Mahomed escapes. CHAPTER XVH (Continued.) "We might as well got Fortune's things out of tho way, too, Celeste." "Yes, Madame." "And bring my chocolate at half feftor eight In tho morning. It Is quite possible that we shall Ball tomorrow night from Port Said. If not from there, from Alexandria. It all depends Upon tho booking, whch can not be Very heavy going west tltlo time of jear." ' "As madamo knows," camo from tho depth of tho cavernous trunk. Celosto wag no longer surprised; at least she mover evinced this emotion. For "twelve yenrB now sho had gono from one end of the globo to the other, upon the shortest notice. While surprise "was lost to hor or under such con trol as to render It negligible, she still shivered with pleasurable excitement at tho thought of entering a port. Madamo was so clover, so transcen dency clever I If she, Celeste, had not been loal, sho might havo rotlred long ago, and owned a shop of hor own In tho busy Iluo do nivoll. IJut that would havo neant a humdrum ex istence; and besides, she would have grown fat, which, of tho seven hor rors confronting woman, so madamo ald, was first In number. "Be Very careful how you handle ithat blue ball-gown." "Oh, Madamo!" reproachfully, r "It Is the Bllver braid. Do not pre'ss tho rosettes too harshly," Celeste looked up. Mrs. Chedsoye answered her Inquiring gaze with a thin smile. "You aro wonderful, Madame I" "And so aro you, 0010810, In your way." At leu O'clock Mrs. Chedsoye was ready ,for her pillow. 9ho nlopt nt fully; awoko at eleven and again at twelve After that sho knew nothing more till luo inula rouBcd her with the cup of chocolate. She sat up nnd nipped slowly. Celeste waited at tho Jbedsldo with the tray. Her admira tion for hor mlstrosB never waned. Mrs, Chedsoye was Just as beautiful in dishabille as In a ball-gown. Sho drained the cup, and as she turned to replace It upon tho tray, dropped It with a clatter, a startled cry coming from her lips. "Madamo?" , "Fortune's bed I" It bad not been slept In. The Bteomer-clook lay across tho counter pane exactly where Celeste herself had laid it tho night beforo. Mrs. Chedsoye sprang out of her bod and ran barefoot to tho other. Fortuno had not been In tho room slnco dinner time. "Celeste, dress mo as quickly as possible Hurry! Something has happened to Fortuno." Never, In oil her years of service, could she recollect such a toilet as jnndame made that morning. And never before had she shown such con cern over her daughter, It was amus ing) "The llttlo fool I Tho UtUo fool!" Mrs. Chedsoye repeatedly murmured fas the nimble fingers of tho maid flew bver her. "Tho silly llttlo fool; and &t a time iiko this J" Not that re morse of any kind stirred Mrs. Chod poyo'B conscience; sho waB Blmply ex tremely annoyed. She hastened out Into tho corridor fcnd knocked at tho door of her broth er's room. No answer. Sho flew downstairs, and thoro sho eaw him doming In from tho street, Ho greet ed her cheerily, "It's all right, Kato; plenty of room on ihe Ludwig. We shall take the aft ernoon train for Port Said. Sho satis t dawn to-morrow Instead of to night. , . . Whafa up?" suddenly noticing his stBter'a face "Fortune did not return to her room last night." "What? Where do you supposo tho llttlo fool went, then?" They both seemed to look upon For tune as a llttlo fool. "Yesterday sho threatened to run away." "Hun away? Kate, bo eenslblo. How tho deuce could she run away? Sho hasn't a penny. It takcB money to go anywhere ovor hero. Sho has probably found somo girl friend, and hns spent tho night with her. We'll soon find out whero she Is." Tho Ma jor wasn't worried. "Have you seen Horace?" with dis cernible nnxlcty. "No. I didn't wait up for him. He's olccplng off a night of it. You know his falling." "Find out If he Is In his room. Go to tho porter's bureau and inquire for both htm and Jones." The Mnjor, perceiving that his sister was genuinely alarmed, rushed ovor to tho bureau. No, neither Mr. Ry anne nor Mr. Jones had been In the hotel since yesterday. Would tho por- jtcr Bend some ono up to the rooms of those gentlemen to mako sure? Cer tainly. No; thero was no ono In the rooms. The Major was now himself perturbed. He went back to Mrs. Chedsoye. "Kato, neither has been In his room slnco yesterday. If you want my opinion, it Is this: Hoddy has seques tered Jones all right, and Is some where In town, sleeping off tho effects of a night of it." "He has run away with Fortuno!" Bho cried. Her expression was tragic. Sho couldn't havo told whether it was due to her daughter's disappearance or to Horace's defection. "Did ho not threaten?" "Sh! not so loud, Kato." "Tho little slmploton defied mo yes terday, and declared sho would leavo me." t "Oho!" Tho Major fingered his im perial. "That puts a now fnco to tho subjoct. But Jones! Ho has not turned up. Wo can not movo till wo find out what has become of him. I know. I'll Jump Into a carriage and see if ho got as far as. tho English Bar." Mrs. Chedaoy did not go upstairs, but paced tho lounging-room, litho nnd panthorlsh. Frequently sho paused, as If examining tho patterns In tho huge carpets. She entered tho reception-room, camo back, wandered off Into tho ball-room, stopped to inspect tho announcement hanging upon the bulletin-board, returned to the win dows nnd watched tho feluccas sail past as tho great brldgo opened; and during all these aimless occupations "Fortune Did Not Return but a single thought busied hor mind: what cpuld a man like Horace seo In a chit llko Fortuno? It was an hour and a half beforo tho Major put in an appearance. Ho was out of breath and temper. "Como up to tho room." Once there, ho sat down and bade her do likewise. "There's tho devil to pay.

