del ot Mekasten. there are personal
feuds. The Until ot Mekaxxen,
Ralsul hie eon, and Major Napoleon
Rlccoli ot the foreign Legion,
camped not tar aujag. conduct the
chief intrigue. Beneath the sur
face there ie the love ot Raisul tor
Julee mtallgni' English wite Mar-
Saret. Attcr getting Julee drunk,
alsul frightens Margaret bv en
tering her room. Jules' mother, to
whom Margaret telle the incident, is
furious at Margaret tor protesting,

room.
Chapter 2
RAISUL'S FUN
"jjOW ' 5,011 mow n9 threat-
ened to ahoot him?" Julei de
manded ot hla mother.
"She told me so herself."
"Well, then, presumably she told
roa why."
"Why? You know, Raleul; you
know what this Ralsul Is. Finding
her alone and knowing the state you
were In. he thought he'd have some
" lun."
"Fuur
"What he calle fun."
"Yes, but surely that' for
the swllt smack, the slap that
brings the blusb of shame to the
cheek of naughtiness. Murgaret'a
an English girl, and they don't go
about shooting wayward young men
rery much. What did happen?
"Oh, she'll tell you, no doubt, and
make a mighty story of It Proba
bly try to give you the Impression
that she had a desperate struggle
with Ralsul and that the only pos
sible thing now la for you to kill
him, to avenge your honor or some
hysterical rubbish of that sort."
"That's absurd, of course, but . .
well . , . It's a bit difficult. Ralsul
mustn't annoy her, and If ah really
threatened to shoot him he must
have annoyed her badly. It's a bit
awkward."
"Very awkward. Ob, m7 son
why on earth did you marry an
Englishwoman when you knew
that you would come and Join your

waa ripe? ... Bo unsuitable . . . only
an additional expense and rospon-
lblllty and anxiety. Now, a girl
like this Sara, a girl ot the country.

Jules Mallgnl laughed.
"You may laugh at me, my son,
but I Implore you to heed what 1
aay."
"Well, what do you say, Lady
Macbeth?"
"I say thla: your wife must not
offond Ralsul with her alra and
graces."
"But suppose Ralsul offendB Mar
garet?
"Then one ot two things; aho
must not take offense or ahe must
go"
"Go where? You don't mean go
to Heaven, do you?"
"It's aald to be a good plaoa for
saints," replied El lea Both el Aln
dryly. "But I did not mean Heaven.
She could go back to England."
"I can't go back to England now.
rather and I are . . .
"I did not say you, my son. I said
your wife. Since ahe finds Ralsul's
nonsense ao shocking she baa 1
simple remedy she can go away;
ahe can go back to England In
theory until you rejoin her. If she
(eta tired ot waiting there for yon,
he can come back again, and see
bow Ralsul behaves then.
"Why can't women help their hus
bands Instead ot hindering them?'
he added angrily. "Help them aa
I've helped mine at any cost,"
"Youre different, dear. You
"Yes, very ulfferont I put my
buaband'a Interests and welfare
let alone hla life before a silly
trine like a kiss."
"Yea, I aald you're different from
Margaret."
"Very well. let thla different wo
man go back to her own country."
"And what about me?"
"Yea, and what about you and
your father, not to mention your
mother It the girl refuses to go,
and also refuses to be friendly with
Halsul?"
"Oh Lord," groaned Jules. "Per
feet little headache-cure, aren't yon?
Better than three aspirins and a cup
of oolteo, any day.
"I'll have both, 1 think," he added.
"So you beetle off, and make me a
oup, strong and black and about a
pint of It. Beetle oft, Mother, and
let Sara bring IL"
And having forestalled her
daughter-in-law, and aown certain
eoda In her aon'a mind ' the Lady
El Isa Beth el Aln "beetled' off.
Meauwuile MargA et, sick with
Indignation, fear, anger, resent
ment, and a terrible sense of help
less loneliness, passed a bad hour.
Had her Intuition been right
when ahe first became engaged to
Jules, and ws there a yellow streak
In hla character? She bad told him,
at the time, that she dl " not love
him, and had talked about a twelve
months' engagement.
Here Margarot pulled herself up
aharply, once again.
Whoever he waa, and whatever he
waa, she had married him of her own
free will, and with her eyes open
and ahe would make the best oi It
He was her huBband, and ahe would
make the best ot him.
If he were weak, ahe must try and
strengthen him; and II Morocco had
a bad effect upon him, ahe must get
htm out ot the country, ana never
let him come back to It
And, In any case, they must get
out ot this horrible place. It waa
like living In the Tower ot London
In the days ot Richard the Third, or
Henry the Eighth.
And meanwhile what to do? How
to find Jules?
How long had she been In this
beastly room? And what would
happen It she merely aat tight? El
Isa Beth el Aln her mother-ln-lawl
bad simply Bald, "If you insist on
remaining In this room, I'll leave
It"
Another hour passed, and a gnaw
ing hunger was added to Margarot'i
other troubles.
If she grew tired ot waiting, and
went away, would ahe be re-ad-mltted
If ahe returned?
On the other hand, ahe would look
rather foolish It she merely sat
there suffering a solt-lnfllcted Im
prisonment She waa being absurd.
Everybody had treated be.- perfectly
kindly, and ahe bad had nothing
whatever of wblcb to complain
save for Ralsul'a Incredible mad
ness of last night
Of course this woman El lea Beth
el Aln was bitterly Jealous ot her,
but surely ahe would' do her own
son'a wife no harm, nqr pormlt any
body else to Injure her?
Anyhow, this was no good.
Springing up, Margaret went to
the outer door and hammered upon
It, as EI Isa Beth el Aln had told her
to do. Almost at once the heavy
lock was turned, a big bolt with
drawn, and the door opened by
Hassan el MiBkoen.
I want to And my husband, the
Sldl Jules Mallgnl," ahe said: re-
neated the tatemont in French, and
attempted It ln'a shocking Jargon of
Spanish and Arabic, as she realized
that It was a waste of time to ad
dress this dirty old man In English
or French.
Hassan el .vtlsltoon, smiling pleas
antly, ahook his head and then,
opening widely a cavernous mouth,
made patont the fact that he had
no tongue.
Margarot shuddered, pushed past
him, and rushed down the corridor.
turned to the right at the end of It.
and tried to remember whether the
turning that she should take out it
this passago was the third or fourth
on the left, or 'he second or third on
the right
She could try both aides, and It
one passage did not lead her to the
stairs, another would. ,
The second on the right seemed
familiar, and yes, there were the
steep, worn stone atepx that led
down to the Inner court-yard which
was the garden and place of recre
ation. .
But no, thla waa wrong. There
should be three (lights ot stairs, and
she had only come down two flights.
Should ahe go back, or follow thla
gloomy tunnel-like passage In search
ot another doecondlng flight of stops,
and If so, should alio turn to the left
or to the right?
Well, ahe could explore In both
directions, and return to these steps,
If she did not find the othur flight
that aha must descend to get down
to the courtyard.
She must not get lost, and aha
must not ylold to panic. She must
remember that she was an English
girl, staying with her husband In the
house where his parents dwelt. She
must fight against this foolisb fear,
this ldlotlo feeling tba ahe was
caught trapped, and In some hide
ous danger,
Turning the corner at the end ot
the passage, " Margaret stopped.
What waa that sound?
Had somebody coughed or spoken,
or dropped aomothlngV
Or had It been the sound ot a tool
step?
