A NAME
  By EARL. REED SILVERS.

Two days before the Junior prom enade Shrimp" Black received by mail a delicious box of homemade fudge. Inclosed in the box was small piece of lavender paper, on, which were written the words. ''Tll see you at the dance. Gertrude"
 Shrimp drowned. He knew a good many girls, but for the life of him, he couldn't think of a single Gertrude among them. The package was post marked White Plains, N. Y, but this made the mystery only more baftiing. He didn't know q single person in White Plains.
 At the house party preceding the prom he examined the fair guests with unusual interest, wondering if by any possibility the one who had seat him the candy was among them. Seated directly opposite him at the supper table was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. Directly after sup per he presented himself for introduc- ton.
 "This is Miss Huntley of White Plains the chaperon announced.
 Shrimps heart stood still.
 Pm delighted to meet you." he stammered. T didn't know anyone was coming here from White Plains"
 She smiled up at him.
 ''Why not from White Plains?" she asked.
 "Oh, no reason at all," he assured her. Then he added, q know 6 girl in White Plains. Her name Is Ger trude:"
 What's her last name"
 q don't know"
 "What? You don't know?"
 "Tn tell you all about It," he an- nounced, ''if you'll tell me your first name.'
 But Shrimp was doomed to disap- pOintment, for at that psychological moment Bill Scudder, his roommate. appeared on the scene.
 eff you want to get to the dance on tfme," he advised Miss Huntley you'd better start getting dressed now.'
 According to the established custom of roommates, Shrimp and Bill Scud. der exchanged the second dance.

"I believe we were talking about names when we were interrupted" Miss Huntley began, as soon as they whirled off together. You were go- ing to tell me about that Gertrude, from White Plains"
 q was" Shrimp answered, "but I've concluded not to do it until you tell me your name"
 "We'l compromise" She threw back her head and smiled up at him. You tell me the story first, and then maybe I'll solve the mystery"
 1.-TWO days ago." Shrimp began, q received a box of candy from White Plains. In 1t was note from girl named Gertrude.'
 "What did the girl say in the note?' That she'd see me at the dance" And you haven't seen her yet?"
 "I don't know" Shrimp's eyes ques- toned her. "What do you think?'
 "Oh! I think you'll meet her, all right" She hummed softly. This Is a wonderful dance, isn't it?"
 The music stopped, and Shrimp led his partner to the porch of the gym- nasium.
 "You haven't told me your name" " he reminded her.
 "Well !" She hesitated, and the music for the next dance floated out to them. My first name is Doris" "Oh!" Shrimp's face registered dis appointment. Honest Indianf
 Honest and true" She looked at him with mock seriousness. Are you dreadfully disappointed?"
 Yes" Shrimp spoke dejectedly. Il had set my heart on your being Ger trude'
 Bill Scudder, glancing through the open door, saw them
 'This is my dance, Gertrude" he called.
 "So it isl Good-by, MT. Black"
 "Well, what do you know about that!" Shrimp watched until Scudder and the girl had disappeared.
 Finally, the evening wore away, and he found himself dancing with heI again.
 twill you please tell me what your first name really is?' he asked.
 She looked at him soberly.
 "On my honor," she answered, "my first name Is Doris"
 Then why did Bill call you Ger trude?"
 Because that's what all my friends call me-" She hesitated moment My name Is Doris Gertrude Hunt ley"
 "Oh!" Shrimp's face cleared. "Ant are you the girl who sent me the

 "Yes It was Bills idea he want ed to tease you"
 "Well, the old codgerp' Shrimp was silent for a moment, evidently debat, ing the wisdom of his next move, but finally he decided to plunge. "I ought to pay you back for that candy" he suggested.
 "Yes, you ought"
 Don't you think 1t would be good idea for me to give you box in re- turn?'

