Bourdier is very clever, and, I'll send
for him." Fadejah's great eyes
seemed full of fear as she looked at
him. She made no reply, but seemed
to shrink within herself.
Jacques was alarmed at this
change in her. Her kind eyes were
full of pity. He stayed only few
minutes.
"Good-by madame" he said,
pressing her slim hand in his strong
palm. "I am genuinely sorry to see
you so unwell. | hope the next time

He had had contract drawn up
by lawyer which prevented Veil
gay from touching his capital once

"Your word is sufficient" The
commission agent was not anxious
to receive letter to which he would
have to reply. When Velizay had
gone he sat for long time gazing
into space. He was convinced that
the man whom he had taken for a
simpleton had some hidden motive
in suggesting this partnership.
