At that moment, in the clutches of

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 a large hall adjoining
the room in which he sat, and Paul
strolled into it. 1t was a small, mar

Paul was greatly impressed by the

Here was a problem requiring all the
strength Of his courage and the re-

concealed by 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 ushered
him into closed carriage, drawn by
two Arab stations, which waited out

were drawn across the carriage win

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