Anyhow, tho coast is clear. Kato, there's a big thing in front No nerves. We've got to go to-day. Time is everything. Our butler and first man cabled this morning that they had Just started in, and that every thing was running liko clock-work. We'll got into Now York in time for the coup. Remember, I was against tho whole business at the start, but now I'm going to boo it off." Feverishly Mrs. Chedsoye propared for tho Journoy. Sho was irrltnblo to Celeste, Bho was unbearable to her brother, who took a seat In a forward compartment to be rid of hor. It was only when thoy went aboard the steamer that night that she became reconciled to tho inevitable. At any .rate, the presence of Jones would counteract any influence Horace might havo gained over Fortuno. That tho three of them might suffer unheard-of miseries never formed thought in her mind. It appealed to her in tho sense of a comody which annoyed rather than amused Lor. Thoy woro greeted effusively by Wallace, ho of tho bulbous nose; nnd his first inquiry was of Ryanne. Brief ly tho Major told him what had hap pened and added his fears. Wallaco was greatly cast down. Hoddy had so set his heart upon this venture that It was a shamo to proceed without him. He had warned him at the be ginning about that Infernal rug; but Hoddy wan always set in his daro dovll schemes. So long as the Major had the plans, he supposed thnt they could turn tho trick without Hoddy's assistance; only, it seemed rathor hard for him not to bo in the sport "Ho told mo that nothing would give him greater pleasure than to stick his fist in the first bag of yellow-boys. Thero was something mysterious in tho way ho used to chuckle over the thing when I first sprung It on him. He saw a Joke somowhero. Let's go Into tho smoke-room for a peg. It won't hurt either of us. And that poor llttlo girl! It's a hell of a world, eh?" ,Tho Major admitted that it was; but ho did not ndd that Fortune's wel fare or Ill-faro was of llttlo or no con cern of his. Tho llttlo spitfire had always openly despised him. Thoy woro drinking silently and mo rosoly, when Mrs. Chedsoye, palo nnd anxious, appeared in tho companion- to Her Root! tast Night." way. Sho bockoned them to follow her down to her cabin. Had Fortuno arrived? Had Ryanne? Sho did not answer. Arriving at hor cnblu Bhe pushed tho two wondering men inside, and pointed at the floor. A largo steumor-roll lay unstrapped, spread out. "I only Juat opened It," she said. "I nover thought of looking into it at Cairo. Hore, it looked so bulky that I was curious." !,Vhy, ii's that damned Yhlordes I" exclaimed tho Major wrathfully, "What tho devil Is It doing in For tune's steamer-roll?" "That Is what I should llko to know. If thoy have been kldnapod In order to rccovor tho rug, whatover will bocomo of thom?" And Mrs. Chedsoyo touched tho rug with hor foot, absently. Sho wqb repeating In hor mind that childish appeal: "You don't know how loyal I should havo boenl" They took tho first good sailing ov of Naples. Twelve days later they landed at tho foot of Fourteenth Stroot Thero was somo trifling diffi culty ovor tho rug. It had been de clared; but as Mrs. Chedsoyo and hor brother always declared foreign real MACGMTH dence, thero was a question as to whether it was dutiable or not. Being a copy, it was not an original work of nrt, therefore not exempt, and so forth and so on. It was finally decid ed that Mrs. Chedsoo must pay a duty. Tho Major paid grumbllngly, very cleverly assuming nn irritability well known to tho Inspectors. Tho way tho United States government mulcted hor citizens for the benefit of tho few wns a scandal of tho nations. A smooth-faced young man ap proached thorn from out tho crowd. "Is this Major Callahan?" "Yea. This must bo Mr. Reynolds, tho agent?" "Yes. Everything is ready for your occupancy. Your butler and first man havo everything ship-shape. I could havo turned over to you Mr. Jones'." "Not at all, not nt all," said tho Ma jor. "They would havo boon strangers to us and wo to them. Our own serv ants are best." "You must bo very good friends of my client ?rt "I havo known him for years," said Mrs. Chedsoye sweetly. "It was at his own suggestion that wo take tho house ovor for the month. Ho really insisted that we should pay him noth ing; but, of course, such an arrange ment could not be thought of. Oh, good-by, Mr. Wnllace," tolerantly. "Wo hope to boo you again aome day." Wallaco, taking up his rolo once more, tipped his hat and rushed away for ono of his favorite haunt3. "Bounder!" growled tho Major. "Well, well; a ship's deck is always Llberty-Hnll." "You havo turned your belongings over to nn expressman?" asked tho 9 "You 8ee, Mr. Jones Intrusted a Fine agent. These were charming people; nnd any doubts ho might have enter tained were dissipated. And why should ho have any doubts? Jones was an eccentric young chap, anyhow. An explanatory letter (written by the Major In Jones' careless hand), backed up by a cable, was onough authority for any reasonable man. "Everything is out of tho way," said tho Major. "Then, it you wish, I can take you right up to tho house in my car. Your butler said that ho would have lunch ready when you arrived.' "Very kind of you. How noisy New York 1b!

