CHAPTER XIX.

- AIS, dark and beautiful as the
moonlit night, with shining
eyes, awaited him. She said
nothing, but glided across to him
with a little low, alluring laugh,
her arms wide. She had evidently
intended to surprise him, and must
have reached the villa some time
before, for she had bathed after
her journey, and had spent a long
time preparing for his return.
Never had she looked so lovely
the fragrance Of her hair, of the
rare, vaguely sweet scent she
always used, struck upon his brain
with curious hypnotic effect that
snapped his will almost instantly.

Her bare arms slid over his

"Sais! You! did not knoww
Almost blindly he sought her red
lips, murmuring.
Sais told him the tale of her
adventures from the time she rode
into the remotest levels of the
desert with the Red Emir until her
return, late that night, long past
midnight. ,
If Marchurst had been more ex-
perienced in the ways of such
women as Sais, he might have
marked a certain vague evasive-
ness, reticence of tone rather
than of words, as she poured out
the story. But men are not critical

Luxor villa, poised as it were, be-

was not wise, Dick. He was not
more afraid-he is never afraid,
that one-but he was more wary.
If ] had given him kiss instead Of
a dagger l would have been free

days"
Her great, slanting eyes mar
rowed suddenly, and her lips
hardened.
"For ten days / was at the
mercy of that merciless one," she
said, watching his face, then went
on swiftly.
"But at the end of ten days he
trusted me enough to drink from
cup which for one second had been
within my reach"
She slid off the great ring and
held it up to him.
"There was a gent who dwelt in
my ring" she said, laughing.
"And his name was Death. Only
i could not spare the whole of

Addar had need of most-for the

couch upon which She had been
curled and stretched luxuriously.
"And / am here" she said again.
"Have l done we'll, Dick?"
He watched her.
In spite of his present mental
laxity he knew that she had
achieved an amazing escape, but he
was in no frame of mind to at
tempt to visualize the processes of
that escape. She had returned I'M
harmed and he was content to let
the rest go-he did not desire to
picture, for example, the ride from
the camp into the glare of the
desert, the swift motion of the
dromedary, the pad and shuttle of
the camels and the white clad,
hooded band pressing like ghosts
behind.

heats, the quickly flung up tent for
Sais and the Red Emir, rising in

scrutiny or keen consideration of
the story of Sais that he was far
from observing that the narrative
was blurred, loose, disjointed.
Had he really loved this beauti-
full woman who, with many
caresses, poured out her story to
him throughout a full hour, he
might have found anxious, even
jealous reason to question her
more closely on many points. But
it did not occur to him to question
one thing, one act, of the many
of which she spoke. He let her
talk, listening almost idly, satisfied
that she was there, not less beauti-
full than before, quite obviously
content, talking in her curious,
clipped, incomplete English, with
occasional lapses into French.
She had never reached the
distant oasis of the Red Emir.

Actress Tells Secret
Tells How TO Darker Gray Hair
With = Home-Made Mixture.

Joicey Williams, the well-known
American actress, recently made
the following statement about
gray hair and how to darken it,
with a homemade mixture:
Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home that viii grad
.ually darken gray, streaked or
faded hair, and make it soft and
glossy. To a half-pint of water
add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small
box of Barbo Compound, and \
ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be
bought at any drug store at very
little cost. Apply to the hair
twice q week until the desired
shade is obtained. This will make
gray-haired person look twenty
years younger. 1t does not color

and does not rub OF"
