CHAPTER VI
SYNOPSIS
On board the Orizaba, beautiful
Camilla Dean meets Ronald Bar-
ker, half American, interested in
affairs in Palestine. They pledge
eternal friendship and Ronald
tells Camilla that the man
known. as Joseph Asad -a fellow
voyager who is one of Camilla's
• admirers -is in reality- Hassan
Isar, son of one of the richest
shieks in Damascus, returning
from a visit to Washington where
he has •tried to end the British
mandae in Palestine. He has been
instrumental in the removal of
Osman Khali from the Mosque
of Omar in Jerusalem' and Barker
asks Camilla to find out from Has-
san -Joseph Asad -where Osman
Khali is hiding. Camilla culti-
vates Hassains affections Late
one afternoon Ronald Is attaise
ed by a Turkish member of the
crew named Ayub, but escapes
with slight cuts. Cam'lla and
Ronald dire in the capta.n's cab-
in. He tells her ..he will "disap-
pear" when they reach Alexan-
dria.
""Do you have to disappear?" Cam-
illa asked, "just now, when you and
I"
"I have to go. I have to' choice."
She made no direct answer, but
went on in a moment coity, "and I
suppose you want me to go on watch-
ing Asad?"
"No, not now after his proposal."
"I'm sure he has behaved very well
with me."
"I think you couldn't count on him
if you went off with him on a caravan
into the desert."
"Really. Ronnie, areyou trying to
make the idea attractive?"
"No. I abominate it. If. you care
for me you won't take the risk."
"And if you care for me you'll stick
mound and make the thing impos-
sible."
"Please be reasonable. 1 know I
have no right to ask anything r.f
sou."
"Not unless you give me the right
to asknyou to stay."
can't stay."
She. snubbed out her cigarette in a
receiver ana said quietly, "So this. is
good-bye."
He glanced at her once, quizzical-
ly, then toelf her in his arms. "You're
a cruel little devil," he said, "but de-
nistatingly sweet."
She kissed him ' as he wished.
"You're a clear," she said, 'and I'll
'never care fer "anybody else unless"
----and then. she put a sting in the tail
of her speech -"unless you, stay away
from the so long that' Asad runsoff
with me."
* * *
, It' seemed strange to Camilla 'for a
• 1
It was Asad's intention', apparently,
to make himself indispensable to
Camilla, and she accepted his atteu-
tions, trying to forget the conditions
his hospitality might impose.
They dined well on special dishes
of Asad's choosing and then the fol-
lowing morning Mustapha Ali, the
best dragoman in Oairo, took them
all out to seethe relics of Tutank-
hamen at the . museum and showed
them through the .banaars. Then, at
night out to the Pyramid's by moon-
light in a string of taxis. In the ve-
hicle Asad's heavy eyes watched Cam-
illa with an almost proprietary in-
terest and she permitted him to hold
ber band. He was more devoted to
her than ever and she lost none of
her confidence in her ability to keep
him under control.
"What were your relations with
Ronald Barker?" Josept»' Asad asked
Camilla as they left the procession
of loadecncamels and donkeys' in the
city proper and rolled along the av-
enue of palms and villas toward' their
destination. 'Had you met him or
heard of :him before he came aboard
the Orizaba?"
"Never. He was just a pleasant
shipboard acquaintance," she said
carelessly and then added, "a short
interlude in our friendship, yours and
mine, Joe."
• "He ,must have beeii very grateful
to you for helping to save his life."
"He said he was," and then she
thought it about time to end the cate-
chism. "Do you know anything about
that shooting, Joe?" she asked. "Who
did it and why?".
"I know nothing about it."
It was, of course, what she had ek-
sected him to say.
She was getting nowhere and she
knew it. She must choose, ,like Asad,
the oriental way of saying little and
listening much.
They climbed the hill to Cheops
and, after the usual expression of awe
and rapture; went clown the rocky
road •to the Sphinx, which would be
posing for them by the time they
reachedit, with the moon at just the
exact angle to show the monstrous
effigy at its worst and at its best.
Mustapha Ali, with the air of mys-
tery that made his job expen.sive, ad-
vised them all to keep together un-
der the protection of his men.; , for
frequently, he Said, inquisitive tour-
ists wandered off into the sand and
were seen no more."
"Hooey," Slim said, spitting in the
general direction of the Pyramid of
Cheops.
Nevertheless, the desert called to
Camilla, and she could -understand its
lure -"Allah's Garden," they called
it, where peace was as only peace on
earth could be found,•
The voices of her companions im-
pinged on ears that she had attuned
to silence and She wandered off, elud-
ing Asad, who was occupied with
Josie, finding her 'way beyond ' ,the
shadow of the nearest tombs and out
upon a mound of rocks where she

