like a gentleman, mocks at virtue, love,
goodness, teh family tie-which, incl

I am told that the book has been

Camel Races.

Camel races are held regularly In the
south Of Algeria, where valuable prizes
are offered for the encouragement OF
the breed OF racers, and as much inter-
est Is taken in their preparation and
performance as in that Of race horses
In this country. The racing camels are
the result Of very careful breeding
through many generations, and in size,
temper and appearance they are so
different from the ordinary beast of
burden that they might almost be con.
sidered a different race Of animals,
Perhaps the most conspicuous char.
acteristic Of the ordinary camel is its
extreme slowness. Nothing on earth
will ever induce 1t to hurry. A twenty
dollar note will buy very fair speci-
men, but for a mehari, or racing camel,
Ave or ten times that sum Is required
to effect purchase.
The racer. however, can be depended
on for nine or ten miles an hour
Kept up for sixteen or seventeen hours
almost without a stop. The pace In
camel race Is generally fast and furi.
Ous at the beginning. when all the AMI.
mails are together and seem to realize
that contest Is In progress.

The Famous HasiIisk.

According to the ancient writer's, the
basilisk-sometlmes called cockatrice-
was a monster to be greatly dreaded.
Its breath filled the air with a deadly
poison and burned up vegetation, and
the glance OF its eye was fatal to both
nan and beast. The only creature that
could face It and live. they said, was
the cock, and travellers were advised to
take loud Growing cocks with them as
protection against the monster. So
much for superstition. AS a matter of
fact the basillsk is a harmless lizard,
living a quiet life In the woods and
Ieedlng on insects. It's appearance,
however, is formidable, and 1t Is this
perhaps that gave 1t bad name. 1t
grows ~ u length or from twenty-five
10 thirty inches, including its tail,
which Is much longer than its body.
Rising from its head and inclining
backward is a broad. winglike expan-
sion, which gives 1t some resemblance
70 the flying lizard. The crest of this
expansion Is formed somewhat like a
crown, and that gave the basilisk It's
name, which is from the Greek word
meaning king"

Pengreave, coming slowly down the
street. gave no heed to his surround
ings. For twenty years he had been
coming down the same street, some
times a little earlier, sometimes very
much later. but always he passed
along with unseeing eyes, his thoughts
fixed upon his business and his home.
At fifteen he had first turned into the
side street from the main thorough
fare. Horse cars had run unevenly
over the badly set rails, and pickering
gas lamps had lighted all save the
business streets Now there were troll.

Pengreave was puzzled.

Then the physician hustled In, and

tapping at the door. and he opened it
to discover the girl.

forgot the hurt of her burn"
Pengreave smiled. He could not re-
call ever having been thanked before.
He had never done anything to call for
thanks because he did not know how.
"You must come again when you
need help" he said warmly. II am

she said. There Is much good that
you can do. We are so handicapped
by lack Of money, and there Is so

see for yourself the misery about you.
Coed night"
She hurried down the hall, and Pen
greave waited until the street door
closed behind her before he shut bis
own.
He went back into the room, his head
In a whirl. Dimly he was conscious
that the street was not the same as 1t
had been in his boyhood. The girl
must be right. He was willing to see
with her eyes, those eyes Of the glori-
Gus blue.
Those eyes gave him much to think
about. He was not yet forty, and
more than half of his years had been
given to the unwavering pursuit OF
business. True, there had been Lena,
but now Pengreave knew how little
Lena had really meant to him.
For the first time that he could re-
member he had met a woman of his
own kind, and he felt the need OF
knowing more OF the life be had miss
ed. He remembered that he was still
comparatively young man, and those
blue eyes had loosened something
within his breast-his repressed boy
hood, his unrealized need Of the soci-
ETY. Of his fellows.
He was as one born again and, being
born, saw the world in new light.
Methodically he removed the picture
of Lena from It's tawdry frame and
tossed it upon the Goals glowing in the
open fire. He was rather well pleased
with the reflection In the mirror above
the mantel as he stood there.
IT must get some new clothes to-
morrow" he said to the reflection;
"also must find place where it is
we'll to live, house such as she will
like. 1, too, need a helping hand"
And the reflection in the mirror smiled
back at him. Now that Pengreave was
awakened he knew 1t was we'll The
rest would follow In due course.
