OLD CRAFT OF ODD DESIGN
MesopotamIa Boat, Known as Kufa,
Known to Have Been in Use Be-
fore Christian Era.

The Kufa, curious circular boat
made of basketwork, and seen no.
where else In the world, Is com
mon sight in Mesopotamia. The fer
rymen charge only a cent each pas
senger. There is one good point about
these strange craft-they are net cas-
lily upset. Their carrying capacity also
is great, and the kufa men pack In
their passengers like behring's in bar
rel. had the good luck to take pho
tograph of the actual building of q
kufa on the banks of the Tigris river
says a writer in the Wide World. They
are made of date palm branches
woven together with rope made out of
leaves of the same palm, thickly plas-
tered on the outside with bitumen.
They range from four to twelve feet
in diameter. Nowhere but on the
Tigris and lower Euphrates rivers can
one see these curious craft, which
serve principally for the transport OF
passengers, country produce and
beasts of burden across the river.

kufa of respectable size, and 1t
takes them some twenty days to build
1t. Like the kelek, the kufa is Of
great antiquity. for both these strange
craft we're in use long before the time
OF Christ. The evidence Of this Is in.
for on the bas-reliefs taken
from the palace of Sennacherib both
craft are clearly represented.

CHAPTER x.

Early that year, the touch Of autumn
came to the air. Often, returning at
SHUTDOWN from the afternoon life class,
Samson felt the lure of its melancholy
sweetness, and paused on one Of the
Washington Square benches, with
many vague things stirring in his
mind. He felt with stronger throb
the surety of young, but quickening,
abilities within himself. Partly, 1t was
the charm of Indian summer, partly
a sense of growing with the days, but,
also. though he had not as yet realized
that. 1t was the new friendship into
which Adrienne had admitted him,
and the new experience of frank cam
araderie with a woman not as mem
Der of an inferior sex, but as an equal
companion OF brain and soul He had
seen her often, and usually alone, be-
cause he Stunned meetings with
strangers. Until his education had ad-
vanced further, he wished to avoid
social embarrassments. He knew
that she liked him, and realized that
1t was because he was a new and virile
tyne. and for that reason diversion
a sort of human novelty. She liked
him. too, because 1t was rare for
man to offer her friendship without
making love, and she was certain he
would not make love. He liked her
for the same reasons that every one
else did-because she was herself. OF
late, too, he had met a number OF
men at Lescott's club. lie was mod
estly surprised to find that, though
his attitude on these occasions was
always that of one sitting in the back
ground, the men seemed to like him,
and. when they said, See you again"
at parting, 1t was with the convincing
manner of real friendliness.
One wonderful afternoon in Octo-
Der. when the distances were mist
hung and the skies very clear, Sam
son sat across the table from Adrienne
Lascott at a road house on the Sound.
The sun had set through great cloud
battalions massed against the west,
and the horizon was fading into dark
ness through haze like ash OF roses.
She had picked him up on the Ave
nue.. and taken him into her car for
a short spin, but the afternoon had
beguiled them, Turing them on a little
farther, and still little farther. When
they were a score of miles from Man
haitian, the car had suddenly broken
down. 1t would. the chauffeur told
them, be the matter of an hour to |
effect repairs, so the girl, explaining |
to the boy that this event gave the |
affair the aspect of adventure, turned

and led the way. on foot to the near.
est road house.
I'VE viii telephone that we shall
b late. and then have dinner" she
laughed. And for me to have dinner
with you alone, unchaperoned at a
country inn. is by New York standards
delightfully."- unconventional. 1t borders
on wickedness." Their, since their at.
titude toward each other was so
friendly and innocent, they both
laughed. They had dined under the
trees of an old manor house, built a
century ago. and now converted into
an inn, and they had enjoyed them
selves because it seemed to them
pleasingly paradoxical that they should
find in place seemingly so shabby
genteel cuisine and service OF such
excellence. Neither of them had ever
been there before, and neither OF them
knew that the reputation of this estab-
lishment was in its own way wide
and unsavory.
The repairs did not go as smoothly
as the chauffeur had expected, and,
when he had finished, he was hungry.
So. eleven o'clock found them still
chatting at their table on the lighted
lawn. After awhile. they fell silent,
and Adrienne noticed that her com.
panion's face had become deeply, al.
most painfully set, and that his gaze
was tensely focused on herself

