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.

pressing and crowding of customers,

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

"Yes, my child. And what are you

"Oh, I have been through here alone

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
