Egypt, Arabia pass before your eyes. The impatient cursing of the camel
men comes to your ears. Your nostrils quiver in the acrid smoke of the
little fires of dung that flare in the darkness when the caravan halts.
The night has shut off prying eyes. Yashmaks are lowered. White flesh

The girl recoiled as from a blow. Was this man who paraded his conquests
before her the same one who had feasted so freely on her lips that

She was his prisoner now. He had stolen her and brought her to his
stronghold in the desert. Her father was also a captive. Pansy Langham's
life had crashed in ruins about her. What good were her millions now?
The mask had been removed. Raoul Le-Breton was the Sultan Casim El
Ammeh!--a Mohammedan!
And yet she wanted no man's kisses but his. Love for him consumed her,
but race and religion stood between them.
Little did she guess that the Arab had foreseen this minute, that he had
trailed her father, Sir George for fifteen years. The Englishman, a
captain at the time, had killed his father. Casim El Ammeh had not
forgotten. Revenge was his at last!
He had intended having his way with her and then selling her as a
slave--a fate more cruel than a white man could conceive. But love--an
emotion an Arab scoffs at--had come to thwart him. Was he to forego his
oath of an eye for an eye, or open the doors of his harem and seek
forgetfulness?
