CHAPTER I.
Merynri awoke with the Issue i.f an
lntr-'ftinif dream in ilmiM. TVrah had
admitted that, he luv.'d him; the prince
liad aeemea tlisii'isrl tn har p-;i'.on;
bi.t Just then tn- .uriile and ifld l'.r
nl'lio hemn whi"h ff.rnn-d tlie n-ntral
device of hU hiKhnf ;Js' state banner d-ta-hed
It.nelf from the surrounding em
broidery and flew virioiisly at M ryon's
h ad. He heard Tenth's voire raised
In warnintr, and paw two black moun
tains at the verge of a desolate plain.
Fiir.ciered from earn other by a ruRsed j
rlei'ile. The sun was getting beldiid th.-1
mountains and he awoke.
lie yawned and Klaneed at th" lon.T j
silver chain by whlrh a lamp of piereed
brass depended from the f ; i 1 1 n i. A
ray rf sunlight from the eai t window
rested on It by wliieh token he knew
It was about nine o'rlnrk.
The room In v. hb h he lay war beau
tiful and as the berlehsmber of a mod
ern younit American singular.
Iofty and of nr"d size. It was rather
narrow for Its length. I'rdishi-d mar
ble of tender hues paved the floor, the
central part of which was depressed
several Inches below the ends, and In a
basin In the depression leaped and fell
the slender -Jet of a fountain. A hlh
dado Klowed with oriental tiles colored
like fading sunsets.and the walls above
were huriR with tapestries stained as
with crushed roses and violets. Higher
still was a wide border of dark brown
wood exquisitely carved, n ml above this
tin- four windows, a foot high by four
times that width. Silks of mellow tone
draped the celling.
Alone three sides of the south end of
the chamber extended a broad divan,
part of which served Meryon as a bed.
Here and there about this dim, lovely
room stood vases of wrought bronst
and fine porcelain. Within reach of
his arm was a triple Ron on a carved
wood stand, with a hammer hanKlng
by a silken cord. Meryon struck thrice
Upon this Kraceful Instrument, and
threu soft notes of an octavo's Interval
tlnKled on the air. As they subsided the
jlortlere was pushed ripen, and a Krace
ful flBure: entered, bearing a tray with
coffee, cakes and cigarettes.
Had the figure been fully draped, you
Would have taken It for that of a girl,
so refined and beautiful were the
aquiline fentures and the shaggy cloud
of Boot-blnck, fine-spun hair, which fidl
on the shoulders. Hut the Btipple body,
nnked from the waist up, was that of a
boy of twelve or fourteen, tawny as
fine brotr.e. dirt round his loins was a
skirt of dark blue gossamer stuff, with
silver lines running through' It and a
silver fringe, and about his neck a
double necklace of delicate silver links
hung half way down his breast. Black
aB night were the great eyes which met
Meryon's blue ones, and radiant- the
smile of greeting which rovealed his
flashing teeth. , -
The ensuing dialogue, though carried
on In an oriental tongue, shall for the
sake of uniformity be here given In the
' English equivalent.
"The top of the morning to you,
Ebal, my beauty!" Bald the American.
"You're a .iht for sore eyes! Did any
one ever tell you that you look sur
prisingly like the divine 1'rincesn
TViah iod bless her! Maybe only an
artist who has painted your portrait
as often as I have could see it in your
present rltr: but put on one of her
dresses and anyone would know It.
Tlie funny thin Is that neither she
nor you resemble the prince; but
Terah's mother. If she were asked
however, there's no fathoming
the mysteries of oriental diplomacy."
"Honored lord!" murmured the boy,
In a tone or half frightened remon
strance, but smlllnx still. He knelt
and placed the tray upon the divan be
side his master. Then taking a cigar
ette from the enameled box on the tray
lie put It daintily between his lips and

lit It at the silver spirit lamp. Having
inhaled a single whiff of fragrant
smoke, h handed It to Meryon with a
charming obeisance and he accepted It
with the complacency of one who
knows his east and likes It.
"I don't know whether this Is most
like Aladdin's palace or a glorllicd
Turkish bad" said he to himself; and
then to Kbal: "What news have you
brought me, you ruscal? Whut of the
rose who makes cabbages of all other
roses tho star thut makes a brass
kettle of the sun? Have you brought
me nothing from her?"
Now, Kbal thought Meryon a won
derful and worshipful being, hut as a
born oriental ho was frightened by the
audacity of tils passion for the young
princess. From a fold of his girdle he
took a small rosebud, such sS grew on
the gardens of Huadl or of Omar, and
presented It to the other as. If It were a
fragile-explosive. "
'"I know nothing myself, mighty lord
but Senuali said I was to give this to
you and to Buy that the Hon must be
ware of the pitfall which the hunter
digs In his path. That means Hatlpha,
the head eunuch how I hate the old
beast?" he added, lowering his voice to
a whisper. j
Meryon laughed. "That's all
rht, I
my lad," he paid, taking the bud and
klsslntf it. "Hon't you be scared. I'm
looking out for you; and I'm wiser than
a thousand such old mules ns Hatlpha.
I talk openly to you because I love you.
anil Senuah Is our confidante because
she's your sister and the princess' fa
vorite maid and there's no one to take
her place, liut I can hold my tongue
when 1 see lit. And when the time
comes" here he bestowed upon the
youth a wink of great significance.
"I'll take you ulong with us to America
and make your fortune. Well, now, be
off, my beauty, and leave me to drink
my coffee and meditate!"
