SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1938. ahd. OPS: tg ee Tato ald ys finds heen Beak Zen Me Margaret sos tt a are agents for lor the ‘ket, p>} leave. Margaret is suddenly he turns ng "wapgestt that she haa tried to attract Rai ul, r] oniaptet 30 * JULES’ AGREEMENT ‘her need and Wire extremity her husband helped het. “Bo we'll cry quits,” he said, “and understand each other. Any time thet I'm~ah—‘defeated, shall we say, ‘o’ertook, ‘under the influence’ —I have been dragged. Any time that Raisul makes himeelf, shall we say, ‘a nuisance’it’s a harmless flirtation and no harm done. As you say, we're absolutely in his power. And what's got to be done may as well be done cheerfully and with agood-grace.” Margaret’s blood boiled, and her fighting spirit taised its head. Not for nothing had she grown up with Otho Helléme, shared all his} games and ‘sports and pastimes, fot- lowed him, fought with him, toved him and imbibed his ideas, adopted his beliefs, accepted his standards. “I Say and 1 Do” was Otho’s motto. She faised her head from het hands, looked at her husband fa wonder and rose to her feet, “I'm going home,” she’ sald quiet- She had said ft, and she Would @o it. “Some day, perhaps,” assented het husband. “When Raisui agrees —and provides the camels, mules, water, provisions, fodder, camel- men, muleteers and escort. “Meanwhile,” he continued, “sup- pose—just for a bit of fun, suppose you don’t offend and antagonize and infuriate our, best friend and worst possible enemy. No more + Idlotié school-girl heroles. What are you étaring at?” For Margaret was regarding this man, her husband, with @ cool, im- personal but searching scrutiny. What was it—this thing? An ee} that slipped through your hand as you grasped {t, leaving nothing be- hind but o slimy emptiness? A quicksand, a morass which, looking like firm ground, gave way beneath your feet, leaving you *oundering— nay, foundering—in mortal danget? A haystack of feathers or soft wool, at which you struck fn vain; a thing int self to death a8 one Who beats the air anti exhausted? ” “No, Itan’t. My business...” “Pm gofng home. If you take me, With ‘htm she teld such conversa- tion and communication <s was pol- fti. and necessary, the while there / hardened in her heart the deteriai- nation never again to see his changed, deteriorated, loathsome face, once she had escaped from this terrible place and country. For neither would he take her away nor so. niuch as suggest nor discuss a date or time when they should depart; nefther fn any way help her to go Away by herself nor adinit the possioMity Ot het doing so, Nor would her father-in-law, to whom ehe appealed. In fact, the Senor Pedro Maligni was—or affected to bea Tittle shocked ‘and mote than & Witte die- ppointed in her when she spoke of leaving Mekazzen. He evidently held the excellent view that a wife’s place is ‘y her husband’s sie, though, fh his own ‘tase, precept had beeh Superior to practice. When Margatet so far forgot tact and good manners a6 to allade to the fact that the ‘senor’s wife was but tarely at his side, te enlarged the precept by the addition of the words, “Unless she ean better serve his Interests elsewhere.” And since Margaret was incapable of serving her husband’s interests anywhere, she might, at least, be content, if not thankful, that she could comfort, golace and delight him. Indeed her tatherdndaw's attitude was scatcely distinguishable from that of her husband, and such annoy- ‘ance as he felt appeared to be caused rather by her owa conduct than by that of Raisul. Definitely fearing, by now, tlre Kaid and the Lady Zainub only less than she fearea Raisul himself, defi- nitely distrusting her husband and her father-in-law, as well as the gir) Sara who treated ser with a faintly ‘contemptuous and thinly veiled hos. tility, Margaret’s one hope was ih frer hasband’s mother, the Lady £1 isa. Beth el Ai, and that only be causé she felt that she, Margaret, was & pawh to be removed from the chess-board of Bl Isa Beth el Ain’s own gare. ‘AS Often ab ‘she could she visited #1 Isa Beth el Ain’s room and re mained there as long as possible. There she was safe, and there ehe could discuss possibilities and plans tor her escape. Sotretimes her hisband’s mother would be ‘keen ‘aitd interested and almost enthwsfastic; at other times, ‘apathétic, bored and uhkelpfal. Ot-eourse ft Gould bé done by a strong determined and plucky girl. She had made the journey from Tangier and she could make the journey back again, Hassan el Miskeen could guide her, and doubt- less she coula get Mahommed Ali el Amin to iend two or three good fighting-men as escort. He'd be quite willing to facilitate the departure of an outsider. He feared them and their innovating Ways, the infidel dogs, and hated to see them in the country, even Pedro ‘and Jules, friends and helpers as ‘they were. He didn’t trust them; ‘he trusted no Christians, And Abu Talib Zerhoun el Munshi, the scribe, the Kaid’s confidential secretary; Sara could get at him