 If I sent It," Shrimp continued "it might get lost"

their sluggish faces; pasty, white-cheek-
ed tradespeople from England; stolid and
corpulent Germans: sharp, alert men
from Paris, who looked as if they would
be quite at home on the Boulevard des
Italiens and not at all on the Damascus
trail. The Spanish Jews, tall, swarthy,
and kook-nosed, seemed as if they were
living a poem, and in himself he fought
fear that they would be disillusioned,
But in the eyes of the women he no
ticed, the sight of the swelling Lebanon
hills seemed to renew the promise of

Surely he said to himself, these were
no desert men, this was no people to re-
found a nation and to rebuild ancient
cities and to battle with wind and
weather for their bread. 1t would have
been better, he felt, to have left them
to their streets, and to their buying and
selling, and to their moving picture
houses and dance halls. The burden Of
the Ghetto had lain too heavily on them.
They had started from Beirut with
their platoon of red-feZed, beetle brOWed,
contemptuous Turkish cavalry on each
side of them, and, Lahada noticed,
look of shamefaced apprehension. The
snarling protest of the camels the flash
ing colors of the Syrian town, and the
GRIM grey outline of the desert they
were to cross seemed to scare them
Their faces blanched when they spoke
of the roaming Kurds and Arabs against
whom the black-uniformed BashiBazouk
guard with their short, workmanlike
rifles were to protect them.
But out in the desert they plucked Up
courage, where Lahada had feared they
would break up and plead to be sent to Es
sen and Warsaw and New York and Mar
settles. They examined the desert silently,
as prospectors might do, and looked
at the stretch of grey sand and greenish
grey rocks and stumps of brush with
wide, inquisitive eyes. At first they whis
pered to one another like intruders and
stepped back fearfully when chameleon
scuttled up a rock or a lizard flashed
beneath their feet in streak of silver.
They watched Lahada on his big bay
mare as school children watch the leader
of their outing, and Lahada watched
them more closely STILL and little by
little he saw their strides grow longer,
and heard their voices rise from whis-
pers to a drone of conversation, and
then to CHEEKY, encouraging shouts to
one another, and he noticed their eyes
fixed confidently on the horizon where
one morning the terraced Mesopotamian
valley would rise green and lush before
them.
He rode up the line on the first morn
ing's march, and stopped in front of little
Miriam Schultz, who had left an East

lu0Ic Was SOmoCuluS luCOuSTuOuS
about the old rabbi, Lahada puzzled. His
grey donkey fitted in with the Syrian
night, and his aquiline nose, piercing
eyes, and white, patriarchal beard seem
ed to embody the spirit of the East; but
there was some note Earring. And in
flash he discovered it, 1t was the coat
and trousers of clerical black. Put him
in the burnoose he thought, and the pic
ture was perfect.
The caravan of Hebrew colonists had
left Beirut ten days before on it's way
to the Mesopotamian settlements. For
two miles behind him and one in front
Lahada could see the long line of camels,
pack dromedaries, donkeys, and mule
drawn wagons wind through the desert
like a river. All around him like the
playing of a muted orchestra, he could
hear the tinkle of innumerable camel
bells, the soft crunch of dromedaries'
pads in the sand, and the rumble and
whine of car wheels. Away in the dis
lance there was the vibrant grOwl of a
lioness, which began in a deep bass and
ended in a shrill treble. The moon hung
westward in a flaming white disk.
Lahada knew the trail we'll. Seven
years before, when he was still stu
dent in Barcelona, lie had gone to Dam
ascus and Baalbek as secretary to the
Spanish archeologist Carada. In thai
brief six months the barren desert coun-
try had stolen into his blood like a
fever And in the night time, when he
sat around the red campfres of the
Bedouins, he had dreamed Of grey tents

sand years ago when his own people had
journeyed out of Egypt into the wilder
ness and from the wilderness to the
land of milk and honey.
Then he would wake up from his
dreaming with shamefaced laugh. It
was too impossible! he said to himself.
And here he was tonight leading three
thousand of them back as thirty cen
turtles ago the host had been led by
Moses!
When the call of the Zionist leaders
had swept from temple to temple, urging
the people to put from them their rows
of figures and dingy shops and flashing
needles and peddlers' packs, and to re-
turn whence they came, he felt his spirit

