In the clearer, almost crystalline light of the coming day, tbey saw the track of the camels In one long, unbroken line stretching away northwards. He glanced around a little helpless ly. Quest took a cigar from his case and lit It "No good worrying," Quest slgbed. "The question la bow best to get out of the mesa. What's the next move, anyway?" The professor glanced towards the son and took a small compass from bis pocket He pointed across the des ert "That't exactly our route," he laid, "but I reckon we still must be two days from the Mongars, and how we are going to get there ourselves, much more get the women there, without camels, I don't know. There are no wells, and I don't believe those fel lows have left us a single tin of wa ter." Laura put her head out of the tent In which the two women had Blept "Say, Where's breakfast?" she ex claimed. "I can't smell the coffee." They turned and approached her si lently. The two girls, fully dressed, came out of tbe tent as they ap proached. "Young ladles," the professor an nounced, "I regret to say that a mis fortune has befallen tis, a mis fortune which we shall be able, with out doubt, to surmount, but which will mean a day of hardship and much In convenience, "Where are the camels?" Lenora asked breathlessly. "Gone!" Quest replied. "And the Arabs?" "Gone with them we are left high and dry," Quest explained, ' "And what Is worse," tbe professor added, with a groan, "they have taken with them all our stores, our rifles and our water." "How far are we from the Mongar camp?" Lenora asked. "About a day's tramp," Quest re plied quickly. "We may reach there by nightfall." "Then let's start walking at once, before it gets any hotter," Lenora suggested. Quest patted her on the back. They made a close search of the tents, but found that the Arabs had taken every thing in tbe way of food and drink, ex cept a single naif-filled tin of drink ing water. They started bravely enough, but by midday their little stock of water was gone, their feet were sorely blistered. No one complained, however, and the professor did his best to revive their spirits. "We have come farther than I bad dared to bope. In the time," he an nounced. "Fortunately. I know the exact direction we must take. Keep up your spirits, young ladles. At any time We ma see signs of our destination." ' . i.v . .k. . i , . I.. (a-urai, una (real sign 01 rviici, ill a cigar. "Some adventure, tblt!" be de clared. Tbe professor, who bad been talking lo the men In their own language. turned back towards the two girls. "It It a caravan." be explained, "of peaceful merchant on their way to Jaffa. Tbey are baiting for ut. and we thall be able, without a doubt, to arrange for water and food and a camel or two hortet. Th man here atkt If the ladlet will take the hortet and ride?" Tbey started off gayly to where the caravan bad come to a standstill. They had scarcely traversed a hundred yards, however, before tbe Arab who was leading Lenora 't hone came to a tudden ttandstlll. He pointed with bit arm and commenced to talk In an excited fashion tohli two companions. From acrost the detert, facing them, came a little company of horsemen, galloping fast and with the sunlight flashing upon their rifle. "The Mongars!" the Arab cried, pointing wildly. "They attack the caravan!" The three Arabt talked together for a moment In an excited fashion. Then, without excuse or warning, they swung tbe two women to the ground, leaped "If You Value Your Lives, You Will Do aa You Are Bidden." on their horses, and, turning north wards, galloped away. The professor looked on anxiously. "I am not at all sure," be said In an undertone to Quest, "about our po sition with the Mongars. Craig has a peculiar hold upon tbem, but as a rule tbey hate white men, and tbelr blood will be up. . . . See! tbe fight Is all over. Those fellows were no match for the Mongars. Most of them have fled and left the caravan." , Tbe fight was indeed over. Four of the Mongars bad galloped away la pursuit of the Arabs who had beet the temporary escort of Quest and bit. companions. They passed about a hundred yards away, waving their arms and shouting furiously. One of tbem even fired a shot, which missed Quest by only a few lncbes. "They say tbey are coming back," tbe professor muttered. "Who thitt It's the chief and" "Our search Is over, at any rat," Quest Interrupted. "It's Craig!" Tbey came galloping op, Craig In white llas clothes and an Arab' for Ibe young ladle. Ther will be hortet for you among the raptured onea from tbe caravan yonder." Tbey all turned towards the chief, who remained a little on the outalde of tbe circle. Tbe erofrtaor raited bit bat and (poke t few wordt In the Monger language, then h turned to Ibe other. "I bav accepted tb Invitation of tbe chief." he announced. "We bad better (tart e e e "Tblt may not be lVlmonlco'e." Laura remarked, a fw hour later, with a little dgb of contentment, "but believe m that goal stew and therbet tatted better than any chicken and champagne I ever tatted." , They moved to tbe opening of the j tent and tat looking out acrost tbe tllent desert Laura took the flap of the canvaa In bar band. "What do all theae marfct mranf she asked. "They are raballstlo tlgnt." the I profetsor replied, "part of the lan guage or tne tribe. Tbey indicate that this It the guest tent, and there are a few little maxima traced upon It. extolling tbe vlrtuet of hospitality " Lenora leaned forward to where a I little group of Mongars were talking together. "I with that beautiful girl would come and let ua tee ber again." she murmured. "She," tbe profetsor explained, "!