too, where somebody had begun To build a
bridge, and then apparently forgotten all about
going on with 1t; but luckily there were side
tracks made 10y other pioneers. by which. with

Thus we arrived before Il walled town with a
Moorish gateway. and. for all the changes
which had come OF gone since the days of those
who set 1t up. the place might have been under
spell Of enchantment. a kind of sleeping
sickness, for at least five hundred unnotice-

Real, Colonel O Donnel added that OF all gar
riSon towns It was the one which Young officers
hated worst.
And while the car paused for a discussion -
L. the way on, two dark youths by the roadside
interested themselves IN our situation. They
had red haDdkerChletS twisted round their
heads, and the smarter of the pair wore two
Soubrcros. one over the other,-a simple way
of carrying his Sunday hat on week days.

We must not 20 through the town, but turn TO

through these. We must not be dISheartened
II 1t appeared wild and rough We should be
able TO pass. and in the end would be glad that
We had availed ourselves of such advice.
Taking this for granted, | gave each of the
lads a peSeta, which they accepted more as
their just due than favor. To avoid the
town, 1t seemed that We must steer into chaos,
void and tormleSS; but there were only few
hundred yards of desert. Beyond We found
ourselves in a good road, which led TO the
white village We had been told 10 expect; and
there, as We were already primed with infOrma-
ton. wasted no time IN asking questions.
Instead. plunged into open country, with
vista of olive trees in the gray green distance.

To achieve that purpose the I. &. =.

~ dollars, owns and occupies three
large buildings, covering seven acres of
floor space, and employs 200 trained
people, all of whom have one object in
view - to make it easy for you and all
poorly paid men to earn more. Truly
then-the business Of this place is 10 raise
salaries.
Every month an average of 300 1. C.S.
students UOiuntdTiiy report increased
salaries. During the last twelve months
nearly 1000 students SO reported. These
students live in every section. Right in
thelr own homes, at their present work,
the Il. L. =. goes TO them, trains them to
advance IN their chosen line, or to profit

patton.
The same opportunity now knocks
