! divide the tribes and the horde Of
natives that surged along with every
color, and with every sort of cry,
and every extravagant gesture.
He approved, too, the diplomacy
that gave these regiments a gala air
with their bands of music, as though
they rivalad 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 eff in d sudden rising Of these
native hordes.
Then his mind returned to its
reflection, with an idle interest ne
watched the strange, haIf-naked-
primeval creatures that appeared
issuing out of the vast limitless
ocean Of sand that lay endlessly to
the south, from tribes, old and un-
changed since the days of Abraham
creatures from the uncharted
deeps of the Sahara, naked and sub
sisting like the Baptist.
What lay far off there in the dead
cities Of this sand-swept wilderness
whence came these mad men,
gaunt, covered with hair, and in
tinitely old, no human creature
could say. Perhaps the magician
and the wizard of old times lived on
there. And there in ancient tombs,
in honeycombed walls sitting full Of
sand, in strange wilderness eternal
ly dead and silent, old wise men
abode who knew the ancient fornu
las by which the incxorablc course
Of nature could be turned aside.
Perhaps they maintained there to
this day that mysterious power
which the sacred books of all re-
lieions agree that certain dread
members Of the race possessed in
the morning of the world.
And the streaming horde, with its
cries and colors, slashed and inter-
sected by smart European regi-
ments, mingIing the drum and the
Highland pipe with the wailings of
the desert, became a thing unreal
fantastic Background for that
other mystery that so profoundly
disturbed the man.
And while he sat in the saddle

only the peace of the bayonet; and
behind the Incidence, the Hstless
resignation Of these desert peoples,
there seemed to lie q vast, inherent
hatred Of the invader that never
lessened, and that waited always
with an unfailing patience. In
India, this thing skuIked in The dis
lance, but here it seemed to APP
proach-to be at hand.
Perhaps what the man knew
staged this impression. The whole
world Of Islam was uneasy. She
had been despoiled in Turkey and
shamed. She felt that weak rulers,
for gain or the love Of life, had held
her in leash when she ought to have
been looscned with great shout to
bold war. The heads Of Islam
were quiet, but the tribes were rest
less.
England, feeling always with her
delicate antcnnae, knew this and,
always wise, moved first. She had
withdrawn this man from India and
sent him here to set the butt OF the
Lee-Endfield a little firmer in the
sand south toward Khartum.
He had fortnight in Cairo before
he took up this tremendous Labor,
and he used it to be free, to be
alone, to ride when he liked with
out an orderly always at his heels.
1t was great honor that England
did him. He might, in the end, be-
come Viceroy Of India or Sirdar of
Egypt. But, on this evening he was
impressed with the value of what
he paid--his youth had been re-
quired Of him. When he should
come up out of this desert he would
be old. And what had he got-what
would he get out of these great
honors?
The man rode slowly, holding the
nervous Arab in. The strange, in
congruous current Of the city passed
him, but he was thinking of some
thing else, and he gave it no at
ton.
There was another thing. He
unused vaguely. He had seen on
this very day, in the shade Of a
Towering vine, a young
soldier and an English girl, They
were sitting on a bench; neither
moved, and only their hands
touched They did not speak, and
yet their faces were like the faces
of angels
This was a thing that he had al
ways hated. 1t was not the enemy
in the front that threatened the
army, it was these loving creatures

o 1900 NEA. Service Inc.

Monsieur Jonquelle, the Project Of
Police of Paris, told me this story.
We were on the deck Of his yacht
in The Mediterranean: the coast Of
Africa was in the distance. We had
been talking of that strange, fam
Gus Englishman whose tragic death
in the North Sea had stirred The
world.
Why had he never married-the
greatest Englishman Of his time?
We did not name him. Monsieur
Jonquelle called him Sir Henry" in
the story.
The Project of Police of Paris pre-
scented the story as though it wer,
detached tale of an oriental story
teller in a bazaar Of Cairo. And
listened with my eyes closed, en- the
cool deck, moved slowly by the long
swells. listened to the tragic
love story of this strange, reserved,
famous Englishman who had lived
in mystery and died mystery.
s.
The man who rode north from
the citadel, along the Boulevard
Mohammed All was no longer
young.
He sat firmly in the saddle, and TO
the distant eye, he was hard and
lean like a hunter in condition. but
his face discolored by wind and sun,
in repose, was tired. 1t was an
unusual face, scanned and crossed
with lines, the mouth firm, almost
harsh, with the muscles developed
along the jaw. Eut it was not these
features that impressed one.
1t was the mans extraordinary
eyes. They were large and set far
apart. The color you immediately
saw-a dark metallic blue-tbe blue
of certain remote spaces in the
tropic sky. The lips dropped, giving
the man an expression at once of !
serenity and menace.
he rode gray Arab, and his |
clothes were evidently the best |
product of Bond Street tailor. He |
rode like a soldier-like one accus-
toned to live days end nights in |
the saddle.
The man felt old and tired.
The vast, eternal unchanging as
pect of Egypt oppressed him. Here |
all human effort seemed equally |
futile Here, as in India, one grew
only old and accomplished nothing. |
And, on this evening, he felt acute |
ly the menace of Egypt.

