How do you know that " ba . . . r "Ah!" And Herr Schl&cbt wagged a tout forefinger at Margaret. "You appeal to your husband for help then?" "How do you know he ... t" "Ah I ... I watch our friend Rat sul like mouse watches cat; I see his llddle game to make the young Herr rer" drunk, and when rapa Mallgnl say, "1 am' llddle tlpslsb, but this naughty boy rer tipsy, help me put him In my room so as not to shock nlze llddle Angllsch wife,' I say, "Ja, in. Ver" foot, and then I come back and watch Ralsul. And my serrant; who looks like rer1 stu pid Moor and Is ver" olever Arab, watch too. Bo I know." Margaret felt a strong Inclination to sit down. "I fink you rer brave girl, and t admire, respectfully much. Ver brave, rer clerer. Look see, I am not what you call lu your peautlful language dam-flirt. Isn't It? Lady- kisser ... no, lady-killer, Isn't It? I hat dearly-beloved wife whom I dearly belove, God bless, waiting for me at my home. So I only ad mire most respectful, and wish to help. And you help me. You tell mo all flags you know, and I be your friend. No? Isn't It?" "What sort of things?" "Joost anyt'lng that habbens in this Castle; anyt'lng you hear that the Kaid is going to do, or anyt'lng you hear Pedro Mallgnl is going to do, or the good Rklsul." "They are hardly likely to consult me, or Inform me beforehand, are they?" . "No, no. But they may consult the young Herr Jules, your husband, or Inform him beforehand, and bo might tell you." "Do you think It likely I should repeat to you anything that my hus band told ma of other people's af fairs?" "Yes; it It were mora better so for your husband and for you. and If, In return for what you have told me, I have told you t'lngs useful; perhaps to save yourself, perhaps to save the life of the young Herr Jules, "And pray how should his life be In danger?" "Everyone's life here Is In dan ger. The Kald and Ralsul from the French and Spaniards, whom they will defy and fight; Herr Pedro and Herr Jules from Ralsul and the Lady Zalnub, If they offend espe cially Herr Jules, It the Lady Zal nub t'tnk parhabs he kill Ralsul or the Kald himself. "My life la In danger, If all I promise does not habben, or It other Government send other emissary, ' and ha t'lnk 1 am In the way; or perhaba Moorish officers get Jealous If Kald put me over them, and listen to ne In council. "Even ladles' llfes In danger; Lady El Iss Beth el Aln, It Zalnub got Jealous about all Mallgnl fami ly; Lady Zalnub herself. If Kald say, " 'Time I get new wife, this pat tern old-fashioned. Sara latost model.' "Sara's life In danger, it Lady Kalnub say. "'I must keep her a good girl; the only good girls are dead girls.' " In spite of herself, Margaret mlled, and against reason and cir cumstance, she Instinctively and In tuitively liked and trusted this mating person, whose knowledge was phenomenal, uncanny, and whose observations woreaa disturb ing as they were convincing. "And I t'lnk," continued Herr Echlach. "that, apart from wicked ness of Ralsul, the Ufa of yourself may be in danger." "Ob, what nonsensel" expostu lated Margaret, "I never heard such a lot of absurd rubbish and . . ." "Look you, my dear young lady, you are not now In London, or green peaceful English country. You are In place uncivilized, and among peo ple barbarous, where might la right, und there la no law hut will and desire. Joost that much law. And 11 man's motto la 'What man dares, ha may da "So I t'lnk, I tear, you yourseir lite Is In danger, from Jealousy." "And who on earth should be Jealous of me?" asked Margaret. You are a Dismal Jimmy, Herr Schlacht" "No. Never am I a Jimmy Dismal, Frfiuleln. Always I laugh, out loud or In myself. I am Joost foony fat German. And laugh behind what you call in your peautlful language, 'poker-face.' But I do not laugh when I fink your life In danger from Jealousy. Jealousy of girl Sara." "What?" "Jealous; of girl Sara who par habs much lot Herr Jules. Jealousy of Lady El Isa Beth el Aln who do not like Angllsch girl coming here and perhabs taking her Jules back again to England. Jealousy of Lady Zalnub ..." "Now that la absurd, It all the rest wasn't." "Jealousy of Lady Zalnub," re peated Herr Schlacht lmperturba biy, "who la ver Jealous ot Influence ot Herr Pedro over the Kald, and perhaps ver" Jealous ot Influence of Herr Jules over Ralsul. And perhabs ver Jealous It she sees Ralsul going In lot with peautlful Engllscb girl." Margaret forced a laugh. "So, look you, my dear young lady, do you not fink that It will be goot to have a friend a friend who can warn and help an ally who never would be drunk wben most need wu for help, and . . ." "Don't talk to ma like that, please," Interrupted Margaret, with asperity, and coloring hotly. "It was the first time that my husband ever . . . Mind your own business, please. I don't believe that my husband waa . . . I believe that cur Ralsul put some beastly filthy drug In his cof fee, or wine, or ..." "The first time?" roplied Herr Schlacht, with ralaed eyebrows. "And suppose Ralsul did do this? What about the next time and the next?" The color drained away from Margaret's face as she reallzod that the events ot last night whatever their cause might happen any night, every night Suppose they occurred again and again. Suppose anything happened to Jules and she were alone In this terrible place, "Look you, young lady," contin ued Kerr Schlacht "What are the peautlful t'lngs ot life? Love, health, peace, friendship. 1 would put friendship among the best peautlful t'lngs ot life. Let you yourself and 1 myself be friends, and help each other. As I tell you already, never will I offend or ba prasumlsh and famllla., like klss-llzard and dirt hound and lounge-pig, because I am trustable shentleman, and lot my wife too. All I want Is to help, and be your true friend. "And," added Herr Schlacht "tor you to help and be my true friend." "Of course 1 should like a helpful friend," said Margaret, "but I'm cer tainly not going to repeat to you anything that my husband tells ma In confidence, nor am I going to re peat other people'! conversation. I'm not spy." "No. you are not a spy," agreed Herr Schlacht "but women hava done some wonderful or what shall I call It some wonderful so oret service work. It Is ver' fine serv ice, rer Interesting. Fine, interest ing work for brave clever girl: what you call romantic, thrilling, full ot adventure and experience." 'It one were working tor one'a own country, In time of war," agreed Margaret "In the official se cret service. Not as a spy, though." "Some girls have done wonderful work tor their country, as spies," observed Herr Schlacht "As valua ble as the work ot great generals. "But your country Is not much In terested here now," he continued. "since it made agreement with France that England would leave Morocco alone. If France left Egypt alone ... So you oould not do any t'lng tor your own country here." "I shall have enough to do to look after myselt here, apparently," aald Margaret "But you might for another coun try." Herr 8chlacht said. "That country might be ver glad to have you in Its secret service, and ba glad to offer you rewards and hon ors. It you served It well." "What country?" asked Margaret "My country," was the reply. "The country whom I serve here." "What exactly are you doing here?" asked Margaret "Since we are being so personal," she added. (Copyrtoht. till, r. A.
