Chapter Of Syrian Life.

In Syria a chaperon is the law of
social intercourse between the young
folks. At the wedding ceremony the
bride appears in the center of bril-
liantly Illuminated room. On all sides
are attendants carrying large candles
richly painted and decorated. AS she
takes her chair, what money she pos
sesses of gold and silver is placed on
her head.
The gift of the bridegroom is 40
dresses, and, as the wedding celebra-
tions last two weeks, the bride has a
chance to display her gowns, making
numerous changes daily for the de-
lightful edification of her friends.
AS a rule, these dresses last life
time, and are usually handed down
from one generation to another, and.
unless destroyed otherwise than by
wear, they are everlasting.

Not more than twenty seconds could
have elapsed before Barcus recovered
from the shock of the motors treach-
cry sufficiently to reverse the wheel,
throttle down the carburetor and jump
out of the engine-pit.
But in that small space of time the
lifeboat and Alan Law had parted COM
pany as definitely as though one of
them had been levitated bodily to the
far side of the earth.
1t could not have been more than
a minute after the accident before
Barcus was guiding the boat over
what, going on his sense of location
and judgment of distance, he could
have sworn was the precise spot
where Alan had disappeared, but with

CHAPTER XIV.
The Masked Voice.

For a matter OF twelve hours the
able as the dominion Of evil, had
wrapped the world in an embrace as
foul and noxious as the coils Of some
great, gray, Shiny serpent
Through It's sluggish folds the pom
derous. power-impelled lifeboat crept
at snail's pace, its stem parting and
rolling back from either flank heavy
hearted sea of gray.
In the bows young woman rested
in a state of semi-exhaustion, her eyes
closed, he head pillowed on a cork
belt life-preserver, her sodden gar
ments modelled closely to the slender
body that was ever and again shaken
from head to feet with the strength
Of long, shuddering respiration.
Seated on the nearest thwart, Alan
Law, chin in hand, watched over the
rest of this woman whom he loved
with a grimly hopeless solicitude. He
was in no happier case than she, so
far as physical comfort went-he was
in worse, since he might not rest.
Premonition of misfortune darkened
his heart with its lmpenetrable
shadow.
In the stern Tom Barcus presided
morosely over the steering gear; and
Law was no more jealously heedful OF
his sweetheart than Barcus of the
heavy-duty motor that chugged away
so purposefully at its business of driV-
ing the boat heaven-knew-where.
Thus for hours on end it had been
with these three-ever the boat plowed
steadily onward; ever the fog yielded
grudgingly to the thrust Of the stem
and ever closed in again astern; ever
their destination remained a riddle
as inscrutable as the course they held.
Lacking at once a compass, all no.
Iion whatsoever of the suns bearings,
and any immediate hope of the fog
lifting or chance bringing them either
to land or to rescue by some larger
and less comfortless craft. Barcus
steered mainly through force Of habit

ing that no boat under way should
ever in any conceivable circumstance
be without hand at the helm. 1t had
seemed impossible that 1t could long
escape repetition Of the disaster, but
somehow, 1t always did escape, and
that by a wide margin; never once
had it passed near enough to another
vessel to see 1t.
And now for more than an hour the
silence had been uncannily constant
broken only by the rumble of the mo
tor, the muted lisp of water slipping
down the side, the suck and gurgle o
the wake.
Forebodings no less portentous thar

and let his hands dangle idly between
his knees.
With no way on her, the lifeboat
drifted with current of unknown set
and strength.
What can we do?" Rose implored.
I'VE must do something. We can't
leave him Oh, when l think
of him there, in her hands, could go

"If only knew" Barcus protested;
"but my hands are tied, my wits are
as helpless as my eyes are blind.
There's nothing to go by-except the
bare possibility that the reef she
spoke of may be Norton's. 1t doesn't
seem possible, but we may have made
that much southing. In that case

land, somewhere in the neighborhood
of Katama island, a little, rocky, desc.

The girl wrung her hands. But
how could Judith get there--and with
her men-and ammunition"
Don't ask me. Going on my expe-
rience with the lady, I'd be willing to
bet that she was picked up by the
steamer that ran us down, and pro
ceeded to make prize Of it--or try
to. One things certain-she must
have found or stolen boat from

His accents died away into discon

upwards of an hour.
So slowly the current bore the life
