On the voy- age she has many admirers, among them a wealthy Syrian, Joseph Asad, in reality Hassan Isar, leader of fanatical Arabs in Palestine. She • meets also the English -bred " American, Ronald! Barker, known: as El Kerak, myie terfous leader of tribes ,opposed to Hassan. Camilla accepts the attentions of Asad to obtain in- formation helpful to Barker, who has warned her that' she may be in danger if she continues' her tour. She accepts Hassan's invi- tation to go. to Damascus, accom- panied by some of her American friends. She visits the home of Hassan's father, the sheik Arif- el-Arif, where she is joined by Hassan who renews his proposal of marriage; but she refuses him. Hassan smiled and indicated the way indoors. Josie and Arif were waiting for them. Josie was wander- ing around the room, examining ev- erything. Josie was bored, for Arif, weary of his tales of the Turkish and British wars,' had fallen asleep. Camilla's eyes missed nothing. The oblong package on the taboret by the divan had not been there when she and Hassan had gone out on the ter- race. With a quick glance at Arif and Josie, Hassan, went at once to the taboret and picked up the package, putting it 'under his arm. Arif awoke slowly, gasping like a grampus. "Parbleu, •Mademoiselle, forgive me a. thousand times!" "It is time we were going, Josie," Camilla said. • "Oh, yes. but I have fallen asleep. You will forgive' the failings of an old man?" He stretched his legs and scrambled down from the divan with difficulty while Hassan stood glum and, silent with an expression of very unfllial disgu t. "You will r rve me, Mesd foisei- les? I have be n a very poor host. I have outra ed most sacred laws of hospitality.- But -•I shall atone.. I shall atone at once for giving you both little gifts with which to, remem- ber me pleasantly. Will you excuse me a moment " ' He went into the other room. Has- san glanced keenly from 'one •girl to the other. "If you will excuse me, Camilla, I will order the car at once," he said, and went quickly out of the room. There was just a moment for Ca- milla to• whisper. "When was that package .brought into the room?" "A servant brought it .a. few mom- ents ago." Tigris -Bagdad." "Are you certain? You've found out something I wanted to know. Write it down, Josie, at once, and let me have a copy." After the excitement of the day and the strong coffee of Arif, Camil- la decided that sleep was impossible, She lay, her eyes wide open, staring at the flickering reflection of the street lights on her ceiling, complete- ly at the mercy of her imagination'. The thought came to Camilla to find the British consular agent at Damascus and put the whole case in his charge. But• after consideration she realized that this was not what Ronnie would have wanted her to do, especially as there seemed no cer- tainty that she was on a true scent. And there was also the pride in her achievement and the wish to accom- plish the arrest in Bagdad if possible. And if she couldn't find out where Ronald Barker had gone what was she 'to do? Must she . go to Kufah on the Tigris at Bagdad and try to find. Osman? And if she succeeded in andiug him what was she to do with him? Tell trim that she was a young .:>,merican girl who very much wanted him to be given into the custody of the British? That was a laugh. She began to see untold trouble w.in the way of an American doing anything In a Frencli -Mandate or a' Turkish ;,ity with a fugitive ,demanded by the Britisih Government. Of course, Ron- nie would have found some way of circumventing this difficulty - such es, perhaps, using hijacking methods and kidnapping the distinguished gen tleman. Camilla was sure that she wanted to see Ronnie more than she .had ever wanted to sea him before, Mat he was the only „man wnhor could got things straightened • out. She couldn't marry Hassan if he, promis- ed her all the treasures of the East. She was suddenly sick. of dissimula- tion and deception too. She could not lie any more even to help Ronnie. It was almost eleven when Josie called her to the window at the front of the hotel where a great crowd of tourists, French soldiers -from the bar racks near -by, street merchants and small boys surrounded Michael Gay and \his bus which had jnst arrived from Beirut. She examined the crowd and made out the tall figure of Slim, finding off people from Michael as he. descended after his dusty night on the road. Other members of Mr. Wii- iing's party moved to and fro com- menting on the American 'bus with great enthusiasm. And any doubt that Camilla might have had as to her choice of going to Beirut as• Ron: ald Barker might have wished, or going on to Bagdad With Michael Gay was. at once dispelled. 'Downstairs, she found the party -from the Orizaba talking with Micliael. 'Phe roads from Beirut were 'good. Michael was all A sharp -featured fellow stack his nose in at Kitty Trimble's window and made an ugly face at her --- "Did you have a chance to examine it?'' Sosie looked Up a little startled at the earnestness in Camilla's voice. then nodded -uncertainly. "Yea, I did. Curiosity, I guess." "For goodness' sake, try to remem- ber what was written on it, Josie. Im- press it on your memory now, don't forget-" Arif blustered into the room,' -fully awake end smiling. In his hands were two golden objects and he ex- tended them on his fingers toward -the two girls=two bracelets of twisted gold. • "A mere trifle," 'he said, still gasp- ing from his efforts, "just a remem- brance of our frien'ds'hip in the hope you'll forgive • my inhospitality." - Hassan came !rift alt inner door while a servant' announced that the automobile was waiting to convey the ladies to their hotel. Hassan helped them into their wraps and silently showed alhem into he car. Camilla did not dare to question Josie tfntil they reached their rooms when she olesed the door, whispering quidkly, "Did you read the address on the package while Arif wad asleep?" Josie rfoddhd, "1t lyres itt AAble or Syriac or Sei ethdaig'." .

