The Mysterious Phenomenon
Which Brought to an End
the Career of a Famous
Actress.

VENING after evening I sat on
L. the deserted left hand terrace
Of the Winter Palace hotel at
| -4--@ Luxor In Upper Egypt, waiting
Tor the mysterious aftergloW
that follows the sunset over the Nile.
This was very early in December, be-
fore the season had begun. Even then
there were travellers on the right hand
wing OF the terrace beyond the curve.
But my terrace, as realistically called
it, was unfrequented. Only a Nubian
servant IN white and scarlet occas-
lonally visited 1t Soft-footed to see If
wanted anything.
Now one evening when. as usual. I
was watching the sky and the river, Sc
cluded in red beehive chair and say
oring my solitude with an epicures
palate, I heard football on my ter
race. 1t was light, slow, almost drag
g1ng. and somehow very individual.

passed behind my chair went on
little way and ceased.
The sunset was Just beginning. The
river was subtly changing. There was
little breeze that evening A native
boat with a high -Cleopatra's
barge?-with mighty sail unfurled was
travelling proudly with the current.
Hawks passed above my head in the
Clear SKY, covering swiftly immense
distances with, as it seemed to me,
motionless wings
The pageant was at hand.
But I was listening for the football
which had ceased.
1 had already made up my mind that
1t was a woman's. had even decided
that this woman had something inter-
eSt1ng, attractive, unusual in her per-
sonality. A passing football on a ter |
race tells a man that? 1t had seemed to. |
That evening the sunset was exactly |
like the many other sunsets I had al |
ready seen in Upper Egypt, but I felt |
1t differently. 1t was as If only had |
attended to it, and nevertheless was /
more got at by its beauty and its mean |

added to it. And 1 knew that that |
something was the attention of another.

I felt I really couldn't venture on Il

Then she said few words IN English

got one for myself, and We sat down

nothing, to her. She wished somebody

Giant Arliner Crashes Kills Crew and 10 Others
EDITORIAL

The Nome Daily Nugget out Of its sense of civic duty, wishes to call to the attention of all citi- zenS entitled to vote in the forth coming city election, that tomor-
 row, Saturday, March 27th is the final day for registration
 At the time of going to press today the total registration is PIP, When this total is compar- ed to last years final registra- tjon of 403, it plainly denotes lack of interest in municipal af- fairs.
 Every citizen owes a duty to his community, to see that those placed in charge of municipal affairs from year to year, are truly representative of all the people, and not of any particular claSs or clique This cannot be accomplished unless every voter registers.
 There is another s.de that SO many citizens who enjoy the sui frage of the ballot overlook, and that is that their community is always judged by the size of the vote, when appropr .ations are asked for from Territorial or Federal funds
 It should be a matter of civic pride, for every citizen who pos sibly can, to register for the city e,ecton.
 City Clerk M J Walsh has kind ly offered to keep his office open for registration tomorrow Sautr- day, from 800 am. until lO:OO D. m.
 Let us all make the effort 50 that when registraton ends to- morrow night, it cannot be said that Nome is retrograding, but on the contrary. going forward to bigger and better times and conditions.
