dug a channel by which 1t ran down d.

up the entrance with stones and earth,
believing that one mans strength could
never suffice to break through, and
they had gone away. They had prob

She ate some of the dates from the
dead mans wallet, and bit of the

water, and that was satisfied. But

en- without water, and it did not occur
to him that Baraka might be hungry.
Perhaps, even if he had known that
she was, he would not have given her
of what he had; he would have kept
It for himself. What was the life of a
Wild hill-girl compared with his? But
the vulture was watching him, as we'll
as Baraka, and would not move from
3ts pinnacle till the end, though days
might pass.
Baraka was not thirsty yet, because
she had drunk her fill in the morn
ing, and was not used to drink often;
it was enough that she could look at
the man she loved, for the end would
come soon enough without thinking
about it. All day long the traveller
crouched in the hollow of the ruby
cave, and Baraka watched him from
her place; when 1t grew dark the vul-
ture on the pinnacle of rock thrust its
ugly head under its wing. AS soon as
Baraka could not see any more she
curled herself up on the white sand
like a little wild animal and went to
sleep. though she was thirtsy.
It was dawn when she awoke, and
her linen garment was damp with the
dew, SO that the touch of it refreshed
her. The traveller had come out and
was lying prone on the sand, his face
buried against his arm, as soldiers
sleep in bivouac. She could not tell
whether he was asleep or not, but she
knew that he could not see her, and
she cautiously sucked the dew from
her garment, drawing it up to her
mouth and squeezing 1t between her
lips.
1t was little enough refreshment,
butlit was something. and she was not
afraid, which made difference. Just
as she had drawn the edge of her shift
down and round her ankles again. the
man turned on his side suddenly, and
then rose to his feet. For an instant
he glared at her, and she saw that
his blue eyes were bloodshot and
burning; then he picked up the heavy
camel bag. and began to make his
way round what had been the beach of
the pool. towards the passage through
which they had entered. and which
was now dry cave. wide below, mar
row at the top. and between six OF
seven feet high. He. trod carefully
and tried his way. for he feared the
quicksand. but he knew that there
was none in the passage. since he had
walked through the water. and had
felt the way hard under his feet. In
. few moments he disappeared under
the rock.
Baraka knew what he meant to do;
no was going to. try to dig through the
4 dam at the entrance to let the water
In, even II he could. not get out; but
she did not move, Tor in that narrow
place and in the dark she could not
Z have helped him. She sat and waited.
By and by he would come out, drenched
with sweat and yet parching with
thirst and he would glare at her hor-
ribly again; perhaps he would be mad
when he came out and would kill her
because she had brought him there.
After some time she heard very
faint sound overhead, and when she
looked up. the yulture was gone from

ENTHUSIASM IN cULPEPER
Speakers at Farmers Reunion All For
Good Roads.

An enthusiastic good roads meeting
was held Thursday in connection with
the annual reunion of the farmers of
Culpeper county near Culpeper.
Every farmer at the reunion was in
favor of building a highway through
the country that would be link in the
great highway, to be built between
Washington and Richmond.
Addresses advocating the building of
roads were made by some of the infiu-
entail farmers. 1t was said by speak
ers that but for the papers the roads
would have continued TO be built by
convict labor, whereas many roads are
now being constructed by contract, and
counties are issuing bonds to continue
the work.
A dinner was served at midday.
Prof. W. ID. Saunders, State food and
health commissioner, made an address.
This was followed by the addresses on
good roads. II is probable that the
county will vote on a bond issue late in
the fall or early in the spring.

siastic.
An election for a bond issue for good

ordered for November 2. We expect to
put up an active campaign in behalf of
the bond issue in the county, and think
your literature would be great help to
US IN educating the people
We are thinking of having a big bar
0ecue IN the county and getting a num-
Der of speakers to be present on that
occasion. and would like very much to
have you with us at that time, which
would be some time about the middle
of September.
We are also string up the matter in
Caroline and Stafford counties, and hope
TO get an election ordered for those two
counties shortly.
Thanking you in advance for such
help and information as you may give
