Fifty yards away on the other side of the camp she heard Julian utter a loudâ€"longâ€"drawn moan. The sound made Lynnes scalp prickle for all the world as though she tos were afraid of ghosts. The men round the fire had heard it. One of them rose and looked about him into the encircling darkness. Then another joined him. _ THURSDAY, AUGUST 12TH, 1937 In accordance with Julian‘s instrucâ€" tions Lynne uttered a wail, as low and inhuman a wail as she could make it. The two standing servants started closer to one another. She heard the murmur of their voices, and then one of them frantically kicked one of his recumbrent fellows in wakefulness. Julian had suggested that the sounds would creats more tension if they were sparing with them; and so they were silent. In a moment or two the men were all on their feet, crowding together for company, looking fearfully about them. One of them went to the tent with the light in it, and in a moment one of the two Englishmen came out. In the dull light cast by. the fire, In the dull JigNt CASBL DY. .ULC . JiL€, Lynne could not see if it was Guthrie. After a long discussion he went back into the teht again. The protesting voices of the Persians arose into the night air. Julian gave them time to huddle down round their fire again, beâ€" fore he moaned again. Lynne followed the moan quickly with two lowâ€"pitched bubbling onesâ€"Oones as horrible as she could make them. The effect on the men was marrcu. They started to their feet with cries and exclamations. The two Englishmen emerged from the tent; one went back and came out again with a rifle, But by the time he was plunging, gun in hand, into the darkness to find the source of the trouble, Lynne had scramâ€" bled away from the cliff edage, and was running noiselessly up the long slope towards the summit of the ridge beâ€" hind. She hoped quick to get away "Heavens, Lynne, that last noise you madle was excruciating! That fellow with the gun, had a nerve! I daon‘t imagine that he felt very pleasant about having to investigate!" They agreed that the visit had unâ€" doubtedly had some effect. It was after midnight when they arâ€" rived back at their camp on the rocks. Lynne did not sleep at once. At first their evening‘s adventure occupied her mind; and then she fell to thinking of CGuthrie, and of what Julian had said. If a man of Guthrie‘s type did appear to admire her, there was no dgoubt noâ€" thing more in it than habitâ€"a customâ€" ary attitude towards women. She really would have to make up for the humiliation of having liked his face in the photograph at home in Beauâ€" mont Magna.

Lynne uttered her bubbling wail, and they all boited as one man into one of the larger tents. To be able to play so upon their nerves, and to watch the effect of the noise in the‘ pantormimeée of their actions amused Lynne greatly. The two Englishmen came out. of the tent and stood looking about them, listening and discussing the. situation. Lynne wondered if they, too, believed in the supernatural. The fire. was burnâ€" nere brightly tonight, and Lynne could distinguish: which one was â€"Guthrie. They stopped talking, and stood lisâ€" In the ‘prickly : bushes;~ half smothered by her black cowl, Lynne could not resist another wail, just to see what would happen. j ten feet from where Lynne Almost immediately Julian moaned again on the other side of the camp. Lynne thanked his presence of mind, as she moved hastily away through the darkness. There were two more. rifle shots; her heart jumped as she wonâ€" dered whether Julian had been hit. She paused, then went on again, and to her great relief he came panting alongside her a minute later. They ran, making as little noise as possible. ' "That swine Guthrie nearly got me!" Julian breathed. "He saw me moving in the dark!" "What do you suppose they thmk"‘ "From Guthries behaviour I shouldn‘t suppose that he thinks he‘s up against the supernatural!" said Julian. "But the men are just as scared as we hoped they would be!" + "We‘ll have to be careful toâ€"morrow night," said Lynne. "He‘ll probably be doing sentry duty round the camp all night with a gun," said Julian. "We‘ll have to cut toâ€"morrow night outâ€"except for a little scouting." Lynne agreed. On the following day Haffi took their camels to the wells at Shasti to water them, while Lynne and Julian lay low in the rocks.

EY a comfort about having an automatic in her belt, which made her careless of the repulsive satisfaction in Haffi‘s face when Julian said that he would not be back before nightfall. At noon she and Haffi sat down toâ€" gsther and ate tinned beef and bisâ€" cuits, and drank water"from the bag carried by the pack camel. Haffi seemed inclined for converâ€" sation. He told her how he had been: to Eurcocpeâ€"yes, to France,; yes, even to Paris. "Oh, that ees the cityâ€"that ees the place for Haffi, yes? the girls, the beauâ€" tiful women, the wineâ€"eh, it is all the most cute, as you say. So smart.