pilot in a tarboos'h and what seem-
ed like an old-fashioned frock coat
to clamber ap the side of a shirt'. It
also seemed strange to her that. Kit-
ty Trimble should be laying her an-
ti actions 60 suddenly before Mahmoud
Daoud, whose father had been a
nephew of the Khedive. Perhaps,
since Asad had deserted her, she
wanted to show Camilla that :there
were other fish in the sea.
Camilla and Slim stood watching
the rather soiled groups of porters 011
the dock below who waited to unload
the Orizaba.
Camilla and Slim said thW fare-
wells to Michael Gay, who was is re-
main aboard the ship and see his bus
safelY landed at Beirut, and made
their way down the gangplank to the
dock.
In the train the tour director plac-
ed Camilla and Josie in the compart-
ment with Asad, kitty Trinalik-Bila.h-
mond and Slim, McManus, a very live-
ly party where the hackling flirta-
none otAhe Orizaba had a chance to
flower in a different atmosphere. At
tea time Asad, Who was now in his
eleMent, altered' Turkish coftee al-
most as heavy as molasses and al-
kilOSt as Street.,
could face the desert and fill her un-
quiet spirit with solitule.
The figure of a native startled her
by appearing among the rocks beside
her. His. kaffiyeh was, pulled down:
over her eyes, meeting the scarf wrap-
ped. around his neck, from which em-
erged a familiar voice. "Haven't you
wandered too far, Camilla?'
She gave a quick glance around at,
her friends who had gone toward the
Sphinx. Apparently her absence had
net ben noticed. "Oh, Ronnie," she
said joyfully. "I thought I'd never
see you again."
He laughed as he took her in his
arms and she saw that his face was
stained and dirty and that only his
voice was tamiliain "The jinni in the
bottle," he said. "You wanted me
and' so I came."
"I did. Where do You come from?
Where have you been?"
"Camel driving. Don't I look it ?
But I had to see you before I went
to Jertmalem. I'm. flying tomorrow.
I've had some new today. Aril) has
cOnifetssed.
"Ts Asad implicated?"
He nodded eloarly. "I calm to tell
you that. This he behaved himself?"
"The soul of cliscretiori.."
Sounds of voices calling her name
from the path below. "You must go
now. I'll manage, to see you in Jer-
i
usalem."
Again' the sound of voices. "Good-
bye," Ronnie said, and disappeared.
"Coming," Camilla cried, waving
her hand and moving over the rocks
toward the Sphinx, Asad climbing the
rocks to meet her.
"Don't you realize that's a very
dangerous thing to do?" he grumbled.
"No," she said' • cheerfully. "I've
been communing with kismet."
* *
Ronnie had flown to. Jerusalem and
Asad had gone to the Kasr-ed-Doubara
to attend to "important business."
Josie and Janet had gone shopping
and Camilla intended to improve her
time on a mission that she had plan-
ned since yesterd.ay. A conversation
with Mustapha conducted in 'repor-
torial fashion by Camilla had given.
her an idea about Mahmoud, the
grandnephew of the Khedive who, in
his commercial pursuits, she found,
used many aliases in looking for
stock.
She found •Slim wandering in the
lobby', ordered a taxi and told the
driver to go'ne the antique shop of
Mahmoud Daoud just off the Mou-
ski. Slim did. not know where he was
going pr vshy. •
But -the Mouski was apparently just
around the corner and Mahmoud's an
unpretentious plabe. Canaille was
met at once by a suave young man in
perfectly, fitting morning coat, spats
and a Parisian manner. She asked
for Mahmoud but the young man who
proclaimed himself a cousin of the
proprietor reported that Mahmoud,
having just returned from Arnerioa,
was very busily engaged at the mom-
ent with a lady in his private office
at the rear of the shop and could not
be seen immediately.
So Camilla and Slim browsed
around to see if there was anything
she , wanted.
Slim was incorrigible, and at once
put two old. Persian armlets in his
pocket without the slightest idea of'
paying for them. Meanwhile others
entered the shop and Camilla suc-
ceeded in getting Sliin to give up his
plunder.
As they approached the rear 'of
the store and examined some old
Persian luster are, the voice of
Kitty Trimble came clearly from
an open door.
"In a Geographic Magazine on
the ship, Mahmoud. When I went
back to look for it, the magazine
had disappeared."
And then a low murmur of Mah-
moud'a voice, indistinguishable ass
Camilla moved away just in time to
see Slim 'put a small amber box into
his pocket. She was so absorbed in
wbat elle' had 'heard that she almost
neglected to rescue the, box; at last
deciding to put Slim on a teakwoid
bench and hold .his hand, which was
the only way to keep it from takiug
things.
"Camilla, there's the loveliest scar-
ab on this table right at my elbow,-"
"Sh, Slim. Do you know that kit-
ty Trimble is in there with Mah-
moud?" she Whispered.
"Do tell," Slim said. "More dirty
doings . . . What do you slip -
°4 tell?Yen. But I've found
out what I came here for. I've got to
buy something and go."
Camilla found Mahmoud's cousin,
and buying a small slave bracelet
went out of the shop, Slim slowly
trailing. "I didn't know you liked
slave bracelets," he said, when the
taxi was on its way to the hotel
"Here's one for your other arm, Cam-
illa," he added proudly.
"Slim! It has turquoises set in
it."
Yep, and small diamonds., It's
pretties' than' the one, you bought."
"Slim, we've got to go back to-
night and make some excliae."
"Wbat excuse have you got to
make? .1 snitched 'em, didn't I?"
He was hopeless. ,What could be
done with such, a man? She could
return them anonymously. of coursa
. . . and this she decided to do.
Camilla wondered about Asad's
important business at the Kass -ed.

