noted the distended pupil with care.
"Well UNDER" he murmured. "But for
how long?"
Roberts, who had learned a great
deal of medical science in his adven-
turous career, recognized the signs of
returning consciousness with alarm.
That would not suit his intricate plan
of action in the least. How frightful
it would be, if for all his efforts Anne
Cleeves were doomed to death or to a
life of unspeakable shame.
His hypnotic drug expended, with
every means in his power Roberts
sought to prolong until the sunrise
the Inconsistencies of the young
Tchek.
Outside the tower, dawn was max
ing its proximity known by a feeble
grayness which rapidly deepened to a
sea of red.
"How long until the sunrise?" he
demanded of Selim, who stood SILENTLY
to one side. What if Tchek Ismail
cared nothing for his spirited and
troublesome son? The idea had not
occurred before. Perhaps the old-one
eyed devil wouldn't come. A pang of
self-reproach shook him as he waited
II should have killed her when
had the chance"
The negro stepped to the door OF
that foul little chamber, and on his
shiny skin was reflected a rosy glow.
Roberts heart sank.
Fifteen minutes, Sidi," he replied
"then comes the SUM-"
In an effort to hide his new fears
Roberts deliberately filled the hypo.
dermic with stimulating strychine, and
wondered if he would ever have the
opportunity to employ it.
Then from outside came a pattel
of bare feet running wildly along the
parapet, and a villager broke in with
painting cry that the Touaregs were
about to launch another attack.
Roberts pocketed the hypodermi,
with sigh of relief. So Tchek Is.
mail was coming for his son. He arose
and faced the doorway to descend to
the firing step where Selim had So
magnificently repelled the Fulas. eau

tiously, he advanced to the edge OF
the parapet and looked northward.
He caught his breath with a click
of alarm as he made out dense mass
of horsemen, pouring down over the
smooth golden shoulder of the norther-
most dune.
"Caux armes! Caux armes!" he
yelled, and the bugler Immediately
sounded the alarm.
"Ah," grunted Selim, "the old hyena
comes to fetch his whelp."
Behind his embrasure, the hollow
eyed engineer lay in new and dread
full quandary, while every man able
to bear arms crowded to the wall.
The Targui mass was plungng for
ward at headlong speed. If he gave
the word to fire, then shortly Anne
Cleeves would die. Did he not, the
foundouk was like to be engulfed in
that vast, overwhelming rush, and for
a moment he stood, shaken by a fierce
conflict of impulses.
He glanced for last time along the
walls. There were the tirailleursl
kneeling ready at the embrasures, and
beside them the tribesmen, desperately
adjusting the flints of their Anticipated
weapons.
Nearer came the headlong charge.
Attention, pour les faux de salves!'
roared Roberts, drawing his automatic
from it's holster. Fool that he had
been to think the old man would value
the life of his son enough to spare
the pitiful remains of the garrison!
He sighed, as he threw off the safety
catch. He had done his best, but, fol
all that, it had failed to save the lives
of that charming, impetuous girl and
those of the helpless villagers.
How the Targui camels galloped
With long, snake-like necks outthrust
and the streaming ornaments of theil
saddlery fluttering wildly in the wind
they rushed on, the horse-hair tufts
on their brides mingling with the
frantic flappings of the riders cloaks
and burnooses. 1t was breathtakine
sight, such as Missonier alone coulC
have rendered on canvas.
Roberts smiled bitterly to himself

president of the Denton National Bank
both of Denton, appealed to the Caro-
line County Commissioners, in session
at Denton last Tuesday, to restore
lights on the bridge over the Choptank
River, connecting Denton and West
Denton, as they were before the state
wide economy campaign eliminated
lights on all bridges thruout the state.
The cost of lighting the bridge, $76
a year, would be more than offset,
in the opinion of the petitioners, by
the improvement to the county and
county seat, which are thorougfare
between Baltimore and Washington
and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Citizens of West Denton, have sign
ed a petition for restoration of the
lights, when they consider essential
of the welfare of the, county.

