out till the gorge rang with his wail- ings. But there was little opportunity

to console him, for the children of the desert, having levied their tax and been balked in their revenge, had dis- appeared like water in sand, and the caravan was ordered to proceed. So the great snake stretched out its cum- brous length once more, making what haste it could to quit such ugly quar- ters. Ranee clung to me like a scared child, murmuring how good I was, and wondering, with many ejaculations that \ strange to me, if we yet safe.

it was owing to my face, or it may have been from some derect in my accent. But one scurvy priest, who was the most active of the inquisi- tors, made a point at the beginning of doubting all I said,

It required constant watchfulness, however, to preserve me from lansing into Christian barbarities and heath- eRisms, Even Tabal had to be kept out of my inner secrets, and as to Ranee, though I doubted not her de- Sire to be secret, I had a careful re- membrance of the natural weakness of a Wornan’s tongue.

Once satisfied with our credentials

the pilgrims made us as one of them- When we spoke of their kind- ness to strangers, they made ever the one answer :

“Think ye it is the will cf God that any true believer should be left to per- ish on the way to the holy city ? At the gathering of the nations, when the shall render their account of men’s deeds, both good and bad, what would be our recompense if Wwe were guilty of such a thing ?”’ And some- how it seemed to me the spirit was one that Christians, who boast of their charity. might occasionaily imitate with advantage. :

We travelled fast, and made our des- tination without loss by sickness or violence. No Bedouin molested us, be- cause we were 2,000 strong and our Way lay through the open, where the children ef the desert seldom attack. We went by arid strips and fertile pasture lands, among flocks and herds and herdsmen that are to-day as they were in the days of the patriarchs, and appear not to miss the blessings of civ- lization. We paid extortionate tolls to legalized robbers for allowing us to pass where all the world was free, and we halted for refection and pray-

selves.

Weak and Run Down, With Heart and Kidneys in Bad Condition — Restored by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

“I was very much run down, having been sick for several months. I had been trying different remedies which did me no good. I would have severe spells of coughing that would leave me prostrate. I was told that my lungs were affected, and my heart and kidneys were in a bad condition. In fact, it seemed as though every organ was out of order. I felt that something must be done and my brother advised me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I procured a bottle and began taking it. Before it was half gonelI felt that it was helping me. I continued its use and it has made me a new woman. I cannot praise it too highly.” Mrs. SuMMER- VILLE, 217 Ossington Avenue, Toronto, Ontario. Get only Hood’s, because
