home.

When they started off a few
minutes later the stars were bright
and Clemency's quickened heart
beats toned down to the peace
which seemed to have fallen over
everything.
THe town through whie hthey
had so pass again, lay glimmering
beneath the stars. '
The street was narrow, and she
judged that it was near the spot
where Hamish had spoken to her
that morning. .They were ap
rmuhing a small, Dbrilliantly
ighted case, where under the gay
awnings the tables were filled
withy a cosmopolitan ecrowd. As
they drew nearer, a sudden hub
bubr started up inside the case and
died down again as three men in
European civilian clothes came
out, two of them half laughingly
trying to persuade their compan
fon to go along with them, but he
was obviously very drunk.
At that moment an Arab, stoll
fng across the road in the casual
way of his kind, almost Isalked in
front of the car, forcing Piers to
brake sharptly; and Clemency
found herself locking straight into
the flushed face of the man at the
table. After an instant’s startled
amazement she recognized Jon
Amberley.
She bit back an exclamation as
the ear drove on. Had Piers seen
his Brother? If so, it seemed ob
vious that he wanted to ignore the
encounter. Then as they slipped
inte the shadows he stopped the
car, and without a word opened
the door beside him and got out.
“Jules—"
Jules had already joined his
employer, and the two men moved
a little away from the car.
Piers’ voice came back to Clem
sney, the tone but not the words,
st and incisive, Jules answered
Mick monosyllables, and pres
y went striding back towards
the ease, while his employer got
into the car again and drove on.
“Jules is going to spend the night
in Biskra,” he said.
Resentment against Jon stirred
in her. How could he behave like
that? Everyone in Biskra must
know who he was—how could he
let himself and his brother down
im such a way? Suddenly things
she had not understood and had
not let herself think about, feel
ing they were none of her busi
mbtm to drop into place.
moodiness — his excitability,
the black depression she had some
times noticed. His strangeness that
first night, Syrie’s evident con
tempt for her husband. Perhaps
there was something to be said
for Igfle after all.
then suddenly the soft hum
of the car’s engine was smothered
by a report which made her nearly
start out of her seat and sent the
car into a skidding spin. |
. ..
Only the driver's strong wrists
and presence of mind could have
righted it and brought it to a safe
halt about a foot from a solitary
palm tree, impact with which
would have meant something too
ugly to contemplate.
“Are you all right?” Piers look
ed at the girl bedide him, realizing
that she had not uttered a sound
where nine women out of 10
would have screamed their lungs
out, probably have clutched his
arm and overturned them.
“Yes, I am all right, thank you.”
“That was a darned back tire,”
he said savagely., “These roads
really are fiendish.”
“So I—gather.,” The sound of
her own voice did something the
blow out had failed to do. She
began to laugh hysterically.
“Now!” he warned sharply.
“T've got-some brandy somewhere
—you’'ll be better when you have
had some.”
He reached into the pocket be
side him and brought out a silver
flask and a collapsible drinking
cup. He poured a generous meas
tre of brandy.
But the hand she obediently
stretched out was shaking too
much to be trusted. He put an arm

about her shoulders, and steady
ing her against him, held the cup
to her lips. She swallowed and
choked as the burning liquid ran
down her throat. ‘
“That's better.” He tossed away
the last few drops, and put flask
and cup on the seat beside him,
still keeping hold of her. “You can
how!l now if you want to.”
“I don't,” she said weakly.
“Then keep‘quiet :or a minute.”
Tt seemed perfectly natural to
obey him. She closed her eyes,
aware of the hard firmness of his
shoulder behind her head, of the
strength of his arms around her.
The moon was rising and by its
light he looked = down at her,
watching the color steal back into
her face — noting subconsciously
the rhadows her lowered lashes
threw on her cheeks.
Lovely, desirable, made to be
loved. . . .
He straightened abruptly, tak
ing his arm from about her, break
ing the spell before it was tooi
strong to resist.
“Better now? I'll go and look
into the matter of that tire.”
For a long moment Clemency
remained where he had left her,
while he fixed the blow-out. Half
frightened, she strove vehemently
to deny the shaken flames in her
blood.
Death was not a thing one want
ed to contemplate at the best of
times, and she was much too
young to be a stoic. Least of all
did death seem desirable when
one had just discovered how ter
rible sweet it' could be to live.
But that knowledge was away
in the back of her mind, where
she would keep it safely locked.
If she- could. ‘
