— ( ~ . ... ■ ———— STORY FROM THE START Rosemary Crofton Is vlsltlns the Kovernor’a palace in Fea, Morocco, with her aunt. Lady Treirarten. A Frenchman. De Vriea, makes love to her. He tells her of the Kald. a mysterious person In the service of the sultan Rosemary repulses De Vries* love. Next morning, while riding, she is thrown from her horse and rendered unconscious She is rescued by, Riff tribesmen and meets the Kald, who turns out to be an Englishman The Kald says it would jeopardise his cause to return her to Fea Pete, an Australian, and Zarifa. a servant, are assigned to care for her She learns the Kald s name is Westwyn Martengo. a Spaniard, la attracted by her beauty He subtly sets about gaining her favor by pretending to help her to escape Westwyn offers to do anything he can for her Martengo Induces Rosemary to go to his house at night His actions arouse her suspicions. Westwyn arrives In time to save her and Is challenged to a duel by the Spaniard.

CHAPTER IV—Continued ,-10— “You are willing to fight In our way. Sbli'-" asked the host, looking anxiously at the Englishman, lie was disturbed that a matter of such Importance must be decided during his father’s absence. The honor of the village wtis In his hands, but though any form of warfare_appealed to his sporting spirit he knew that he ought not to endanger the Kald. That man's life was worth more to A" I-el Krim than half a dozen tribes, yet Menebbhe toad been brought up in the Riff tradition. Ttoe challenged man must fight Il was In the hands of ."lah, be de-_ cided. Heaven would decide the Issue. “I will fight In any fool way you like.” returned Westwyn impatiently, lie. too, was thinking of Abd el Krim, of his unfinished Aork. D—n the girt! Women always get themselves Into messes. Better get the thing over quickly as possible. Pity he hadn't killed the fellow up there. Menebbhe signaled to a servant and the youth, black, narrow-eyed, with a Scar across his lip. brought two pistols. They were the long-barreled native weapons. Inlaid with Ivory and silver. They are twins.” said the voting chief. “One only will beheaded. You, Sldl, can decide who chooses.* The Englishman shrugged indifferent shoulders. "I'll leave that bit of flummery to Martengo.” he said. “As you will. The pistols will remain in my charge tonight. When the sun rises we will go up the hill. At a signal you will both fire, but only one of you will have an effective weapon." •'lt's madness!” broke in Being. •The sultan will have your head for this. If ti e Kald Is killed the French will l»e in the Iliff within a month. You are sparrows without him." He glared at Menebbhe, who responded gravely. “Os a truth, It is likely that our Ilves will go with the Kaida. but this is a custom. The Spaniard has been beside us in battle. He can claim this duel. Who am I to deny It In the face of our tradition? Our sufety Is in the hands of Allah." ‘‘lt Is se’tled," said Westwyn, "I'm going to gt-t an hour or Two of sleep." He took courteous leave of Menebbhe. conscious. In preoccupied fashion. of a •mrious glance from the servant who held the pistols, When he was outside he remembered that he tmd once thrashed the man for stealing “He’S t>e up to some monkey-trick If he can." decided the Englishman before nl* thoughts concentrated on the work he must do before morning. Reports, schemes, orders, all to be wurged out iff an hour or two. A letter to Abd-el Krim—he'd have a shot at exonerating Menebbhe. Heinz had better get down to the coast if anything happened. And Rosemary? He stopped short The headman could be trusted to look after her. He would make Mohamed swear her safety on his bead and his eyeth Whew, surely the sky was lightening. He went up the hill at a double. For a year Zarifa had been a memser of the headman's household. She had free run of the women's quarters. It had been easy for her. flattened behind an inner door, to hear every word of the discussion concerning the duel. She. too. had noticed the way Farraj, the black servant, had looked at Westwyn and she knew the cause of his hatred. Instinct warned her that she must watch the man. so. without any particular plan, she drifted after him when he went out « shadow in the denser shadow of the wall Farraj stepped cautiously. He bad caught the Spaniard's eye as be was leaving and .Infused as much meaning into the glance as possible. Surely the foreigner would see his chance and be willing to pay for It? What a safe and pleasant way of retenge! Martengo was waiting behind a bmilder. There was whispered eoncersation, “This Is your chance," murmured the slave. "You must kill him." “How can IF retorted the Spaniard trrltfiNy. His courage was cooling with the delay. -You are the best shot la the mountains," aald Farraj "It should be easy for you" -But suppose I don't choose the loaded pistol! How am I to knowF A thought atraek him He bent ft*-

