20 dear, / wish | had home!"
sighed pretty little Mrs. Garrett, stand
ing disconsolately in the center of her
little room in the Grand National hotel
at Louisport-
There were four trunks in the little
room, and Doris, the little girl, was
seated forlornly upon the top OF the
pile, staring as disconsolately as her
mother at the crowded cubic feet
which were to be their home for the
next few days.
A knock at the door; an elderly lady
and younger one, verging upon mid
die age, entered.
well, Molly, home again!" re-
marked the young one with unpleasant
emphasis in her tones.
EYES," sighed Molly Garrett.
"And John off again, as usual, sup
poser"
kansas City!" said Molly, almost
weeping.
well, you'd better come to us until
he returns" said the elder woman,
who was her stepmother. Il don't
know why my house should be upset
IN this way with your comings and 60
ings, but since you would marry a
travelling man I'll have to bear with
It,"
Little Mrs. Garrett began to cry.
She was completely under the thumb
of her stepmother and stepsister,
Amelia She had never had much in
dependence of will; perhaps that was
why she had married a drummer dur
ing her stepmother's absence. She
knew that her family did not look with
favor upon John Garrett.
For the past seven years they had
lived mainly in hotels. John, who was
fond of his wife, had taken her every
where with him. The little girl was
born in a hotel in Missouri. She had
been baptized In Omaha, and her edu-
cation, which had been begun in Mil
waukee, was to be continued in Louis
port, Mrs. Ga-retts home city. That
was why John had brought his wife
and daughter there three hours before,
hidden them a hasty farewell, and
started for Kansas City with heavy
heart He was so inconsequential; he
thought that so long as he paid the
bills it didn't matter where his wife
lived.
Established in her stepmother's
home as a paying guest, little Mrs.

Garrett listened to a daily TRADE
against her husband.
'It isn't any life to ask a woman to
SHARE declared her stepmother.
Molly, / warned you not to marry
that man. Who knows what he's do
ing when he's away from you? Those
statesmen are bad lot"
Little Molly Garrett began to cry
again. She loved John dearly, but
she was easily upset and rendered mis-
erable, and the suggestion worked up
on her mind.
Two weeks later John Garrett
popped into his stepmother's house,
breezy, Jolly, stout, rubicund and mid
die aged. The women received him
coldly. They did not like that type Of
man They moved in the best circles
of the limited society or Loulsport and
looked down on John.
Molly, back for the first time in two
or three years, began to renew ac-
quaintance with the fashionable folks
of her home town. After Johns de-
parture she felt an unaccustomed
sense of relief. She perceived what
the years of travel had made her for
get. John was not exactly gentle
man. His boisterous, good-natured
manners. his effuse friendliness were
singularly at variance with the calm
repose of Louisport's four hundred.
All her old friends had married and
were doing well. She looked at their
comfortable little ho11es, a.d sense
of bitterness began to stir in her heart.
And Sayles, her old sweetheart. was
still unmarried. He was manager of
the local bank now, and was reputed
to have been slated for the command

who was aimlessly travelling in the

rope of his discovery.
Carved Out Of Pink Rock.
Petra was once an important trad
ing station for the caravans that
moved between Persia and Egypt, and
India and the Holy Land and Syria. 1t
is built in colossal bowl of pink, and
its palaces, temples and tombs are
carved out of solid rock. Perhaps 1t
Is the Selah of the Old Testament.
Certainly. some of its carvings are
5000 years old. It's walls preserve the
history of architecture, for its struc-
lures date from the days of cave men
to the magnificent buildings of Greece
and Rome, which were duplicated by
the chisel, the theory being that Its
wealthy citizens went out into the
world, saw what was being built else
where and fastened home with the
artisans of many nations to reproduce
in the living rock what they had seen
built of blocks of stone.
Today Petra has about thirty lnnaD-
itants. They live in temples and pal
aces, and keep few goats, go beyond
their city into the desert to trade with
passing caravans, and, altogether, lead
a miserable life. They are half-clad.
half-starved and seem to be about half
beast. They have made trouble for
many travellers who attempted to visit
them, fer legend survives that a
Pharaoh OF Egypt hid his countrys
treasures In the Kazneh, the beautiful
building which is today known as
Pharaoh's Treasure House. For many
years they tried to keep white travel
ers from entering the city, because,
when the treasure was found, they
said, it belonged to them. But today
they welcome visitors.
Nominally. the city of Petra is
personal possession of the Sultan OF
Turkey and it is theoretically against
the law to remove anything without
his permission. But there is nobody
to stand watch and guard the historic
treasures. The ancient streets are
strewn with Assyrian carvings. an
cient Hebrew coins and Roman re-
mains. Every traveller helps himself,
and the natives assist him in his
search, hoping to derive few cents
for their labor.

