CHAPTER V111
SYNOPSIS
Camilla Dean, charming Ameri-
can girl, is. touring Egypt and
Palestine with a party of Ameri-
cans. 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. "I'll just wait outside," • he
said.

new kind of danger in this visit to I
Syria which had not existed before,
She did not know when she was
going to see him again, ter she was
aware that she had nothing to
hope for now from the "jinni in
the bottle." 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

He' smiled again. "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

friends and relatives who would be

He frowned at his coffee cup and
spoke slowly., "None of these things
should matter, to you if you cared for
me as you $aid you did the other
night on the train. Or was that just
a convenient falsehood? Oh, it
doe'sn't matter to me it you lied that

"Who gave you this idea? Kitty
Trimble?"
"Yes, she says you're in love with
Ronald, Barker." .

"What else can I believe?" He
gave her an unpleasant smile and

Peace through the night. 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. In extreme

suddenly on him.
Never whip your dog unless he at -
exits a human, being or viciously at-
acks another dog. In. either case the
whipping should be immediate ann. .
severe.
Once a dog has had the training
here outlined,he will not forget ;it.
You will find that his immediate obed

considerably less ruffled, and you will
be able to take your dog With you
anywhere, without worry - through

to the homes of your friends.
Your reward for the time and trou-
ble of- 'training will be a,well-manner-

for thine as he is always willing to de-

PICTURING THE HOUSE
A good camera position, sunshine striking at an angle, and a tree for
'framing" -all help make a pleasing home picture. Good shots at home
areeasy with any camera.
HOW many good pictures of your

shot collection? And are•they really
good ones? You know, it's just as
easy to take a good picture as any

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

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

shooting from a greater distance,

higher position, which helps too.
A sunny day is best for house pic-

strikes at an angle, as this shows
