lowed in another There was nothing
to show that the pair were associated.

Eileen had some shopping to do at
Simon Art, and so to this store the
party made their way. Doctor Oestler,
it appeared, had purchases to make
also. The ships surgeon, Heatherley
went along. Dawson Haig, who had
been in Port Said twice previously and,
oddly enough, upon the same business
which saw him there now, having sat
istied himself that this was the destin-
alton of the party, became interested
in the movements of Mr.. Len Chow.
This gentleman, depositins his bag
gage at the Eastern exchange, had
strolled out, like a man with nothing
better to do than kill time.
The fortune teller had entered q
shop nearly opposite.
Dawson Haig wearing the tinted
glasses of "Mr. Smith," sat down at
some distance from the door and or
dered cool drink. He was doing
some hard thinking.
At about this time, Eileen had com
pleted her purchases. Her compan-
ions-excluding Doctor Heatherley--
had allowed themselves to be lured by
wonderful shawls, scarves, and other
pitfalls which await unwary travellers
in Eastern shops.
Doctor Oestler was inspecting n
handsome casket of inlaid wood.
Eileen, covertly, was watching him.
That this man was an associate OF
criminals, murderers, she could not
doubt; yet he was most nsertaining

ugliness, possessed the rare quality Of
soothing without boring.

CHAPTER vi

The night train from Cairo to Asuan
pulled into the station at Keneh. Only
two first-class passengers alighted
there, man and woman, small,
very slender woman.
The woman shivered as they entered
a saloon car which awaited them in
charge Of a Nubian chauffeur and
groom.
"You shiver, little one" said Yuan
Hee See.
The woman leaned against him. II
am so cold, YUAN" she explained
I'm two days you will be in your
own apartments-am your scents
and jewels, and those other toys you
love, with service and warmth, and
those treasures amid which I delight
to see you playing"
He stroked her slender 6nee with a
plump, tapering hand, and his words
came as a high Groom.
The car passed swiftly, and almost
silently, along a street in which were
lighted cafes, above them a tawdry
gaiety glimpsed through open windows.
Where large mosque grotesquely
broke the continuity of these houses,
they swung into narrow side turn
Ing. TIE driver skirted one high wall
OF zae mosque, came into the very
shadow of the minaret, and turned left
again. Through an unpaved lane run
ming parallel and behind the rowdy
street they proceeded, slowly now.
Twenty yards along, they pulled up.
The Nubian groom deftly unrolled
length of carpet across the muddy path
to gate which was suddenly opened in
an otherwise blank wall. An old Arab,
black robed and white turbaned, stood
there, holding lantern high above
his head. Its yellow light fell upon
wrinkled face which had earned for it's
owner the title of Father of Cunning.
Yuan Hee See and the woman
passed across roughly paved court
yard.
Light shone out from rooms on the
ground floor, and there was an outer
staircase leading up to balcony illumi-
mated by two fine lattice windows.
One would have judged, and judged
correctly, that this was an old Arab
mansion Around it the sordid life
of Keneh had crept, fungus-like, al
most concealing, but not defacing, the

Yu'An Hee See and his companion
entered a lighted room. On the
threshold they were met by Aswami
Pasha. He bowed low over the ex-
tended hand of Orange Blossom, deep
ly sauting Yuan Hee See.
"We have done our best, my lord"
he said. II trust you will be happy
here for one night"
He clapped his hands, and an old
Arab woman appeared.