The rock city is first viewed from
the hilltop after two days by caravan
from Ell Malan. 1t glistens in the sun
light and its cliffs and peaks seem to
be gigantic prisms of pink sapphire,
but later are found to be honeycombed
with buildings" carved in the rock.
1t is approached by what Is known as
the Six, three-mile rent in the rocks
Of the bowl, not more than two or
three yards in width. This Is the only
entrance; thus the city was impregna-
BILE and there is no record that it was
ever taken by siege.
Beyond the Six, in the desert, there
is a spring, the waters of which were
conveyed through the long Six by an
aqueduct carved in the rock. From
this spring, it is believed, the people
of the city obtained water, even in
large quantities, although they were
in the middle of rainless and barren
desert, for there are remains of state
ly Roman baths and swimming pools,
and cutters carved in the pavement
that were made to carry off the super
fluOus flow.
In the center Of the city there is a
tall prong of stone. It's summit is ap-
preached by carved winding stair
way, the steps of which are still sharp.
At the top there is a sacrificial stone
and an altar and pulpit. There are
trenches for the blood Of the sacrifice,
and 1t is the theory that the ancient
priests mounted this altar, performed
service in the presence of the assem-
bled city-tens of thousands of its peo-
pie having been able to hear his voice
distinctly, owing to the bowl forma-
tion of the city.
Great Amphitheater and Arena.
There is an amphitheater capable OF
seating 5000 persons, carved from the
The Western outlook., 1915-06-19

rock, with a gigantic arena, and even
private loges that are approached by
secret subterranean passages also
carved from the rock 1t Is the theory
that city that could support such an
arena for ornament must have been
exceedingly prosperous and wealthy.
But Petra has no certain history. 1t
is known that after his visit there,
the Emperor Hadrian ordered the
carving of Ell Kazneh, but most of the
buildings have no authentic record. II
is impossible to tell what was pal
ace, what tomb and what temple
Perhaps much of its interesting his
tory will come to light when it is sci
entifically and thoroughly excavated
and explored, for many of its glories
have been covered by the drifting
sands; and perhaps it must remain an
eternal mystery, for it Is forgotten
city and seems to have passed from
the memory of man too long to be re-
called.
OF the KaZneh Mr.. Newman says:
mot even the photographs give any
thing like a correct impression of it's
magnitude Its pillars, ornamental
front and its big chambers were
carved out of the solid rock, which
gives the whole thing, with its deli
cate design, the appearance of giant
cameo. One sees that it became pos
sible only after millions of mallet and
chise1 strokes had been directed
against the mountain. It is one Of the
most perfect structures in the world,
and before its vast portal are four
splendid Corinthian columns support
ing the portico, two others having bro
ken Off and tottered over.
Il stayed nearly a week in Petra,
but then did not feel that I had been
there half long enough. / had visited
merely the larger structures In this
amazing collection of rock hewn edi-
fees. II is said that there are about
750 tombs In Petra, but 1t seemed to
me, after attempting to see as many
of them as possible, that there are
nearer $500. The great mountains in
which Petra rests are literally honey
combed. Usually there are ornate en-
frances, splendidly carved doorways,
and in the chambers little inches,
beautifully carved mantel-like stones,
snd other embellishments"

~ can, see the Temple Oh Jupi-
ter at Baalbek, but above
all, see the amazing Kazneh at Petra"
wrote an old-time traveller.
That was what fired the imagination
Of e. M. Newman, the American travel
lecturer. Petra had been jotted in his
notebook for many years, but he had
never found it convenient to take the
time for the journey when he found
himself in the neighborhood of the
Arabian desert. Last year, when he
was In the Holy Land, he gave in
structions for a caravan to be out
fitted for his use from the Arabian
town of Ell Malan. At last he was to
gaze on Ell Kazneh, rightly called one
of the wonders of the world; at last
he was to pitch his camp in that for
gotten city in the Arabian wilderness
where it is believed by historians and
psychologists the children Of Israel
fingered for 20 years when they were
on their way from Egypt to the Prom
ised Land.
Only eight American travellers have
penetrated Petra. 1t is one of the last
of the interesting places on the earth S
surface that have not been fully ex-
plored. Although it is believed that 1t
was a city of 100000 population, it is
a city without modern history. It's
existence was unknown to Europe for
upward of IA centuries Nobody knows
why it was forgotten, whether its in
habitants left or were destroyed by
famine, food or pestilence. In the
fourth century the bishop Of Petra
was among the priests at a conclave
at Jerusalem; and then 1t passed be-
yond notice until 1912, when 1t was
discovered by accident by Burkhardt,

Boston, Mass. Aug. s.-Gov. Walsh
is a candidate for a third term. Last
night, after various final conferences
with political leaders and members OF
his family, he issued q statement to
the newspapers in which he announced
his intention Of standing again for the
Democratic nomination.
For over two months His Excellen-
CIV has been tottering on the brink.
Even before the Legislature prorogued
he announced he would make final
statement shortly after the body had
left the State House. At the time he
also let it be known that he was in
clined to withdraw from the field.
During the last month, even with
him out of the state, the situation has
been slowly changing. The members of
his family who were most insistent
that he withdraw changed their posi-
ton, and the last obstacle was remoV-
ed Saturday from inside the family cir
Gle.
In his statement the Governor makes
plain that his own feelings really head
ed strongly to a retirement, but that
political and other conditions have
arisen he is practically forced into the
field.

publication, were very enthusiastic ever
his decision and expressed themselves
in long primer type. Privately q number
of them are yet grumbling over the gen.
eral situation. They appreciate that IL
he refused they would have been under
the necessity of actually begging him
to run because of the inability to secure
another candidate at so late a date, and
that thought alone tempered their private
feelings.
They have been at him for over .
month for this declaration. and before he
started West with the state delegation
they demanded a word from him. It was
all in vain. During his trip West, II 10
said, ex-Mayor Fitzgerald made a per.
sonal demand for a declaration, but 1t
missed the mark.
The welcome home demonstration at
the South station and in various Massa-
chusetts cities was arranged as a "smok.
ing out" and it was apparently sue.
cessful.
The statement is addressed primarily
to the governors party associates. since
of course he must first win the party
nomination. There is another candidate,
former Congressman Dietrich. who can
not be completely ignored. although the
Democratic slate-makers have sought to
obliterate that name.
