toward the camp in as orderly pre-

The battle had become general now.
Screened as he was by the cover of
the palm trees, Paul was out of the
immediate zone of rifle fire, but the
shells tore over him, hurting the
boughs upon the sand and delving
graves among the debris of the Dunes
But Paul had no thought of his own
danger. Fascinated, self-forgetful, he
watched the reforming line of Arab
riders sweep forward once more. And
at their head she rode again, undaunt-
ed, reckless, a verftable angel of

MOSAIC LAWS FAR ADVANCED
Peculiar Distinction of Permitted and
Forbidden Foods Has Been Vim
dictated at Last.

There have been gathered collec-
ton of facts to prove that the sanitary
laws of Moses were not only on line
with the modern rules of hygiene, but
in some cases in advance of them,
says Harper's Weekly.
The Jew thousands of years before
Christ, settling in semi-tropical coun-
try, was forbidden to eat pork or she'll
fish, and milk was designated as a
source of contagion. In the Talmud
a method of slaughtering animals was
prescribed which is acknowledged to-
day in our markets as the most sani-
tary.
Five thousand years before Koch
gave to the world the results Of his re-
searches in bacteriology, the Mosaic
law pointed out the danger to man
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did
not forbid infected poultry as food. It
was only few years ago that German
specialists discovered that fowl tuber-
culosis was harmless to man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation Of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial of the dead
outside all cities. These hints the
Gentle world did not fully accept un-
til century or two ago.
The wise lawgiver prescribed not
only fasting at certain periods of the
year, but the removal Of whole fami-
lies in summer out to camps, where
for time they could live close to ma
ture. Many Of the laws of Moses were
preset ions intended for the health
of both mind and body.

MODERN USE OF CHURCHES
New Ideas in Meetings and SociaIs
Would Shock Puritans and
Old Ministers.

The Observation-Disclosures or lay
man-of the Puritan stamp of two
centuries ago, or his descendant who
lived in New England at any time in
the nineteenth century, would be
grievously shocked If he could look
in upon some of the gatherings in YES
try or other church apartment, which
are held on the Sabbath under the
name of Pleasant Sunday Afternoon,
or something similar
Suppose for the moment that Dwight
L. Moody should scan the weekly cal
endar of the church in which he was
to conduct revival service and find
the announcement of an address by
distinguished musical director on
How to Listen to Grand Opera" to
be given between the morning and
evening services.
What would Camp Meeting John
Allen say or think should he be sum-
moned to a midweek evening vestry
party by a printed invitation bidding
him to come hungry" and bring his
best and latest story" and upon ar
rival discover that T. was a regular
ladies night" Of the MEMS Noisy
and Stay-Up Late Club"
These are two incidents in the
broad and diversified program in
which nearly every church in Boston
has taken part during the last few
years with increasing success and at.
tendance. The two are chosen for
illustration because they are so radi-
cally different from the old-fashioned
ideas of anything distinctively re-
ligious in character.

He clasped Pauls hand again and
stepped into the aeroplane. Until that
moment Paul had not realized that he
was to be parted once more from the
mysterious woman who had been SO
miraculously given back to him. But

desert sand, Paul still clinging fast
in fury Of delirious anger. 1t drag
ged him, flung him aside, rose slowly,
like a great bird, and winged its pas
sage through the air. Paul stood still,
gazing at it until it was only a speck
in the distance.
Then, his head bowed with anguish,
he stumbled slowly over the desert
sands in the direction of the Italian
quarters. He had found his love only
to lose her again. And even now he
did not know her name.
But he knew that she loved him. And
he vowed that he would follow her
and win her yet, though seven gates,
each guarded by an angel with fiery
sword, as in the Arab legend, divided
them.

