CHAPTER XIV.
The End of Ramazan,

ne emo OF hamaZan.
On the outskirts of Sidi-bel-Abbes
half a dozen Arabs stood and waited
patiently. They had stood on the same
spot since the hour of sunset, watch
ing the pale emerald change to deep
est sapphire, and had neither moved
nor spoken to one another. In their
spotless burnooses they had looked like
statues placed there as sentinels over
the gayly lighted, bustling town behind
them. Now. as slowly, gracefully, the
thin circle of the new moon rose above
the distant line of palms, the foremost
Arab bowed himself to the ground
1.-The fast is over. Praise be to Al
lah, the all-merciful."
From the distance came the dull reg
ular thud Of horses hoofs. A moment
later spahi, mounted on foam
t1ecked, blood-stained horse, which
reeled in it's gallop, burst through their
midst and swept on toward the gates
Of the Notifications. AS he passed he
dragged himself up in his saddle and
whirled his fint-lock In a semicircle
about his head.
"Ramazan is over" he gasped
"Ouled Nail has risen"
The last words were lost in the
swirl Of wind which chung to his
horses heels The half a dozen Arabs
turned their glance for a last time to
the sky Behind the brooding. i'm
penetrable gravity there burned up a
controlled half-smiling exultation.
Then. still silent. they dispersed swift
ly in the direction of the town.

and back, and 1t fastens at the left
front. The body of the coat could not
be cut on simpler lines. and 1t hangs
straight from the shoulder. 1t is joined
to the peplum under a soft crushed
belt Of the taffeta, fastening at the
front with a prim bow and buckle.
Round velvet-covered buttons and
small silk cord loops take care Of the
front fastening.
The sleeves are long and flare little
at the band, where they are slashed in
to rounded points. A soft collar of
pique is worn inside the rolling collar
Of silk.
AS to the silk suit for street or other
wear, it is one Of the most satisfactory
possessions. Women who know how
to do decorative needlework can buy
plain suits and embellish them with en-
broideries that place them in the class
of exclusive designs. By the addition
Of other trimmings and fashion fea-
lures the plain suit may be converted
into an expression of individual taste,
as the season grows older.
Before the cool breezes of Septem-
ber have begun to sigh with the pass
ing Of summer, the college girl must

hers and held it with feverish strength.

gasped. 81 understand-you were
thinking of those other days-Iong ago
and you were merciful. You had
judged and passed sentence-and then
you forgave. 1 am glad-it was like
you-like my dreams Of YOU"
'In your dreams did 1 pass sen
tencef' she interrupted in the same
low tone.
'Yes-you remember-out there in
the churchyard. What you said then
it has haunted me like a curse. 4

Richardr"
"The woman who said that was cruel
and foolish" she said. "She didn't un-
derstand"
"And now?"
"If / do not understand verything,
at least have still my faith"
Faith? In whom? An outcast
without name or honor?"
"You are not without name or honor.
You may have strained both in that
first defeat-I do not know how or
why-but you have not lost them.
They are yours still l believe that
they will be yours always"
You know that? You believe that?"
Il know" Her arms were about
him; she held his exhausted, tortured
frame in strong tenderness. "If l
had not known would not have come
here to you. Only the best of us can
fall from great heights. Only the
bravest can pick themselves up and
begin the long, heart-breaking climb
back"
She lifted her, white face to the sky,
hiding the binding tears. All was still
again. The black grotesque shadow of
the sentry crossed the fading line Of
and she crouched lower. He
passed on indifferently.
''You are right" Farquhar went on
at last. 'sThat was what prayed that
you should understand I had failed,
utterly, ignominiously, but not ignobly.
can't explain. I shall never be able
to; but L meant to go out of your life
and leave you happy. 1t was all I
thought Of. Can you believe that?"
II do believe it," she answered
hoarsely.
'"Thank you" He smiled a little.
As though overtaken by sudden ir
resistible thought, he dragged himself
up and his eyes, sightless and yet
conscious, sought her face.

Instinct Of Birds.

While residing in the country, some
years ago, and walking out one eve
ming, found a nest of young black
birds. The young birds were almost
fiedged. Taking them home with me,
I put them in cage, and the next
morning hung them out under a tree
and in about an hour I saw the old
birds at the cage, evidently delighted
to find their young. The old birds
came regularly every two hours and
fed them with worms and grubs. This
continued for two days. the old birds
trying all in their power to get the
young ones out. On the third day I
noticed the old birds bring a berry,
which they gave the young ones, two
of whom died that evening and the
the rest next day. The old birds then
left off coming. The berries on ex-
animation proved to be the seeds Of
the Atropa belladonna or deadly
nightshade. This convinced me of
what / had heard about these birds
destroying their young if allowed to
feed them in imprisonment. l am told
that other birds have the same in
stinct.-Liverpool Post.

IRRIGATION in Eoypt.

The Egyptian ministry Of public
works, which has been experimenting
In cotton raising during the past ten
years in the Gezia region in the Sudan,
has issued an optimistic report to the
effect that 1t will be possible to do
better than double the yield of cotton
in the Nile Delta by means of a sys-
tenn Of dams for irrigation in connec-
ton with the White Nile and the Blue
Nile.
Vast quantities of water have been
stored already, and during the past 80
years nearly a million acres of en-

estimated that in this newly explored
