Chapter 14 THE BACKGROUND SIOHINO angrily ths anger at hsrselt Margaret glanced at the man who eat beside her hus band. BalinL First lntrodnced to her at Oxford aa "Mr. Roell." Introduced to her that da) at Jack's luncheon party In Jack'a rooms at St Just's: that day when Otho was so silly and stand-offlsb and unlike himself as though for the first time in his life he wished her to remember that he was Sir Otho Mandevllle Belleme and not her childhood's darling and hero, 'Tho of Big At tic. When she had greeted blm as ?dear old 'Tho," be bad called her Miss Mayklngs instead of Muggle or some other pet-name of the days when he approved her as a congen ial playmate and comrade, a good aha p. Tea, that waa the day on which "Mr. Russell" bad first met her. It was also the day before that on which be had declared his undying passion for ber. ... The amazing creature. He had never taken his yea from her face throughout that lunch; had inquired at which botel she and ber father were staying; bad Immediately transferred him self from bis own botel to theirs; tared at ber unwaveringly at tea time, at dinner-time, at the boxing match which followed; at breakfast-time next morning, and then, catching her alone In the lounge, bad laid his heart and fortune at her feet And demanded her hand In re turn. How (he and Dad bad laughed, and how Jack and Jules and Mother had laughed, about 1L , "Mr. Russell,'' otherwise the Said Rateul Abd'allah Karlm, son and belt' to the great Kald Haroun Abd'allah Karlm, the most power fnl man In Morocco, greater tar than the Sultan himself and able to defy more than two or three Eu ropean powers when be could not play them oft one against the other. "Mr. Russell,' late distinguished alumnus of the Paris Borbonne, full blooded Moor who spoke English, French and Spanish as perfectly aa he did bis native Arable. Strange that the true pure-bred Moor, a princely descendant of a hundred princes, warriors, corsairs, leaders and rulers of armies and of fleets, should be the one who sat there In a chair of European origin and dressed precisely aa he would have been at a bachelor dinner-party SB Mayfalr atrange that It should be he rather than Jules Mallgnl of ' Xton and Oxford. . Old he, with hie subtle clever ness, wear that dinner-Jacket, black Je, those black silk socks and pat- . eat shoes because be guessed or in tuitively knew that she must bate to see ber husband with his bare test stuck into Arab slippers, squat ting there in native dress? Strange that the Etonian Oxonian English man should dress and squat like a native while the real Moor should dress, look and behave like an Eng lish gentleman. Yea, almost certainly It waa cal culated, for Ralsul did nothing without a reason and a motive. ' For how long would he "behave like an English gentleman bere In Morocco? Hid she been fancying things or was be going to make him self a nuisance, and It so would be be very difficult to manage? Suddenly Ralsul, who had been industriously picking a flower to pieces, looked up, opened wide his great dark eyes, gated Into hers and, as though reading her thought, smiled with a flash of brilliant teeth. Mot a friendly pleasant smile of kindness and affection, but a twist ed smile, sardonic sarcastic enig matic Ignoring blm, Margaret's glance travelled on and rested for a mo ment upon the fat, lolly, avll and cruel face of bis father, the Kald Haroun Abd'allah Karlm. Watch ing him as ha sat chuckling and whispering with Zalnub, bis aite, whose lively sallies evidently pleased blm much, Margaret found It almost Impossible to believe the tales of bis appalling cruelty, tales tbat her husband's mother, the Kald's own half-sister, had told bor as Interesting anecdotes and fami ly gossip. POLICE RADIO SOUGHT FOR SALEM SAFEGUARD WASHINGTON, Feb. at (API The Balem police department has applied to the radio commission for a con struction permit for a municipal po lice station. It waa announced here iseshVsiijala Valiant Dust by Percival Christopher Wren -beau geStE" Amazing to think that that middle-aged gentleman sitting there, enjoying his Turkish cigarette and coffee, was a human monster, a brute who had always delighted not merely In savage war, but In Its af termath of slaughter and actual tor ture. And yet why wonder at this If, as one waa taught, heredity and envi ronment make thi man? What else should this descendant of pirates, bandits, brigands and raiders be, living aa be did In this robbers' stronghold, dominating a wild land known as "The Country of the Gun" because It produced nothing else but the gun and its people lived and died by the gun? Was there as much difference be tween this cruel blood-stained me diaeval baron and his twentieth century son as there was between their respective dress? Was there as untamed and unchanged a sav age Moor in Ralsul's Savlle-Row dlnner-klt aa there was In Haroun'a silken garments? Why on earth had she been such a fool as to come Into tbls horrible country, among these Incredible people, Into this fantastically Impos sible, fantastically real Moorish lite that they led today as they led It two hundred and three hundred and, for all ahe knew, Ave hundred and a thousand years ago? Margaret had thought It a simply splendid idea and a unique oppor tunity of seeing not as the tourist sees It a uniquely Interesting coun- try. - And there, awaiting her arrival, had been Ralsul, a little too insist ent on the fact that they were now cousins and he endowed with cous inly privileges. Had the Kald any Influence and power over his son, or. did be love him with too besotted a devotion to thwart or cross him in anything whatsoever? According to Jules' mother, El Isa Beth el Aln, the child bod ruled the man fromV babyhood and, far from ever denying blm anything, the Kald had turned his murderous wrath upon any man, woman, child or beast that bad ever refused, thwarted, hindered or angered the boy. . Had ha not stabbed with bis own band the favorite horse from which Ralsul, as a child, bad fallen? Had he not consented to the death of his own nephew, Jules, because of Ralsul's mother's bare suggestion that Julea might grow up to be an enemy and a usurper? No, proba bly the JCald's Influence over Ralsul was nil while that of Ralsul over the Kald waa paramour". From the iald, Uargaret glanced at bis wife, the once lovoly Zalnub, who, according to El Isa Beth el Aln, bad been reputed the loveliest woman In Morocco, the desired of the Sultan himself the autocratic all-powerful .jultan whom the Kald had first defied and then defeated. Evidently a woman of character, torcefulneaa and determination, aa proved by the one fact alone that she bad retained her power and In fluence over -iur ferocious, autocrat ic and untrammelled husband. Evi dently, too, a woman of fascination and charm, In that the Kald appar ently enjoyed her society today aa he had done 20 yeare ago. What was the secret of ber power that she should retain and, accord ing to El Isa Beth el Aln, augment and atrengthen It, even as she changed from lovely girl to tat old woman. For a Moorish woman In her forties la old. Probably she and the Kald wore "two mlnda with but a single thought" on most subjects, and he admired her ruthleasness and strength as much as ha had once admired her beauty. What a pity one could not talk to her, get ber point of view, attitude and outlook on Ufa and current events if talk she would, to a hated and despised outsider. Watching her as she sat with un covered face, Margaret thought of an ageing Lucresla Borgia, a Cleo patra in middle-life, of Catherine da Medici and Catherine of Russia. Of suoh waa the Lady Zalnub, wife of Abd'allah Karlm and mother of Ral sul. And that equally. It differently, amazing woman who eat next to her, the Lady El Isa Beth el Aln, Jules' mother, halt-sister of the Kald. How could ahe have found life bearable and contrived to live It beneath the same root, however vest, as the woman who had tried to kill ber baby, the little Julee, and who had put the oblld's life In such danger tbat ahe, the child's mother, had sent It away, with little hope of seeing It again.
