heard his muttered exclamation, then saw
the soldier fetch the meshal, the glare Of
which was thrown upon the pillow.
Suddenly a cry went up to heaven, such
a cry of anguish as Alan had never heard
before. a cry that was taken up, before
Won Hengel had the opportunity to prevent
it, by all those nearest, and spread like
lightning down its radii to the outskirts
of the crowd. He did not understand the
words that were uttered but he knew their
meaning.
THE Kaba Stone is gone! Gone! A
false stone has been put in its place. Oh,
woe unto US. May Allah the Compassion
ate and Merciful look softly upon us in
our anguish Allah! Allah"
Ali Agha was like a man bereft of his
senses and cried out continuously, his arms
upraised. Alan saw Won Hengel try to
restrain him, first by command, then by
threat, and at last by persuasion. Then
with his own arms he thrust the excited
crowd back away from the miserable
creature and talked pleadingly with him.
Alan knew what Won Hengel's arguments
would be. Silence, secrecy, the carrying
out of the plan at all costs, for anything
else meant ruin to his own intrigue. If
not the real stone. this stone must do.
Alan read Won Hengers meaning in the
attitudes of the two men, and the upraised
arms of the Sheykhs commanding silence.
u was a tremendous moment for those
who understood its meaning.
But Ali Agha was man Of force and
character He had come upon this Pill
grimage because Allah had demanded il
of him. because Allah had told him the
Black Stone that the Sheykh Omar Hall
had brought was the genuine Kaba Stone
stolen from Mecca many centuries ago.
And now it was lost. A substitute such as
this! By the blessed name of the Prophet,
he would not, Death were better here and
now than this deception. And so he walled,
shrieked and cried for the curse of Allah
upon those who had committed this sac
rilege And the crowd took up his plaint
as if by the mere volume of their voices
they could induce Allah to listen. But
from the high heavens came no sign,
though the arms of Ali Agha shook with
anguish and terror as he plucked at his
beard in the biblical manner, still calling
Vainly upon his Lord.
Alan, having smoothed out to his salts
faction the last grain of sand above the
Stone. rose in a leisurely fashion and
joined the thickest of the throng. Here
until daylight at least he believed himself
The Washington times., 1919-02-23

Alan was trapped. He knew it now. The
slightest movement to escape would be
fatal-to remain, equally so. And still the
eyes that glared at him grew in number,
eyes that showed white all around the pu-
pills, animal eyes-the wild eyes Of beasts
that have not been born to captivity. They
began crowding him little and one lame
fellow prodded him in the short ribs with
a crutch.
"Oh, l say" muttered Alan in spite Of
himself. And then quickly grunted, -Su-
laymani," as Daoud had instructed.
"a tall Sheykh!" Won Hengel cried.
There are not many tall Sheykhs such as
this one" And then. pointing his finger
straight at Alan. commanded loudly, 'In
the name of the Prophet, stand forth, then,
thou tall Sheykh."
The crowd Of pilgrims in front of Alan
fell away as though in fear of a plague,
closed in again, then swayed back.
"Sulaymani," cried Alan hoarsely.
But Ali Agha here suddenly came to life
and rushing forward shrieked some unin-
telligible question-in the Afghan vernacu-
lar it might have been, for all Alan knew.
"Sulaymani," cried Alan again.
IAN impostor! An unbeliever! A
Christiani"
The words were taken up by the mad
dened throng and fists, claws, neboOts and
pigt is were brandished under Alan's nose.
They were getting too close for comfort,
but Alan stood grinning and muttering his
The Washington times., 1919-02-23

Matched, which might after all prove only
to be an ugly duckling. He fell to blaming
Dawson. It was rather stupid of Dawson
to think that it would make any difference.
What did these .benighted creatures care
what they kissed as long as they kissed
something? Awfly stupid! Now If Daw-
son had only thought of some way to get
those papers-the documents of attestation
that went with the blooming rock. &.
Alan Jessup Strengthened and stared
toward the scene of religious activity.
Ali Agha had come down from the
rock pulpit, for the line of Pilgrims s
was nearly ended. Alan saw him
bend over the pillow and stone,
The Washington times., 1919-02-23

Alan thrust with his shoulders right and
left until he found room to use his arms
and then he let them out like fails. A
man went down-another, and he had more
room-another. He had almost drawn his
automatic when the crowd closed in again,
and smothered him by sheer weight of
numbers and he fell.
But Won Hengel sprang down from the
rock and fought his way into the mass.
s. Dogs" he cried, '1et him up. Would
you destroy the only clue to the Kaba
Stone? Let be, l say-in the name of
Allah!"
And seizing the neboot of the man near
est him, he set about him, belaboring the
shoulders of the combatants, dragging
them off the struggling Jessup, whom he
finally reached. bruised and bloody but
grinning cheerfully.
Christian! Unbeliever!" cried the
wolves, and tried to close in again, until
Won Hepgel drew his automatic and swore
that he would kill the first dog who touched
the prisoner And so at last, cowed but
still furious, the CrOWQ nelu DdCk ulllll luo
Nizam came with their bayOnets fixed and
held the crowd at bay.
Alan shrugged and mechanically busted
at what would ordinarily have been the
knees of immaculate trousers, and followed
Won Hengel to the rock where the speakers
had stood.
Conrad Won Hengers lips curled trium-
phantly as he disarmed him. Clever,
Alan" he muttered in English, but you've
ventured once too often"
There was no reply needed so Alan made
none Some of the soldiers brought thongs
and they bound him hand and foot and laid
him like mummy upon the rocks. Mean
while Ali Agha, whose eyeballs still shone
white in the tOrchlight, approached and
kicked the prisoner in the ribs, while the
crowd howled with fury. But Won Hengel
led Ali Agha aside and held up a stately
arm for attention.
Patience, my brothers!" he called.
Allah. whose greatness is over the earth
and heavens, has listened to our prayers
with compassion, and delivered into our
hands the unbeliever who has done this
sacrilege. 1t is a miracle"

ION HENGEL'S look was shrewd and
" before he spoke he scanned the des-
ert keenIy on all sides. The discoV-
cry of Alan Jessup here had set new
trains of thought hurrying through his
agile brain. Who had come to Arabia with
Alan Jessup? What further forces were
