travelled 4 week two weeks paaaed without event and then halaytg the leader of the cara van shook his head uneasily behold sldl hr said pointing the sky has a veil over it and above the veil it la red

camp they supposed that sldl yusef slept they did not discover his absence until the storm had abated and it was time to resume the journey on the three camels which had been found consternation reigned hi the camp when halaytg burst from the young sldls tent bis face pale ss parchment and stam mered the dreadful news frantic search was made for the missing lad but the sand had obliterated all footprint and at length halaylg led his men sadly homeward with the news when the stbrm had abated and the terrific beat of the sun threatened to roast hhn as he lay exposed to its rays sldl yusef stirred and opened his eyes he moved painfully and sat up yea he discovered he could walk he was not seriously injured walk he laughed mirthlessly know ing tlu desert where shall i go truly my life must have been wicked that allah would let this befall met but since he grants me breath it is not for me to ue down and give up the lire en trusted to me at least t can find a place where there is shade beneath the rocks he found a shallow cave in which he rested until the sun sank in che west after which he ventured forth and made his way down the gully until to his delight he spied a caravan breaking camp to resume its journey in the cool ness of the night stumbling through the rockstrewn sand yusef hurried toward the caravan shouting as loudly as his parched throat would permit to his joy men saw him and waited to give him drink i am yusef son of sldl osman he explain ed after he had taken water he told all thai had happened to him and asked the leader to take him to the nearest city or oasis the man grinned unpleasantly hal the son of sldl osman eh speak you the truth boy yusef declared that be spoke truly jt is well boy growled the other otve to me then that chain of gold from your neck and the ring from your finger i and that bag of gold at your side ah that la right ahha allah sent you to me this day that r might have from sldl osman and shelb o do as he does unjust

fervently may thut be soon several days later the men paused at a larue oasis where caravans for all points passed there they found a imsl group of men and illfed camels returning to culm after making a journey ui the previous eoossfon i had defrauded sldl oaman your father and because of that ha called many men and took an that x had leaving me only what you see why did you not go to my father

to sidl osmana private apartment and with curious eyes watch ed all that was done what is it that the master intends to do he wondered sldl osman looked over the faces be fore him at his tide was yusef his be- lovwson at bis feet were the leading sheiks from the various districts over which be ruled farther back were the wisdom for its guidance yusef gave the man a fleeting glance before

tune these were pre sent out of curiosity since it had been whispered abroad that sldl osman had a matter of great import to tell to his people yusef looked over the faces and aawj far in the

intended to continue to rule our city and desert districts as they have been ruled then truly x should need powerful chiefs to protect me from enemies in the desert i learned that we have many such- be cause it has been the practice here to rob travellers and fraders of their gold why then should we not have enemies men uke not to have their merchandise stolen under the plea that they are being