So this was the end after all. There
would be no stopping that overwhelm-
ing, headlong charge with the few
rifles left to his command; an end
to all his struggles, to his ambitions,
to perish miserably on the spears OF
the Touaregs.
Unbuttoning his khaki jacket, he
drew himself up and prepared to make
a good end; but just as he was on the
point of shouting the fatal "Tirez" a
strange thing happened.
The main body suddenly pulled aside
their camels and milled uneasily in a
course parallel to the fondouk-a dark
weapon flashing mass. Only Tchek
Ismail-though he was wearing the
habitual blue veil, Roberts recognized
him at once-rode forward, naked
tulwar flashing in his hand.

out him the Targui will be helpless

"No!" cried the engineer harshly
"On your life, let him alone!'
Quite fearlessly, the one-eyed chief
of the marauders trotted up to the
very shadow of the gate and raised
his cleaning sword on high. The sun
struck it and glanced redly, making
of the weapon a sword of fire.
In answer, Roberts arose, stepped
into the nearest embrasure, folded his
arms and waited for the native tc

by the tremendous increase in PAN
American traffic, which has brought
thousands of visitors here this Sum-
mer, and with heavy bookings already
indicated for the Winter season.
Another sl1,ooO.O00 is being in
vested in new docking facilities, the

CRUISES TO START
AT NEW ORLEANS
Visit to Picturesque City Is
Excellent Prelude to
, West Indies Trip.

NEW ORLEANS. September 18.-
The Vieux Carre, or Old Square, in
New Orleans will echo to the tread
OF strange feet and the famous Mardi
0ras, which is scheduled in 1888 to
celebrate its centenary, will this VIM
ter welcome new type of visitor
the cruise tourist. AS a result of the
decision to send the Holland-America
liner Veendam on three West Indies
cruises from this city, New Orleans
will once more come into the spotlight
Is one of the most fascinating cities
Of America.
A visit to New Orleans serves as
hitting prelude to the West Indies.
Among the famous places to visit are
Royal street, called one Of the most
romantic in America; the French
Market, the Old World houses built
by the early Creole settlers in the
vieux Carre, and Nine. Begue's,
shrine in the past for lovers of good
food
Most interesting to travellers bent
on exploring the city as proper in
PRODUCTION to the West Indies will be
the one-story brick building at the
corner of Bourbon and st. Philip
streets. This is said to have been
the smithy of the famous buccaneers,
the brothers Jean and Pierre Laffite.
The pair pretended to be smithies, to
conceal their unlawful business OF
privateering and slave smuggling.
Jean Lafite in 1910 was the leader
of colony of pirates and smugglers
which established itself south, of the
city,.
He and his men preyed on Spanish
shipping and could not be brought
under control, even by the United
States Government. In 1914, when
the British were preparing to attack
New Orleans, he aided the American
forces under Andrew Jackson in re-
turn for full pardon for himself and
his men,
Lafflte could not. however, give up
his old career. Again heading a band
Of about 1000 men he continued pri-
watering against the Spanish, until
he became further involved with
American authorities in 1921. Laffite
then manned his good ship the Pride
and sailed away, where no one knows,
and so ended in mystery his life of
daring and law-breaking.

haps a suddenly dipping street,
perhaps a fanspread of cottages
round an open green-the vii
lage. And outside one of the
more substantial buildings q sign,
swinging loose upon a signpost or
in a projecting frame above the
doorway-this is the village inn!
The inns of England have their
foundations in the depths of the
Middle Ages. Some Of them have
seen the almost prehistoric
changes from crude earthen
floors to stone floors and from
stone, floors to mats of rushes.
They have sheltered Kings and
pilgrims, merchants and all kinds
of travellers. and between the oc-
casions of more spectacular hos
pitality they have gathered about
them all the richness of the So
cial life of the neighborhood, for
it is at the inn that men have
always met and expanded a per-
sonal and political philosophy.

Odd Names for Children.

Range, Philadelphia, Gentleman, Chi

Fathers, it also seems, like to bestow
the names of modern inventions on
their offspring and are fond, too, of
such titles as minister, king and

in the Bahamas.

NASSAU, September 18-To own
an island Is at the same time one of
the commonest and one of the least at
tanned of all ambitions. To be "mon-
arch of all you survey" is a vision
which has appealed to mankind
throughout all time. Yet in the Ba-
hamas 1t is an attainable ambition,
a realizable vision. For few hun
dred dollars an island may be pur-
chased. Several of the smaller islands
near Nassau have already been ac-
quired! in this way and have been
equipped in varying degrees for habi-
tation. Some boast elaborate dwell
ings, others have thatched huts for a
Robinson Crusoe vacation. The
islands are technically under British
jurisdiction. but ownership of one en-
titles you to live on it in a world OF
your own.
Helen Burns Higgs, in Presenting
Nassau reveals these interesting
facts:
Cat Cay near Bimini, is owned by
r. w. Wasey of New York, who has
built beautiful home there.
Salt Cay, more appropriately called
Treasure Island" by its owner, Johr
T. McCutcheon of Chicago, has very
comfortable house in which Mr.. Nc.
Cutcheon and his family have spen
many Winter vacations.
Whale Cay, in the Berry Islane
group, was recently purchased by Mis-,
