NANCY MOWN OF BROOKLYN
. CHAPTER XV . .
7AMAN KHAN hid seen the girl,
too.', .! r.y; .
'? "Were It not for your presence,
mem-rahee," - he said to her in
English, with a courtly bow, "
would now attend to this uncouth
person and force him to eat stick.
A great deal of painful stick.''
"Oh" exclaimed the Algerian
truculently "you would, would
you?"
"I would and I shall, some
other time. Not now. The littlt
mem-taht b does not like quarrels.
Therefore here!" Me drew a well
filled purse from his waistshaw!
and gave the other a handful oi
money. "To pay for my debts
and for a meal of the best Lei
there be tender artichokes cooked
in the finest olive oil, a roast of
lamb lovingly garnished with
chestnuts and white grapes.
salad of hearts of palm, a platter
of fresh figs and the best wine in
your cellar."
Then, when Moise Torjeman had
gone to talk to the cook, he bowed
again to the girl.
"Would the mem-snheb" he
asked, "honor us with her pres
ence at dinner?"
, She smiled.
"You certainly know how to or
der a meal," she replied, "and you
must have quite some pull in the
kitchen. AU I've been getting to
eat here, these last few days, has
. been tough and ancient goat. I'll
be glad to come and glad to talk
English once more. My French
isn't so hot, and my Arabic isn't
even lukewarm."
She looked at Lincoln.
"Tell me," she asked the Afghan,
"does your friend know English,
too?" ...
"He does," replied Zaman Khan,
before the American could speak.
"Permit me to introduce him.
Ah" inventing glibly "this ii

She shook hands with both men.
"I'm Nancy Brown, from Amer
ica. Brooklyn, to be exact. But
don't tell on me!"
TT seemed that she was a feature
writer for a famous Chicago
newspaper syndicate which, after
the outbreak of the world conflict;
bad sent her to North Africa to
cover what the editor-in-chief,
with no irony intended, had called
(the "feminine aspects of the war."
She smiled.
"Feminine!" she went on. "Can
tyou beat it? Still, I did my best.
I cabled all the regulation, sloppy,
sob-sister stuff my boss expected
and paid me for. But, after a
jwhlle, I became bored with it,
'sick with the dishonesty if you
get me. I was about to throw up
lny job, go to Lisbon and catch
me a clipper for home and Brook
lyn. Only, I had reckoned with
out the little yellow men. For
-there was the attack against Pearl'
narbor. Benny and Adolf joinep
in, declaring war against Uncle
and me in Italian Tripoli at the

ithough? Algeria was out of the
question. So was Egypt and the
Italian mainland. But I had be

decided to get out in a hurry. Go

no European had visited it in
many years. Okay I said to my
self it was high time somebody

- Not for a moment did Zaman
Khan believe her. Several times,
as she spoke, he winked broadly
at the American while his lips,
noiselessly, formed the Arabio
word: "Deedwaun spy."
Lincoln, on the other hand, did
not doubt her.
, ; And he began to worry.
For, though he was convinced
that once he had found the Kyk
moot ameez and killed him, the
result would be a speedy collapse
of the conspiracy, he also knew
that one immediate reaction would
be a savage anti-European out
break on the part of the dervishes
and the members of the various
secret societies. Chiefly in a place
like Yebba, far away from police
and garrisons.
.
CO when, dinner over, the Af
" ghan had gone to look after
the horses, he decided to warn
her. .
He reflected that she must have
heard about the recent assassina
tion of Admiral Jean Darlan.
"Yes," she replied to his ques
tion, "the news got here. By sig
nal drums."
"And the drums keep on talk

She laughed then.
