The Effendi went IN alone. saw nm.
There was nothing for it but to await
Daoud's return. so Alan went below SEND
ing word forward by Dawson that II Miss
Masterson was ready breakfast awaited
her. At this moment Amneh came into
the room and crept demurely into her ac-
customed seat beside him. giving him her
most radiant smile as morning greeting.
He poured her coffee himself with a cryp-
tic air.
'T have a surprise for you, Amneh' ne
said with a smile.
For me, Monsieur Alan"' asked the
girl, with a puzzled look
For you-for me, also-something that
will make us both very contented."
Amneh regarded him gravely.

peared. Alan saw Amneh start back from
the table-staring over his shoulder, her
brows slightly raised in establishment and
unease. Alan turned quickly and rose.
"Ah, good morning, Connie
But she stood for a moment as though
frozen into immobility, the color fading
from her face, as she looked from one to
the other.
4 did not know" she began, and then
paused.
4 forgot to tell you last night. Connie"
said the OblyiOus Alan cheerfully. Am
neh came aboard just before we sailed"
"Oh, yes-Of course" said Constance, re-
gaining her pOise and coming slowly for
ward.
Amneh, too. seemed quite equal to the
occasion, ior after a moment of hesitation
she crossed quickly to Constance and
kissed her
"MademOiselle!" she cried.
"Awfly Jolly. Amneh has been so lonely.
How are your men this morning? Won't
you sit here?"
CheeTfully, and with an air of doing ser
vice to a queen. Alan indicated and then
pushed out her chair. Silently, Constance
sat while the steward and Dawson noise

lucky-so nice of you to volunteer, Connie
Might never have happened if it hadn't
been for that blessed sand bank. And the

And then, at the double strokes of the
bell, as though suddenly recalling herself
to her duty below, she gave Alan her hand
and bade him good night
T-I can't tell you how glad l am
he stammered.
q am glad, too Alan" she repeated
softly.
He led her to the companion and then,
turning. gave orders for her trunk to be
moved below to
He stopped aghast. Comics staterOOm!
Amneh had it! In his delight at seeing
Connie he had. forgotten to mention word
of Amneh. who was curled up sound asleep
below. unaware Of the events that had
happened over her very head. He laughed
and turned back. Connie was a good sport.
She wouldn't mind. So he gave his orders
and went below TO bed.
He was dead tired and slept later than
usually. but the sudden stoppage of the
propelIers awakened him. He dressed
quickly and went on deck, for the TUr-
kama was already at anchor. He sought
the exhausted HOagland on the bridge. to
find that they were few miles north of
Kosseir in the lee of a blight Of land, and
that Daoud had gone ashore half an hour
ago with some armed men in the launch
TO investigate And as Alan showed symp-
toms Of impatienca, Hes merely scouting.
He wore his disguise. He'll keep under
cover and come back and report. It's
Job he could do better than you, sir"
Alan still fumed. out took the glass
from Hoagland, who showed him where
the launch had landed above the town.
"The crew of the launch is still aboard.

"The men are doing we'll The fever is

HIN. I'm glad. Good man, Williams
one of the gun crew"
Why that seemed important now Alan
didn't really know. But it was something
to say Amneh, who had swallowed her
cup of coffee, seemed to revive suddenly.
"Mademoselle, it is very lucky for us
especially since but for our misfortune
you would even now be on your way to
the distant East
1T is quite unnecessary for me to say"
put in Constance rather dryly, that I'm
grateful for the sand bank" She rose and
excused herself cOOIly 81 must get back
to the sick-bay. Would you mind. Alan,
having my food sent there in the futHre?"
And while he stood aghast she went
through the door, which she carefully
closed behind her. Amneh. too had risen
and Alan turned toward her with a mute
question in his eyes. Amneh gaZed at the
portal gTavely.
"MademOiselle does not feel herself very
well this morning." she said, quietly.
Alan did not reply. What on earth had
happened? Amneh? The thought was
absurd. And yet there seemed no other
answer. Amneh was He couldn't
have prevented the child from coming
aboard. And she was safer here than any
where else. Besides, he had given her his

He was busy at once, Constance helping;
and completing the work Of the morphia
Hoagland had already given, after awhile
the man was asleep. The fever patients
were treated next. Nothing very serious
when compared to the other man, but

Doctor" Alan laughed. ITO tell the
truth, never thought Of one"
That's the psychology OF healthy men;
but it's pure idiocy in this latitude. Some
body in Egypt ought to have thought of it
for you. / haven't a man that l could

know you ought to have medical help-I

what were you thinking of"
Merely that your wounded man Will
need attention for a week or more. He
might take a bad turn-septicoemia, and

Sheer lunacy!"
I'm sure" said Constance Masterson's
voice very coOlly, 81 should be very glad
to stay if it could be MANAGED"
Alan thrilled gently.
"The very thing" said the medico with
alacrity, "and when you 90 back, Mr. Jes-
sup. you might run Miss Masterson up to
Joffa We can spare one nurse from the
TigrIs if she can join the Jerusalem
forces"
THAT can be managed" said Alan.
"Many thanks"
He exchanged a quick glance with Con-
ME, whose expression seemed suddenly to
have become very kind. The doctor gave
careful instructions, and then, shaking
Alans hand cordially, went over to the
Mercy, sending back after a while medi-
cines and Comics steamer trunk.
It was now four bells-two o'clock.
They stood at the rail watching the Mercy
majestically get under way and presently
the slow vibrations Of the propeller of the
yacht advised them that Hoagland was
wasting no time in losing the proximity
of the scene Of their misfortunes-to Alan
now a blessing in disguise.

and then, look OF some determination In
his face, went forward. The lights Of a
steamer were moving nOrthward some
where on the Turkana's port quarter.
deep frown drew down Alan's brows. Like
many mild men he was slow to anger. but
slower still to swing back TO the normal.

Before the noon hour Alan and Dauud
were ashore at the custom house. their
pockets full of British sovereigns, standing
before weedy looking Arab, the Amir-el-
Bahr, or port caLtain, who, they had
been told, was the pOssessOr Of infOTma-

was in need of money. Alan and DaOud
desired to part with it. He had chartered
his own ship and rails. but, of course, as
for telling where the sheykhs had gone,
that was another matter. II cost Alan in
the end twenty Of his gold pieces, but he
had found out what he wanted to knOW-at

him that Won HenE6Is party had sailed for

 Manners of the People.
 The revolution which opened the flood-gates of democracy cannot be said to have produced an improve mcnt in the manners of the people Many are the complaints of rudeness in speech and action on the part O. the proletariat, and this is perhaDs not surprising, since the worst eIe- ments Of the city are always driftina more or less aimlessly through the streets, and there is no visiblv con situted authority The police have disappeared and the Guards. who for Q time paraded the city in the in terest of public order, have ceased to perform this service.
 When night falls the central Da,.+s of Berlin are in many cases almost without illumination. The obscuri+,. of Enter den Linden and of some of the adjoining streets is such as in voluntarily to recall the precautions against air-raids during the war. The Leipzigerstrasse and the Friedrich strasse are lighted with arc-lamps and in the latter till after midnight the crowds are such as to make the footways impossible. It is a sad, un- lovely spectacle, since "the great sin of great cities is nowhere more openly Haunted than in Berlin.
 No, Berlin cannot be said to be all orderly city. It certainly Is not cheap The middle classes are the greatesr sufferers, particularly those who are usually known as ''the educated" such as professors, doctors, civil ser wants, and teachers in the schools Their lot is undoubtedly very hard. and many a silent tragedy is being enacted in trie families of these peO- ple.
