again at his bonds. but presently lay
still The pain in his side hurt keen
ly, and he wasn't sure that the rib
was whole. What time had passed
since hts entrance TO the English Bar
was beyond his reckoning, but he
knew that II was yet in the dark Of
night, as no light whatever penetrated
the cloth over his eyes. That he was
somewhere outside the city he was
assured by the tang OF the winter
wind. He heard low voices-Arabic;
and while he possessed a smattering
Of the tongue, his head ached too
sharply for him to sense a word.
Later, a camel coughed. Camels? And
where were they taking him upon a
camel? Bagdad? Impossible: there
were too many white men following
the known camel-ways. He groaned a
little, but the sound did not reach the
ears of his captors. To ride a camel
under ordinary conditions was a pain
full affair: but to straddle the ungailly
brute, dressed as he was, in a swal-
low-tail and paper-thin pumps, did not
promote any pleasurable thoughts

she swung her red lantern under his
very nose? Well, she hoped he was
satisfied. His reply to this brief jere-
miad was that if ever he got his hands
upon the rug again. he would hang
on till the crack of doom, and con-
science herself could go hang. Mere
perverseness, probably. And where

He felt himself being lifted to his

thrown off. His feet stung under the

as life began to spread vigor once

in time the upper turn Of the steel
chafed his insteps. He eased himself

in his side, produced by the unvarying
dog.trot, he must have fallen. He
was miserable. yet defiant; tears Of
anger and pain filled his eyes and
burned down his cheeks in spite Of
the cloth.
And he, poor fool. had always been
longing for an adventure, a taste OF
life outside the peaceful harbor where
in he had sailed his cat-boat! Well.
