THE GOOD SPORT A Story for Girls in Two Installments, BY ELSBETH ARNOLD INSTALLMENT I ELEN WINSLOW pressed hard on the plunger marked “Choc- olate,” and watched the thick rich sirup pour into the soda glass in her hand. Then she added a large scoop of ice cream, turned on the charged water, and stirred up the appetizing mixture with a spoon. She added a dash of whipped cream on top, poured out & glass of water, and served the order to a cus- tomer in the Corner Drug Store. Coming back to the fountain, she glanced at the clock on the farther wall. It was almost 6 o'clock, the hour at which she quit work. Every after- noon, from 3:30 until 6, Helen atiended to the soda fountain in the drug store, and she worked all day on Saturdays. In this way she earned several dollars a week, dollars that were very precious in the Winslow household. ~Helen’s father had died several years before, and her mother was hard pressed to support the family of four children. ‘Therefore, in her senior year at high school Helen had decided to work after school hours, and this drug store, only a few blogks from her home and close to the scheol, had offcred & tempting position. Helen was usually a very cheerful girl, but tonight as she put on her hat and coat and started for home the corners of her mouth dropped. Al- though she never complained, it had been a great sacrifice for her to give up every afternoon to the important business of earning money. In the first place, it had meant that she had to quit playing basket ball, for the team practiced ‘in the afternoons. This had been. a blow to the school as well as to Helen, for she had been a star player the year before. Now Thyra Franklin had her place on the team, while Helen watched the games from the sidelines. But basket ball was not the cause of Helen's low spirits this evening. Her mother noticed her sad face as they ate dinner. “What's the matter, Helen?” she in- quired. “You don't look very happ; “T guess I'm just tired,” ‘said Helen. “No, it's more than that,” Mrs. Winslow insisted. “Come, tcll me.” “Well,” said Helen doubtfully, “it's HELEN MANAGED TO SMILE ympathetically. For a moment she in silence, then she continued, owd think that a girl like Thyra, with all the money she has, ld not be jealous of you, but I guess she is. If you didn’t have to.work, she wouldn't have got your place on the team. It's too bad, Helen.” Now Helen saw that her mother felt badly, and a smile at once lighted up the girl's face. “Oh, don't you worry, mother,” she said brightly. “I ‘really don't care a whole lot if I don't get the ofiice of resident. And if Thyra does get it, it will really be wonderful for the club to have Mr. Collins here.” ‘The subject was closed there, and the meal ended with no further mention of it, but, in spite of her cheerful words, Helen really did care a great deal about the electfon. The office of president of the dramatic club was the -highest honor that s girl in the high school could achieve, and it was always given to that girl who had done the best work years. But this year it appeared that Helen, although she deserved the place, would lose it to another girl who simply was lucky enough to have a rich and influential father. After the evening meal was finished Helen and her younger sister washed the dishes, and then, after she had changed to her best frock and combed her wavy hair, Helen set out for the school. She arrived there just before the meeting was called to order by Miss Callendar, the dramatic coach, who was to conduct the election, and she had little chance to speak to the other girls. Miss Callendar opened the meeting, and then the historian reviewed the work of the club. As she listened to the recital of the plays, the actors, and the comments of the newspapers on the performances, Helen could not help seeing that her name was far more prominent that that of any other gh‘l. Surely she should be the president! Then Miss Callendar announced the election. The ballots were to each one of the 22 girls in the club. ‘There were no nominetions for the office, but each member voted for the girl whom she thought most deserving i of the honor, and the one receiving the | most votes was elected. Helen tried vainly to conceal her on the school stage during her earlier |. ‘THE AS THE GIRLS APPLAUDED. about the dramatic club election, which is being held at school tonight.” “Oh! You're going, aren’t you?” in- quired her mother. “Yes, I'm going, but I'd rather stay at home.” “But why? You are usually so in- terested in anything connected with the dramatic club,” said Mrs. Winslow. Then she made a little gesture of despair, “My .greatest ambition' in high school,” she said solemnly, “has been to be elected president of the Girls’ Dramatic Club. I've played more lead- ing parts than any other girl, you know, and I was almost sure to be elected. But now, I'm almost certain that Thyra Frapklin will get it.” “Thyra Franklin? Why, she has played hardly any big parts.” “I know,” Helen continued, shaking her pretty black head disconsolately. “But she has it in for me. She has been awfully nasty about taking my place on the basket ball team. An during the past few weeks she has been trying to get all the votes she can for president of the club. Her father is friend of Willlam Hare Collins, great New York actor, and Thyra has let it be known that.if she becomes president she’ll get Mr. Collins to. come ‘Thyra up d | The auburn-haired girl had a here and give the club & talk at the next meeting. All the girls at school are thrilled by the idea, and I'm pretty sure they will elect her.” “That's' too. bad,” said her mother agitation as the girls filled out their ballots. She would not vote for her- self, and she judged that Grace Car- son had been next in prominence to her in the plays, so she wrote Grace's name on her slip. Miss Callendar re- ceived the papers, counted them over carefully, and then stepped to the blackboard in the classroom. There she wrote the result of the election: Thyra Franklin .. Helen Winslow .. Grace Carson Mary Crain .. Helen g‘reuud her finger nails into her hands and managed to smile as the girls applauded half-heartedly. It had happened just as she had feared! She was glad when the meeting ended a few minutes later, so that she could escape from the sympathetic glances of some of the girls, who realized that she had been shabbily treated. “As she made her way from the room, ran the victorious to her. look of triumph on her face. “Oh, I'm so sorry you weren't elected, Helen,” she said, with an in- sincere smjje. “But it’s really fortunate that I go the presidency, for now I'll have Wiffam Hare Collins, the great actor, ggve to speak to us. I know you'll g-.nt to meet him.” “Ye" said Helen bravely. “I'll be very glad to.” (To be concluded next Sunday.)

