Evening brought a, gloomy ' irrldescence, a twilight ot pastel colon, a distant mountain range '' where blues of every shade gleamed on the slopes. Then the : sudden tropical night closed like - a shutter. ' They made camp In a small oasis tilled with the ghosts of for- gotten caravans; ate their frugal ' meal of unleavened bread and dry figs; stretched themselves out to ' sleep. And there echoed then the - night noises ot the desert like the : slow, Insistent pounding of a far surf, and, slashing through, fer vently, melodramatically, from all directions, the muffle i pulse ot the signal drums carrying the go " sip of Africa east, north, south, west. . Rub-rub-rub-nmbeddy-ru the sound waves spanned streams and forests and jungle. Rub-rub-rumbeddV-rub with staccato pauses, like exclamation marks. ' . One of the Bedawins coughed and Rashid stopped him with a - whispered: "Be quiet! I want to listen." "You know the drum talk?" asked Lincoln. "Yes, yes. Hush!" ' Rashid pressed his ear against the ground, every nerve ot his ' body quivering with excitement, once In a while giving a low ex clamation. ' For long minutes the drums talked; then stopped and Rashid ' rose and turned to Lincoln. "Is your name Terek el-Med--' Jahiri?" he demanded. The American was surprised. "Yes," he replied. "How do you ' know?" ,., , "From something the drums " said." He paused. "Listen " he went on nervously "you are a dervish, a man ot God, and we . honor you. But we are men of peace. We cannot travel with you." "But . .." "Go away, quickly, quickly! We : shall give you a bag of provisions, - water, tobacco, money, one of our rifles.- You can keep the cameL .-Only go! And may the All-Merciful protect you!" "What has happened?" "Murder." "Who has been . . .T" : "SicS Elliot, the governor." : "Oh . . .?" "And it is you whom the fer- inghees are accusing of the deed." .' Lincoln did not believe his ears. ' "1," he demanded, "accused of ? "Indeed," said the Bedawin. and . . he explained what the drums had v told him. v- VESTERDAY, in a Mounetvffle coffee-shop, a man, drunk with hashish, had been arrested for dis orderly conduct He had threat ened the police with bloody re venge, boasting that he, Mahmoud Kassem and Lincoln recalled who the latter was: the middle iged Riffian who had seen Ali el Andalosi home that nightwas a dangerous citizen, not to be trifled with, since he belonged to the dis banded Lodge of the Bi Hassan yieh "laah!" Mahmoud had cried, exultingly, "disbanded no longer, but soon, soon, to draw its dagger against all foreigners!" Plied by the detectives with more hashish, to loosen his tongue, be had bragged that he knew why the governor had disappeared. Had disappeared by the Prophet! into the cold clods of the grave. A woman had been responsible. A woman the Riffian had added, with the drug in him weaving a twisted loom of truth and false hood, of fact and Imagining who had once been the governor's mis tress and had sent one ot the Bi Hassanyieh dervishes to make her honor white. Under skilled questioning, Mah tnoud had described the assassin. He had even given the man's name: Terek el-Medjahiri. - How had the latter succeeded In luring the governor away from the palace? Where had he killed him and where hidden the body? ' In answer, the Riffian had de clared that be neither knew nor cared. The tidl was dead glory be to Allah! and what else mattered? Thus more glory to Allah! many other foreigners were des tined to die .... FUNNY BUSINESS ift 'ifMatkffltT.

When he had regained con sciousness and, by the same token, his senses, he had refused to speak another word, although threatened with death; had tried to take back his confession, blaming it on his doped brain. Yet the fact remained that the governor had vanished. Therefore the police were searching the town and its vicinity. "Hush!" Rashid said again. Once more he pressed his ear against the around as the drums GOD BLESS AMERICA IN FILET CROCHET r - '--Si ' 'mass, Aw 7476 by Alice Brook God Bless .America Is on everybody's lips, in everybody's heart.

Keep away from oases and villages and caravan trails!" The hollow sounds walled ab ruptly Into silence.
