He would have to make the best OF
foolish move; for the girl would
eventually prove an encumbrance. At
any rate. he would wiring one white

breast. That her health might be ru-

of breaking Ryanne. He was too old
to start life anew; at least, too old
to stir ambition. He had welded au-

confess to the Pasha that his careless
ness had lost him the rug. would re-
suit either in death or banishment;
and so far as he was concerned he
had no choice, the one was as bad as
the other. So, if the young fool who
had bought the rug Of Ryanne told
the truth when he declared that 1t
had been stolen again, then Ryanne
knew where 1t was; and he could be
made to tell he, Mahomed, would at
tend to that. And when Ryanne con-
fessed the girl and the other would
be conveyed to the nearest telegraph

and he was an admirable strateglst
In his way. Revenge upon Ryanne for
the dishonor and humiliation, and the
return Of the rug; there was nothing
more beyond that.
Before George had the opportunity
of speaking to Fortune, he was raised
from the sand and bodily lifted upon
his camel; and by way of passing
pleasantly, his hat was jammed down
over his eyes. He swore as he pulled
up the brim. Swearing was another
accomplishment added to the list Of
transformations. He had a deal to
learn yet, but in his present mood he
was likely to proceed famously. He
readjusted the hat in time to see Ry-

over, he never forgot to keep his chin |
up and his waist-line down. They put |
him into the pack-basket because
there was no alternative, being as he |
was incapable of sitting upon CAM

Next, George saw Fortune, unre-
sisting, placed upon the camel, under
canopy. At least, she would know a |
little comfort against the days long |

called out bravely to her to be Of |

Court that he be allowed 10 transfer tho

stone, from one plot 10 another In Wood
lawn Cemetery, il is all but settled that
he may do so. Justice Philbin denied his
petition last July on the ground that n
man who remarries after the death OF his
wife ceases to bear her any relation, but
he announced his willingness to reverse
his decision yesterday, awaiting only some
minor suggestions Of counsel before sign
ing the papers
Mr. Stone. who is seventy-hve years
old. applied for the permission on the
ground that he needed the sl.700 which
he could get for the lot in which his first
wife was buried. The dead woman's sis
ter. Mrs Adelaide Moore. OF No 13l West
SD street. objected 10 the removal. saying
that Stone intended TO take the body from
the suitable lot. which Woodlawn Gene
terry had been paid $3.50 to keep In per-
peptual repair, and place IL in single
grave In a less desirable position She
asserted also that the dead woman left
81 0, 900 to her husband. and that he re-
ceived an income OF 500 a month, be-
sides 325 monthly rent from part Of
his house.
After much debating the Justice came
10 the conclusion that stone should be
allowed to remove the body. provided he
bought small individual lot in which to
rebury It and erected a suitable monu-
ment, costing not less than $50.
