Early the next morning, when

her look up in a startled fashion. So
far no one had intruded on her ablu-
tionS.
1t was a soft, purring, malicious lit

teasing.
Pansy did not like. She stood slim
and straight and defiant, ignoring his
request, conscious that all eyes were
upon them, all ears listening to what
was said.
Since she refused to do the sultan's
bidding. and since he made no at
tempt to force obedience, there were
half dozen pairs of hands ready and
eager to do the task Pansy scorned.

sharp snip of scissors, a rending

Arab girl retreated quickly, holding
the silk slip behind her, leaving
Pansy nothing but her curls to cover
her: covering that reached no
further than the nape of her neck.
With a heart broken cry she sank

This attempted assault was the last
