BYNOPSIB: Margaret Mallgnl.
distrustful of Jules, Iter husband,
and frightened by the advances of
KoUul. son ot the Kald ol Uekas
sen, receives an offer of help from
Uerr Schlacht. 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.

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."
