She was wasting away and no one seemed to know just what or where or whence her ailment was Perhaps undoubted ly Jebb Effendi would know at a glance Jebb was so relieved at the na ture of the visit that he con sented to go at once Nahir Hanim was plainly suffer ing a mortal illness eyes told him that He found her temperature high and her breathing fast and weak her general condition alarming It was important that be should know everything and have his wits about him The struggle to torture his own thoughts into rench then to translate back into English what the sick woman whispered was too baffling and irritating to be endured He gave up and went back to the hall where the Pasha waited anx iously His rench was almost too lame to express its own lameness but he managed to make clear his need of an interpreter The Pasha exclaimed: only my other wife were here She understands other Jebb echoed said the Pasha apologeti cally is my misfortune to have two wives Moosoo Jebb I will send for the other at once Perhaps she can repay me now in part for the enormous expense she has put me He clapped his hands A servant appeared whom he dispatched for his coachman When this man ar rived he was dispatched post haste to request Minima Hanim to come at once possession of two wives said the not my wish but my misfortune ew Turks except the rich and dissolute have endeavored to keep more than one wife The law permits us four but the law does hot furnish us with funds and the prophet did not ad vise it And it were easier to keep four tigresses in a cage Moosoo Jebb than four wives in a house or Turkish women are' tyrannical moosoo and very exactin t' A Under the spell of the drug the boy permitted Jebb to make a care ful examination and confirm the the ory suggested by the other symp toms He turned to Murison: them the relief is only tem porary The boy is very sick and the pam will come back on him with renewed violence The cyst will burst and flood his body with poison and he will die unless unless the danger is removed at once and for all time" an "That is the one hope It would be murder to neglect it I should be a criminal unless I urged With much circumlocution Muri son broached the subject to the par ents and they were affrighted at the thought Jebb explained it to Hell wald and he joined forces with Mur ison Akef Bey was converted at last and gave his consent Akef Bey put all the servants of his household at command and Hellwald forgot the affairs of Aus tria to act as interpreter while Mur ison hastened to fetch the instru ments Hellwald could not forget the lost child whose name he could not pro nounce and he brought up the sub ject of the fee that Jebb should de mand The upshot of it was that Hell wald settled upon one hundred pounds Turkish as the fee for the operation whether successful or not He accepted Akef word of honor as equivalent to a deposit in gold By this time he was ready with the ether and smiling courage into the brave eyes of the little stoic he hid them under the hood and watched the deep breathing of the obedient youth till the drugged soul had ceased to murmur Then he lifted the body limp with mimic death and carried it across the hall to the room prepared for the operation Hellwald sat outside on the divan trying to divert Akef Bey with conversation As Muri son went in with Jebb he looked back with doleful eyes at the shiver ing father Then he let the curtain at the door fall It seemed many hours but it was hardly the half of one when Murison lifted the curtain again for Jebb who reappeared carrying in his arm the burden still peacefully unaware of its new wounds and bandages The face wore a look of quiet triumph and Murison as he lifted the curtain at the door of the room turned back to murmur: which is to say Tfce father the mother and the sister crowdrii at once to the' room to find their idol still alive breath ing raucously and beginning to jnot aciran nataan nGJHRag arincwri ton cu enra nman aejEi Tinaa iwbbi rdnnrj Cino rinr?
