"CHE'S not likely to see blm, her
elf," observed Jules. "Damn
the swine."
"Of coarse not" replied Ralsul.
"Private soldiers won't do much
wandering about in our part ot the
Citadel, nor Is the likely to go
prowling in the outer court-yards.
01 course she won't see him. And
mind you don't say anything. In
fact, make It certain you don't go
and let It out when you've been
thirst-quenching by keeping away
from Margaret.
"Don't be alone with her at all,
d'you understand?" continued Ral
sul. "Your mother will give you a
home from home tor a ton nights
and If you should get a fever, or
anything, Sara will look after you.
Have a drink? Yob? Right And
"Now we will open our
yon leave the' good Otho Belleme
to me. And Margaret D'you un
derstand?" -:
Ralsul clapped his hands.
"Ho, Achmet," he smiled, "bring
brandy and cigarettes for the Sldl'
Meanwhile the young gentleman's
father, the Kald Abd'allah Karlm,
attended by his ha)tb, his chamber
lain, his confidential scribe Abu
Tallb Zerhoun, and hla Strong Man
bodyguard Ibrahim the Uon, gave
audience to his distinguished visitor
the Major Napoleon Rlccoll.
Graolously the Great Kald poured
libation ot milk in sign ot wel
come, protection and hospitality.
Gravely they drank ceremonial
mlnt-toa and talked of horses.
"You must see my private stables,
Sldl Officer," sold the Kald, beaming
graciously upon the man whom ho
was summing up with the shrewd
cleverness, the deep and wide ex
perience, that so seldom led him
stray.
The eyes of the Secretary met
those ot the Chamberlain, and nei
ther smiled.
"Now what color are the horses
ot the troop of Arab Spahls who,
later on, will join the Sldl here?"
asked the Kald suddenly,
"Bay," replied Rlccoll. "At least
It was a bay troop when it left the
regiment"
"Bay horses. Good. I am glad
they are not roan, for roan horses
are never swift Nor yellow, for yel
low horses are St only tor outcasts.
"I must give the Sldl a bay horse
from my own stables, that he may
match the troop. But It will not be
the one that the Sultan sont to me,
tor It has not only a white face and
white stockings, but actually a
white patch on the withers. What
could be more unlucky? Oh yes,
His Shereeflnn Holiness and Impe
rial Highness meant It to be un
lucky. It will be when I conquer and
capture him; when we capture him;
' when you capture him. Very un
lucky for him; for I will shave off
the Sbereenan and Imperial Holl
ness's beard, and nail bis feet to
th floor while I do It

"But drink another glass of tea.
Sldl; for a man should drink three
times, and a horse four.
"Now we will talk awhile and
open our hearts to each other."
And at this signal the Raid's at
tendants departed from the ball ot
audience, leaving Major Napoleon
Rlccoll alone with the Kaid Abd'al
lah Karlm.
In the quarters allotted to Rio
coil's troops speculation was rite,
mystification universal, and rumor
busy.
"I wonder what's in the wind.
Bob," speculated Joe Mummery as
they sat on a bench outside the long
low barrack-room In which they
were not uncomfortably housed.
"What's the game, I wonder?"
"Being fattened for the slaughter,
I should say," replied Otho.
"YeB. Whose slaughter, I wonder?
Vlttorelli and his toadies are very
full of some big Idea or other. Do
you get a sort of Idea that there's
something on, and we're being kept
out of It?"
"Yes, I do. We four, and old Tant
de Soif and Poussln, seem sb if we
are being sent to Coventry. And
yet it's not as bad as that. A sort
ot feeling that they know something
we don't, and don't Intend us to
know it Seen old Harris this morn

"Yes. He's queer. Due for a go ol
desert madness, I should say. Full
ot hints of what he's going to do
to someone and the something he's
going to show somebody. He'll want
watching, Bob."
"I don't wonder he's a bit
strange," observed Otho. "Enough
to upset anybody. According to
what he says, he had the most ap
palling experience here, when he
fell Into the Kald's hands before.
Absolutely tortured mentally if
not physically and saw bis pal
tortured to death before his eyes.
Thoy threw the poor dovll over the
wall on to some hooks."
"By God! That explains It That's
why he's always been standing star
ing up at the tower there, and mum
bling to himself about 'pore ol'
Peer,' and what he's going to do
about It"
"Yes. Pierre Legrand was the
name he said, I remember. Yes, we
must watch Sailor Harris. Got a
cigarette? Good man I 1 suppose
you haven't noticed anything queer
about me, Joo?" smiled Otho, hav
ing lit bis cigarette.
"No, mate. You aren't going to
throw a fit of madness, are you?"
"No, I'm not going dotty, Joe,"
was the quiet reply, "but Mekazien
gives me, as well as Sailor Harris,
a lot to think about I have been
thinking about a young man named
Ralsul. I used to know him as Rus

a slip ot paper.
"Sergeant-Major wants Bellfme,

"Vory Interesting," murmured
Otho, as they rose to oboy. "A vory
interesting collection of names in
the circumstances. We're going to
hear sometblng, Joe."
They were.
What they heard from Sergeant
Major Vlttorelli was almost unbe
lievably thrilling and surprising
though had they but known It not
nearly as thrilling and surprising
as what the remainder ot the Section
had heard from that zealous officer.
