Silence between them. From the

were indistinct in the trembling heat.
She seemed lost in a cloud of dreams.
1t was maddening to Lexington, until
a great light broke within him. She
said simply, without looking at him:
'fYou are making me unhappy"
Even before the full joy OF this ut
terance was clear to him, he was up
beside her, forgetful of the sentinel,
the sun, the whole world but this. A
hOneyed fragrance came to him from
her nearnesS. The words that burned
his heart stopped in his throat, but his
eyes held hers an instant, and trag-
ically her unhappiness deepened; yet
it made him glad.
Without speaking, she spurred her

head was filed with her final words.
They brought hope and hurt together
When once more in q normal state,
Con was frightened at the intensity
of his speech, the fire he had sent out
to her. Earth held no other fear than
that he had said too much, that he had
stumbled over the fealty in her nature,
in attacking her expectations of en-
pire. Also he saw afresh the extent
of the consequences OF MARGINS blum
der. the forcing Of escape last night
Helen had secured a sort of truce for
them, but it was unavailable now.
Con grimly remembered the blows he
had given the soldier in MARGINS
rooms.
He wanted TO find her father. The
drop down the shaft did not seem so
long this time, but the darkness at the
bottom was overpOwering. His eyes
remained full of green patches of
sunlight. Then he started back, as
nearly as he could remember, along
the tunnel toward the larger cavern
where the gas burned. He thought he
could smell the burned gas, or the
baking lentils. Enthusiastically he
scented camels None of the dwarfs
was in view. He had to grope, hav-
ing no torch. 1t was like a starless
night.
1t was some time before he saw
glow far ahead, which satisfied him
as the reflected light from the cavern
In which he had taken leave OF his
friend and the interpreter. He was
thinking with a newborn power, and
perhaps did not realize that he had
been wandering deeper into the earth
for twenty minutes. The light proved
! TO be a torch carried over a group Of
miners. They were little fellows, each
with q twisted knee and spine made
| hideous In childhood. Under the fiar-
| Ing light, Con could not steady shud-
der at the picture they made. Half
starved, IOng-armed, dark creatures,
with the eyes narrowed, all humanity
drawn from their faces, they peered
! at the large man in the tunnel before
them. and a united whisper rustled
from lip TO lip.
'fWhere Is my friend-white manf'.
Lexington made signs and variously
indicated his desire to find March.
The eyes turned upon him grew pig
like. and the whisper was repeated.
Heads turned back, then toward him.
Hostility was like powder to the
match. They were blaming him for
the taking on OF their kin. Con felt
that he was bad omen 10 them,
which was the greater need for find
ing March and the Arab friend.
Now the little party lined up against
one side of the passage, plainly In
tending the white man to pass.
'sThat way2'
Con inquired also with his hands If
they were directing him to go on Per
haps they had just come from March.

FLEA EMBALMED IN HONEY
Little Insect Pest Found Which Met
Its Fate in Egypt Many Thou

It is believed that the earliest food

and which is still In existence, is a jar
Of honey found in an Egyptian tomb.
and probably placed there for the sus-
tenance of the dead during the jour
ney across the Stygian river, says the
American Forestry Magazine. When
found, the honey had changed into a
very dry candy and it had lost fits
sweetness, though 1t could still be

In the bottom OF the jar. well Gov

precisely the same sort as those which
plague Egypt TO this day. Apparently.
the insect had hoped into the jar
while the last rites over the dead were
being observed, and when the jar was
corked. the little fellow was shut up
within, and. like the true patriot. he
probably could have declared that
death was sweet. Anyway, he sank
TO the bottom while the honey was
still soft, and there the Psychologists
found him after a good many thou

USE FRUIT TO MAKE JARS
Common Household Utensils Con-
structed Of Peculiar Ware in
Central Province Of India.

There is a peculiar ware that Is
made by the Banjaras in the central
provinces Of India from the fruit Of
the aoula. The fruit is collected and
dried. It is then boiled in water IN
tile quite soft and pounded. the stones
removed and the pulp beaten up and
worked with the hands into a thick,
brown, sticky mass. When this is
quite ready the manufacturer takes an
earthen vessel-any shape that pleases
him-and covers it all over with a
thick layer or coat of the pulp This
is then put aside to set q bit, and
when hard rude devices are stamped
round the neck and shoulders of the
article. which is then set aside TO dry.
When entiray hard, the gharra inside
is broken and the pieces removed.
These vegetable pots are sold accord
ing to size from four to eight annas
each.
The aoula tree Is abundant through
out the forests OF tropical India and
Burma, and the fruits are frequently
employed in medicine and for tanning.
Another material used for making
jars is the root OF the great asphodsl.
The fleshy root Of this plant. by dry
ing in a sand oven and grinding. Ia
prepared into a -four, which. when
mixed with hot water, yields a most
tenacious vegetable glue with which

LODGED ON SAND BAR IN RIVER, BODY OF
 OLD DMEX|CAN FOUND

Lodged on sandbar, the body of Rosario Manjares. 75 years old. of F East Buchanan street, was found early yesterday morning one-fourth of T mile above the Center street bridge by a Mexican named Salazar.
 According to the testimony heard by Judge Mckee and @ coroner's jury, the old man left his home the night before with horse and buggy to gather wood along the river When he did not return his son Jose went out with friends to search for him.
 The horse was found attached to the buggy, which had been tipped over, half a mile up stream from where the body of Manjares had been found. The horse was uninjured, and it is the theory of the investigating of ficers that the Mexican drove into q deep hole, from which he was unable to extricate himself, and was later caught by rising water, which washed him away from the buggy.
 Verdict of accidental death by drowning was returned by the cor oners jury.

ALLEYS SHELTER BIC
 BOOZE SUPPLY, HE
 DECLARES ON ST TAND

Booze is easy to get in Phoenix. Go down any alley any time and get any amount. Such was the substance Of testimony which R. B. Wood gave in police court yesterday afternoon. Wood and John M. Levitt were arrested by Officer Sullivan on a charge of boot logging. At the time he arrested them the officer confiscated three bottles of liquor.
 Sullivan testified he had watched the two men working from midnight un- til the time of. their arrest at o'clock in the morning.
 "I was pretty sure they were boot legging'' he said. "but waited until l knew they had the evidence on them before I made the arrest"
 Where did you get that liquor ?'' asked acting Judge TreVallian.
 .'Got-it from a fellow in an alley" W oodS answered.
 Did you know the fellow"
 Never saw him before.
 Wasn't the fellow afraid to sell you liquor when he didn't know your
 "Of course not. AnXone can go down almost any alley and find someone there to sell him the stuff
 From the evidence it appeared that Wood was the most active in securing anc disposing of liquor. He was fined s100 and Leavitt was fined $50
