CHAPTER VH—Continued —ls—- — sultan did not answer. He sat •very still In hl« hand-woven woolen djeilaba. no different from those of his followers. His very white linen and the skull cap be wore. Instead of •the u*ual twisted rope egull. accentuated the darkness of his face. “You tnean to move the guns across?” “A couple of batteries. I’ll trust most to our rifles, but no one must ®uess. This must be between you and me. i> Sldi The Spaniards will have to be tempted farther up front the river and there must be no obvious movement among the hills. The men can march by night, when the airplanes are safe at Adjlr." “They never venture far Inland! 81-mtllah. what an amount of lead they have wasted among the rocks!" Th.- sultan's gesture was contemptuous “You think peace will follow a Spanish defeat?” “I am sure of It." said Westwyn. Patiently lie repeated his arguments France did not want to rule the Riff. She w>rs out to insure her own territory Already tired of what she con sldered a fruitless waste of life. Paris had cut down the war vote by a milliard francs. “It is Spain who is our enemy." he ended. Still Abdel Krlm hesitated. It was against his whole policy to risk so much. From the first his campaign had been one of pretense, sniping here, a raid there, an exaggerated suggestion of force, never an open attack. “Suppose you are mistaken and Petain pushes into the mountains?** “Then we lose." said the Englishman. but hla carelessness did not deceive bls chief. “You are very certain." "Yea.” Westwyn leaned forward. ■“lt s our chance. Sidl—a desperate one If you like, but the only one. We've got to force the Issue." His determination began to have Its effort «»n the sultan. The steadiness of the queer. light eyes was hypnotic. “Risk it. man. Call the French bluff!” Westwyn smashed his list on the ground. The two men looked at each other while the slave held his breath, aware of the clash of the wills. “Allah has given you wisdom." said Abd el Krlm at last. “It shall be as you wish." Westwyn strode up to bls house with a smile on set lipa. He had forgotten hla horse, still tethered by the sultan's gate. God! What a game! They were bound to win. If only the news didn't leak out. He'd have to keep El Krim up to the point No. the man wouldn't let him down. He’d be on edge all the time, but once he'd Clven his word he’d stick to It. With his mind full of such thoughts. Westwyn entered his house by the nearest way. which happened to be the littleused harem door. Consequently, he almost fell over Rosemary. who was sitting on a pile of stones inside. “Lord. what a day!” thought the man. and dragged his brain back from the water power tn the southern hills. “I say. I’m most awfully sorry. I forgot you were here." “Womtm and war! They don't mix well.” rewrted Rosemary, smiling and annoyed. Westwyn explained. *Tve hist come from Abd-el Kriav He was full of news.” “You look bursting with It"' The man laughed. *T say let's have a trace, or do you want to prosecute lire for trespassing?" He studied the elender figure In a short red and blue striped skirt, adapted from a barracan The Indigo Jumper bared arms which were faintly sunburned and the aidtlea. too. were bare, above prim-ro.M'-.vellow native slippers. Rosemary blushed. “My solitary pair of stockings has deserted me—piecemeal have I burled them! I am doing the sun cure. I hope you approve." The gallantry of her appealed tc Westwyn. “With all my worldly goods I have thee endowed- -temporarily, of course—but I don’t know If you'll find anything of much, use among them." "You give me leave to investigate?” The strain was over. Rosemary, defeated. felt there was no need to fight any more. However unwilling she was to accept It she knew she could rely on thia man's protection—horrible word! ■ ' CHAPTER VIII Rosemary stayed tn the yard though the stones of bar seat ware •harp. She must forget what she stigmatUed aa the “ridiculousness” of the last week. If she treated the situ atlou a« perfectly normal. It would •become to of course. She resolved to Intervet herself in the Riffian war. to study the customs and politico of the people. In time the might get aa ex Sled about them aa the Kald. For an Instant she mw herself an African loan of Arc. Then her bare tegs .atracted her attention. “Economical." she thought. “Healthy, but not at all -engaging I” Her thoughts flew on. ’Zarif*!" she called. “Isn’t there a nlrror in the whole villageF "Yes, yes." shrilled the handmaiden.