Mail came to the desk;) but none of it was for Camilla -no word that night or the next day from Ronald Marker. Not even' a card from Has- san. That incident, it seemed, was finished. Mr. Willing, having tourist business in Damascus, turned the patty over to 'Michael, who drove seated beside his Syrian Chauffeur and guide. The Syrian's name was Zaagi and he spoke English and -French. telling tales of the country they were pass- ing through and of the tribes that in- habited them. From time to time tr passed' caravans of moth-eaten camels and di miedaries - bn the road to Palmyra, But more interesttr.g were the tr'besmen, in kaffiyeh and kunibaz, rliling spit.itad horses veteelr pranced and pirouetted as the great busy thundel'ed past and the riders shot their rl'es into the air, tb v bul- lets whizzing close to the bus v.nile they' sh d and laughed in amuse - 'Meat at a ••o'r.»+Ht:;:`- "" P I. hattGla to me . that drtcrotivl ,►rr a dartsnight without a machine gun, a low'.ioeilbb and deft tear gas," Sri rl Wild: But the eliuttfrrttr only dinned the superior inane of the *yrie% flab' it more superior than any smile in the world. "Machine gnus! Bah, nion- st ur, would you shoot with . machine guns et a lot of children? It Is their way. They are just having a good time;" "Sure! But the next bunch may not think they're having a good en- ough time. I'd feel more comfortable if, we had some rifles and ammunition in case they gang up on us." Zaargi laughed again. He seemed to find a great deal of pleasure in Slim's remarks. Michael••drove carefully and when a herd of cattle blocked the way, wait- ed,patiently until they had passed. A sharp -featured fellow stuck his nose in at Kitty Trimble's window and made an ugly face: at her so that she screamed in terror. If Heesan had been in the party he would have pre- vented any such unpleasantness. She wanted Michael to turn the car and go back to Damascus, but Janet and Josie laugher at Ther. Camilla confessed to herself a slight uneasiness over the indifferent air of the guide, Zaagi. But he bad come well recommended from the most, respectable garage in Beirut; and bore credentials from the French government. "Besides," Michael added in explan- ation, "he brought me an excellent letter from. Hassan Isar." "Hassan!" Slim's mouth sagged op- en. "1 guess that makes it unani- mous..Say, Camilla," the muttered, "I' don't like that Zaagi guy a little bit. If he rune us into any .trouble, he'll be the first one to go . , Slim was rather proud of his big automatic which he carried in a shoulder holster and exhibited child- ishly. Michael had 'a gun, too, and Janet "Priestly carried a little twen- ty-two Smith and Wesson in her hand bag. Zaagi was driving now and Michael joined them in one of the rear seats. Michael 'was more interested in the performance of bis great engine of transportation than in any social or diplomatic question. The road they took was unlike the hard -surfaced and graded highways from, Jerusalem or Beirut. Caravan travel had ironed out some of the rough spots but it was still merely a trailGi the desert, and it t000k careful driving 'to avoid the rocks that were hidden under the dust in unexpected places. "I made this wheel base as short as I could," Michael explained, "but it's hard to keep the body off the ground. We've got to choose our terrain care- fully, leaving the road when neces- sary tb make the riding easy." It seemed to Camilla that they had bee -it, off the road ever since Zaagi had been driving, but she cheerfully accepted Michael's explanation. "Are you sure' .this guy knows where he's going?" Slim asked, eye- ih'gthe country dubiously. They seemed now to .be in the•very heart of the desert, for the herds of camels and asses that they had no- ticed nearer Dafnascus were no long- er to be seen; nor were there any 'signs of caravans or groups of horse- men as' before. Just the undulating of the horizon, with here and there the serrated edges of rock piercing the distant sky. When the speed of the bus was re- duced, as now seemed necessary most of the time, the heat was intense and the tourists were all perspiring free- ly. "You ain't seen nothing yet," Slim said as Josi'a complained, "How hot is Bagdad?" "A hundred and fifteen when it's cool -and a hundred and forty when it decides to get warm-" They, were all garde except Kitty, who had subsided inher seat, her face mottled and her eyes bulging, gasping feebly from time to time that she wanted to return to Damas- cus. Michael, exhibiting e, map, said he hoped to reach PUalmyra in the afternoon, but if they didn't make better time it might be later. He ex- plained that it didn't matter where they stopped for the night as they were taking their hotel with them, and there was plenty of water and provisions for everybody. "It's quite exciting," Josie said. "The grandest picnic I ever went on," sighed Janet happily. It was increasingly exciting as the great bus seemed to be thavt'ng difficulties of its own, lurching and tilting unpleasantly like a ship `in an angry sea. There was, so far as they could see, no sign' now of road or trail, and they were 1paseing over virgin soil that had not even been trodden by the hoofs of camels. "Say," said Slim, who bad followed Michael forward to the chauffeur's bench, "this gink doesn't know where he's going. Look what we're coming to-" They bad reached the top of a pre- cipitous slope covered, with angry - looking basalt rocks which seemed to end in a Chaos of minor' precipiebs. ,"Put" your `brakes on;. -man!" Slini roared. . Zaagi obliged g»ui1ging1y, giving Slim a sickly smile that itiMsLigtM su, !reeler.

