CHAPTER VI. (Continued.)
Somo ono wjis sitting dovm bcsldo
him. It was Ryanne, In evening
clothes, Immaculate, blase, pink
cheeked. There aro some men bo harP
plly framed that they can don ready
mado suits without calling your atten
tion to tho fact, Goor saw at onco
that tho adventurer CUs ono of thoso
fortunato Individuals.
"Makes a rather good plcturo to
look at; eh?" began Ryanne, rolling
a flaka-tobacco cigarette. "Dance?"
"Ko. Wish I could. You'vo dono
quick work," with admiring Inspection.
"Not a flaw anywhere. How do you
do itr
"Thanks. Thanks to you, I might
ay. I did somo tall hustling, though.
Strange, how we lovo these funeral
toggeries. Wo follow the danco and
we follow tho dead, with never a
variation in color. Tho man who In
ranted the modern evening clothes
must havo dono good business during
the day as chlof-mourner."
"Why don't you send for your lug
Kaito?" Ryanno caressed Ills chin. "My
luggage is, I believe, in tho handa of
the enemy. It is of no great Import
ance. I never carry anything of value,
save my skin. I'm not Uko tho villain
In tho melodrama; no Incriminating
documents, no lost wills, no directions
for digging up pirates' gold."
"I suppose you'll soon he aS for
Amsrica?" George asked indifferently.
"1 supposo so. Dy the way, I saw
you at tho gamo today."
"No! Whoro wero you?"
"Top row. I am going to aMc a
favor of you. It may Bound rather odd
to your ears, but I know those two
ladles rather well. I kept out of the
way till I could find some clothes.
The favor I ask is that you will not
"tell them anything regarding tho cir
cumstances of our meeting. I am
known to them as a globe-trotter and
a collector."
f. "THat's too bad," said George, con-
tho Holy Yhlordes was given; Mahomed-El
Qeljel, tho Pasha's right
hand, a sheik in hia own right."
"Hut ou haven't got tho rug now."
"No, Mr. Jones, I haven't; but on
tho other hand, you have. So, here
wo aro together. When ho gets
through with me, your turn."
George laughed. Ryanno grow
thoughtful over this sign. Peiclval
Algernon did not seem exactly wpr
rltd. "Aren't you a littlo afraid?"
"I? Why should I bo?" Inquired
George Innocently "Certainly, what
ever your Arab friend's arguments
may be, moral or physical, I'm going
to keep that Yhlordes."
Was he bluffing? Ryanno wondered
Did ho really havo nerve? Well,
within forty-eight hours thcro would
cotno a test.
"Say, do you know, I rather wish
you'd been with mo on that trlji that
Is, if you like a rough game." Ryanne
Raid this In all sincerity.
"I havo never been In a rough game,
aB you call it; but I'vo often had a
strong dcslro to be, Just toJflnd out for
myself what sort of a duffer I am."
nyanno had met this sort of man bo
fore; tho follow who wanted to know
what etuff ho was mado of, nnd was
ready to risk his hide to find out. His
experience -bad taught him to expect
nothing of tho man who knew Just
what ho was going to do in a crisis.
"Did you ever know, Mr, Jones,"
said Ryanno, his eyes humorous,"that
there Is an organization in this world
of. ours, a company that offers a try
out to men of your kidney?"
"What's that? What do you mean?"
"What I say. There is an established
concern which will, upon application
for a liberal purchaso 6f, stock, ar
range any kind of adventuro you
wish."
''What?" George drew In his legs
and sat up, "What sort of a Jolly U
this?"
"You put your finger upon tho ono
great obstacle. No ono will bollove
that such a concorn exists. Yet it Is
a fact. And why not?" -
"Bpcnuea it wouldn't bo real; it
would bo going to tho moon a la
Coney Island."
"Wrong, absolutely wrong. If I
told you that I am n stockholder In
this company, and that tho adventuro
of tho Yhlordes rug was arranged for
my special benefit, what would you
say?"
"Say?" Georgo turned a serious
countcnanco toward tho adventurer.
"Why, tho whole thing is absurd on
the tnco of It, As a Joke, It might go;
but as a genuine affair, utterly Impos
sible." "No," quietly. "I admit that It

is, mediocrity 1b always standing bo

Jones, but this company oxlsts. Tho

havo tho scars."
"Hut In theso prosaic tlmosl" mur

"Prosalo times!" sniffed Ryanno.
"Thoro's ono of your brickbats. Thoy

"What tho deuco Is this company
called?" Gvuigu was enjoying tho con
versation Immensely.
"Tho United Romance and Adven

and New York."
"Havo you any of tho company's
paper with you?" Georgo repressed
his laughter because Ryanno's faco
was serious enough.
"Unfortunately, no. Out If you will
give me jour bunker's add.rcs3 I'll be
pleased to forward you tho prospec

"No. It's all chance, you know.

