The Egyptian was expending her full Itrength. but her companion. with longer and fewer strokes, was appar. ently reserving hers. They neared the stake. The Egyptian, having the in side, began to round it, but the AL banian kept on, now with rapid and strong strokes. The spectators were amazed at her tactics. The two competitors darted to the tide of Mahomet’s barge. From a long stat, just high enough above the wa- ter to be reached by the hand. hung a tiny streamer of silk, the broad field of which was dotted with pearls. This was to be the possession of the fair rower who. rounding the stake boat first, could return and seize it. The padishah’s bugle sounded the all. It rang over the waters, evok- ing echoes from the triple shore of Stamboul, Galata and Scutari. which died away in the distant billows of Marmara. As it was to be the last evening before the pageant of the grand reception, the time was occupied in making final arrangements for the or- der in which the boats should move, so that it was growing dark when the padishah reminded the chief marshal that they must have the race for the admiral‘s badge. Katub. a fat and indolent eunuch, was ordered to moor his caique for the stake boat as far out toward the swift current as safety Would permit. The boats. or caiques, were of thinnest Wood that could be held together by the weblike cross bracing and seemed scarcely to break the surface of the water when the odalisks stepped into them. Morsinia had brought a cloak of a common sort. saying to the eunuch, whose attention it attracted. thatyes- terday she was quite chilled after row- ing and today had taken this with her by way of precaution. She might have found something more beautiful had she thought in time, but it would be dark when they returned. Besides, it would be a capital brace for her feet, the crossbar arranged for that purpose being rather too far away from the neat. So saying she tossed it into the bottom of the caique before the offlcious eunuch could provide a better substi- The contrast between Morsinia and the Egyptian as they presented them- selves for the contest afl’orded a capital study in racial physique.

Old Kala had a busy day before her, with a dozen other commissions to dis- charge. But fortune favored her in the early discovery of the well known shape of the captain in ordinary citi- zen’s dress. She thrust the little roll into his hand and said: That night Morsinia wrote a note containing these words: About dusk just below Seven Towers watch for boat.

She then wrapped the note carefully within race for the honor of being high ad- miral of the harem fleet and one even- ing announced that the competitive trial should take place the next after- noon. The course was fixed for a half mile just inside of the semglio point. where the waters of the harbor are still, unvexed by the rapid current which pours along the channel of the Bosporus. The flag boat was to be an- chored almost at the meeting of the inner and outer waters. A young Egyptian woman was her only competitor (or the honor of lead- ing the fleet on the day of the regatta.

They were several Dartinx into the copse, in a moment the man was gliding in a caique with a noiseless stro‘ke out in the direction of the oar splash of the approaching boat. Nearer and nearer it came. The night and the mist prevented its being seen. The man moved close to its line. It was a light caique, he knew from the almost noiseless ripple of the water as the sharp prow cut it. The man gave a slight whistle, when the stroke of the invisible boat ceased and the ripple at its prow died away. “Morslnia !” “Aye, thank heaven!” came the re- sponse. above. “Listen! An oar stroke! Yes. Keep everything tight, Marcus!” Just before this was accomplished a man arrived at the water’s edge close to the south side of the great wall of which the Castle of Seven Towers was the northern flank. He held two horses, saddled and bagged. as if for a distant journey. A second man appeared a moment later, who came up from a clump of bushes a little way below. “In good time, Marcus,"sald the new- comer, who stooped close.to.the vats and nsrenea. putting his hand to his ear so as to exclude all sounds except such as should come from the sea A quarter of an hour later horsemen were clattering down the stony street along the water front of Marmara. pausing now and then to stare out into the sea mist. dashing on, stopping and staring. and on again.

He also related how he had gone to Al- bania. The report of Morsinia’s death had caused the greatest grief to Ka- bllovltsch and thrown General Castrlot into such a rage that he found ease ment for it in a special raid upon the Turkish camp. which raid was remem- vexed £30 W83 Still spoaen {AI 5" we soldiers as the “Call of the Maiden."

In addition, the foresight of Constan- tine had laid in warm wraps and a store of provisions. These were pack- ed in bundles that they might be car- ried conveniently on horses, in the hand or in the boat. as necessity should compel. “I cannot rest." said Morsinia. “when there’is so much to say and hear." “That will stop the hounds,” mutter- ed he. “They will think you have been overturned."
