CHAPTER lir.
Meryon did not nt mice reply. Tie
took his cigarette fane frnm his pocket,
Pfleoted a cigarette and said to the
Nubian of the nargili-h: "I'.oy, a
lif-'ht." After obtaining it he in a
whiff or two with a thoughtful air and
then turned pravely to his host.
"Prince," he said, in a tone of Icy clls
tinc tiifss, "it Is fortunate for you that
I did nnt take your bravado in earnent.
If I thouxht," he continued, with a
stern and kn look, "that you nitual
ly meditated violence to me and there
by to the nil-powerful nation which I
represent if I believed that, within
three months your kingdom would have
been wiped from the map, arid you and
your subjects would be on your way to
New York to become waiters in the
public restaurants!"
There was a silence. T'.oth smoked.
Meryon with lent?, serene inhalations,
his highness with short, sharp puffs.
At last he said: "Your statement, Mery
on I'neha, seems Improbable. I have
Indeed heard that your nation Is great,
and I know that the ways of Allah are
"And It's Your Tnult.
unfathomable. Injustice dwells not In
my heart. You will admit that you
have been hospitably entertained"
Jleryon BtlfHy Inclined his head, at the
same time slightly lifting one eyebrow
and shrugging the opposite shoulder
"but It hus eome to my ears that you
have ventured to look upon and even
to address communications to thu
princess, my daughter, apparently pre
suming her capable of deigning"
Once more Meryon Interrupted.
"Prince, you employ words which I
won't take from you. 'Deigning!' Does
the tom-tlt condescend to the eagle? It
was my whim to lay aside the cares of
sovereignty (which I must resume on
my return home) and masquerude In
this out-of-the-way little corner, for a
while, as a mere traveling artist. Hut
In birth, station and power you're sim
ply not In sight, beside me, not to men
tion your Interesting fumlly." '
The prince, by a nervous Jerk of the
.elbow, upset the. narglleh, which the
Nubian deftly caught nnd replaced.
"I've been studying your little princi
pality," resumed the other, "with a
friendly disposition to do something to
Improve It. I heard you had a daugh
ter, and It struck me Bhe might be the
means of my helping you. I'm unmar
ried, and though I could get a wife
worth a dozen of her in New York or
Chicago, to say nothing of Boston, yet
I believe in occasionally crossing the
I higher strains with humbler blood, and
I 1 have had thoughts of honoring you
and exalting her by a union with my
self." A dozen things rushing at the same
Instant to get uttered at his highness'
single mouth, naturally got wedged,
like people trying to escape from a
burning theater, and the prince became
crimson, but said nothing at all. Jlcr
yon went on:
"lint a serious objection has arisen,
for which you are primarily to blame,
and which you must remove If I am to
go on with the scheme. Tcrah though
I'm confident she is a good little girl
and personally incapable of evil is,
nevertheless, conventionally speaking,
damaged goods. And It's your fault."
The novelty of his sensations was
hypnotizing the prince. Ills eyes rolled
outward, and his breathing was sten
toi lous. lint he no longer attempted to
address the meeting.
'Qui facit per alliim, faclt per se,"
the American continued; "you are to
blame for the crimes of your head
eunuch, for you ought to have known
better than to Instruct such a clumsy
beast with such delicate responsibili
ties. Kit her from brute carelessness or
worse, IIiIh fellow, llatlpha, the other
day, suddenly sprung Ternh on me with
her countenance in a condition which I
shudder to describe. It she I In
short, her veil was down!" Here Mer
yon bowed his head upon his knees, and
tremors shook his frame.
Inarticulate gurglings came from the
prince's lips. Drops of sweat formed
beneath the rim of his turban nnd ran
down Into his beard. This was u great
day for him, never to be forgotten!
"Anyone, less magnanimous and ehnr
llable than I would have turned his
back upon her and you forever," the
artist went on presently. "Such an
outrage, upon an unsuspecting guest
can hardly be too severely resented.
Hut compassion for Terah who wus
really as much shocked as I was and
friendship for you, led me to forbear.
I caused word to be sent to her that, on
certain conditions, I would try to over
look the matter. And I nm now here,
prince, to tell you what the conditions
are."
His highness, with eyes goggling
on vacancy, stretched out his arms in
front of him and rapidly closed and ex
tended his fingers. It Is uncertain
whether this Indicated that ho wished
to catch hold of an elusive word, or of
something more substantial. Klther
way It was expressive.
"What I require," said Meryon, with
stern impresslveness, "Is your straight
out apology; and to prove it's sincerity.
It must 'take tho form of delivering up
llntlpha Into my hands, to he annihi
lated as I see fit.: Having thus deliv
ered himself, Meryon took another ci
garette from his case, signed to the Nu
bian for a light, and added composed
ly: "I have Bpoken!"