THEN I DISCOVERED THAT MOST OF MY CLOTHING WAS GONE. VEIL, SHEET AND SCARF WERE LOST IN THE HARBOR AND MY CURLY HAIR WA\ED ABOVE A HOT, PINK FAC! As the first white woman to visit the secret city of Kufara, the stronghold of the fanatical Sen- ussi in the Sahara Desert, Rosita Forbes, widely recognized as the most noted of women explorers, undertook once more to don her disguise as a Moslem woman and to reach the sacred city of Mecea as a pligrim. Her story of this adventure is one of the most en- grossing of the exploits that.she has been telling in this series on her highly seasoned days in Arabia, BY ROSITA FORBES. T one time it was the ambition of my life to see Mecca.. I had been living for some months in the African desert among the simplest and most fervent of Moslems. Nightly 'round the campfires, daily on the torrid marches, had heard these men speak of the House | Ih of Allah and the pligrimage they hoped seen bélrl’l wandering lclfl: the Sahara, barefooted, penniless, sicl but sustained during a three or four years’ trail by the dream of Mecea. I had seen old men grow youmg at the thought of it, and the swords of war- riors unsheathed with the cry: “Next year, Allah, I come!” Inspired by something of the same passion, I de- termined to attempt the pilgrimage. A‘t tii:t“t'me the pligrimage, 'fluc: varies s in our year, happene be in Awgust, which, of course, is the hottest month in the Red Sea. I start- at & moment’s notice and, owing the intense damp heat, was unable to find any paint that would stay on my skin.

An Englishwoman walked into the uflge in an embroidered French frock, - heeled shoes, and a hat that was only simple to the uninitiated masculine eye. An tian woman came out of it. In the shapeless black habbara and heelless slippers she seemed to have lost at least four inches of height, and the only things that could be seen above her strip of white “burwa” were the painted es of the East.

When Bahia and I finally forced our way into the bathroom, we found every one frantically scrubbing each other's backs in an effort to be friendl. and helpful. ‘Then there was muc! consultation as to how to put on the ram. ‘The men’s garments were of extreme simplicity, for they consisted simply of two sheets of rough bath towels, one ‘wound around like a kilt and the other slung across the shoulders. In the case of the fat and the portly, there was always a considerable hiatus which af- forded some amusernent to theip friends, but the sheeted men looked rather well, because their draperies were long and one end could be flung in graceful folds, toga-wise, over the shoulders. The women wore a straight white bia made of coarse thick calico, like a very cheap night-dress, Over a close-fitting white handkerchief that hid all the hair, they donned a flowing transparent scarf that could be ar- to hide as much of the face as one wished and, over all, a “meliya”— merely a large bed sheet. This last item was the difficulty, and it very soon got draggled. ‘The pllgrim crowd has sometimes been described as reminiscent of & Turkish bath.

