Frank Donelly step- ped boldly fo^th in advance of his com- panions, saying " We came In the name ef Allah to ask ioT His free gift to all men, water." " In the name of the prophet, how many of ye tare there ' demanded a venerable looking old man who waa evidently the patriarch and chief of the triiie, and aa he put the queatioa the younger Bedouins stood to their arms. But when at a sign from Frank, Pat Monaghan came forward, supporting the trembling Nellio, they laid down their weapons again and langhed In a moat un- pleasantly suggestive manner, Frank thought. In another minute all three were sur- rounded by men, women and naked child- ren, whilst the modesty of some of the younger girls canaed them to lift their scanty holiday garments to hide their faces, albeit that the act lef c them entirely nude; yet this was their idea of delicacy, and who shall say tbat it was not quite as proper a one as our own, since 'tis the face, and the face only, that can exhibit evil passioiu of any description whatever. The women seemed pleased at the discov- ery that Nellie wore her hair cut straight across her forehead like their own, but the whiteness of her exposed neck, shonlders and bosom caused them apparently the most unbounded astonishment, as also did their plumpness, and 'they commenced to pat her glossy flesh with their little brown hands until the young English girl began to fear they must tie contemplating the cooking and eating of her. She lost no time, therefore. In bartering a bracelet that glittered en one of her rovind- ed arms for a crimson silk knfifeeh, or head- dress, that was sewn all round the edges with little s.lver coins, and the bargain be- ing struck she first carefully unfolded and examined her acquultion, and findins; It per- fectly clean, next deftly draped the exposed portions of her lovely person therewith, making of it a kind of fichu or chemisette. This accomplished she seated herself with her two oompanlona amongst their new ac- quaintances, who certainly showed no sav- agenets of disposition in their preseni; be- havior, but Instead hospitably pressed the fugitives to partake of their evening meal, which consisted not only of dates and honey and abundance of camel's milk, but also oi some savory kabobs that had been cooked over the fire, which the Bedouins, accord- ing to their usual custom, had lighted In a hole. Frank Donelly whispered to his compan- ions on no account to refuse the proffered hospitality, for not only did he fear that the doing so might give offense, but he also chanced to remember that in the fourth chapter of the El Khoran it Is written: " Woe unto him who tnmeth the edge of the Kword against them whom he hath en- tertained, for his name shall be blotted out of the book of life, and the flames of El Swat shall consume him," and he knew the Bedouins to be most devoted Mussulmans. He did not not know, however, that for conscience sake they were given to read the book of their phophet literally, and that whilst they would have refrained from using the edge of the sword because It was for- bidden, they would not feel the slightest scruple about killing with the point. Waatwon their present politeness was the fact that their guests were so well arm- ed, for the Bedouin of the desert (though he is not without courage) likes to rob and slay with as little risk to nimself as possible. Meanwhile Nellie sought to win the friend- ship ot her own sex by playing with and caressing the children, which she knew to be In generalthe shortest way to at all events a mother'sheart. And truth to say the shapely, naked youngsters were by no means unkissable, for their skins were of a rich brown and particularly soft and golden While thus engaged, however, her beauty seemed to make a great and, under the cir- cumstance' dangerous impression on the Bedouin chief, who after watchtog her In- tently for a few minutes through the pale blue amoke of the opium and hempseed that he was smoking, muttered aloud "By the ninety-nine names of Allan i would give two she camels great with foal for her, for she is moon facea and as lo vely asahouri." ax,-. Hearing and fully understanding this half mental soliloquy, which was uttered unconscIouBly by the chief whiUt in that half dreamy state which was produced by the vile mixture which he was smokii*, Frank Donelly represented that he aad his oompanions were tired tmd in urgent need of sleeD and rest. Then he gave NelUe a hint •'not to accept an invitation to sleep with the Bedouin wo- men in one of the tents, but If it was.made to her to say that she pref erredthe o?enalr along witii her -brother,' for that directiy theif enteri»lners were asleep, he hoped thev would be able to steal silently away STd^rebetokc tiiemselves to their horses and the desert."

