First of the men who carried it was Jared, Maryam's father. He lagged an instant as Lafla’s eyes fell upon him and one of the Arabians ran for- ward, prodding him with the point of a sword. T"e bearer in the rear was another Heurew—a man of the vil- lage whom the woman recognized. She shrank back. The faces of the party were toward the mountain and she was at their right,.but there was danger of their perceiving her. ‘The litter-bearers, with Antonius prostrate on the <loth-wrapped poles that they carried, marched past the shoulder of the mountain and out of sight. Maryam and her mother, their heads low, moved swiftly after, urged forward by blows from the guards who followed them. In pairs the Arabians also marched out of view. Twoscore of them were in the party. Last of all came their chlef. His footsteps slowed as he neared the point where the goat path led to Omar’s cave. Lalla, leaning for- ward again, could see him halt and watch his men as they ascended the height, his head tilting slowly back- ward. ‘Then, with a nod of satisfaction, he swung on his heel and moved,rapidly toward the cave. Omar took a forward stride and awaited him. The raider made a grave obelsance as he reached the stranger, to which Omar responded by a slight movement of his head. They spoke together in low tones— so low that Laila could not hear the words., She saw the Arablan’s glance light upon her and saw him gesture toward her. She trembled, but re- gained courage when Omar waved his hand ingdifferently. The chief of the ralders looked at her agaln, more closely, shrugged his shoulders and with another deep salaam turned Omar stood watching until the Arablan, too, had vanished. Then he stepped back further into the cavern. “It seems,” he sald to Lalla. “that you are notably unfortunate of late— bound twice in 12 hours. hand and foot and mouth.” The corners of his eves crinkled in mirth. “But behold!" He motioned toward the village. “Your house is iting you; there 1s no soldier in e maiden and her father are gone. Will u stay in the cave and enjoy our bounty—or will you go to your home?" Laila rose to her feet. “If T have your permission, I shall return to my dwelling,” she sald. Omar glanced at the bondsman. “Slave,” sald he, “both your masters are gone. Perhaps they never will re- turn. What will you do? Return to Jezreel, or——"" He swung to the left and pointed. “There in the distance is _Samaria." He waited for the slave to answer.
