LOST
Romance Has Vision,

The young gentleman who wrote his
name on an egg shipped from his IA
Tiers farm together with the state
ment that he wanted "nice little
wife" notes the Barlow fFla) Cour-
ier.Informant. has received n blow In
the answer from woman who replied
briefly and effectively, "You poor
boob |"
HAS Romance Died?" Is the cap
ton put on the story by an editor who
prints it. That question is easy to an
swer. Romance is dcathless. But the
woman who got the inscribed egg had
sense enough to know that the type Of
romance Indicated was q nlmsy sort on
which to build q life work.
Love may be blind, but the true ro-
nance has vision. And 1T requires a
more substantial foundation than an
eggshell.
May the sentimental youth find a
sensible happiness around the corner.
One doesn't need to wish romance for
the iconoclastlc young woman. She'll
get hers all right.

cause the trains running North were
nearly empty. although the platforms
were all crowded. AS he stood at the
carriage door with Ismail near him, a
man named Saunders slipped through
the crowd and sought him out.
ARRESTED 'em all! !" he grinned.
King did not answer. He was watch
ing Rewa Gunga, followed by serv-
ant, hurrying to reserved compart-
ment at the front end of the train. The
Hangar waved to him and he waved
back.
The engine gave preliminary shrek
and the giant Ismail nudged Kings
elbow In impatient warning. There
was no more sign of Rewa Gunga, who
had evidently settled down in his COM
partment for the night.
"Get my bag out again y King or.
dered, and Ismail stared.
"Get out my bag, I said.'
''To hear is to obey" Ismail grum.
bled. reaching with his long arm
through the window.
The engine shrieked again, some.
body whlstled, and the train began
to move.
"You've missed it," said Saunders.

While he began to write more than
a dozen dancing women swept into the
room from behind the silk hangings In
concerted movement that was all
1.-THE slumberous grace. Woodwind
music called to them from the great
deep window. They began to chant,
stll dreamly, and with the chant the
dance began, in and out, round and
round, lazily, ever so laziy, wreathed
In bu0yant gossamer that was scarcely
more solid than the sandalwood smoke
they waited into rings.
King watched them and listened to
their chant until he began to recognize
the strain on the eye muscles that pre-
cedes the mesmeric spell Then he
wrote and read what he had written
and wrote again. Ri't-' III H''+

SMOKING Backwards.

The pecullarties Of the ancient
smokers are themselves a study as
well as an education. The negrltos
smoke with the lighted end OF the
cigar in their mouth-let the reader
picture in his mind man smoking
with the lighted end of cigar or

The Dellrium Of Arabs.

Observation by travellers aud others
who have visited In Palestine show
that the Arabs IS the Syrian Desert
have an extraordinary fondness for
tobacco. A few whiffs make them
giddy and give them a headache. Even
cigarette is too much for them. A
common smoke among Arabs consists
of the dry leaves of plant belonging
to the genus Hyoscyamus, and called
by the Arabs "Sekharan." It has
tlcshy leaves and purple flowers. The
smoking OF these leaves produces n
sort Of intoycation or delirium, which
the Arabs prefer to the "white mans
smoke"

CHAPTER v.

The rear lights of the train he had
not taken swayed out of Delhi station
and King grinned as he wiped the
sweat from his face with dripping
handkerchief. Behind him lowered the
hook-nosed Ismail, resentful of the I'M
expected. In front Of him Saunders
eyed the profrercd black cheroots sus-
piciously, accepted one with an air Of
curiosity and passed the case back.
Around them the clatter of the station
crowd began to die, and Parsimony
in a shabby uniform went round to
lower lights.
"Are you sure"
Kings merry eyes looked into Saun.
ders' as If there were no world war
really and they two were puppets in a
comedy.

NO." said Saunders. "What I swear
to is thntf she has not left by train.
She's the most elusive individual in
Asia! One person in the world knows
where she Is, unless she has an accom-
plIce. My information's negative. l
know she has not gone by"
King struck match and held 1t
out, SO the sentence was unfinished ;
