t.'lken by the man ti I lie plaid suit

Hot move away, but stands there tit
the elbow of the scribe, wailing for
that in'onuliiuhle scribbling to he
done, a:id meanwhile winching tin- 1
lively seetie upon the groat square of
ICsbchiych.
It is eertaitily a good sight f.r for- I
flgn eyes, and otto that will nevi-r he
forgotten. Although the lnoiitli is

l)p hard to believe the Moha mined:! it j
fast corresponding to our Lent is in ,
progress. Tiie Koran, however, only
demands observance of strict rules !
from sunrise to sunset, so that in
oriental coitniries Hie devout worship- !
crs make night a period of feasting. :
Just at the present period many Ian- j
terns and llambcaux and lamps il-
lumiue the grand s.piaro, from which j
Bfise discordant sounds, a perfect j
liabel of confusion. Here, under a j
cluster of palms, a siiako-charmor
handle his cobras with apparent im- I
puuity, boxing their heads mid cans-
lug thei!i to d.i all manner of strange i
things. Near by are dragomans, or j
guides, haggling with owners of don
keys, who. in turn, scold or cuff the
toys in charge o!" the little beasts.
Close by .".re fakirs, pretending 1.1
Bell wonderful things for a trille:
mountebanks, dealers hi turban:--,
fezes, relies ami handkerchiefs, and a
general conglomeration of Idle, curi
ous strollers.
The light discl-ises a picture that
can probably be looked upon in no
other city save I a masons. ll"re min
gle Turks, with their red fez and na
tional dress; Arabs. In white botinioiis
nnd turban: native fcllahin. or Fgyp
tliins, wearing blue gowns and 1 1 1 u
everlasting brown skull-cap; Jews,
with long beards nnd sober garments:
Nubians, Persians, Ciceks nnd a
sprinkling of foreigners. The red
coats of r.rltish soldiers give way
pretty much to the sensible white that
la worn In all hot countries; still there
Is enough to lend color to the kaleido
scopic picture.
The stout man sees nil this without
emotion: he seldom, if ever, allows
himself to be so deeply Interested i;t
anything as to forget himself. Stand
ing just back of the tilted chair of
the smaller man, who writes sheet
nfter sheet with railroad rapidity, lie
puffs nway at his cigar nud calmly
waits for tlu time to come when h!s
friend will have exhausted the sub
ject or blunted nil his pencils. Every
thing comes to the one who has pa

trait in the character of the stout tour

A vision In white floats up to where
they art- seated, and both men spring
to their feet. This American girl Is
n fair, fresh plcture-n healthy daugh
ter of the land across the sea. She
is not actually beautiful, but there
Is n chnnu about face and manner
that draws a host of friends to her
side. Mol'ie Tanner is a taking girl,
vivnelotis, (pilck, tender-hearted true.
You can read her constancy In the
clear, frank, fearless gray eyes. Lucky
the man who wins her heart. It will
be for all time.

man. Yes, Mynheer Joe has been
Willi Cordon at Khartooiu; he was last
heard of there. Now we shall see
what news he brings. I am ready if
you are, Mr. l'.arlow."
Sandy smiles as he remembers that
this man. now all eagerness to depart,
was iti 110 hurry before, but took things
in a cool maimer, as though the world
was not made in a day, and Obeil
Crimes bad no need of haste. Cir
cumstances alter o:im's, and the mi-re
mention of a name has put new energy
in Mr. Crimes.
Nor is tin' war correspondent less
eager to be on the way. lie has re
ceived something of a shock upon hear
ing Moily speak thai nam-. Memo,
rles of the past are recalled, which
lake him to olio r sci-nes.
"You will pardon us for leaving
you':' says the polite Mr. Crimes to
the young girl.
"Ce-.-ia inly. Indeed, you cannot go
too soon to phase me. 1 am anxious
to hear what this poor man lias to
say. To me CeiH-ral Cordon has al
ways been 1 lie h -ro of the heroes, and
any one who conns from him de
mands my attention and sympathy. Co
then to this poor Ci'i-maii. see what he
most needs, and if Molly Taiaier or
her father cm in any way help him,
do not neglect 10 give me notice."
Again the two men glance toward
each other nud smile, but although
she sees 1I1K tln re is 110 explanation
1 made of their actions,
j Mowing to the j-iiiiuj American girl,
: they tui'.i away, leaving the piazza
of the hotel.
"itcmembi'i-:" lloats her warning
voice ai'ter them, and Mr. Crimes,
turning, waves his hand.
Then ihey are lost in the crowd
that jostle iPiows in the s.piare called
MsUcliiyi-h. in front of Sh-pherd's Ho
le!. Around them sound th voices of
dragoman and fakir, mule driver and

