When she could speak she called
him a hero and said he had saved her
life and won her eternal gratitude.
She was the distressed damsel and
he the hero-the chevalier. There
could be no two ways about that. He
was invited to call at the hotel and
receive further thanks, and the drip
ping damsel took her departure.
Silas Carter called. He was braced
up by the heroic deed he had done,
and he felt very important when he
found himself In the presence OF a
young lady wearing diamonds and
fine clothes. and almost smiling at
the fresh grease on his boots. He
didn't know exactly what to do with
his hat, hands and feet, but he slowed
them away somewhere and modestly
said that he stood ready to rescue a
damsel every day in the week.
He was thanked and thanked, and
the damsel said she could never for

give him her address in the city and
say that she would be pleased to hear

A correspondent from India writes that the
British gunboats in the Persian gulf have been
very active in suppressing the traffic in rifles and
ammunition. The arms were being landed on the
Makran coast and thence were carried by cara
vans for sale to the tribesmen the northwest
ern frontier Of India, to be used against the Brit
sh troops when the next trouble comes The
navy men are reported to have been very sue
cesstul, and made several good haus of rifles and
ammunition To reduce still further the gun-run-
ners' chances of profit, four companies of the
Fourteenth Sikhs were sent from Ouetta to inter-
cept caravans in the neighborhood of Robat One
Of our illustrations depicts the entraining of some
of the transport camels at Jacobabad in Sind en-
route to Nushd, whence the column marched to
Robat
As rule, when camels are entrained they are
loaded on open trucks, but on this occasion It was
thought advisable TO make use of closed cars
The "oouts" strongly objected to being loaded but
with rope behind the hooks and steady per
suasve strain on the nose rope they were event
ualy hauled pushed in. Once in the car the
cameis were made to kneel down in the sand
which had been spread the floor. their knees
were then tied so that it impossible for them
to straighten out their forelegs.
The cars were each loaded with six camels,
three in each end. facing inward, The space in
the middle was utilized for saddles and fodder for
the Journey. Two camelmen also travelled in each
car 1t may be remarked that Brahuis differ from
most people in that they do not notice that the
camel has a particularly offensive odor. The
camels dubbed and protested while being load
ed but they soon settled down and began to eat
the fodder provided for them 1t took Ave hours
to load the first train of 100 camels. Only one
came' that had unusually large hump could
not be pushed through the door, and he was
trussed like a chicken and carried bodily In by

the seventeenth century when the Arabs of the
interior secured possession of it. The imams or
sultans of Muscat afterwards made extensive con-
quests in eastern Africa including Zanzibar, Nom

power and commercial prosperity in the first half
of the nineteenth century, when the authority Of
the imams or sultans extended over the Persian
territories of Larstan and Mogistan, the islands of
Bender Abbas part of the coast of Bauchistan, and
the long strip of African coastand including Fan
ztbar, Mombasa and Quiloa, together with the
island of Socotra. The present ruling family origi
mated in Yemen and was first established in the
imamate in the person of Ahmed ibn Said in 1741.
The rise of the Wahabi power in Nedjed resulted
in considerable loss of territory In 1856, on the
death of Sultan Said his possessions were divided
between his two sons, receiving the African

At present the efforts of the British navy are
handicapped by the fact that the photographed
conditions of Muscat indeed of the whole lit
toral of the gulf do not allow preventive ships
to go very close the coast 1t is this fact which
enables the gunrunntng dhows to escape the Vigt

Silas Carriers Romance
Copyright. 1910. by Associated Literary Press
By Carl Jenkins

There was nothing wrong about
Silas Carter. He was a strapping
young man who worked In a sawmill
and ate three square meals a day.
When evening came he sat down to
store his mind with knowledge. He
couldn't borrow Shakespeare or
American history and, in consequence
he borrowed romances. They were
not eactly dime novels. They related
mostly to knights and chevaliers and
rescues Of distressed damsels.
After reading for two or three
years Silas got the idea that he was
q chevalier, and that the distressed
damsel would sooner or later heave
into view. He didn't say anything
about 1t. 1t might be that he wasn't
chevalier, and it might be chat the
distressed damsel would be detained
on the road.
One night when he was calling on
Miss Eunice Bebee, the daughter of
a villager. he casually observed:
"Eunice, love you and want you
to be my wife"
Il WILL she replied.
Eunice had known Silas for a long
time, and had come to realize that
she loved him, and why shouldn't she
have answered that way? Why blush
and stick finger in her mouth and
reply that she would see her father
about it? She did just as a plain,
sensible girl always does under the
circumstances-she waited for Silas
to say more.
He began and ended right there.
If the distressed damsel appeared he
would tell Eunice that he had
changed his mind; If she didn't then
they would get married some day
Eunice continued to be a good, plain
girl, and Silas kept his eyes open
for what was coming.
It came one July day. A young
lady from the city, stopping at a sum
mer hotel in the village, came down
to the mill pond to fish. Silas was
in the mill yard, wrestling the saw

words sufficient to express my enjoy

to help those that are not as fortu-

we must deny ourselves, if we follow
Him. When He came to this world,
He went to the poor and not the
rich, for they were willing to receive
Him and believe what He taught, but
the rich were not, for they scOrned
