A Jewish woman laden with flow

mosque, singing a monotonous Arab
song. Colonel Destlnn bowed.
"Au revolr, Madame Arnaud.”
She turned from him with a little
strained smile about her white lips.
"Au revolr. Colonel Destlnn."

“Let lundame keep the Bower ever

Sylvia Arnaud nodded and passed
on.

her pen.

Miss Smith, intent on mending s
lieniillful bertha collar of hrussels lace,
■lid not look up.
"I have no oue to whom It is worth
while pretending," she said in her di
rect nay. "And eveu If they were
worth while. I doubt If I should think
so.”
"You have really no friends—no re

"No one."
The light from the tall rose colored
inuip liehind her fell softly on her
bent head and drew warm golden col
ors from the thick colls of hair as
usually neatly plaited iuto obedience.
Her hands, busy with the delicate
task, were also in the light, and their
extraordinary whiteness and beauty
caught Sylvia’s wandering attention
"What wonderful hands you have!”
she said, with a delightful spontaneous
enthusiasm. “One would think you
spent half your days looking after
them—which, of course, you can't do."
’They are heaven’s customary com

answered, smiling.
Sylvia turned away Impatiently, and
the old pucker of nervous restlessness
crept tvack between her brows. For a
few minutes neither woman spoke.
Then suddenly Sylvia broke the silence
—with a rush, as though a deep re
luctance had been swept aside by a
deeper need of speech.
"l*o yon believe the dead see os

M!ss Smith looked tip then, her eyes
full of shadowy thought.

to herself. "But there la one thing of

Sylvia Arnaud had dropped forward
with her face burled In her bauds aud
the white, beautiful shoulders were
quivering. "Madame Arnaud, what Is

"No, not you. But I am unhappy—

Ur perhaps—unknown to you—the
crisis Is there."
"The crisis?” Outside In the court
yard Sylvia Arnaud's ear bad caught
the sound of heavy footsteps. She rose
with a painful change of expression,
then, as she saw her companion's face,
became calm, gently indifferent, with
out trace of the sudden outburst suve
for the heightened color, the feverish
brightness of her eyes.
Desire Arnaud glanced at her as be
entered. She had resumed her corre
spondence and did not turn, but the
quiet disparagement of her attitude
seemed too usual to uffect him. He
crossed the room and, tossing his kepi
on the table, sank weurily In the chair
which Gabrlelle had Just vacated. Ills
uniform wus soiled aud dust-stained,
and the fine yellow sand of the desert
seemed to have crept Into the deep fur
rows of his face, marking them out
as with a merciless pencil.
Gabrlelle Smith turned from him,
and went quietly to the tea table aud
began to pour out. But he did not
seem to see her. The whole man had
sunk into a heavy stupor, beyond the
reach of sound apparently, without
know ledge of his surroundings. Y'et ss
his wife rose from her plaee he
stirred, his eyes followed under the
heavy white-lashed lids.
"Walt a moment. 1 have something

She stopped. Her fair head was
thrown back slightly; her features
would have been expressionless but for
the faint suggestion of contempt about
the mouth.

traced It to Its parent ledge.
The
placers jrlelded $2.250,000 and the gold
mine about $1.150,000, bu the rich ore
was exhausted tn a few years, and for
over forty years desultory prospecting
for other ore bodies was carried on
without notable reatilta.
In recent
years prospecting based on the
geologic relations of the old ore body
resulted tn the discovery of a new
body of rich ore. which has yielded
