Howard's memory, how- ever, she cherishes most. Dag- ger goes to Paris and meets there the Duc de Pontoise, a French nebleman who also falls in love with her, but she refused to marry him. She is determin- ed to follow around the world the route of a pilgrimage How- ard cnce took, visiting friends in Africa, India and China, sceking the answer to the riddle of life. In Algiers she locates Sidi Marut, Arab chieftain, first of the fricnds Howard visited, and he consents to take her on a journey into the desert. Chapter 29 BEYOND THE SAND DUNES Dagger enjoyed her experiences even while learning to adjust’ her- self to the camel’'s awkward gait Gradually, Sidi Marut relaxed his attitude of aloofness. He ride beside her on the march, and gtop at her tentdoor evenings, chat- | ting of the country they traversed, | had revolted against the degenera- ate modern interpretation of the Prophet’s message, and in the most distant oases of the Libyan Desert organized the nucleus of a reformed | creed which was spreading like| flame from Darfur to Chinese Tur- kestan. She was tempted to ask him their present mission, for day by day they continued along the sea-coast, | seldom out of sight of the waves, and she had supposed they would head inland for the desert; but she| was confident that she would ](-nm} moere by patience. And in the end| she was rewarded. They had almost reached the borders of Tunis, and were camped | in a grove of cedars. He came to, her that night, as she sat on herw saddle beside a small fire one of the | men had kindled for her—they were all kind, all treated her with exqui site courtesy, saluting her respect- fully as Lalla Mezrag, the Lady of the Lance. | “Lalla,” he began abruptly, “you must have wondered to what pur- pose we journeyed?” | “I haven't asked,” she pointed out, smiling. “And having remained discreet,” | he returned, smiling, too, “you shall be instructed. We of the Se-! nussi have difficulty in acquiring | arms sihce the war, and a part of my mission is to arrange for shm-1 ments. A boat has landed a quan- tity from Greece close by here. In the night we shall collect them. lf‘ the French discover us, now or lat- | er, there will be trouble for all whom they capture. Will you leave us, and go on to Tunis? I can spare you men and beasts. You| shall be safe.” “I wouldn't think of it,” cried| Dagger. “Why, I knew all the L:un~; runners on the Mexican border—or | part of it, at least. I know a lot about gun-running, Sidi.” His bow was a gesture of ap- plause. | That night there was much bus- | tling in the cedar grove. In the| would | © |find it, | away stealthy fashion added materially to the mileage; weeks slipped im- perceptibly into one another— and became months. Sometimes at first, they were in a country fairly well- watered, although mountainous; but after they had stolen past Hou- gourt, and crossed the Wadi Ig- harghar into the rear marches of Cunis the Sahara enwrapped them. Dagger became hard and ruddy- brown, the desert brown that is more red. She could ride all day, without weariness, drinking a few mouthfuls of murky water, eating 1 handful of dates or couscous or curdled milk or cheese, once in a while a mess of eggs. She learned Arabic, and conversed in jerky entences with fierce-eyed men. In after-years she came to learn omething of the anomalous posi- stretches, and were trusted with the truth, would have refused to be- lieve in her virtue but for the fact that Sidi Marut vouched for her. Sidi Marut was a great man in the des as great @ man as the Governors-General in their palaces | in Tunis and Algiers. She heard talk which indicated a relentless, undyinz hatred of foreign domina- tion In all the sanay hinterland of the desert, behind the sweep of the High Atlas, south to the Camerons and the Congo, the desert tribes and | their negro converts dreamed of the day when Islam should revive its conques But angely, Dagger’s racial pride wasn't affronted, perhaps be- cause Sidi Marut’s philosophy ap- pealed to her by its rugged honesty and sincerity. He believed in the virtue of the soul, in penitence, in self sacrifice, in triumph by works. In him was the stuff of the dissent- ers of the Reformation, a faith that vms saved from harshness by the |innate sweetness of the man. Do what you believe right, he preach- ed. Seek the truth, and when you make it yours. In love of Allah, in obedience to Alla Ilies salvation. Once they were attacked by a wandering tribe of Bedawli, pi lugers {who whirled out sandhill, and strove to come to; close quarters where their numbers | would have overwhelmed the Sidi’s men. Dagger had her first experience 10f human combat, and despite the sick feeling at the pit of her stom- ach as she cuddled her cheek to a rifle butt, it—until the Bedawi had whirled in retreat, leaving a -dozen sprawling figures, bare legs stick- ing grotesquely out of the folds of dirty burnouses. But the Sidi dis- missed her compunctions with a wave of the hand. “Those who would steal must be punished,” he said. “Those who would take human life must expect to lose their lives.” It was true, she admitted; but again she had brought home to her Howard's misgivings, and realized with increased clarity the processes his'mind had followed. In fact, al- Southeastern Juneau, ‘Alaska Ninth Annual Alaska Fair September 3, 4, 5 and 6th For information regarding exhibits write R. B. Martin, Manager or W. S, Pullen, Secretary most every day she was learning things which brought her into closer touch with him, making her appreciate more the fine balance of his attitude toward the problem of the spirit This was cspecially true after the caravan had reached its destina- tion, the oasis of Kufra, where himself, ruled Jointly as pmmll and feudal lord with a simplicity that was biblical. She was amazed by the relative poverty, the smallness of this cen- ter of an influential creed. A vil- word, | from behind a, she liked the thrill of | lage, scarcely a town, of white- washed mud houses; a few thou- sand people, an unpretentious mosque. And the thoughts which emanated from it were rocking a faith shared by millions of diverse races. Under Sidi Marut's tutelage, she grasped the psychology of the des- ert mind and the icealism and fan- soul of Islam, faith militant. Perhaps it was this very breath of fiery energy and earnest seek- ing for the solute which ulti- i mately spurred her restlessness. She liked to listen to the Sheik and his familiars, discussing the prob- lems of Islam and the ideal way of ineness, here that the West lacked. But presently she felt that she ihad léarned all that she required, and a great urge came to her to journey into the FEast. The Sidi \argued with her gently. Was she tion she filled. She realized that|not "happy? Yes. Why not linger {the strange men who visited the|on? In the oasis she was loved and van, or traveled with it for |respected. She might set an exam- iple to the women. T{ himself she should be a sister. The Sheikh had said publicly that she was fit to be the mother of warriors. But Dagger had no instinct for motherhood, {no more inclination to enter a harem than to reign in the Hotel de Pontoise. ! All she wanted or needed was the stimulation of her search for the ashes of Howard's memory—for that was what it amounted to. And so one morning she saig |goodby to the Sheikh and her other friends, and climb upon the {camel the Sidi held Yor her. He iwem with her, he and an escort of {picked fighting men. It was no i | trouble, he assured her, in reply to her protestations. There was work for him in Libya and Egypt. He'd jcarry her at least as far as a fron- |tier station, whence she might ar- irange for conveyance to Alexandria. | (Copyright, 1930, Duffleld and Co.)
