She had not seen him In many
weeks, yet she accepted his sudden ap-
pearanoe without question or surprise.
She was used to his turning up at un-
expected moments. OF course, she
had known that he was In Cairo:
where her mother and uncle were this

The Bitter Fruit.

i ne 6itteF fFuIt.
Fortune had a hearty contempt for
persons who ate their breakfast in
bed. For her the glory of the day was
the fresh fairness of the morning,
when every ones step was buoyant,
and all life stirred theoretically. There
was cheer and hope everywhere; men
faced their labors with clear eye and
feared nothing; women sang at their
work. 1t was only at the close of day
that despair and defeat stalked the
highways. So she was up with the
sun, whether in her own garden or in
these odd and mystical cities. Thus
she saw the patiye as he was, not as
he later in the day pretended to be,
for the benefit Of the Feringhi about
to be stretched upon the sacrificial
stone. She saw, with gladness, the
honey-bee Thrilling the rose, the plow-
mans share barring the soil; the morn
ing, the morning, the two or three
hours that were all, all her own. Her
mother was always irritable and petu-
liant in the morning, and her uncle
never developed the gift Of speech till
after luncheon.
She had the same love of prowling
that lured Ryanne from the beaten
paths. She was not inquisitive but
curious, and that ready disarming
smile Of hers opened many a portal.
She was balancing upon her gloved
palm, thoughtfully, Soudanese head
trinket, pendant of twisted gold
wires, flawed emeralds and second
pearls, really exquisite and not gen.
orally to be found outside the expen-
sive shops in the European quarters,
and there infrequently. The merchant
wanted twenty pounds for it. Fortune
shook her head, regretfully. It was
far beyond her means. She sighed.
Only once in a great while she saw
something for which her whole heart
cried out. This pendant was one of
these.

om, wnolry deserted at this carry


hour
He sat down at a desk and opened
the cable. 1t contained exactly what
he expected. It was q call for adj
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 1t
over a dozen times, with puckered
brow, and finally balled it fiercely in
his fist. Fool! He could not, at that
moment, remember the most essen
tial point in the game, the name and
Office of the agent to whom he must
this very morning send reply. Hur-
Yiedly he fished out the letters; one
chance in a 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 hRtel paper, in
tending to copy it of at the cable
office. This reply covered the ground
convincingly Renting for two
months. Old friends. Leave things
as they are. p. A." The initials
we're little stroke. From some
source Ryanne has picked up the fact
that Jones' business correspondence
was conducted over those two initials.
He tore up the cable into small illegi-
bic squares and dropped some into one
basket and some into another. Next,
he readdressed Georges mail to Leip-
zig; another stroke, meaning a delay
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 a 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; nothing;
mere bagatelle. For the first time in
weeks sense of security invaded his
being.
1t was by now 9 o'clock; and Per-
cfval 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.

the morrow Mr.. Jones would leave for
Port Said. Ryanne shook his head
and with his cane beat light tattoo
against the side of his shin. Abduc-
ton was rather out of his sphere of
action. And yet, the suppression of
Percival was by all odds the most i'm
portant move to be made. He had
volunteered this service and accom-
plish it he must, in face of all obsta-
cles. or poof! went the whole droll
fabric. For to him it was droll, and
never it rose in his mind that he did
not chuckle saturninely 1t was a
kind of nightmare where one hung in
mid-air, ones toes just beyond the
flaming dragons jaws. The rewards
would be enormous, but these he
would gladly surrender for the su.
preme satisfaction of turning the
poisoned arrow in the heart of that
canting hypOcrite, that SNUG church
deacon, the sanctimonious, the sleek,
the well-fed first-bOrn. And poor Per-
cival Algernon, for no blame of his
own, must be taken by the scruff of
his neck and thrust bodily into this
tangled web of scheme and under
scheme. 1t was infinitely humorous.
He had had vague plan regarding
Mahomed, guardian Of the Holy Yhi-
ordes, but it was not possible for him
to be in Cairo at this early date. That
he would eventually appear Ryanne
never doubted. He knew the Oriental
mind. Mahomed-El-Gebel would cross
every barrier less effective than death.
It was serious matter to the Mos
lem. If he returned to the palace at
Bagdad, minus the rug, it would mean