and he could do some very useful writings—and put the Kaid’s seal ‘on them—writings to be produced by Hassan el Miskeen when passing through the countries or towns of certain Governors, Kalds and Tribal Chieftains who would at once be ‘come helpfal. ‘Oh, yes, it was feasible enough— ensy'almost. Margaret cduld travel ‘either as a humble Moofish Woman, -{ her face stained with walnut oll, or Pear fa strength, he was a source of weak ness and danger. Indeed—though she shrank in even asa youth, the son of Hassan @l Miskeen. No, better as a girl, singe she could not speak Arabic and need only veil “er face in modest silence if addressed by a stranger. On other days she was the help- less, hopeless pess!mist and prophet of woe, What would Raisul do to her if he found out? What would he do to everybody who was con eerned in the eseape or whom te chose to suspect of being concerned init? Would age or sex or anything else save them from a dreadful @eath? And the Kaid and the Lady Zat- hub? What about them? What would happen to her, E) Isa Beth el Ain, if she were such & fool as to | put a real weapon Inte Sainubs hand? No, it was unthinkable; it couldn't | be done. But Margaret was determined that It should be done or at least attempted. She sat down and wrote & three-word note (Copyright, 1932, F. 4, Stokes Co.) | THE ARTMAN PRESS PRINTING PHONE 51 IN THE CITIZEN BLDG. jSSedSSeesedesSessdossoedsdseosecsecsecccs DOUBLEHEADER HERE TOMORROW 1 | The wsual doubleheader of base- j ball will be played in the Navy ) Field tomorrow afternoon when jthe Key West club, scheduled for the twinbill, will take on the Young Sluggers in the first game and try conclusions with the Pi- rates in the nightcap.

Ex-President Hoover’s proposi- tion, namely: that he give up his vacation and stick around to give jaid and comfort to the American people, seems to have occasioned no outburst of joy on the part of that same American people. Somehow, we have acquired the notion that when a side has been Yetired, mainly because their; pinch-hitter has struck out, that advice from the bird “who couldn’t see ’em where they were,” is not likely to be much good to the batter who steps up to the plate to begin a new in- nings. We all said “good-bye” to Presidént Hoover, nice and cere- Monious and with our best com- pany manners. We nieant that farewell to be as final as it was polite. Surely, even a statesman of thé old school ought to be able to understand that much. eos | One of the bright spots in the new administration (and it fairly sparkles with bright spots) is the proposition that labor will be drafted for public construction and consérvation work. Now, in- deed does it appear that a new administration is in power. Cera: It would be a good thing for. the country if we could have a jnew and legal definition of the word “graft” and punishment pro- vided. for the crime range from ten years to execution with some attention paid to mal- feasance and misfeasance on the} \ part of judge and jury. Not otherwise will we make the peo- ples living safe. “ee # One more suggestion and then we will resign as chief counsellor in favor of the democratic ma- jority. We have paid for the education of the competent and honest (when they have a chance) engineers of the army and navy. Give them. a chance to handle the construction of the future with volunteer or drafted labor. Con- ditions and results would be far! | superior to those we have been getting from “contractors” Who get the highest price possible for their work, and buy yours as cheaply as they can. Or sub-let their contracts at a peotit. ‘eee TODAY'S WEATHER Temperature Highest .... Lowest ...... Mean .... BA Normal Mean . Rainfall Yesterday’s Precipitation .0 Ins.

Lamm, con- tains this: “The depression i may erd in a blaze of glory, { provided we do not starve, commit suicide or cannibalism before that date arrives.” eve ee) "STRAND THEATER evoccver ‘Amn Hayding had known for sometime that her role in “The Animal Kingdom” was to be that} of “the other woman”—the wo- man who gave the wife cause for concern. But, until she read the} script prepared by Horace Jack-} son from the stage play by Ph ‘lip Barry, she had no idea how really noble she was to be. “I don’t think there is a finer| ‘other woman’ in modern _ litera- ture or modern drama!” Miss} Harding excitedly informed Ed- ward H. Griffith, who directed} “The Animal Kingdom.” “In fact, it would |take quite a wife to out- shine her in any domestic tri- angle.” The play departs from the tra- ditional formula, for it is the wedded wife who, to get her sel- fish way,.uses her voluptuous ap- peal on her husband, and who is, analyzed’ down to her soul, a gold digger with a most commonplace mind. The “other woman,” however, is a girl of fine spirit, lofty mind, exquisite perceptions and con- siderable talent. Unlike the wife, she is interested in the man’s hap-} piness rather than her own, lie Howard co-stars with Miss Harding in “The Animal! Kingdom,” and Myrna Loy plays the sensuous wife.
