5 out of 9 on a Pullman

A random test was recently
made in a crowded Pullman Club
Car-and it was found that, of the
men who were smoking cigarettes,
S out of 9 were smoking Fatimas.
Probably an unusually high per-
centage even for Fatimas; but this
case is merely one of the many
evidences that more and more
representative men are now-a-
days choosing a sensible cigarette.
Evening journal., 1917-04-10

They smoke Fatimas-nOt alone
for their hkeable taste-but for
the common sense ''man-comfort"
that they find in this delicately
balanced Turkish blend. Fatimas
please the throat and tongue tOhiIe
you are smoking them-and they
leave you feeling 'ft'' afterwards.
You don't have to think of "how
many" when you are smoking a
sensible cigarette like Fatima.

DR, VON kLE|NSM|D
 SAYS UNIVERSITIES
 PLAY PART IN WAR


 TUCSON. Ariz.. May 2S.-Dr R. B. von KleinSmid, president of the Uni yersity of Arizona has just returned from Washington, D. C.. where he has hcen attending conferences relative to food conservation and to the part that universities must play in the present conflict Probably of more interest to the students of the university was the probable effect of the conflict on future registration. Dr. von KleinSmid gave this phase of the subject considerable prominence in talk before the student body assembly, in which he said in part:
 There are several things that came 10 me during the days of work in Washington that I thought particularly important to us as an institution of learning I spent perhaps an hour and q half with the federal commission of education. l was very anxious for you and for the institution here, that we should waste no time in mere eXperi- mentation. that there should be no energy wasted in foOling around with gases, etc, but that we might have the concentrated and best judgment of the country. and so far as We can, step out and act upon the basis of that judg- ment.
 There has been a call for some 10000 engineers to go te France immediately, and they are now being moblllzed. After this 10000 men have gone there will be needed 10000 more. It is esti- mated that 5O,000 engineers are actually needed Our colleges are turning out great army of them this June; last June they did likewise The country can spare 1J,000, but if more than that number go their loss would be felt keenly., In other lines men are being called for, men who have had college training; without this college train ing they would be of little use; they would be in the way if sent over to France A selected, picked class of men are needed right now, and these men we are sending out this year and next from our universities.
 What if the war ends in a year. asked him. He stated that then our work really begins, for Europe's tech nical skill is spent-absolutely gone The English the French, the German and the Italian universities have all been attempting to run with about one third of the enrolment, with military training taking the center of the stage the curriculum shot to pieces the teaching force scattered and the stu dent body that is left not of the best material So we are not expecting much of the European universities and technical schools after the war
 Tn other words, the United States must serve the world. In the days of reconstruction England, France, Ger many and Italy will all be clamorins for trained men from the United States of America. Now, shall we be short sighted and say, I can serve now with partial training; therefore I am going or shall we be little cooler

case and offered it open to Courtenay,
who hesitated, and then helped him.
self. King refused.
Major Courtenay has just told me-"
said King, 'that nobody resembling
Yasmini has gone up the pass recently.
Can you explain?"
"Do you mean, can I explain why
the major failed to see her? Pom my
soul, King sahib, d'you want me. to
insult the man? Yasmini is too jolly
clever for me. or for any other man
ever met; and the majors man, isn't
he? He may pack the Khyber so full
of men that there's only standing room
and still she'll go up without his leave
if she chooses! There is nobody like
Yasmini in all the world J"
The Hangar was boxing past him,
facing the great gorge that lets the
north Of Asia trickle down into India
and back again when weather and the
tribes permit. His eyes had become
interested in the distance: King Won
dered why--and looked-and saw.
Courtenay saw, too.
"Hail that man and bring him here -
he ordered.
Ismail, keeping his distance with
ears and eyes peeled, heard instantly
and hurried off. Fifteen minutes later
an Afridi stood scowling in front of
them with little letter in cleft stick
in his hand He held it out and Cour-
tenay took it and shifted.
"Well-Pll be blessed! A note
sniff-sniff-"on scented paper" Sniff
sniff! Carried down the Khyber in a
split stick Take it, Knights adj
dressed to you."
King obeyed and shifted too. It
smelt of something far more subtle
than musk. He recognized the same
strange scent that had been waited
from behind Yasmini's silken hangings
in her room in Delhi. AS he unfolded
the note-it WAS not sealed-he found
time for swift glance at Rewa Gun
gas face. The Hangar seemed inter-
ested and amused. The note, in Eng
lish ran:
''Dear Captain King: Kindly be
quick to follow me, because there is
much talk of lashkar getting ready for
a raid. I shall wait for you in Khinjan,
whittier my messenger shall show the
way. Please let him keep his rife. Trust
him, and Rewa Gunga and my thirty
whom you brought with you. The mes
senger's name is Darya Kahn. Your serv-
ant Yasmini."
He passed the note to Courtenay,
who read it and passed it back.
"I'll find out" the major muttered,
show she got up the pass without my
knowing it. Somebody's tail shall be
twisted for this -
But he did not find out until King
told him, and that was many days
later, when a terrible cloud no longer
threatened India from the north.