Consequently, we spent four | feebly, wondering in how many differ- of the hottest hours of the August day crouched, cramped and dripping, in our intolerably stiff and sticky eclothes, on the least sharp-cornered e we could find. As a matter of fact, there was little choice, because we were 0 wedged in that nobody could possibly move without upsetting the perilous positions of half a dozen neighbors. o B PTER the first hour or two, women began to collapse from the heat, but there was nowhere to put them. I squeezed myself into a still smaller cor- ner to allow one sufferer to curl up with head on my knee, but my um- brella I would not give up. Umbrellas are permitted to women and forbidden to men, but many of the later use them to protect their bare or shaven heads. Just when I wondered whether I could endure much longer and whethér the woman in my lap was already dead, for her groans had suddenly ceased, & mountainous female who literally bulged over us from behind, chose.this oppor- funé moment to remark: “You are.not in the least like a Turk; I believe you are lish or French.” Luckily, everybody was so hot and | unalunt her comment aroused no in- rest. I think our felucca must have been somewhat more heavily laden than the rest, for we were the last to arrive and, therefore, all places were taken in the long barn-like structures that shelter the unfortuante pligrims for 24 hours. The island, Gezera, is pérhaps 200 yards square and, of course, there is no water on it. All water has to be brought from the mainland and stored in cisterns. It is doled out in ring th yas full. As a matter of fact, there is not much hardship for the ordinary pilgrim, as he is never desir- ous of privacy and probably finds.no fault with the lopng shed that he shares with 50 or 60 others, but it is ;:xx hard, indeed, for the better class . If arrives late, he may not even find a place in one of the rooms, and he will have to spread his mat on the shore, or sit on the jetty where he will have the shelter of a roof. Bahia and I found that there was no place left in the shade. Every room was crowded and every corner on beach and. wharf remote from the sun al- ready had its occupants, while a free fight’ was going on around the water cistern. However, luck favored us, and I finally discovered a rather dusty pas- sage between & room labeled “bureau” and a sort of guard-room. Here we spread our very nice carpet and on it deposited the one thing we had the physical energy to lift from the boat to the jetty, and carry all over the island in search of rest—a basket of food.

I kept my head sufficiently to say I thought I would rather meet all these friends after I returned from Mecca, having given up the pilgrim garb. “But you are the cleanest person I have seen,” said the doctor, surprised, and departed to glance hastily round the island, before ordering every one aboard the waiting feluccas. This time there was a faint breeze, which strengthened as we tacked in and out of the reefs near Jedda, so we man- aged to endure the four and & hall hours more or less happily, in spite of a violent dispute between Bahia and the boatman over a coin representing the value of about threepence. All those not completely incapacitated join- ed in on one side or the M't“hlel mark that he dould not conceive how a Moslem like Khadija hanem could employ a servant. This, however, was felt to be too great an insult, and the whole boat protested loudly till the boatman gabe way and, making s sudden perilous run along the edge of his craft, seized Bahia's d in both hands and im. ‘Therea: been living for the lasi creased considerably. * % k% ()l‘! by one the overcrowded feluccas stuck in the shallow water and, under & noontide sun we sweltered tiil flat-bottomed craft came out to rescue m—l—mnnlwly slowly.

This would not have mattered very much because it was only about three feet deep, but we got wedged down between the sides of two of the smaller craft, and, for a horrible moment, I thought I should be drowned in an ignominious scrimmage. Mercifully, someone caught my arm from above, and; with & jerk that near- 1y wrenched it from its socket, hauled me up into the felucca, where Bahia was screeching loudly without attempt- ing to do anything. g'or a moment I could not understand why, even in the turmoil of the moment, people were looking at me curiously.
