CHAPTER xH.-(contlnued.)

The wind blew cold against his
chest, and the fact that he could neil
Their see, nor use his tongue to moist
an his bruised lips, added to the dis
comforts. Back and forth he swayed
and rocked. The pain in his side was
gradually minimi1ed by the torture
bearing upon his ankles, his knees
across his shoulders. Finally, when
In dull despair he was about to give
up and slide off, Indifferent whether
the camels following trampled him or
not. a halt was called. 1t steadied
him. Some one reached up and IN
tied the thong that strangled the life
In his hands. Forward again. This
was q trife better. He could now
ease himself with his hands. No one
interfered with him when he tore OIL
the bandages over his eyes and
mouth. The camels were now urged
to q swifter pace.
Egyptian night, well called, he
thought. He could discern nothing
but phantom-like grey silhouettes that
bobbed up and down after the fashion
Of corks upon water. Before him and
behind him; how many camels made
ND the caravan he could not tell He
could hear the faint slip-slip as the
beasts shufied forward in the fine
boavv sapd They were well out into
the desert, but what desert was as
yet a mystery. He had forgotten to
keep the points Of the compass In his
mind. And to pick out his bearings
by any particular star was to him no
more simple than transladng Chinese.
Far, far away behind he saw lumi-
nous pallor in the sky, the reflected
lights of Cairo. And only few hours
ago he had complained to the head.
waiter because Of the bits Of cork
