MEAT Of PALESTINE
Consul at Jerusalem Tells OF

Supply Of Mutton and Goat Not More
Than Half Sufficient for Market
Cattle Very Small and Flesh
10 Poor.

quality Of our meat, would be badly of
indeed IL they had to live in Palestine
and eat the inferior meat served there.
The following regarding domestic an
imals of the various kinds, by Consul
Thomas R. Wallace Of Jerusalem, will
be read with interest. especially by
~yaisers Of fine market live stock.

in the Jerusalem district is $4,000;
sheep, 1926; goats, 228, 1900. Cattle.

flesh is not more than half sufficient

during the fall and winter months.
thousands of these animals are
brought to the Jerusalem district from
the surrounding country, and some
times by steam from quite a distance.
Mutton and goat flesh are MORE gen.
orally eaten than beef. The supply Of
beef is sadly deficient. In summer
and fall pasturage is very scant and
the local cattle become very thin. As
near as a be ascertained the supply

increasing in Jerusalem since the num-

medans and Jews, non-consumers OF
pork.
The cattle are very small and the
meat is inferior in quality. An i'm
portant reason for this is the lack OF
p~asturage during the larger part OF
the year, and as animals are seldom
fed except when blowing, they barely
exist for months during each year
Another reason is that on account Of
the poverty Of the peasant he works
his animals-cows as well as oxen
at blowing and thrashing out grain
when they are very young, which. Of
course stunts and dwarfs them. The
milking properties Of the native cows
are very poor.

CHAPTER VII.
Plans for Escape.

Desperate as he certainly felt their
situation to be, FOR a moment or two
Hamlin was unable to cast aside the
influence of the girl, or concentrate
his thoughts on some plan for escape.
1t may have been the gentle pressure
Of her hand upon his sleeve, but her
voice continued to ring in his ears. He
had never been a woman's man, nor
was he specially interested in this
woman beside him. He had seen her
fairly, with his first appreciative
glance, when he had climbed into the
stage on the preceding day. He had
realized there fully the charm of her
face, the dark roguish eyes, the clear
skin, the wealth Of dark hair. Yet
all this a impersonal; however
pretty she might be, the fact was
nothing to him and never could be.
Knowing who she was, he compre-
hended instantly the social gulf
stretching unbridged between them.
An educated man himself, with family
connections he bad long ago ceased
to discuss, he realized his present
position more keenly than he other
wise might. He had enlisted In the
army with no Misunderstanding as to
what a private's uniform meant. He
had never heretofore supposed be re-
GREETED any loss in this respect, his
lature apparently satisfied with the
excitement Of active frontier service,
yet he vaguely knew there had been
times when he longed For companion
ship With ome of the class to
which h, had once belonged. For.
tunately Ms border stations offered
little temptation in this respect, and
he had grown to believe that he had
actually forgotten. That afternoon
even-swoetly fair as Miss Mcdonald
undoubtedly appeared-he had looked
upcn her without the throb of a pulse,
as he might upon a picture, She was
not for him eve to admire-she was
Major McDonald's daughter, whom he
had been tent to guard. That was all
then.
Yet he knew hat somehow it was
different now-the personal element
had entered u~nwelcomed, into the
equation. Sitting there in the dark
Gonzales body crumpled on the fioor
at his feet, and Moylan lying stiff and
cold along the back seat, with this
girl grasping his sleeve in trust, she
remained no longer merely the Ma
jor's daughter-she had become her
self. And she did not seem to carr
and did not seem to realize that there
were barriers Of rank, which undel
other circumstances must so utterly
separate them. She liked him, ant
frankly told him SO, not as she woult
dismiss an inferior with kindness
but as though he was an equal, al
though he was a gentleman. Some
