discovered that the tribesmen were far different
than any he had encountered on his journey
from Tangier. He also observed something else;
that wherever they went they regarded with
hostility. At one village beside small stream

camels. He riding abreast the Kaid at the time

to express himself with more facility. The American
caught his meaning.

The scar faced man with salute turned away
in the direction of the village. Dick, tired by the
early hour of rising and unaccustOmed to exercise

that he had slept nearly all the afternoon The
kaid and Sdi Suleyman were standing close by
him talking in low tone. He Joined them.
We'll, Captain" the kaid said, I'VE didn't start
this expedition a minute too soon. There's a

declaration will come before this fellow takes to

which this whole stew has been quietly worked up,
that declaration will be followed by with no
delay whatever. This fellow is bad man."
Who is he?"
That is the mysterious part of 1t. All that Sidi

KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautified, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfguring rashes. feelings,
irritations and chafings dispelled.

THANK you" he said, in a low
voice.
Margaret smiled and passed her
hand over her eyes quickly, as if to
dispel a vision she had seen. Then
she spoke.
do you really not know what that
music is?" she asked. Really,
really?"
ooh, quite honestly l don't!"
You're not joking? You're not
laughing at me?"
"I?" He could not understand. 81
shouldn't dare!" he said.
You've been whistling some of
"Parsifal," some of the most beauti.
full music that ever was written-and
you whistle mavellously, for it's any
thing but easy! Where in the world
did you learn it? Don't tell me that
those are old tunes you picked up
on a California ranch!"
IT'S true, all the same" Van Torp
| answered.
He told her of the two foreigners
who used to whistle together in the
| evenings, and how one was supposed
to have been shot and the other had
disappeared, no one had known width
er, nor had cared.
"All sorts of young fellows used to
drift out there" he said, land one
couldn't tell where they came from,
| though l can give a guess at where
some of them must have been, since
| I've seen the world. There were
younger sons of English gentlemen,
fellows whose fathers were genuine
lords, maybe, who had not brains
enough to get into the army or the
church. There were cashiered Prus-
sian officers, and Frenchmen who had
most likely killed women out of jeal-
ousy, and Sicilian bandits, and brok.
en- society men from New York. There
were all sorts. And there was me.
And we all spoke different kinds of
English and had different kinds of
tastes, good and bad-mostly bad.
There was only one thing we could
all do alike, and that was to ride"
81 never thought of you as riding,
Margaret said.

IT'S intensely interesting-what a

"Old tunes l picked up when l was

Mr.. Van Torp. Il don't know where
they came from, for l never asked,

certain, and I like them. They re-

Margaret, who was bored to the
verge of collapse on the off-days
thought him much nicer than he had
formerly been, and she liked his per
feet simplicity.
Stand anywhere you like" she
said, "but let me hear the tune"
Van Torp rose and went to the
window and she looked quietly at his
square figure and his massive, sandy
head and his strong neck. Presently
he began to whistle, very softly and
perfectly in tune. Many a street-boy
could do as well, no doubt, and Mrs
Rushmore would have called it vul
gar accomplishment, but the mag
nificent prima donna was too true q
musician, as well as a singer, not tC
take pleasure in a sweet sound, even
il it were produced by a street-boy.
But as Mr.. Van Torp went on, she
opened her eyes very wide and held
her breath. There was no mistake
about it; he was whistling long pieces
from "Parsifal," as far as it was pos
sible to convey an idea of such music
by such means. Margaret had studied
1t before coming to Bayreuth, in or
der to understand it better; she hat
now already heard it once, and hat
felt the greatest musical emotion 81
her life-one that had stirred Other
emotions, too, strange ones quite
new to her.

How often do you eat this foOd7

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection of
the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list Of foods recommended; but If the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS a matter Of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best In clean
illness and purity, Of all oatmeals.
Americans should eat more Quaker
Oats; the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions Of
health and strength. 55
