Brttlah aafnt. the man Petrel lovea. Yeater flay : Petrel and Tony have dinner with Ppfcr'a gang of Journallata. Petrel hopea Tony will realize the la aulted to hla Hie. Chapter 28 Drive In The Dewrt "Our other lady tsn'i very talka Ove. What made you Invite her to the table. Petrel?" asked Tony. "The Baroness?" Petronella glanc. ed to the other end of the table. Fleur von Crete sat crumbling her roll, and staring abstractly at, and through Rogers, so that he looked quite discomforted. Fleur had spoken to her, when she met her on her way to change. She was worried about Rene. She was In a miserable state of nerves about him. she ad mitted In her odd, thick voice. She had dreamed twice, lately, that he had crashed. She Is worrying about her neph. cw. who is flying from Dalmatia to loin her," Petronella told them. "I thnitoht it miffht -chser her un toJ have someone to talk to. "Odd old trout, Isn't she?" said Ted Masters. "She Interests me. She was probably as lovely as the dawn once. I know the type! stupid, beau tlful blue eyes. She's wearing superb Jewels. How does she manage to get her money out of Germany? What Is this nephew like?" "A beautiful young man," said Petronella casually. It was not suf flclent to disarm his Interest. She must lead Ted Masters astray. "He has about half her money and twice her Intelligence, and she wor ships him." "So that soon he will have nearly all her money?" "Perhaps. But I think Rene obeys a few rules. Hes klndhearted." "I see." So he was one of those she saw Masters thinking. The prob lem stood explained. His Interest in both the Baroness and her gigolo, died. He returned to the question of sanctions. There was no doubt, y thought Petronella. that Rene's choice of role was clever. It served his purpose very well. After dinner she and Tony left the rest still talking. It was unsafe to drive in the assert at night, because of Bedou ms. They were likely to take advan tage of the present trouble. Instead, they wandered out Into the gardens of Cairo. They made love beside a little fountain, whose water was still It reflected the yellow moon, at which the dogs were howling, and a redness In the northern sky. "There must be a fire " "Students have set fire to the of fices of the Ego. It Is a pro-British paper. I heard firing while we were dancing, and found out, while you were putting on your coat It's no thing serious. Don't worry." She laughed softly. "I'm not wor rying!" Held close to Tony. Petro nella did not care and was not afraid. 'Tto'renturous Enough The following morning they rode together. The air was fresh, until the sun rose high, and the limitless stretches of the desert, extending to the horizon, were In harmony with their mood. In the afternoon they played ten nis with a Mr. and Mrs. Jameson of the consul service, who were friends of both the Mallones. She telephon ed and asked if she might take Tony with her. They dined with Peter and the gang, and went to a movie. They danced at the "Blue Cat" cabaret, on the bank of the Nile. The moon was reflected In the water. "Before that moon Is really lopsid ed, you'll have mad up your mind to marry me." he told her. "When will those orders come?" "The day after tomorrow I think. Tomorrow I have to pay an official visit to the governor of Fa yum. Will you come with me? It is about three hours drive out of Cairo. If you havenl seen the oasis It will Inter est you " They were driven there seated In T-1 an open car. behind their driver's red tarboosh. Taking the new road. they struck out across the desert, 'ttl I By the pyramids looked small In the distance. "Look Petrel a caravan I On Its way to Alexandria. That hasn't changed since the Bible was writ ten." She followed the direction In which he pointed. She saw the enor mous wooden caskets, perched on the backs of the strange, ungainly camels, picking their leisurely, dis gruntled way across the pale waste of stones and ripple-marked sand. . "No that hasn't changed." In the midst of those rolling miles of desert, the sudden dip of the road into the oasis of Fa yum was unex pected and Impressive. Here again, the country of the Bible seemed to stand unaltered. Olive trees grew beside a stone well, where women filled shapely black water carriers. "We might have strayed back Into 1000 B.C." As their car entered the narrow streets, chickens fluttered out of the road. Into the sheltering door ways of huts, and goats slept In patches of shade. Beggars sat dis playing their sores, , and whining their demands for charity. Tony did not seem to have any thing particular to discuss with the governor, realized Petronella. She supposed this was a visit of official courtesy. They were only alone to gether for a few minutes. Afterwards the charming Egyptian, who spoke perfect English, showed them around his magnificent garden and well kept house. After they had had cof fee, and tea, specially prepared In her honor, he accompanied them back through the outskirts of the village, to the desert. It was getting dark. Their driver might lose his way. They followed the governor's car. Coming out of the darkness. In strange succession, came the tune RADIO PROGRAM Wrdnsda? P.M.

Their escort had stopped. The road across the desert lay before them. They all alighted In the deep blue dusk, to say farewell. "Now you are on the right road so I shall turn back. Miss Mallone. I shall be so very pleased If you will come again." "Thank you, It has been simply fascinating. You have been very kind." "Am I permitted to wish you both great happiness? Mr. Lance has told me ha hopes to make you his bride You are well matched. You are ad venturous enough, even for him." "Thank you very much," she smiled. "Goodbye." Secrets What did he mean by that, Tony?" she asked, when the lights of Fa yum were golden pin pricks In the distance. "How 'does he know you are adventurous, - you have never met before?" "Only that I have promised him some Information he doesnt believe It possible for me to get, without considerable trouble." "Tony, there Is a car behind us. There was a car coming out.