ward, with lowered voice. “Is there j any way of knowing?” Farraj grinned. “The pistols were ' twins," he said, “but there is a mark . on one where a bullet hit It. You will see the long scratch across the metal. Choose that one and It shall ; be loaded." “Dios, a clever idea!" Money passed j between them. “There will be more , tomorrow. If you carry out your plan you will be rich." “It is settled." said Farraj. “You | need fear no more.“ Zarifa. crouching behind a smaller j bowlder, had been unable to hear the ; conversation, but she was Impressed : by the attitude of conspiracy and she had heard the clink of money. Softfooted she glided back to the house, and watched Farraj go tn to his master. There was a murmur of voices. V'Shall I load the pistols. Sid I?" asked the slave. “Bring them here and do it in front of me." ordered Menebbhe. Zarifa. breathless behind a curtain, watched the breaches snapped open and a bullet slipped Into one. "Leave them with me." ordered the young headman, “and Wake me before the light." The woman drew a breath of relief. . They wer/going to sleep. She would ; get her chance. In that moment she realized how terribly afraid she had | been. - I ,-r a !<•: g tin e she crouched in the passage, waiting, damp with anxiety. ' for the master to sleep. At last, re- ■ assured by the man's even breathing, ' Zarifa crept into his n«om The pis- < tols were very close to the mattress 1 whereon lay Menebbhe. his face turned ’ to the wall. Swift and silent as a cat the Rlffi woman stole across the floor, seized the pistol's and slipped out. clutching them in cold, stiff fingers. ‘ Her idea was merely to remote the bullet. Then no slaughter would be | done. A light flickered from the har- ! etn room. and. as the breeches were • stiff, she crept up to It. It was as she snapped oi>en the second that she 1 noticed the murk. It was unmistak-' j able; a dent across the butt She ; gazed at it reflectively, felt It with I her finger, and then remembered the ' whispered conversation between Far- ; raj and the Spatfiard. For a moment i her instinct was illuminated by some- ’ thing near clairvoyance. Rubbing her ' finger up and down the chipped meta!. I she felt it was like the medium through which the plot was revealed to her. but not clearly. She suspected. That was all. The pistols were marked. It might be that the Spaniard knew which one to choose. ! With clenched teeth she took out the ' bullet. hesitated a minute, then rammed it into the other weapon. Noiselessly she crossed the headman’s room and replaceci the pistols by his couch. When dawn came she was asleep on her mat outside Rosemary's door and there was a smile on her lips (TO BK CONTINUED.) Matter of History \ Confirmed by Coin Coins do more than throw corroborative light on historical events. In j some cases they actually supply data missing in the records which would otherwise remain in the limbo of forgotten things. There is an old tradition of the Christian church, for instance, that the Apostle Thomas, familiarly known as Doubting Thomas, went to India as a missionary. The Apocrypha con- j tains a book known as the “Acts of St. Thomas," in which Is revealed how the disciple converted one Gondapharnes. kiug of India, to Christianity. As far as history can tell us. no such king of India ever lived. But In 1838 > coins were found in northwestern India bearing the name Goudapharnes. . Thus the tradition was corroborated and the apocryphal book found to contain the truth. Shortly afterward other coins of the same period were discovered, lacking the name, but bearing a new Inscription. This lime It was “Great Saviour. King of Kings." No numismatist will go so far as to declare that this innrriptiou refers to the king's conversion. but It may very likely be so. — Crawford Wyman in the Saturday | Evening Post. -i Female of the Species Absent-mindedness is sometimes deadly, and doubly so in the female of the species. Or. possibly it wasn't absent-mindedness. Anyway, when Blimson left for the office the other morning his wife reversed a certain dally ‘custom, or at least she got it mixed up with certain other domestic duties. As he passed out onto the front porch she was standing In the kitchen door with a skillet In her hand. And she hurled the skillet at him and threw a kiss at the cat. which was trying to climb up onto the kitchen table.

Royal Wife Rebuked by Prince Consort Albert, prince consort of Queen Victoria. filled a difficult, thankless office with tact and success, but was misunderstood and disliked by Eng lishmen of his generation almost without exception, according to a writer In the Kansas City Star. Brought from an insignificant German town and comparative poverty, at the age of twenty he found himself king in all but name of the most powerful country .and wedded to a very trying wife. In public the queen displayed adoration and a sentimental solicitude for him. in private she was petulant and exacting. But he bore hts trials pa tiently and once in a while gave his wife a quiet and effective lesson. One evening while he was dining with the council of the Royal academy a messenger arrived from Victoria saying that she desired his presence at Buckingham palace. The prince merely maided. Half an hour later a second messenger said the queen was waiting and required the prince to return at once.’ Again he merely nodded. In another thirty minutes arrived a peremptory order: “The queen commands your royal highness’ immediate re turn.” Cool and phlegmatic as ever, even under this final humiliation, the prince again dismissed the utessenget with a noth He remained with his hosts of the evening and. sleeping elsewhere, did not return to the pal- ■ ace that night. > BiEurope Saved at Cha'one A great horde of northeastern peo- I pie was led into western Europe in 1 the Ffftfi century’ by Attila, king of the Hons. For a time these semi- ! barbarians swept all before them, but finally they were met at Chalons, in eastern France, in the year 451 A. D., by the combined forces of the Romans and the Goths under Aetius and Theodoric. Attila sustained a crushin defeat and central Europe was saved from the invaders. —New York Herald-Tribune.
