l was going officeward one day In q
very overcrowded trolley car. 1t was
pouring outside and my gloves chung

OF hair was tickling my nose and my
hands were too full of dripping UNI
brella and swaying strap to brush it
away. ! could feel that my forehead
was wrinkled up, and my mouth
drawn down. l thought of all the I'M
pleasant things that had ever hap
pened to me, and, glazing at the unre-
lenting sky, I wondered why It had
to rain SO hard. Then, looking along
the car, / saw another girl hanging to
a strap. She was ever so much wetter
than I. The dampness ooZed out of
crack In her worn shoe; the bare
hands that gripped her umbrella and
strap looked cramped and tired, and
two straggly locks of hair tickled her
rather small, inoffensive nose. But as
looked at her and pitied her, she
glanced up and caught my eye, and
she smiled at me! Then, somehow,
the rain drops looked very bright and
tewel-like, and the gray of the sky
seemed warmer and more friendly. /
forgot that my feet were wet. and /
smiled back. All that day, through
the work and hurry of the hours, 1

ridors and rooms, each of which was
concealed by a heavy curtain, until
they arrived at a small cell, plainly
furnished in the European fashion.
Paul spent the rest of the day there
and the night that came after, not
tasting the food which was brought to
him for fear of poison. He was quite
sure now that the Honeycomb of
Paradise had resolved upon his death
in order to serve France and to re-
tain her influence over the Sultan.
And he worked his brains all night,
vainly devising some means Of escape
from his dilemma.
When the first shafts Of the rising
sun struck through his window his
captors unlocked the door and Sshered
him into a closed carriage, drawn by
two Arab stations, which waited out.
side in the courtyard. One Of the
men entered with him; the blinds
were drawn across the carriage win
dows, and they drove for an inter
minable period. When at last the
carriage halted and Paul descended
he was almost blinded by the blaze OF
fierce, tropical sunlight which beat
upon him, so that for some time he
could hardly grasp his relationship to
the outside world.
He was in the palace no longer but
in the great market-place Of the city
of Fee. He stood before sort OF

Moorish Sultan. close beside him
Mademoiselle Guepin, resting upon q
pile of cushions, while ranged around
him were his councillors and body

form of a large circle, completely
surrounding the market place, were
thousands of Moors, and they were
all uttering exultant cries and point
ing at the prisoner. And in the cen
ter of the court, writhing blur Of

added, "Mahmud is very angry about

behind her. Paul tried it. 1t was

At that moment, in the clutches of
his enemy, who had evidently obtain

trapped in the gin into which he had
so foolishly stepped, Paul would have
given much to have the freedom of

here by any of the hundred diverse
tortures of the cruel Moorish ruler
without his fate becoming known to
anyone outside. And he did not
doubt that Mademoiselle Guepin
would spare no effort to accomplish
her own purposes.
After waiting for half an hour in
dire perplexity he began to examine
his surroundings.
There was large hall adjoining
the room in which he sat, and Paul
strolled into 1t. 1t was a small, mar

1t was in the guise of concession

were In possession Of the citadel, the
city was French-but Morocco was

France was merely his majesty's ally
