The Desert Rose And Her
[disability
It was summer on the des
ert. The little cowslips were just
beginning to slip one another.
From a grove of fir-trees came
the clear warbling note of a cod
fish. Just above the horizon the
classic dome of a gashouse was
was visible.
Across the rolling sand dash
ed Isshuf ben Beaneri, on his
ship of the desert, which was
very fleet. Behind him, on the
second hump, rode his newly
made bride, the sheik’s daughter.
Her puh pah, with his tribesmen,
pursued on l-h'dr racing hippos,
but they could not overtake the
tuh. as Ish was a dead beat.
For weeks they fled; then as
their food gave out, they became
weaker. They went so fast that
they soon ran out of water. Fin
ally, dying of thirst (even as you
and I), they took a fond fare
well and lay down to die. With
a last feverish movement, Ish
jerked out. his trusty fngersoll.
His face lit up, perhaps because
he was lantern jawed. They were
saved. Hi had found a spring in
his watch. —Manitoban.
