On the voyage' she has many admirers, among them a • wealthy Syrian, Joseph Asad, who, Camilla learns, is in reality Has- san Isar, leader of fanatical Ar- abs in Palestine. She meets also the 'English -bred American, Ron- ald Barker, known as El Kerak; mysterious leader of tribes oppos- ed to Hassan. Camilla 'accepts the attentions of Joseph Asad • - alias Hassan -in order to obtain information helpful to Ronald Bar- ker. In Jerusalem she goes with Slim McManus to meet Barker at a designated place. Barker tells Camilla that he is to undertake a dangerous mission and warns 'her that she will be in danger if ,she continues touring with the American party to Haifa. Slim, a fellow tourist, has a fight with a native in the street. Slim •went into the garden to Ca- milla. He was not surprised to find Ronald Barker with her. •"'I wouldn't have had this happen to you for a good deal, Slim," Barker said. "You will, when you 'know what happened. I was in they tobacco store when who should come down the street, just as natural as you please, but our old friend Mahmoud ,Daoud of the Orizaba. I knew in a minute that he was laying for Ca- milla. He was keen enough to guess that after what happened on the Orizaba RonSld Barker might not be far off. When he st peal at the or - n" ge stall and took. a step past Am- aziah I ;knew he was rep to mischief, so I just came out and caught him by the arm. He twisted out of my grasp. ' I thought he was going to crack me one, .so I cracked him first and, he dropped down like a setting hen in Pop Amaziah's oranges. Well, that started the circus. He must have had a boy friend with -him for somebody began piling into me from behind. Then Mahmoud pulled a• gun but I got a grip on his wrist and sent it flying." "I can never thank you enough, Slim," Ronnie said. "Thank . Camilla,"• 'Slim said. dryly. "Anything I do for you I do for her. I'm willing to 'call it a day if you are, Camilla." He took one glance at them.

And then a thought came to her out of hercontr•itien- an inspiration that would clear her conscience and make all things right with Ronnie. She would find Osman Khali, herself -betray the hiding place of the descendant of the Prophet, if she could find it, and de- stroy Osman's religious leadership which was becoming so dangerous to the British plans. She must see'Hassan at once, for if she was to return with the party on the Orizaba, she would have a lit- tle less. than a week to carry out het; plans. But with Hassan suspicious of her motives the game wound now be doubly difficult. How could she even attempt to get the information she wanted unless she could manage in some way to cajole Hassan into be- lieving in her loyalty? In what mood could she expect. to find him since the defeat of Mahmoud's attempt on Ronnie's life And what had become of Mahmoud? •- She had the answer to one of these questions when the phone rang and Hassan Tsar's voice inquired for her. "All right, Joe, just a headache, so I didn't go to Bethlehem with Josie and the others this morning. I've been there before. Yes, I'd like to see you . . . Lunch here atone Delighted. I'll be down in twenty minutes." The maitre d'hotel showed them to a quiet corner where Hassan Isar or- dered her a cocktail and then a very good'' lunch. "I suppose I may as well tell you, Camilla- that my name is not Joseph Asad- In.Syria it's Hassan Isar. Across the Jordan they call me that." He added then narrowly, "You knew it, didn't you?" "Yes," she said, •"Ronald Barker told me." He went on quickly, "You're driv- e ing to Damascus' with the other tour- ' ists in a few days, I understand. I want you to know the real Syria that can't be seen from a motor bus. That'. what 1, asked you to lunch to talk about -didn't you suspect it? -a cara- van -a train of camels with baggage and servants and everything that you could desire. I want you to see the desert under these conditions, in the starlight." "It sounds fascinating. But I'm a- fraid." "Of what are you afraid " Hassan asked Camilla. "In America it's noth- ing for a girl to • drive with a man until three o'clock in the morning." T want to tell youag told Camilla coolly, "that when you go into Syria you may be beyond my help. I've told you the kind of man Hassan Isar is. He flatthrs you and you want to believe it. He has a bad ecoid -I warn you now again' solemn- ly against him." She didn't, like his tone nor the sev- erity of his look.. "Thanks," she i P.M. 2.30 2.48 3.00 3.22 3.23 8.29 3.4] 9.28 9.36 9.47 10.00 10.25 C.P.R.