Not far from taem a herd of pack
camels grunted and dubbed after the
evening meal. The evening breeze
brought the smoke of dung fires down
to them, and an Afghan-one of the
little crowd of traders who had come
down with the camels three hours ago
sang wailing song about his lady
love. Overhead the sky was like black
velvet, pierced with silver holes.
"You see, you can't call our end of

Courtenay. 1.-TWO battalioDs of Khy-
Der rifles, hired t6s held the pass

Didn't believe she'd gone. Yet all my
men swear they know she has gone,
and not one of them viii own to hav-

that?"
For a while, as be ate Courtenay's
broiled quail, King did not answer.
But the merry smile had left his eyes
and he seemed for once TO be letting
his mind dwell on conditions as they
concerned himself.
'sHow many men have you at the
fort?' he asked at last.

CHAPTER Win.

After time King urged his horse to
a jog-trot, and they trotted forward
until the bed of the Khyber began to
grow very narrow, and Ali Masjid fort
could not be much more than a mile
away, at the widest guess. Then King
drew rein and dismounted, for he
would have been challenged had he
ridden much farther. A challenge In
the Khyber after dark consists inva-
riably Of volley at short range, with
the mere words afterward, and the
wise man takes precautions.
"Off with the mules packS!" he or
dered, and the men stood round and
stared. Darya Khan, leaning on the
only rifle in the party, grinned like a
2ost-office letter box.
"Truly," growled Ismail, forgetting
past expressions of different opinion.
"this man is as mad as all the other
Englishmen."
"Were you ever bitten by one" won
dered King aloud.
"God Forbid"
"Then off with the packs-and
hurry!'
Ismail began to obey.
"Thou! Lord of the Riversi (For
that is what Darya Khan means.)
What is thy calling?"
"Badragga" (guide), he answered.
"Did she not send me back down the
pass to be guide? If she says I am
badragga, shall any say she liesf"
81 say thou art unpacker of mules
burdens!" answered King. "Begin !"
For answer the fellow grinned from
ear to ear and thrust the rifle barred
forward insolently. King, with the
movement of determination that man
makes when about to force conclu-
sions, drew up his sleeves above the
wrist. At that instant the moon shone
through the mist and the gold bracelet
glittered in the moonlight.
MAY God be with theev said lord
of the Rivers" at once. And without
another word he laid down his rifle
and went to help off-load the mules.
King stepped aside and cursed soft
ly. But for vein of wisdom that un-
derlay his pride he would have pock-

cheroots, and with hands clasped be-
hind him strolled over to the fort to
interview Courtenay, the officer COM
handing.
1t so happened that Courtenay had
gone up the pass that morning with his
shotgun after quail. He came back
into view, followed by his little ten
man escort just as King neared the
fort, and King timed his approach so
escort were heavily burdened; he could
see that from distance.
"Hellol" he said by the fort gate,
cheerily, after he had saluted and the
salute had been returned
"Oh, hello, King! Glad to see you.
Anything I can do?"
~Tell me anything you know" said
King, offering him cheroOt, which the
other accepted. AS he bit off the end
they stood facing each other, SO that
King could see the oncoming escort
and what it carried. Courtenay read
his eyes.
"Two of my men!" he said. found

So"
'Who'S supposed to be leading it?
"Can't find out" said Courtenay.
Then he stepped aside to give orders
to the escort. They carried the dead
bodies into the fort.
"Know anything Of Yasmini?" King
asked, when the major stood in front
of him again.
"By reputation, of course. yes. Fa-

And that was all he ever did say

nay
Here's wishing you luck!" said
King. IT'S time to go, sir"
He rose, and Courtenay walked with
him to where his party waited in the
dark, chilled by the cold wind whis-
Ting down the Khyber. Rewa Gunga
sat, mounted, at their head, and close
to him his personal servant rode an
other horse. Behind them were the
mules, and then lin cluster, each
with load of some~sort on his head,
were the thirty prisoners, and Ismail
took charge of them officiously.
Darya Khan, the man who had
brought the letter down the pass, kept
close to ISmail.
King mounted and Courtenay shook
hands; then he went to Rewa Gunga's
side and shook hands with him, too.
Forward! March!" King ordered,
and the little procession started.
ooh, men of the Hills We look like
ghosts - like graveyard ghosts !"
jeered Courtenay, as they all filed
past him. "Ye look like dead men,
going to be Judged"
Nobody answered. They strobe
behind the horses, with the swift, 81
lent strides of men who are going
home to the Hills" but even they,
