the man bill that made his eyes shine.
With her knees shaking, but outwardly calm,
Mrs. Carpenter rang the bell Even the excel

the surprise he felt as he opened the door.
'1s Colonel Carpenter in, Johnson?" asked the
woman hurriedly.
Eyes, Mrs. Carpenter, he's in the library
maam," replied johnson.
VERY well. You need not tell him I am here
shall go right in," and trembling like timid
bride, Mrs. Carpenter walked softly into the
room, the thick carpet deadening her footballs.
In big arm chair sat the Colonel, his profile
toward her. His wife saw at glance and with
pang of regret that he had aged years in the
twelve months that had passed since she had
last him. His hair was very grey and his
face was deeply lined. He seemed almost like
an old man, and great wave of pity swept over
the woman.
Colonel Carpenters chair was directly in front
of full length portrait to which cunningham
ranged lights gave an air almost human. At ons
sue were cuTtHlnS JnaC cOulu De drawn across
the picture if need be. Mrs. Carpenter saw,
with Joy that made her face radiant, that the
portrait was one of herself and as she had never
sat for one she knew her husband must have
had it made from photograph.
A sigh from the figure in the arm chair made
the woman in the doorway stink behind the cur.

own door, is your own dear self"
Mrs. Carpenter was clinging convulsivey to
the curtains, the tears running down her face.
Not very far Jim," she said softly, with lit
tie catch in her voice as if she wanted to laugh
and could not.
The Colonel lesped from his chair as though
shot from it. Turning, he saw the woman in the
doorway. exit! he shouted, in voice that pen
etrated to the rear of the house where johnson
was telling Mrs. Watson, the housekeeper, of
Mrs. Carpenters arrival. In a bound the Colo

the bear-like embrace she had hungered for so
long.

others and even from that little group of coy
males whose friends speak Of them as mot mar
rying men" some few danced attendance on my
lady. Not so very unnaturally it was one Of
these whose carried off the prize.
Colonel Carpenter was man about twenty
years the girls senior. man of the people. he
had acquired his polish later in life than usual
and the veneer was thin but il one did see un.
derneath it was real man one saw. Stalwart
OF frame and strong of will, with deep.set eyes
and terrifying bass voice, the Coonels impos.
ing exterior concealed the warmest of hearts and
the most ready sympathy.
Not until he met Miss Howison had Colonel
Carpenter desired wife, and as he had acquired
pretty nearly everything else he wanted by the
simple process of overriding opposition, the idea
Of failure in this new field, untred though IL
was, never occurred to hm-which after all, is
half the battle. So in the whirlwind fashion in
which he had wrested fortune. from the stock
market the Colonel, a Juggernaut of love, strobe
over his rivals and married Katherine almost be-
fore society had accepted him in the role Of
suitor.
Nor was this marriage with the complete con.
sent of the girls parents With a pride Of birth
that was to them fetch, Mr. and Mrs Howl
son endeavored in every way to break off the
match. The Howisons had no need Of the Colo
nels millions and neither, added the stately
Mrs. Howison, with curling upper lip would
some of that gentlemsn's past exploits reflect
much credit on the family. Like all wealthy
bachelors, Colonel Carpenter had been made the
hero of various tales of questionable galantres
But katherine was immovabe. The flames
of the Colonel's passion had melted her reserve
and she was as deeply in love as the most ard
ent of maids. So, with great ecat the wedding
was solemnized, and even Mr. and Mrs. Howl
son were forced to admit that it was a happy
union.
Then, one day about a year ago. the break
came. Mrs. Carpenter received in her mail that
morning copy of publication that waxed fat
on the indiscretions of prominent men and wo
men. With "a curiosity that was mingled with
disgust for she loathed scandal, the woman
turned the pages until a marked paragraph
caught her eye. She read the paragraph and as
she slowly laid the paper down it seemed as
though the whole world had suddenly grown
dark and there was an ache at her heart that
was a positive physical pain.

win the paper in her hand Mrs. Carpenter
went TO her husband in the library and quietly
handed 1t to him. His jaw fell as he saw what
u was and for the moment his look of distress
toucned her, but the Howison pride was aroused
and her sympathy was only momentary.
Colonel Carpenter made no attempt to deny
the truth of the story. He admitted that the
incidents described had taken place and said he
had meant to make clean breast Of it TO her,
out had lost his courage. The woman, he said,
was the daughter of man who had once stood
between him and financial ruin and he had Civ

