should turn black. and the soil should
become barren. So no more rain fell
In this town, and all the wells became
dry. and all the rocks turned black,
and all the soil grew barren.
And the strange people who had
driven the queen from her throne cried
with a great cry for water and fol-
food. Their god. to whom they were
building the temple in the market
place, heard their cry and came to
them. Over the gate Of the city the
father OF the queen was sitting when
this strange god came down the hill.
The two gods met In the valley. Then
they fought as mortals never fought,
and the hills shot forth flames. The
new god fell. And with him were des'
troyed his followers, and all the VIC
torious horde was wiped from the
earth. The father Of the queen waa
grievously wounded and was carried
home by his angels. and even to this
day has never recalled the curse which
he cast upon this land.
For many years nothing but the
memory Of the departed hosts filled
this valley. At last commerce came
with her galleys and her ships and
people again landed here and built
their houses upon the rocks, broken
and twisted into heaps by the feet OF
the warning gods. Today Alden has

Alden guards the lower entrance OF
the Red sea. 1t Is built In the crater
of an extinct volcano and all the land
is barren. This Is the country where
1t never rains. There is good reason
for this in the eyes Of Mother Nature,
and reason, good or bad, according to
the pilots who guide the boats among
the islands of the sea. And all the
+ natives are OF the same mind, espe-
cially those who have listened to the
stories of hardship and trials told
them in their childhood as they swung
in their grass hammocks in the shad-
ows of their huts. Mahomet Begin his
flowing robes of blue and his turban OF
green and his yellow shoes. told the
story as he sat before his open door
scanning the sea for a sail or the
smoke Of a steamer looking for pi-
lot:
"Once the rains fell here as they do
In Port Said at the other end Of the
Red sea, and even as they do In Co
lombo and Singapore, and all the rest
OF the world" Mahomet Bey shook
his head and sighed as he thought OF
times when no one had to carry wa
ter from the springs beneath the tides
OF the sea. But this was In the days
of long, long ago, and all we know OF
that time or Of the things that hap
pened then Is what is told us by our
elders or sung to us as we lay In our
cradles. According to the legends Ras
Sanailah, which same is now Alden,
lay in a beautiful valley with palms
waving on the hills and figs and vines
trailing off as far as the eye could see.
In this valley was beautiful city, and
in the center of this city stood the pal
ace of the queen. Surrounding her
were her attendants and her armies.
But the soldiers had little to do, for
the whole land was at peace.
Zone evening when the sky was
filled with red haze, the enemy came,
riding upon the sea and swarming
across the land, trampling under foot
this beautiful valley and finally sit
ting down before the gates Of the city.
crying for it's surrender. Black were
the hearts of the besiegers and dark
were their deeds as they went back
and forth. The queen was helpless in
her palace, and after time all the
provisions were eaten. One dark night
when the thunders were crashing and
the floods were descending upon the
earth a captain Of the queens army
opened the gates just little way that
he might slip out and so escape in the
storm to the hills. Another captain
saw him, and he, too, tried to escape.
So 1t was the enemy saw these two
captains of the queens army running
down the highway and threw its whole
strength against the gate and forced IT
open.

In Venezuela, the castor-oil plant
growing around houses is believed to
keep mosquitoes away. In that coun-
try the plant grows to the size Of a
tree and is perennial, whereas in more
temperate climates 1t attains a height
of only four or FIVE feet. But United
States Consul Plumacher at Maracaibo
thinks the plant would be equally eff
fective against mosquitoes anywhere.

the plant in a room, he says. the pests

THE UMBRELLA MEMBER WOULD
FARE BADLY IN ALDEN.
"There was a great cry from all the
houses in the city and the palace.
When daylight came not one was left
alive. Even the two captains were
caught and carried back to their suf-
fering fellows and their bodies were
added to the great procession which
headed for the sea.
Now it so happened that this queen
was the daughter of god, who at
that time was on hunt in the wilds
and jungles of the desert, and so did
not know of the trials his daughter,
the queen, was enduring all the days
of the siege. AS she was mortal she
had to die as the rest had died, but
her father, the god, was very wroth
when he learned of the fate of Ras
Sanailah and hurried away across the
deserts and jungles of Africa to this
land. The enemy was living in all
the good houses Of the city as well as
in the palace. In the market place
before the palace new temple to a
strange god was being built.
The father of the queen sat upon the
walls of the city and thought what
would be the most severe and lasting
punishment that he could infiict. He
knew If he should put them to death
other people would come and take
their places. Then he bethought him
to desolate the valley and the hills
and all the land. Even this would be
but temporary as far as the immortals
go, for Nature would again spread her
green leaves and the fronds of her
palms, her figs. and her grapes over
the valley and the hills. SO 1t was this
