The luncheon mat and nap-kin shown here oiler a suggestion for a way to use your cut-o- ut de-signs for simple but effective applique work. The long sides of the mats are hemmed and the ends faced with one-inc- h bands of green, as nt A. The napkins are also hemmed on two sides and faced with green bands on the other two. The stein for the bright red cherry follows a circular line embroidered in green outline stitch. The leaf is of the green material. Experiment with cutting the cherry and leaf in paper. When you have cut a design that pleases you, make a pattern in lightweight cardboard. Cut the fabric a little larger than the pattern, clip the edge as at B; then press it over the pattern with a warm iron as at C to make a firm crease.

Ev-- ff " BY TALBOT MUNDY . tauotmundy-w- nu servo tain Norwood's whiskey for that buz-zard." "He doesn't look like a buzzard. He locks fat and good natured." Moses Lafayette O'Leary took a private swig from the bottle inside Norwood's tent, and then put it away in the chop-bo- With his hands in his trouser pockets for the sake of dignity, he strode toward the tree beneath which Noor Mahlam sat wondering how to broach the sub-Je-of his meditations. He did not appear to be wondering. His black turban only partly concealed a phi-losopher's forehead. His silver-brimme- d spectacles enhanced the mellow mildness of intelligent dark brown eyes. His nose was fleshy and good humored. His black beard and moustache were well cared for. They concealed something. His mouth was not in evidence. He arose to greet Moses O'Leary and, Judg-ing by the movement of his beard, he smiled, but the smile was invisi-ble. At close quarters it was evi-dent that his bulk was mostly fat, not muscle. He fitted flabbily into a bazaar-mad- e black alpaca Euro-pean suit. "How d'you do, Noor Mahlam." "How do vou do. sir." He looks greasy enough from the heat, but you haven't looked at him, so you didn't mean that." "All right, I'll educate you. After that, you scram and learn English. I'm keeping him waiting o' pur-pose." "On account of your dignity?" "No. My dignity is like that bot-tle nose o' yours: it's been punched a time or two, but there it is. It's inseparable and I'll be buried with it. I'm keeping him waiting on ac-count o his indignity that needs a bit o' taking notice of, so it won't be no secret from him. His name is Noor Mahlam. No, not baa-lam- Mahlam. He's the oil-ca- n that goes around dripping the lies into the lo-cal works to make 'em grind good, and smell rotten and sound scandal-ous." "Reporter for the local paper?" asked Stoddart. "No. He's from the underworld district." Stoddart grinned. "Seeing he's a friend of yours, I might have guessed that." "You've drunk your drink, so scram." "I'd like another drink." " 'Twouldn't be good for you, and you know it.

He wiped the sweat off his face with a hand-kerchief, then removed his specta-cles and wiped them too, before he answered: "I want nothing, Mr. O'Leary." "You're a lucky bloke!" "I came to enquire if I can be useful. If I could have the ear of your officer" "I'm it. I'm both ears. I'm his teacher, his keeper, his nurse, his confidential secret'ry, his father con-fessor and information man." "Sir, if you are truly in Captain Norwood's confidence" "Try me. Him and me are like the two sides of a rupee. And it's a two-heade- d rupee. He'd believe me even if I was to tell him you're honest." "I could reciprocate, Mr. O'Leary. There are many people to whom it is highly important to know why Captain Norwood is in Kadur." "Have you heard about the sur-vey of the Kadur River?" "Yes, Mr. O'Leary, but nobody believes that." "Well, it's the fact. We're here to run a survey of the Kadur River." "Ah! But of what else than the river? I am commissioned to offer rupees fifty for correct informa-tion." "And me a poor man! If I weren't a good Christian and afraid to take the name of the Lord in vain, I'd be critical o' your conscience. D'you think it's decent to insult my pov-erty with an otTer o' fifty rupees?" "Sir, I might make it a hundred." "You'll have" to make it twice that before I'll hesitate. Besides, I don't think I need you." "Mr. O'Leary, I think you under-estimate my value. There is noth-ing that I don't know about the politics of Kadur. I am the trusted informant of people in very high places." "High?" said O'Leary. "In the magistrates' courts they call 'em low places. You can go look for an-other customer. Captain Norwood's decent." "Ah, but how about you?" "I know how to take care o" my-self. What d'you take me for? A tourist? "Sahib, I can tell you actual, au-thentic facts about the palace." The word "sahib" was a mistake. It stiffened O'Leary's feeling of su-periority. It spurred him to con-temptuous offensive tactics: "I don't believe you. What's new at the palace?" (TO BE COyTlSUED) Moses O'Leary straightened him-self slightly and drew his right hand from his pocket. He had to live up to being addressed as "sir" by a man of means from the underworld district. But it stirred his alert-ness. His suspicion, and more than that, was already wide awake. His voice hardened a trifle: "Sit down, Noor Mahlam. Hot, isn't it No, I'll stay on my feet. I've business to attend to. Can't spare you more than a minute or two." "How did you know my name, sir" asked Noor Mahlam in silky accents that suggested there was something else than silk beneath. It was a quiet agreeable voice, un-less one listened to it too attentively. Moses O'Leary smiled with the pride of the expert who needs no praise to justify his self-estee- "It's my job to know things. Check me. You were a lawyer. You served a term in prison in Cawnpore for cheating a client. You were dis-barred. And now you're cheating everybody. Am I right" "Sir, I'm a public relations coun-selor. It is a new profession, in India." "It's a new name for an old game," said O'Leary. "But you've come to the right place. I'm the publicity man o' this surveying par-ty.

The vacation had begun a week or so before, but she had spent the first part of it in the country near-by, resting; after 22 weeks of work, with only five free days in that time, she needed a rest!

The coins, struck in the two cen-turies preceding and following the start of the Christian era, are of silver, gold and copper. They are of two classifications those struck by the Jews themselves and those minted by their various Roman gov-ernors. Because Jewish law forbids the use of graven images, there are few portrait heads in the collection. The most common decorative motifs are sacred objects the jug, the palm branch, the citron, the holy taber-nacle, trumpet, the Menorah and the palm tree, the last a symbol of plenty in Palestine. There is little of artistic merit in the collection. Apparently the Mac-cabean coins were strictly utilitari-an, for the Jews who coined them wasted little time displayed at the Jewish Theological beautiful Many of them have been struck over old Roman coins, and jn their haste the Jewish craftsmen failed to oblit-- 1 erate the Roman inscriptions. The speed with which these coins were made is demonstrated, in some instances, by imperfect im-print. Some of these imprintings cover only half the face of the old Roman coins. Coins of the revolu-tionary period bear the Hebrew in-scription, "To the freedom of Jeru-salem," and the date, 1, 2, 3, or 4, corresponding to the year of the revolt. In the second group of coins those struck by the Roman gover-nors much of historical value is re-vealed. Many of them bear profile portraits of Vespasian, Domitian or Titus, in whose reigns they were struck off. ' Many of the coins issued by the Roman procurators of Palestine show a Jewish influence. These coins do not bear the Roman ini-tials "S. C," since they were struck without the authority of the senate and merely at the emperor's com-mand. This was possible, since Palestine remained an imperial province. Some of the coins were embel-lished with reproductions of inani-mate creatures instead of the reign-ing Caesar. |