( the chleft daughter, Feerda, whote life Craig taved." "And from the way the looks at him," Laura observed. "I should say the hadn't forgotten It either." The professor held up a warning finger. The girl herself bad glided to their side out of tbe shadows. She faced tbe professor. The rest of the party she teemed to Ignore. She spoke (lowly and In halting English. "My father wlahei to know that you are satisfied?" the aald. "You have no further wantt?" "None." the nrofeator astured her. pltallty. Feerda." "Won't you talk to ut for a little time?" Lenora begged, leaning tor ward. The girl turned tuddenly to the professor and spoke to him In ber own language. She pointed to the signs upon tbe tent, drew her finger along one of the sentences, flashed fierce glance at them all and disap peared. "Seems to me that we are not ex actly popular with the young lady," Quest remarked. "What wat she say ing, professor?" "She suspects us." tbe professor said slowly, "of wishing to bring evil to Craig. She pointed to a sentence upon the tent. Roughly It meana 'Grat itude Is the debt of hospitality.' Iam very much afraid that the young lady must have been listening to our con versation." The professor suddenly leaned for ward. There was a queer change In his face. From somewhere on the other side of that soft bank of vlolot darkness came what seemed to be the clear, low cry of some animal. "It Is the Mongar cry of warning," he said hoarsely. "Something Is going to happen." The whole encampment was sud denly In a state of activity. The Mongars ran hither and thither, get ting together their horses. The chief, with Craig by his side, waa standing on the outskirts of the camp. "Seems to me there's a move on," Quest muttered, as they rose to tholr feet. "I wonder If we are In It." A moment or two later Craig ap proached them. "Word has been brought to the chief," he announced, "that the Arab who escaped from the caravan hat fallen In with an outpost of British soldiers. They have already started In pursuit of us. The Mongara will take refuge In the Jungle, where they have prepared hiding-places. We start at once." "What about us?" the professor In quired. I endeavored," Craig continued, "to persuade the chief to allow you to re main here, when the care of you would devolve upon tbe English sol diers. He and Feerda, however, have brought The llttl pmreaalon wat already be ing formed In lln. Craig approached them one mor. "You will mount now and rid In lha middle of our caravan." b directed.

It was not until late In tbe evening, when tbe Mongara bad withdrawn a little to Indulge In tbelr customary orgy of crooning tongs, that they were absolutely alone. Quett looked out of the tent In which they bad been lil ting and came back again. "Well?" Laura lifted her tklrt and thowed an unutual projection underneath. "Lenora and I have pinned up our pettlcoati." the announced. "We've got plenty of food and a bottle of water." Queat threw open the white Arab cloak which be had been wearing. He had three rifles strapped around blm. "The professor's got the ammuni tion," he said, "and we've five horses tethered a hundred paces along tbe track we came by, Just behind the second tree turning to tho left. I want you all to go there now at once and take the rifles. There Isn't a soul In the camp and you can carry them wrapped In this cloak. I'll Join you In ten minutes." "What about Craig?" the professor Inquired. "I am seeing to him," QueBt replied. Lenora hesitated. "Isn't It ruther a risk?" she whis pered fearfully. Quest's face was suddenly stern. "Craig Is going back with us," be aid. "Ill bo careful, Lenora. Don't worry." lie strolled out of tbe tent and came back again. "The coast's clear," he announced. "Off you go. , . , One moment," he added, "tbero aro some popors In this little box of mine which ono of you might take care of." He bent hastily over the little wallet, which never left him. Suddenly a lit tle exclamation broke from bis lips. "What Is It?" Quest never said a word. From one of the spaces of the wallet he drew out a small black box, removed the lid and held out the card. They read It to gether: Foole, all of youl The cunning of the tgee defeatt your puny effortt at very turn The Hand. Ben tbe professor' lips blanched a little as be read, '-lucut, however, teemed suddenly furious. He tore the card and tbe box to pieces, flung tbem The profeiaor waa dubloua, "You are that tree that looks like a dwarfed aloe?" "What about It?" "Craig wat lying there ten mlnutea ago.

It would be all over In a fe mlnutea. You have but to say the word. My father Is eager for It No one would ever know." Craig patted her bead. Hla tone was filled with the deepest despon dency. "It It Impossible, Feerda," he said, "You do not understand. I cannot toll you everything. Sometimes I almost think that tbe beat thing I could do would be to return with tbem to th countries you know nothing of.' "That' what you are going to do, anyway," Quest declared, suddenly making bit reappearance. "Hands iin!" He covered Craig with hit revolver, but hit arm was scarcely extended be fore Feerda sprang at blm like a little wildcat. Iletgrlpped her with his left arm and held her away with diffi culty. "Craig," be continued, "you're com ing with us. You kliow the way to Port Said and we want you you know why. XJntlo that tash from your waist Quickly!" Craig obeyed. "Tlo It to tbe tree," Quest ordered. "Leave room enough." Craig did as he was told. Then he turned and held the loose ends up. QueBt lowered his revolver for a mo ment as he pushed Feerda towards It Craig, with a wonderful spring, reach ed his side and kicked the revolver away. Before QueBt could even stoop to recover It ho saw the glitter of the other's knife pressed against his chest. "LlBten," Craig declared. "I've made up my mind. I won't go back to Amer ica. I've hod enough of bolng bunted all over tho world. This time I think I'll rid myself of one of you, at any rate." "Will you?" The Interruption was so unexpected that Craig lost his nerve. Through an opening In the trees, only a few feet away, Lenora had suddenly appeared. She, too, bold a revolver, her band was as steady at a rock. them. A cloud bad drifted In front of tbe moon, and U the darkneta It waa almoal Impoaalble to (re their . wbereabouta. Tbey beard tbe chief ', vole. I "fhoot flnt that dog of a Craig" i Tber wa a thrlrk.