"I!ut I may help my lord to dress
later?" aski-d Kbal, reluctantly retiring
from the fascinating presence.
"When I'm ready I'll hit the gong.
There Allah II Allah JSIsmillah!
Clear out !"
As Kbal vanished with a smile und a
sigh, Meryon fell upon the bud with
amorous rapture. It fared badly, as
buds are apt to do. In the cause of love.
After smelling and kissing it till It
looked as If ruined by premature dis
sipation, the lover ended by devouring
It, petals, callx und all, as If by Incor
porating it with his b idily substance to
mystically bind to his own the Buiil of
his beloved. Then he drank his coffee
and took counsel wltll himself.
He was an American artist In search
of the beautiful, whose devotion to his
art was proved by his possessing a
fortune that made hlin more than In
dependent of the world. He had
brought good letters of Introduction to
the prince of this little kingdom, and
had confirmed his welcome by painting
a capital full-length portrait of his host.
Ureat favor was his; a suite of rooms in
the palace, and servants for his exclu
sive behoof. The jirlnee was not only
at all times accessible to him without
ceremony, but could not get enough of
his society. During his two months'
sojourn he had made a lot of valuable
studies, In many of which Kbal. In all
poses und costumes, or with no costume
save his own boyish beauty, was the
(.enter of Interest. This was all very
well.
Hut alus for Insatiable human nature
and malicious fate! One day (owing to
a concateiitatlon of accidents which
cannot here be detailed) he met face to
face and unpremeditatedly the only
daughter of the prince, Tcrah the beau
tiful. It was ull up with him In u mo
ment; und her oriental fancy seems to
have been no less captivated by the
frerb complexion, handsome features
and red hair of I be occidental struuger.
They loved each other tit the first In
tention, as surgeon!) say. Just as young
peoolo used to do in the golden prime
of the good Haroiin Alruschld. Ah!
Kuiiuince lingers In this old world yet,
as we shall see! ' '
Meryon hud the tact to cover his face
with his hands, and the presence of
mind to look through' his lingers. Tho
princess replaced her veil not so hastily
as to prevent a quick, artist glance
from catching a rapturous Impression
of her dusky grace and glorious eyes.
Fat old Hullpha, with pendent checks
flapping, bustled up In vast perturba
tion and whipped the princess out of
the Infidel's sight as fust as he could.
Hut Heiiuah, following, threw over her
shoulder an arch glance which In
America would have passed- for a wink
of sympathetic Intelligence. Mischief
was afoot.
Then followed Intrigue. One after
noon the back part of the booth of
Musreddln, tho Jewel-mcrchunt, con
tained a new apprentice, with huge
turban and voluminous drapery, whose
blue eyes wandered from his work as
Terah entered, and never left her face
during the half hour she chaffered with
the Jeweler over the price of a ring
which, on the other hand, she would
never have looked at twice, had she not
been stealing a thousand glances at the
back part of the shop! Again, from a
meshreblc-screened window (chartered
lie .Met I'ace to I nee the Only Daughter
of the I'rincc.
for the purpose), who glowed Invisi
ble and Impassioned while Terah, her
divine eoiintennce not ten Inches from
his, debuted Interminably wltll Scliunh
as to whether they should turn to the
right ami visit lln nfeetloncr, or to
the left to tile silk mercer's: while Hatl
pha, the unsuspicious, stood In the
shadow hard-by. with mind nt case
because, forsooth, the street was
empty. Kmpty! and all tho while
Terah's soft linger tips were being
kissed ravenously through the lattice
work, and, when tit last the debate
with Senuali came to an end, folded
themselves about a love-note designed
In the most gloriously extravagant
terms! No name was signed to thut
note, but perhaps the princess didn't
thenceforth wear It In her bosom tmtil
paradoxical as It may seem It got
worn out. and means had to bo devised
to furnish her with another!
Yes, hero in the heart of the guarded
orient, and under the shadow as It were
of the bow-string, wns this love affair
carried on, until this very morning of
the rosebud. How wus It to end? Ah,
how indeed!
"No doubt." Meryon said to himself,
"eloping with an oriental princess un
der Hie noses of her father iud the
head eunich Isn't the easiest tiling in
tlie world I never said It wus! Hut u
bonanza like that Is worth a risk. Tlie
boldest wuy Is the best; bribe Musred
dln again; wait with the horses at the
buck door in the alley; she comes In to
buy a new ring; frightful row In the
street at the front between two camel
drivers; Hatlpha mounts guard at tlie
front door; Tcrah slips into a rear room
and a suit of hoy's clothes and so out
ut the liack, mounts, and we're off!
Give us ten minutes' Blurt, and 'they'll
have fleet BteedH that follow, quoth
young l,oehlnvar! Thut's1 the pro
gramme. Sorry to play Buch a game
on the poor old prince, but that Is the
fault of the oriental system and oh,
my soul! whut an armful of heaven she
Is." ,
llo caught up a pillow und vh arlouB
ly pressed Terah to his heart, ilke
other lovers he was sometlmeB con
strained to wreak himself tin his Imag
ination. . '
"I quite pity Hatlpha, too," he said,
when he came to' himself, "but In (the
bright lexicon of my youth there's no
such a word as gejting bested by any
tumble-down, earringed,' dew-lapped,
pot-bellied old nondescript like that I
guess not! I'll go down and interview
Musreddln as quick as I can get my
clothes on."
He reached for the gong, but ere ho
could strike it the curtains parted and
in sprang Kbal. evidently in a fright.
