their refulgence.
Under the palms were a few deserted
mudhouses, huddled dejectedly to-
gether, like outcasts seeking the near
ness rather than the companionship Of
the co-unfortunates. Men had dwelt
here once upon time, but the plague
had doubtless counted them out, one
by one. They made camp near the
well, which still contained water.
Prayers. A wailing chanted forth
toward Mecca. God is great. There

often that he no longer gave attention
to the muezzln calling at eventide

The camel responded with a cough
and a quickened gait,
Presently George became aware Of
a singular fact: that he could see out
Of one eye better than the other;
and that the semi-useless orb shot out
little stars with every beat of his
heart. One Of his ears, too, began to
throb and burn. He felt of it. 1t was
less like an ear than a mushroom. 1t
had been a rafting good mix-up, any
how; and he accepted the knowledge
rather proudly that the George Perez
val Algernon, who but lately had en-
tered the English-Bar sprucely and
had made his exit In a kind of negli-
gible attire, had left behind one char
acter and brought away another. New

tame tiger, as 1t were, had had his
first taste of blood.
Dawn, dawn; IL only the horizon
would brighten up little so that he
could get his bearings. BY now they
were at least fifteen or twenty miles
from Cairo; but in what direction?
Hour after hour went by; over this
huge grey roll of sand, down into that
cup-like valley; soundless save when
the camels protested or his stirrup
clinked against a buckle; all with the
somber aspect of a scene from Dante.
Several black spots. moving in circles
far above, once attracted George; and
he knew them to be kites, which will
follow a caravan into the desert even
as a gull will follow ship out to sea.
Later, a torpid indifference took pos
session of him, and the sense Of pain
grew less under the encroaching
numbness.
And when at last the splendor OF
the dawn upon the desert flashed like
sword-blade along the sky in the
east, grew and wldened, George COM
pretended one thing clearly, that they
were in the Arabian desert, out of the
main travelled paths, In the middle OF
nowhere.
His sense of beauty did not respond
to the marvel of the transformation.
The dark grey of the sand-hills that
! became violet at their bases, to fade
away upward into little pinnacles of
shimmering gold; the drab, formless,
scattered boulders, now assuming
clear-cut shapes, transfused with ruby
and sapphire glowing; the sun itself

ing circle above the stepping-off
place-George saw but noted not. The
physical picture was overshadowed by
the one he drew in his mind: the good
ship Ludwig, boring her way out into
the sea.
The sun was free from the deserts

He would have TO make the best OF a
foolish move; for the girl would
eventually prove an encumbrance. At
any rate, he would wiring one white
mans heart till it beat dry in his
breast. That her health might be ru-
ined, that she might sicken and die,
in no manner aroused his pity. This
attribute was destined never to be
awakened in Mahomed's heart.
The kisweh, the kisweh, always the
Holy Yhiordes; that he must have,
even If he had to forego the pleasure
Of breaking Ryanne. He was too old
to start life anew; at least, too old
to stir ambition. He had welded au-
lightly; he had known too long his
golden-faked tobacco. his sherbet,
his syrupy coffee, the pleasant loaf
ing in the bazaars with his merchant
friends. To return to the palace, to
confess to the Pasha that his careless
ness had lost him the rug, would re-
suit either in death or Punishment;
and so far as he was concerned he
had no choice, the one was as bad as
the other. So, If the young fool who
had bought the rug OF Ryanne told
the truth when he declared that 1t
had been stolen again, then Ryanne
knew where it was; and he could be
made to tell; he, Mahomed, would at
tend to that And when Ryanne con-
fessed. the girl and the other would
be conveyed to the nearest telegraph
post. That they might at once report
the abduction to the English authori-
ties did not worry Mahomed. Not the
feetest racing-cr ell could find him,
and behind the walls OF the palace
of Bagdad, only Allah could touch
him. He had figured 1t all out closely,
and he was an admirable strategist
in his way. Revenge upon Ryanne for
the dishonor and humiliation, and the
return Of the rug; there was nothing
more beyond that.
Before George had the opportunity
Of speaking to Fortune, he was raised
from the sand and bodily lifted upon
his camel; and by way OF passing
pleasantly, his hat was damned down
over his eyes. He swore as he pulled
up the brim. Swearing was another
accomplishment added to the list Of
transformations. He had a deal to
learn yet, but in his present mood he
was likely to proceed famously. He
