Van Winkle returned to the yacht at once, but his compan- l ions stayed ashore to do some shop- ] ping. When they approached the Filt- _ -L--...AA an flnflfinfil HE summer is scarcely a good ‘ time to visit Egypt, but Monty t and his guests had a desire to 1 see even a little of the northern t. coast of Africa. It was decided, there fore, that after Athens the Flitter should go south. The yacht had met them at Naples after the automobile 11 c l I processionâ€"a kind of triumphal prog- ressâ€"was disbanded in Florence, and they had taken a hurried survey of Rome. By the middle of July the party was leaving the heat of Egypt and finding it not half bad. 1New York was not more than a month away as Brewster reckoned time and distance, and there was still too much monéy in the treasury. As September Idrew nearer he got into the habit [of frequently forgetting Swearengen ; Jones until it was too late to retrace this steps. He was coming to the l "death struggle,” as he termed it, and 'there was something rather terroriz- ! ing in the fear that "the million might \ die hard.” And so these last days and . nights were glorious ones, if one could 'have looked at them with unbiased, ‘ ! untroubled eyes. But every member ‘ of his party was praying for the day when the Flitter would be well into the broad Atlantic and the worst over. , At Alexandria Brewster had letters to § some Englishmen and in the few en- Itertainments that he gave succeeded '3 once again in fairly outdoing Aladdin. l. A sheik from the interior was a guest at one of Monty’s entertain- ments. He was a burly, hot blooded . fellow, with a densely populated l t harem, and he had been invited more ‘ as a curiosity than as one to be hon- \ cred. As he came aboard the Flitter Monty believed the invitation was l more than justified. Mohammed was ' made so much of him that it was small wonder that his head was turned. He fell desperately in love with Peggy 1C1] “coy\5u»v..v -â€" Gray on sight. and with all the com- posure of a poteututc who has never been crossed he sent for Brewster the next day and told him to “send her around.“ and he wouid marry her. CHAPTER XXIII. preter took a hand at this juncture. and the doughty captain finally was made to understand the object of the visit. He laughed in the sheik‘s face and told the mate to call up a few jackies to drive the “dagoes” off. Rip Van Win- kle interfered. and peace was restored. The cruise had changed Rip into a hap- pier and far more radiant creature. so i it was only natural that he should have Ishared the secret with Mary Valen- tine. He had told the story of the sheik's demand to her as soon as he came aboard, and she had divulged it to Peggy the instant Rip was out of sight. Brewster found the sheik sitting in state on the upper deck impatiently awaiting the appearance of his charm- er. He did not know her name, but he had tranquilly commanded Rip to pro- dnce all of the women on board so that he might select Peggy from among them. Van Winkle and Bragdon. who now was in the secret, were preparing to march the ladies past the ruler when Monty came up. A.. . ‘_,_ _‘ A. “Has be seen Peggy?" ne asxeu or Van Winkle. “Not yet. She is dressing for the oc- casion.” “Well. wait and see what happens to him when she gets over the first shock,” laughed Monty. . ' Just then the sheik discovered Peg- gy, who, pretty as a picture, drew near the strange group. To her amaze- ment, two slaves rushed forward and obstructed her passage long enough to beat their heads on the deck a few times, after which they arose and ten- dered two magnificent necklaces. She was prepared for the proposal, but this action disconcerted her. She gasped and looked about in perplexity. Her friends were smiling broadly, and the sheik had placed his hands over his palpitating heart. L9,_‘A_‘,3 râ€"â€"r _______ “Lothario has a pain,” whispered Rip Van Winkle sympathetically, and Brewster laughed. Peggy did not hes- itate an instant after hearing the laugh. She walked straight toward the sheik. Her cheeks were pink, and her eyes were flashing dangerously. The persistent brown slaves followed with the jewels, but she ignored them completely. Brave as she intended to be. she could not repress the shudder of repulsion that went over her as she looked full upon this eager Arab. vvâ€" _ Graceful and slender. she stood be- fore the burly Mohammad. but his ar- dor was not cooled by the presence of so many witnesses. With a thud he dropped to his knees. wabbling for a moment in the successful effort to “Oh. joy of the sun supreme, Jewel of the only eye, hearken to the en- treaty of )Iohammed.” It was more as if he were commanding his troops in battle than pleading for the tender compassion of a ladylove. “I am come ‘ for you. queen of the sea and earth and sky. My boats are here, my camels there. and Mohammed promises you a palace in the sunlit hills it you will but let him bask forever in the glory of applauded as vigorously as it they were approving the actions of a well drilled comic opera chorus.

