Ibrahirn did not tarry. Even sooner,
think, than was expected by our impatient
leader, there was sound of grunting and
snorting and low voices in the darkness un.
derneath that made him smile.

man softly.

Suleiman.

as he expressed It, in Ibrahims bosom be

hurriedly forming circle about our spoils
we thrust and cut n way to the compare

were loaded and the ladies provided with
litters. This care was taken that they might
depreciate as little as possible in value.
We had not finished when dense volumes
of smoke were seen ascending from the
castle.
"What the Bedouin leaves the flames

sky.

DESCRIPTION.

West Arlington, our latest and fin
est home suburb, is situated 1-2 miles
west of Providence, on the N. Y. &
N. T.. r. r., between Arlington and
Cranston stations. 1t is but seven
minutes ride from the Union Depot,
and we have secured new sta
tion on the property. All trains
stopping at Cranston and
other local points, stop regu-
larly at West Arlington. The
Cranston street electric road, and
the new Belt Line Electric, (Which
will connect Cranston, West Arling-
ton, Auburn and Providence), also
run directly past the property. 1t is
the most accessible of any suburban
tract about Providence.
The estate consists OF some 100 acres
In the vicinity of the Narragansett
Driving Park and Spectacle Pond,
(half Of which belong to it), and
is a perfect plateau, elevated and
rolling, admirably adapted TO home
building. The land is a clear gravel
sub-soil, with a surface dressing
OF loan, covered with green
sward and without rocks or
underbrush. Several beautiful groves
of chestnut, oak, etc, and the natural
lake with its islands enhance the
beauty OF the property. There is
fine outlook from nearly every point.
1t is high, dry and healthful, and ad-
joins thoroughly developed neigh
borhood, in close proximity to schools,
markets, churches, stores, etc.: the
new 10000 school house is within a
stones throw. Four of the principal
boulevards lead directly out of Nara
gansett avenue, one running through
the entire property from Cranston
street to Park avenue, shortening this
distance one half mile. This is ac-
complished by an UNDER-GRADE
CROSSING NOW BEING BUILT BY
US AT A COST OF 5000.

of broken ribs till he was laughed and bull
lied out of his complaints.
We made straight for the desert as our
safest retreat, never drawing rein till the
sun was well up and we were once more
alone. Then we halted to refresh ourselves
with some Of the good things provided by
Amood Sinn But before there was either
eating or drinking Suleiman drew up the
band and made little speech.
1--WE have with us four princesses as
beautiful as the morning and as soft as the
dove" he said, making salaam toward
the litters 1--WE value the gifts of heaven,
and my purpose in speaking is TO let il be
known that, by my life, the man who layeth
profane finger on these fair ones shall die
the death of a dog. Yet is there much tc

Yep, eat and drink in honor of our victories.
There is sweet SAVIOR already In my nos

on the ground beside their horses. the WON

Suleiman stepped 10 the latticed window,

OUR IMPROVEMENTS!

In addition to the new depot-which
will be one of the handsomest on the
road and the five thousand dollar
culvert for under-grsde crossing, We are
expending thousands OF dollars in other
practical public improvements.
All streets and boulevards are being
laid out to the towns grade and ac-
ceptance in the best possible manner, 40
and so feet wide; sidewalks are being
made on all streets, and shade trees will
be planted wherever needed. The drain
age is perfect. Application has been made
for gas and water. No expense or pains
will be spared toward making this the
finest residential suburb about Provi-
dence, attractive and thoroughly high
class in allrespects. We make all improve
ments entirely free Of cost to purchasers.

America Photographed.

Monument Park is near Colorado
Springs and Manitou, Colorado. 1t is
chiefly noted for fantastic forms Of the
rocks in it's limits, on the surface of
which time and the action of the air and
water have worn the cream-colored sand
stone into queer groups of figures, some
of them resembling human beings. In
No. s of america Photographed is an
illustration of some Of these queer forms
called the "Quakers.' Near the park is
the burial place of Helen Hunt jackson,
the poetess and authoress. Another
view of a similar nature is given in the
same number, and is of Phantom Curve,
on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad.

School Appropriations.

The.committee on estimates and expen-
ditures of the school board held meet
Tuesday afte ernoon for the purpose of
making a schedule OF estimates to be
submitted to the City Council.
Owing to the increase of pupils in the
High School, the existence of the man
ual training department, and the con-
templated establishment of at least two
more kindergartens, larger appropria-
ton for teachers salaries will be asked,
probably about $4,000 more than the
past year. =
~. Under the head of special appropria-
tions the total amount asked for will be
very much less than last year. Among
the items are principals room at the
Butter and at the Shaylor school, nav
floors for Center street school, improve
ments in High School yard.
Estimates for ordinary expenditures,
outside of teachers salaries, will be
about the same as heretofore.

There was fresh breeze with the mist
and rain in the harbor yesterday, and
outside it was so rough that the schoon-

middle of the forenoon, came back to
the shelter of the harbor within half
hour.

Other arrivals yesterday were the bark
Alice, with coal, with her mizzen top
mast gone; the schooners Cumberland,
Il. S. Little, Calvin F. Baker, and A.

Early in the morning, the long overdue
schooner Talofa came in. Her detention
was due simply to bad weather, which
kept her anchored in Hampton Roads.
Att. S. Winslow & Co.'s Office in the
forenoon, was held the annual meeting of
