marching past, on the way to the rail
way station; the usual number of ma
tives were patrolling the sidewalks,
dangling strings of imitation scarabs;
a 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 a 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 4,
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
Office of the agent to whom he must
this very morning send reply. Hur
riedly he fished out the letters; one
chance in a thousand. He swore, bui
in relief. In the corner of one of the
letters he saw that for some unknown
reason the gods were still with him

street; he remembered He wrote out

as they are. P. A." The initials
were 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
BILE squares and dropped some into one
basket and some into another. Next.
he readdressed Georges mail to Leip
zig; another stroke, meaning 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.
"Now, 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; nothing: 0
mere bagatelle. For the Hrst time IN
weeks sense of security Invaded his
being.
1t was by now 8 o'clock; and Per

days were to pass ere he would again

luxury of down under his ear.

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 day,
a week, a year? Grains of sand. He
could wait. Inshalla!

CHAPTER VIII.
The Purloined Cable.

George, having made his bargain
with conscience relative to the Yhior-
des rug, slept the sleep of the untrou-
bled, of the just, Of the man who had
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-

had turned In at four; at six he was
strolling about the deserted lounging-
room, watching the entrances. 1t is
inconceivable how easily mail may be
purloined 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 ko-
tel. The porter had no suspicion that
a bold theft was being committed un-
der his very eyes. Moreover, circum'
stances prevented his ever learning
of it. Ryanne stuffed the spoils into
pocket.

"Yes, sir" replied the porter, as he
began to sort the rest of the mail
not forgetting to peruse the postals

Six Attempted Burglaries.
Police circles and business men gen.

baton yesterday by the discovery Of six
attempted burglaries within the business
and residence districts. The work, which
was done evidently by experts, occurred
some time between midnight and early
Saturday morning.
So far nothing Of value has been taken
by the burglars. Apparently the men
were after money. The places entered
were the Home Furniture comp ~.,y, where
the safe was broken into. An inner door
protected the contents. Pete Peterson's
candy store across the street from the
Home Furniture company store at Twen-

thieves obtaining $50 out of the cash

THANKS FOR BOOSTING
THE GLASS BUSINESS

A letter from Frank W. Judson to Vic
tor Rosewater expresses thanks for con-
vention courtesies, and compliments on
the handling of the situation as presid-
ing officer, incidentally including this
cutting from one of the Chicago news
papers:
There was a resounding crash In the
lobby Of the Congress hotel. When the
noise subsided it was discovered that a
plate glass mirror, 6x10 feet, at the
north end Of Peacock alley, had been
broken.
Explanations were numerous. One was
offered by the porter who gathered the
pieces in a basket.
THAT Mr.. Rosewater who runs the
steam roller was walking right toward
that mirror and 1t just collapsed for no
account than fright" he said.
AS postscript Mr.. Judson adds, II
assure you that our Chicago branch will
appreciate your work toward increasing
the glass business"
