His Love Story by Marie Van Vorst

Under the sun, under the starry nights Tremont, with his burden, / journeyed toward the north. The halts were distasteful to him, and / although he was forced to rest he would rather have been cursed with / sleeplessness and have journeyed on and on. He rode his camel like a / Bedouin; he grew brown like the Bedouins and under the hot breezes, / swaying on his desert ship, he sank into dreamy, moody and melancholy / reveries, like the wandering men of the Sahara, and felt himself part / of the desolation, as they were.

"What will be, will be! " Hammet Abou said to him a hundred times, and / Tremont wondered: "Will Charles live to see Algiers?"
