pie of the East.

In the far east, when men converse
together, an evasion is equal to an
answer Riding down to Egypt over
the old caravan route from Jerusalem
to Cairo, Norman Duncan and a party
pitched their tents outside a Bedouin
village and by so doing offended
against the laws OF hospitality which
the people so religiously maintain.
Mr.. Duncan, writing in Harper's Mag
azine, says that he was Obliged to turn
aside their reproaches-and avoid the
abominable quarters which were still
being offered. Turning to his guide,
he said: "The man must be diverted,
Ask him II the world is round or
fiat" The reply was pure phlloso-
piers jewel of the east. 'If the world
is fat" came the response, after
heavy bordering. II am content; If II
Is round. 1t is by Gods wisoom." And
the men softly applauded. in their
pleasure forgetting their injury, for
getting everything except the joyous
native craft of words.

envelope, this letter which had caused
this momentary perturbation. Call

him in the smoking-room off the con-

The valet flew out of the door, while
the duke began pacing up and down
the room, muttering and growing, and
