RAI8UL IN LOVE
JULES!
"Is that you. Julu?" gald Mar
garet, confused, suddenly awakened
from Bleep by a alight Bound In the
pitch-dark room for nowadays Bbe
lept as lightly as a mouse or a bird.
"Who's ther? Is that you, Jules?"
.repeated Margaret, wondering
whether she had been mistaken.
. She had retired to rest In the great
atone turret-room, leaving Jules
smoking with his father, Ralsul, the
Kald and the curious man whom
Pedro Mallgnl addressed aa Kerr
Schlacht although Jules had told
her that he was a German officer,
Ober-Leutnant Carl von Mlttengen.
' There bad been cognac Algerian
jClaret, and assorted French liqueurs
on the low table In the tiled garden.
There was someone In the room I
ind Jules had flatly refused to leave
the party when she had suggested re
tiring. , It seemed, nowadays, that he was
carrying his principle ot ''When In
Rome, do as the Romans do" alto
gether too far, and enlarging It to
"When In Romo, make your wife do
as the Romans' wives do." But there
she had drawn a Very Arm line. Be
cause she wsi In Morocco, she was
not going to behave aa a Moorish
woman, 1
There was someone In the room', . .
Margaret felt for - the box ot
matches which should be on the
tool beside her low uncomfortable
bed. . .
"Would you mind answering,
Jules?" she said, with some asper
ity. " 'Frald he oan't answer," said a
voice, "he'a er speechless."
Ralsul.
' "D'you mean he's HIT Have yon
come for met What's happened?"
cried Margaret, sitting up. "Where
are the matches?"
"No, I wouldn't say he's 111," re
plied Ralsul, "but I think he will be,
tomorrow. At the moment he's very
drunk Indeed. Speechless, aa I said.
As to whether I've come for yon , , .
Well, I've certainly come for a talk
with you, my dear, A conclusive one
with no tnterrupt'ons.
' "I'm going to finish what I began
laying In England, and what you've
contrived to prevent my saying, on
numerous occasions, here. And final
ly, as to the matches, I've go: them."
"do out of my room, .instantly.
m . . . rii . . ."
"In tact, 'Unhand me, monster,
aid the village maiden to the il
lain,' " continued the cool and mock
ing voice. "Or you'll do what? Just
what will you do?"
"My husband will..."
"He won't Don't you think It my
dear. In point of fact, your husband
wilt do exactly as I tell him, for our
good Jules knows on which side his
bread Is buttered. He also knows
that some quite funny and amusing
things happen In this rlace.

"He knows, too, that be Is not
really persona grata with the Lady
Zalnub, and that It both she and 1
became two minds with but a single
thought well, you'd soon be a sin-,
gle woman again. Wouldn't that be
nice? Pot ydu know you don't love
him, Margaret. And surely you must
be deadly bored with him by now?"
Springing from the bed, Margaret
seized her dressing-gown which lay
upon the foot of It, threw It round
her, and slipped her feet Into the
mules which lay beside the bed.
"Have you gone completely mad?"
she asked, facing about, to where,
between her and the balcony, the fig
ure of Ralsul loomed dark against
the starlit sky.
"Completely mad," replied Ralsul.
"Mad for love of you; love at first
sight. I saw you at noon on a day In
May, and I loved you at a minute
past noon on that day, desperately,
devotedly, madly, as you say. I
loved you then, 1 have loved you
every .hour of tbe day and the night
since then. I lore you now, and I
shall love you every hour of the day
and the night until I die. And then
In Paradise or Heaven or Hell I
shall still love yon for the whole of
that Eternal Day or Night I tell
you ..."
'Would you kindly tell me. In
stead, where my husband Is?" Inter-
rupted Margaret, lolly.' "And I'll tell
him something. I'll tell him to give
you the finest horse-whipping that
ever a gentleman gave a cad."
Ralsul laughed lightly.
"My dear, the poor Jules couldn't
understand you, tor he's far too
drunk. And If he were sober he
wouldn't understand you, for ho's
tar too wise. He realizes, as you're
going to do, that there's no law hare
except mine; there are no police
oicopt nil no: no friends except
mine; no servants except mine; no
transport except mine; no weap
one except mine; no food or water
oxcept mine no hope o;copt In
me.
"For the Kald, my father, rules In
Mekazzen as Allah rules In Paradise
-and I rule the Kald."
"And you call yourself a gentle
man and you ..."
Ralsul laughed again.
"Not a bit ot It my darling. I call
myself a man." he Interrupted, "and
I pay you the compliment of calling
you a woman fit to be the mate, and.
If you like, the wife, ot such a man."
Margaret gasped,
"I can only suppose that you've
been drinking, too," she said, en
deavurlng to control her voice.
"Deen drinking! No, I'm drinking
now, the sound of your voice,- the
fragrance ot your presence." and
Ralsul strode toward the spot where
Margaret stood,
"That's what I am drinking, Mar
