+ HE SHEIK:

thick iashes, screened by the
sleeve Of her coat She was lying
on q pile OF cushions In one corner
Of a small tented apartment which
was otherwise bare. except for the
rug that covered the floor. In the
opposite corner Of the tent an
Arab woman crouched over q little
brazier, and the smell Of native
coffee was heavy In the air. She
closed her eyes again with shud-
der. The attempted devotion of
CASTOR had been useless. This
must be the camp Of the robber
Sheik. Ibraheim OMAR.
She lay stiil. pressing closely
down amongst the cushions. and
clenching the sleeve Of her Jacket
between her teeth to stifle the
groan that rose to her lips. A
lump came into her throat a. she
thought Of CASTOR. In those last
moments all inequality Of rank
had been swept away in their com.
mon perii-they had been only
white man and a white woman to-
gether In their extremity. She re
membered how. when she had

sought and gripped hers, convey.
ing courage and sympathy. All
that he could do he had done. he
had shielded her body with his
own. It must have been over his
iifeless body that they had taken
her. He had proved his faithful
ness. sacrificing his life for his
masters iplaything. Castor was
in all probability dead. but she was
alive, and she must husband her
strength for her own needs. She
forced the threatening emotion
down, and. with an effort. con-
trolled the violent shivering in her
limbs. and sat up slowly. looking
at the Arab woman. who. hearing
her move. turned to gaze at her.
Instantly Diana realized that there
was no help or compassion to be
expected from her. She was
handsome woman, who must have
been pretty as girl, but there.
was no sign Of softness in her sui
len face and vindictive eyes. In

stinctiveiy Diana felt that the
glowing menace Of the woman's
expression was inspired by per-
sonai hatred. and that her pres.
ence in the tent was Objectionable
TO her. And the feeling gave a
necessary spur to the courage that
was last coming back to her. She
stared with all tho haughtiness
she could summon to her aid; she
had learned her own power among
the natives of India the previous
year, and here In the desert there

for the first time that all one side

She ripped II off with q shudder
and flung It from her, rubbing the

that might start again the throb-
bing In her head; but the effects of
the blow were wearing off. and.
