"Perhaps my lord Is sensitive. I am a poor man. I meant no harm! The charm guards oue against danger and from false friends! See. my lord, I must speak truthfully!" Gish Dewar’s brown hands went out in a flashing gesture that startled Maud Raymond, so familiar was it. She peered down at the face o f the curio dealer, but it was in deep shad ow. There was a glimpse of dark eyes, an aquiline nose, a pointed beard. She felt a vague disappointment as she turned away. There was something in gesture and voice which had reminded her o f El mer Winn, hut Winn was in China, had been for five years, and she ut tered a sad little laugh at her own folly. How could a sun dried Egyp tian be Elmer Winn? Dick was snapping angrily at the cu rio dealer. “ Keep your rubbish!" he said Inso lently. flinging the amulet on the car pet before Gish Dewar. " I dare say it was made in New York, any w ay!” “ Dick, do be careful!” cautioned bis mother. “ You never know what these foreigners will do!" Maud stood aloof regarding Dick with contemptuous eyes. How like him. to haggle with a humble mer chant in an Egyptian bazaar! By na ture Dick was small and mean and tyrannical. “ Oh, my lord is mistaken!" returned Gish Dewar, with deadly courtesy in his tones; “ my lord is mistaken. The amulet was not made in the place he calls New York. It came from the tomb o f Prince Ammennra. a nephew c f Rameses II. of a time long past when my lord’s ancestors were poor peasants working In the Helds!" Dick was stuttering with rage. He felt that Maud was secretly amused at the truthful words of the Cairene merchant. “ You can keep the money.” laughed Dick rudely, turning away. Gish Dewar gathered the 500 piastres into his strong hands and shook them musically. “ 1 will wager my lord 500 piastres that I will return this money to him at the moment o f his greatest humiliation, for he has been a false friend." Dick laughed harshly aud followed bis companions. His good looking face wore a scowl. His thoughts were un pleasant enough. “ What did the fellow mean?" he ask ed himself. "W h at the deuce did he mean by talking about ’false friends?’ " Mrs. Carletou was apologizing for her son’s bad temper. “ 1 am afraid it Is the tropical sun." she said, striving to reassure the girl whom Dick wanted to marry. Maud was her goddaughter and Mrs. Carle- ton had counted upon this European trip to brihg about the desired engage- men L They went along the bazaar, and while Dick and his mother picked out a silky rug, Maud hurried back to Gish Dewar. He was sitting there in that motionless, meditative attitude. He glanced up sharply at sound o f her light step and then drew back into the shadow. In the sunlight her face shone with its wonderful tints o f cream and pink, gray eyes, black lashed and cool, and shimmering golden hair. She was wasting a wonderful smile upon the poor merchant. “ I will buy the amulet," she said softly, taking money from her purse. “ Hurry, please!" Gish Dewar opened the copper box. si Wager How He Made a Wish Come True. B y C L A R IS S A M A C K I E A party o f Aiuericau sightseers was dawdling about in Cairo. There were a Mrs. Carletou, her sou. Richard, and Miss Maud Raymond. They had ascend ed the Nile and seen the wonders there of, and now they were looking for trin kets to take home with them to Amer ica. They had drifted into u bazaar where anything could be bought from an amulet to an idol. Gish Dewar sold trinkets in the ba zaar. AH day long he sat in the shadow of his striped canopy, looking sad and mysterious. His dark eyes never ques tioned the passing crowds, nor did he importune the tourists to buy as did his fellow merchants, who talked about him. “ Who is this Gish Dewar?” asked Ali Renamid. the shoe dealer. "A stranger who has pushed himself forward, a lazy one who does not hag gle. He sets a price ui*ou his wares; and one may buy or not! Every day he loses customers.” “ The rich Americans pause to buy. See. Gish Dewar is almost asleep!” It was true that Gish Dewar’s tur- baned head was drooping somnolently, even while three Americana paused lie- fore his stall. “ The old beggar's asleep, Maud.” laughed the man carelessly. “ Let us go on.” “ Rut, Dick," protested the pretty girl. “ I do want one o f these curious filagree bracelets and one o f these long chains of blue-green Egyptian scarabci. Aren’t they lovely. Mrs. Carieton?” tim in g to the white haired woman who accompanied them. “ Yes, my dear, but this little brooch like a coiled snake appeals to me. Oh, Dick.” to her son who was obviously bored, “ do awake the man!" Dick Carletou stifled a yawn and prodded Gish Dewar in the ribs with his walking stick. The turbaned head flew up und a pair o f liquid dark eyes blazed at him in hot anger. But Gish Dewar’s voice was silkily smooth. “ Excuse, effendi." he murmured; "you would buy?" "Yes, this bracelet, now?" Maud Ray mond held the Hlagree trinket In her fingers. The eyes o f Gish Dewar gazed not at the bracelet He was staring at the girl’s little hands, white and ringless. "H o w much?" insisted the girl with a note o f impatience in her voice. "A hundred piasters.” muttered the seller o f curios. Miss Raymond took out her purse and paid for the bracelet and. having priced the scamliei chain and finding it too costly, they were about to move on when Gish Dewar brought out a small copper box and opened i t “ Here, effendi." he said, “ are amulets to wear.” Dick Carieton looked them over. One o f onyx, set with a large peart attracted him. "I like this one.” he said. " I t will make a unique watch fob." Gish Dewar became urgent “ It protects the wearer against dan ! \ (Continued on next page) PROFESSIONAL CARDS Cloverdale Lodge». Tillamook Abstract CoiUÿ*tty T hos . C oa wis . i. o. o. r.