She felt singularly helpless and must
have shown her anxiety fa Slim who
ordered two old-fashieneds when they
reached the hotel.
"Camille," he said, "you know I
love you, I can't, bear to see you
bothered. Is it because I snitched

"Oh!" He was willing to let the
matter rest there so she thanked him
and went usi to her room.
S'he had' hobed to have a message
from Ronald Barker before he left
and was forced to be content with a
brief laconic note: "king David Ho-

various ways of demoustratiug against
the Nazis spread from oue oppressed
country to the others. In which Own
the Uig capital "V" first appeared
painted night an walls and fences,:
it is impossible to determine; all re
know is that the practice has 15pread
all over Europe by the time the Ges:
tapo found out what it really meant.
It stands for "Victory," and in near-
ly every country. the letter "V" could
be given a meaning which makes it
a symbol of the people's hones of lib-
eration. In France and French-
speaking parts of Belgium, "V" stands
for "Victoire"; in the Netherlands it
is the initial letter of the Dutch word
for freedom; in occupied Czeohosio-
valcia, the first letter of "Viterstvi"
(victory); in Vienna it becomes the
tip of an' arrow ,pointed against the
Nazi regime or is read as the initial
letter of a challenge to quit "Ver-
schwindet").
Th* --symbolic initial first made its
appearance at street corners in
Prague early this spring and has since
spread through the whole "protector-
ate." In the smaller towns and vil-
lages the Nazis have taken measures
against it. They have detailed house-
hdlders as watch parties responsible
for- ensuring that neither the letter
"V" nor any other abusive inscrip-
tions shall be visible on walls or
fences when morning comes. Very
often their efforts prove unavaiiling.
Watchers are punished with prison or

ter "V" appears again andagain, as