It Is the same with nn autolst when -his machine skids and ho boos that ho is headed straight for n troo or telegraph polo and can not posslhlo avert collision.' "When did you experience this fool ing?" waB asked. "About a month ago. I was going along tho highway at a clip of 50 milos an hour, when "You Bald GO."

Mrs. Chedsoye would havo made St Anthony uneasy of mind; Reynolds, young, alive, metaphorically fell nt hor feet "Plenty of room for it" "I am glad of that You see, Mr. Jones Intrusted a fine old rug to us to bring home for him; and I shouldn't want anything to happen to it." tTho Major looked up at tho roof of the dingy shed. He did not care to hnve Reynolds note the flicker of ad miration in his eyes.

"One might as well disembark in a stable," he said aloud. "Ah! Wo aro ready to go, then?" They entered tho limousine and went off buzzing , and zigzagging among tho lumbering trucks. The agent drove the car himself. "Whero 1b Jones now?" ho asked tho Major, who sat at his left. "Haven't bad a line from him for a month." "Just before we sailed," said Mrs. Chedsoyo through tho window, over tho Major's shoulder, "ho went into the deBert for a fortnight or so; with a caravan. Ho had heard of some fab ulous carpet." Touch number two Tho Major grinned. "Jones is ono of the best Judges I havo ever met. He was oft at a bound. I only hope ho will get back beforo we leavo for California." The Major drew up his collar. It was a cold, blustry day. Tho agent was delighted. What luck a fellow like Jones had! To wander all over creation and to meet charm ing people! And whn they invited him to remain for luncheon, the vic tory was complete. Mrs. Chedsoyo strolled in and out of tho beautifully appointed rooms. Never had she Been more excellent taste.

He married a man like this ono. A pos sibility occurred to her, nnd the ghost of a smllo moderated the Interest in her face. They might bo upon the desert for weeks. Who knew what might not hnppen to two such roman tic simpletons? The butler and tho first man (who was also tho cook) were impeccable types of servants; bo thought Reyn olds. They moved silently and an ticipated each want Reynolds deter mined that very afternoon to drop a line to Jones nnd compliment him upon his good taste In tho selection of his friends, A subsequent press of office work, however, drove the deter mination out of his mind. The instant his car carried him out of sight, a strange scene was enacted. The butler and tho first man seized the Major by the arms, and tho threo executed a pas-soul. Mrs. Chedsoye eyed these manifestations of Joy ston ily. "Now then, what's been done?" asked tho Mnjor, pulling down hlB cuffs and shaking tho wrinkles from his sleeves. "Half done!" cried tho butler. "Where's that wall-safe?" the Major wanted to know. "Behind that sketch by Detallle." And tho butler, strange to say, pro nounced It Det-1. "Can you open It?" "Tried, but failed. Wallace is the man for that." "He'll bo along in an hour or so." "Where's Ryanne?" "Don't know; don't care." Tho Ma jor sketched the predicament of their fellow-conspirator. Tho butler whistled, but callously. Ono more or less didn't matter in such an enterprise. When Wallaco arrived ho applied his talent and acquired science to the wall-safe, and finally swung outward the llttlo steel door. The Major pushed him aside and thrust a hand Into the metaled cavity, drawing out an exquisite Indian casket of rose wood and mother-of-pearl. Ho opened the lid and dipped a hand within. Em eralds, deep and light and shaded, cut and uncut and engraved, flawed and almost perfect Ho raised a handful and let them tinkle back into tho casket. Ono hundred in all, beauties, every ono of them, and many famous. And while ho toyed with them, pleased as a child would have been over a handful of marbles, Mrs. Ched soye spread out the ancient Yhlordes in the library. Sho stood upon the central pattern, musing. Her mood was not ono which she had called into being; not often did she become ret rospective; the past to her was al vays like a page in a book, once fin ished, turned down. Her elbow in ono palm, her chin in tho other, she stared without seeing. It was this house, this home, it was each sign of riches without luxury or ostentation, whero money expressed itself by taste and simplicity; a homo such as ahe had always wanted. And why, with nil