THE STORY.

A FTER the ocean tempest come the
n subdued winds and the subsiding
waves. the heavens stretch blue and
beautiful from horizon TO horizan. and
the golden sunshine fills all the balmy
air. But along the rock-bound shore
the wreckage lies in mad confusion a
sad reminder of the storm OF the night
before. There in mute protest to
Natures friendly mood are the torn
and shattered timbers of the noble
ship which has gone down into the mer-
ciless NAV OF the mighty waters.
There strewn along the beach is the
watersoaked cargo. and from beneath
the confusion of piled wreckage ap-
pears the hand. the foot, the battered
head of some hapless victim. Nature so
peaceful and reassuring. and yet bring
ing but poor comfort to the heart
which contemplates the ruin before

So was II in Israel The storm of
battle has passed: the clash OF arms
Is stilled. the thunder of rushing war
chariots and the mad cries OF multi.

have not fallen in battle have scatter

army OF the Philistines laden with
plunder has returned home again.
The sky is blue as before. the sun

with perfume from the Towering fields

foreboding. oh. the agony OF those
days, weeping for the lost and fearing
for the living. With blanched cheeks
and trembling lips the people talked

their bodies. of their hanging from

There are few places in the world
so difficult to get at as Kashgaria
Though IL lies in Chinese territory the
journey from Pekin occupies no less
than six months. From India cara
vans take two months. having to cross
meanwhile the three highest mountain
ranges in the world by way OF several
passes measuring $4,000 feet above
sea level.
Then from the tailend OF the Rus.
sian railway system in Central Asia
one may reach Kashgar in three
weeks by several routes. all involving
the transit of difficult and storm
swept passes.
Kashgaria is said to cover an area
of 100000 square miles-a statement
that has little interest until consid-
cred in relation TO the proportion
which is cultivated by man. II is
startling to relate that human en-.
deavor has been capable of rendering
fertile little more than a hundredth
part and that ninety nine hundredths
OF II is irredeemable desert.

sell tempting raisin cake and other

these novel little affairs have been
