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

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.
