Chapter II TRAGIC DAUGHTER WHAT a UurllllDf tale EI Isa Bath el Aln had told Margaret, In her carious English Interspersed with French phrases and Spaslab and Arab words, about th faithful slave-woman and bar brother Has- an el Mlskeen, who bad taken the child Jules from Mekaiiea to Tan gier, and handed blm over to Ms father, Pedro Mallgni. - Had they been leas faithful or less fortunate In their Journey, she. Margaret, wonld not be sitting there In the castle of Mekaiien at that moment. For Sefior Pedro Ma llgni would not have been able to band the 107 orer to his mends. Doctor and Mrs. Markings, her par ' exits, to take home to England with them. : What ghastly Ures these natlTe . women led, eren those ot the ruling lasses. Something of a heroine this poor Lady El Isa Beth el Aln. Fancy seeing one's adored husband ' two or three times a year, and one's dored child once In two or three rears and that, after a separation In which he had changed from s hhlld to a youth. How had she refrained from kill ing this Zalnub who bad killed her happiness 1 Doubtless ber English descent would bare something to do with It That and fear ot the terrible Abd'allah Karlm. Does not the Koran say that wo olen, camels, and cattle are Allah's gifts to menf And there were those two women sitting side by side, in apparent am ity and peace, with all that behind them! sitting like two European jelsters-in-law at a garden-party on the rectory lawn. But, after all, their mutual atti tude was but an exaggeration of that of Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Jones when the former says ot the latter: "Here comes that appalling cat Bow I do loathe the woman, and. rising, kisses her fondly upon the heek. . . . Poor El Isa Beth el Aln, traglo daughter ot a traglo mother, with ber thin lined face record of a life-time of suffering and sorrow. How pathetically happy she was In this brief Interlude, this rare ex perience, ot having both her hus band and her son. Margaret glanced at Befior Pedro Mallgni, 'at sallow and no, she must be strictly Just If she couldn't be generous not greasy. He dldnt look greasy at all, but he most cer tainly looked what ha was, distinct ly cosmopolitan, not to say cross bred. She must conquer this unreason ing distrust of SeOor Pedro Ma ' Ugnl, and accept his paternal kisses -with . . . with . . ,T Well, endeavor to "suffer them gladly," or pre tend to. At the moment he was obviously more Interested In tbe girl Bara than In herself or his wife who watohed him so hungrily, much as Sara watched Jules. What a family circle! Did ever an English girl drop straight Into a stranger one or, Indeed, Into a tranger placet The Lady El Isa Beth el Aln paced the Trim stone cell that waa ber boudoir like a caged tigress, as she had done almost daily for more years than sbe could count more years than she wished to remem ber. In that gaunt room which, volun tarily, she ha made ber prison, sbe had grown from girlhood to middle age and, for a quarter ot a century, bad wrestled with devils and fought with beasts: the devils ot murder, treachery and vice; the beasts ot cruelty, savagery and hate. With amaslng oourage she had fought her half-brother tor himself, Cought to save blm from himself; bad fought for tbe life of ber baby against Zalnub. his wife: hsd fought against Intrigue unceasing, for tbe nccess of ber husband. For years, during tbe period of Ealnub'a Insane Jealousy, she had tasted no food that a faithful slave woman bad not cooked there In that room. Life had been hard after the brief delirium ot ber marriage with Pe dro, and the golden Joy ot mother hoodthose glorious days befors the coming ot tbe Lady Zalnub when ber baby had filled her lite, and she bad been mistress ot Mekatsen and Phoenix Grange Meets Tuesday PHOENIX. Feb. as. (6pl) -Regular seml-montbly meeting of the Phoenix Orange will be bald on Tuesday night. Four members will be Initiated In the third and fourth 3j r LOOK FOR THE RED TAPE OPENER the Raid's wood angel, her baby, bis plaything and his heir. Pedro bad come more often then, before busi ness In Europe and Tangier had be come so ever-increasing and Impor tant Yes, those had been hard days, be fore Zalnub bad aged and mellowed, and before she had come to realize that neither she nor her son Ralsul had anything to fear from the Lady El Isa Beth el Aln, or from her child. The woman had been an Incar nate Jealousy In those days, and It was a marvel that she had not suc ceeded In one of her many attempts to kill both lier and the child Jules. And here was Jules returned. child grown Into a man, and bring ing, to see his mother, tbe English girl, his wife. Her husband, her son, and her self, together nnder tbe same roof the roof beneath which sbe and Pedro had spent their honeymoon, and Jules had been born. Why bad Jules brought this Eng lish girl? As she had done so many thou sand times before, the Lady El Isa Beth el Ala stood still as a statue, looking, with unseeing eyes, across the desert plain which three hun dred feet below the little stone bal cony that clung like a swallow's nest to the wall of this great castle built upon tbe edge ot a great rock stretched shimmering to tbe far horizon. Why had he brought this aln- and-wblte, beautiful English girl, who so reminded her ol her own mother, Elizabeth Elaine TorsonT Could not Jules have come to see bis mother the mother who had cut her very life In halves :o save him, and wbo bad so yearned for blm all these years without bringing M-otber woman with him? Why bring her here at all. In any case? But doubtless young headstrong love would account for that But bad he told the girl every thing? Did she know why he was here? How mueh had Jules told the girl of Pedro's business? And war she to b trusted? Was she such a one as would deny herself; sitter; give up everything; run every risk; in trigue and plot and lie and kill; In the Interests ot ber lord and mas ter, as sbe herself had done for Pedro? ' And suppose the girl knew noth ing at all, and were merely Jules' doll? What would she do, as reali zation dawned upon her that the date of her return to England in deed, ber return to England at all was vague and problematical. A thousand pities that the boy should complicate matters and add to bis difficulties, not only by marrying tbts girl, but by bringing her with him. And did be quite or Pedro either for that matter understand young Ralsul? She thought not She feared not That young Ralsul, If her opinion were worth anything and it cer tainly ought to be- worth something on that subject was a young devil, If Indeed, he were not the Devil himself. Incarnate. She might be an old woman (of forty I) who bad practically lived ber life in tbe castle of Mekaszen, but she knew what she knew, and It her knowledge were not wide, it was deep; and one of the things she knew was the character, Intelligence, mode ot thought and future line of con duct of these people among whom she had lived and in whose hands her life hv. precariously been. Tbls Ralsul sbe bad watched from babyhood until be had gone away to France, and she knew him for what he as, the cleverest wicked est and cruelest Moor ot them all, utterly unscrupulous, utterly con scienceless, and utterly without fear ot God or man or beast or devil. He was his father's son m oourage and cruelty anc strength; his mothers son In force and sub tlety; and with a cleverness all his own, polished and sharpened and enhanced by education, travel, and experience. Let Jules beware ot Ralsul, and when the time came for the Kald to be gathered to his fathers, let Pedro beware ot RalauL From babyhood his mothsr, Zal nub, had poisoned his mind against Jules and Pedro, and though Ralsul hod far outgrown his mother's nar row teaching, and was outwardly and apparently the good friend ot his cousin Jules, what Is engraved upon the mind of tbe child remains upon the mind ot tbe man. Ralsul would remain the good friend of Jules and ot Pedro, Just as long as they were useful to him. tCoeyrlght. Itlt. r. A. Btokei Co.)
