A messen- ger appeared at her hotel, and delivered this cryptic me in broken French: “Abdul-el- | Bedowi, the swordsmith, sends word that the blade the Lalla requested will not be ready until the chehere next coming.” Plainly, whatever preparations he had to make would require this much time, and Dagger set herself to find enter- tainment and diversion for its duration. Being restless, she soon exhausted the attractions of Algiers, and journeyed hither and thither at will, choosing her direction arbitrarily in accordance with what she was told she might expect in certain places. She W%lfled away the interval as best she could, visiting corners that had es- caped her, playing bridge with a success which drew attention she disliked, writ- a long letter to Uncle Jim, who had mled petulantly inquiring when she planned to come home. “Don’t hold it against me, dear,” she wrote to the old man, “put perhaps I won't ever come back. have an itch for the out trail. I want to see all there is to be seen, live the dreams I dreamed on the range. You'd like this country. It's not so unlike Texas, except there’s 5o little growth on the desert. The horses aren’t bad, small, but powerful. And the men are fine, first-rate fighters, and honest after their own fashion. I expect to know a _few shelkhs before I continue East. Don't worry, though. Your Dagger is as quick on the trigger as ever—I popped over a gazelle at 50 yards a week ago.” Finally one day a hotel servant came to her with the announcement that an Arab waited below for her. The Sidi, himself, she saw at a glance; but he was dreéssed more meanly, in a common halk and & burnous hurned almost brown by the sun. He bowed to her be- fore she could speak. “That which the swordsmith prepared is waiting, Lalla Mezrag,” he sald. “Wfl_ly 1t please you to nf;re for a journey?' “But what do I bring?” she asked. “All that you will. You have a maid?"” “Yes." He stroked his beayd reflectively, heed- less of the curious glances cast at him by passing guests. “She is trustworthy? Ah, then, bid her journey on to Alexandria with what you do not require for rough traveling ~—breeches, boots, women's garments for the tents. But remember that over must go burnous and haik, for it is not well & Roumi journey- ing into the desert.” “And when shall I be ready?” “Tomorrow, at this hour, be at the first turn beyond the Beni Mansour road. Salam Aleikoum!” The remainder of that day Dagger spent in feverish paration. Her maid must be provided for, money obtained, instructions left for her mail, & scanty wardrobe selected—scanty, for she was determined to travel light. One of the knives she had purchased from the swordsmith she hung by a looped sheath irom the belt of her automatic; breeches and boots were easily assembled; under- clothmr she selected with an eye to durabllity of fabric. And aside from this she burdened her- self with no more than a couple of dresses, with shoes and stockings to match. The stout bags in which she packed her gear wouldn’t have burdened & single camel. A few parting instruc- tions to her maid, who was disposed to be teary and perturbed, and ylelded re- luctantly to her mistress' instructions to maintain silence, and WaS ready. Nothing remaining to occupy her, but the need for rest. A motor conveyed her to the spot the Sidi had designated next morning, and she bade the driver set her down with her luggage, regardless of isolation and absence of any sign of a cara- van. There were no houses very near, merely a farm on the hiliside, a huddle of roofs up a wadi. ‘The morning was very still; Algiers disseminated none of the roar and bus- tle of a Western city, the distant hoot- ing of a train was dulled to an animal- like sound. Dagger was wholly delight- ed, confident. And she had her reward when presently the ugly head of & camel bobbed down the wadi from the direc- tion of the village, and a string of the clumsy beasts came into view, riders swaying to their pace. ‘The leader halted beside her, a grave smile showing through his white beard. “You are punctual, Lalla,” said the 8id1, sliding from his saddle. “Do you think you can stand the pace of the djemel? It is not as the horse’ “I have tried it,” Dagger answered eagerly. “I don’t think I shall hinder ou His smile broadened. “Good! This is your beast—Fatima. For a camel she is kindly. Your lug- gage my people will bestow elsewhere.” He called an order in Arabic, and the camel Fatima was bidden to kneel, Wwhich she did grunting and protestin :1‘" I:gglel;‘[lflgrnlns increasing T cl to the saddle and adjusted her legs. The Sidi drew a hfl{ and burnous similar to his own from a thong on his saddle-bow, and draped them around her, with a brief word of apology. “I1f the garments seem hot at first, Lalla, soon you will find that their :hml:;n}:u also sheds the heat,” he ad- er. “You are comfortable “‘L«‘:hnfr :We hxave far to go.” s ng before night obhscured the rugged seacoast. along which the clrflln plodded a sigzag trail, Dagger's bones ached and her muscles tormented hLer; but she never exhibited her feeli; gs, and when the evening Malt was called contrived to slip down from her beast unaided, and limp to the tent prepared for her.