"nut, once moro supposo a chap gets
a little too rough a gamo, and doesn't
turn up for his dividends; what then?"
"In that event," answered Ryanne
sadly, "tho stock reverts to tho gen

Georgo lay back In his chair and let
go his laughter. "You are mighty

"Well, well; wo'll say nothing more
about It. But a moment gone you

"I'm sorry," said George, rising
eagerly.
"It's all In tho game," gallantly.
George saw him gracefully ma
neuver his wny round the crush to
ward tho stairs leading to tho bar.
Really, ho would like to know more

"I was talking with tho rug chap.

since I told him that his adventuro In

"That Is foolish. I rather enjoy

"Sometimes," with a diy little
Htnllo. "I bollovo wo havo met him,
mother. Thero wns something fa
miliar about Ills head. Of courso, wo
saw him only from a distance."
"I do not think thoro is any reul
harm In him." Bald Georgo. "What
mado mo laugh was a singular propo
sition ho set boforo me. Ho said ho
owned stock in a concern called 'The
United Roniuncu ami Adventuro com
pany;' and thnt for a specified sum of
money, ono could havo any adventuro

"Did jou over hear of ouch a
thing?" cried the mothor merrily. For
tune searched her faco keenly. "The
United Romanco and Adventuro Com

What did jou say his namo Is?"
"Ryanno. Joking Is my Idea exact
ly," Georgo ngreod. "Tho scheme Is
to plunge tho stockholder Into a real
llvo adventuro, and then let him pull
himself out tho best way ho can.
Sounds good, Ho added that this rug
business was an Instance of tho suc
cess of tho concern. Thero goes the
music. Do you danco, Miss Chod
soyo?" "A little." Fortuno was preoccu
pied. Sbo was wondering what lay
bohlnd Mr. Ryanuo's amiablo" Jest.
"Go along, both of you," Bald MrB.
Chedsoye. "I nm too old to danco. I
prefer watching peoplo." She sat
down and arranged herself comfort
ably. Sho was always arranging her
self comfortably; It was ono of tho 80
crets of her porennlal youth. 8ho
was very lovely, but George had eyes
for tho daughter only. Mrn. Chod
soyo saw this, but was not In tho least
chagrined.
"It Is eo many years since I tripped
tho light fantnstlo too," Georgo con
fessed, reluctantly and nervously, now
thnt ho had bravely comralttod him
self. "It is qulto possible that tho
accent will bo primarily upon the
trip "
"Perhaps, then," replied tho girl,
who truthfully was out of tune, "per
haps I had bottor get my wraps and
wo'll go outsldo. The night la glori
ous." 4
Sho couldn't havo suggested any
thing moro to his liking. And so,
after a littlo hurrying about, tho two
young peoplo went outsldo and began
to promenade slowly up and down tho
mo'e. Their conyorpntlon was desul
tory. Georgo had dropped back Into
n!s shell nnd the girl was not equal
to the task of drawing him out.
Onco ho stumbled over a sleeping
beggar, and would havo fallen had sho
not caught him by tho arm.
"Thanks. I'm clumsy."
"It's rather difficult to see them In
tho moonlight; their rags match tho
pavements."
The Egyptian night, thnt sapphlrino
darkness which tho flexible Imagina
tion peoples with lovely and terrlblo
shades, or floods with mystory and ro
mance and wonder, lay softly upon
this strip of verdure aslant tho des
ert's faco, tho Valley of tho NUo. The
moon, round, brilliant, strangely near,
suffused tho scarred old visage of tho
world with phantom silver; tho stones
of the parapet glowed dully, tho pave
ment glistened whltely, all things it
touched with gentleness, lavishing
beauty upon beauty, mollowlng ugll
nesB or effacing It. The deep blub
Nile, berlbboned with tho glancing
lights from tho silent feluccas, curling
musically along the sldeB of tho frost
like dahabaahs and steamers, rolled
on to tho sea; and tho blue-whlto
arc-lamps, spanning tho Great Nile
bridge, took the semblance of a pearl
necklace. JTrom time to time a cara
van trooped across tho bridge Into
Cairo.
"Do you caro for poetry, Mr. Jones?"
"I? I used to write It."
"And you nren't afraid to admit it?"
"Well, I shouldn't confess tho deed
to every one," ho answered frankly.
"We all write poetry at one tlmo or
another; but It's generally not consti
tutional, and wo recover."
"I do not seo why any ono should bo
ashamed of writing poetry."
"Ah, but there Is poetry and poetry.
My kind nnd Byron's Is born of kin
dred souls; but ho was an active
genius, whereas, I wasn't even a pas
slvo one. In all great poets I find my
own rejected tnougbts, as Emerson
says; and that's enough for my slen
der needs. Poets are rather uncom
fortablo chaps to have round. They
aro capricious, Irritable, temperament
al, selfish, and usually demand all the
attention."
Tho littlo vocal stream died up
again, and once more they llstoned to
tho magic sounds of tho night. Sho
stopped abruptly to look over tho para
pet, and his shoulder met hers; after
that the world to him wns never go
ing to bo the same again.
Moonlight aud poetiy; not the
safest channels to sail uncharted. The
girl was lonoly, and Georgo was lone
ly, too. His longing had now assumed
a definite form; hers moved from this
to that, still Indefinitely. Tho quick
ness with which this definition had
como to George rather startled him.
His first sight of Fortuno Chedfcoyo
had boon but yesterday; yet, hero ho
was, not desperately but consciously
In lovo with nor. The situation boro
against all precepts; it ripped up his
preconceived ideas of romanco as a
gale at sea shreds a canvas. He folt
a bit panicky. He had always planned
a courtship of a year or bo, meetings,
separations, and remeetlngs, pleasur
ablo expectations, little juukets to the
aters and country places; In brlof, to
witness the roso grow and unfold.
Somewhere ho had read or heard that
courtship was tho plummet which
sounded tho depths of compatibility.
Ho knew nothing of Fortuno Ched
soye, savo that sho was beautiful to
IiIb eyes, and that she was as different
from tho ordinary run of giila ua yon
der moon was from tho stars.
Again sho stopped, leaning over tho
parapet and staring down nt tho wa
ter swirling past tho stono embank
ment. He did likewise, resting upon
his folded arms. Suddenly his tongue
becamo allvo; and quietly, without
hesitancy or embarrassment, he began
to tell her 0! his school life, his life
'at home. And tho manner In which
ho spoko of his mothor wnrmed her;
and sho was strangely and wonder-
Ingly attracted.
"Of course, the mother meant tho
best In tho world when sho gavo mo
Perclval Algornon; and becauso she
meant tho best, I have rarely tried to
hldo thorn. What was good enough for
her to glvo was good enough for me
to keep. It Is simply that I have been
fosllsh about It, supersensitive. I
should havo laughed and accepted the
thing as a Joke; Instead, I mado U10
fatal movo of trying to run nWay and
hide. But, taking tho nnme In full,"
lightly, "It sounds as Incongruous as
playing Traumerel on a steam-piano."
Ho expected her to laugh, but her
heart wns too full of tho old ache.
This young man, kindly, gentle, Intel
ligent, If shy, was a love-child. And
she? An offspring, the loneliest of
tho lonely, the child that wasn't wnnt
cd. Many a time sho bad thought of
flinging all to the winds, of running
away and hiding whero thoy never
should find her, of working with her
own hands for her bread and butter.
Littlo they'd havo cared. But always
tho rebel spirit died within her as sho
stepped outsldo tho villa gates. To
loavo behind for unknown privations
certain assured comforts, things of
which sho was fond, things to which
sho wns used, sho couldn't do It, sho
Just couldn't. Morally and physically
sho was a little coward.
"Let ub go In," sho said sharply.
Another moment, and she would havo
been In tears.
CHAPTER VII.
Ryanne Tables His Cards.
During this time Mrs. Chedsoye, the
majorj Messrs. Ryanne and Wallace,
officers and directors In the United
Romance and Adventuro Company,
Ltd,, sat In tho major's room, round
tho boudolr-stand which had tempo
rarily been given tho dignity of a
table. The scene would not have been
without Interest either to tho specula
tive physiognomist or to the dramat
ist. To each It would havo represent
ed ono of those astonishing momonts
when the soul of a porson comes out
Into the open, as ono might express It,
Incautiously, to be revealed In the ex
pressions of tho oyes and the mouth.
These four persons wero about going
forward upon a singularly desperate
and unusual enterprise. From now on
they were no longer to fenco with one
another,to shift from this topic to
that, with tho Indirect maneuvers of

