Grass rugs. which havesbeen for some

The one objection to the rug in the
past has been that the grass was rather

good distance during the night, for
we suddenly found ourselves on the
edge of the desert. an immense desert
or sand, stones and rocks. 1t was
really not worth while leaving the
forest to come upon the desert. Tired
out. l flung myself down beside the
viscount. for | had had enough OF
looking for springs which could not
find.
was quite surprised-and l said so
to the viscount-that We had encoun-
tered no other dangerous animals
during the night. Usually. after the
lion came the leopard and sometimes
the buzz OF the tsetse fly. These were
easily obtained effects; and ! ex-
planned TO M. de Chagny that Erik
initiated the roar of lion on a long
tabour or timbrel, with an ass's skin
at one end. Over this skin he tied a
string of catgut. which was fastened
at the middle to another similar
string passing through the whole
length OF the tabour. Erik had only
TO rub this string with glove
smeared with resin and, according to
the manner in which he rubbed 1t. he
Initiated to perfection the voice OF
the lion or the leopard. or even the
buzzing OF the tsetse fly.
The idea that Erik was probably In
the room beside us. working his trick,
made me suddenly resolve to enter
into a parley with him, for we must
obviously give up all thought OF TAX
Ing him by surprise. And by this
time he must be quite aware who
were the occupants of his torture
chamber. called him: Erik! Erik
l shouted as loudly as could across
the desert. but there was no answ er
to my voice. All around us lay the
silence and the bare immensity OF
that stony desert. What was to be-
solitude?
We were beginning literally to die
of heat, hunger and thirst OF
thirst especially. At last, / saw M.
de Chagny raise himself on his elbow
and point to a spot on the horizon

did my utmost to keep my head and
not to hope for water, because | knew
that If man hoped for water. the
water that reflected the iron tree
and II, after hoping for water, he
struck against the mirror, then there
was only one thing for him to do: to
hang himself on the iron tree!
So l cried to NJ. de Chagny:
IT'S the mirage! It's the
mirage! Don't believe in the
water! It's another trick OF
the mirrors! :"
Then he fatty told me to shut up
with my tricks OF the mirrors, my
springs. my revolving doors and my
palaces OF illusions! he angrily de
clared that l must be either blind OIL
mad to imagine that all that watel
flowing over there. among those
splendid. numberless trees, was no