before When his application to lead
one of the caravans to the Euphrates
country had been accepted, he had gone
around dazedly, hardly daring to believe
it was true. To the central committee
he was merely young enthusiastic Jew
ish student, who knew the trail and
spoke Arabic But in himself he felt
that his expedition with Carada and
his dreams by the black Bedouin tents
were a foreordained preparation for the
work.
The caravan had gathered in Beirut,
and he felt for the first time that the
dream of a new Zion was perhaps
futility. There were men from New
York there, shrewd, crafty-looking fel

it all before. l wonder if I could have
dreamt it?"
perhaps you did," he answered light
ly; but he felt his heart bound within
him, for his vision was coming true.
How utterly simple it was, after all!
Here was this tract of fertile land want
ing colonists, and here were the people
who owned and titled 1T when the world
was young returning to own and till it
again. Why couldn't they have done so
before now? Why should they have slav-
ed and suffered and been outcasts and
parahs for centuries when they had
only to come back? Why should they
have been SCARED and hacked in the ad-
vance westward when they could have
been secure and prosperous in retreat?
Why should old Borsky have gone
through the horrors of Kishineff, and
Carcassonne been spat on by his fellow
conscripts in Algiers, and Oppenheim
taken the insults of coarse German stu
dents? They were forced to; they had to
live. But why not have come back before
now? And suddenly he remembered the
long years of bondage in Egypt while the
Promised Land lay across the waters be-
fore them, and they had been delayed
in going forth. He questioned himself
no further
Well, they were on their way at last,
thank Cod This was the vanguard Of
them. 1t might take years and tens of
years and perhaps centuries before they
could all foregather; but it had begun.
That was the main thing. Already the
shrewd, trafficking look in their eyes
had turned into the keen, observant gaze
of scouts. PaSty faces were becoming
a healthy olive. Bowed backs, were
Strengthening by inches. Lahada noticed
with surprise how like the Arabs and
the Redouins of the desert the colonists
looked, the same hooked nose, the same
swarthy coloring, the same deep-set, keen
black eye Surely they were on their
own ground at last!
But what of the Kurds and Arabs and
the nomad tribes? What if they should
attack them? That was the question
that has been eating into his mind like
a maggot since they left Beirut. The
contemptuous, inimical Bashi-Bazouks
might turn treacherous and leave them
to the mercy of the tribesmen. What
would they do then?

your people back but the Turkish soldier
and the Arab do not. In short, they
have always hated you, and always will.
And they will do everything they can to
prevent your settling in the country"

mouth puckered into puzzled thin line.

Dover Rights.
BREWER ADMITTED
MARRIAGE, SHE SAYS
Hopes to Prove Legitimacy OF
Son In New Suit Against
Mrs. Phipps.

Boise, Idaho, May 14.-Mrs. George
Washington Adams, of Boise, denied
to-day that she had abandoned efforts
to recover alleged dover rights to New
York City real estate valued at mill
ions and once owned by the late Ed
ward Tracy, wealthy brewer, whose
legal wife Mrs. Adams claims to have
been.
Discussing action taken by her at
torneys in New York last week in sixty
Of her suits to recover property now IN
the possession of Andrew Carnegie,
Mrs. Henry c. Phipps. Arthur and Will
lam Iselin and others, Mrs. Adams SAID
that the suits merely were discontinued
for the present, as she was not ready
for trial and wanted to avoid judgment
by default. Her chiof reason for bring
ing the suits, she said, was that she
hoped to prove the legitimacy OF her
son, Charles Nelson, and to win Tor
him a half interest in the huge estate
left by Tracy.
Mrs. Adams asserted that after going
through a marriage ceremony with
Tracy at Athens, n. Y. in 1872, Tracy
told her that the minister who married
them was not regularly ordained. she
left him, she said, and several years
afterward married Adams in Idaho.

The case against Mrs. Phipps was
taken I'D by the plaintiff first and came
up for trial twice, in January and

second time il was summarily as
