him in a way not to be resisted, and he
stepped out on the little balcony which
ran beneath the window; then he
caught the odor of a cigarette, and
turned to see Tremaine smiling at him.
Good morning. cried Tremaine "A

Nearly four years.
The merest flicker of amusement
flashed across Tremaines lips and they
finished their cigarettes in silence.
They went down together to breakfast
presently, but only Delroy joined them
there and it was not an especially
pleasant meal, despite the bright sun

of voices reached him, and leaning

The Arab War Chant.

Captain Won Herbert describes how
the sacred chant was sung by OsmaD
Pasha's force in that last dreadful sor-
tie from Pleyna. He knows, for, as he
says, "as youngster Of seventeen, be-
ing then in the Turkish service, took
part in the charge" 1t is solemn
four part chant for deep male voices,
with intervals, the melody recurring
again and again, of alternating har-
monies hummed almost pianissimo, to
the words Gala Akbar," and then
again rising .'to great outburst on the
fifth note" There is more than sug-
gestion of plain song, that song which
drifted westward from the east.-Pall

north Of Danbury. were startled the
other day by the appearance Of a
strange. object in the air. which many
thought was an airship. says the New

be any persons aboard. and no one OBJ
served anything like a basket or car
suspended from it. The object first at
tracted attention. as reported by mem
bers Of the family Of Mrs. o. d. Tay-

quite plainly.