manded.
The young man began to speak,
in steady, self-accusing voice.
Il was sitting here, looking at you"
he said, bluntly. Il was thinking
how fine you are in every way: how
there is as much difference in the tex.
tare of men and women as there is in
the texture of clothes. From that

pers and stockings, you are clad in
silk From your brain to the tone OF

Samson had hesitatingly taken the
gloved hand. and its grasp was firm
and strong despite it's ridiculous
smallness.
Il reckon he'll be back presently"
The boy was in doubt as to the proper
procedure. This was Lescott's studio,
and he was not certain whether or not
1t lay In his province to invite Les
colts sister to take possession of it.
Possibly. he ought to withdraw. is
ideas of social usages were very vague.
Then, ] think I'll watt" announced
the girl. She threw off her fur coat,
and took seat before the open CRATE.
The chair was large, and swallowed
her up.
Samson wanted to look at her, and
was afraid that this would be impolite.
He realized that he lad seen no
real ladies, except on the street, and
now he had the opportunity.
I'm glad of this chance to meet
you, Mr.. South" said the girl with a
smile that found it's way to the boys
heart. After all, there was sincerity
in foreign" women. George talks of
you so much that / feel as If I'd known
you all the while. Don't you think
might claim friendship with Georges
friends?"
Samson had no answer. He wished
to say something equally cordial. but
the old instinct against effusiveness
tied his tongue.
Il owe right smart to George Les
colt" he told her. gravely,
That's not answering my question,
she laughed. do you consent to be-
ing friends with me?"
Miss" began the boy. Then, real
izing that in New York this form of
address is hardly complete. he hast
ened to add: Miss Lescott, I've been
here over nine months now, and I'm
just beginning to realize what a rube
! am. haven't no" Again, he broke
of, and laughed at himself Il mean,
! haven't any idea of proper manners.
and SO I'm, as we would say down
home, plumb skeered' of ladies'"
AS he accused himself, Samson was
looking at her with unblinking direct
ness; and she met his glance with
eyes that twinkled.
Mr.. South" she said, Il know all
about manners, and you know all
about hundred real things that
want to know. Suppose we begin
teaching each other?"
Samson's face lighted with the rev.
authorizing effect that a smile can
bring only to features customarily
solemn.
Miss Lescott." he said, lets call
that a trade-but you're gettin' all
the worst of It. To start with, you
might give me lesson right now in
how Teller ought to act, when he's
talkin' to lady-how / ought to act
with you'll"
Her laugh made the situation as
easy as ar old shoe.
Ten minutes later, Lescott entered
WELL" he said. with a smile. "shal
Introduce you people. or have yor
already done 1t for yourselves?"
"Oh," Adrienne assured him, "Mr
South and are old friends" As she
left the room, she turned and added;
"The second lesson had better be al
my house. If l telephone you some
day when we can have the school-room
to ourselves, win you come up?"
Samson grinned and forgot to be
bashful as he replied:
I'll come a-kitin'i"

NO MORE bACKACHE

Ii you suffer with pains in your back and
sides or have any signs of kidney bladder
trouble such as rheumatic pains, puffy SWELL
ings under the eyes in the feet and ankles,
if you are nervous, tired and run down, or
bothered with urinary disorders, Solvax will
quickly and surely relieve you of your misery.
Sovsx is the most potent remedy yet devised
for Kidding the system of uric acid and driving
out all the poisonous Impurities which cause
such troubles. 1t neutralizes, dissolves and
makes the kidneys sift out all the uric acid and
poisons left the blood, and renders the kid
neys and ur mary organs clean, vigorous and
healthy.
A. Il. Howes & Co.. the POPULAR druggists
say that no medicine ought to be paid for
less it does the user some good. They there
fore sell Solv * under positive guarantee to
quickly relieve the worst of kidney
trouble or refund the money. Try Solvax to-
day and if you cannot and feel decided
change for the better just go to A. A. Howes
& and tell them you want your money
back and they will return it without question.
This is the strongest argument that can be
offered in behalf of any medicine.
