something almost pathetic in the sx-

II is difficult 20 suppose that some end

will that end be? If it is permissible
to hazard conjecture meant to apply

be mutual elimination by all govern

grope about outside, and then the door
was pushed open. A native advanced
into the room with feeble, unsteady
step. His head dropped forward, his
chin upon his chest. Trevayne gazed
curiously at his visitor, but in a
moment his curiosity was replaced by
pity, for he saw that there were black
cavities where the mans eyes had
been. He had evidently suffered the
Arabs diabolical punishment for theft.
Trevayne's heart was touched. Con-
Guiding that the man was 4 beggar, he
put his hand in his pocket for some
money to give him, saying, impulsively:

But as the native approached, he
stretched forth his hands imploringly,

awoke him with start. Springing
from his bed, he went to the window
overlooking the courtyard.

call of the Muezzin, and by the marvel

drew deep breath; then, turning to

not include an immediate acquaintance

piled, graveiy, ''are sufficiently rested:

that it has more,than sufficiently rested.

Yussuf bowed low and left the room

After nearly three years absence
from England Trevayne had worked

Tangiers, however, he had heard that
a caravan was to start shortly from
Fez into the interior, and with char

On the fourth day, when the sun was

pressive that Trevayne had to gasp for
the breath that seemed to scorch his
very lungs, the half dozen Arabs form

rates of the desert.
In al instant al was animation. The
heat was forgotten. The eameis were
halted and the square formed as at
night, while the motley collection OF
weapons with which the party were
armed. comprising almost all kinds of
firearms, were eagerly examined and
made ready for use.

ing his head.
( At last the camels' loads. after almost
innumera bic futile attempts, were sat
isfactorily arranged, and everything
was ready. AS usual, short prelirni-
nary march was undertaken to test the
mettle of the camels, and then the cara.
van fairly started on its tremendous
! journey.
! Soon the Holy City faded away in the
distance; first the rambling. white,
| ghost-lil.e houses, then the minarets,
| tall and stern as if standing guard
over their lowly brethren; and then the
dropping palm trees with their graceful
outlines projected in jet black against
the blue brightness of the sky, linger-
| ing on the horizon as if bidding last
reluctant good-by to the venturous
travellers.
Then on over the shifting sand dunes
the vast procession ranged, until, the
sand becoming interspersed with sharp,
flinty stones, the caravan was halted in
| order that the camels' feet might be
bound round and round with rags,
making them look like huge boxing
gloves.
Then the night fell, outposts were
stationed half mile or SO distant, aud
the caravan was formed into sort of
agger, but with the camels taking the
place Of the wagons and various inn
pedimenta usually placed On the out
side of the square. Inside big fires
were kept blazing all the night through,
for in the desert the nights are icy cold,
harder TO be borne by reason of the
burning heat of the day. Trevayne
wrapped up in his burnouse-for he had
assumed the Arab costume-lay at q
short distance from one of the fires,
while not far from him lay Yussuf,
asleep and snoring.
At last, just as Trevayne was doing
off, he thought he heard a slight crack
ing-a sound as of some one creeping
towards him through the sand. Start
ing up into sitting posture, he peered
around him. For a moment he could
see nothing, and then, by the light Of
the fire, he discerned man crawling
away on his hands and knees. When
the intruder reached a spot where he
thought he could not be seen, he turned
his head. But Trevayne's sight was
very keen, and he saw, with a feeling
Of astonishment and something like
dismay, that knife cleaned between
the teeth, and that the face was the
face Of Hassan. the dismissed guide.
The object of the nocturnal visit was
only too plain. Murder was written
large on the features of the treach-
erous villain. Revenge was doubtless
the motive. But how did the cur
come there?
Trevayne puzzled over the problem
until the velvet darkness grew into an
austere gray. Then, long before the
sun was up, he was again startled, this
time by shout. Rising to his feet, he
saw two or three Ara bs running around
ard awakening the sleepers by the
simple method of striking them sting
ing blow with long cane.

dole of half a sovereign has been dis
tributed for years to the oldest poor
inhabitants. 1t was given this year to
one hundred and ffty persons, ninety

them appeared in person beaded by an

A survey of the situation from
financial point of view, in which the
governments of the world are at
present placed, reveals very strik-
ingly the similarity of the prob
lems pressing for solution Indus
trial crises are omnipresent, and nat
urally much preoccupied by them, the
governments of the world. like indi-
viduals, are looking into their re-
sources as well as their expenses The
end sought is the reduction of the lat
ter to some measure of moderation,
Whether we consider the case OF France
or Germany, or even that land of bound

lea, the same financial questions are
paramount, although they present
themselves under widely varying
aspects
Thus does final analysis demonstrate
the increase in the cost of maintaining
q government TO be special to no one
country. No matter what the form of
government is. be it further observed,
Il is the constant increase in the ex-
pense account that occasions perturba-
ton. Governments being in not few
respects subject to the same influences
as private individuals, the situation
might be represented as analogous to
that of man who draws more and
more upon his resources as time goes
on. Nay, governments are to great
degree worse off than private individ-
uals. They lack earning power in the
sense that we speak OF the earning
power of an individual.
Now the causes of this general in
crease ir the cost of maintaining any
and every form of government are in
flexible. They operate independently
of the government. This feature of
the problem renders it trebly difficult to
deal with. Yet there are causes that op-
crate in purely relative way. They

homeward-bound caravan, which was
already on the move.
Not until the caravan reached the
Holy City did Trevayne become aware
that Yussuf had not returned with him.
After some deliberation on the subject,
he came to the conclusion that the
guide had been induced to throw in his
lot with the outward bound carvan.
As to his own adventure. Trevayne
