He knew of them only what anneared

beauty which they assembled. he saw
also the thousand foIlie8 that seemed to

He knew what the love Of life was. for
he had seen every sort of creature fight

of gain and the love Ct power. But men,
all men, everywhere, impertled and aban-
doned these things for the love of women.
and they did it with no doubt, like one
who trades glass for a jewel,
He reflected. There was no virtue in
the thing that he had, in the thing for
which he traded away his life, thus to
transfgure the human face. And when
he should come up cut of this great desert
south toward Khartum, he would be old!

when a procession stopped him.
The sacred carpet had arrived from
Mecca. The streets before him were
gorged with people, and the whole city
echoed with weird oriental cries. There
was little new to him In the orgy OF these
native ceremonies, with their riot of
sound and color. and their vast medley
of tribes assembled from the waste places
of the earth.
For a moment, as a soldier, he approved
the precaution taken by the English au-
thOrities-a company of troops thrown in.

the horde of natives that surged along

cry, and every eXtravagant gesture
He approved. too, the diplomacy that
gave these regiments a gala air with
their bands CT music. as though they
rivaled the Arab and the fellah in doing
honor to the holy relic while, in fact
they held the fingers of England on the
city lest they slip off in a sudden rising
Of these native hordes.

MANY INQUIRIES
REGARDING RULES
OF POULTRY SHOW
Only Number of Birds Which
Can Be Properly Cared For
Will Be Taken In.

Judging from the numerous inquiries
| coming to Secretary ". c. Jernigan CT
the Escambia Poultry association. regard
| ing the rules and requirements for entry
| in the second annual poultry show of
the organization to be held Dec. 6-9. it
Is evident that when the entries close
Nov. 80 some one may be disappointed by
having their birds returned because of
lack OF coping equipment.
The association has equipment to prop
erly take care OF nearly 1000 birds. but It
Is the intention of the mana cement not
to take in more birds than can be prep
erly shown and cared for, as this would
work an injustice to the exhibitor and
at the same time spoil the appearance
Of the show from the viewpoint of the
visitor. Therefore all prospective ex
hibitcTs are urgently requested to get
their entries in as early as possible.
No Entry Fee In Egg Contest.
The association announces that there
will be an egg contest in connection
with the poultry show and prizes are Of
fered for the best dozen white shell eggs.
the best Ave dozen white shell eggs, the
best dozen brown shell eggs and the best
five dozen brown shell eggs. To place
eggs on display and enter this contest
there will be no entry fee, but the eggs
should be entered on a regular entry
blank showing what will be entered and
mailed to the secretary before midnight
of Nov. 80. as all entries will positively
close at that time and no entries will
be accepted later
Entries Made by Boy or Girl.
Through the premium list there is al
nice lot of special premiums offered
strictly for boys and girls. among them
being one cash premium for the best
cockerel exhibited by a boy or girl 16
years of age or younger, while at the
same time all boys and girls making en-
tries of their birds will also have an
opportunity of competing for the regular
cash premiums offered on their varieties.
The management requests that all boys
and girls making entries state on the
entry blank their age, so that the entries |
will be properly handled, and so they will |
not fail to get in on the competition be- |
tween the boys and girls for the specials |
given for them.

| the strange, half-naked, primeval crea-
lures that appeared. issuing out OF the
vast hm1tless ocean Of sand that lay end
Iessly to the south, from tribes, old and
unchanged since the days of Abraham
creatures from the uncharted dseps of
the Sahara. naked and subsistlnE like
the Baptist
What lay far off there In the dead cities
OF this sandswept wilderness whence
came these mad men, gauut, covered
with hair, and infinitely old, no human
creature could say. Perhaps the ma gician
ana the wizard of old times lived on
there. And there in ancient toubs. in
honeycombed walls sitting full of sand,
IN strange wilderness eternally dead and
silent. cid wise men abode who knew the
ancient formulas by which the memorable
course of nature could be turned aside.
perhaps they maintained there to this
day that mysterious power which the sa-
cred books of all religions agree that
certain dread members of the race pos
sessed in the morning Of the world.
And the streaming horde. with its
cries and colors. slashed and intersected
by smart European regiments, mingling
the drum and the Highland pipe with
the wailings of the desert. became a
thing unreal-a fantastic background for
that other mystery that SO profoundly
disturbed the man.
ana Wnlte he sat In the saddle looking
down at these wild people of the desert,
another locked down at him.
A woman, accompanied by the resident
doctor and r. maid, entered the English
hotel on the other side of the square
crossed the foyer and got into the lift.
AS she passed. a dapper man. bald,
dressed like tailors print, and with the
air of one who is social register. spoke
TO his companions pouring cup of tea
at table by the wall.
That's Nelly Landsear--used to be a
famous southern beauty in the States.
Jove! She's gone to pieces! Had a devil
Of life! Married Bristed Ames--dirty
little beast! My word. she was won
der once! Locks fifty today
And he began to tell the dramatic story
Of this woman and the creature that she
had married, the story of a tireless effort
to keep weakling on his feet, to make
man of him. The story over again of
Daude's Kings in Exile" A story that
was a tragedy of failures.
Another InstalFment OF this thrilling
story will appear in The journal ton1or-

floats in the Mcmillan building at 100

work Of the dozen floats has been fin
ished
In order to avoid the rush Of last sea-
son when time was limited the float con-
struction was started early for the 1928
celebration. The parade and the floats
Of the coming Mardf Gras will be even
more cclorful and elaborate than those
Of last season. and while peerIng eyes Of
visitors are not allowed to view what is
being done by the workers, those few
who have had the privilege say that in
magniicence and artistic decoration they
will also excel any ever displayed here.
There remains more than two months
yet to work on the floats.
