beggar over whom ho had stumbled
two nights gone. Pity he hadn't
known, and pitched him Into tho Nile
when ho had the chance.
Mahomed completed his directions,
and walked leisurely toward George,
but his attention was not Uirectea
toward him. A Bhort distance away,
at Goorgo's left, wns a man, stretched

GeorKo waB keenly Interested In

vigorously that tho young man lost
hlB balance and fell prone upon the
sand. He was so weak that tho fall
stunned him. Mahomed stepped for

pulse to prove that In tho matter of
kicks he desired to show no partial

"Don't! A bravo man would not do

CHAPTER XII-(Contlnued.)
The wind blew cold against his
cheat, and tho fact that he could nei

comforts. Back and forth be awayed
and rocked. The pain in hit aide wat
gradually minimised by the torture
bearing upon bla ankles, hit knees,
acrota bla thouldera. Finally, when
in. dull despair he was about to give
BD and slide off, indifferent whether
the camels following trampled him or
not, a halt waa called. It steadied
him. Some one reached up and un
tied the thong that strangled the life
in hia hands. Forward again, This
was a trifle better. He could now
eate himself with bis hands. No one
Interfered with htm when he tore off
the bandages over his eyoa and
south. The camels were now urged
to & swifter pace.
Egyptian night, well called, no
thought. He could discern nothing
but phantom-like grey silhouettes that
bobbed up and down after the fashion
at corks upon water. Uofore him and
behind him; how many camels made
up the caravan he could not tell. He
could bear the faint slip-Blip at the
beasts shuffled forward In the fine
feeavy aand. They were well out into
the desert, but what desert was as
7t a mystery. He had forgotten to
keep the points of the compass In hit
tiled. And to pick out bit bearings
T any particular ttar wat to blm no
ore simple than translating Chinese.
Far, far away behind he saw a lumi
nous pallor in tho sky, the reflected
lights of Cairo. And only a few houra
ago he had complained to the head
waiter because ot the bits of cork
boating in his glass of wino. Ah for
the dregs of that bottle now; warmth,
revival, new courage J . . , Curse
the Uckl There went one of his
pumps.- He called out. The mun rid
ing In front and leading George's
rarocl merely gave a yank at tho rope,
4'be camel responded with a cough
and a Quickened gait.
Presently George became Rwure of
el singular fact: that he could see out
of one eye better than the other;
and that the semi-useless orb shot out
little stars with every beat ot -bis
fcoart. One of bis ears, too, begau to
' Mtrob and, burn. He felt ot it. it was
(too Uk W r than a mushroom. It
had been a rattling good mix-up, any
how; and he accepted the knowledge
rather proudly that tho George Pcrcl
val Algernon, who but lately had en
tered tho English-Bar sprucely and
had mnde his exit In a kind of negli
gible attire, had left behind ono char
acter and brought away anothor. Nev
er agnln was ho going to bo shy: tho
tame tiger, as It were, hnd had his
first tnsto of blood.
Dawn, dawn; If only the horizon
would brighten up a little so that he
could get his bearings, Uy now they
wore at least tlflccn or twenty miles
from Cairo; but In what dlroctlon?
Hour after hour went by; over this
lingo grey roll of Blind, down into that
cuplike valley; soundless savo whon
the camels protested or his stirrup
clinked against a bucklo; all with the
somber aspect of a scene from Dante.
Several black spots, moving in circles
far above, ence attracted George; and
he knew them to.be kites, which will
follow a caravan Into the desert even
as a gull will follow a Bhlp out to sea.
Later, a torpid lndlfforonce took pos
session ot him, nnd tho senso of pain
grew less under the encroaching
numbness.
And when at last tho splendor of
the dawn upon the desert flashed like
a sword-blado along the tsky In tho
east, grow nnd widened, Gcorgo com
prehended ono thing clearly, that they
were In tho Arabian desert, out of tho
main traveled paths, In the mlddlo ot
nowhere.
IIIb sense ot beauty did not respond
to tho marvel of the transformation.
Tho dnrk grey of tho sand-hills that
became violet at their bases, to fade
away upward Into little pinnacles ot
ehlmmrln(j gold; tho drnb, forralesB,
scattered boulders, now assuming
clear-cut shapes, transfused with ruby
and sapphire glowing; the sun Itself
that presently lifted its rosal warm
ing circle above tho aUspplug-nfl
place George saw but noted not. Tho
physical picturo was overshadowed by
the one he drew In his mind: the good
ship Ludwig, boring her way out into
the sea.
The sun was free from the desert's
rim when the leading camel was halt
ed. A confusion ensued; the camels
following stupidly into ono anothor, In
a kind of panic. Out ot the silenco
came a babble of voices, a grunting, a
clatter of pack-baskets nnd Baddlo
bags. George, ns his camel kneeled,
slid off Involuntarily und tumbled
against a small hillock, and lay there,
without any distinct sense ot wnat
wns going on round him. Tho Band,
lino and mutable, formed a couch com
fortingly under IiIb aching body; and
ho fell oBleep, exhausted. Already tho
Impalpable dust, which had risen and
followed tho caravan ull through tho
night, had powdered his clothes, and
his face wns stained and streaked.
His head lay In tho sand, his soft Fe
dora crushed undor IiIb shoulders.
What with tho bruises visible, tho
rents in his coat, the open shirt,
soiled, crumpled, collarloss, he In
vited pity; only none caino from tho
husy Arabs. As ho slept, a frown
gathered upon his face and remained
there.
When ho came back from his
troubled dreards, a bowl of rlco,
thinned by hot wntcr, was given hlrn.
Ho cleanod tho bowl, not because ho
was hungry, but becauso he know that
somewhero along this Journey he
would need strength; and tho recur
ring fury against his duress caused
him to fling the empty bowl at tho
head ot tho camel-boy who had
brought It. The boy ducked, laugh
ing. Georgo lay down again. Let
them cut hla throat if thoy wanted to;
It was all the enmo to him. Again ho
slept, and when be was roughly and
forcibly awakened, he sat up with a
snarl and looked about.
His head was clear now, and he
began to take notes. Ho counted
ten, eleven, twelve camels, a car
feet and hands still in bonuago, nis
clothes torn, his face battered and
bruised llko a sailor's of a Sunday
morning on shore-leave. Tho sight of
Ityanne brightened him considerably.
Although ho was singularly froo from
tho spirit of mulevok-ncf, ho was, nev
ertheless, human enough to subscribe
to that unwritten and much denied
creed that tho misery ot one man rec
onciles nnothcr to his. And here wub

