Abdr tion was rather out of his sphere of action: And yet, the suppressiog of Percival was by all odds the most i portant move to be made. He hel volunteered this service and acega push it he must, in face of all obeh des, or poot! went the whole dMdt fabric. For to him it was droll a never it rose In his mind that he dl not chuckle saturninely. It was a kind of nightmare where one hung It mid-air, one's toes Just beyond the taming dragon's Jaws. The rewaNe would be enormous, but these he would gladly surrender for the m. premoe satisfaction of t-rning the poisoned arrow in the heart of that canting hypocrite, that smug chartb. deacon, the sanctimonious, the sleeo, the well-fed first-born.

It was there also that he had heard df.the history and the worth of the Thiordes rug and the possibility of its theft He laughed. To have gone upon as adventure like that, with nothing but the fumes of wine in his head! pr a few pieces of gold he might enroll under his shady banner three or four shining lights who would un dertake the disposal of Percival. Not that he wished the young man any barm-no: but business was business. sad in some way or another he must be made to vanish from the sight and presence of men for at least two mnaths. As for Major Callahan's unforeseen danger, the devil could look out for that Ryanne consulted his watch, a cheap bet trustworthy article, costing a dol laur, not to be considered as an avail able asset. He would give it away haer in the day; for he had decided that while he was in funds there would be wisdom in the purchase of a fine NM Loagines. A good watch, as ev ea eme knows.

From the heuzar, his brother, his uncle, his grandfather. his children and his children's children. "Illacksheesh. backsheesh'" "To the right!" was shrilled into Ryanne's ear: and be dodged. A troop of donkeys passed, laden with tourists, unhappy, fretful, self-con. scions. A water-carrier brushed against him, and he whiffed the fresh dampness of the bulging goat-skin. A woman, the long, black head-veil streaming out behind in the clutch of the monkey-like hand of a toddling child, carried a terra-cotta water-jar upon her heed. The grace with which she moved, the abruptness of the col or-changes, caught Ryanne's roving eye and filled it with pleasure. Dust rose and subsided, eddied and settled; beggars blind and one-eyed squatted in it, children tossed it in play, and beasts of burden shuffled through it. The roar in front of the shops, the pressing and crowding of customers, the high cries of the merchants; the gurgle of the water-pipes, the pleasant fumes of c-ffee. the hardy loafers lollint before the khans or caravan saries; a veiled face at a lattice-win dow; the vi!olet shnadows in a doorway; the sunshine upon the soaring mosques; a true believer, rocking and mumbling over his tattered Koran; gold and silver and Jewels; amber and copper and brass; embroideries and rugs and carpets; and the pest of fleas, the plague of flies, the insidious smells. Ryanne found himself inspecting "the largest emerald in the world. worth twelve thousand pounds." which looked more like a fine hexagonal of onyx than a gem. It was one of the curiosities of the bazaars, however, and tourists were generally round it in force. To his experienced eye it was no more than a fine specimen of emerald quartz, worth what any fool of a collector was willing to pay for it. From this bazaar he passed on into the next, and there he saw Fortune. And as Mahomed, always close at hand, saw the hard lines in Ryanne's face soften, the cynical smile become tender, he believed he saw his way to strike. CHAPTER IX. The Bitter Fruit Fortune had a hearty contempt for persons who ate their breakfast in bed. For her the glory of the day was the fresh fairness of the morning, when every one's step was buoyant, and all life stirred energetically. There was cheer and hope' everywhere; men faced their labors with clear eye and feared nothing; women sang at their work. It was only at the close of day that despair and defeat stalked the highways. So she was up with the sun, whether In her own garden or in these odd and mystical cities. Thus she saw the native as he was, not as he later in the day pretended to be, for the benefit of the Feringhi about to be stretched upon the sacrificial stone. She saw, with gladness, the honey-bee thirling the rose, the plow man's share baring the soil; the morn ing, the morning, the two or three hours that were all. all her own. Her mother was always Irritable and petu lant In the morning, and her uncle never developed the gift of speech till after luncheon. She had the same love of prowling that lured Ryanne from the beaten paths. She was not inquisitive but curlous, and that ready disarming mile of hers opened many a portal. She was balancing upon her gloved palm. thoughtfully, a 8oudanese head trllket, a pendant of twisted gold wires, Sawed emeralds and second pearls, really exquisalte and not gen erally to be fo outside the expen sie shops in the BEropean quarters, and there infrequently. The merchant wntred twenty pounds for It Poriline shook her head, regretfully. It was farheyold her mesa. She sighed.

