tee elected at the last town election

ing A. v. Templet chairman and

vote on the question of adopting the
commission form. This was done be-
cause many of the voters have de-
manded to know who will be the cam

ing expressed as to the wisdom of
adopting the commission form with
out any prior knowledge as to what
three men are to be instructed with
the management of the city's affairs.
Should a second primary be neces-
sary, it will be held April %. Cam
didates are given until March is to

cup-like valley; soundless save when clinked against a buckle; all with the somber aspect of scene from Dante. Several black spots, moving in circles far above, once attracted George; and he knew them to be kites, which will follow caravan into the desert even as a gull will follow a ship out to sea. Later, torpid indifference took pos session of him, and the sense of pain grew less under the encroaching numbness.
 And when at last the splendor of the dawn upon the desert flashed like east, grew and widened, George com prehended one thing clearly, that they were in the Arabian desert, out of the main travelled paths. in the middle of nowhere.
 His sense of beauty did not respond to the marvel of the transformation. The dark grey of the sand-hills that became violet at their bases. to fade away upward into little pinnacles of shimmering gold: the drah, formless, scattered boulders, now assuming olear-cut shapes, transfused with ruby and sapphire glowing; the sun itself that presently lifted its rosal warm ing circle above the stepping-off place-George saw but noted not. The physical picture was overshadowed by the one he drew In his mind: the good ship Ludwig, boring her way out into the sea.
 The sun was free from the deserts rim when the leading camel was halt ed. A confusion ensued; the camels following stupidly into one another, in kind of panic. Out of the silence came babble of voices, a grunting. chatter of pack-baskets and saddle bags. George. as his camel kneeled, slid of involuntarily and tumbled against a small hillock. and lay there, without any distinct sense of what was going on round him. The sand. fine and mutable, formed couch com fortingly under his aching body; and he fell asleep. exhausted. Already the impalpable dust. which had risen and followed the caravan all through the night, had powdered his clothes. and his face was stained and streaked. His head lay in the sand. his soft Fe- dora crushed under his shoulders. What with the bruises visible. the rents in his coat, the open shirt, soiled, crumpled. collarless. he in. vited pity; only none came from the

ARK., s. OF V.'S SCORE
Each Camp Pledged $l0 to Go on Debt-NO Other State
 Made Good.

Little Rock, June 2-Ihe Arkan- sas Sons of Confederate Veterans made as good a record at the Chat tanooga Reunion as they did at the one held the year before in Macon, where the Arkansas delegates starled the movement which wiped the debt from the organization in a year. The Arkansas delegates pledged SlO for each camp in the state, to be applied on the debt. # the other states would do likewise. Arkansas made good, being the only state which did so.
 Thh Arkansas Sons went to Chat tanooga with the intention of elect ing w. \. Brandon of Little Rock. who served two terms as com mander of the Trans Mississippi department, as commander-in-chief. Arriving in Chattanooga, the Ar kansas delegation found the wheel horses pledged to W. W. Olds of Virginia, who was twice defeated for the office. The Arkansans then decided 10 delay their contest for one year. and then elect Command CT Brandon as member-at-large of the executive council of the Sons. As most of the business of the or eanizalion is transacted by the council, Commander Brandon thus has more power than if he had been elected commander-in-c
 !. S. Barkman of Little Rock will receive the appointment of the Ar kansas division, Sons of Confederate Veterans. and he will immediately start campaign for the organiza- ton of new camps in the state de- termined to raise the number of votes to which the state is entitled to such an extent that there will be no question of electing Commander Brandon as the next commander in-chief.

 When he came back from his troubled dreams, a bowl of rice, thinned by hot water, was given him. He cleaned the bowl, not because he was hungry, but because he knew that somewhere along this journey he would need strength; and the recur. ring fury against his duress caused him to fling the empty bowl at the head of the camel-boy who had brought it The boy tucked, laugh. ing. George lay down again. Let them cut his throat if they wanted to; 1t was all the same to him Again he slept, and when he was roughly and forcibly awakened, he sat up with a snarl and looked about.
 His head was clear now, and he began to take notes. He counted ten, eleven, twelve camels, a car. van in truth, prepared for a long and continuous journey. There were three pack-camels, laden with wood. tents and such cooking utensils as the f~u. gal Arab had need of. Certainly Ma. homed was a rich man, whether he owned the camels or hired them for the occasion. Upon one of the beasts they were putting up mahmal, a can. opy used to protect women from the sun while riding. One Arab. taller, more robust than the others, moved hither and thither authoritatively. Wound about his tarboosh or fez was a bright green cutia, signifying that the wearer had made the pilgrimage to Holy Mecca. This individual George assumed to be Mahomed him. self.
