The Purlolned Gable.


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 a 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 Longing
room, watching the entrances. 1t is
~inconceivable how easily mail may be
purloined In a 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 deity, while the porter
looked on, the adventurer al through
the bulk. He found three letters and
a cable, the latter having been re
ceived by Georges bankers the day
before and mailed directly to the no
tel. The porter had no suspicion that
a bold theft was being committed I'm
der his very eyes. Moreover, clrcum
stances prevented his ever learning
of 1t. Ryanne stuffed the spells into
a pocket.

To sleep like that! He shrugged,
threw off his coat, swept the cover
from the stand, found a 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 RAJ 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 a day,
a week, a year? Grains of sand. He
could wait. Inshalla!