ho was, captive of tho men he had

seen through Georgo's oyes, Ryanne's
outlook was not a pleasant thing to
contemplate. But oh! tho fight this

And there was also the vital ques

So, then, aside from these dangers
with which ho felt able to cope, there
was one unforeseen: tho chance meet

without thought of roward, unselfish

was all alone, not only bore In tho

Mahomed, having an eyo upon all
things, though apparently Boeing only
that which was under Lis Immediate
concern, snw tho young man's Inten
tion, and more, read the secret In his
face. Ho was Infinitely amused.
Thero wore two of them, bo It seemed.
Quietly ho slipped In between George
and tho girl, and his movement freed
George's mind ot Its bewilderment.
Unhesitatingly, ho flung himself upon
the Arab, striving to reach tho lean,
brown throat Mahomed, strong and
unwearied, having no hand in the ao-
tend to that. And when Ryanne con
fessed, tho girl and the other would

ties did not worry Mahomed. Not the
fleetest raclng-cp el could find him,
nnd behind tho walls of the palaco
of Bagdad, only Allah could touch
him. Ho had figured It all out closely,
nnd ho was an ndmlrablo strategist
In his way. Revenge upon Ryanno for
the dishonor and humiliation, and the
return of the rug; thero was nothing
more beyond that.
Before Georgo had tho opportunity
of speaking to Fortune, bo was raised
from the sand and bodily lifted upon
his camel; and by way of passing
pleasantry, his hat was jammed down
over his eyes. He sworo as he pulled
up tho brim. Swearing wns another
accomplishment added to tho list of
transformations. Ho had a deal to
lprn yt, hut In hla present mood he
was likely to proceed famously. Ho
readjusted tho hat In time to see Ry
anno unceremoniously dumped into
one of the yawning pack-baskets, his
arms and legs hanging out, his hoad
lolling against his shoulder, exactly
like a marionette, cast aside for the
time being. A mnn of ordinary stam
ina would have died under such treat
ment But Rynnno possessed an ex
traordinary constitution, against which
years ot periodical dissipation had as
yet made no permnnont Inroads. More
over, ho never forgot to keep his chin
up and Ills waist-line down. They put
him Into the pack-basket becauso
thero was no alternative, being as he
wns lncapablo of sitting upon a cam
el's back.
Next. Georgo saw Fortune, unre
sisting, placed upon tho camel, under
canopy. At least, she would know a
llttlo comfort against tho day's long
ride. His heart ached to see her. Ho
called out bravely to her to be of
good cheer. Sho turned and smiled;
and he saw only the smile, not the
swift, decisive battle against the on
set of tears', sho smiled, and ho was
too far away to boo the Hwlmmlng
eyes.
A bawling of voices, a snapping of
tho kurbnsh upon tho fianlta of tho
camels, and the caravan wns onco
more under way. George looked at
his watch, which fortunately had been
overlooked by tho thieving natives,
and found It still ticking away brisk

Further Investigation revealed
that his letter of credit was undis
turbed and that he was th proud'pqs
ocssor of six damaged cigars and at
box of cigarettes. Instantly th
thought of being days without tobacco
smoto him almost poignantly. He was
an' inveterate smoker, and the fact
that tho supply was so pitiably small
gavo unusual zest to his craving. Ho
now longed for tho tang of the weed
upon his lips, but ho held out man
fully. Ho would not touch a cigar or
cigarette till nightfall, and then he
made up his mind to smoko half of
either. Tho touch, selfish and calcu
lating, of tho miser, stole over him.
If Ryanno was without the soother,
so much tho worse for him. The six
cigars ho would not share with the
archangel Michael, supposing that
gentleman came down for a smoke.

day things with which we have been
familiar from babyhood. Take a pen

pats these organs in a
healthy condition and
corrects constipation. Munyon's Paw-Paw
Pills are a tonic to the stomach, liver nnd
nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken;
they enrich the blood instead of impover
ishing it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put into
