He knew the dangers of the country of old, but the girl laughed at his warnings and believed that the life and property were as safe as it is on Broadway, New York. The girl hired a dragoman, and took an excursion into the desert, despite her sweetheart's most emphatic warning. It does not pay to disregard the advice of the well informed, as the girl soon found to her cost, for the treacherous guide led her into the midst of a band of Arabs. The chief of the clan had seen the girl roaming about the bazaars, and had ordered the dragoman to lure her to his camp. After she had been made a prisoner, the chief sent a demand for a heavy ransom to her father. The father was willing to pay, but the fiancé, declaring the elder man was too feeble to make the journey, won his consent to be messenger to the desert. The Arab chief met him at the appointed place, but treacherously refused to return the girl after receiving the money. A fight followed, and the white man was left for dead on the desert sands. Where love failed, jealousy won. The Arab's favorite wife had been detailed as guard over the American girl, and believed that her sway was disputed. Therefore she willingly listened to the girl's plea for freedom, guided her from the camp, and gave her a horse. On her way across the desert, the girl met her American sweetheart, wounded, but still determined not to return without her. The two rode away together, were pursued, and the American had the grim satisfaction of evening scores with the Arab who had dared to cast his eyes on a woman who was far superior to him.