| the Italians occupied the oasis they
found nothing but the bodies of those
who had fallen. They halted there
some half mile from Paul. They did
not find him.
He saw men pass nearby by al
times, but could not cry for aid, fol-
his swollen tongue Glove to the root
Of his parched mouth and all his
senses seemed about to fail him. He
felt the pangs of imminent dissolu
ton. He closed his eyes, waiting fol-
death. He had no longer any fear, fol-
he had seen her horse go down; and
he knew that few of those who had
fallen could have survived that In
trepid ride into the zone Of death.
He did not feel the burning sun that
beat on him. He did not see the
shimmering wastes of sand, nor taste
the sand drift in his choking throat
But he heard the softly whispered
words that came to him; and, as a
man in dream who does not dare to
wake lest the vision vanish, he
listened.
A soft hand soothed his brow. At
last, venturing to open his eyes, he
knew that his dream was true.
| For she crouched at his side-the
woman who had been the cause of all
his venturings, she who had drawn
him from the placid existence of his
Long Island home to dare and do
among the world Of men. And all the

With looks Of compassion; now she

cied he heard the whirring of great
wings above him. The sound passed
through his mind like the shadowy
fancy of dream. He hardly felt the
sand shoveled away or the hands that
hoisted him from the pit. 1t was the
taste of brandy in his throat and the
long succeeding draught of cooling
water, infinitely grateful; above all it
was the agony of the returning circu-
lation in his limbs that brought him
back to consciousness.
When he opened his eyes he found
himself lying in the shadow of a great
aeroplane. At his side stood an officer
wearing the uniform of the Italian
aeronautical corps. Within the ma
chine, strapped carefully to the up
rights, her face pale as death, her
eyes closed, was the unknown lady.
But when Paul stared, not yet quite
sure Of his surroundings, into the
face Of the man who had rescued him,
he was more amazed than at anything
that had occurred during his adven-
ture. For this was Captain Won Holz-
rath, whom he had met in antagonism
on the Long Island shore that day
when he had his first meeting with
Mademoiselle.
The captain gazed into Paurs face
steadfastly; he knew him, too.
Il am glad that we have met again, t"
he said. cit is a far cry from the COM
mand of an Austrian battleship to that

and continued in low voice, filed
with intense earnestness:
"Relinquish your hopeless quest,
Monsieur. You see how fate has
worked against you. Here cannot

Monsieur, let me warn you, urge you
to 60 back to America. You do not
understand the strength Of the forces
with which you have to contend, or
the impossibility Of your aspirations"

out his hand. The captain grasped

How Sunday Reaches the Frontier.
High principle and humor have ever
made an irresistible combination.
Early merchants on the American
frontier conspicuously failed in the OBJ
servance of Sunday; therefore, when
a young New Jersey trader, who had
settled in Louisville, Kentucky, closed
his store on the first Sunday after it
was opened, there was much ado in
the town
Other establishments kept open:
had he not noticed it? he was asked.
Yes, he knew it. Why did he close?
He was the first to do so; he must
know that, also.
Why" said facetious merchant.
Sunday hasn't yet crossed the noun
tains.'
Yes, it has," declared the newcom-
er, pleasantly. Il brought it with mel"
That simple and ready reply proved
more effective than any amount of ar
gument, and although he was the first
to observe the day in town, he soon
had many followers in Sunday-closing.

Paul accompanied his captors under
great fronds OF palm branches which
bent low over a ripping stream of
purest water, and SO to the edge Of
the oasis, where the eternal sands be-
gan once more. Hating there, one of
the men stood guard over Paul, while
the other, opening the haversack
which hung over his shoulders, drew
forth a jointed spade-blade, which he
affixed to the tip of his rifle In place
of the bayonet. Then he began stol.
idly digging in the sands.
Paul watched him with an accession
of horror. Was he digging his grave?
There could be no other purpose in
this manuever. He dug deep, though,
rather than wide, shoveling away the
sand until he had excavated a hole
some five feet six inches in depth.
Then he stood up, stretched himself,
yawned, and signified to Paul to step
in.
Paul hesitated, and the second sol

bayonet tip. A wild thought of resist.

level Of Paul's throat the soldier pat

at his companion, laughed; and the
pair trudged back among the palms
again.
They had buried their victim to the
throat and left him there, a head
above the desert, apparently cut off at
the throat, to suffer death from the
broiling heat Of next days sun-un,
less some prowling beast discovered
him.
The sun had long since sunk. 1t
was quite dark, save for galaxy of
brilliant stars that seemed to drift
through the flying cloud. A cold wind
rose. Immobile in the sand, Paul felt
all his limbs tortured with cramps OF

depths and enveloped him, blotting
out all sense and consciousness. 1t