CAR INQUIRIES FEATURE
MARKETS FOR STEEL
Iron Age Reports Quieter
Conditions This Week.

Quieter conditions In the iron and
steel markets, particularly in such prod
ucts as plates, shapes and bars, are
noted this week by Iron Age. While
consumption is being maintained buyers
are nevertheless waiting TO see that
prices are entirely freed from the effects
of the coal strike and car troubles. With
the exception Of the United States Steel
Corporation manufacturers are believed
to be lightly booked beyond the end OF
this year.
The Iron Age says:
1.-THE Steel Corporations heavy book
ings during the coal strike period and
the inroads on its operations made by the
railroad shopmen's strike are Indicated
by its recent buying of nearly 100000
tons OF ingots and sheet bars. the ingots
going to it's pipe subsidiary. on a part
OF the sheet bars $40, Youngstown, was
paid. The possibility OF further pur-
chases is factor In the sheet bar mar
ket, In which In the last week $50 quo
tation ct Youngstown has appeared"
The Iron Trade Reptc,o says:
Under more favorable operating con
dltlons production OF iron and steel again
is moving forward TO an average OF
around 10 per cent. capacity. with some
plants on an 80 per cent. basis. Car
supplies at congested points are freer
though still short, and further inroads
have been made into the finished steel
product piled at mills. Railroad equip
ment demand has continued to expand
impressively. Pending inquiries for cars

CAR LOADINGS PASS
THE MILLION MARK
Railroads Score That Record
in Week of October for First
Time Since 1920.

For the first time in two years car
loadings passed the million mark in the
week ended with October q. according
to the American Railway Association.
The total was 003 1b9 cars loaded with
revenue freight. an increase OF 20,2ss
cars over the preceding week. 3s,s4s ove-
the same week last year and 5.05S below
the same week two years ago. Other
million-car weeks were: September "a.
1920 with zoos 100 cars; October 8, 1890,
with l0l1, SOS cars; October 10. 1922. with
Ois,5S9 cars and October ~, 1870, with
1,O0S.Sls cars.
The carriers during the week ended
October q also broke all records in
the number of cars loaded with mer-
chandise and miscellaneous freight. In
cluding manufactured products, with a
total OF 596, 392 cars. This was an In
crease of 1894 over the week of Septem-
Der 80 last. the previous high. gam
of 1777S cars over the previous week in
October and 20.230 cars above the lev j
for the same week last year. The only
exceptions to the general increase were
noted in coal loadings which. ct 1871
care. showed drop OF 1855 from the pre-
eeding week, and ore loadtngs which de,
cllned s94 cars, standing at 4S,46S cars
The gain in livestock Ioadings was 1,3S2,
the total being 40473 cars; forest prod
ucts. 60,344 cars, an increase OF Sa4 cars,
and coke. 1881 cars. an increase ot
A,0l1 cars over the previous week
1t is considered significant that the
million car level was reached after the
American Railway Association starte
it's campaign for heavier loadings OF all
freight ears. Traffic experts were pre-
pared for more than million cars
week several weeks ago, but each repore
for October showed a total slightly be-
low that mark The belief in certaln
quarters IS that the peak of traffic
which ordinarily Is reached during tn.
latter weeks of October, will be pushed
into November this year because OF EN-
bargoes.
Regarding the outlook for million car
weeks this month there is wide variety
of opinion. However, there is general
belief that the ordinary year end slump
will not materialize this year.

RECORD MOTOR CAR
OUTPUT. IN OCTOBER
Production Runs 20 Per Cent.
Above September.

Production OF motor vehicles running
20 per cent. above September was re-
ported yesterday TO the directors meet
ing OF the National Automobile Chamber
OF Commerce in New York Tho total
output for the entire industry for Octo-
Der, based on statements OF shipments. Is
estimated at 2i4.400 cars and trucks.
The best previous October record was
200. 900, in 1919.
Increased availability OF coal, which
was relatively scarce in September, ac-
counts largely for tho unusual October
increase. The production Of the latter
month met a number of unified orders
as we'll as supplying october sales, which
we're about 25 per cent. under Septe-n
Der in most sections Of the country. The
