The helplessness that a man feels
when he is lost is one Of the most
terrible parts Of his experience. Per-
haps this is at its worst whenS it is NOT
he but the guide who is atfault. The
late Mr.. G. w. Stevens, the war CORE
spondent, says Youths Companion,
relates a terrible experienced his own
in the Egyptian desert.
"We had been ~journeying ali day,
hoping to reach the monastery at
night. | began to feel sleepy and to
droop in the back. l swung my leg
over the pommel, and settled myself
to ride astraddle. Then | decided to
sit sidesaddle on the off side for an
hour, then change and ease the strain
again. So | rode, looking steadily at
the great yellow blotch ahead Of me.
"But now the sun was dipping
down again under our hat brims. 1t
was past four. 1t would be dark at

our monastery then, we we're help

guide raced up each new eminence,
the strained h~opefulness Of his stare,

the slow disappointment you could
read in the relaxed limbs, the fresh
hope renewed, but each time fainter,
with which he dashed for the next
prospect-he was at fault, To my eye
one ridge, one dip, one hill was ex-
actly like every other. We had been
riding ten hours and must have come
so miles; our monastery was only As.
We had missed it and it was all but
dark.
"a night in the cutting wind ofthe
desert, a night without tent, water,
fire or fodder was the very best We had
to look forward to. The worst-but
