An expression of pain swept
across her face; then little fierce

smiling encouragingly. ''That's
where your treasure will prove a
blessing. 1t can't hoodoo you any
more"
"Are you sure of that?" she in
terrupted, pointing to the speck on
the horizon. "Isn't that the lugger
again?"
Dick gave a violent start and fol-
lowed her hand. The object in the
distance was still too vague of out
line to determine its character, but
either through imagination or dis
torted optical illusion they thought
it to be the San Miguel returning to
finish the work Captain Tucu had
planned.
"Isn't it?" Rose repeated after a
long pause.
81 don't know" Dick murmured.
''It looks so, but we may be mistak-
en-. If it is"
"-we'll take a raft and leave the
schooner" she finished for him. "I'll
never stay aboard if Tucu comes"
"What good will that do?" He'll
overtake us on the raft. We couldn't
escape"
The truth of this, borne in upon
her mind, made her silent and
thoughtful. After a while her face
frightened. "We may buy Tucu
off," she said eagerly. Hell let
us go if we give him that treasure.
That's all he wants."
''That and the mythical jewels
/ from the steamer" smiled Dick.
She watched him anxiously, and
then sighed. II see," she murmured,

want both"
"Tucu's greedy"
"And you couldn't find the jew
els?"
''They never existed"
'Then we'll keep the treasure
Tucu'n never find it. I'll die before
I tell him."
Dick frowned. perhaps you'd
better buy your freedom with it.
He'll do that much for the treasure.

"Never mind that. 1 can outwit
Tucu. I did it once, and I'll do it
again. You make him promise
he'll put you ashore, and"
"Dick," she interrupted, "don't
talk nonsense. If it isn't enough to
buy life for both of us, it isn't enough
for one. We 60 ashore together, or
we stay here until the end"
The blur in the distance they had
taken, rightly or wrongly, for the
lugger remained stationary, or at
least so fixed point on the horizon
that it neither grew larger nor fad
ed entirely away. At times a mist
swept between it and the schooner
and temporarily blotted it out, but
it returned later, and always it ap-
peared a little closer, but not much

then meeting at the Lancaster
School Building on Beall street, now
o street. Members of the first YES
try were the Messrs. Corcoran, Hen
derson, Smith, Haw, Morsell, Nor

Building of the first church on the
present site, then Congress and

Is, 1918. The edifice was conse-
Grated by the Right Rev. DR.. James
Kemp, Bishop of Maryland, five days
later.
The church remained untouched
utnil 1867, when a growing congre-
cation forced remodeling of the
building. A second story was added,
the church proper being in the upper
floor with the lower one being used
for the Sunday school. During the
period of remodeling the congrega-
ton worshiped in the Georgetown
Presbyterian Church nearby. A
further change in the edifice was
necessitated six years later when the
city lowered the grade of both Con-
gress and Beall streets.
The cornerstone of the present
church was laid on October /, 1885.
It was dedicated June 2, 1887. The
structure, a miniature cathedral, is
considered one of the most beautiful
in the District.
Though the church was organized
in 1918, it existed as an independent
congregation in Georgetown parish.
In 1875 it became Christ Church
Parish, Georgetown, D. c."

Arab Kinqs Meet


King Ibn Saud's visit to King
Farouk of Egypt comes at a moment
which lends the meeting high politi-
cal and psychological significance.
Those two monarchs, by their very
contrasts, personify the larger har-
mony of aim and outlook which is
welding the Arab peoples into a
major factor in world affairs.
Ibn Saud. often termed the EN-
peror of the Desert, represents the
primitive dynamism in Islam which
has survived virtually unchanged in
Arabia, the homeland of the Prophet
Mohammed. Like the prophet him
self, Ibn Saud is one of those rare
personalities who has proved able
to dominate the inveterate tribaliSm
of the Arabs and unity them, at
least for a time. His power at home
has been greatly strengthened by
the discovery Of oilflelds which have
enriched his hitherto meager treas
ury, while his influence throughout
the Arab world is proportionately
magnified.
In contrast to this impressive fig-
ure, who might have stepped from
the pages OF the Arabian Nights,
stands King Farouk of Egypt. A
young man educated in Europe and
heading a country long open to
western influences, Farouk is as
modernistic as Ibn Saud is medieval.
Yet both monarchs appear to share
the impulses Of their peoples which
have brought them together in
common program for the co-ordina-
ton of the Arab world in joint poll
cies for the attainment of basic
objectives. That co-ordinative trend
Is exemplif1ed by the Arab League,
which has its headquarters in Cairo,
the Egyptian capital and metropolis.
At the moment, pan-Arab senti-
ment is focused on Palestine, vigor-
ously supporting the determined
stand Of the local Arab element
which uncompromisingly rejects pro-
posals for continued Jewish immi-
grafton and counters with demands
for an end of the British mandate
and the setting up Of an independ-
ent Palestine, dominated by the
Arab majority and destined for in
clusion within the projected pan
Arab federation.
However, Palestine is merely one
item in a program that includes the
complete independence of all Arab
states from foreign control or in
nuence of any kind. This means the
end OF the last vestiges of French
tutelage over Syria and Lebanon.
the abrogation of Britain's special
position in Egypt and Iraq, and the
extension of pan-Arab influence to
outlying regions such as the Sudan
and North Africa.
