BETWEEN FRIENDS
By Clarissa Mackiie? ? ? ?
The land of the desert shimmered In
the Intense heat. The son shone bra
tenly down from a merciless blue sky.
Shifting winds had riffled the aande
Into waveleta, with here and there a
mountainous billow.
Winding In ?nd out among the bll
lows were shallow Indents tlona- -camel
tracks In the sand.
Ford Cameron turned to his compan
ion.
"How long, Abdl?"
The Arab leaned from his horse un
til his face almost touched the sand.
With a single movement of bis lithe
body he sat upright again "Ten min
utes, salre," he said, with a shrug of
the shoulder.
Cameron frowned.
"The last caravan we ran Into tried
to rob ua of what the others hadn't
?tolen." he muttered.
"This Is the same one, effendl," re
marked Abdl.
"How do yon know that?" Cam
eron's tone was sharp.
Again the Arab shrugged. "1 know!"
"Let us go another way, then," sug
gested the American Impatiently. "My
Journey to the ancient ruins of 01b,
where I am to Join the archaeological
expedition, has already been Inter
rupted Ave times by encounters with
bandits and holdups by both Italian
and Turkish scouting parties. Is there
no other route we may take? one that
Is less frequented V
Abdt's fierce glance seemed to over
leap the billowed desert and became
concentrated on the far horizon, where
something glittered for an Instant and
then vanished.
"There Is a different route that may
prove to be safer," he said at last
"Lead the way, then," ordered Cam
eron Impatiently.
Obediently the Arab wheeled his
horse te the left, away from the route
which they had chosen and which was
the same taken by the thieving cara
van whose camel tracks had momen
tarlly halted their Journey
As Cameron followed his guide he
occasionally threw a glance over to
the right, where one might reasonably
expect to glimpse some trace of the
caravan which had passed only ten
minutes before. He was hoping that
they would elude the thieving Arabs
who had plundered their provisions and
tried to steal their horses. A quick
battle with automatic revolvers and a
repeating rifle had put the Arabs to
flight. But they hovered near. One
day's uninterrupted Journey would
bring him to the expedition camp on
the site of ancient Olb. t'rgent bust
nese had prevented hi* Joining the par
ty at the appointed place; consequent
ly he had to make this lonely trip
across northern Tripoli with the un
certain loyalty of an Arab dragoman
as his sole dependence.
Cameron decided to l>e on the look
out for treachery from his dragoman.
"What is that?" he asked suddenly.
Abdl Inclined his ear respectfully. A
faint yapping sound broke the stillness
"Jackals." declared Abdl. shrueginc
his shoulders.
Cameron knew that the Arab lied
and felt that his suspicions were eon
Armed. Therefore he said nothing.
He drank some strong eoflfee of his
own preparation and ate a few tinned
biscuits from his own saddlebags. He
decided not to sleep that night In an
unguarded moment Atjdl might mur
der him with a shot from the silver
mounted rifle he carried slung over
! his burnoose.
Cameron propped his saddle agiilnst
a sand hlHoek and, sitting down, lean
ed his bead against the leather hag*
Ills cartridge belt was buckled outside
his coat and in either hand he held an
automatic revolver.
The three horses. A Nil's, his own
and the park horse, which carried his
luggage. were grouped near at hand
Once again there came the distant
cry? of the Jackals? Cameron believed
otherwise Ahdl turned his head away
and llatened.
"K Is a signal cry," thought Cam
e*on, who knew something of the wire
less telegraphy ?f the desert tribes
"I wonder If It relate# to my affairs
or are they on ttie trail of Italian
scoots? Very likely they are on the
scent of other game? something big
ger than I can offer with my meager
equipment and silver watch."
After awhUe he arose and stretched
himself, offering a splendid target for
Abdi's rifle, but the tall Arab did not
even turn his head. He waa staring
out Into the fathomless gloom of the
desert as tf his falcon eyes would
pierce Its mysteries.
Cameron remained standing. He
felt a vague uneasiness creeping over
him. He thought he heard fotateps
padding to and fro in the soft sand
among the hillocks. There seemed to
be a burden of whispering In the still
air, but whenever he grew rigid and
tense with listening there was noth
ing save the raarmnrlng breeze trou
bling the graina of sand.
The horses stirred restlessly and one
of them whinnied. Cameron caught
the beginning of an answering whinny
?It wss never ended Something
stifled it Into silence.
"What was that. Abdl?" asked Cam
eron sharply
The Arab turned. "That, efTen?
Thy servant sneezed."
A grim smile curved Cameron's lips
"Traitor," he muttered to himself as
he listened.
After that a great alienee fell upon
the desert. The wind ceased blowing.
The horses drooped their beads and
were quiet Abdl stood a dark statue
throwing a gigantic shadow on the
! sand.
Cameron's 'fyts ached with the
watching and with a longing for ale*p
l to come to his burning eyeUds
Suddeuly a tiny spark appeared at
the top of a nearby hillock. It die
apeared.
Inatantly AMI atrtick a fu*ee and
lighted a cigarette. Aa hla lean dark
face was exposed In the flow of the
brief light, Cameron saw a look of
aagerneea spread orer the grim fe*
turee of hla drogoma*.
"A signal," 'Jedded Cameron, woo
derlug whether It would not be wlaet
to bowl the tndtor orer with one ahot
now and if there waa to be a battle
let It begin at once and haTa It orer
with.
There wonld be email chance of hla
eecaplng alive if the enemy ahould
surround him na they would ba likely
to do. Eren now they might be crouch
Ing behind the very aaud dune agatnet
which he was leaning.
Almost anything waa better than the
strain of waiting for something to hap
pen. He would give them ten mlnutea
more and then?. He glanced at his
watch and aaw that It waa two hours
after midnight.
He waa Impatient at the Idea of bar
ing hla arrival ?t Olb delayed by an
other day and lie could not understand
AMI's stupidity In prolonging the jour
ney except in the light of having be
trayed his master to the bandit*.
Abdl smoked hla cigarette peace
fully and Anally flung the burning end
to the ground. Cameron watched for
some answering signal bnt aaw noth
Ing.
?Terhapa It is the algnai to attack
now," he muttered and at that Instant
Abdl turned swiftly and yelled at him
"Baalek!" (Lookout!) was his cry. snd
It was flung a.i a warning to Cam
eron.
Cameron dropped into the ehadow of
the hillock and ?: waited with quickened
pulses the swift padding of feet among
the sand dunea. He taw Abdl throw
himself Into a similar attitude and be
was ashamed that he had mlatrueted
the loyal fellow even as he thrilled
with the reallmtlon that he waa not
fighting alone? there were two of j
tbem.
Abdl had the point of vantage; he I
could see what was coming. Cameron '
i watched hla dark form.
I Suddenly Abdi sprang to hla full j
height and screamed fanatically:
1 "Iji lllah Allah, Mohammed Raeoul
1 U Allah!"
There came a sharp shot out of the
silence that followed hla challenging
cry, and the Arab tumbled back,
clutching his area.
"Come on out of that, you Jackala!"
sang out a atrong English speaking
: voice from the direction of the shot
! that had wounded Abdl.
Cameron's breath nearly left hla
j body.
J "HI, there! Who are your he called
out
"The devil!" was the sstonlshlng ex
plosive retort "Come on, Appleby;
let's Investigate this ctvllUed Individ

against which the groaning Abdl lean

They stopped nt atght of the group

Trade At Home
IT is ? hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired the
mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. Tbe money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever aee it again, and where it ran do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
mile* away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue agama?mail order business
