The captain, who was down to din
ner unusually early, rose to welcome
Quests little party, and himself ar
ranged the seats.
They settled down into the places
arranged for them.
An elderly lady, dressed in some
what oppressive black, with big
cameo brooch at her throat and a.
black satin bag in her hand, was being
shown by the steward to seat by
Quests side She acknowledged the
captains greeting acidly.
Good evening, captain" she said. Il

that the seat on your right hand would
be reserved for me. l am Mrs. Eos

The captain received the announce
ment calmly.
Every pleased to have you at the
table, madam" he replied. "As to the
seating, I leave that entirely to the
steward. I never interfere myself"
Laura pinched his arm, and Lenora
glanced away to hide smile. Mrs.
Foston Rowe studied the menu disap-
provingly.

The professor came ambling along
towards the table.

chair next to Mrs. Foston Rowe. I Of

engrossed until the very last moment

"Well, you'll have to stay hungry a
long time at this table then," Mrs. Eos
ton Rowe snapped. Seems to me
that the service is going to be abomin
able"
The steward, who had just arrived
presented a cup of bouillon to Quest
The others had all been served. Quest
stirred it thoughtfully.
"And as to the CUSTOM" Mrs. Foston
Rowe continued, "of serving gentle
men before ladies, it is, suppose, pc
culiar to this steamer"
| Quest hastily laid down his spoon
raised the cup of bouillon and pre-
scented it with a little bow to his neigh
Dor.
"Pray allow me, madam" he begged
"The steward was to blame"
Mrs. Foston Rowe did not hesitate
for moment. She broke up some
toast in the bouillon and commenced
to sip it.
The spoon suddenly went gathering
from her fingers. She caught at the
sides of the table, there was strange

She leaned towards him, a torrent OF
words streaming from her lips. The
professor answered her in her own lam
guage. She listened to him in amaze
ment. The anger passed. She held out
both her hands. The professor still
argued. She shook her head. Finally
he placed some gold in her palms. She
patted him on the cheek. laughed into
his eyes, pointed behind and resumed
her dance. The anklet remained in the
professors hand.
Say, we'll get out Of this" Quest
said. ''The girls have had enough"
The professor made no objection.
Congratulate me-" he said. 81 have

There are thousand like it, you
would think, in the ba1aars there. In
reality there may be, perhaps dozen
more in all Egypt which are genuine"
They all looked at one another.
Their relief had grown too poignant
for words.
Early start tomorrow" Quest re-
minded them.

Lenora, a few nights later, looked
down from the star-strewn sky which
seemed suddenly to have dIopped so
much nearer to them, to the snadows
thrown across the desert by the dane
ing flames of their fire.
Laura rose to her feet
"Say, I'm going to get drink" she
announced.
The dragoman who had been hover
ing around. bowed gravely and pointed
towards the water bottles.
She took the horn cup from the
dragoman.
"Have some yourself, If you want
to, Hassan," she invited.
Hassan bowed gravely, filled cup
and drank it off. He stood for mo-
ment perfectly still, as though some
thing were coming over him which he
failed to understand. Then his lips
parted, his eyes for moment seemed
to shoot from out Of his dusky skin.
He threw up his arms and fell over on
his side. Laura, who had only slipped
her cup, threw 1t from her. She, too.
reeled for a moment. The professor
and Quest came running up, attracted
by Lenoras shrek.
They're poisoned" she cried.
"The Veedemzoo!" Quest shouted.
"My God! Pull yourself together.
Laura. Hold up for minute"
He dashed back to their little en-.
campment and reappeared almost i'm
mediately. He threw Laura's head
| back and forced some liquid down her
| throat
otis camphor!" he cried. you'll be
| all right, Laura. Hold on to yourself
He swung round to where the drago'
man was lying, forced his mouth open,
but it was too late-the man was dead.
He returned to Laura. She stumbled
| to her feet. She was pale, and drops
of perspiration were standing on her
forehead. She was able to rise to her
feet, however, without assistance.

