! riage and dismountinE. ran after the
man.
To her dismay, Just Rs she reached
Ahmed. another person hurried breath
Iessly up TO the peddIer. It was the tall
young man who had spoken over her
shoulder.
Il want the ring OF the Princess Bedr:'
cried Eve impuIsivcly. and as the new-
conner drew back out OF hearing she
brought forth her purse and paid the
prico demanded by Ahmed.
Ahmed thrust the ring into her hand in
secretive manner. and Eve slipped it
upon her finger and hastened back to the
carriage where Mrs. Wilton was thor
oughly enjoying this trip with Eve Ray
mond-the girl was so young and fresh
and enthusiastic and unspoiled. One OBJ
tanned a new viewpoint in travelling with
Eve-and cne never lost sight of Youth
Eve showed the ring OF the Princess
Bedr to Mrs. Wilton and made her prom
ise not to tell Paula the magic of It.
Paula thinks am so silly" explained
the girl
1T is our secret-untIl the ring works
its magic" promised Aunt Felice.
That evening Eve Raymond was intro
duced to Jack Long on the terrace at
Shepheard's Hotel. After a few pleasant
words he returned to Paula's side and
later, when other acquaintance claimed
the beautiful Miss WhIton's attention.
Jack sought out Eve, who was watching
the shifting crowds IN the street below.
The Washington herald., 1914-07-19

You are not having gaod time" said
the girl quite unexpectedly
why. how on earth do you know
that" he asked.
Your face tells it plainly said she
You are moping alone over something
Cheer up. I'm not. either"
Craymore's face frightened.
rs that why you sent those two away
an spoke to me-because you recognized
a fellow-sufferer?'
Exactly" said she.
Craymore laughed delightedly.
II like that laugh OF. yours" she said
with amazing frankness. It's the only
genuine thing I've heard here tonight"
There goes another tango" said he,
Shall we try it?''
Goodness. no! Let's sit heSe and talk.
I have to dance next time. I shall be
claimed"
Have you any more open events?'
Craymore asked lightly.
Several" said she.
''win you come here and talk with
me?"
Gladly"
But they had scarcely begun to grow
interested in the queer antics OF the
goldfish when q young man came hurry
ing in to claim her.
craymore waited impatiently behind
the orange trees until she was at liberty
during another unengaged danos.
The Washington herald., 1914-07-19

Five dances she sat out with him in
the little room OF the goldfish and bios
soming orange trees. Craymore had
prided himself that he was not particu-
larly susceptible to women, but this girl
was like no other he had ever seen or
known. That was what he had come here
to find outfit these girls one met here
were so wonderfully different. He decid-
ed that an occasional one-a rarely oc-
casional one, like this girl with the gray
eyes. was different. 1t filled him with a
sudden quick dismay. After all, he was
a pretender; he had no right here. He
would never see her again after tonight
Better never to have come than to nave
seen her and realized her inaccessibility.
A little clock somewhere was Ginning
the half hour. He found 1t was 2:3o. Al
ready the dancers were thinning out.
Once more the girl with the gray eyes
was coming into the room. He started
forward eagerly.
This time it's to say good night, or
good morning." she said. II WISH" and
there was q little wistfuI note in her
voice, cit didn't have to be good-by. OF

So she had seen through him all the

"Craymore," the young man replied
with that engaging smile he knew SO
well how to use.
"Of course, of course" said the bored
man rather apologeticaIly. Ought to re-
member 'em better but can't seem to get
the hang of doing it. Ny dear" he turned
to the stout, voluble woman beside him.

Thus he washed his hands OF Cray

''oh. Mr.. Craymore, so good of you to
come. Where have you been hiding your
self, naughty boy? Are you in seclusion,
trying for holy orders? One would think
so from all we see Of you these days. Oh.

Mr.. Craymore. Run along, now, and

Thus did she dismiss Crsymore and con-
tinue being voluble. 1t was really easier
than Craymore had supposed.
He tangoed in the big. glaring gold and
white ballroom with Alice Leyden. and
when q man came to claim her at the end
Of the dance he was told how devinely

the big fellow confidently.
The next morning Eve drove out to tbs
pyramids with Mrs. Long and her son
They found Ahmed. and that impudent
rascal professed to be unaware that he
had had sold duplicates Of the ancient
ring.
7 sell so much, Enendi. how could
remember" he asked with melting eyes.
Long laughed and turned to Eve.
DO you really care whether the ring
OF the Princess Bedr ever belonged to
that departed lady or not?''
Not Bit" agreed Eve quickly: its
a dear ring. though. and shall always
wear it-I like the orange eyes-and there
may be virtue in it."
Il am sure there is" agreed Long cuiet-
ly. For my part I shall always have
faith in the magic properties Of the ring
Of Princess Bedr-perhaps some day. you
will permit me to tell you why"
Some day" said Eve dreamily. as she
looked away over the shimmering des-
ert. where the ring OF Princess Bedr had
truly wrought magic for her: for. though
It would be unconfessed for many weeks
yet. she knew even now that the ring
had brought her the love of the one man

In the meanwhile what are the

We find that in 1899 the production value
of these important agencies OF agriculture
