CHAPTER XIII
SYNOPSIS
Camilla Dean tours the East
and becomes greatly interested
in Ronald Barker -El Kerak-
mysterious leader of tribes in Pal
estine. In order to Obtain inform-
ation helpful to Barker, she ac-
cepts the attentions of Hassan Is-
ar but refuses his proposal of mar-
riage. Motoring acioss the Syrian
desert Camilla is carried off by
followers of Hassan and taken to
a Bedouin encampment. Ronald's
tribesmen attack, and Hassan is
killed.
Camilla rode in silence beside Ron-
nie for a way. As he had said, there
was no time for sentiment -only a
brief touch of fingers, a glance of ey-
es as they rode towards the moon.
"You know the Saied Ahmal " she
asked, as -they gave their weary hor-
ses a walk, -
"I've seen -him -as I said, another
descendant of the Prophet. I wonder
why I never thought of him before.
I've got to (pay him a visit."
"We," she corrected: "I'm going
with you, Ronnie."
He smiled with a fondness she had
begun to understand. "You're simply
incorrigible."
"But how are

there "
"A plane, my dear, the one flew
from Jerusalem. This is a land of
great distances'. Barring mishaps we
should be in Bagdad this afternoon."
"Wonderful man! The magic carpet
of Ronnie al -Rashid."
From time to time, as they reach-
ed an elevation, he turned,in his sad-
dle to look backward. But there were
no signs of immediate pursuit. Evid-
ently the death of Hassan
put a temporary damper
warlike operations_
"But if they are so
your men afraid?"
"The Anazeh don't often cross the
line of ,the Jebel Hauran. We have al-
ready taught them several lessons."
Rosy signals had already been seat
up from the horizon before Jebel Hau-
ran showed its „exact proportions -a
great hill aspiring to be a'morintain
rising out of a grove of palm treed.
Men came reconnoitering. El Kerak's
men, she found in half an hour they
were in an encampment very like
Hassan'e but much larger and set in
a cleft of the mountain Which had
grown bigger as they approadhed it
and commanded a view in all direct-
ions. Here, she realized at once, were
the headquarters of El Kerak, Ronald
Barker's home 'in the desert, for there
seemed to be an air of permanence

One event followed another so
quickly that the remainder of her pil-
grimage to Bagdad, beginning with
the exaltation of her swift flight In
Ronnie's plane was more ' like fancy
than reality. And as she tried to rem-
ember what had happened, she saw
a serines of pictures, recalled a series
of \conversations, like the shifting col-
ors of a kaleidoscope. The Syrian des-
ert, unrolling like a tapestry beneath
them, thrilling her with an alarming
sense of the spaciousness of the earth,
an infinite variety of patches of green
that were oases; other patches, like
inkspots, that were the tents of the
Bedouins; crawling worms of carav-
ans that twisted and turned among
the hillocks.
It seemed only a moment before the
four tall minarets and the dome of
the Kazemain came into sight again-
st the distant background of the city,
a shorter while again, before the nose
of the plane tilted down and the earth
seemed to come up to meet them with
alarming rapidity.
"There's Kufak near -by, Camilla,
and here is where we land."
He did it skillfully in a flat place
alongside the river which seemed ' o
be a landing field. A few thank-you-
ma'ams rather joyous than danger-
ous, and the plane taxied to a stop.
Then, after one deep breath, as if in
relief, it was silent.
The pictures became very definite
now -mud houses and a plane or two
under a roof of thatch, Yusef getting
out with Ronnie and talking to a man
who seemed to he in charge of the
place.
:She remembered that Ronnie- Sold
something that made the keeper of
the airport begin' salaming at once
and then, when Ronnie gave him mon-
ey, led him around the huts to a dil-
apidated car of an early vintage in
which Ronnie presently drove them
along a good road toward a grove of
orange trees which surrounded a
house on a hill. There was• a pretty
little garden at the side where a man
in White was sitting in a camp chair
under the trees. When (Ronnie came up
the path with . Camilla, mentioning
the name of Gertude Bell, the man in
the camp chair seemed to uncoil him-
self and attain a great height, mak-
ing salutations like a dancing cobra.
He was Well over six feet and his face
was 'black with age, his beard scar-
let with the stains of henna, while
on his head a great green turban
framed his headmajestically like a
crown. With the name, of Gertude
Bell still upon his lips, he gave Cam-
illa a toothless smile and led the way
into a room 'where another man sat
reading and smoking a narghile.
He was a little man with a round
pot -belly, a scragglc gray beard, and
in the setup of the tents. watery eyes set in pouohes of 'pur-
He made her lie in a hammock out- plish .flesh, partially concealed. by
'spectacles which rested lightly on his
little pointed hooked nose. He relin-
quished ;his water pipe with evident
,regret and- rose, salaaming to Camilla
while Ahmal made the •introductions.
This insignificant person, she found
was Osman Khali, the man whom all

