JULES' TREACHERY
PERHAPS they had Juat damped

apparently dead drunk, where he
rould be found and chucked Into a
cell to alee; It off.
But That waa the game?
And why. In aplte of everything,
iraa hla heart alnglng a lark'a aong,
I paean ot pralee and Joy?
Because he had aeen Margaret
again. Margaret was near; Mar
taret waa here!
Here! In Mekazzen! And Otho'a
heart Bank Into the deptha, aa a
lick fooling of anxiety overwhelmed
ind enfeebled him, mentally and
physically.

Margaret told herself
violently struggling with tha two
men In whose absolute power she
must be her husband, and hla
cousin.
But, once again, why decoy him
to that room for her to aee him?
Perhaps when hla brain ceased to
ache and to swim, and this giddi
ness passed, he'd be able to think
sufficiently clearly to reason It out
When this Infernal cloud lifted, he

With the wall behind him for sup
port, Otbo atood to attention.
. "Well, you drunken dogl Sobered
np. have you?"
"Yes, Sergeant"
'Fit for duty?"
Tee, Sergeant"
"Lucky for you, yon slacking,
shirking, boozing, worthless Imita
tion of a soldier. If I let you out of
here now, can you keep sober? Keep
to your place and keep your mouth
shut?"
"Yes, Sergeant."
"Get out of 1'. then, you scrofu
lous scum . . ."
"Yes, Sergeant May I apeak?"
"Well?"
"A Moor brought me a note, writ
ten In English, saying that It 1 cared
to accompany tbe bearer, the writer
would be very glad to aee me and
have a chat It was elgned by the
Kald'a son, Ralsul, whom I met In
England. Being oft duty, and tree,
I went
"I drank nothing but a cup ot cof
fee, and then found myself lying
bound, hand and foot and with blood
running down my face from a wound
on the head. I then..."
''Cet out you lying awlne! Get
out ot here, before I . . ."
Worda failed the Sergeant-Major.
, "Yes, Sergeant."
And saluting, Otbo, albeit a little
unsteadily, marched out Into the
sunshine, In search ot Joe Mummery.
Margaret felt that she was going
mad, and told herself repeatedly,
and aloud, that she must not go mad.
She must keep aane and be strong,
for far more waa uow at stake than
ber own lite, honor and aafoty.

Otho was In the hands, in the lim
itless power, at tbe savage uncon
trolled "mercy," of Ralsul.
How could he . . . how could Julea
come up to her In tbe garden with
smiling debonair assurance and
when the eyed him In cold and hos
tile silence, aay,
"Ob, come, make It up, Margaret.
Let's kiss and be friends. No, don't
go away. Listen, Margaret ... Oh,
all right, go If you like. But won't
you speak to Otbo Belleme flrst?".
As ebe now stood tearing her hand
kerchief to rags, she saw the scene
again.
How suddenly she had wheeled
about' . :
"What? Otho herer
And the hateful, w'
"Ah-h-h. Thought that'd fetch
you, young woman. Tea, our old pal,
Otho, Is actually here. Want to aee
him?"
"Of course I do. Where Is he?"
"Over on the other aide. He sent
his kind regards, and alnca he can't
call on you, would you, for old times'
sake, come and aee him. It you're
not too proud to talk to a legionnaire."-
"I doubt If he said that Of
courae I'll go and aee biro. I'd walk
miles to eee Otho. Will it be all right
tor me to go over to tbe barracks If
you come with me?"
aha must not go mad.
"Oh, I've managed better than
that. Ralsul'a very kindly enter
taining him In his quarters. Re
knew him at once. They met at Ox
ford in Jack'a rooms, you remem
ber." And like the fool she was, she'd
walked Into the trap.
Simpleton to have trusted Jules
Mallgnl for one moment Why
hadn't she seen danger tha moment
Ralsul'a name waa spoken? Why
hadn't she remembered what she
knew that the name Mallgnl waa
synonymous with treachery, vil
lainy, lies.
And what had Ralsul meant when
he had stroked her face and neck,
while Jules and tbat giant negro
held hor? What bad he meant by
saying, with hla hateful, hateful
grin,
"Never mind, darling, never mind.
He's alive and he'll soon be kick
ing. Oh, I assure you he'll soon be
kicking.
"Unless yon rescue blm, that Is,
He's safe enough I'm sure. Hla
Margaret'U rescue him all right
when the opportunity Is offered to
her."
What did that cur mean7 Res
cue Otbo? She could "rescue him,
when the opportunity was offored?"
What did Ralsul mean?
What ahould ahe do?
Colonol Le Sage)
But how to get to him.
Whoever opened ber door should
not shut It again.
Like a creature distraught Map
garet paced her room, flung herself
down upon her bed, and In a atorm
of weeping, found some relief.
Anon she sat up. This would not
do. This would not help Otho.
What waa that?
There waa someone at her door.
Ralsul?
Why didn't the door open? She
was certain she'd heard somebody
at It She'd beard the key turn.
Why didn't tbe door open?
The door did open.
With a supreme effort of self-control,
Margaret retrained from bye
teria. The aced Hassan el Mlskeen, the
dumb slave, atood grinning and
aalaamlng on the threshold.
