Egypt will shake to its foundations to the joy of its enemies." "Then he shall die secretly." "The Prince Pasha of Egypt will be called a murderer." Kaid shrugged his shoulders. "The Sultan Europe is it well?" "I will tell the truth," Kaid rejoined angrily. "If the Effendina will trust me, Prince Harrik shall confess his crime and pay the penalty also." "What is thy purpose?"
Do the spirit voices give thee that counsel?" he snarled. "I am come to ask Prince Harrik to repair the wrong he has done. When the Prince Pasha came to know of thy treason " Harrik started. "Kaid believes thy tale of treason?" he burst out. "Prince Kaid knows the truth," answered David quietly. "He might have surrounded this palace with his Nubians, and had thee shot against the palace walls.
In the red- curtained room Harrik sat alone, listening until he heard the far clatter of hoofs, and knew that the Nubians were gone. Then the other distant sound which had captured his ear came to him again. In his fancy it grew louder and louder.
"There are ways to make them tell. Now, speak, effendi, and tell me what I shall do to Harrik." "Wouldst thou proclaim to Egypt, to the Sultan, to the world that the army is disloyal? If these guilty men are seized, can the army be trusted? Will it not break away in fear? Yonder Nubians are not enough a handful lost in the melee.
Egypt will shake to its foundations to the joy of its enemies." "Then he shall die secretly." "The Prince Pasha of Egypt will be called a murderer." Kaid shrugged his shoulders. "The Sultan Europe is it well?" "I will tell the truth," Kaid rejoined angrily. "If the Effendina will trust me, Prince Harrik shall confess his crime and pay the penalty also." "What is thy purpose?"
"I will go to his palace and speak with him." "Seize him?" "I have no power to seize him, Effendina." "I will give it. My Nubians shall go also." "Effendina, I will go alone. It is the only way. There is great danger to the throne. Who can tell what a night will bring forth?" "If Harrik should escape " "If I were an Egyptian and permitted Harrik to escape, my life would pay for my failure.
"But what his purpose was when he spied upon and bribed my army I know not. Yet, it shall be said, he has held Harrik back Harrik, my brother. Son of Sheitan and slime of the Nile, have I not spared Harrik all these years!" "Hast thou proof, Effendina?" "I have proof enough; I shall have more soon. To save their lives, these, these will tell. I have their names here." He tapped the papers.
He has spoken, and thy evil is discovered." He paused. Still Harrik did not reply, but looked at him with dilated, fascinated eyes. Death had hypnotised him, and against death and destiny who could struggle? Had not a past Prince Pasha of Egypt safeguarded himself from assassination all his life, and, in the end, had he not been smothered in his sleep by slaves?
"A woman of the Prince heard him give instructions for thy disposal, Effendina, when the Citadel should turns its guns upon Cairo and the Palace. She was once of thy harem. Thou didst give her in marriage, and she came to the harem of Prince Harrik at last. A woman from without who sang to her a singing girl, an al'mah she trusted with the paper to warn thee, Effendina, in her name.
Harrik muttered to himself in rage. His heart was dark, he thirsted for the life of this arrogant Inglesi. Did the fool not see his end? Midnight was at hand! He smiled grimly. "This is the interpretation, O Prince!
