Mr.. Red-Winged Blaekbird was sit

bay. He was thinking. sand it was.
nice to sit there thinking such pleas
ant thoughts on such pleasant day.
He was wondering. II Miss Red
Winged Blackbird would4-he hoped
she would and she had almost told him
she would. At least she hadn't told.
him so for she was too shy and too
well-behaved a Miss Red Winged
Blackbird to be quite so bold.
But somehow he did feel that she
liked him and he knew that he liked
her. So his thoughts were very pleas
ant and he felt sure that his own spe-
cial little love story would turn out
just right sga
He wasn't going to hurry about ask
ing her this very minute because he
was enjoying thinking about how he
would do it.
He stood up on the stump several
times in several different ways, first
with his head cooked to the right, then
with his head cooked to the left, and
then with his head very straight in
deed.
And he said over to himself, Miss
Red-Winged Blackbird, / love you.
Will you be my mater"
And then he practiced saying it this
way, Il love you Miss Winged
Blackbird, and / would be glad to get
bugs and worms for you through life."
And then he tried how 1t would
sound to say, Let us share home

live here on bush, near the marshy
bay. 1t is going to be fashionable

and would like to give you a fash

Then, in the. distance he saw Miss
RedWinged BlacEbird flying off, and
suddenly he thought what silly bird
he had been.
He became quite worried for he
wondered if by any chance any other

asked her firstsi and perhaps she was

And his thoughts became very sad
instead of joyful and he hurriedly left
his stump and quickly arose in the air
flying after Miss Red-Winged Black
bird.
He called shrill call, but she didn't
turn around. She didn't want to ap-
pear too anxious to see Mr.. RedzWing-
ed Blackbird.

Nanoleon,s Drill Book.

Some curious finds are being made
by French inhabitants returning to
the lands recently wrested from the
grasp of the enemy. In the library of
a ruined chateau was found a note
book bearing on its title page the
signature Napoleon Bonaparte." The
book was dated at the time when he
was corporal, and was filed with
notes referring to foot drill. In an
other case, dugout, once a German

head, he completely forgot what
speeches he had planned to make.
He completely forgot everything ex-
cept Miss Red Winged Blackbird, and
that she was beautiful in her brown

And Miss Red-Winged Blackbird
didn't care what sort of d speech he
made, for she had been dreadfully
worried when he hadn't come to see
her, but had been sitting on the stump
SO long and so quietly. -*'"-'S's- -

he said again.
Then he sang again, a most beauti-

Miss Red-Winged Blackbird sang soft

He made a low bow when he had
finished and said II would love to al
ways sing for you. would love to al

respect, and there the merchants hung
such things as cords, nets and girdles
out into the street, and often sat in
front of their shops.
The Suk ell Bizar (grain market) is
broader street, and lighter, since it is
not vaulted in, but, as many more
people congregated there, progress was
as difficult as in the butchers street.
This was the busy part; in every other
region of the Moslem quarter hardly
soul was to be seen at some hours OF
the day, except in Karat Bah el'Amud
(the street of the Damascus Gate),
and Karat Bah Sitti Miriam (street Of
Our Lady Mary's Gate), where grocers
did an active trade, the fellahin from
the eastern country buying necessaries
there just before leaving the town. A

projecting baskets Of rice, nuts, lentils,
ETC., from II a. m. to 1. .. m, signify

suInably at prayers in the adjacent
Haram. The protection was more real
than any police measures could have
secured.
Z. In the Crowded Grain Market
IN the Suk ell Bizar the throng was
sometimes so great that it was impos-
.sible to advance step; especially was
this the case when a long string of
camels loaded with grain made It's way
to the wheat bazaar, the small square
underneath a vault which gives the
street it's name. Wheat and barley,
lentils and dhurra. or maize, are here
poured on big heaps and sold to the
public. The official appointed to meas.
ure out the grain in the Tabbeh (about
eight rotls) or Sa' (half Tahbeh) is
quite serious and important person.
age. Filling his measure, he will begin
by announcing Allahu Ahad (God is
One), and continues saying this till
the first tabbeh is in the sack. "Two,"
three" he says at every measure, till
he comes to seven, when he says same
ha (pardon), instead of saba (seven).
The number seven, being that of the
princes Of the jam (genis). must not
be named while handling grain for fear
tee jam should carry of the blessing.

The crowd is exasperating at times
though comical incidents occur occa-
sionally. AS / slowly pushed my way
forward one day, stopping to avoid
huge sacks, European snob, anxious
to escape being crushed, stood in q
corner, wearing new straw hat. Hats
are, as rule, disliked by orientals. The
European, in derision, is often called

tice in crowd. A camel, waiting to
pass, looked round casually, put out his
huge lips, seized the strange straw
basket, and in one bite ate half the
hat, to the distress of Mr.. Snob and the
delight of the by-standers.
The north and northeast portion as
far as the Temple Area was most ex-
clusively Moslem. Like the butchers
and the spicers, the gold and silver
smiths, the blacksmiths and the cop
persmiths and other workers had their
separate streets, the last named near
the dyers; but many began to feel the
influence of new period and left
their old quarters, bidding farewell to
the ancient oriental tradition.