as his hands were tied behind him.
They needed his legs for purposes of
locomotion.
"We are very sorry, Affandi," Ron-
nie said quickly, "that it was neces-
sary for us to make this visit, but the
presence of Osman Khali is most
earnestly demanded in Jerusalem. If
he gives us no trouble he will be
treated with 'utmost respect and con-
sideration. As for yourself, saied Ah -
mal, you will doubtless be released
before Awe have been gone more than
a few moments.",
He thought it too ironical to wish
that Allah be with them and so he
merely bowed and walked out of the
room with Camilla, peering before
them for sign of enemies, while Yusef
came leading the descendant of the
Prophet to the ear.•No one was in
sight at the moment and Osman was
so terrified at the sight of Yusef's
gun poking at his ribs that he sat
quite peacefully while Ronnie drove
away.
"I'm not much used to -to hijack-
ing." Camilla gasped feebly. "What
will 'happen when we get to the land-
ing field "
"That," Ronnie said, "is in the lap
of the gods:"
"But suppose, *she insisted, `;that
the man there tries to prevent our
flying away?"
"That might create a difficult sit-
uation,"' . he replied calmly. "But
there's always a way out."
As they sped • back toward the land-
ing field they were aware of a com-
otion from- the garden where Ahmal
who had succeeded in releasing him-
self, was yelling and waving his arms
so that his robes flapped in the air
like the wings of a gigantic bird. The
noise that he made was extraordln-
ary and they saw people come running
out of the fields from all directions.
Ronnie drove out of the flying field
near li'Is plane • and helped Osman and
Camilla up into the cabin. By this
time the cries of Ahmal and his
friends had reached. the flying port
and its keeper came running •out to
see what the noise was all about. As
the plane began to move, a suspicion
of what was happening seemed to
come to him, for he rushed\eut and
took hold of the wing of the plane
Bait when Yusef fired a shot past his
head, he relinquished his hold, stum-
bled, and fell in the sand. The plane'
gathered momentum and before Ah -
mal could reach them they were al-
ready off the ground and clearing the
huts and palm trees. Shots were fired
but Ronnie only laughed while he
gave his plane the "gun", soared over
the minarets of Kazemain, and squar-
ed away for the West.
He was afraid to stop at.Hit for he
knew the wireless would soon be
busy and Moslem planes searching,
the sky. So after a satisfactory glance
at his gauges, he rfaade directly west
for Jebel Hauran. According to Ron-
nie, the party was not to be a com-
plete success until the descendant 'of
the Prophet could be Securely placed
behind bars in a British prison where
no one would know his identity.
And so Camilla's pilgrimage suc-
cessfully ended. They stopped at the
camp of Jebel Hauran for a short rest
and sleep and then they took off again
for the distant mourtains to the West
where. in "a few hours she would be,in
touoh with Josie and her friends in
America.
"Is it to be Jerusalem?" she asked.
He nodded. "Jerusalem and then
perhaps the fortress at Acre. My, job's
done. The camp at Jebel Hauran is to
be broken up before the Anazeh can
sweep down upon it. Elek Kerak, .the
sheik and robber baron, passes out of
the picture and becomes again the
name of a village. Syria will see me
no more. I'll fold my tents like the
Arabs and silently steal away."
"The death of Hassan Isar will
make a commotion?"
"Naturally. I won't_ be coming east
of the Lebanons for a while unless I
find another identity. I'm afraid my
usefulness for England in the East
is gone."
"I suppose you'll think I'm selfish
when I say I'm glad."
His glans,,,&e questioned. "Just that
there are dither purposes, other util-
,i'ties for a man of your talents, I might
say another identity-"
„What?„
"Why not your own? Hasn't it oc-
curred to you that you've taken en -
ought risks for England -that you've

"It would be safer for a •while," he

Ronnie bad decided to take Yussef
with them and he entered the cockpit
full of joy at the venture. '
Camilla realized as they climbed

Ronnie than with Hassan, and that
here at last was Ronnie as she had al

was with him or not, sure, determined,
cool, commanding, no longer the fan-

Shoe men say women are getting

Manager's of shoe shops • say they

10 and 11"nand_ that 30 to 60 per cent

of the managers say, they even sell

Most managers think this increase
in size- is a result of women's .20th

then to, rebel against pinched and
hurting feet, and to demand shoe
comfort and proper fit.
