The slave was silent for time. His

His gaze returned to the village
below. A sharper patter of rain
caused them to draw their garments
more closely about them. The shaft
of light that had descended ON the
plain had disappeared, but now 1t
came back again. much nearer.

Scrambling down into the gully, she
cast herself at his feet. He listened
impassively 20, her torrent of speech.
When she was done, he turned and
motioned to the foremost of the men
who waited. Three of them came for
ward. and without a word jerked her
torn mantle from her shoulders, tug
ged at it until it was separated into
long strips, and then methodically
bound and gagged her.
From the moment that they ap-
preached her. Laila was silent. She
kept her great dark eyes fixed upon the
leader of the band, but uttered no
protest-did not even cry out as the
rough wooden rag was forced into her
mouth. and held there by tight
bandage that went around her head
and neck.
The leader gestured again, The
men threw Laila to the ground. out
of their way, and then. silently. the
party moved forward. So far as the
eyes of the woman could see, as they
rolled in an effort to watch, the men
had forgotten her existence.
Her tunic still covered her, but the
chill from the damp ground began
presently to penetrate her flesh. She
had been warm from her climb down
the mountain, and the sudden cold
was therefore all the more uncomfor-
table.
She rolled to the right and left, and
made an effort to get upon her feet.
They had tied her kn.cs' together. as
we'll as her ankles, and this added to
her difficulties. At last. by rolling
upon her face, and drawing up her
knees, in q twisting motion, she man
aged to spring into kneelins pos
ture. fnehing her way to the wall of
the gully. she placed her forehead
against 1t. and, strainins, forced her
self upright.
She stood there for time painting.
She tried to look ever the bank, but
it was a few inches too high.
A cracking sound told her that
some one vas coming from the
direction that she had come. Her eyes
were calm as she waited.
Soon the head of the bondsman
projected over the edge. He swung
down beside her. She made a faint,
strangied sound. Jerking her head
downward vigorously, as II to guide
him.
Evidently he understood. He drew
from her tunic the dagger that she
had placed there, and in a few
moments she was free of her bonds.
II saw II happen" he said. Your
kinsman are not kind"
They are from another tribe" she
said resentfully. Il told their leader
I was from his land. and that my
father was a chief, and begged him 10
take me thither when he returned.
But he answered not one word"
Her eyes sparkied angrily. They
are dogs" she added, eaters Of
carrion and despised of the earth"
The bondsman had slipped off his
mantle. and now placed it over the
woman's shoulders.
''Yeu are shivering," he said. Keep
this until you are warmed. But do
the tribes in Arabia hate one an
ether?"
"All men hate" she answered. "H

differs. or if they dwell in different

bondsman following. Mean and

All CLUB WORK IN
RANDOLPH COUNTY

The All Agricultural Clubs of this
county are starting off with much force
and determination for a good years
work. There have been fifteen com
munities to sign up enough members
to constitute a club. They are Sharum,
Skaggs, Shannon, Holmes, Manson, At
tica, holland, New Chapel, Stokes,
Richardson Special, Moore, Union, Big
gers, Reyno, and Ravenden Springs.
Diversification has been the main
theme stressed by County Agent Kerr
and as n result there are 10 boys and
girls signed up for Poultry club work
and 75 for pig club work. The other
40 members are divided in corn, cot
ton, sheep, dairy, etc, making a total
of 225 boys and girls doing some kind
of club work.
The demand for pigs far exceeds the
supply and as a result we will be able
to supply only about 80 out of the 20
who want pigs. An attempt was made
by your county agent for 2 months to
get registered pigs, but this was not
practical and it was then decided to
get the best in the county that could
be found and place them this year to
hasten the restocking of the county
with hogs. These pigs could be regis
tered If the papers had been kept on
their sires and dams for or 3 pre-
vious generations. However, this was
neglected, due to the low price of hogs.
The Randolph County Bankers Asso-
citation is Offering some attractive
prizes for the best of these pigs at
the Fair In September. The boy or
girl who has the best pig at the Fair
will be awarded the price of his pig
and his note will be Cancelled. The
2nd, Bird and other prizes will also be
attractive.

-Four Of the most important rura
schools in Randolph county agreed t.

whether or not the voter desired the
four districts, Holmes, Skaggs, Brooks
Special and Dean to be consolidated
into one rural special school district tC
be served by centrally located school
with classes extended into the high
school branches
A total Of pa votes were cast, 10J
for consolidation and 40 against.
An interesting feature of the elec-
tion was the fact that all but three
electors in the Skaggs district voted ON
the question and every ballot cast
was for consolidation.
The new district is composed Of % 10
sections of the best land in north Ar
kansas. The real property in the dis
trict is worth approximately $1,000
OO0 There are 525 children of school
age in the district.

ing at the school election May 10. The
building will be Of brick and all pupils

ture is completed, which will be about
~ or IA months, according to the re-
port. The high school work during
this time will he carried on at the

ted chairman and Oscar Prince, secre-
tary. They are posting notices of the
election to decide the site and vote

A feature cited by Prof. Mock, coun
ty superintendent showing the need Of
a rural high school there, was the fact
that during the 81 years Randolph has
been county, only nine pupils living
east of Black river have completed Q
high school course of study. He states
that the women of the district deserve
mention for their tireless efforts in
support of the proposed consolidation