"You see I'm more honest than. you are, I lay all my cards on the table. I want you at any cost. If I were sure of you you would lose half your charm." One of the Turkish -looking flunkies who stood around the revolving door of the lobby now approached him with a sealed note which her companion tore open and read. He pushed back his chair, still frowning. "Yes, Ca- milla, I -I'm sorry to be obliged to leave you but I -I've been sent for and I must go at once. If you'll ex- cuse me." He rose, bowed and went out, while she followed him slowly. At bhe re- volving door she saw' hint meet a man attired in a tarboosh and European clothing, and hurry -off in a taxi.' w She ound have given a great deal to know the contents of that note. She was sure that it had something to do with Ronnie. Kitty Trimble came in through the r•evoldrng doors like a squirrel in a cage and collapsed on the divan be- side Camilla. She seemed very -ner- vous and disturbed, demanding that Camilla did not want to drink but. agreed to sit ' in the cafe while Mrs. Trimble gathered Dutch courage to recover from what seemed to be a kind of nervous panic., When she had drunk she appealed to• Camilla. "You won't let them do anything with me, will you, dar- ling?" she asked. Camilla hadn't ' the least idea what she was talking about and said so. "I mean they might take me in and trump up some charges of con- spiracy against me. You'll have to speak to Ronald, Barker -he's so powerful in Egypt and Palestine. We seem so far from the American flag with all these shootings and bombings taking place every day. Poor Mahmoud! Two policemen took him off in a thine • I had an engage- ment to meet him, but ,he didn't show up. I just happened to see him ar- rested as he was coming to meet me. I -I'm really awfully worried about him, Camilla," Camilla succeeded at last in get- ting Kitty Trimble into the lift and went to the desk to wain for a mes- sage from Slim or Rennie. Ronnie sent no word, but Slim ap- peared just before Edgar Willing summoned his •tourists., The scar on Slim's forehead had a piece of court - plaster on it. Camilla told him about Kitty Trim- b.le's extraordinary nervous collapse and Slim only grinned. "Serves her right," he said. "She's been making mischief ever since she came on this cruise. I think she won't bother you - much after this, Camilla," he said dry-- ly. She searched his expression for a meaning. "I believe you're back of this, Slim," she said. "Not far back of it. I just told how. Mahmoud had tried to kill Ron- ald Barker this morning and that the police had evidence that Kitty knew more about it than she •wanted to tell." "And where is Ronald Barker, Slfm?" .. ni grinned and took out his cig- arettes. "I don't know, Camilla, un- less it's wherever Ali Andel is." and moved- again toward the door. "Then it's good-bye, Camilla?" "Good-bye, Ronnie -good -bye -1-I. -" She stood weakly for a moment and then went out with a rush,, She tried not to think of Ronald Barker for a while and gave herd attention to Slim, who complained of a head- ache. They found a taxi at the` headt. of the street and after a visit tp-,a drug store, drove directly 'to the ho- tel. Here she excused herself from the morning round of sight-seeing ares,, pleading indisposition, ordered coffee sent to her room and to Slim's. She was still aware of a dull re- sentment at Ronnie's new attitude which seemed 'to eliminate all the kindly momenta that had gone be- fore. He seemed to have forgotten that her affair with Hassam had been definitely ,planned by them both with the idea of doing Ronnie a ser- vice. And now that she had succeed- ed in gaining Hassan's confidence he chose to put a new light on her md- tives and to forbid her carrying ob. That wasn't fair of him. He seemed to have discovered some new kind of Villainy in Hassan -'s attentions some "I can't make my dog behave," runs• a coin taint typical, of nundreda k re- ceive. "He won't come when caned, he jumps •up on visitors, knocks over furniture, and isn't housebroken, what can I• do?" My answer is always the same: Any dog owner who will spend a lit- tle time each flay can •.train his dog 'to be an obedient companion --- no matter how long he has had the dog. Of -course, training cannot change dis- position;ivicious dogs are hopeless, but any dog of any age with a de- cent disposition can be taught good behavior. Every house dog should be trained to do the following, unhesitatingly, on command: 1. Walk at heel, with or without leash. 2. Sit down and remain seat- ed until called. 3. Lie •down and stay there. 4. 'Come instantly when call- ed. 5. Stop at a distance on signal. In addition, he should have the hab- it of • immaculate cleanliness and a clear comprehension of what is right and what is wrong. In this .training the master's tone of voice' is important, for by it the dog knows whether you mean to com- mand,reprove, or praise. Use the petting, the commanding, and the an- gry voice -each at the proper time. Do not shout: your dog has a bet- ter ear than you have. The only equipment you need is a leather leash and what is called a choke collar. The leash should bes soft, flat and -as long •athe trainer is tall. Two other things you will need: patience and kindness - they are more important than anything else.