The camel with two humps is of the
Arabian breed.
His prominent. far-seeing eyes are
well protected from the fierce glare
of the sun by ovcrrshadowing brows
His spongy padded feet prevent him
from slipping back with each step
in the fine sand. With his keen
sense Of smell he is able to tell when
there is water near long before any
signs of it can be seen. He can
drink enough water at one time to
last three or four days, and If he
cannot get enough food he can draw
upon the stored-up nourishment IN
his hump. With good care a camel
will live for fifty years, but. unfortu-
nately. if he is once driven too hard
and becomes exhausted. he never re-
covers.
With his long, measured stride he
appears to move slowly. but even
with a burden of 1,6e8 pounds he
travels so fast that horse must trot
to keep pace with him. Peaceful and
wise as he appears, he is really bad
tempered and stupid, grumbling

THE STORY so FAR: Meadow. Sing,
an Indian boy, Is taken on a mysterious
trip to the mountains, by One Ear, a
terrible Apache Indian, with whom he
lived. One Ear drags him into a cave.
Piffles, his dog, and Snood, his pet pig,
follow the two into the cave. There
they see one-Ear practIcIng black

him where to find the treasure that
Meadow Sings father, a rich chief, had
hidden In the cave, Just before One-Ear
killed him years before. AS he raises
his knife to kill Meadow Sing rocks roll
down from above.

then uttered shout of insane glee

the boy was soon led to the mouth Of
