Ostensibly Bchlacht represents Ocrmanv In an Intrigue with the Raid against France. Jules and his father are the Raid's agents, but they secretly vlot vtith Bohlarht against him. The ancient Moorish citadel Is a welter of In trigue, and Uargaret Is Bnolish, and lonely to this barbarous land. Chapter U t JULES RETURNS FRIGHTENED, unhappy and puz zled as Margaret was when she reached her room, her mental con dition did not Improve aa ahe aat and waited for her husband and tried to some to a decision as to what It would be best to tell him. And should she say anything at all about her meeting with the German .officer? Perhaps It would be as well to make no reference to him, lnas lmucb as ahe had tacitly agreed to regard what he had said as confiden tial. It would be rather foolish and pointless to say to Jules, ! "I met Berr Schlacht and had a chat with him, but cannot ropeat our conversation to yon." Besides, the whola Incident was ptterly Insignificant In oomparlson for drink. In all the years that you've known me?" "No, 1 haven't, Jules, until we came to Morocco. Kou'ia been drinking far more than la good tor you, for the last six months It seems like six years. But I have not seen you drunk." Gently ahaklng his head, Jules smiled reproachfully. "And you really did not get drunk last night, Jules?" Jules again smiled reproachfully, and treated the question as un worthy of further answer. "Very well then," continued Mar garet. "You must have been drugged deliberately aa 1 hoped and knew." "You hoped and knew I should be drugged?" "I didn't say that On hearing that you were Insensible, speech less, apparently dead drunk. 1 hoped that you had been drugged. I knew you had been drugged. I was cer tain you had not merely made a boast of yourself." "Thank you," interupted Jules Ma Ugni with a hint of sarcasm. "Very kind of you." "Well, kindness Is a virtue," he continued, as Margaret, white-faced and big-eyed, watched bin. with In tent anxiety, "and virtue Is its own reward. - You have It for I exer cised exactly the same virtue ol "I'm terribly sorry," Jules began. irith the other matter of which she oust speak. At the end of one of the longest snd unhapplest days ot her life, Margaret's husband knockod at the bolted door ot Margaret's room, and, protesting surprise at finding the door bolted and barred against him, was admitted after satisfying her as to his Identity. Jocular, facetious, flamboyant, endeavoring to hide lack ot ease by falsa and noisy easiness, and to conceal consciousness ot wrong-doing by exaggerated demonstrative ness, Jules Mallgnl found his wife In no mood tor the reception of forced humor or forced affection. " Aa he advanced to put bis arms about her, he found himself coolly, firmly, and very definitely, checked and repulsed. Exporting fierce an ger, accusation, and a torrent of re proach, be tound an attitude ot calm, cool seriousness and deter mination, that was more disturb ing. Rightly or wrong, be firmly be lieved. In the light of a not exigu ous experience, that the best way to argue with an angry woman was with a olosed mouth pressed firm ly against hers; and that any of fended girl can be quickly kissed from bad temper Into good temper. But thla was not an angry and bad-tempered woman. It waa a woman cruelly hurt, bad ly frightened, and quite dotermlnod upon her line ot conduct. "I say, I'm terribly sorry about last night," he began, as Margaret's extended hand repulsed his em brace. "1 don't know what they gave me, but one minute I was sit ting there chatting with Dad and the Kald and old Schlacht and Ralsul and the next minute 1 woke up In Dad'a room, hours later, and absolutely blotto." - "Toll me, Jules. Did you got drunk? Just be terpen and tell me tbe truth, because It's most terribly Important I won't say a word of reproach." "Drunk, my dear, on a glass or two of :laret? You don't think my head's as weak as all that, do yon? Have you ever seen me drunk, or In the slightest degree the worse kindness toward you. Both of us kind, and both of us, rewarded." "I was going to say you show your kindness In a curloiu manner, Jules, In leaving me alone here all night, but ot course It wasn't your fault . It was my misfortune. But it mustn't happen again, Jules. You mustn't leave me alone ajaln, while we're here. And we mustn't be here a day longer than Is absolutely nec essary for making preparations for the Journey." "Why this sudden fear ot being alone, and this unrest?" "I should be afraid to be left alone again as I was last night because of Ralsul." "Ah!" obsorved Julos non-com-mittnlly. "Look bore, Jules, you know Ralsul proposed to me at Oxford the day after he first met me." "Yes." "And you know that he then pro fessed to be dosporately and madly In love with me." "Yes." "He hasn't got over It; or he thinks be hasn't" "I'm sure he hasn't my dear. Who would? And be and I are not the only ones, either, are we?" "Then since he hasn't Jules and you admit that he hasn't too must surely understand. . . ." "Understand what?" "Understand why 1 won't be left alone again, and why I want to leave here at the earllosl possible moment Understand why 1 hoped you were drugged, and not drunk, lrfst night" "Oh, come, you exaggerate, my dear. Young Rnlsul's' calf-love. . . ." "Can be a great nuisance," In terrupted Margaret "Life Is full of nuisances," shrugged Jules Mallgnl. "Well, my life waa rather over full of this particular nulsanco last night" "How do you mean?" "ItnlBtil came up here and pes tered me." "When?" "When you were . . . when he had drugged you." 0"i.
