TTJERPEIt liarl flred all but ft slncle
cartrldfrc, when, during .1 lull In
1 tho flghtlns, ho called aloud to Ills
,-1.opponent.
I "Aclimct Zek," lie cried, "Allan alone
knows which one of uh may leavo Ills
bones to rot where ho lies upon this
trail today If tvo keep up our foolish
battle. Tou wish the contents of the
pouch I wear about my waist, and I
wish my life and my liberty even more
than I Ao tho Jewels. Let us each,
then, take that which lie most desires
find ko our separate ways In peace. I
will lay the pouch upon tho carcass of
my horso, where you may tec It, and
you, In turn, will lay your Kun upon
your horse, with butt toward me. Then
I will pro away, leaving tho pouch to
you, and you will let mo ko In safety.
I want only my llfo and my freedom."
The Arab thought In silence for n
moment. Then ho spoke. Ills reply
aj Influenced by the f.ict that ho had
expended his last shot.
' "Go your way, then," ho srotvlcd,
'leaving the pouch In plain sight be
hind you. See, 1 lay my gun thus,
with the butt toward you. Go!"
Werper removed tho pouch from
about his waist. Sorrowfully and nf
fectlonately he let his fingers press
the hard outlines of tho contents. Ah,
If he could but extract a llttlo handful
of tho precious stones! But Aehmet
Zek vva standing now, his eagle ryes
-ommandlng a plain view of tho Bel-
an and his every act.
Regretfully Werper laid tho pouch,
s contents undisturbed, upon tho
ody of the horse, rose, and backed
'lowly flown the trail until a turn
d him from the view of tho watch-
oil Arab.
rcJcn then Achniet Zek did not act
,e. fearful as he was of some Fuch
eery as he himself might have
guilty of under llko clrcum

himself to the blackened honor

withdrew a few paces further Into the
