and turned suspiciously to him. None
of them spoke.
"Is anything wrong?" he asked quiet
ly.
mo. What would be wrong?" the
major answered.
Lahada felt suddenly suspicious of
him. He could see a corner of the
khan glimmer family a quarter of
mile away. Between the head of the
caravan and the village the road drop
ped suddenly and ran through defile
of high rock, which turned sharply at
an obtuse angle and hid the mosque
and the oasis and the Marabout's tomb
In the half-light of the dawn it suggest
ed the blackness of tunnel. Lahada
thought for moment that he could
catch glimpse of white against the
rocks.
well, why don't you go on?" he ask
The major didn't answer. Lahada
suddenly felt that there was something
here he should be careful Of He look
ed back. Along the sides of the cara
van the cavalrymen seemed to have
thinned. The captain and the SER
geants turned their horses quietly and
trotted down the line. An idea came
into Lahada's head. He turned to the
major.
Send scouting party down that
road" he commanded
"Why should -" he heard the major
reply.
''If there are Arabs on the trail, the
scouts would warn u.s.
eff there are Arabs on the TRAIL"
the soldier replied coolly "the scouting
party will never return. If you are
afraid, why don't you turn your cara
van back?"
Lahada could hear the rattle of hoofs
in the distance. They grew fainter and
fainter. He could see no cavalrymen
now. On the crest of rocks he again
thought he saw flash of white. He
caught at the majors bride.
''Are there tribesmen on those rocks?"
his voice rose involuntarily "Tell me
at once!"
''How should l know, Effendi?"
Good God! the man was maddening.
IF there are, will you stand by us?"
he demanded fiercely. He felt he want
ed to take the major by the throat and
strangle him.
II have only platoon, Effendi. If
there are many Arabs, I can do moth
ing. I can't be expected to fight five
or six hundred of them. I can only
order you to retire. If you don't, I
must bring my own men out of action.
l can't sacrifice them
Lahada felt sure now they were to
be ambushed. The BashiBazouk wheel
ed his horse and awaited. There was
no fear on his face, Lahada could see
that; his big white teeth showed in a
saturnine smile. Under the red fez his
black eyes twinkled in amused contempt.
His adjutant, stock Albanian, with the
face of Cossack, glowered at Lahada

few who had worked by their hands
had teen cOOped in sWeatshOps until the
nerve and the spirit and the hearts

the race that nau been imprisoned in the
fOulsmelling GhettOs of Europe and
America, waging it's wars across counters
and in board rooms and law Offices fit
to cope with these wild men of the
desert, who cut their teeth on rifle bar
rels?
In two days they should reach the
edge of the desert and strike into the
fertile lands. Would they get through
unchaIlenged, he wondered? And if they
were attacked, what would happen?
Would the Bashi-Bazouks protect them,
or would they retreat and the caravan
become a shrleking, panic-stricken sham
bles, with the young men shot down be-
fore his eyes, and the old men dubbed
brutally to death at the least resistance,
and the women screaming as they were
dragged into tn, desert? Or would
and here he gave up puzzling in sheer
WEAKNESS. He had been fearing and hop
ing and wondering for ten days, anG
had got no answer.
Day was coming up. The noon had
turned from silver to yellow against
the western horizon. The sharp, black
silhouette of the caravan took on vague,
unreal lines. The sand that had glist-
ened white under the moon became
sea of dark grey mist, broken at inter-
q
looked like crests Of great waves, and ny
little islands of green brush and scrub.
Desert life was waking. Not a hun
dred yards away a gazelle raced past
in a streak Of brown, it's head stretch
ed forward and it's legs curving upward
like a galloping horse. Farther on

barKed viciously at the caravan. Some
where a pair of rock pigeons twittered
and cooed.
Ahead of them Lahada could see I
black splotch against the grey. That,
he knew, was Keir-Ghosn, the first stop
on the days march. 1t was a patch
of grey rock, as far as he could remem-
Der it, with a mosque and green oasis
and a marabout's tomb There should
be a travellers khan there, too, and d
fetid Mohammedan bazaar. They would
stop there for two hours and then push
on, until the heat of the day forced
them to camp.
They were making good Roadway. By
tomorrow night they would be on the
edge of the desert, and the valley of
the Euphrates would lie before them.
After Kefr-Ghosn there was only Sha-
shak. and after Shashak they were safe.
Then sort of panic seemed to grip
him in the breast. The caravan had
wavered and halted. Along the line
he could hear the voices of men calling
on mules and camels to STOP Somehow
he felt he should get at once to the

ADMIRAL BADGER
TELLS OF NEEDS
FOR BIGGER NAVY

Washington, Feb. 24-Rear Ad-
miraI Charles ]. Badger appeared be-
fore the House naval committee in
executive session today to disclose
their International considerations
which prompted the navy general
board last year to change it's policy
and declare for United States navy
to equal the strongest af1oat not later
than 1925.
He was also to discuss the time re-
quired to get the American fleet ready
for action agains ia first. class naval
power.
The discussion of the boards views
of the dangers that may confront the
nation was brought behind closed
doors at the request of Admiral Bad
ger yesterday when his examination
in open session was concluded. Rep
resentative Stephens of California,
asked if the board, in altering its
policy. did not have in
mind the possibility that the coun-
try might have to face simultaneous
1y foes in the Pacific and Atlantic.
Admiral Badger refused to discuss
the subject in DEATH ih open session.
He declared, however, that the only
sure protection for the Pacific coast
was a fleet capable of dominating the
Pacific ocean. He said the earth
slides in the Panama Canal made
impossible for at least another year
the rapid use for the passage of fleets
from one ocean to the other. He
withheld discussion of the canal sit
uation to the closed session.

COMMITTEES were at work on details of

Bounding business has distributed

The great surplus of energy in the

Many times it has shown $4,000 miles

ourselves to note that we have rightly

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 24-While
swinging through YaIesviIle. in Wal
Hngford, just south of Meriden last
night, train No. So, a New Haven ex-
press, running from Boston due in
New York at 9 O'Clock had mar
row escape from derailment that
scared the 200 passengers.
The piston rod of a locomotive
broke and before the engineer could
stop his train 1t had bumped along
for a. quarter of a mile, ripping up
the ties and roadbed and throwing
some OF the women passengers into
Mysteries. The engine stayed on the
rails and after some delay the train
was brought back to Meriden, where
another engine was substituted and
the trip to New York resumed about
two hours behind schedule.
The New Haven officials began an
investigation and experts went to
Meriden to examine the broken pis-
ton rod which had been recently pro-
nounced in good condition
The tracks are straight at the spot
where the rod broke. The big drtv-
ers acted with gyroscopic force to
keep the whole train on the rails.
