that the following statement does
not in any way detract, yet feels it
just to Bay that the one outstanding
character and the one most repon
sible for the success of the play was
Nova Hedin. Her interpretation
was beautiful and would have done
credit even to a senior. We are
proud also, of our boy Rex. Always
a boy of natural charm he did pre

very anxious to do his part exactly

grinned. "We've cot to get 'era on
the run by sunrise," finished Westwyn
nnd smote his henchman on the shoul
der. "Lord, I'll be glnd to get out of
this place J" he ended to I'ete's Intense
surprise
"I've kinder got used to It What'll
we do when this Is finished?" !t never
occurred to htm that they might sepa
rate.
"I don't fcriow Shoot something, I
suppose, or grow something. How
would farming fit you? I've got a
plnce In England"
For tli rest f the day the Austra
lian was riimlnntlve. "Sounded darn
' like settling down. Marriage always
played the h I with a man's Job," he
reflected.
Neit morning while a fringe of mist
swirled over the village, the two men
started for the dam, accompanied bv
a score of Riffs. Curtly, because he
was afraid of letting himself go. West
wyn had told Rosemary, "I've got to
be off for a few days. We're rather
expecting a scrap. If anything should
happen not that It's at all likely
you can rely on old Menebbhe. He'll
stick to you and see you safely out ot
this. Resides, you'll have Peter. lie's
got to do a Job In the mountains and
then I'll send him back to you.
The girl's expression puzzled htm
She seemed frozen. Only her eves
were alive and as pitiful as a child's.
lie knew she wanted to say more
than the few words with which she
wis!, ni him good luck, but she was
startled and unprepared for this sud
den departure.
'We'll have a talk when I get Hek,"
he promised, uncomfortable nt the
pain In her eyes.
Westwyn couldn't get the "mutter
out of his mind. Women always want
ed to drag things up and pull 'em to
pieces, he reflected, as his horse sidled
along the track. It was no use talking
'about things that were finished. Words
never did anyone any good, hut Rose-
f'mary's face, shadowed beyond Its
jyoufh, went with, him up the ravine.
The old headman, who had Insisted
on accompanying the party for the
first few miles, as he would have done
a great man of his own faith, received
short answers to his questions. When
: they drew rein on the Mrsl Hut ground
; and Menehhhe. dismounting, pr-ptired
'to take formal leave, Westwyn did not
' release the hand the old man extended.
"Sidl," he said, using for the first
I time, the title of honor. "I leave my
; house In your hands. If things go
wrong, I count on you.''
Menebbhe understood, hut the Eng
lishman was In no mood for the polite
diplomacy of Islam.
"Treat my wife as one of your fam
ily," he Insisted. "Her safety Is on
'your head."
i The old man replied gravely.
"On my head and my eyes! I
swear she shall be protected here and,
when Allah wills, go In safety out of
our country."
.
i For hours Westwyn and Pete
climbed steadily westward. Their rid
: Ing boots were not as suited to the
mountains as the soft RlfTlnn sandals,
but they made good progress, drag
ging their horses after them. By noon
they were In sight of the dam.
; All that day Rosemary, oppressed
by a foreboding which she told her
self was Illogical, moved restlessly
from one room to -another. ' A dozen
4iines she went 'on to the roof to look
down at the village, deserted except
'for the women and children. She
made a poor pretense of eating the
cous-rnus, on which Ahmed had ex
pended extra care, for he knew of
but one cure for the Ills of mind or
body food! I
Menebbhe came to see her In the
afternoon. , He was taking his re
sponsibilities heavily, and his mys
terious reticences were as exasperat
ing as the fervor of his assurances of
protection.
"I have my husband," Interpolated
Rosemary with some coldness.
