The cup! Some one had sent it rolling, | bumping and clattering across the stone floor. Merciful Heaven, help! There was a man—standing on the coping of the balcony—clearly silhouetted against the moonlight and the luminous sky. He was hanging on a rope—or hold- ing to it, as he stood on the balcony ledge—and he had kicked the tin cup |into the room as he sought foothold. Had she not gone and drunk water and left the cup there in the middle of the coping he would have got into the room in perfect silence, and found her there asleep. ‘Well—now he had found her awake. ‘Thank God for the pistol. But she couldn’t shoot the man in cold blood, without a word. Yet if she waited much longer, her hand certainly would begin to shake. Could he see her now? Why didn’t he move? Of course, he was listening, peering. Should she fire, or speak? She would fire. Heavens, no! It might not be Raisul. And if it were Raisul—and she killed him—what would happen to them all, as soon as the Kaid knew? Things un- thinkable. The man stooped and stepped down into the balcony. “Well?” said Margaret quietly, and turned up the lamp. = evening, my dear. One would almost have thought that you were ex- pecting me.

I swear it by the ninety and nine sacred names of Allah. Love? What do these Christian dogs know of love?” And Raisul deliberately stepped into the middle of the mat, just as Margaret perforce lowered her aching arm. “Shoot, Margaret!” he said, and spread his arms wide, exposing his breast. Margaret raised the pistol. ‘Shoot, ret!” he tepeated, standing steady as a rock, smiling un- flinchingly. P ‘What should she do? He was edging nearer. Why didn’t she shoot him as he stood there smiling at her? But how could she kill him—when only too well she knew the terrible consequences. “Shoot, Mal t!” invited Raisul for the third time. “Let me die here at your feet. For how can man die bet- ter?” And Raisul took another step toward the bed. “Please don’t make me kill you, Rai- sul,” Margaret said. “Have you no de- cency at all? You shan’t dletznélgs praying-odrpet. But I swear you shall die if you step off it. If you | mqve another inch I shall be justified in in self-defense.” “You won't be kind?” “Go, will you?” «“All right, Margaret, all right, I'll go. And when I come back, it will be with my hands and on your head, Margaret.” “What do you mean?” whispered Mar- garet, and again, perforce, she lowered the pistol, that he might not see how she tdembled. ‘Ah! What do I mean? Do you know, I hardly like to tell you exactly what I mean. Anyhow it will be ‘some- thing with boiling oil in it But I tell you this—either I'll have his lips or yours. Do you get the point? Either I have your lips with mine, or I'll have his lips with a knife. That'll spoil his beauty, won't it, Margaret. That's what I tell you, Margaret, and I think you know wi I am a man who keeps sll s when they are Neither of them had yet mentioned & name. Margaret had shrunk back in horror. “Yes, I know.

That was another part of my errand of mercy—to tell you that Jules has met with a little accident.” “Jules? An accident?” “Yes, and to offer the appropriate condolences or congratulations. In fact, I might have shouted in the win- dow, ‘Is the Widow Maligni at home?” Suddenly Margaret sat down. “Yes, the poor Jules is no longer with us, and Otho Belleme will be with us no longer—if I now, aret.” | ‘Would this devil mutilate, torture and | | murder Otho? HAT was that? Y Margaret sprang up. No doubt of it, this time! A cry and then a crash. No, “Raisul,” she said. “Is there any oath that you would keep?” “Oh, yes, especially to you, Margaret. Will you swear that .there’s an oath I'd kes) “Then listen. oath to me? That if I do not give myself to you—you intend to torture and to kill Otho Belleme?” If Jules were dead, he could nct suffer punishment.

Bang!... “Y'Allah! pulled to the right. me, Margaret, “Blind for life,” groned Raisul. Raisul raised both arms, drew his silken scarf across his face—and then suddenly, sprang like a panther. Bang! Too late. What was the use? He was break- ing her wrist. But the noise might bring help. Bang! Bang! The pistol! He had it. She was flung violently upon the bed, and the pistol fell clattering in the most distant corner of the room. The knife, Fool that she had been. Why had she not kept the dagger in her left hand?