For the next three or tour minutes the air was filled with the “jewels of Africa,” “star,” “sunlight.” “queen," “heavenly joy.” “pearl of the desert.” and other things in bad English. that could not be r a thousand years. In gallant sheik drew a long breath, screwed his face into a simpering grin and played his trump card in unmis- takable English. It sounded pathetical- ly like “You're a peach.” . An indecorous roar went up from the white spectators. and a jacky in the rig- ‘ suddenly thinking of home, piped ! ging. l up with a bar or two from “The Star I Spangled Banner.” . ._ - .1 _.kn+ kn nnneifl. Opuugxcu u sssssss Having accomplished what he consid- ered to be his part of the ceremony, the sheik arose and started toward his launch, coolly motioning for her to fol- low. So far as he was concerned the matter was closed. But Peggy, her heart thumping like a trip hammer, her eyes full of excitement, implored him to stop for a moment. -- Aâ€" k“‘ T "I appreciate this great honor, but I have a request to make,” she said clear- ly. Mohammed paused irresolutely-and in some irritation. “Here's where the heathen gets it among the beads,” whispered Monty to Mrs. Dan. And he called out. “Captain Perry, detail half a dozen men to pick up the beads that are about to slip from his niajesty's neck.” (i‘n he couti-nu-d.) Women and the Law. Most married women imagine that they are mistresses in their own houses, but that, it appears, unless they actual- ly hold the deed to the propertywis a delusion. “It should be distinctly un- derstood,” said Judge Swartz of Nor- ristown, Pa., in a recent case, “that the ‘ husband is master of his own house. The wife has no right to invite or ad- mit her mother or any one else to the house against her husband's will.” The judge was good enough to add that the wife might go to see her mother when- ever she wished, provided she did not go so often as to neglect her duty to her husband and her home, but he did not say that a man must see that the kindling wood was chopped and the water pails full before he indulged in a visit to his {amenâ€"New York Trib- une. A Shirt “’uist Box. Almost every woman owns one of the chintz covered boxes, commonly called window seat boxes. which are invaluable in a small apartment for holding silk skirts, shirt waists or hats, but very few of them are fitted with trays, which greatly increase their convenience. If you are at all handy, however, a very little time and work will settle the matter. Take a strong pasteboard box and line and cover it with silesia, chintz or any- thing that is convenient and looks well with the lining of the other box. Do | not use cheesecloth. Things stick to it.

The best method of cleaning any ala- baster ornament is to first remove any grease with spirits of turpentine and then to place the article in water for ten minutes or a little longer if very dirty. Next rub all over with a paint- er's brush and leave to dry. Then rub again with a soft brush dipped in plas- ter of paris. Glove Maxims. A. woman who is careful of her hand must be careful of her gloves, for this is most important. If they are tight they ruin the shape of the hand; it they are badly cut they give a com- mon aspect to the whole appearance, and such gloves are the dearest in the Fix It Now. There is that bit or gimp or fringe which has been hanging for some time from the chair or couch. Just a few moments with a tack hammer and a few gimp tacks and these pieces of fur- niture will lose that run down at the heel sort or look they have had. Frosting For Cake. One cup or frosting sugar, two ta- blespoonfuls of water; boil together; take it on the stove and stir in the wghite of an egg beaten to a stiff froth; stir all together well, then frost your cake with it. and you will never want a nicer frosting than this.

His strange con- duct will lead the farmer to beliete him insane ; and friendly and genial as he will prove to be on approach, the explanation he will give of the i work he is doing will probably serve I to confirm the farmer’s worst fears. He will eXplain that he is hunting 1 fossils, and he will eXplain that ios- l sils are little stone wigglers of one l kind and another embrdded in the 1 rocky formation he is examining. 1 The man will be Mr. Joseph Towns- end, formerly editor of the Grey Re- view in Durham, and with a news- papel' experience covering Dundalk, Orangeville, Elora and Guelph. Perhaps no man has done more than Joseph 'lownsend to search out and classify the geographical Specimens procurable in Ontario. He has made it the hobby of his life, and with little reward has sacrificed all his interests to the work. The collec- tions at Ottawa and Toronto have been largely made up by him, and the remuneration he has received has been sma‘l. although he was glad enough to work and collect for love of the task. For the first time in his life Mr. Townsend has got an oppor- tunity to throw himself into his task and revel in it. The Provincial Ufli- varsity has commissioned him to pursue his investigations for four, months this summer. half the time in} country from Peterboro to Ottawa, and the other half in the country west of Winnipeg.