her beauty and Intellect, why had she not como Into possession? She knew. Lovo that gives had never been hers; hers had been the lovo that receives, self-love. She had bar tered her body once for riches and had been fooled, and she never could do it again. . . . And tho child was overflowing with tho lovo that gives. The flurry of snow outside in tho court sho saw .not. Her fancy re formed the pretty garden at Mentone. Inclosed by pink-washed walls. Many a morning from her window she had watched Fortune among tho flowers, going from one to tho other, like a bee or a butterfly. Sho had watched her crow, too, with that same detach ment a machinist feels as he puts to gether the invention of another man. Would sho over seo her again? Her shoulders moved ever bo llttlo. Prob ably not. Sho had blundered wilfully. Sho should have waited, thrown the two together, maneuvered. And she had permitted this adventure to ob sess her! Sho might have stood with in this houso by right of law, mother hood, marriage. Ryanne was in love with Fortuno, and Jones by this tlmo might he. Tho desert wns a terribly lonely place. She wished it might bo Jones. And immediately retrospection died away from her gazo and actualities re sumed their functions. Tho wish waB not without a phase of humor, formed as It was upon this magic carpet; but it nowise disturbed tho gravity of her expression. (TO BE CONTINUED.) speaks of him as "ono of the best and most hard-worked types of humanity," eo wo will willingly revise our esti mate and stand correctod. Incidental ly Lord Kitchener tells us that tho population of the Soudan was about nlno millions beforo tho Mahdlst re bellion, that after tho rebellion it was reduced to two millions, and that it is now over threo millions. The trifling reduction of Boven millions of people was duo to war and starvation. That Is to say, thoy were UHJed. Find Valuable. Fresco In Ruins. One of the latest and most In teresting things uncovered during tho new excavations at Pompeii under the direction of Professor Splnazzola, Is a fresco which is regarded as the best found. It was ono of tho orna ments of tho facado of a houso situat ed in tho main publlo thoroughfare, of which tho root was In almost per fect condition. It reproesnts the Pompelan Venua standing erect crowned with n diadem in tho midst of flying Cupids on a chariot drawn by four Indian elephants. Seen from tho front, tho representation of theso animals is strikingly realistic. The archaeological valuo of tho fresco is extremely groat, for tho colors are very fresh and harmonious. A cold in the head is the first chap tor in tho hlBtory of disease and death. ThlB has been bo often repeated that thoro aro few people Indeed who have not witnessed many examples of it A cold in tho head is rarely sovnre enough to confino a vigorous person to tho house. As a rule, It ends In recovery without any treatment ThlB has led many pooplo to regard a cold in tho head aa of no importance. It is a torriblo mistake, however, to pass by a cold in tho head as a trivial mat ter. Every caso ahould bo treated. Those who havo used Peruna for such cases will testify unanimously that a few doses 1b sufficient to ro movo overy vestlgo of tho cold. How much better it 1b to treat a cold in this way than it is to allow it to go on and on for weeks, perbnp3 months, leaving efTects that will nover be eradicated. Yot thero aro thoso who neglect to tako Peruna for a cold in tho head. This neglect Is duo to tho falso notion that a cold in tho head is hardly worth noticing. A cold in the head is In reality a caso of acuto catarrh. It ought to bo called so, in order to awaken people from their lethargy on this subjoct In a large per cent, of cases cold in the head will end in chronic catarrh. Un less properly treated with some such remedy as Peruna, perhaps BO per cent, of cases of cold In tho head will lay tho foundation for chronic catarrh. A tablespoonful of Peruna should be taken at tho very first symptom of cold In tho head. Usually where tho old Is not very sovere a tablespoonful of Poruna before each meal and at bed time Ib sufficient It may be neces sary, however, whero tho attack is moro serious, to keep strictly in tho house and take a tablespoonful of Peruna every hour. Younger people, feeble or delicate women, should take a tenspoonful every hour. Somewnat Contradictory.
