North Sea had stirred the world.
Why had he never married—the
greatest Englishman of his time?
We did not name him. Monsieur

unusual race. seamed and crossed
with lines. the mouth ilrm. almost
harsh. with the muscles developed
along the Jaw. But it was not these
featunee that impressed one.
It was the man's extraordinary
eyes. They were inn and set far
apart. The color you immediately
saw—a dark metallic blue—the blue
of certain remote spaces in the
tropic sky. The lids droopcd. giving
the man an expression at once of
serenity and menace.

all human effort seemed equally

only old and accomplished nothing.
And. on this evening. he felt acute—

England had only extended fingers
on this great desert running south
into impenetrable mystery. She had
pnly the peace of the bayonet: and
behind the indOlcnce, the listless
resignation of these desert peoples.
there seemed to lie a vast. inherent
hatred of the invader that never

It was great honor that England
He might. in the end. he-
come Viceroy of-India or Sirdnr of

impressed with the me to; what
he psid—his youth u re-
quired of him. When he should
cone up out of this desert he would
be old. And what had he Mt
would he get out of these great
honors?
The man rode slowly. holding the
nervous Arab in. The strange. in-
congruous current of the city passed
him. but he was thinking of some-
thing else; and he gave it no at-
tention. '
There was another thing. He
mused vaguely. He had seen on
this very day. in the shade of a
magnificent flowering vine. a young
soldier and an English girl. They
were sitting on a bench; nelther‘
moved, and only their hands
touched. They did not speak. and

HE REALIZED THAT THE
IdORSE COULD NOT GO ON.
yet their faces wore like the faces
of angels!
This was s. thing that he had al-
ways hated. It was not the enemy
in the front that threatened the
army. it was these loving creatures
in the rear. Ruthless and deter.
mined. he had set his face against
it. The army should be celibete.
And he had broken and‘elbowed out
the men who would encumber them-
selves with a loving heart.
Well. he had lived by the rule
himself! There had been no woman
about him on the frontiers of the
Empire! When he came. now and
then, to London. the current of life
in which they moved failed to touch
him. They were creatures apart.
He knew of them only what up-
neared before the eye. And. while
he saw the beauty which they as-
sembled, he saw also the thousand
follies that seemed to give them
pleasure, and he wondered in what
mysterious charm lay their appalling,
influence on. his? soldiers. ' ' ' ' " ' 7 7'
And on this evening. alone in this
mysterious city. he began to be as-
sailed by a curious consuming won-
der. lie began to doubt the value
of the one thing that he had gotten
out of life. W'hat was this other
thing that gave an ignorant soldier
and a common housemaid. motion-
less nnd silent in the shadows of
a flowering vine. the faces of the
angels?
What did this mysterious word
mean that men used to designate this
thing? He knew what the love of life
was, for he had seen every sort of
creature tight desperately to live;
and he knew the love of gain and the
love of power. But men. all men.

skirted the Piactm and
Place Esbekiyl
when a procession stopped him.
The sacred-carpet had enliven .
n-om Mecca. The streets before
him were gorged with people. and
the whole city echoed witlr weird
Oriental cries. There was little new
tohimintheorgyotthesenstive
ceremonies. with their riot of sound
and color. and their vast medley of
tribes assimbled. iron: the waste
places of the firth. ‘
For a moment. as a soldier. he ap-
roved the precaution taken by the
nglish authorities—e. company of
troops thrown in. here and there. to
divide the tribes and the horde of
natives that surged along with every
color. and with‘every sort of cry.
and every extravagant gesture.
He approved. too. the diplomacy
that gave these regiments a gala air
with their bands of music. as though
they rivaled the Arab and the fellah
in doing honor to the holy relic.
while. in fact. they held the fingers
of England on the city lest they
slip oi! in a sudden rising of these?
native hordes.
Then his mind returned to its.
reflection, with an idle interest he
watched the strange. half-naked.
primeval creatures that appeared.
issuing out of the wt limitless
ocean of shnd that lay endlessly“
the south. from tribes. old and un-
changed since the days of Abraham
--creatures from the uncharted
deeps of the Sahara. naked and sub-
sisting like the Baptist.

cities of this sand-swept wilderness

could say. Perhaps the magician
and the wizard 0: old times lived on
there. And there in ancient tomb.
in honeycombed walls sitting full of
sand. in strange wilderness eternal-
ly dead and silent. old.wise men
abode who knew the ancient norm!»
las by which the inexorable course
0: nature could be turned aside.
Perhaps they maintained there to
this day that mysterious power
which the sacred books of_s.il re-
ligions agree that certain dread
members of the race in
the morning of the world.
And the streaming horde. with its
cries and colors. slashednnd inter-
sected by smart European regi-
ments. mingling the drum and the
Highland pipe with the weilings of..
the desert. became a thing unreal-'-
a fantastic background for that
other mystery that so profoundly
disturbed the man.
And while he sat in the saddle
looking down at these wild people of
the desert. another looked down at
him.
A woman. accompanied by the
resident doctor and s. maid. entered
the English hotel on the other side
of the square. crossed the foyer and
got into the lift. As she passed. a
little dapper man. bald. dressed like
am who is a social register. spoke
to his companions pouring a cup of
tea at a table by the wall.
‘Tbat's Nelly Iandsear—used to
be a famous Southern beauty in the
States. Jove! She's gone to pieces!
Had a devil of a life! Married
Bristed Amen-dirty little bastl
My word. she was a wonder once!
Looks ilfty today."
And he began to tell the dramatic
story of this woman and the
creature that she had married. the
story of a tireless chart to keep a
weakllng on his feet. to make a man
of him. The story over again of
Daude's “Kings in Exile." A story
that was a tragedy of failures.
Another installment of this thrill-
ing story will appear in our next
women, and they did it ’with
