portrait for any gallery given over to
rogues. And he hadn't worried much
over the moral problem confronting
him, that the way Of the transgressor
Is hard. 1t was only when love rent
the veil Of his faulty that he saw
himself as he really was.
Love! He gazed ahead at Fortune
under the MAMMAL That a guileless
young girl as she was should enchain
him! That the sight Of her should
always send longing into his soul
to go back and begin over! His jaws
hardened. Why not? Why not try
to recover some Of the crumbs Of the
fine things he had thrown away? At
least enough to permit him to go
again among his fellows without con-
stantly looking behind to note II he
were followed? BY the Lord Harry!
once he was out Of this web Of his
own weaving, he would live straight;
he swore that every dollar hereafter
put In his pocket should be an honest
ore. Fortune could never be his wife.
He came to this fact without any
roundabout or devious byways. In the
first place, he knew he had not
touched her heart; she had been friend
ly; and now even her friendship hung
by thread. All right. The love he
bore her was going to be his salvation
just the same; and at this moment
he was deadly in earnest.
1t was after nine when they were
ferried across the two canals, the
fresh-water and the salt, several miles
below Serapeum. The three weary
captives saw great liner slip past
slowly and majestically upon its way
to the Far East. She radiated with
light and cheer and comfort; and all
could hear family the pulsations of
her engines. So near and yet so far;
a cup Of water to Tantalus! At mid
night they made camp. There were
no palms this time; simply we'll in
the center Of tumble OF huge boul-
ders. The tents were pitched to the
southwest, for now the wind blew, bit

and fire was welcome thing. This
was Arabia; Africa had been left be-
hind. Here they awaited the return

his lights, the Arab was only paying
coin for coin. But for the girl, Ry-
anne would have accepted the situa-
tion with a shrug, to await that mo-
ment when Mahomed, eased by the
sense Of security, would naturally re-
lax vigilance. The presence Of For
tune changed the whole face Of the
affair Mahomed could have his eyes
and heart If he would but spare her
He must be patient; he must accept
insults, even physical violence, but
some day he and Mahomed would play
the final round.
His past, his foolish, futile past: all
the follies, all the petty crimes, all
the low disslpations in which he had
indulged, seemed trooping about his
camel, mocklng and gibbering at him.
Why hadn't he lived clean like Jones
there? Why hadn't he fought temp
tation as he had fought men? Envi-
ronment was no excuse; bringing-up
offered no palliation; he had gone
wrong simply because his inclinations
had been wrong. On the other hand,
no one had ever tried to help him
back to a decent living. His mother
had died during his childhood, and
her influence had left no impression.
His father had been a money-maker.
consumed by the pleasure Of building
up pyramids Of gold. He had never
reasoned with his youngest-born; he
had paid his bills without protest or
reproach; it was so much a month to
be written down in the expense ac-
count. And the first-born had been
his natural enemy since the days Of
the nursery. Still, he could not acuuit
himself; his own arraignment was as
keen as any Judge could have made.
Strong as he was physically, brilliant
as he was mentally, there was a NOR
tai weakness In his blood; and search
as he might the history of his ances-
tors, their lives shed no light upon
his own.
In stating that his face had been
granted that dubious honor and con-
cern Of the perpetrators of the rogues'
gallery, he had merely given rein to
seizure Of soul-bitterness. But there
was truth enough in the statement

It was his day for white meat, SO his charge was di rected at the then congressman from New York, though of course, the bear did not know the identity of the person he was about to eat. If it had, maybe the knowledge would have altered it's plans. In that case this story would not have been told. Anyway, it charged. The Indians ran, but the New York congressman stood still He did not run because he had forgotten how, he said. All the while this bear was charging, and it wasn't far away to begin, SO this action was shorter than it seems when you read about it. The bear was almost on Gov.