• The daily training period should ,be° from a half hour to an hour. Here are the directions for training: Heel. Carry your leash in the right hand, with the loop end around your wrist or thumb; also grasp the leash in the middle. Your left hand is thus free for controlling and petting. Lead your dog, dffi your left side, with a loose leash. If he goes ahead of you slow down, jerk, and command: "Heel." If the dog , hangs back pat your thigh and talk in a petting voice to bring hirer up to your left, giving the command: "Heel." Soon the dog will discover that his .. natural place is close to your side. Sit Down. Hold the leash in the right hand, short, just back ,,,of the snap, so that it is perpendicular. Put your left hand on the dog's back close to the tail and, at the command, "Sit down," press his hind quarters down- ward while pulling up on the leash. , Lie Down. Step back a few steps so that the dog has spaoe to stretch Mit on -the ground facing you. Hold your leash semi -taut in either hand. Raise your other -hand to the height of your face, then strike the leash so that you produce a jerk on the col- lar. ; 'Be sure the jerk is sudden. Be- cause of the striking motion, the dog wiH naturally duck, and the down- ward jerk combined with the com- mand, "Lie down," completes the' les- son. Never pet your dog after giving the command; this encourages him to get up. Voice end tone rousroustbe com- manding. Repetition will teach the dog to drop immediately when so or- dered. -. Stay There. When your dog Is .ly- ing down •on command, keep repeat- ing the command: "Stay 'there.' •Do not speak the dog's name after the command; this will act like the com- mand "Come" and destroy the mean- ing of the lesson. Regular practice will teach your pet to lie still for any length of time you desire. Come. Get your dog in the lie - down position, step back as far as your leash allows, jerk your leash slightly toward you, pat your knee, and in a friendly voice call the dog by name with the command: "Come." If he shows willingness to obey, drop the leash over his back and gradually lengthen your distence from him. A dog that refuses to come, or that runs away, should have a 25 -foot rope at- tached to his leash so that you can make him come or stop him. Should he attempt to break away, quickly step on the end of the rope lying at your feet, so that he will jerk him- self up short, • It is important to give the command "Come" at this mom- ent. Never allow your dog to come to you and then run on by. The in- stant he reaches you, command him to sit down. With a- few such les- sons, even the most undisciplined. dog can be taught to come instantly. Re- member, however, if coming to you is usually followed by an unpleasant bit of discipline, the dog quickly learns that it is better sense not tocome at all. Stopping at a Distance. Probably 25 per cent of our dogs lose their lives by being run ,over by automobiles. If your dog is trained to halt on com- mand when at a distance .from you, you can stop 'him from crossing the street when you see danger approach- ing. To do this, call shim to you fiem the sitting or lying down position; when he is halfway raise your right hand with a stern command: "Lie down!" Practice will make him per- fect at this, and he always will be under your control even whep several hundred feet away. " Hassan's sudden disappearance from the King David Hotel had meant according to Slim's theory, that the Syrian had gone to visit the Mayor of Jerusalem, the Supreme Moslem ,Council, or some other high political or rligious dignitary in the hope of releasing Mahmoud from prison. It was Slim's opinion that unless further friction developed as a result of the incident, Mahmoud probably would be released and sent back to Egypt under' a suspended sentence. This would be in accordance with the British practice of treating such cas- es with the utmost leniency. This conclusion had been confirmed when Hassan Isar came to the King David Hotel in time to arrange to ac- corSpany Camilla, Slim and Josie on the drive to Damascus.. Ronnie had not again appeared, but with an ail" of great assurance Slim had made himself a member of Camilla's party and, she had not objected. Indeed, now now that Ronnie was gone, she didn't know what she would have done without him. The road, contrary to Hassan's statement, did not seem to be as safe as Fifth A,venue, for rough stone forts and barricades were everywhere and the broken road showed where conflicts between the Arabs and the British had taken place. But the tourists were not molested and ate their lunch of St. Peter's fish at the Tiberias hotel on the Lake of Galilee. Lunch finished, with�a, great tooting of hox'ns as a salute to their depart- ing military -,escort, the train of auto- mobiles went around the head of the lake to the • RI-Irer Jordan, a sullen lit- tle creek which •thee crossed on an iroi'i bridge that looked as if it might collapse at any moment "You are now in mly' Country,"_ Vas- s= said after a wiiildcWith an Rif of pi~operiete'litaliiilr.• "14)& 00 in Syrian' ho continued,v"3iou tviltliartake of my just in a moment.

