Bobby, as he wobbled from side
to side in the saddle of the big
two-humped camel, on which he
was riding by my side.

saddle as my mount lurched to

"Somthing besides soldiers"
asked Bobby, interested at once.

"Guns!" shouted Bobby
Here in Persia there are sew
eral regiments known as the
camel artillery. A strong saddle
is fastened between these two
humps. Then two guns are fas-
tened securely to each end of the
saddle. The guns are mounted
on pivots. Then the artilleryman
who rides behind the saddle gets
his range, directs his guns and
fires

She looked her ioveliest the other
evening in a white silk deep
fringed dance frock that set off

I. who have known Mollie many
years, have fair idea Of how,

pleasing people and adapting her
self 10 the person she's with.
Moliie practiced her art of
charm on her father--not pur-

a few of his favorite monograph
records.
MoIlie found which were his