Quest felt her pulse and her foro-
head They moved back to the fire.
| "We are within a dozen miles or SO
of the Mongar village" Quest said
grimly "Do you suppose that fellow
could have been watching?"
They all talked together for time
in low voices. The professor was in

magical. The bouillon turned to

They all looked at one another.
Craig must be here amongst us,
Quest muttered.
"Apd the bouillon," Laura cried,
clasping Quests arm, "the bouillon
was leant for you!"
There seemed to be, somehow,
among all of them, a curious lndls-
position to discuss this matter. Sud
denly Lenora, who was sitting on the
lounge underneath the portfolio, put
out her hand and picked up card
which was lying by his side. She
glanced at it, at first, curiously. Then
she shrieked.

TOWN AND COUNTY,


A machinery expert is here now
installing the machinery for the
ice plant, which Egbert Brann is
putting in. Mr.. Brann expects to
have his plant in full operation in
a short time and will soon be SELL
ing ice. We urge the citizens Of
Dresden to patronize him, as he is
a home man and this is an indus
try worthy of patronage. Mr..
Brann has spent several thousand
dollars on this plant and it is nee
essary for him to have the home
trade il order to make the BUSH
ness pay.
DR.. John Vincent, Weakley
county's renowned colored healer,
took upon himself a wife last
Saturday. The 'dusky lady pos.
sesses the euphonious cognomen
of Laura Johnson. She resided
near Greenfield. 1t is understood
that she was a widow. DR..
Vincent's reputation as a healer
has spread throughout the state
and many people have come to
him from a distance for aid in their
physical ailments. We wish this
happy couples many years Of con-
tinued matrimonial bliss.
All the mail carriers report that

OF road not before on any routes,
but now OH the routes as changed,
are still worse. The roads on
Horace Brummitt's route are so
bad that his buggy actually turn
ed over twice on the first day. The
government will not tolerate any
such condition Of the roads. If
the people along the new routes do
not get to work on the roads, the
route will be discontinued. The
people have the opportunity to
keep their new mail service or to
J lose it. Which shall it be?

For Trustee.

In making formal announcement
for the democratic nomination for
trustee, Mr.. Green Maness does so
with full knowledge OF the re-
quirements Of the office and fully
confident of his ability to transact
the business of the Office. Mr..
Maness is a young man, who has
twice previously been elected to
Office in this county, but both
times was legislated out OF Office,
after having spent a considerable
sum OF money making a canvass
Of the county. Yet, he gracefully
stepped down ond out when it was
pointed out to him that by so doing
he would thus demonstrate q
patriotic disposition. The las
legislature abolished the Office Of
road commissioner, held by Mr..
Maness, after he had been duly
elected by the sovereign people, and,
instead Of taking his case to law,
he took it to the people, who
concurred in the action OF the
legislature.
Mr.. Maness feels, as do a great
many people. that he is entitled to
some consideration because Of the
fact recited above. He is life.
long democrat, clean, honorable
gentleman. and asks that his can
didacy be given due consideration.
He will make an effort to see the
voters in person, laying his claims
before them. We unhesitatingly
say that he is a worthy gentleman,
and would appreciate your vote and
influence.

One day last week. little Thomas
Little, daughter Of DR.. Little, of
Martin. suffered an injury from
falling off the running-board Of the
car Of walter Gray, the accomo-
dating mail-carrier Of Martin. 1t
is said that Gray invited some of
the children ofthe neighborhOod to
Jump upon the running-board and
said that he would carry them a
little way. After going few
hundred feet at a very slow pace,
he told them all to get off. Think
ing that they had all obeyed him,
he speeded his car up to about
fifteen miles an hour. Little
Thomas either jumped or fell off,
and the car hit her on the head
suffering what was at first thought
serious injuries. It was found.
however, that there was nothing
dangerous about her injuries, and
the little girl is getting along
splendidly. No blame is attached
to GRAY, as he thought all the
children had gotten off the car.
The annual all-day singing al
Hatler's campground was cele'

crowd was in attendance, though
; the threatening clouds prevented
the attendance of many who
would otherwise have come. The
singing was, as always is, ex.
; tremely fine and was much en-
ioyed by those who had come
there to hear it. There was some
rowdyism, however, and five
persons were arrested and fined.
Sheriff LaFon had four deputies
; and two constables on the ground
ready to handle any obstreperous
persons. Deputy SheriffS Egbert
Bullock, Finis Summers, Tom

Sheriff LaFon very highly for
his care in having officers on

hazard about his methods. He
gets his officers there, no mat
ter how much expense and
trouble to himself. He has good
deputies, too, brave and capable
