Alan walked down the Sharia Moham-

elated over the effect of his proposal upon
the police officer. Whatever happened he
was at least sure that from incredulity
Northby Pasha had progressed to consider
alton, and that there was more than
fighting chance that he would win the
Englishman to his side. But Alans re-
sources did not end with Northby. There
were other agencies in Egypt that he
meant to employ if NOrthby failed him.
For once convinced in his own mind
that his plan-conceived not an hour ago
was not impracticable, Alan surveyed
the prospect with pleasure and purpose
to carry the thing through at any cost.

that if she asked him to recite the Koran

How wonderful she looked this morn

same old Connie, that always gave him the
same old thrill. He caught his breath and
sighed. He had thought that in differ

Payments, he would be able to forget her.
But there she was again-all spirit and
charm, the only girl in the world that he
had ever loved or could again. And the
old pain began gnawing at his heart.
But he would never let her know
never speak of the old relation again. 1t
could only be painful to her and to him.
He would bury his thoughts in the hunt

tender looks. Just friendship. She would
