He took her by the hand and led
her to the tent TRY" he said Then
he did something he had never done
before to any woman save his mother.
He kissed her hand, turned quickly,
and went over to his blanket. She
remained motionless before the tent
The hand fascinated her. From the
hand her gaze travelled to the man
settling himself comfortably under his
blanket. Pity, pity! that
was ever to be her portion; pity!
In Damascus the trio presented
themselves at the one decent hotel

the manager, it is doubtful if he would
have accepted them as guests; for a
more suspicious-looking trio he had

and knowing something of the integ-

surrendered. And when George pre-
scented his letter of credit at the I'm
perial Ottoman Bank, again 1t was
Ackermann who vouched for him. 1t
had been agreed to say nothing Of the
character of their adventure. None
of them wanted to be followed by GU
rious eyes.
With handful of British gold in his
pocket, George faced the future hope
fully He took his companions, in
and about town, hunting the shops for
clothing, which after various difficult
ties they succeeded in finding. 1t was
ill-ftting and cheap, but it would serve

first time in days Ryanne's laughter
had a bit of the erstwhile rollicking
tone
The dinner was an event. No deli
cacy (mostly canned) was overlooked.
The manager, as he heard the gum
cas- jingle in Georges pocket, was
filed with shame; not over his origi-
nal doubts, but relative to his lack
of perception The tourists who sat
at the other tables were scandalized

when they retired to their native back
porches, they retold with reverend
ing horror Of having witnessed such
a scene and having heard such laugh

Even Fortune laughed, though Ry-
anne's ear, keenest then, detected the
vague note of hysteria. If the meat
was tough, the potatoes greasy, the
vegetables favorless, the wine fat,
none of them appeared to be aware
Of 1t. If Ackermann could talk he
could also eat; and the clatter Of
forks and knives was the theme rath-
er than the variation to the symphony.

a pocket of his new coat he pulled
out a glove. 1t was gray and small
and much wrinkled. From time to
time he drew it through his fingers,
staring the while at the tawdry trim
kets in the shop-window. Finally he
looked down at the token. He became
very still. A moment passed; then
he flung the glove into the gutter, and
proceeded to his own hotel. He left

CHAPTER XIX.
Fortune Decides.

OFtun6 OcClQeS.
George and Fortune were seated at
breakfast It was early morning. At
ten they were to depart for Jaffa, to
take the tubby French packet there to
Alexandria. They could just about
make it, and any delay meant week
or ten days longer upon this ragged
and inhospitable coast.
"Ryanne has probably oversight
After breakfast III go and rout him
out The one thing that really tickles
me- George continued, as he pared
the tough rind from the skinny bacon,
sis, we shan't have any luggage.
Think of the blessing of travelling
without a trunk or valise or a
steamer-roll!"
Without even a comb or hair
brush!"
It's great fun" George broke his
toast
And Fortune wondered how she
could tell him. She was without any
toilet articles. She hadn't even a
toothbrush; and it was quite out of
the question for her to bother him
about trifes, much as she needed
them. She would have to live in the
clothes she wore, and trust that the
ships stewardess might help her out
in the absolute necessities.
Here the head-waiter brought
George a letter The address was
enough for George No one but Ry-
anne could have written it. Without
excusing himself he ripped off the
envelope and read the contents For
tune could not resist watching him,

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Man Who Didn't Care.


1t was the first Of February when
Ackermann's caravan drew into the
ancient city of Damascus. That part
OF the caravan deserted by Mahomed
put out for Cairo Immediately they
struck the regular camel-way. For
tune. George and Ryanne were in a
pitiable condition, heart and body
weary, in rage and tatters. George,
now that the haven was assured,
dropped his forced buoyancy, his pratt
Gle, his jests. He had done all NOR
tai man could to keep up the spirits
of his counfortunates; and he saw
that, most of the time, he had wasted
his talents. Ryanne, sullen and mo-
rose, often told him to Shut up;'
which wasn't exhilarating And For
tune viewed his attempts without
sensing them and frequently looked at
him without seeing him. Now, all this
was not particularly comforting to the
man who loved her and was doing
what he could to tighten the dreari-
ness of the journey He made allow
snces, however; besides suffering I'M
usual privations, Fortune had had a
frightful mental shock. A girl of her
depth of character could not be ex-
'pected to rise Immediately 10 the old
level. Sometimes. while gathered
about the evening fire, he would look
up to find her sad eyes staring at him.
and 1t mattered not if he stared in re-
turn; kind Of clairvoyance blurred
visibilities, for she was generally look
ing into her garden at Mentone and
wondering when this horrible dream
would pass. Subjects for converse
ton were exhausted in no time Dig
as he might, George could find moth
ing new; and often he recounted the
same tale twice of an evening. Sar-
aonic laughter from Ryanne.
Alderman had given them up as
hopeless. He was a strong, vain, dom
tneering man, kindly at heart, how.
ever, but impatient. When he told a
story, he demanded the attention Of
all; so, when Ryanne yawned before
bis eyes, and George drew pictures In
the sand, and the girl fell asleep with
her head upon her knees, he drew
OF abruptly and left them to their
own devices. he had crossed and re-
crossed the silences so often that he
was no longer capable of judging &C
curately another mans mental PRO
cesses. That they had had a strange
and numbing experience he readily
understood; but now that they were
out of duress and headed for the
coast, he saw no reason why they
should not act like human beings
They still put UP the small tent for
Fortune, but the rest OF them slept
npon the sand, under the stars. Once.
George awoke as the dawn was gid
ing the east. Silhouetted against the
sky he saw Fortune. She was stand
ing straight. her hands pressed at her
sides, her head tilted back-a tense
attitude. He did not know II. but
shA was asking God why these things
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1913-01-29

was sure that behind this apparent
liveliness lay the pitiful desperation
of the helpless. He had not spoken
again about old Mortimer. He would
wait till after he had sent q long
cable. Then he would speak and
show her the answer, of which he
had not particle of doubt. As mat
tiers now stood. he rould not tell her
that he loved her; his quixotic sense
of chivalry was too strong to permit
this step, urge as his heart might
upon it, She might misinterpret his
love as born of pity. and that would
be the end OF everything. He was con-
fident now that Ryanne meant moth
ing TO her. Her lack of enthusiasm,
whenever Ryanne spoke to her in
these days; the peculiar horizontally
of her lips and brows, whenever Ry-
anne offered a trif1ing courtesy-all
pointed to distrust. George felt a
guilty gladness. After all, why
shouldn't she distrust Ryanne?
