CHAPTER II It wa* there that a party of tribemen found her. A tenant pushed up to the bridle rain of the chief and pointed silently to the girt Two men dismounted "By Allah, she is living. What shall we do'” "Leave her She Is not of our people." urged a sullen tribesman. “We have suffered 'enough from the foreigner," "Mercy is from Allah.” returned the headman “It te not permitted to leave even an infidel without help." He tditned to his servants. One’of them picked up the girl and hoisted her across the saddle of his fellow. The cavalcade resumed Its way. The Jolting eventually aroused Rosemary She opened her eyes painfully, blinked at the dark face above her—another dream, of course—would the night never end? She felt a man’s arms around her. thought of De Vries, and moved Impatiently. A voice touttet red something she did not understand. There was an unpleasant taste tn her mouth. One cheek was stiff and when she touched it she felt something warm and damp In her hair. With a great effort she clutched at memory, she seemed to be dragging it back to her. tangibly and In pieces. “Who are you. what are you doing?” she asked In French, and realised that the aroma which revolted her nostrlls came from the sweat-stained garments of the Arab, who held her crushed between the pommel and his chest. The headman hacked his horse alongside. “Marimba, greetings.- he said “You are quite safe. We found you hurt, and we are takipg you to a farm where there are women.” Rosemary did not understand. She was bewildered and exhausted, but not frightened. The tribesmen repeated simultaneously the word “safe." and pointed cheerfully ahead, nodding and gesticulating with the amiability they would have displayed toward a child or an Idiot. Os course, all foreign sonx-o were mad. they knew, or why should one young and suited to be nudh-r of many children be lying unconscious on a hillside? A couple of horses were running loose. The headman caught the bridle of one. offering it to Rosemary. She was lifted into ‘the saddle like a bundle of merchandise, and there she clung, unable to argue, scarcely carpi; providing that soon thia intol-. arable Jolting would erase and she could rest her head, which felt like a thing Impaled on metal The tribesmen dismounted for the noon prayer*. Thb horses were turned loose to graze. A servant made coffee, blow Inga few twigg cunningly into a blaze There was much argument.

Insisted the young men. ■ but their elders demurred “She will die here alone on the mountain and her death will he a cu'rae to us. It la not wise to burden our future with misfortune.When the sun was slanting downward. they rotised the girl, forced her to drink coffee, explained the situation u her tn the Arabic she couldn’t understand, showed her how to wa -h and bandage her head, and mounted her on their quietest horse. Rosemary, still dazed but intelligent enough to realise that she was tn unknown country, among men who apparently meant her no harm, but who would not brook argument, rode numbly between two Arabs. At first she tried to explain her plight, nrged them to send her back, offered rewwrdx stringing French and Arabic Into the plainest possible sentences, but even the magic word “money” bad no effect. The tribesmen shook their heads, punting always forward, as if the decision did not rest with them. In starlight the weary horses plodded up a goal track strewn with bowlders. Th* VM»tb disappeared altogether amidst a tangle of bush and rock hung over them. In Us shelter the men dismounted and in t»-n minutes, after a hasty meat of fried mutton and a flowery paste, fragments of which ttnaamary managed to force town her throat, they were rolled ap » their blankets, asleep.

