CHAPTFR XIV.

As the year advanced the servants at
Mount Morven remarked that the weeks
seemed to follow each other more slowly
than usual. If the question had been
asked in past days: Who is the brightest
and happiest member OF the family? ev-
erybody would have said, Kitty. II the
question had been asked at the present
time. differences of opinion might have
suggested different answers. but the whole
household would have refrained without
hesitation from mentioning the child's
name. Since Sydney Westerfeld's depar-
ture Kitty had never held up her head.
Then typhoid fever set in. The doctor
smoke privately to Mr.. Linley. The child's
debilitated condition-that lowered state
of the vital power which he had observed
when Kitty's case was first submitted TO
him-placed a terrible obstacle in the way
of successful resistance to the advances
of the disease.
Say nothing to Mrs. Linley just yet.
There is no absolute danger so far, unless
delirium sets in
On the next evening but one the fatal
symptom showed itself. There was moth

ARAB OF THE DESERT.
HE is A FASCINATING FIGURE
UNDER THE PALMS.
Some Live in Houses Made of Sun
Dried Red Bricks, While the Bedouins
i've in Tents, Which Are Camel
Cloths Stretched Over Bonghs-

One Of the most fascinating figures
to be met with. especially If you meet
him at home, is the Arab Of to-day.
The Gases are little islands Of beauty
set ia sea OF sand consisting Of a null
titude Of palm trees growing where
there Is sufficient water. for the Arabs
say that the palm Stands with its feet
in the water and its head in the fires
of Heaven" Without the palm the
desert, indeed, would be ..uniuhabited
and uninhabitable."
There are some 800 cases In the Sa-
hara of various sizes. One Of the chief
is Biskra, which has not less than 1GO.-
600 palms, and from which we get large
quantities Of our dates. TO see. after
hours OF weary travelling. so many
palms in such a setting is a sight as
impressing as 1t Is beautiful.
The French Sahara covers 1913, 500
square miles, and $4,000 Arabs live in
1t. In the Gases they build their houses
beneath the palms, which afford much
needed shade from the hot sun. sun
dried mud bricks are the chief things
used in making these houses.
/ Palm trees provide any timber neees-
sary. The houses are two stories high.
But for the low doorways one would
think they were high walls only. All
the internal light is obtained By an
opening on the courtyard, round which
the house is built
The Arab home is somewhat Of a
prison for the women. who are rarely
seen abroad. They take their walks
upon the fat roofs. which are common
to all Eastern lands.
But few Arabs live IN houses. They
are great wanderers. Wherever yoI
travel in Algeria you are always meet
ing large caravans on the move.
These Bedouins live in tents, which
are simply camel-cloths stretched owe
boughs. For the most part they ar,
very poor. and live on the produce OF
few sheep and goats.
But although poor. the Arab is al
ways picturesque. The European be

The Arab is poor without bein
abased. He is sordid without bein
mercenary. Even his raggedness has
= grandeur about it.
The chief item in the Arab costum
is a white cloak called the burnoui
which covers the whole figure.
T 1t has hood which protects the hea
from the sun.
= Beneath this there are all sorts {

Al the same moment, Randall seized his

A fit of trembling seized her. Linley