Lynne was amused at hearing this yellow and unsavoury looking villain showing off before her like any underâ€" graduatet. He talked on about Paris and Alexandria, and Tehran, showing how much he knew and how sophistiâ€" cated he was, with a leer in his eye that she did not like. § ut there was nothing said about the zlishmen leaving the old camp.

She closed her eyes and be asleep. A small pebbl face, causing her to start "Ah!

Never in her life having to deal with sutch a situation before, she hardly knew what to say, but turned her back upon him and walked away. "Ahâ€"ds> not be angry, Mees Orâ€" mond." said Haffi, following her. "Why are you in wrath with me? Do not be so cruel!" "Kindly go away, Mr. Haffi!" said Lynne, turning and speaking calmly and curtly. "If you sit over there by the camels, I will sit here." *""The camels!" said Haffi, holding his hnooked nose with a podgy thumb and fcrefinger. "They have. the smellâ€"ah, horrible! The stink! But youâ€"you my sweet leetle Mees Lynne, have the perâ€" fume as sweet as roses, you smell to me more delightful than a flower garâ€" den. How can the camels be to a man what a beautiful smart woman is?" Lynne felt that she might be able to think of this speech of Haffi‘s later, and laugh about it. But just now it was an urgent matter to deal with him; beâ€" cause she had inadvertently walked into a blind alley in the rocks and now found herself cut off by a high perpenâ€" dicular face on three sides. Haffi, seeing his advantage, said with a triumphant leer: "Ah, do not be in wrath, now!" He advanced towards her, his round face wreathed with a greasy, Ssuggesâ€" tive smile. Lynne backed away and quiâ€" etly drew her automatic from its holâ€" ster on her belt. f Haffi looked startled and stopped. Lynne said: "Now will ycou kindly go away, Mr. Haffi?" Haffi backed away, a dull flush in his jaundiced face. "What is this? Why do you do that?" he protested sullenly. "I do not mean you the harmâ€"I am amiable towards you. You are very what they call stuckâ€" up, I think!" "I am!" said Lynne. "Very stuckâ€"up!" Haffi backed out of the alley in the rock still protesting, and Lynne followâ€" ed him, her automatic ready in her hand. In the open he turned and walkâ€" ed away, looking back now and again and calling her names in his own lanâ€" He went over to the camels about a hundred yards away, and stood there locking towards her.

She had no definite knowledge of when Julian would be back; it might not be uintil the morning. But she felt that Julian depended on her to take care of herself;: and so she would.

RAW APPLE AND RAW BANANA DIET I have written before about the raw apple diet for diarrhea in infants and children. The raw apple absorbs orâ€" ganisms and collects mucous, thus cleaning out bowel and giving it a fresh start, as it were. The raw apple dies is now in use in boath Europe and America. What may prove equally helpful in stomach and intestinal disturbances in children is a diet of bananas instead of raw apples, or a combination of apples and bananas. Dr. Theophil Baumann, in one of the European journals of childrens diseases, states that the raw banana diet has certain advantages over the raw apple diet in the treatment of chronic intesâ€" tinal disturbances of children. "Bananâ€" as are readily eaten by children, do not irritate the intestine, and have a high food value thus preventing aciâ€" dosis due to hunger. Bananas are rich in minerals and in nitrogen which preâ€" vents any rapid loss of weight. There are also better formed stools, and less gas formation with the bananas.‘ SHOWROOMS, 7 THIRD AVE. Jas. W. Barton, M.D., Toronto in children over nine months of Pout $ That 1Bo0p that the banana, the raw apple, or the apple powder is best suited; the diarâ€" rhea is more quickly controlled and there is less chance of it returning. "To cbtain the best results, after an interval of six to twelve hours (in which only tea is given) raw fruit and tea (using saccharine instead of, suâ€" gar) are given for three or four days. Depending on age, four to eight bananâ€" as per day are given or the same numâ€" ber of apples. The bananas are peeled and cut up fine, the core is removed from the apples and also the skins if they are to be given to infants, and they are then grated. Older children can be given a mixed diet of bananas and apples. The change to the normal diet should be made gradually.‘ Most youngsters are of bananas, they are rich in food value and mineral salts, and digest easily. Apple powderi is to be preferred to apples because it does not contain the irritating fibres of fresh apples.

Like most things in this world, the Mounted Police force is, of course, becoming mechanized. It is getting about with motorcycles and motor cars. which are miuch swifter than horses, and with airâ€" planes, which are swifter than motor cars and can peretrate beyond the reach of nighwys. But the horse reâ€" mains the basis of the corps. The horse may be less useful than he was in the old days on plains. But he is as picturesque as ever.
