| drifted with the vague wind north
ward as from the desert. It came
to the man sitting the gray Arab
as from a remote distance: a
voice carried on the wave crest
OF innumerable sounds; q long,
wailing desert cry, weird, .eery,
the words slurred over and blur
red.
20 sirdarl I will give It to you
Il will give 1t to you. And
may 1t cruelty your soul!"
The voice tralled on in a thin,
indistinguishable whine, aud the
emaciated creature sank down
under his hurlooSe.
The man looked up and about
him like one who hears a whis-
pering In the sky Then he turn
cd his horse and rode on slowly
In the wake OF the procession. He
followed It east into the Rue
Musk.
The horse picked its way along.
careful to avoid tho exhausted
madmnn who lay everywhere.
The rider gave the horse no
attention. He rode with the reins
slack in his fingers.
AS the Rue Musk entered the
Neuve, the horse, to avoid a camel
stepped on the caftan Of an ex-
hausted dervish, lying in a heap
like a relaxed dead man. The
hook barely touched the garment,
but the drugged erazed creature
beneath 1t suddenly rollen over
and buried his teeth In the horses
leg above the fetlock. 1t was
tho quick. savage lunge Of an in
furated dog. The horse bolted.
and to keep him from going haed-
long into the crowd, the rider
turned him into aside street.
But he could not master the
maddened horse. The beast was
wild: the iron bit clamped into
its jaws as IL cemented into u
stone. AS though infected by Il
virus, the horse was now as crazed
as the drug-drunken dervlsh,
Neyerless, the horse did not
get away.
He fought down the narrow
street and out through the ma
tive quarter OF the city, but the
rider controlled him, and but for
an accident, would have got him
in hand. A water-skIn had brok-
en- in the street, and when the
plunging horse struck the wet
earth he fell.
That thing all happened in a
flash, and the man was thrown
out OF tho saddle. AS he arose a
native servant, in livery handed
him his helmet which had rolled
into a neIghboring doorway. A
motor-car had stopped and n
woman was out in the street be-
side him.
"oh, she cried, "are you hurt?"
The voice had the soft liquid
tones Of some southern country.
He was not In the least hurt and
he fastened to say 1t.
The car was new and smart
the sort OF wonderful thing one
sees at eleven in the Rue de la
Pax. The woman was extremely
young a mere girl, he thought, for
the lines Of her slim figure were
not yet rounded out.
It was amazingly. good In suit
OF white Chinese SILK heavy. as
duck and cut, in half sporting
style, with a plated coat, belt and
patch pockets, by a first.class Lon
don tailor.
The girl was blushing slightly.
Her eyes, colored like the velvet
hull OF an Italian chestnut, were
wide under long lashes curling UP.

WASHINGTON. July 2s.--Both
major political parties have begun
10 discuss presidential possibilities
for 1924.

weeks ago II was generally agreed
that President Harding would be

struggle. II still is agreed that the
president, as things are now, can
have the denomination II he wishes

financial backer of Wilson, accom-

with the Wilson managers and
looked over the situation. II Ia said

ST. LOUIS. July 29.-Tne two
leading democratic candidates,
United States Senator James A..
Reed and Breckenridge Long, third
assistant secretary OF state during
the Wilson administration, brought
to a close tonight what Is consid-
cred by politicians TO be the Bit
terest campaign for the senatorial
nomination waged In Missouri in
many decades. Senator Reed made
his closing speech here. while his
opponent wound up his campaign
at Macon, both expressing confi-
dence that the plurality OF votes
will fall TO them next Tuesday.
Reeds Speech Typical.
Senator Reeds speech. delivered
In his typical oratorical manner,
was minced with attacks, clothed in
inferences against Long. his sup
porters and his entire campaign. He
paid high tribute TO the woman vot-
ers in referring to his stand on the
maternity bill during its discus
sions in congress- Stressing his
loyalty to the democratic cause,
Reed again laid emphasis on the
charge of "bolting" which has been
brought against the Long forces be-
cause OF a recent threat made by
one OF the Long followers.
The league of nations, the food
ad ministration OF Herbert Hoover
and all the pet issues of the CAM
paign advanced by both candidates
furnished Senator Reed subjects
that have been echoed In all Sec
tions of the state during the cam
paign.
Long. who spent the first part
OF the closing campaign week in
the city, chose the northern Sec
ton OF the state for the winding up
OF his campaign. In his speech at
Macon, Long reiterated his previous
charges against his opponent, whom
he assailed for failure TO support
the party in 1920 and for making
speeches for a republican candidate
in Wisconsin. He again charged
that many republicans would vote
for his opponent next Tuesday.
Long Says He's Won.
This fight has been won," said
Long in closing his speech, "and we
can now turn our attention TO get
ting the scalps OF the republicans
next November"
Mock services for the political
funeral marked today's activities
OF the Long supporters in this city.
Preceding the funeral Reed. in ef-
figy, was taken around the city,
followed by a long string OF auto
mobiles carrying Long followers and
laden with Long campaign posters.