The, chief rode ahead slipping through Impossible places twisting eel-like between boulders Rocks towered upon either side. The sky was blotted out. They were g© tog through a four-foot passage Into the mountains that France though* Impenetrable. - A throb of excitement shook Rosemary. There was a pas> after all. What would not such new, mean to France! The rest of that night and the std lowing days were ■nightmare, durins which she clutched the high pommel In front of her with the desperation born of her weakness. She must not fail She must stick on somehow. At last they came to a plateau overlooking a gully. There were caves along one side and a goat herder yas seated under a bu<h, philosophically watching his flocks. The horses stopped of their own volition and there was a general sigh of lion. A big fire was lit. a goat bargained for, shrilly and at length While the servants skinned and cooked it. the youthful herder brough Rosemary a gourd full of'milk. A tribes.uan signaled the girl to enter cm of the caves. It was deep and clean. A bed of branches coverswith a saddle rug apjieared soft as feathers after the Interminable ride Hardly waiting to eat the savor? goat’s flesh, which a servant brought her. Rosemary rolled herself Into a corner, too exhausted In mind and body even to speculate on the future For ten hours she slept dreamless ly Then the sun woke her. It was a shaft of gniy on the floor and. blinking at it. the girl saw some one had pia<-»‘d a Rather bucket of water and a rough piece of linen beside her. She was enough recovered to smile, a little grimly, at the suggestion it Implied. She washed fme and hands aS well as she coulft. combed her hair, and youth trickled back Into her veins “What an adventure?" she thought ■‘How ridi&ilous that it should hap pen to me!" She began to wonder about the parpen* of the tribeemeu, ransom, perhaps and a little fear drifted In amid-t the chaos of excitement. speculation and resentment. She was struck, suddenly, with the full realisation of the situation and her helplessness It was so sudden that her heart began thudding and sh« stood, breathing quickly, staring blindly at the race mouth, while a quick crescendo of voice* rose outside. Automatically, her mind registered a new ratience among the voices. She went out. bare headed, and looked across the narrow platform to where a group of swarthy mountaineers, travel stained and dirty, were unsaddling their horses. They w.-re darker skinned than tbr men of Verga and they stared at her with bold, appraising eyes. She turned uncomfortably, heard an amnzed “Hood Lord !* and found herself face to face with an Englishman. Speechlessly, they scrutinised each other. Rosemary saw an ordinary looking figure In stained khaki, and a pleasant, weather-beaten face, very dirty, with an expression of blank bewilderment In the light. bhXMlshot eyes. The man had an Impression of something slight and pale and feminine. with a raw war running across the forehead “What the devil are you doing here?” burst from him in hls surprise and It was such a wild relief to het to bear English that the girl caught hls arm with a heartfelt “Thank God!" A babble of Arab voices broke In on them. Rosemary felt the muscles under her fingers stiffen 'Tm so sorry.* she said, retreating. “Yon were such a surprise. Fallen from heaven sort of thing. I don't know why they brought me here," sh« ended, lamely TO Bt CONTINV«r> > Oldtime Beds Rigidly Excluded Fresh A afttdy yf the evolution of the bet frotn the time of the Norman eon quest of El-gland to the present proves Interesting.

Jack Rabbits Do Damage to Cropt Are Particularly Harmful to i Winter Wheat, Alfalfa, Soy Beans, Etc. (Prepared by the United State* Depart- I ment of Acrtcalture.) Jack rabbits cause damage to tor- I age and crops that amounts to sev- < eral million dollars annually In some states. Control by means of the bounty system has not been very successful. although the exi»ense has been great, in some counties in Kansas, for example, bounties on Jack rabbits totaled front $4,000 to SB,OOO in 1926. Hunting the rabbits tor meat and skins has its limitations. In , many situations poisoning is the only practicable method of control, and now that the skins have a fair commercial value the poison ntethed need no longer be considered wasteful. . Wheat Hurt Most. The most noticeable damage by , Jack rabbits ts that done to wheat, since the rabbits often graze the winter wheat down to the roots, even pawing the earth, away and biting at the crowns of the plants, as well as cutting the stalks after stem forma- P 1 tion begins. They are also constant feeders on growing alfalfa, although their grazing is seldom localized enough to be apparent. Such siweial crops as sugar beets, soy beans, melon | patches, and others are also attacked » and the losses are easily seen. Five to eight jack rabbits are said to eat as much as one sheep, or an equivalent in the cattle and horses that might have been supported by the forage destroyed. Regarded as Game Animal. Since the jack rabbit is regarded as a game animal, it is not desirable i to exterminate ft completely, as is the! f rase of the prairie dog. but adequate control is imimrtant. The rabbits themselves can be made to pay part ■ of the cost of control, if used as a meat supplement in feeding poultry and hogs, says the biolpguml survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. Each fall and early in winter the eastern markets absorb sev- ; eral carloads of rabbftb tor meat j • purposes. Recently there has arisen an active demand for Jack-rabbit skins tor use in manufacturing) felt. At 45 to 00 cents per pound tor dry > skins, the return is 10 to 13 cents per skin. Carcasses tor hog feed bring two or three cents each. The combined value of skin and carcass tea better return than bounties ot five cents per rabbit, and if utilized as a new source of income will keep the rabbits reasonably in cheek. Cows Require Grain Even When Pastures Are Good Pastures and other conditions are ideal tor dairy cows during May and June, but/even then it pays to feed some grain to the heavy-producing cows, according to C. S. Rhode, dairy extension specialist of the college of agriculture. University of Illinois. It will keep them from losing flesh as fast as they otherwise would and will leave a lasting effect throughout the •text lactation period. The grain ration that is fed may consist of two parts ground corn or barley and one part ground oats. A little cottonseed meal I will tend to overcome the laxative j condition which occurs when cows are first turned on succulent pasture. [ Cows that are producing more than a pound of butter a day should get a [H>und of this grain mixture for every tour pounds of milk produced daily, j Cows that are produ an a t pound of butter a day will get along nicely on abundant pasture alone. The i grass is palatable and succulent and supplies protein, minerals and vitamines.

A . grain mix- : ture of 306 pound* of corn or barley. 366 pounds of bran. 2W pounds of linseed oil meal and 150 pounds of cottonseed meal may be used during r-J< period. If stlase and legume hay are fed in addition to grain the® winter • grain mixture could be used.
