CHAPTER VIII,
The Purloined Cable.
George, having mada his bargain
with conscience relative to tbe Yhlor
dee rug. slept the sleep of the untrou?
bled, of the Just, of the man who had
-nothing In particular to get up for In
fact, sfter having drunk his breakfast
cocoa and eaten his buttered toast, ha
evinced his satisfaction hy turning hil
face awsy from the attracting morn?
ing light and pasrlng off into sleep
again. And thereby hangs this tala
So much d upon his gettlni
hie mail as lt came In that morning,
that Fate herself must have resitted
sturdily the desire to shake him by
the shoulder. Perhaps she would hare
done so but for the serenity of bli
pose and the Infantile smile that lin
gered for a while round bia lips. Fata
as with most of us, has her sentiment
tal lapses.
The man next door, having no coe
?dence to speak of (Indeed, he had de
railed her while passing his t wen ti
eth meridian!) was up betimes. H*
bad turned in at four; at six he wai
etrolllng about the deserted lounging
room, watching the entrances. It li
ncelvable bow easily mall may b*
purloined in a large hotel. There ar*
as many ways as points to the wind
nne cho*?e the slnipleet. He waited
for the mail-bag to be emptied upoi
the head porter's counter. Nonchal
antly, but deft'y. while the portei
looked on, the adventurer ran througl
the bulk. He found three lettera an(
a cable, the latter having been re
ed by George's bankers the da:
before and mailed directly to the ho
The porter had no suspicion tha
a bold theft wa. , committed un
der his very eyes. Moreover, clrcum
stances prevented his ever learnlnj
of lt. Ryanne stuffed the spoils inti
a pocket.
"If any one asks for me," he said
"say that I shall be at my banker*!

"Yea, sir." replied the porter, as h
began to sort the rest of the mai
not forgetting to peruse the postals
Ryanne went out into the street
walking rapidly into tewn. Mahomet!
El-Gebel shook tbs folds of his doa
and followed. Tbe adventurer did nc
slacken his galt till he reached Shel
beards hotel. Upon the steps h
paused. Some English troops wer
marching past, on the way to the ral
way station; the usual number of ni
tlves were patrolling the sidswalki
dangling strings of imitation scarabs
a caravan of pack-camels, laden wit
cotton, shuffled by haughtily; a blln
beggar sat on the curb In fron
munching a piece of sugar can<
Ryanne, assured that no one hs kne
was about, procseded into the wrltlnj
room, wholly deserted at this earl
hour.
He sat down at a desk and oper.e
the cable. It contained exactly whi
be expected. It was a call for Si
vice in regard to the rental of M
George P. A. Jones' mansion In Ne
York and the temporary disposing <
the loose valuables. Ryanne read
over a dozen times, with pucker
brow, and finally balled lt fiercely 1
bis fist. Fool! He could not. at thi
moment, remember the most ease
tlal point in the game, the name ai
office of the agent to whom he mu
this very morning send reply. Hu
rledly he fished ont the letters; 01
chance in a thousand. He swore, fr
