About horse and horsewoman alike there was something theat- rical, for the beast was a snow-white Arab stallion, whose arched neck, distended nostrils and flowing mane and tail ‘were picturesque in the most exact sense of the word.

And the rider, too, was in white from head to foot, from the crown 0f her topi to the buckskin shoes. under snowy jodhpur breeches to match the lon riding coat. Even ‘ hcr- gauntlet g oves were white, and

At. first. the North-West Frontier rumour llt‘i'.~li“?lU(l, their buzzed on the wires of innumerable telephone and telegraph messages came an- other, that the troops were intend- ed for Ecypt. But during those rum- orous clays the routine work of mob- ilization continued. The equipment was there and was duly and punc- tuolly issued directly the scaled and secret orders were received.

One morning Strjuan came home to the bungalow with news.

“In five days . . .i"

"In five days." , "Well . . Chrissie gave a. little shaken laugh. "It's better t0 . . . to know . . . for certain, isn't ?" "I think so, darling-yes“ I'm thankful m self. One wants to be

"And do you know where ou're going?" Chrissie asked, her ands on Struans shoulders, her eyes searching his face, anxiously.