not. am sorry, for believe me, wish could
overlook this thing, but it would be impossible
for me to live with you now We had better
separate"
The Colonel knew his wife too we'll to argue
The next day she went to her mother, who was
still living and he remained alone in their old
home. Society, which had read the story knew
what the trouble was, but for once society was
kind and little was said to either Colonel Car
penter or his wife to open the wound.
Often the woman had reproached herself with
being too hard and had wished she could bring
herself to the point of rejoining her husband, but
she could not. As she mused this night on the
bitter year that had passed the cab came to a
stop and the cabby sprang down and opened the
door.
Mrs. Carpenter, her head down to keep the
rain from binding her, tripped up the steps of
the handsome residence in front of her and en-
tered the open vestibule, the cabby following to
receive his money. The first object that caught
the @oman's eye was huge vase standing near
the inner glass doors. With a shock she realized
that that vase was familiar to her and as she
peered through the doors she gave gasp of dis
may. The richly-furnished hall, she saw beyond
was the hall of her husbands home.
ooh! Why did you bring me here!" she
cried to the cabman, who stood patiently, hat
in hand.
The man stammered in surprise. "Wh-Why
Mrs. Carpenter, thought you wanted to come
home" he said. Doesn't Colonel Carpenter live
here any more? I've been out of town for a
year"
Suddenly Mrs. Carpenter seized with

is never stilIed in Ell Azhar day and night,
month after month, and year after year.
Study and prayer! This is the combined OBJ
ject of the student Of the University of Cairo,
these the lodestones that draw this concourse so
fascinating to both the psychologist and to the
lover of. the picturesque. They spread them
selves out like some brilliant eastern carpet
the dusty sunshine of the central court, and
over the cool interiors of the pillared Liwans.
Natives of Bagdad and of Siam, Berbers from
the Fourth Cataract and Africans from the
Somal coast, each in his peculiar and distinctive
costume There are Syrians in baggy trousers
and braided jackets, and swarthy Bedouins in
flowing garments of foot wide striped choco-
late and white material. The latter wear head
dresses of the stuffs bound about the
brow with filet of camel's hair. Here is clus-
ter of coa-blacl1 Nubians in flaming red and
yellow robes, there knot of Egyptians in dull
blue and brown. Some wear scarlet fezes, but
the turban is the most common and distinctive
article of Moslem dress. They vie with the
rainbow in multitudinous colorings, and yet the
one who knows can read in each the religious
standing of it's wearer. The wide evenly folded
turban of light color denotes the clergy, or Ula-
ma, while green is the color of the descendants
of the Prophet.
Religious standing! El Islam recognizes no
other distinction of caste. Therefore the stu.
dents of Gamia el-Azhar are the mosa demo.
cratic in the world. Here is a stately Arab in
a robe of finely woven cames hair BY his side
sits an Egyptian of the lowest class in greasy
cottons. Rich and poor alike carry each his
sleeps skin, his seat by day and his blanket by
night.
Nor does age afford any distinction. El-Azhar
has neither age limit nor entrance examinations.

youth of twenty and the patriarch of seventy.

to melt away into the gloom.
AS the train drew near the big terminal the
porter reused to action for the first time in an
hour, swooped in upon the passengers with his
wisk and collected upwards of dollar in small
change Then, radiatng energy from every

Slowly the long line Of cars wound its sinuous
way into the shed and with a slight jolt came
to stop. Mrs. Carpenter rose weariy and
alighted. On the opposite track suburban train

she heard the merry chatter of the couples and
watched the solcitude with which the men es.

ened her steps to get away. She was seized with

man obligingly held open for her, and as she
disappeared within she called an address to the
cabman, wondering at the time il he heard it,
but as he whipped up his horse as soon as the
door was closed she concluded that he had.
For the first time since that morning, when
she had boarded the train at another city, the
woman was able to think quietly. The presence
of the other passengers in her car had annoyed
her and if the compartment had not been taken
she would have engaged it herself It had
angered her the more to think that she could
be easily disturbed; she whom her friends
jokingly called the Frozen Lady" Was it a
sign that her nerves were becoming unruy?
Here, in the stuffy little cab, with its odor
of leather and cheap upholstery enhanced by
the dampness, Mrs. Carpenters thoughts ran

Asia Minor, with mosque marking the place
of every Moslem town. And piled up from the
floor many copies of the Koran, some com

torn, and not to be redeemed by few finer
copies kept under glass. These, and some com
mentators the Koran. and certain histories
are the only books in the library of the Uni
versity of Cairo. Evidently the librarian holds
much to the same view of that old Calph Omar,
who, in GAO ordered the destruction of the price
less Aexandrian library. John the Grammarian,
the famous peripatetic philosopher, tried to
save it. But Omar answered:
f'If the books contain the doctrine of the Ko-
ran, they are useless the Koran contains all
necessary truths. And if they contain anything
contrary to that truth, they ought to be de-
stroyed."
This first feeling of disappointment gives way
to delight as we pass from the gloom of the
entrance gateway into the great central court
which is open to the sky-to the blue sky and
the brilliant sunshine of tropical Egypt. On all
sides runs a colonnade of the most delicate
white pillars. Between their graceful shafts we
have glimpses of the Liwans beyond, the courts
of a mosque turned University If we enter