"I continue, then. We aro making
enough to lay by something for our

which never loses Its luster. But

"Talk, talk," said Mrs. Chedsoye lm
patlentlj'. "My dear Kate, allow mo to relievo
my mind."
"You havo dono so till the topic Is
threadbare. It Is rather late In the
day to go over too ground again.
Time Is everything Just now."
"Admitted. But this affair, Kate, is
big; big with dangers, big with pit
falls; there Is a hidden menace In ev
ery step of It. Mayhap death; who

cling to material comforts, to enter
prises of small dangers. However, as
you Infer, there's no going back now."
' "No," assented Ryanne, his mouth
hard; "not If I have to proceed alone."
Sho smiled at him. "You talk of
danger," speaking to tho major. "What
danger can thero be?"
"Tho unforeseen danger, tho danger
of which we know nothing, nnd there
fore are unablo to prepare for It. You
do not seo it, my dear, but It is there,
nevertheless."
Wallace nodded uppiovhigly. Ry
anno shrugged.
"Failure Is practically Impossible.
And I want excitement; I crave It as
you men crave your tobafico."

Dread White Planus.
Nearly $13,000,000 was spent In the
antituberculosis campaign In th
United States during tho year 1912,.

Collecting Antiquities.
Slopay received a card on which

He knew no such person, so his curi
