CHAPTER 2.—Lady Martindale tells Isitiiur that she does not love her husband, and that the lattyr knows it. Chapter Ijitour is likely to have trouble wi h some refractory Arabs encamped near the city. Lord Martindale is absent for a day - or two, but Edith remains at Cairo. PART III—CIIAPTEB TV. FROM the tombs op the past. The Arab marcs champed the foam from the bits that restrained their impa- tieuce through the narrow streets, al ready beginning to (Ui with evening pe destrians Behind, in seeming great dis comfort, jolted the Cockney groom, his clumsy hand upon the Turkish curb re strainin'; his spirited Horse into a rest less curvet, racking equally to rider and to ridden. For the Arab horse knows hut two gaits—the springy walk that carries him over ground as fast as the average trot, and the long, swinging gal lop that skims the ground with the grace and almost the swiftness of the gazelle. As they neared the ancient masonry of Bab-el-Nassr, or Gate of Victory, the moon rose over the eastern desert full and clear, throwing her light in patches through the houses and leaving the shadows blacker in the contrast. Latour called in Arabic to the sinewy syce, whose one white garment flickered in Advance without hint of his dusky legs and arms in the shadow. The man led ted, stood aside for them to pass, then ran back in the direction they had come. “I sent him back," Latour said, "as we are now past the streets and will meet no passers on the desert." But ere the lady could answer a swift, sidelong swerve of the mare she rode shook her in the saddle and almost slung her from it. At the same instant La tonr’s mare planted her forefeet, and with straight stretched nock peered into the heavy shadow of the gateway. One flashing glance of her rider s quick eye assured him that Edith had her horse well in hand, then it turned to the shadows for tha cause of alarm. A tall Arab leaned against the stones wrapped in a dingy houmous. Near him, within the gate, leaned another, equally motionless, the gleam of their drapery frightening the sensitive horses. But their intelligence quickly over mastered fear, and in less time Ulan it takes to tell, lioth broke into their long stride again. Not so Harris. His horse, less from sympathy than from bail handling, made h series of plunges that sent the cock ney, stimipless, upon his neck. There he clung fiercely, despairing terror on his face and clammy (>erspiration on liis brow. "Harris will never live through this ride,” Edith said, in amused pity. Tlie next instant Latour's horse wheeled: he gave Harris his conge. Thorough, Practical Instruction. Graduates assisted to positions. | JBY* Catalogue free.

But twice fiio.se (Mirtals of speech remained eloa-d. At last tlie womau spoke, and again as though eoutiuuiug a subject: "Yes. there is a world of things from those days that 1 recall so well.

This time there was eager interest in the man's tone. Noting it the woman turned away her face, an ugly shadow over it. and the lips curled iu a strange smile. But she answered simply: “Yes: he was the gnest of our cousin. Hoyne-Cecil, of the guards." "Did yon talk of me?" The flood of recollections sweeping through the man trembled on his voice.

Latour replied. “You yourself have told me that woman is the riddle of the agea." "Yes,” she weut on; "a Guinevere in ancient Memphis may have inspired the Titanic poem yonder. In Koine she would have spoiled the pretty moral fable by listening to the Tarquin. In France and England today she is the victim of couveuance, that octopus grasping all that is best of ns to crush relentless in its slimy tentacles. In Paris she may drive her pony ptueton in the Bois, la ricne du demi-monde; in London she only lunches with his Highness of Wales!" There was bitterness in the tone, though it floated low and musical upon the desert night; and the eyes that held him iu their darkening gleam grew open scandal like" "Pardon me," Latonr interrupted. •1 had forgotten that in boyish memories of hi: ii."

