 'fonder is a rug, a prayer-rug, aa holy to the Moslem as the idols eye Is to the Hindu, as the Bible is to the Christian. For hundreds of years 1t never saw the outside of the Sultan's palace. One day the late, the recently late, Abdul the Unspeakable Turk gave it to the Pasha of Bagdad Whenever this rug makes its appear. ance in Holy Mecca, it is worshiped and none but Sultan or a Sultan's tavorite may kneel upon it.

 George leaned forward from his chair, a gentle terror in his heart The Yhiordes? By love! is that the Yhiordes?"
 Admiration kindled in Ryanne's eyes. To have hit the bull's-eye with so free and quick an aim was ample proof that Percival Algernon had not boasted when he said that he knew something about rugs.
 You've guessed it."
 How did you come by it?" George demanded exeitedly.
 Why do you ask that?"
 Man, ten-thousand pounds could not purchase that rug, that bit of car. pet. Collectors from every port have been after it in vain. And you mean to tell me that it lies there, wrapped in butchers paper?"
 "Right-O!"

before and after that moment arrives when they want something, desperate ly; and George was no more saintly than his kind. And how deep Ryanne and his confederates had delved into human nature, how well they could read and judge it, was made manifest in this moment of Georges moral Ge. lapse.
 Bagdad, the jinns, Sinbad, the Thou sand and One Nights, Alibaba and the Forty Thieves; George was transport ed mentally to that magic city, stand ing between the Tigris and the Flu. pirates, in all its white glory of a thousand years gone. Ryanne the room and it's furnishings, all had van- ished, all save the exquisite fabric pat. termed out of wool and cotton and knotted with that mingling love and skill and patience the world knows no more. He let his hand stray over it. How many knees had pressed it's thick yet pliant substance? How many strange scenes had it mutely wit messed, scenes of beauty, of terror? It shone under the light like the hide of healthy hound.
 The nerves of a smoker are general ly made apparent by the rapidity of his calculations. These two, iii the several minutes, had filled the room with a thick, blue haze; and through this the elder man eyed the younger. The sign of the wolf gleamed in his eyes, but without animosity, modified as it was by the half-frlendly, half cynical smile.
 'l'll risk it." said George finally, having stepped off the magical carpet, as it were. q cant give you a thou sand pounds tonight. l can give you three hundred, and the balance tomor, row, between ten anG eleven, at Cook S."
 That will be agreeable 10 me"
 George passed over all the available cash he had, rolled up the treasure and tucked it under his arm. That some where in the world was a true be- liever, wailing and beating his breast and calling down from Allah curses upon the giaour, the dog of an infdel, who had done this thing, disturbed George not in the least,
 "I say" as he opened the door, you must tell me all about the adventure It must have been a thriller"
 "It was," replied Ryanne. "The story will keep. Later. if you care to hear it."
 "Of course" added George, moved by discretionary thought, this trans action is just between you and me"
 You may lay odds on that" heart fly. Well, good night. See you at Cooks in the morning"
 Good night" George passed down the corridor to the adjoining room.
 And now, bang! goes Pandora's box.

Germany Desires Olympic Honors.

New York, March 27.-That the United States will have more difli- culty in winning the Olympic games in 1916 than at any previous Olympi- ad is evident from the reports which are constantly coming from various European capitals. The American victories at London in 1903 slimu- lated intePest in Olympic contests throughout Sweden and Finland, and to a certain extent aroused Ger many, Austria, France and other European countries to action. The Swedes, however, were the ones who profited most on what they learned of American methods.
 The latest country which has been aroused to action is Germany, and since the Germans are to manage the 1916 meet in Berlin, they are making their preparations in ac- cordance with scientific plans. It is their inteHtion to SCOUT the German empire for raw athletic material and then to develop it so that by 1916 the German nation will at least make as keen a struggle for first honors as did Sweden last year.
 What the Germans plan to do is to secure an American trainer with in the next year or two. A number of Americans already have made application. but no definite action has been taken