No mat tor to whom shi t Iurn(ed. there was no on1. to answer her questions, questions born of doubt anr:d f`ear. "T-n ipounds." rolt ated Ryanne. a hand in his pocket. The merchant laughed. Here were a young man and his sweetheart. His experience had taught him, and not unwisely, that love is an easy victim, too proud to haggle, too generous to bargain sharpl,. "Twenty," he re iterated. "S.laam!" said Ryanne. "Good day. He drew the somewhat resist ing hand of Fortune under his arm and made for the door. "S'!" he whis pered. "leave it to me." They gained the street. The merchant was dazed. He had misjudged what he now recognized as an old hand. The two were turning up another street when he ran out, shouting to them and waving the pendant. Ryanne laughed. "Ten pounds. I am a poor man, ef fendi, and I need the money. Ten pounds. I am giving it away." The merchant's eyes filled with tears, a trick left to him from out of the ruins of his youth, that ready service to forestall the merited rod. Ryanne counted out ten sovereigns and put the pendant in Fortune's hand. And the pleasure in his heart was such as he had not known in many days. The merchant wisely hur ried back to his shop. "But . . ." she began protest inely. "Tut, tut! I have known you since you wore short dresses and tam-o shanters." "I really cannot accept it as a gift. Let me borrow the ten pounds." "And why can't you accept a little gift from me?" She had no ready answer. She gazed steadily at the dull pearls and the flaky emeralds. She could not ask him where he had got those sover eigns. She could not possibly be so cruel. She could not dissemble in words like her mother. That gold she knew to be a part of a dishonest bar gain whose forestep had been a theft -more, a sacrilege. Her honesty was like purz gold, unalloyed, unmixed with sophistic subterfuges. That the young man who had purchased the rug ,might be mildly peccable had not yet occurred to her. "Why not, Fortune*" Ryanne was very earnest, and there was a pinch at his heart. "Because·. ." "Don't you like me Just a little'" "Why, I do like you. Horace. But I do not like any man well enough to accept expensive gifts from him. I do not wish to hurt you, but it is Im possible. The only concession I'll make is to borrow the money." "Well, then, let it go at that" He was too wise to press her. "And can you afford to throw away ten pounds?" with assumed lightness. "My one permanent impression of you is the young man who was always forced to borrow car-fare whenever he returned from Monte Carlo." "A fool and his money. But I'm a rich man now," he volunteered. And briefly he sketched the exploit of the Yhiordes nrug. "It was very brave of you. But h~as It ever occurred to you that it wasn't honest ?" "Honest?" frantkly astonished that she should question the ethics. "Oh. I say. Fortune; you don't call it dishon est to get the best of a pagan! Aren't they always getting the best of us?" I 3 Bell of Tragic Memories Has Remarkable History That Will Strike the Reader as Being Typni cally Russian. The Kamaoulle Koloko. or "ell With the Ear Torn Off." had a most romanticL history. In the sixteenth century Prince Dimltri. the rightful heir to the Russian throne, was de posed by a revolt led by Boris Oodua oi. who was afterward proclaimed esar. The seat of governmeat was tham at Ugltch and thither DImitr was seat, in order that he might remain under the direct observatioe eo the usurper. Bors, fearing that the populace might awake to the justice of the claims of the young prince, planned the assassination of DlmitrI. He was one day stabbed in a courtyard.
