The Pullman company turns out be-

forced TO haul these cars over nearly 200
90 miles of track and pay big rentals

amount to about $500 a year. The road
that does not carry a Pullman is severely
handicapped. The company pays per
cent on a capital of 100000. For nearly
forty years the roads have been in abject
slavery of the Chicago concern. All rivals
have been swallowed up. Patents have
been annulled. competition has been sup

We were four hours going through this
little trough OF water. And all that time
there was nothing to see but tho cold, dim
desert and the empty. low-hangng moon.
Toward the end we sighted a watchhre-
small and lonely in the desert There was
an Arab near II, wrapped and hidden in
long trailing cloak He sat with his
chin on his knees and looked our way.
Two camels hunched beside him. slowly
chewing. They swayed their long necks
to stare at the lights. Mournful. solitary
looking beasts they were. They crouched
on the desert with their knees folded under
them, and we passed near enough to see
them nap their scrubby little tails. But
the man never moved. We watched him
till he slipped out OF sight.
II grew colder and the loneliness un-
bearable. But you could not even think
Of sound. There was nothing but the
night and the desert, and they bound you
and would not let you stir.

came another light, powerful and yellow,
but poking and peering in a helpless way
like something lost Then both lights van

There were mountains family Jagged

pale and dim behind them. While still she
