Gently Sir Herbert Samuel had
laid the foundation for 200 Ara
bic schools. The attitude of the
Arabs at this moment was not
entirely satisfactory and the sur-
est measure for adjustment lay in
increased immigration. Two mil

mans to an acre) were at present
available and should be acquired
without delay.
Professor Weizmann reused
the delegates of the conference to
a pitch of indignation by declar-
ing that even at this date there
are Jews who are deliberately
plotting to destroy the mandate.
He then went on to explain that
the American Zionists failed to
realize that a supreme effort on
the part of the people themselves
is now essential seeming to de-

to accomplish all that is neces-

Einstein's efforts in behalf of the
Hebrew University in Jerusalem,
Professor Weizmann character

Cowen, the noted English Zionist

concluded his address by an

in honor bound to redeem Pales-

to tell the Purim story as he did every
year, because I knew the children
were anxious to see the play. But I
did hint that I would be more than
willing to say few words myself at
the end. He said he would call on me
and patted my head which offended
my dignity, for I felt very grown up
in those days. So felt more conf
dent and happy than I had right to;
I should have known how careless
and absent minded the dear old fell
low usually was.
"There was a good deal Of confu-
sion in the air when we got to the
Asylum. It seemed we were late and
the children were already assembled
in front of the green curtains and
growing restless. The superintendent,
little man with big mustache, fair
ly bounced on the rabbi and told him
to make his speech to the children

the play began. Then he began to

little and unimportant all of a sudden,

course, the superintendent, who was
buzzing around like big humble bee,
bounced on me right away.
"'What do you want here, little
boy?' he asked me.
"'Little boy!' That hurt the pride
of a rising young author, although
seeing that was understood and wore
short pants, you couldn't blame him
for not respecting my dignity.

CHAPTER l. Under his grandfather
will, Stanford Broughton, society tdler. finds
his share Of the estate, valued at some
thing like $440. 900, lies In a safe reposi-
tory" latitude and longitude described. and
that IN all. 1t may be Identified by the
presence nearby OF a brown-haired, blue
eyed girl. a piebaid horse. and a dog with
a split face, half black and half white.
Stanford at first regards the bequest as a
Joke, but after consideration sets out to
find his legacy.
CHAPTER TL.-On his way to Denver.
the city nearest the meridian described In
his grandfather's will, Stanford hears from
a fellow traveller a story having 10 do with
n flooded mine.
III-Thinking things over, he
begins to imagine there may be something
in his grandfather's bequest worth while,
his idea finally centering on the possibility
of a mine, as a safe repository" Recall
Ing the narrative on the train, he ascertains
that his fellow traveller was "A mining engi-
neer, Charles Fullerton. Fullerton refuses
him information, but from other sources
Rroughton learns enough to make him pro-
coed to Placerville. In the Red desert.
CHAPTER IV.-On the station platform
at Atropia, just as the train pulls out,
Stanford sees what appear to be the iden-
teal horse and dog described in his grand
fathers will. Impresser, he leaves the train
at the next stop, Angels. There he finds
that Atropia was originally Placervile, his
destination. Unable to secure a conveyance
at once TO take him to Placerville. Brough-
ton seizes a construction car and escapes,
leaving the impression on the town marshal,
Beaseley, that he is slightly demented.

boy after a few minutes.

quite an exciting time In the woods
when we found we almost yer the
wrong way, and I'm very hungry"
So the boy took his knapsack from
his back and they undid the luncheon.
It was extremely good. There were
delicious sandwiches and some jam
and some good, cool brook water which
had been put in a crystal bottle.
There was also some candy.
81 hope 1t isn't magic candy, which
can disappear when 1t wants to-" said
the boy.
"What a horrible thought" said the
girl. "Why did you have to think up
such a terrible thought about the can
dy? 1t would have been better II you
had thought 1t about the sandwiches,
though for that matter the sandwiches
are what I most want at the moment.
I'm so extremely hungry"
They sat down and ate their lunch
con and peeked into the basket and
saw three other packages, n with a
card attached which said:
"For supper this evening"" and the
second package said:
"For breakfast tomorrow morning."
And there was a third package
which was marked, Extra goodies for
extra times" This had all been fixed
for the adventures by Mrs. Wood Elf.
"She was nice. was Mrs. Wood ELI"
said the girl. II am going to be very
careful to like only nice people and
I'm going to make no mistakes, and
I'm going to think Of serious things
and not behave in a foolish way.

things when they're hard, for TIL be
feeling they are doing me great good"
maybe we will find the House of
Secrets that way sooner" agreed the
boy.

little later, as she wiped her mouth
with one of Mrs. Wood ELS leaf nap
kins. "You are through, aren't your"
"All through" said the boy.
Just then they heard a sobbing. 1t
sounded very near.
They walked along a little way,
looking In the direction from which
the sobbing came.
"Oh. it's a poor little creature, a
little bit Of a brownie, or something
Of the sort" said the girl. "See. he
Is hidden behind this stone"
"I'm hidden because you made me
so small" said the little brownie.
"You aren't behaving like a regular
boy or a regular girl at all, and 1t
breaks my hearth

"Oh deari Oh deari Oh dearI I"

Farmers in the vicinity Of Lake
Bryon are alarmed at the inroads be-
ing made in their cornields by the
ducks which are daily coming in from
the north. Many fields have been
stripped Of all grain, leaving the ap-
pearance Of having been run through
and trampled down by a herd of large
animals. Ducks, and geese as we'll,
use these fields for feeding grounds at
night, and 1T has been found in several
instances necessary to post guards in
the fields to drive the fowls way in
order to protect the unpicked crops
from the bird foragers. Hunters are
finding that section of the country a
great hunting ground, and the quality
Of the ducks Is excellent owing to their
%fattening on the purloined corr crops
of the farmers.

timistic and predict a paying well.
