and In preparing the meals which they ate
squatted upon the floor around small sill
yer tray upon a tabourette.
II was not until after, the evening meal
that the visit of the Sheykh was an
nounced. There was a clapping of hands
downstairs in the mandara, which seemed
TO be the signal for rather elaborate femi-
nine preparations, Amneh putting on her
kurs and safa and slipping into a rather
gorgeous crimson saltah or jacket and glib
beh Of purple velvet. and disposed herself
upon deewan in the sadr or upper end
OF the room to await the arrival of her
lord. Constance, herself somewhat uncer.
tain as to her own status in this house
hold, found the opportunity to note the ex-
treme care with which the fayorite put on
her apparel and keenly watched the con-
duct Of both women as the sheykh ap-
peared. He stood at The entrance of the
kaah, removing his slippers and pronounc-
ing the words which Constance had al
ready learned, and the women gave appro-
pirate reply, Zeyneb softly, seizing his
right hand and raising it to her forehead
But even as she did so his gaze passed to
Amneh beyond her. who had half risen
and was showing her white teeth in a
smile.
-On you be peace, and the mercy of God
and His blessings" she murmured.
Sheykh Hassan bowed sedately to Con-
stance, but passed her by and wen: at once
to Amneh's side. seating himself in the
centre Of the deewan, thus giving her the
place Of honor at his right. They con-
versed for a few moments in Arabic. And
then the Sheykh addressed the American
girl in English.
I hope, madame, that you have been
well cared for"
Il have nothing to complain Of" she
said, steadily, "bu: the loss of my liberty"

covered it l have no means of learning,
for Alan"-he paused and smiled-"Alan
has never been one to set the world on
fire."
1T is always a mistake to underesti-
mate" she said dryly.
Allan has surprised me-" he went on
Il may say he has delighted me, Also be-
cause a triumph won over intelligence is
the only sort worth while

Il am, or l should not be here But 1t

be said in a choked voice. And she real
lied that she had made a mistake. No
Prussian can endure ridicule. She re-
turned his sombre look with a smile.
Il am afraid don't understand" she re-
piled.
Then listen," he said, brutally, now thor
oughly angry. We'll put pretences aside

you Americans set such store. will speak
the truth. You are securely imprisoned in
this house-as far from rescue by the
British authorities as though I had taken

Il am very sorry" he replied, gravely.
That is a matter over which at present
have no control. The Sheykh Omar, who
is my guest, will tell you that this is so.''
"Sheykh Omar, as you call him." said
Constance, with more contempt than wis
dom, has no control over me-"
That is as may be-" said Hassan oracu-
larly. 1T is matter which only concerns
osou and him. He awaits you in the guest
room, yonder beyond the stair
He pointed with his long arm in the
direction beyond the hall and then clapped
his hands, a signal answered at once by
the Khadeegeh, to whom he spoke a SEN
tence.
Constance glanced at Amneh. who
seemed to understand what had passed.
and in her eyes Constance read that she
must obey. Indeed, .tfere seemed nothing
else to do. and so she followed the slave
out of the harem past a heavy hanging
and down short passage to q door where
the girl, her face now yelled with the hem
of her robe, stood aside and gestured to
Constance to go in.
Won Hengel rose from the deewan as
she entered and came forward briskly.
"Fraulein," he muttered, you must know
that am sorry"
Her lip curled contemp:uously, but she
took the seat he indicated, and sat for a
moment silent, partly in fear and partly
in anger, determined at least that she
would first hear what he had to say to her
1T is most unfortunate" he went on,
that Alan Jessup SHOULD have been so i'm
prudent as to risk your precious life in
this mad venture. AS to myself, you must
already be aware of the deep esteem in
which / hold you. There were many
things that l learned in America, one of
them the real glory of its womanhood."
ITO what end is this conversation, Cap
tain Won Hengel?" she broke in abruptly.

your feelings or your comfort are the out

My rescue by Northby Pasha?" she
suggested
She scored one there and Won Hengel
smiled
81 am afraid that Northby Pasha would
never have found you" he said calmly.
"The Khatib is a fanatic, the walls of the
Hasaneyn are silent. You must give me
credit for an act of compassion But |
will admit motive of seltinterest, too"
Naturally"
He paused a moment before he went on.

it will be lost in the Arabian desert When

and stood before her, his outfiung arms

girl rose from her elbow and shot one
short shrill sentence at the woman, which
seemed effectually to subdue her. And
after a few sullen sentences in reply she
followed the direction of Amneh's pointing
finger and retired to the other end of the
Kaah and her embroidery frame.
Amneh watched her a moment through
relentless half-closed eyes until the wo-
man was seated, and then turned to Con-
stance.
"ElIe est 81 bete," she muttered
Nothing could have better conveyed the
power Of this new favorite than the com.
plete air Of confidence with which Amneh
resumed their conversation.
And she will not speak,? asked Con-
stance anxiously.
'Tf she does, Hassan Isar shall divorce
her." she replied cruelty.
This was how the worm had turned. She
used the little power that had been given
her upon the poor creature she had dis
placed. Constance was beginning to won
der how she could use this power to her
own advantage.
And it Is the one that is called the
Sheykh Omar Khalil who is Conrad Won
Hengel?" she asked of Constance quietly.
"You have seen him?"
Through the window screen into the
mandara from the room beyond. And he
is German, you say?"
"A captain In the Prussian army
"a German" said Amneh. And then, as
though thinking aloud, "It is they who by
a word could have. prevented, the slaughter
of my people," she murmured softly.
But In the very softness of her speech
was a new accent, as though it was the
voice of some hidden vestige of her dead
soul that spoke. And her dark eyes, as
she gazed past Constance, seemed sud-
denly to blaze with the reflection of a,
hidden fire. Constance did not reply. for
very significant to them both.
After a while Amneh turned to Con-
stance with a smile.
Tell me more of this valiant American,
Monsieur Alan. You say he is very rich"
she asked.
