nrmative, stealing occasional surrep.
tltlous glances at Betty, and then TAX
ing up one of the smoking brass lamps
she led the way toward the end of the
long hall. Here more steps, two flights
OF tnem, of time -harried stone, moss
grown in the corners, greeted them.
1here were more corridors and more
stairs In dizzying never ending Sc
quence, till them came upon a hall
longer, lighter and lower than the rest.
A hundred archways with tapestry
hanglngs opened upon this hallway
ana IN the center arch the slave girl
lowed low again and, pushing aside
the draperles, stood apart for them to
enter.
Inc room was furnished in skins,
IVORY ebony and gold. The couch of
EBONY had no springs, but to Betty 8
ldteF surprise the down cushions and
SKINS pied upon it made it the softest
yea she had ever rested upon. There
were stone stools, chairs Of oddly twist
ca troplc woods, and a great mirror of
EBONY ivory and gold, studded with
hundreds of precious stones. Swing
ing from the ceiling was an ornate
lamp of filigree and jewels. and this

GU will be glad to rest, T know"
said Tyoga. Meta there will bring
you a glass of warm milk. and then
you must rest. Rest the sweetest you
nave ever done, my lady. Tonight
snail not be with you; I have other
duties; but Meta will sleep here on a
pallet by your side. Good might. Be
unafra1d." She stopped low and kissed
Betty's hand, and Betty could have
sworn tear fell upon it.
Iyoga spoke truly. Meta brought
the milk as deliciously warm and fra
grant as if roses had been stepped
within its limptd depths. The cool
hnen garment the slave wrapped
around Betty rested her fevered skin,
and the pillows were magic wings that
bore her away to Forgetfulness Land.
Sleep came, just sleep, no dreams, and
the sun was topping the heavens when
blue-eyed Betty awakened. Tyoga
was not yet returned, but Meta, faith
full and silent, stood by the couch gem
tly waving a huge palm branch.
A modern Cleopatra; but where is
my Antony?" smiled Betty to herself,

nest. She stretched her feet luxuri-
ously back and forth under the silken
coverlids, then reused to full conscious
ness with start.
A sorry newspaper woman, l." she
scolded, mentally; here am I with a
whole live mystery between my thumb
and foref1nger and doing never a thing
to solve it! All, Betty, Betty!"
She rose hurriedly, in pantomime
beseeching Meta to hasten with her
garments. For the shoes Betty had
kicked off and left on the floor Of the
Directory Hotel the night of her ILL
fated visit to the Harcourt apartments
Tyoga had substituted a quaint pair
of high heeled slippers, as unlike Bet
tvs usual substantial footgear as a
rose is like a radish. And in place OF
her strictly tailored waist Betty was
now wearing soft draperies of vari-
colored silk. What had become of her
clothes she didn't know and Tyoga
had successfully resisted all Emporium
ing that might tell Betty the why and
wherefore Of her present incarnation.

Breaking the Fast In Ramaxan.

The Arabs say Ramadan; the Per
SLAMS and Turks say Ramazan. They
all observe throughout the month a
species Of fast that has no precise
counterpart in the west. So long as
the sun is in the sky food or drink of
any kind may not pass the true be-
levers lips. He is not even allowed
the sweet solace Of a cigarette. But
from the firing of the sunset guns I'M
til it is light enough to distinguish a
black hair from white he may feast
to surfeiting. Watchmen will patrol
the streets with drums to warn him
that his moments Of grace are num-
bered, and cannon once more announce
their end
Nothing is more characteristic of
late afternoons in Ramazan than the
preparations for the evening meal
which preoccupy all Mosems, partic-
ularly those who work with their
hands. AS the sun nears the horizon
fires are lighted, tables are spread,
bread is broken, water is poured out,
cigarettes are rolled, and hands are
lifted halfway to the mouth in expec-
tation of the signal that gives liberty
to eat This breaking of the daytime
fast Is called iftar and is an institu-
ton In itself To be invited to iftar
is a particular mark of friendship

Gamblers Are
Busy at Reno

Again reports are rife OF surrepti-
tious and nocturnal gambling in our
midst.
Rumors that subsidized for the
week or two preceding election are
again gaining force and there are
many who believe that a small bet
can be laid by the right party.
Of curse the police laugh at the
suggestion. There is no gambling
in Reno, say the authorities, and
there won't be any while the anti
gambling law is in force.
However, the fact remains that
certain wise ones are declaring that
they can always get play when they
have the inclination and the money,
and that the places are right in
the middle OF Reno too.
Poker is said to be the favorite
game, with a little faro on the side
and in one place a roulette wheel is
said to be in operation. However
the straight card games are said tc
be the favorites among those who
know.
1t is not known what percentage i

games, but it is certain that forme,
gamblers here are spending consid
cradle time at the bles.-Journal

Thousands of
Spawn are Taken

Fish Commissioner Mills is wear
ing a broad smile as the hatchery in
this city and at Verdi is being stock
ed with the finest lot Of spawn taken
in this state in years. The crew
that has been stripping fish at Mar
lette Lake have taken and delivered
to the hatchery 100000 eggs. Mr.,
Mills states that they are the finest
lot OF eggs that the Commission has
taken in many years, as the renewal
OF blood at Marlette is beginning to
show. He expects that the boys
will take about one million eggs be-
fore the cold weather shuts them
out Of the mountains. This season
has been highly favorable for this
culture. Ordinary seasons the water
is extremely cold and men are COM
PEELED to work in snow and ice. W
20 the storms OF a few days ago
there has been no bad weather to
interfere and the run OF Eastern
Brook Trout has surpassed expec,
%tations. Each female fish is fur.
nishing about $50. which is consider
ed a very high average.
The Eastern Brook Trout ha:
.been tried and proven i'll nearly ev'
cry stream in Nevada, and i'll every
instance the fish has proven the har
diest OF any placed in Nevada wa
tiers. The fact hat most of the
streams of this state are very low i,
the summer months and are too
warm for many varieties of fist
seems to make little difference witt
the Eastern Brook. They will b.
distributed over the entire state c
spring.
Aside from the brook trout spawn
that is being placed in the hatcher,
one hundred thousand salmon spawn
have been received and are now ii
the troughs. For the past two sea
sons salmon have been matched ant
distributed. In a number of instan
ces the fish have been caught an
prove to be a game fish and exceed
ed the anticipation in growth tina
vas anticipated by those who hav'
been following the experiment of in
Producing salmon i'll fresh waite
lakes and streams.
With the spawn OF the Trucket
trout that are to be taken and PLACED
in the hatchery that place will fur
nish the heaviest seasons work tina
has ever been attempted.
