It is Impuitant to every community that a thorough listing ot its inhabl tants is made aud without the job being at least 99 99 percent perfect, It will be ot no avail our Interest should be to see that an , accurate census Is given ot Decatur and ample time allowed the enumerators to complete the canvass. —a The British government has ordered holders of stocks in l utted Slates corporations to sell them to the government treasury al the pound isle basis.

CHAPTER XX! Natika Black Mated herself upon the edge of a chair opposito the two, 1 and said softly, "I've been trying to ! recall where it was ! saw you last, 1 Miss Me!*od. It wasn’t so long ago. I Could it have been at Hasid Pasha’s < reception?” "possibly." Moira returned bland- 1 ly. “I’ve never seen so many curious 1 characters at El .‘•'erlyeh. Oh!” She ■ deliberately drained her cocktail then nodded tn hcsaelf. “And I re ! member where I have seen you before. Miss Black Did you not last 1 winter—er —sing at the Casino du Phare before Lord Gravillen came to i Cairo?" The remark was made with 1 a politely insulting smile. i Natika Black merely shrugged be- ' neath her blue fox eape. her < otnpo- I <ure quite uncracked. "Yea. I recall ' distinctly —it was about the time a 1 certain Miss McLeod was arrested for—er—carying off, by mistake of ' course, the minister of marine's briefcase. Really it mu«t have been a most unpleasant affair. No doubt the estimable Captain (live was of great service?" Deciding that the two had sandpapered each other’s sensibilities long enough. North firmly interposed. "Suppose w t have another round of drinks, then if Miss 1 McLeod would care to join us at lunch—" “What a dear creature you are, -I Hugh. I'd love to," Moira laughed, flinging him a dauntless look, "only I must simply rusk/ You've made me fearfully late already, you bad , boy. I’ll get in touch with you later ’| on. Au revotr, arshutrhfe." In aria- ; mg she gently brushed his cheek with her fingertips. “Good by, Mad . rmo.se lie Black. My compliments to Lord Graviilen." She sniffed aud'i ibly. “Hie ehoiee of perfumes la flawless.” North was struggling from inward explosions of laughter. The Insults had been so neatly handled. Natika. however, appeared to rise above them and merely shrugged ence more. ■’Jealousy is not the noblest of esnot lons,” she commented, pulling a cigarette from a gol<t-and*nam*!ed cigarette case. "How she dresses so well on a part-time reporter's job has all Cairo wondering. Fhe most be a very elever girl to have so definitely intrigued you. Otto Wolff was a great friend of hers—and mine. Hr IM, she must feel his loss a great deal." "1 suppose so," North said, accepting a menu, "and now let's forget about everything and everybody but •• What would you like?” Natika Black had so perfectly mastered the difficult art of pleasI mg men that the luncheon proved mamirakii. At length, when an obeequtoue Spanish waiter had removed the desaert, she leaned a little over the table, chin on the heel of her hand. "One has been hearing, mow capitaixe. moot Interesting things about you." "Really? The gossips of Calre must bo hard op to pick on a dull fellow like me.” "Dull? Never in this life. Ah, my poor friend!" she sighed. "You have no idea what a hotbed of gossip this eity is. Already it is known that yon are a retired American Intolligenee officer, that yea ars in Cairo on vacation—ostensibly." “Ostensibly. mademoiselle He switched easily into French — "miss" seemed singularly uasppropriate. "Ah, yes, arts hears you have— I well, shall we say-business con--1 pactions?”

"It is possible " "In that ease, you must meet a friend of mine, a very powerful friend. He can give you more business than anyone else in Cairomore business than any five other men.” Klowly he passed a hand over hie chin then said, "I—l, well, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be of service; however, you must understand that one can't go leaping blindly into euch negotiations. Your friend—ean't you tell mo a little about him?” She cast a look over her shoulder, surveying a waiter who Beamed to he taking entirely too long to clear an adjoining table "That is impassible in Cairo. Ho is too well known, but I will arrange for you to meet him. What he wants particularly are German wares.” “But I have already taken a groat many ordera.” In great hopes North continued his lino of argument. "Suppose I don't eare to deal with your friend?" In an almost frightened manner her fingers dosed over hfs hand. "No, no!" she eried In deep agitation, "you mustn't say that!" “What do you mean?” "Nothing. Only I wouldn't—really, you mustn't." she murmured, her eyes on her plate "Please believd me, Hugh, no other course would give you euch profit. Os course you will deal with him.” "If you wish, I will be willing to talk with him," North conceded. "But I maks no promises.” A small sigh escaped her and the warm sparkle returned to her eyes. “You will dine with me thia evenlng, and then perhaps we shall go for a drive ia the Assert out to some ruins. I shall expect you at nine o'clock. Please remember what I hove said. It would he most unwise for you to deal with anyone until you have spoken with my friend. You will tell no one? Least of all that McLeod girl. And now, Hugh, a thousand thanks for a moot agreeable time. The luncheon was exquisite." 0000 It being the het hour of half-past two. Sbepheard's Bar was nearly deserted, a fact for which Captain H ugh North was grateful. Odd hew hie defensive reactions were tightening up; mechanically now he followed event motion which came within the range of hie vision. What about this Natika Black business? Who was back of her game? Was thia a super-ekillfully belted deadfall or a bona-fide bid for business? Could be, by driving out Into the desert, gain the key to that long aeries of killings which had driven Sir George Ruthven Into despair? Or would his sun-withered body be discovered some day among the heat-blasted rocks and clay of the desert wearing a silly black-and-red garter twined about Ito arm? Good thing Moira hadn’t seen him in Clive's offices. And, thinking of Moira, what was her part in all this? Strange if they both were working at the same problem through divergent channels. Ho wae nrw forced to admit to himself that she might have been tolling the truth about that pistol, that she had drawn It as a precautionary measure.. Mad It been Hasid Pasha she was spying upon, or her devoted suitor? Or again, had there been a third person beyond the little library? "Four days." he wrote large serose his mental elate 'hen underlined it It Wit sinly iogkal then to aeaumo that on the 3Sd of Novtat-