And. whan the light was almost gone, she burled Into the J 2 WltO m anjf "wvtJwnJu iMwWij framed In gilt Tt belongs to Sidl tnd grateful to land It to a bride" am SSSXJfcX -rlfth -OF*mf Jlmr nAttlTnHnfl Meeting an old acquaintance,” ahe re- ■

Allah has given you beauty. The Kald may well be pleased.” The words rolled off Rosemary’s new security. She was glad she was beautiful, for It made things more exciting. Some day. perhaps. Westwyn would realise it. Her cheeks began to burn. She must not look back. There were things she couldn’t bear to remember, worst of all the moment when the Kald had picked her bodily off the couch and told her , to play the game. D—n him. she | thought, and then pushed away her ’ resentment, packing ft down amidst ■ layers of common sense. It was no use regretting anything. She must • begin all over again. They sat on the couch, talking long ‘ after Ahmed had cleared away the dishes, delighted at the destruction which proved his skill. Westwyn was preoccupied, though he took in every j detail of the girl’s grace, as site twist- ■ ed into the most comfortable position j against the brilliant bolsters. * “He can't get away from his soldiery," 1 thought Rosemary, but the man's mind was fixed on pajamas! What the deuce did she sleep in, he wondered Why on earth hadn’t he thought of it before. His teeth bit into the pipe > stem. Planning a southern offensive, decided his companion, half amused half annoyed. She moved restlessly j against the cushions, pushing them Into a better angle. “Do they always stuff their pillows with young potatoes?" “Yea. I think so—pretty neck rack Ing. isn't ItF returned Westwyn. regarding her as if she were a strategic puzxle. and wondering whether he could offer her some pajamas! Op ■ pressed by the problem, his leave tak ' Ing was somewhat disconnected. "I suppose Zarifa can make this into a decent bed’’ he remarked, prodding the hard, hempen couch. Hla (jaw wandered round the room, with its hare mud walls decorated with texts from the Koran, and its Islands ol I camp furniture upon a wa of matting. Tm afraid it's awfully uncomforta ble." he said. “I do hope you'll be all right. If you’ll wait a minute I'll g»>t ymi—"and he disappeared through I the door Into the yard. Rosemary sat on the window ledge contemplating a corner of starlit sky —lt looked as if it were a flower bed. She felt she could pick out the big ge*t stars and set them like candles on the table. Westwyn's footsteps came slowly across the yard He hesitated In the doorway, a bundle of pale-col- < orvd garments in his arms. His smile was guilty, but there was a twinkle in his eyes. “Look here, Rosemary—yon’ll have • to let me call you that: I can't say Mrs. Westwyn, can I?—it would be in discreet, I suppose, to ask what you do sleep in, but I thought perhaps you'd let me lend you these." H* 1 dumped the pajamas on the couch anti retreated, with the air of getting a* fhr away from them as possible. Rosemary struggled not to laugh His embarrassment made her mistress of the situation. “Thank you. awfully It’ll be a great improvement on a bar racsn So scratchy, you know, and my toes always get entangled in tht . fringe.” From sheer mischief she crossed to the couch and picked up a striped coat “I shall disappear in 11 altogether and never be found again.* | she said, measuring the arms. <TO hit CONTINVKIM Bond of Brotherhood Between Poetic Souh A certain young woman, a stenog- • rupher for a New York firm, is best known in an admiring suburban clr- ; cle as a “poetess." She jots her inspirations down in shorthand notes, transcribes them on her typewriter and submits the effusions to the hx-al j newspaper, which sometimes finds place for them. One morning as she was commuting from New Jersey then? was a heavy fog on the North river and the ferryboat was proceeding on its way I gropingly, with frequent stops and much whistling. At one time, out ot the gloom, a great hoarse whistle. ■ suggesting an ocean liner, sounded near. There was a stir of uneasiness among the crowded passeugens. and the poet's male companion looked up from his newspaper with a nervous j frown. “Are you afraid?" he asked of the poetess. “Afraid .’"— the word came with withering scorn. “Afraid! I? Why. i you know sbriley died by drowning." —Harper’s Magazine. Kidd Unjwrtly Condemned Information has recently been brought to light which would indicate that C»pt.
