The day died ' in that crimson
glory, and as everything sank into
the aUsabsoxbing shadows the stars
appeared,' flashing and glowing like
ooala of fire. With a curious sough
ing sound the night wind came creep
ing over the " sand, and away In the
east the ' heavens were still chang

the sky was luminous, a brilliant sil
ver gray, and the desert a dead,
lusteriess black.
, Suddenly a disk of fire rose out of
the sand, growing whiter even be
fore it left the horizoniine.
Very dark upon the sand lay the
shadows of the sleeping caravan.
Not a sound or a motion marred that
moment of intense silence. But

is all alone.: ! - !
Surely, it is: coming directly to

sense should , surely warn him to

Hark! He speaks! He speaks in
English! Pure, ' clear, unaccented,
immaculate English. My oldest
servant, who has been with me for a
year, still thinks me an Egyptian
Turk. Why should that magnifi
cent being upon the white camel's
back be so much wiser? But what
a question! Out there, alone.' on-
Nubian desert, a phantom comes
over the trackless sand, pauses be
side me, and a voice, that thrills
one with its melody, asks: "Will
you kindly favor me with a match?"
A match! The last thing in the
world to be found on the 'Nubian
desert rarer even than the English
language. What right had that
mysterious 'creature to suspect that
In my girdle there is a case of pre

Fully convinced, that I was dream
ing, I produced -the match and
watched as it flashed and faded and
flared again at the tip of a tiny
cigarette, disclosing a slender hand,
an enormous diamond and a face!
That was alL 1 The match was care
lessly thrown away.' The prod was
used. The camel wailed and, with
a convulsion that extended from
nose, to tall, slowly resumed his pil
grimage. . '
As they started, the rider turned
and said: "My caravan is somewhere
back upon the sand.' If you should
pass a hundred camels, more or less,
headed toward the river,, with a
leader who seems to be stupidly
looking for something, teU hizoin

A wreath of white smoke floated
in the moonlight' and.' the white
camel moved away, growing fainter
and fainter till orjly a dark shadow
swayed upon the white sand in that
mysterious land of silhouettes.
It wm my flrat night on the Nu

a little distance, and grew towards
the supports, Jrherever placed. " '
The plant' was a convolvulus, and
when a long pole was placed near it,
and in such a way that the tendrils
would have to ' turn away from the
light to reach It, they Invariably did
so, and within a few hours trained

to at stations, and the ticket sell-,
ers wouldn't or couldn't change it
' You ought to have more sense!
than to bring that here,'-said one fel
low, and he looked as though Td at-,
tempted to rob him. " "
"Well, I retreated downstairs and.
went into a restaurant and got a
glass of beer. When I tendered
the twenty-dollar gold piece' the
bartender went to the other end of
the counter, and, instead of getting
the change, brought out a big club.
I didn't stay to see what he was go

"I went out and walked a block in
deep thought. I needed not only
that. five cents to get home on, but
I had to have change for some little
things up town, and something to
get back down town the next day.
For you might as well have had a
onethdusand-dollar note as that
twenty dollars in my neighborhood.
Still I felt that I couldn't reasonably
expect a man to change a twenty
nowadays for a five-cent check. Hav
ing arrived . at this conclusion, and
being hungry, and morally certain
that I had missed my dinner, I went
into a restaurant to get something to
eat. They didn't know me in the
place, and I was certain to get a
square meal anyhow. I ordered a
Tery substantial dinner and leaned
back to read my evening paper. Just
as the feed was due the head waiter
ame to me and asked me to change
a two-dollar note. I told him I was
sorry couldn't do it. In fact, I was
greatly in need of change myself.
" 'What's your smallest?' he asked.

he. ' 'We've had that worked on us

."Here was a pretty go. But there
was no help for It. Then I walked
two blocks the other way till I came
to the place of a man who knew me
by sight, a place where I had often
lunched. Being one of his regular
customers, I felt that I had the right
to presume on him a little. Well, I
went in and had a good dinner, fori
was getting all-fired hungry by this
time. I washed It down with a
couple of bottles of beer and felt bet
ter. When I came to pay him, bow
ever, the cashier simply . asked my
name and place of business. He put
these down on a sheet of paper.
" But I want to pay, slid I, and
I want some change. ,
" 'Sorry, says he, 'can't give yon

piie whole transaction being' carried

though he saw a way to ' get two
thousand dollars in currency with
out paying the premium demanded
by his Boston correspondent. So
he forwarded the check to Rockland
by express for collection. It Is,
however, a very rare day when. the
cashier of this particular Rockland
bank gets caught at disadvantage,
and he easily saw through the game
that his Bar Harbor contemporary
'was playing. He bad two bUJs in his
vault of the denomination of one
thousand dollars each,; and with
these he' Cashed the check. ' When
the cashier had paid the express on
these bills and then paid another