Tlie silence tiefitting those man- brooded over the lovely picture, unreal and fantastic as a mirage exhaling from the desert sands. “How cool and restful that depth of shadow looks!” Lady Martindale said, pointing to Uie massed blackness thrown almost over them by the mausoleum of the Saltan Bergook. "Its invitation to dismount and share its quiet is resist less.” Without reply Latonr threw himself from the saddle to assist her easy dis mount, looping the bridles of both mares under their lore shoulders, more from habit than through fear of desertion. Then the woman sat upon a fallen pil lar. the man pacing now in the moon light, now in the deep shadow, through which her form gleamed vague and ghost like in the gloom. Not of the dead past, but of the living present, seemed the thonghte of both; and she went on as though not inter rupted: “And you remember how 1 jested aliout her and Elaine? Poor little Elaine! She—the type of weakness and anreeist- auce in that grand epic of the passions— was the type of woman, too. And Elaine of onr day went—downward with the flood!" The man stood still, his face in full light Over it passed a flickering mem ory; but an impatient gesture was his sole reply. "Ah, strange, truly, are those revenges brought in by the whirligig of time," Edith went on slowly. “But stranger still the reversal of that epic’s moral; for 'twas godlike Arthur's self from whom Lauucelot would to” On his face the memory came back, deepening to wondering pain; but be only gasped: “Great Godl You know?" “Yes, I know,” she answered in un- rlianged tone. “The clash of sabers by moonlight is too romantic not to make echo, and sudden vanishing of maidens from enchanted towers may be followed by quest too eager even for most dis creet ogres to keep secret Besides, Capt. Arnold entertained us at Newport that summer; and you know what sieves young officers are!" “And the—she fled from him after that night?" There was neither pain nor eagerness in Latour's voice—only a dull curiosity. | “Yes; she fled from New Orleans. But"—and genuine surprise crept into the woman’s voice—"do you mean that himself, "they must be strangers. Al most every Arab in Cairo knows me; every one of them knows my horses! Some of the sheik's tribe probably.” The Bab-el-Nassr was left behind. The horses, scenting the desert, stretched into a sweeping gallop in the fresbening even ing air. The moon, now hanging her silver disk clear above the horizon, melted the yellow sands into a placid sea and her light toned the shadows of tlie Tombs of tlie Caliphs. On slender minaret and tumbling arch the moon gleamed with softening touch, and be hind them ^!ie tipped tlie towers of the citadel and domes of the mosques with molten silver. Suddenly Latcur broke the silence. “Thank you. so much!" be said simply. “And for very little," she answered, not hesitating one instant, “Even in the east I do not need tlie harem guard. What an absurd paradox is the thing we call ‘society,’ that an absurdity like Harris could condone onr indiscretions" —she paused imperceptibly—"were we indiscreet? 1 have been long, and often, alone with you, with curious eyes to fol low us and busy tongues to comment, too. What was correct tor Edith Van der Huysen is surely seemly for Lady Martindale.” In the softening moonlight her face was turned full to him. It seemed less the face of yesterday titan that of long ago; the eyes deeper, darker, more tender than he had ever felt them. “But 1 do thank you!" he repeated earnestly. “As you say, the gossips are absent; and yon are now—married!" She did not answer, but she looked at him again with a strange expression on her face. Tlie moon, gleaming white and strong, made even distant objects plain as day; and hail Latour glanced behind him he might have noticed a Bedouin mount his horse amid the ruins of the caliphs’ tombs, ride out into the shadow of a great dome and watch their retreating forms from under his hand. To the southward a few dark specks dotted the desert like molehills—the only breaks in that moonlit sea of sand. “What are those low hills?" Edith asked, as she pointed her whip south. “I do not remember them before.” “They are tents, not hills,” he replied. “The messengers of the recusant sheik for whom I gave up the Suez trip ar rived only at dawn.” "How 1 should like to visit them!" 1 she said with eager interest. "I have heard.so much and seen so little of these ytm (jjj no t know?” desert kings. Can we not ride that far? “No; how should I?" and he resumed “Easily; it is not far. But not to- j^tless pacing on the sand, night," he answered. “The Arabs keep “But in all these years have you never early hours always, and these are in open maJe j n( , u j r y about her?’ disaffection to the viceroy.

In the impulse to i break her fall, he had thrown his arm about her. She did not recoil; a wild joy thrilled through him tliat she nestled closer in its pressure. For what might have been seconds, might have been ages—for ail the man recked—they stood thus. Suddenly the stately head, resting on his bosom, was lifted; the face, glow ing and tender, was raised to his, and as the Inminons, liquid midnight of her eyes melted into his own it fell upon his shoulder. A dizzy whirl mounted to his brain as he felt the warm sigh from the parted scarlet of her lips! His own crashed down upon them in one long, clinging, passionate kiss. Slowly her long, lissome anus stole up about his neck, tho strong, slim fingers interlaced as to unlock nevermore. And again those eyes burned into his soul as. tlie glow of passion hot upon her cheek, her lips again sought his. with the whispered sigh: "At last!
