He heard sounds now and tried to dis

raised in clamor or lamentation, and
closer to him another sound like the groan
OF some one in pain. He had taken the
precaution to remove his shoes in the YES

The Mosque Of

from the Intrusion of
those not of the Mus

JessHp had entered in
disguise, hoping to
achieve by diplomacy
and ste a1th what
would have been i'm
possible otherwise.
What had they accom-
plished? 1t was a
dangerous venture for
the American, who
rushed in where 9TH
ers more versed in
tne customs OF the
East would not have
dared. And the fact
that one of his best
men, Daoud, had coun-
selled this course,
showed the desperate
ness Of the eypedient.
After all, II was no
more desperate a ven
ture than Won Hengel
had taken.
There was only one
thing left for Northby
to do surround the
Hasaneyn, sblock all
exits, and then send

course brought no re-
