Chapter 21 MARGARET PERPLEXED AS MARGARET approached the beavy Iron-studded gardon-loor at the toot ot tbe staircase that led up to the apartmenta ot the Lady El .ba Beth el Aln, who was also the fienora Mallgnl, an old man, clad In dirty hooded cloak, rose from the great squared stone that was at once a mounting-block and a door step. . "I want to see . . ." began Mar caret, and, as the man shook bis bead, realized that It was useless to peak to him In Engi" -J iuirc . . end again the man shook Ms head, and, with up lifted out-s:r-U hariii, signed tc her to star where she was, while with the other he pointed first to himself and then to the stairs. In the shadow ot the rest wall ot the courtyard, Margaret waited on til Bassen el Mlskeen, reappear Inc. beokoned to her to come with him. Followed by Margaret, the door keeper climbed threeateep flights ot stairs and traversed several dark and airless stone corridors. At another heavy Iron-studded door he halted, unfastened It, pushed It open and held aside a heavy curtain tor Margaret to en ter. The conversation that ensued was difficult and unsatisfactory, both by reason of the ladles' lack ot proficiency In one of their mu tual languageswhich were Bng-llah-and French and by reason of what Margaret considered the other's unreasonable attitude. "Yes, my son jults Is here," Mar- : caret understood her to say In her curious English and still more ' faulty French. "He Is 111 very 111. It 'i your fault If he could ha stayed with me, be would never bave learnt these nasty foreign hab its. And why are you so cold! And why are you no' obedient to Jules, as a good wife should always be to ber husband t" In English where she could, and In French where she must. Mar garet endeavored to point out that It was only when he bad returned to his own oountry that Jules had developed bad habits, and that In England he had oeen as abstemious as the average English gentleman and had never, on any occasion, so far as she knew, drunk more than was good tor him. Whereat the mother shrugged and looked sceptical. Nor should JDI Isa Beth el Ala forget that she too had English blood In her veins, and that an Eng lish wits held a position very dif ferent from that of an Arab wife. They were not slaves, and It was not expected ot them that they should be unquestlonlngly obedient to their husbands, They were their busband's partners, friends and quels not thel' chattels. "Jules Is not my master." "Isn't he your husband? Aren't you married I" "Yes, he Is my husband." "Very well, then . . . t" "In any case," Margaret pointed out, "there Is no question of my leaving my husband. I'm not talk Ins of leaving here alone. Jules will accompany me, ot course. We only came here on a visit." "A visit," smiled El lsa Beth el Aln. "Apparently Jules doesn't tell yon as much as he tells his mother. It will be a long visit" "Whyr. "WhyT Because this Is bis home, or. at any rate, Morocco Is bis home. Be has got to corns Into bis father's business and that Is here In Mesas en and Tangier, and sometimes In Gibraltar where my mother came from, and In Maisellles." "I am certainly not going to lve to. Morocco," -aid Margaret "Then It's a pity you married a man who Is." "yes." El lsa Beth el Aln shrugged elo quent shoulders. "Anyhow," said Margaret "I will see Jules now." "He Is sleeping. He Is very 111." "All the more reason why i should be with him. It he la 111, 1 am the proper person to nurss blm." "Mothers sometimes make good ones. 1 will nurse him." AGRICULTURE SUPPLY BILL GETS SIGNATURE WASHINGTON, March . (AP) President Hoover today signed the fifth of the major appropriations bills for the next fiscal year, plec. lug his signature upon the S100. 000.000 department of agriculture supply but Valiant Dust by Percival Christopher Wren ttAu'cOTE- 'I'll nelp you then, smiled - garet diplomatically. "Sara Is helping me," was the re ply. "Look here," said Margaret an grlly, rising from the divan. "This Is all nonsense. Where's my bus band! I'm going to blm now. I In sist" The Lady El Isa Beth el Aln smiled tolerantly. "People don't Insist here, my child," she said. "No one does thai except the Kald or Zalnub ana Ralsul through the Kald. Insist!' repeated El Isa Beth el Aln, and laughed gently. "Where Is Julost" asked Mar garet fighting back a slowly rising tide of fear, cold and horrible. 'Up here. In my husband s bed room." "Where's Miatr "Through there," replied El lsa Beth el Aln, pointing to a small door in a Moorish horse-shoe set ting, opposite to the one by which she bad entered. Without further remark. Mar garet ran to the door, only to And It entirely devoid of any kind ol handle, latch, belt or keyhole and entirely Immovable. Having pushed with all ber strength, and thrown bersell against the door as heavily as sfce could, Margaret rushed across to the other one, determined to find s way round. Pulling back the cur tain that bung on the Inner aide ol the thick wall, ehe tried to open the door. This also was Immovable, presumably locked from without Hammering upon the heavy mass of wood, endeavoring to shake It Margaret realized that she was panic-stricken; tba. the cold tide ot fear was rising higher and higher. This would not do. She must not lose control. Paolo was never any good to anybody. She must be cool, and wary, and hrave. She turned back Into the room. "Is this a trap?" she said. "A trap?" smiled El Isa Beth el Aln. "Ot course It's not. Don't be so absurd. You came here of your own tree will, and you can go when ever you like." "Jump over that balcony, do you mean?" asked Margaret. "It you wish. But It would be pleasanter to give the signal to Hassan el Mlskeen that we want the door open. You knock .wlce quickly and three times slowly, and hard, for Hassan Is getting a little deaf and might not bear knuckles. Use the handle of that dagger." And El Isa Beth el Aln pointed to where, on a table, lay a large dagger with hilt and sheath ol heavy cut steel, the top of the han dle flattened out Into the shape ot an open fan, and the end ot the sheath curved sharply round In a small semi-circle. Mnrgaret picked up the dagger. "Thank you," she said. "Could you give me this? Might I take It with me?" "Certainly, Souvenir to take home when you go." Margaret hung In doubt for a moment and then came to a de cision. "I'll tell you something," she said, "and then perhaps you'll under stand If you didn't before why 1 Insist on being with my husband. "Last night, knowing that my husband was not there, Ralsul came to my bedroom and Insulted me unbelievably, unspeakably. . , Made love to me. ..." "Ralsul did?" "Yes, Ralsul." "He made love to you?" "Insulted me, 1 sold. Told me that he loved me, and that he . , ." "Only told you?" "Only? Yes." "How did you get rid ot him, then?" "It was quite dark in the room, and 1 told blm 1 would shoot him If be did not go. I pretended I had a pistol. Could I get one?" "No, you couldn't And yaa'd bet ter not take last knife If you're thinking of stabbing Ralsul." "Thinking -t subbing blm? Ol oourse I'd stab him or anybody else wbo came Into my room in the night and . . ." "Well, you'd better stab anyone else, then. Don't stab Ralsul, unless you want to suffer a more terrible death than yon can Imagine, The Kald would . . ." "I'd rathor suffer the terrible death." "And Jules? And his father, my husband? And L bis mother? Are we all to die, because you're a silly English Miss, oold and flat and skinny? Can't yon take a Joke?" iCtfrfl', IMS. . A.
