with new people and had learned to
observe their ways, and ever and Anon
found a congenial spirit. 1t was all in
a days companionship, however, and
he made only casual acquaintances.
The great modern capitals did not
attract him. The historic held all of
compelling interest. Egypt, India, the
Ganges, the Euphrates, Asia Minor, the

times held much of fascination for
him. One day at an obscure town

forth alone. The natives offered guide

traversed a beautiful valley when he
found dusk just approaching. His
compass gave him no hint of the prox-
unity of settlement or hamlet. 1t
guided him north, however, and he
knew that somewhere in that direction
lay Mahdi.
A full, glorious moon lighted his
way and enhanced the rare beauty and
grandeur of his environment. He had
about decided to unpaek, eat and
spread his blankets for a full night
rest, when he noted a flag waving in
the near distance. He kept it in sight
and came to board enclosure, when
the tinkling of a bell attracted him.
Beyond the spiked fence he made out
a man. He wore a bell strapped TO
his knee.
"Can you take me in for the night"
called Wayne across the fence but the
man inside waved his arms dissenting
