CHAPTER XIV.
Mahomed Offers Freedom.

mdHOIUSO OuSTS FTSCOCfOs
Fortune had slept, but only after
hours Of watchful terror. The slight
est sound outside the tent sent a
scream into her throat, but she sue
ceeded each time in sitting it. Once
the evil laughter Of hyena came over
her ears, shivering. Alone! She laid
her head upon the wadded saddte-bags
and wept silently, and every sob tore
at her heart. She must keep up the
farce Of being brave when she knew
that she wasn't. The men must not
be discouraged. Her department
would characterize theirs; any sign
Of weakness upon her side would cor
respondingly depress them the more.
She prayed to God to give her the
strength to. hold out. She was afraid
Of Mahomed; she was afraid of his
grim smile, afraid Of his hooking
eyes; she could not sponge out the
scene wherein he had so gratuitously
Kicked Horace in the SIDE. Horacef
No, she did not believe that she would

he had spun and fallen into himself.
Two things she must hide for the
sake Of them all: her fear of Mahnrn-

trickery.
What part in this tragedy had the
Arab assigned her? Her fingers twined
and untwined, and she rocked and
rocked, bit her lips, lay down, sat up
and rocked again. But for the ex-
haustion, but for the insistent call of
nature, she would never have closed
her eyes that night.
And her mother! What would her
mother believe, after the scene that
had taken place between them? What
could she believe, save that her daugh-
ter had fulfilled her threat, and run
away? And upon this not unreason-
able superstition her mother would
make no attempt to find out what had
become Of her. Perhaps she would
be glad, glad to be rid Of her and her
questions. Alone! Well, she had al
ways been alone.
The only ray of sunshine in all was
the presence of Jones. She felt,
subtly, that he would not only stand
between her and Mahoned, but also
between her and Ryanne.
"Hush!" whispered George. Don't

Oh JIDDln or chopped straw in addition
to what they might find by grazing.
Funny brutes, thought George, as he
walked among the kneeling animals:
to go five days without food or water,
to travel continuously from twenty
five to eighty miles the day! Others
were busy with the pack-baskets. A
tent, presumably Mahomed's, was be-
ing erected upon a clayey piece Of
ground in between the palms. No one
entered the huts, even out of curios-
ity; so George was certain that the
desertion had been brought about by
one plague Or another. A smaller
tent was put up later, and he was
grateful at the sight of it. 1t meant
little privacy for the poor girl. Great
God, how helpless he was, how help
less they all were!
An incessant clatter, occasionally
interspersed with laugh, went on.
The Arab, unlike the East Indian, is
not ordinarily surly; and these
seemed to be good-natured enough.
They eyed George without malice.
The war of the night before had been
all in a days work, for which they
had been literally paid. While he had
spent much time in the Orient and
had ridden camels, a real caravan,
prepared for weeks of travel, was a
distinct novelty, and so he viewed all
with interest, knowing perfectly well
that within a few days he would look
upon these activities with dull, hope
less anger. He went back to the
girl and sat down beside her.
"Have you any idea why you are
here?"
mo; unless he saw me in the ba-
zaars with Horace, and thought to
torture him by bringing me along"
Horace! A chill that was not Of the
night ran over his shoulders. So she
called the adventurer by his given
name? And how might her presence
torture Ryanne? George felt weak
in that bitter moment. Ay, how might
not her presence torture him also?
He had never, for the briefest space,
thought of Ryanne and Fortune at the
same time. She spoke, alphabetically
1t was true, as If she had known him
all her life. The wisest thing he could
do was to bring Ryanne to a condition
where he could explain some parts Of
the enigma and be Of some use. Hor-
ace!
I'm going to have another try at
him." he said.
She nodded, but without any par
ticular enthusiasm.
George worked over Ryanne for the
better part of an hour, and finally the
battered man moved He made an eff.

issued from his lips. At the end Of
the hour he opened his eyes and
smiled. It was more like the grin

you don't understand" replied Ry-
anne miserably. :.
81 believe Co." Georges heart
was heavy. This man was in love
with her too.
Ryanne struck the tears from his
eyes and turned aside his head. He
was sick in soul and body. To have
walked blindly into trap like this,
of his own making, too! Fool! What
had possessed him, usually so keen,
to trust the copper-hided devil? All
for the sake of one glass of wine!
With an effort entailing no meager
pain in his side, he.stilled the strang-
ling hiccoughs, swung round and tried
to smile reassuringly at the girl.
"You are better?" she asked.
There was in the tone of that ques-
ton an answer to all his dreams. One
nights work had given him his ticket
to the land Of those weighed and
found wanting. She knew; how much
he did not care; enough to read his
guilt.
1t appeared to George that she was
accepting the situation with philos-
ophy deeper than either his or Ry-
anne's. Not whimper, not a plant,
not a protest so far had she made.
She was Roland in petticoats.

anne. "Ill get my legs in a day or

question:"
"As many as you like"
"How did you get here?"
Don't you know?"
George wasn't certain, but the girls
voice was cold and accusing.

"Yes. Wasn't it the note that you
wrote to me?"
Ryanne took his head in his hands.
YEARLY. 81 wrote you no note, For
tune; have never written you note
of any kind. You do not know my
handwriting from Adams. In Gods
name, why didn't you ask your mother
or your uncle? They would have rec
ognized the forgery at once. Who
gave it to you?"
"Mahomed himself"
Damn him!" Ryanne grew strong
under the passing fit of rage. mo,

"Say no more about it." She be-
lieved him. She really hadn't thought
him capable Of such baseness, though
at the time Of her abduction she had
| been inclined to accuse him. That
he was here, a prisoner like herself,
was conclusive evidence, so far as she
was concerned, of his innocence. But
