BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Septem-
Der 5.-Guards we're strengthened about
the central police department early
today and every precaution taken to
prevent continuation of disord-rs which
during the last "a hours have cost two
lives and caused serious fighting in the
streets of Buenos Aires.
Strong platoons of heavily armed
oficers have been placed at street
corners. Many alcohol lamps have been
distributed through the building, indi-
eating fear that the electric current
would be cut on.
The war minister, accompanied by
Gen. MarciIesi arrived at headquarters
\ few minutes after midnight tor a
long conference with the CHIEF of police.
Similar precautions were taken at
Government House. before which the
police halted all traffic.
Suuadrons of mounted police were
patrolling the principal thoroughfares
of the city at daybreak. Buenos Aires
was quiet.
Two Killed, Thirty Injured.
Two persons were killed and 80
wounded in rioting during the night
occurring when police attempted to
break up student demonstrations in
opposition to President Yrigoyen.
Eight hundred students gathered In
the Avenida de Mayo and forced them
selves unarmed through ranks OF
mounted police massed on the Plaza.
An individual on the sidewalk shouted
viva Yrigoyeni" and discharged a re-
vo.ver. This precipitated fight with
police, during which many shots were

The students rallied around banners
made of handkerchiefS soaked in the
blood of their wounded comrades, but
finally were dispersed by the constabu-
larry. Throughout the demonstration,
and other minor shooting ARRAYS over
the city, great excitement prevailed. A
number of theaters were dark and there
were few pedestrians abroad.

This had evidently once been a private room
in the resort Now it was dirty and dilapidated
but Harry saw table in the center Of the room
underneath hanging oil lamp. About the
table were seated the four most villainous- look
ing men that the boy had ever seen. They were
engaged in a game Of cards. intent upon the
play, their voices rising only to make their bets
or to comment on their good or bad luck
But Harrys eyes opened wide with wonder
at what he saw upon the table-bank notes of
all denominations, watches and other articles
OF jewelry. AT once he knew that these things
were the proceeds Of a robbery and that the
four men were criminals gambling for their loot.
Having seen this, he realized he was in acute
danger. Those men would not hesitate to use
the guns they carried il they knew that they
were discovered. Literally holding his breath,
Harry closed the door and stole back across the
room. He must find some shelter from the fury
of the sandstone.
And then the thought suddenly came to him
that If these men were here they must have
some means of transportation Horses? Perhaps
But an automobile was more probable If they
had car, perhaps he and Uncle George could
get away with it.
Steeling himself for the ordeal, he opened the
outside door and faced the wind and sand
again. Cautiously he circled the building In
the rear he ran into large touring car left in
the shelter of a shed. This, then, was the
means they had used to come to Skeleton
Valley. Harry hastily examined the car Peer
ing into the rear seat in the semi-darkness he
saw several bulky objects He felt them, and
then drew quick breath. They were railway
mail pouches! sudden memory of the
wrecked train they had seen that morning
flashed through his brain. These men were
train robbers! They had wrecked and then
robbed that train in the mountains. And train
wrecking was punishable by death in California
Harry now knew that his peril was greater
than ever. The first fury of the storm had
abated somewhat. Desperately he started to
fight his way back to the airplane where he
hoped he would stin find Uncle George safe

Babylon, the capital of the Chaldean Empi
For almost three miles along the river stretch
this city Of Babylon, city of thousands of homes,
palaces temples, monuments, all EMPOWERED in
beautiful trees and flowers, and surrounded by
a high stone wall over five miles in length.
1t was the city of Nebuchadnezzar the great
king who ruled here about $500 years ago and
who, after his many wars of conquest, spent
many years In enlarging and identifying his
city. His ambition was to become the greatest
builder in history and he erected structures that
rivaled even those of the Egyptians for beauty
and dimensions. He was especially fond OF
erecting shrines to the gods. Like dear life"
reads one of the inscriptions, "love the build
ing of their lodging places" OF precious stones,
gold and silver ard bronze, he built these tenn
PIES making the sacred abodes as bright as
the stars of heaven
But all this is in ruins. Part of the old city
wall is still to be seen, and much Of the old
temple and buildings has been brought to the
light by excavators but most Of the glory that
was Babylon's is as dead as is the famous king
who wrought it.

Ancient Aqnedncts.

II ever you travel through Southern E,lrUUe
particularly in Italy and in parts of France
you'll see many large stone structure stretch
ing In some cases for miles along the countrv-
side. These look very much like high brick
and stone walls containing hundreds of open
doorways. If you climb ON top of one of these
ruined structures, though, you will note that it
contains hollow pipe running throughout its
length, and a little study will serve to convince
you that the arches which form what YOU
thought was wall are merely the supports
for this long stone pipe
II you could follow such structure all the
way to its end you would find that it reached
toward a lake, perhaps up in the mountains
or river of fresh water, and you might also
learn that the other end of the arched wall
reached into some large city, perhaps so miles
or so distant from the water And YOU might
guess that the entire structure was some sort
OF method OF conveying water from a reliable
source to inhabitants in a distant village or
city. Your guess would be correct for it was
by means of such long aqueductS as they area
called, that the ancients brought their water
over long stretches of country to places where
1t was needed.
Most Of these old aqueducts are now IN ruins
and no longer furnishing water, for we have
found other ways In which water might be
given to inhabitants who live far from fresh
water rivers and lakes But they are interest
ing to us, for they tell us something of the
manners of the people who lived over 1000
years ago, and they tell us, too that these
people were highly skilled as engineers and as
builders.

Ruins of Babylon.

If you look at map of Arabia you will find
two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates, cours-
ing through the northern part of this country
and emptying into the Persian Gulf. Although
these rivers drain one of the most fertile
regions on earth, you will find if ever you sail
up them but few towns of Importance You
would hardly imagine that this region was once
the very center of great civilization and that
these two rivers were once among the most
important known to man. Prosperous towns
and cities dotted their shores and great com-
merce carried down the rivers in many boats,
and over the country on camel backs made the
country a wealthy and an important one.
But if you were to travel up the Euphrates
for about 200 miles from its mouth, you would
come upon at least the ruins of one of the
greatest cities of the ancient land city which
was once among the greatest on earth, but now

much of it still underneath the dust and the