The spell upon his hlgness was
broken. A confused roar proceeded
from him, which perhaps set out to be
a sort of laugh, but went on like tho
cry of the tiger thirsting for meat. lie
clapped his hands against his thighs,
kicked off both his slippers (which the
Nubian of the fan impassively restored
to him, receiving In acknowledgment
a violent kick in the stomach!, and be
trayed other symptoms of strong feel
ing. Gradually the waves of emotion
became less agitated, und allowed him
to employ human methods of speech.
"Meryon Pacha," he wild, "I have
been indignant. I heard reports of you
which made me wisli to kill you. You
have spoken, and made things look dlf-
v.
"Oh, Well. I Hou't Cure if I l."
ferent. I nm more Indignant than be
fore, and somebody must be killed, but
I am willing it should not be you. You
have spoken or llatipha; It shall be!
I will discipline him. I will draw oft
his hide In strips an Inch wide. I will
born out bis eyes with hot needles. I
will tear out hlH tongue, nnd cut oft his
hands and feet. I will nil) his carcass
with red pepper and sirup, Impale him
upon a stake ten feet long, and Set hint
In the public siuare for the llles to cat.
Yea, by the beard of the prophet, ho
shall be taught etiquette!"
Meryon mused nnd shook his head.
"The punishment Is loo light," he final
ly said. "Ordinarily, I might be satis
lied wllh it, for I nm more forgiving
anil tender-hearted than a woman. ,l:ut
this dog's offense demands some renlly
adequate penalty. I think I must have
him boxed up and sent to New York to
be naturalized and run for mnyor on
his record. It Is necessary, too, thnt
my honor Is vindicated. I will think It
liver. In the meantime let him be
shadowed."
"Is the penalty you made a Very ter
rible one?'' nsked the prince.
Meryon smiled wearily, "Merely to
read the account of It In the newspa
pers Is punishment enough for most
crimes," he replied. "I hate to Inflict It;
but mercv Is one tlilnir. wen It 1ml
Llo sin, such as your proposition would
amount 10, is anoiner. Atltl rroin tho
reputation of the woman I marry every
shadow of a stain must be removed."
"As to thut," said the prince, whose
natural suavity was returning, "though
I suppose what you say of yourself
and your nation Is true, still I could
easily very easily have your head
cut off, and Bay to your people (when
they came to ask) that you had been
killed by somebody else. Hilt I, too,
am tender-hearted, and what you say
about the princess Is certainly true,
for llatipha himself told me so ami
other things! Ho I should like to havo
you for a son-in-law, especially If It
would benefit my kingdom, But how
would It benefit It ?"
Well, looking at It strictly as a
financial meusure, I should say It would
benefit you about a lao of rupees'
worth a year, very likely more what
with the Summer visitors, the boom In
trade nnd the new openings for un
married ladles." After a pause he
added: "Uut, mind you, I haven't yet
promised I'll take her. My system got
a bail shock that day, and I may never
get over it."
The prince was silent for a long time,
doing more thinking than was per
haps good either for him or Meryon.
At last he said:
"Allah Is great. Man. knows little,
and sometimes lies. Your words, Mer
yon Pacha, may be truth or not. You
wish to live; you also wish, I think,
to marry my daughter; but whether
you desire the good of my kingdom Is
us yet hidden from me. Hut there is
a way. if you choose, to prove it."
"Yes."' returned Meryon, 'In an In
different tone.
"Yes. This morning I have news
that the prince, my nearest neighbor,
is going to make war on me. 1 am un
prepared nnd need help. Beyond the
country of my enemy lies another king
dom, whose king Is my ally. If a mes
senger from me could reach him in
three days from now I should be safe.
Hut If I send one of my own subjects
he would be stopped and slain, for his
speech and features would betray him.
But you, Meryon Pucha. could go In
safety, for there is no war with your
country, nnd since you are a sovereign,
as you say, and able to destroy all who
Injure you, you have nothing to four.
I will give you a message to my ally
which will tell him that you nro my
friend and are to be my son-ln-luw. and
that my kingdom Is in danger. Now,
Meryon Pacha, will you do this thing
to win the princess and save the king
dom'."' The American reflect oil a moment.
The prince was Ingeniously beating
111 m with his own stick, so to Bay. The
threat of war was probably a fact; but
the secret embassy was devised as a
means of getting rid of him without
seeming to do so. On the other hand
ho could not, nfter his late magnilo
quence, decline to do his future father-in-law
so ostensibly facile a service.
There wan but one weak point In his
highness' argument. He put his linger
on that.
"The letter which I nm to take to
your ally will make mo known nlso to
your enemy, If he searches me. He
would trout mo as a spy and 1 should
have no ground of complaint."
The prince smiled an oriental smile.
"You are prudent nnd far-seeing, Mer
yon Piichii," said he. "Hut It I protect
you from this peril, will you accept the
adventure V"
"Oh, well, I don't rare If I do," re-
Vlled the other, twisting his rod mus-
taehlos. He already had a glimpse of
an expedient for making the affair
serve his own purposes.
"It Is well," said his highness, "no
turn to me at sunset today and I will
give you the final directions."
"All light," returned Meryon, brief
ly, and the Interview ended.
To Be Continued.
