him.
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.

gleam, in that silence Latour seemed
to hear the wild beating of his own
heart, and twice the words forming in
Ills brain had rushed to Ids lips. 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

Arthur and Guinevere? When we part

minded mo just now—1 am married!"
Dale Everett?" 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.
She turned full to him again, gazed at

man’s face.
He drew a quick breath, about to speak,
when she went on, quietly:
“Ah, we were younger then, in years:
very children, in world knowledge.
Since I have lived ages in ezperience.
Now I know that the legend of Guine- I
vere does not belong to ancient Britain, i
Indeed, it is no legend, but the crystal- 1
fixing of a living, bitter truth. It be

and ever will! Who may say but she,
that archetype of woman”—she waved j
her whip to the Sphiuz, towering grim 1
and hoar in the moonlight beyond the
river—"was the Guinevere of some im
memorial Arthur?"
“Who knows, indeed?" 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

"And of her?" she rejoined quickly.
•I haVe answered that already," he
said quietly. "She lias been dead to me
ten long years. You are too much a
woman of the world to hold the man
responsible for the follies of the boy.”
“The world does not teach us wisdom
always." she answered, with thrilling
pathos. "The weakness of onr youth
pursues ns often. A man may crash—a
woman only suffer fur it!"
They were face to face in the broad
moonlight. A tenderness unusual to it
swept her face and settled in her eyes,
g:tzing into his. deep—dark—passionate!
Impulsively be seized her hands, half
drawing her to him, as lie whispered:
“What do yon mean?"
She did not answer: her eyes fell lie

"Tellmo!" ho urged. "Do you mean
that in the past 1 was blind enough"
Gently she withdrew her hands. Her
bosom rose and fell in tumult, as she
answered, very low:
“Hush! i was weak then, but then I
had the right to weakness. You your

Latour's trained ear caught the gut

But the clatter ou the stones drowned
all of the grunted reply save the words:
"Binta quiesa—bukara—quiesa tit-

Low as the words were Edith's ear

with a smile, "yet they told one truth, pointing to heaven from the immemorial
The first one said we were both English past. 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

“Easily; it is not far. But not to- j^tless pacing on the sand,

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! My Launcelot!”

“AtlagU Sly Launcelot!"
Just at sunset Latonr lifted the lady
to the hack o' his best Arab mare. Har
ris painfully mounted the cavalry horse,
and tlie Nubian syce ran ahead, waving
his white wand and shouting his warn
ing to pedestrians:
“Oa! yer ragll Oat oa! yer bint!”
(“Get out of the way, man! Get out,
woman!”)
And at the moment from the lofty
minaret of the Moeqne el-Aksar near the
evening stillness was cut by the voice of
the mnezzin intoning his musical call to
prayer:
“Allah II Allah! Mohammed resonl
il Allah!” (“God is God! Mohammed is
God’s prophet!")
Little looking the invalid, her dose

Edith Martindale looked down on tbs

"Quite anrooos." she said. "While

“I should hate to lie disappointed,”
she rejoined. “I do not bear disappoint

For awhile they gallojicd on in si

Bhoubra road, their path back to the
city. But they were not now the sole
night riders on the desert. The Bedouin
at the tombs, still watching them, now
gave rein to his steed, glided out of the j
shadows and sped straight for the dis- 1
tent tents. But. looking only at the
companion by his side, Latour took no
note of him; only spoke abruptly and in- j

“It seems to me but yesterday!"
"To me it has seemed so ever since we
