TRIBES WITHOUT THE Law
And They, the kurds, Dwell in a Land

Nor Roads.

The origin of the Kurds has not
been satisfactorily settled, but it is
believed that in their veins flows the
blood Of Chaldeans, Babylonians and
Assyrians. In early times the Kurds
preferred mountains for their place

then, as they do now, in being called
"Gurdu,' title which signifies war.

known in the occident as Kurds, and
number about 100000, and have their
abodes mostly in kurdistan. Their
land. which is extremely mountainous,
rises to the east Of the upper Tigris
in the direction of Urumiah. The area
of this space is 10000 square miles.
There is not mile OF railway in the
whole country. and neither is there q

goodness. He could not believe that
Lily Holmes was really the sort of girl
she professed to be-well, not pro
tossed. for she professed nothing, but,
at any rate, gave the appearance of
being.
He had taken her out to lunch and
eelt that his conquest was almost COM
plete. He could not imagine any girl
resisting him, the millionaire. with
reputation for gailantry that had led
demi-mondaines to throw themselves
into his arms. When he told Lily that
he was going to call on her he be-
lieved that she understood as well
as he.
And he called that night, dressed
for the part. He meant to take her
out to supper He wore silk hat and
gardenia. He had no doubt that he
would find her. arrayed in the latest
style. in some bachelor girls quarters.
Lily opened the door herself.
"Ccme in. Mr.. Anderson" she said
gayly. Father and mother are so
anxious to meet YOU
Anderson thought this was a jest.
He entered the room. to find an elder.
ly couple awaiting him. The father,
who wore a long, white beard. had his
hand on an open Bible. The mother
was simple. country woman, with q
kind face that reminded Anderson Of
his own mother.
Anderson felt his blood run thick.
Then he felt both ashamed and morti-
fed.
PLEASED to meet you, sir" said the
old man. my girl has often told me
of your Kindness to her"
Don't mention it," said Andersen,
wondering what sort of trick Lily
Holmes had played ON him, and how
soon he could escape.
my daughter was fortunate to find
30 kind gentleman as yourself" said
the mother warmly. 1T isn't often in
these times that an employer takes it
upon himself to look after his stenog-
raphers like you do. Lily has told me
how you took her out to lunch last
week."
"Yes-yes," said Anderson nerv.
ously.
Presently. after a little further con.
versation, the old couple rose. "And
now we'll leave you. sir" said the ia
Their. I'VE may be little behind the
times, not being long resident in New
York. but guess we know enough not
to be in the way when our girl has
callers"
And with shrewd look that was al.
most a wink the old man left the
room, his wife upon his arm.
Anderson sat staring foolishly at
Lily. It was true, then. She was
really entirely unsuspicious of the
part he had expected her to play! She
had really thought that he was inter.
ssted in her welfare. And she had

SELECT TREES WITH CARE
Matter Worth Great Consideration by
the One Who Is Planning a
Real Home.

Now that the process of tree NOV
ing is so successful, it is a simple
matter to annex and preserve as ones
own specimens of the numerous beau
tiful trees which the countryside
dweller is apt to run across in his
woodland rambles.
Do not make the mistake, however,
Of thinking that any kind of tree
can be planted in any place; selec-
tions need to be made with intelli-
gence and due regard to drainage and
soil.
The over-changing beauty Of the
mountain maple makes it an unusu-
ally satisfactory tree for ornamental
planting. The branches in winter are
beautiful in coloring, as in spring are
the buds and blossoms, followed m
summer by the developing fruits.
The wild plum tree, too, has possi-
bilities which too many people fail to
recognize. The blossoms of this tree
are the nearest we get to the cherry
blossom display of the Japanese, and
although their beauty endures for only
brief season, the trees are especially
desirable when planted along rocker
les or along walls.