"Let's hire a light-no getting around

They discover near by one of those
link boys, whose trade Is fast dying
out la Cairo since the Improvements
advanced by British rule. Time was,
and not so very long ago, cither, when,
after sunset on moonless nights, the
great city on the Nile was wrapped in
darkness and the law compelled any
one moving abroad to carry a lighted
lanteru or flanibeau.
The city being divided into three dis
tinct quarters, separated by gates, and
known as the region of Copts, Jews,
and Franks, no one could pass through
after nightfall unless bearing a light.
la many parts of the strange, whited
city on the east bank of the Nile, it
is still necessary to carry a torch or
lantern, unless one means to invite
all maimer of dangers, although the
law with regard to this thing has
fallen into desuetude since the English
l:ae made so many innovations with

Two Pennsylvania girls who went to
Nebraska as children lost their parents
by death, and then, after a precarious
existence spent in trying to teach
school, determined to turn farmers.
Miss Libbie Scott and Miss Allie
Fish now own the best ranch in Pdatne
County, Nebraska. In an Interview
they are reported ns saying:
"After carefully thinking t In matter
over, we determined that school teach

farm. From our fathers we inherited
half a seel ion of land. We each took up
a homestead of bin acres. In ilie soring

by planting eighty acres. Willi four
horses on our lister we made the

"When our corn was ready to culti

"The second summer we listed eighty-live

Well. I think we were, lint we were

we put up oM ions of hay without any

Why is it that a woman's bump of
locality is so much more feebzly de
veloped than a man's? asks the Balti

that he will find his wny wherever
he wishes to go -without having to ask
at nearby farm houses for directions.
Instinct seems to guide him. Put a

minutes, and have to lie sought for
by resolute men for hours before she
is finally brought back to civilization.
Perhaps it Is that the weaker sex
is unobservant. Even in cities many
of its members do not notice buildings
closely enough to permit them to find
their way about, and certainly they
would not notice in the country the
big hum tree that they pass here nor
the haw bush that marks the intersec
tion of the two roads there. With the
pun low in the west there are many
women who can't tell the points of
the compass, nud if tlicy could would
not know in which direction their
homes lav. When it comes to noting
the details of a costume few fenii
nines fail to observe even the tiniest
bit of braid or the smallest bow, but
trees and houses are din en lit. and Ics

A New I'liuMe (if Cfi-Oitcmtion.
Why not a league of twenty or more
families in a cily or large town for
joint ownership or cotiirol of a market
garden or produce farm, thereby to
sae the profits of the producer and
retailer? This idea has occurred to a
professional gentleman who is a snb
xcrihcr to Cood Housekeeping, ami th
osliniaies he has prepared go to show
that a huge saving Would be effected,
with the present high prices of table
supplies. The originator of the plan
advocates Hie leasing of a farm, rather
than its ownership, to avoid the high
cost of shares in the enterprise, which
would lie likely to prove a serious ob
stacle to its promotion. A capital of
live thousand dollars, it Is estimated,
advanced by twenty households, would
equip and start a farm of sutticlent
size to furnish "green stuff" to go
around. An effort will be made to
carry out this project another year.

Antuinli Coatd.
The coats of nil the costumes de
signed for early autumn are made
long enough to come more than naif
way down the skirt, and the short
Jacket of last year and the year be
fore is quite out of date. And yet,
to show how capricious is fashion, an
immensely smart little coat is on tl.e
old-fashioned reefer style, double
breasted nnd curved iu at the sides.
After all, the fashion which remains
as many styles com- and go, is to
pay more and more attention to which
style is becoming to the especial indi
vidual who is to wear it: and from all
present indications the winter and au
tuniii will imt show any more detinue,
ly marked lin-s than did last year.
