volume of cotton may have been sold

WORKING CITY KEEPS CLEAN

Berlin is shabby. True, outcome
to, Dresden in the spring! No pow
erty. no shabbiness here, no dirt, no
smoke, no din.
Dresden may not be the cleanest
town in the world, but it is certain
that no town is more clean. And yet
the Saxon people grumble that the
times have changed and that the
town-the Flower City" of Germany
lis not so lovely.
Look at that" a woman said to
me one day. pointing to solitary
scrap of paper at the pavement's S
edge. How disgustingly untidyl"
Had such piece of paper been
found before the war the shopkeeper
in front of whose premises it lay
would have been compelled to pay a
fine. Even a piece of straw on the
pavement was never seen before" the
Saxon woman said.
Today, in spite of all the grumbling
of the local folk, one seldom sees the
least "untidiness." Dresden is a big
manufacturing town. 1t is incredible.
A garden city-yes. A city with tree
bordered streets and flowery. leafy
squares-yes. A city of old palaces
and churches and fine art galleries,
with the Elbe cutting off the old town
from the new, and bright green grass
and trees and gardens by the rivers
edge-yes, but manufacturing town.
1t is incredible!
Here, for instance. is a big build
ing surrounded by flower beds and
trees and shrubs. 1t might almost be
a mansion-but there is the soft hum
of electrically driven machinery, and
one realizes that it is a factory.
Here again is the drive of a private
house-one thinks it is, but it is
really the entrance to the printing
works of a famous firm. There is
little smoke to be seen. The air is
always delightfully."- clear and fresh.

Hoodless closed his eyes, waiting
for the relief froLi his red hot pain
which the tiny tabloids Marchurst
had given him on finishing his
cleaning and dressing Of the
wounds would soon bestow. He

had told himself. Why not? That
was adventure. No doubt there
was a moral aspect to such an ad-
venture-but he concerned him
self with moral aspects no more
and possibly less than most men Of
his type, few of whom, young,
vital, unattached, would look upon
the adventure in SO far as Sais
was concerned, as otherwise than a
heaven sent romance-even q right
of youth. What was there for a
young man, unstudious, without
any profound special interest or
pursuit, in this ancient Egypt, but
the hope Of some such adventure!
He would be other than normal
who failed to welcome it with wide
eyes, with open arms. Ro-
And the death of that hashish-
eater, that obscure and nameless
stranger, which had inlaid the ad-
venture with a scarlet thread, no
longer distressed him; though It dis
turbed him still. It had been an
accident in the sense that he had
not intended to kill the man, and,
in the twenties, one cannot grieve
interminably or even consistently
after the shock of a sudden event
has worn off.

three days away from the main
camp already, and though Hood
less, at the time of his leaving, had
been so far recovered that Dick
had been able TO. 60 without
anxiety, he easily assured himself
that it was at least as much on
account of Hoodless that he re-
turned as on account of his in
creasing desire to get back to
Egypt and the fervency of Sais-
or was it the cool friendliness of
Louise Lammarsh? He could not
have said.
But he was aware of a deep in
stinct which moved him, or, as he
felt it, promised him, that he had
not finished his association with
the one, nor begun It with the
other. He was not yet Of the age
which thinks deeply, or plans far
ahead Of the present. Indeed, his
movements in the immediate future
were not definitely planned, nor
even moderately clear-cut.
He anticipated that there would
be something in the nature of a
holiday with Sais at the villa at
Luxor which she had planned to
prepare for his return-the
''halcyon days." Of which Hoodless
