But there was no gainsaying the
| fierce spirit of the Arab mother,

began at once. In the cool of the
morning she brought Said III to the
parade ground, perched him on the
parapet of the Darel-Heni and
taught him to clap his hands when
the horse went by.
Once she hoisted him to his fathers
saddle bow. The fat creature twist
ed both hands in the black stallion's
name and kicked the glossy neck
with his heels, gurgling with JOY.
"See. see" said Ourida. her eyes
like stars for radiance. He grips,
he rides. He will carry the standard

laughed and lifted their lances.

more than a smattering of military
lore and no battle experience what
ever, but Ortho did not greatly care.
Promotion might be rapid in the
Shereefian army, but degradation was
apt to be instantaneous-the matter
of sword flash. He had risen as far

pivoting on Said ii. But in the eve
ming, when that potential conqueror
had ceased the pursuit of the monkey
and eagle and lay locked IN sleep,
Ourida would veil herself, wind her
haik about her and go roaming into
the city with Ortho. She loved the
latticed souks with their displays of
silks, jewelry and leather work; the
artificers with their long muskets,
curved daggers. velvet sea bbarded
swords and pearshaped powder
TASKS; the gorgeous horse trappings
at the saddlers', but these could be
best seen in broad daylight; in the
evening there were other attractions.
1t was the Djeema- ell F'na that drew
her. that great, dusty, clamorous fair
ground of Morocco where gather the
Storytellers, acrobats and clowns:
where feverish drums beat the sun
down, assisted by the pipes of Ais
sawa snake charmers and the jim
CLING ouds and cymbals of the Ber-
ber dancing boys; where the Sultan
hung out the heads of transgressOrs
that they might grin sardonically
upon the revels. Ourida adored the
Djeema- ell -Fna. To the girl from the
tent hamlet in the Sahara 1t was life.
She wept at the sad love stories,
trembled at the snake charmers,
shrieked at the crude buffoons, sway
ed in sympathy with the Berber
dancers, besought Ortho for coin, and
more coin, to reward the charming
entertainers. She loved the varied
crowds, the movement, the excite
ment, the din. but most of all she
liked the heads No evening on the
Djeema was complete unless she had
inspected these grisly trophies of I'M
perial power.
She said no word to Ortho. but,
nevertheless, he knew perfectly well
what was in her mind; in her mind
she saw young Said twenty years on,
srattered with infidel blood, riding
like a tornado, serving his enemies
even as these
Ferocious-she was the ultimate ex-
preston of ferocity-but knowing no
mean she was also ferocious in her
love and loyalty: she would have
given her life for husband or son
gladly, rejoicing. Such people are
difficult to deal with. Ortho sighed,
but let her have her way.

Garcia Decided
Work Connected with
Jail Too

Fred Garcia. who was sentenced
the fore part of last week to serve
40 days in the city jail for being
drunk, evidently decided the work
connected with being In Jail was too
strenuous for him for after having
served about three or four days he
was sent Jul to get a pail of coal
and a short time later the empty pail
was found minus the trusty prisoner.
1t is supposed, and hoped. that he
has left the city and has no inten-
lions of coming back.
His arrest last Monday was the
third time he had been brought be-
fore the Police Judge on a charge
of being drunk. The first time he
was given a sentence; the second
time he vas sentenced to serve 80
days but after having served ~ days
he was discharged under the condi-
ton that he leave town. 1t was
found that he had not lived up to
the agreement but instead was found
drunk a week & last Monday and
it was at this time that he was given
40 days. Now it Is hoped that he
has moved his residence to some city
other than Rawlins.

nNE Of the most interesting branches of modern science
is the chemistry of colods.
~ Prof. Harry Nichols Holmes, of Obern College
recently described of the latest discoveries in Cood
Chemistry and the relation of that branch of science to
modern fe lectures at the Carnegie Institute of Tech
nology at Pittsburgh He described Cood Chemistry as
the Chemistry Of grains drops bubbles faments and films
The cOod particles very small indeed too small to be
with the best microscope They are just little larger
than molecules.
They may be dispersed in liquids solids gas loosely
aggregated in cheese muscular tissue ceuose and the
like.
Roughly speaking Coloid Chemistry has to do with guey
sticky stuff,
benefit to mankind in increasing its food supply Wheat for
instance has enough of the Sticky material called gluten to
make good bread dough Corn rye and other grains have
not enough cod properties to permit the OF
satisfactory light porous loaf Therefore the cood
chemist change the physical properties of rye
and oats that they will stretch out like the best wheat
he will add untold wealth to the world and do much toward
checking famines
There is good deal of waste in coal If the coal dust
is made coloida it be used in fluid and sprayed like
fuel oil and burned under boilers This coodia fuel would
be excellent for ships because the fire hazard is less than
that of OIL
Dr. Holmes also showed that processes of this branch
