Lillian turned on me with a half humorous, half serious impatience when she har emphasized the ne- eesisiy of seeing Katherine before she lcft.

But from your performances of the last week or two first with the code of Aliens. and then with the trailing Of smith, yours ought to be going strong Cant you grind out some scheme for see ing Katherine which will he foolproof from interruption 2"
 l flushed with pleasure at her praise, although I wondered if she really were puzzled as to means of seeing Katherine safely, or if she, with her usual generosity, was giving me a chance to score another tiny triumph. There is but one thing to do, how ever, when Lillian suggests a task to be accomplished, and I girded myself mentally for the job.
 Tt ought to be comparatively easy for aKtherine to get out of the hos pital undetected," I said hesitatingly "A plea of fatigue or illness, retire ment to a room on another floor. known only to herself and the super intendent, a complete change of cloth ing perhaps mourning-with a veil- Do.

But l was careful to let no hint of my feeling escape me.

 ture has as its central character Dan iel Lane, student and philosopher who lives among the Arabs and who,

Muriel, petted and spoiled accustomed to admiration and hattery from every man, meets Lane. and out of the encounter Of these contrasting characters grows the drama.
 As time goes on, she finds him too good to be true" His apparent in difference to her, so unprecedented in her experience. piques her interest. She decides that he must prefer the native women, and jumps to the con cusion that he has a harem in the desert. Ills enemies maliciously cor roborate her theory. Meanwhile, she is falling in love with him. AS a background to this love interest, there is visualization of the disagreement between the British government and the native leaders which looms so large in Egypt today,
 The story rises to its climax as Muriel determines to break it down by fouting convention and going to him at his oasis in tho desert. When sine arrives there and offers herself, Lane is put to the supreme test. But he conquers himself, and proves to Murie that there is no harem, no weakness in his character-and no woman in his life.
 Convinced. she prepares to return to Cairo when she receives her sur prise. The oasis is attacked by rene gade Arabs. led by the Sheik's trait orous son. who seek to kill Lane and negotiate with the British government tor the return of the oasis for large sum- Tn the fierce battle which en- sues, Muriel reveals that she is at heart, a genuine and true woman, and such one as Lane could love. So they are brought together on sound 2" "1g of mutual admiration and es- teem.