Of oourae neither of the three felt tiie alighteat desire to slnmber, whereas the Bedoulna, on the otiier hand, went to aleep aa faat aa ever they could, for they were In no harry to take the blood of the Feringhees, through knowing that the repose of the fa- tigued sJways beoomessouodw toward morn- ing. Wherefore, resolving to cut the throats of the two men about an hour before dawn, they could see no reason why they should not take it easy during the interim, which they pro3eeded to do with the utmost non- chalance. 'Us true, however, that first half a dozen of their number went forth and found the three horses of the unbelievera, which they caught and picketed with lancea and trail ropes in a littie hollow cloae by, in compuiy with their other cattle Thia done, they alao lay down and went to aleep with clear conacienoea. The conduct of the Bedoubia aomewhat puzzled Frank Donelly. He saw nothing of the appropriation of tiie horsea, only ^eir hosts evidently saekiog a real repose, for that It w»] real their snores were not long in teetifylng, and thia action did .-not aeem to go hand In hand with treachery. At length he felt a drowainesa himself, and began to fear that pretense would aoor end In practice unless he was very careful to keep awake. So he betook himself to counting the brown limbs of the Bedouins, as they lay stretched in every conceivable, aye, and in- conceivable attitudes aa well, upon the ground, and after that he had a try at the stars, which, each one like a young moon, twinkled f.om out the indigo-hued firma- ment. Bu" :his ocoupatloo soon made him more drowsy than he was before, and it la hard to aay what might not have happened had not hja attention been suddenly attracted by observing a little boy approaching them with evidently the utmost secresy and cau- tion. 13ie moonlight, shining full upon hia plump, gOlden-brown nakedneaa, revealed the tact that be wsm tremblng violentiy, and Frank saw that he was bent upon reaohing them by a kind of detour, but for what pur- pose he could not even gueaa. He tiieref ore lay quite aHll and continued to watoh the boy a movementa, but not for long with any success, for the little fellow paaaed oit of sight, nor did he make the young officer aware of his presence again until, a few minutea later, approaching the trio from behind, he aquatted down iuat at their heada and began te gentiy touch each In turn. It waa then that Frank Donelly darted out a hand auddcnly and aelzsd the urchin by an arm, for he auapeoted that he had come to try to ateal aomething. In hia beat Arabic he demanded of him what he wanted. But he waa evidentiy not exactly nnder- atood, for the Bedouin, like the gypaey, haa a languatre cf hia own, and his chudren know very little of any other j Indeed, both racea, that ia to aay the Bedoulna and the gypaeya, trace their deacent from the same one of the twelve aona of Ishmael, and have many words, habita and customs In common. But all this Is neithor here nor there. The little fellow in questtoii, and who was a perfect Cupid in bronze, of about nine years of age, was acquainted with one intelligible word, and he whispered it twice I though his teeth were chattering in his head the while and his body all of a tremble. " Dour D.ur I" And as he uttered the words, which mean UteraUy, " KiU KiU I" but also signify murder or assassination, he ronght to make them more Impreisive by first pointing towards the neighboring camp and then sncceasively drawing a podgy- fin- ger across his abort sturdy throat and giv- ing it succession of digs Into the bronzed flesh of hU pretty little plump chest, roll- ing his truly magnificent eyes about the while as though simulating agony. However, without all this dumb action he was perfectly understood, and Capt^ Djn- elly let him know it. A look of satisfaction thereupon covered his face, and he next endeavored to express In pantomimic action thatif they would fol- low him he would show them how to escape, and herein he also made himself under- Frank Donelly resolved to trust to him ImpUcltiy, and Nellie, who had heard aU, encouraged him in the determination. She, in fact, recognized the youDgateras one whom she had more especially fondled and pUyed with during the evening, snd doubted not but that it was the notice whioh she had takeaof him which had atir- red up hia gn^tude even to the attempted saving of their Uvea, perhapa at no amaU risk to himself either. And now aU three got up and premred to foUow the little feUow, who at first led them right away from the aleeping Bedoulna, but then in a drde around the top of the pnnohbowl ahaped deU, and at laat down hito it anln at quite its opposite wrtrendty.

By rue good fortune, ndther their bridlea nor aaddlaa had been interfered with. Had they have been removed, the e ia no knowing how they would have got over the difficulty. "Now, darling, loaa not a moment," aaid Frank. 'Bnt I mnat aomehow reward thia dear little fellow for what he haa done." "Lot it only ba with a kiss, then for if you give anything that can be afterward found on him, don't you see how It will im- plicatehim?' Nellie could see it In an instant. ' You are quite right," she said, hur- riedly. "A kisa only it must be," and claaping the pretty bronza Cupid in her arma, ahe bestowed on him half a dozsn ere she let him go. No sooner had ahe done so than a dog be- gan to growl and then to bark. The Bodouin boy thereupon made them an Impatient sign to hasten away. But it was hardly needed, for they were already making (Jl the hurry baok they could. Frank Donelly swung Nellie up into her saddle and placed the reins in her handa. Then he mounted his own steed, Pat Mon- aghan losing no time in following hia ex- ample, and a second later, nodding their adienx to the Bedouin boy. In single file, and aa coiaslessly aa poaaible, they were making their way up and out of the little dell of the fountain. Hardly had they gained level ground, however, when the Bedouin camp aeemed to awi^e to life and action. The firat barking dog had been Imitated by othera, and now men 'a gruff voioea join- ed in and it waa plain from what they aidd that the fugltivea were already miaaed. Then all at once there was a report of a gun, followed by a shriek. " They have shot the boy. I know that was his scream," gasped Nellie. ' If it was they have done the littie chap a kindness by sending him to heaven, where- as had they let him five to be a man his ac- cumulated crimes would in all probability when he came to die have dragged him down to the other place," said Frank, to comfort her; the truth to tell, he felt very sad about the afiiair himaalf. 'Oh, 'tia terrible." aobbed NeUie. "But he only oried eut once, ao hia pain waa abort. When they catch ua perhapa they will torture ua to death, eh, Frank T" 'I've never heard of Bedoulna torturing their priaonera. Beatdea, we aren't their priaonera yet, Nell.

'But If they ahonld pnraue ua en their fleet dromedariea?" 'Come, came, Nell; we won't anticipate the worat, but the beat. Here we are; out of the oasis and on to the desert once more.

It ia astoniahing that we do not have epidemics of thia kind oftener with onr horaea. To fully appreoiatethe riak that ia incurred we need only vialt the ol^ er country towna on court daya or Satnraaya, and see the number of horses of all kinda and conditiona that atand tied and almeat touching each other in every available apaoe about town, to aay n thing of the numbera that are packed together In the publlo atoblea.

Taere are three p^rts of an ox which are more liable to te made sore by ordinary work In the yoke than any otherâ€" viz., the top of the neck and the shonlders. We often see oxen with sores ,on these parte. Sore shoulders are often cskuaed by the bow being too wide. Sometimes it Is caused by the bow being too square, or too shiurp on the outer edge. The bow should be perfectly round at the shoulder joint the drop of the staple, aa a gmeral thing, ahould come down about half W3y from the top of the neck to the shoulder joint the leader especially needs a more crooked yoke or a longer staple than when drawing on the rib. Many of our farmers seem to care but little about the yokes their cattle work in. They put them in too long or too short a yoke in the winter time, and they crowd ao it ia hard getting along the road and then the yokes are made by a peraon who doea not under- atand hia business and the yoke rolls back on the neck.