There are Many chopped, relishes and sauces which are com- paratively easy to prepare but pickles where the .vegetables arelett whole or in large pieces require more care and patience. To make good crisp pickles the pro- portions are important but there are other details worth watching. The best way to be sure of good pickles is to find out what has caused fail- ures -your own and par neighbours' -and learn how to avoid them. Pickles may be hollow, ,wrinkled, too soft, too hard, or too tough. They may be of poor colour, either cloudy or dull instead of bright, cleargreen or white. Any one of these faults may eompletely,spoil the pickle. Hollowness in pickles is caused by allowing too long a time to elapse between picking and pickling. Wrinkled pickles .are common. In. pickling the natural juice is drawn out and replaced by a. pickle mixture. This change should be .made gradual- ly. Too strong brirle or too sweet syrrup will _make wrinkled gherkins. A strong brine., for two days will not have the same result as a weaker brine for nine days. Strong vinegar, weak brine, or ov- er -heating will cause pickles to be soft or flabby. Pickles should be merely heated through -never really cooked. • Ripe cucumbers, pearl onions, or cauliflower often lose color on ac- count of inferior vinegar. Good grade cider vinegar is of clear, pale amber colour and excellent flavour. A white cider vinegar is obtainable if preferred. Water containing too much mineral, particularly iron, will dafken pickles. If 1/2 cup vinegar is added 'to 1 gal- lon of brine made with very hard water, the difficulty will be overcome. One-half cup medium coarse salt to one quart'water is the standardbrine. Boiling water is used to dissolve the salt but brine must be always cooled before adding vegetables. White sediment sometimes forms in pickled beets from the combination of hard water, vinegar, and salt. If very hard water is boiled thoroughly and allowed to cool before using for pickle mixture there should be no sediment. Care -even to fussiness -is neces- sary in, making crisp, tender, clear, pickles, but the result is worth the effort. hr making certain sauces and relish- es none of these difficulties arise but to have perfect results , any recipe should be followed exactly. --The following recipes are suggest- ed by the Consumer Section, Market- ing Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture: Horseradish Pickles 4 cups shredded cabbage 2 cups chopped celery 1/2 cup chopped onion 2 cups chopped cucumber 2 cups cider vinegar 2 cups sugar 2 tablespoons grated horseradish 2 'teaspoons mixed pickle spice.

First THE HURON EXPOSITOR Seaforth : Ontario C[heSP4APSOT G IID PICTURING CHILDREN Story -telling pictures of children are easy to make. They're not only more lifelike, but far more appealing. AFRIEND of mine, who is an ar- dent amateur photographer, re-. gently showed me quite a collec- tion of pictures he had snapped of , his children over a period of years. One thing I noticed in particular - there were very few etifIly posed "record" shots. He had endeavored to make each picture tell a story of some kind, to depict some activity in the lives of his children -the story -telling type of snapshot. The typical "record" shot has its place in any album or collection of snapshots, but they should be con- sidered the exception and not the .rule. It is true that in 'this kind of picture taking you get a good like- ness of the child as far as facial expression is concerned, but you don't have a real story -telling pic= ture of this active little youngster. It just isn't natural for a healthy, sprightly child to standaround do- ing nothing. Play makes pictures. I don't mean that the child should be scurrying around or engaged in some fast- moving activity. Have your child "repairing" his tricycle, reading a book, playing with dolls, sailing a boat in a wash tub, and with. -his pet --always an appealing, natural shot Then you'll -have a better and a more interesting albun i, This appealing picture of the lit» tie glr1'baltting a nib Was taken with the ad of jiliotb tights', reptate'itlg the '1+4'3tilar bulbs ill hate ,. latipt ,' iati'd raided by Wadi etrrdimard iretiet tiVe.' 1CCi 91'gpllathe wits heed' lit the ett lie a acid a'Uatiehot'egoi+oti, sure was given. This is but one of a series showing the child from the time she started making her pielun- til she took it out of the oven. An interesting series of pictures like this should be ,kherished by any iia°rent. ' The arrival of summer offers in- numerable picture opportunities for. outdoor snapshots of children. WIth your camera always ready for ac- tion you can capture many of their interesting'' activities. Oftentimes, a tempting idea -playing jacks, skip- ping rope,, shooting marbles -will be all that is needed to get things going. Of course, the focus, expo- sure setting, and camera position should be determined in advance. A handy exposure guide will be a valuable aid in getting well exposed pictures. "Posing action" is a trick you can often use in picturing children. Sup- " pose, for example, you want a }n1c=• ture of your sou riding his tricycle, but your camera will not take fast moving objects.
