A bawling of voices, a swapping of
the kurbash upon the ianks of the

his watch. which fortunately had been

and found it still ticking away brisk

now longed for the tang of the weed

He would have to make the best of a

eventually prove an encumbrance. At

confess to the Pasha that his careless
ness had lost him the rug, would re-
suit either in death or Punishment;
and 80 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 1T 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

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 jammed 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
readjusted the hat In time to see Ry-
anne unceremoniously dumped into
one of the yawning pack-baskets, his
arms and legs hanging out, his head
lolling against his shoulder. exactly
like marionette, cast aside for the
time being. A man of ordinary STAN
ina would have died under such treat
ment. But Ryanne possessed an ex-
traordinary constitution, against which
years of periodical dissipation had as
yet made no permanent inroads More

up and his waist-line down. They put
him into the pack-basket because

The camel responded with a cough
and quickened gait.
Presently George became aware of
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 1t. 1t was
less like an ear than a mushroom. 1t
had been rattling good mix-up, any
how; and he accepted the knowledge
rather proudly that the George Perci-

had made his exit in kind of negli-
