David came to know a startling piece of news the next morning-that Foorgat Bey had died of heart-disease in his bed, and was so found by his servants. He at once surmised that Foorgat's body had been carried out of the Palace; no doubt that it might not be thought he had come to his death by command of Kaid. His mind became easier.
Naught but ruin could follow the telling of the tale at this moment his work, his life, all done. The scandal, the law, vengeance! But as it is now, Kaid may turn to him again; his work may yet go on he has had the luck of angels, and Kaid is fickle. Who can tell?" Abashed and overwhelmed, Ebn Ezra Bey looked at him keenly. "To tell of Foorgat Bey would ruin thee also," he said.
If it had been, I should have been permitted to kill Foorgat Bey with my own hands." "I should have found it hard to exact the penalty from you, madame." The words were uttered in so neutral a way that they were enigmatical, and she could not take offence or be sure of his meaning. "Think, Excellency. Have you ever known one so selfless, so good, so true?
It was a door shutting not far off. Kaid was coming. David turned his face towards the room where Foorgat Bey was lying dead. He lifted his arms with a sudden passionate gesture. The blood came rushing through his veins again. His life, which had seemed suspended, was set free; and an exaltation of sorrow, of pain, of action, possessed him. "I have taken a life, O my God!" he murmured.

It would much have astonished him if Nahoum had not shown a gaping darkness somewhere in his tale, and he felt for the key to the mystery. "And he who lies dead, excellency?" "My brother." "Foorgat Bey!" "Even he, Mizraim. He lured the girl here a mad man ever. The other madman was in the next room. He struck come, and thou shalt see."
"Hast thou, then, such malice against Death? These things cannot happen save by the will of God." "And by the hand of man. But I have no cause for revenge. Foorgat died in his sleep like a child. Yet if it had been the hand of man, Prince Kaid or any other, I would not have held my hand until I had a life for his." "Thou art a Christian, yet thou wouldst meet one wrong by another?"
If it be God's will that I shall die here, my work undone, then, smiling, I shall go with step that does not falter, to live once more; and another day the work that I began will rise again in spite of you or any man. "Nahoum, the killing of Foorgat Bey has been like a cloud upon all my past. You know me, and you know I do not lie.
Then think that I hid the deed for one who was a stranger to me, whose life must ever lay far from mine, and see clearly that I did it for a woman's sake, and not for this woman's sake; for I had never seen her till the moment I struck Foorgat Bey into silence and the tomb. Will you not understand, Nahoum? "Yonder, I see the tribes that harry me.
