BOMBING THE
ENEMY DUMPS

Behind the British Lines in France,
Aug. 2s.-(CorrespOndchee Of The
Associated Press. THE British avn
alton communique frequently con-
tains a brief line to record that "di-
rect hits were obtained upon an en-
envy dump at "some point behind the
German lines" This colorless an
nouneement may seem 20 the reader
in America nothing more than the
record Of a dull piece Of routine
but the deed itself is different from
It's record.
American airmen attached to the
British squadrons have long since
found out that the business Of bomb
ing dumps" often is exciting and
spectacular work. Moreover, the i'm.
portance Of its effect upon enemy
plans and operations can hardly be
exaggerated. A welLaimed hit on
store Of German ammunition may
destroy the work Of many months
in the munition factories. and Grip
pie numerous batteries for many
long days.
A British airman, Lieutenant w. A.
Barnes, has given The Associated
Press the following account Of a
recent 5s-minute raid on a German
dump as characteristic Of this form
Of activity:
"on this particular night there
was not enough moonlight for a long
raid. SO the target given us was
a German ammunition dump. We well

situated as near as possible TO the
firing line; and SO mean short raids.
Dumps are by no means easy
targets to find at night, for they are
seldom situated near my definite
landmarks. and are usually well cam

On Monday there will be a new

have been notified must report at
the Court House Monday morning at

Der Of men have changed their adj

.'Daoud Effendi Is injured-and another.
Summon an arabeah. We go to the
hospital" he ordered to his lieutenant.
"A man will go ahead to warn them that
we are coming. AS for the others-search
the Khan for two Franks-with stained
faces, a man in Bed-awee robes and a
woman in native dress. You will report
to me hourly"
The officer saluted and departed at
quick trot followed by his men. And in
short while the carriage arrived, into
which the injured men were put and driven
hurriedly to the Kasr-en-Nil barracks.
II certain persons In New York, familiar
only with the bored figure of Mr.. Jessup,
Strolling YEARLY to and from his club or
sitting idly in the club window, had called
him "numbskull" they were merely exer-
cising an inalienable right Of free speech
which belongs to the envious as we'll as to
the charitable. Certain 1t is that recov-
cry from the terrific blow upon the head
by the frenzied Khateeb was proof that his
skull was fashioned Of something less vul-
nerable than mere flesh and bone.
II is true that his skull was slightly
fractured and that for some days he suf-
fered from an abominable headache, but
by the time he reached the military hos
pital he had already recovered conscious
ness and was able before being put to bed
to answer the fervid questions Of Northby
Pasha. Daoud Effendi was less fortunate,
for one of Won Hengels bullets had gone
into his body and 1t was matter Of some
weeks before he could be back in line

But the abduction OF Constance Master
son by Won Hengel-for there was now
no reason to doubt the fact-seemed to
awaken Alan Jessup to sense Of the
disaster which had befallen, and in spite
OF his injuries he fought hard to be per-
mitted to go out upon the following day
and try to pick up the thread Of his ad-
venture where 1t had been 50 rudely
broken. And so it took the combined
persuasive efforts Of Northby and the
doctors to keep him quiet for forty-eight
hours. while Northby reported that every
thing In the power Of the Police Depart
ment was being done to find the lost tran.
Nothing definite had been accomplished
perhaps, but q clue or two had been found
and there was . hope that By the time the
American was up and about there would
be some thing more tangible to report.
To make the matter more serious, froEH
Northby's point Of view. the Duchess Of
Barehester had come down from Alexan-
dria In person to make inquiries and to
stimulate the Goyernorat to further ef-

OF uncertainty and obeyed. Northby
waited until sure that they would not re-
turn and then quickly went to the outside
door and opened 1t, calling Ali Afdal, and
with the Moo-ed-din's help. in a few
moments the two mem had been removed

Northby groaned inwardly. His own
stupidity rs much as Ais, was responsible
for the Germans escape, but there was
nothing to do now but try to repair
damages. Two shrill blasts upon his
whistle and his men came briskly from

Standing nearby, his frenzied expression
as he gazed at the helpless figure Of the
intruder indicating only too clearly the
meaning of the long curved sword in his
hands, stood the black-bearded Khatecb.
The Eazir and the other Imam paused
in their terrible act Of devotion and sacri-
nee and the wailing ceased in a gasp, AZ
they saw the levelled weapon and heard
the crisp accents Of command. The Arabic
Of Northby Pasha was more eloquent even
than his weapon.
-Stopi command you, or By the head
Of the Imam. son Of Ali, whose servant
thou art, I win make a different sacrifice

The Khateeb with the sword, after one
startled motion backward, rushed forward
at Northby, his sword flashing dangerous

Northby's feet.

forts. Indeed, the Sirdar himself had
called the intelligence officer to the paI-
ace and the reputation Of Northby Pasha
was now at stake.
Alan Jessup in his bed at the military
hospital knew nothing of the high agen-
cies that were working in Constance Mas
terson's behalf and squirmed impatiently,
aware of his own responsibility in permit
ting the girl to be endangered. Connie
had always done precisely as she pleased
as FAR as Alan was concerned, but the dis
astrous result of his leniency gave him
true measure of his own weakness and in
efficiency.
He seemed to realize with a sort of
physical shock the careless way in which
he had looked upon life. This was the first
time that he had ever had definite aim
something difficult to accomplish. He
had been really awake for a few hours,
thrilled and joyous even las Constance had
once wished him to bel with the prospect
of doing a great service to some one for
some great end, merely for the sake OF
doing II. Fortune had helped him-Kismet
had played into his hands even-and he
had failed. not only failed Of his great
object to capture Won Hengel and the
Kaba Stone, but lost Constance as well
and subjected her to nameless dangers.

off his coat and hat and put them on the
ground, addressing Ali sternly.

devoted to this man of white skin and
Christian faith who had helped them to
make Egypt what Ishe was. He passed
many people going away from the Mosque
and knew that the ceremonies we're over.
But Northby Pasha felt certain that the
business which Won Hengel had in hand
would be transacted when the Nazir and
the two Imams had finished their prayers
and readings In the sanctuary.
Never had he so desired to enter the
sacred Mosque. His men were privileged,
Of course, but there was not one OF them
who could be trusted with this mission.
Years Of dealing with Eastern problems
made him realize that none Of them would
tolerate a violation of the sanctuary of
Hasaneyn by q Christian on the night of
the Ashoora.
So he laid his plans quickly and silently.
disposing his men at all the entrances to
the building, telling them that a Christian
bent on mischief to the cause of the
Faithful had entered the building, and CIV
ing them instructions to arrest any one
