CHAPTER XVI.
The Call Of the Queen.


Calnels on sunlit sand--and at a
respectable distance-are, think, al
ways decorative From an artistic
point OF view il Is always ad gisable to
keep them there-namely. on sand,
and at a distance, because nearness
to the workaday camel quite takes the
enchantment from the view OF him.
To begin with, he Is NANCY from his
hurricane deck TO his big splay feet,
and out OF every ten square inches
that ought TO be covered with hair,
he wears nine square inches bald.
He emits evil noises and an evil
smell He wears camel ticks about
his person which he shares with any
one who comes near him, and they
subsequently have TO be removed from
ones body by a minor surgical oper.

with his lips, not teeth-the effect Is
very much the same as having one >
fingers slammed into the hinge-side oil

He Is as ungrateful as q Greek, and
as treacherous as an Armenian. A
horse will not drink after him; sheep
avoid the pasture he has soiled; and
even q jackal will not eat him when
he is dead IL there Is any other car
rion within reach. Also he Is the only
possible beast OF burden for many
thousand square miles OF this imper'
feet earth's surface.
The camels tipped out from behind
a dune, with nodding heads and ride
ulous necks, and swung down to the
beach opposite the rusted Norman
Towers, and then held along the hard
sand northward. Some had riders.
some carried bales. and two wore
hood.shaped tits, bright with blue
and red draperies.

WATTERSON ENDS
TOUR OF CITIES
Editor Pleased with Rscep-
tion Accorded Him.
SPECIAL to The Washington Heald.

sFecisl to The Washington HsaId.
Chicago, Jan. 7.-Before brilliant audi
enCe, Col. Henry Watterson tonight
closed a tour OF speaking in behalf of
the arbitration treaties now pending in
the United States Senate. The tour Of
the famous Kentucky editor has in
Cluded the cities of New York, PhIladeI-
phia. st. Louis, Kansas City. Memphis,
New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta, Sa-
vannah, Charlotte, and Richmond.
In the South. Col. wattersons beloved
land, he has received a welcome which
makes him feel the keenest Joy. Such
hospitality. such general commendation,
and such close attention has warmed the
cookies Of the veterans heart. Bearing
the olive branch I'm a land where for
four years he carried a sword. speaking
Of peace to a people for whom he had
fought. has been one OF the most pleas
ant incidents of Col. Watterson's career
lie cannot speak too heartily Of the re-
CeptiOn which has been given him. hut
what most impresses his mind is the
interest which the people have taken in
the arbitration treaties. In Atlanta there
was an OutpOuTing Of 1000 persons to
greet the peace speaker. and the people
showed the greatest interest in his re-
marks
Nol- NdNltlSol mas Deeu Particularly
well pleased with the character OF the
people who have shown an interest in
the arbitration treaties. The best people
in each community, professional men and
business men, and particularly the wom-
en-, have been the most earnest advocates
and supporters of the arbitration treaties
and the cause OF peace. Col. Watterson
is convinced that the sentiment of the
people IS almost wholly for the ratifica-
tion Of the treaties. With almost no ex-
Ceptions, there was unanimous support
Of arbitration. and only general surprise
that any opposition should have developed
tersOn's opportunity for observation has
been the very best, and the enthusiasm
with which ne has been greeted has con-
WINGED him that the universal peace
movement has struck a responsive chord
in the minds of the people
Former Vice President Fairbanks was
one Of the speakers with Col watterson
tonight, and made an earnest appeal in
behalf of actual arbitration. Mr.. Fair
banks, when in the Senate, was chairman
Of the high joint commission. OF which
Sir Wilfrid Laurier was the leader in
behalf Of Canada, and these two paved
many veXed questions which had long
irrftated the people of both countries.
The former Vice President believed that
all questions can be as easily disposed
OF under the arbitration treaties as have
been the disputed questions between this
country and Canada.

cry" OF the, north pole.
Then the lights went up. and the doc
tor, standing in the center OF the stage
in evening dress. proceeded to huri his
ammunition at Rear Admiral Peary. He
declared a cache wherein supplies had
9een left was riied by the Peary expedi-
ton and the food carried away.
The doctor concluded by asking OF his
auditors a little American fair play"
He asked no money he said, nor any
hing but the honor of having been the
first TO discover the north pole.
When the lecture was over many Of
the auditors made a rush for the stage,
where they held an informal reception
TO the explorer. There were general hand
shakings and wishes of good luck. Then
the doctor climbed into a taxicab and
rode cheerfully TO Union Station, where
he departed for staunton. Va. TO deliver