The most. urgent exercise periods are early . in the morning and right after each nneal. Once he has done., his duty out, side, take hien the next time to the same place; it will remind him and save you time. If he, has been un- cleanly during the night, put him in a box which gives hini just room en- ough to lie down comfortably Since. he wants to keep his bed clean, he will be compelled to exercise control. Do not whip him for a mistake; he will not connect his perfectly natural function with the whipping. Use your -energy in taking him out at frequent intervals. He will understand that. Do not think that while your dog is in training you should not play with him or give him a goodtime. Make the training interesting •, and pleasant for him, be lavisih_with pet- ting and praise, and you will \ have half the work and little trouble. Often it is necessary to break dogs of bad habits ;• for instance, prevent- ing' a dog from lying in living -room chairs. This tis easily done by put- ting a small mousetrap. in his favor- ite chair; after it has snapped and scared him several times he will un- derstand that he doesnrt belong there. It is fairly easy to teach a dog not to jump up affectionately on visitors. Whenever' he plants his paws. on. your waist, push' him over sharply so that lie will fall on his back. Hold the leash tightly to control his fall, so that he cannot land too hard. Re- peat this every time he leaps up on you. Few dogs will try a third time. In breaking a puppy of barking, first realize that a small pup suddenly tak- en from dais mother is unhappy and frightened. -The first night or two he will bark and .howl. Be sure.his quar- ters are comfortable, then don't go near him no matter how much he howls: If you go to him he will con- clude that all he has to• do is bark to bring you to ,his side; when he learns that howling does no good, he will give it up. Older dogs that bark at postmen, delivery boys, and other visitors whom they should know, do so out of shyness and uncertainty. A dog's vision is faulty at a distance; hence a dog who is not sure of himself will bark at any one who approaches, Ev- en when the visitor is close enough.to be identified as friendly by his scent -which. is more important to ' the canine intelligence than sight - the dog.will often continue to bark, simp- ly because he does not like to admit he was wrong in the first place. The best cure for such dogs is to take them frequently to crowded places. Walk the dog on buy 'streets, take him to open-air gatherings; so that he will realize that human beings in gen- eral mean him no harm.

Good shots at home areeasy with any camera. HOW many good pictures of your 1 �- home do you have in the snap- shot collection? And are•they really good ones? You know, it's just as easy to take a good picture as any other kind -and much more satis- fying Most folks made two mistakes in picturing a house. First they choose the wrong viewpoint; second, they tilt the camera upward. Maybe you don't make these mistakes -and if that's the case, your pictures of . home are probably better than av- erage. Good camera hpsition, and a property leveled camera, are "half the picture." A straight front view of a house is seldom the best view. Usually a diagonal View -the way you first see the house as you come along the street -els preferable. It's less formal, and more natural. This is the view chosen far the house In the picture above= -obviously more attractive than a "head-on" shot. 'rife level camera is important beeauset if' ou.uti1t the :eatiet`d. up, the house appears to• tilt in your picture. This can be avoided by shooting from a greater distance, which enables you to get all the house in without tilting the lens upward. Or, you can shoot from a higher position, which helps too. A sunny day is best for house pic- tures. Pick an hour when the sun strikes at an angle, as this shows up the details -the lines of the weatherboarding, the window °but - lines, and other features, You do not need to shove all of the house in every picture. An at-- tractive ttractive doorway or window bay, a gabled end e - these ' alone make highly effective. shots. "Framing" also lends attractiveness.
