The old camel caravan takes 22 days. ;..At the beginning of the month of August two pairs of heavy, ooots tramped eastward across the sand of Iraquian desert, toward the fabled city of Baghdad. The temperature temp-erature was about 123 degrees ibove zero, (not so bad yet) . not exactly the best . time to travel Mesopotamian desert on foot. The two "lucky owners of the boots (taken from certain point of view) were my friend Jerry and I.

From the 'many "sahibs" who came to this town on the Tigris river certainly very few appeared'the waywe did. It was only our high boots, pants and tropical helmets by which we could be distinguished ' from the desert Bedouins. "Where were we going to sleep?" I thought as we walked across the wooden bridge. It was about 4 p. m. we had not much time to find a place before the darkness Jell on this city. In the meantime t occurred to me that we had (Continued from Page One) ing in my Dea on my DacK, my arm3 under my head, looking toward to-ward the dark skies, where myriads of stars glitered.

Part of my dreams came true,-! was in the fabled city of Baghdad, the city of the "Thousand and one Night" tales, the town where clever All Baba and his forty thieves, once upon a time lived. All Baba In Person - I woke up in the morning. There was a bright sunlight 1 already. Tne Mohammedan mosque, in the night changed to a beautiful mysterious castle, stood there again. The diamonds, dia-monds, rubies and emeralds ' dis appeared with the moonlight. I was back in the real life again.

The same, andjjvs only clean shirt was missinf"from my friend's bag The thief apparently picked up only what hecould use or to-sell. Further examination of my friend's bag showed his toothbrush was also missing.

Our Arab friend, who brought us in, told us how milch we have to pay for a meal and left with German "Auf Wieder3ehn,' hopinf to meet us again tomorrow. And "Don't pay anything more" wert his last words. I didn't che w m food, consisting of -a dish of dirty rice and smelly hashed mutton WltbTmy eyes closed I was merely swallowing it. We paid the amount and walked out. Everything was all right. , The next evening we wentvto the same place again, ate. the same meal and laid on . the table the same amount of money. " The cross-eyed Arab loked at the coins on the table and in an excited voice started .to say . something i Jiat we didn't understand, of course. He was pointing to the money , on the' Cable and again to our pockets, at the same time mov ing' his fingers showing that he wanted some more money. In our "Aribic" we tried to ex plain that we" pay the same' money for the same, meal, a3 we paid yesterday. yes-terday. . Of course we didn't mean to pay him a pent more, and we did not mean maybe; Ignoring his excited voice, we simply walked toward the open door. He jumped like a wild cat, and spread his arms across the door, trying to prevent us from walking out. . When this ."game" seemed to last, too longjdready, we lifted him from the door and put him aside. In the" same time, from somewhere in the darkness jumped out another Arab, whom we- had not noticed before. " ' Arabs Attack Travellers- Having no chance to turn my body" toward him,,he jumped on my back. The very same moment my mend, whom-the cross-eyed Arab was trying to pull away from his Arab, friend, 'squeezed his neck. It was a great fight for 10 cents. Our fists were swinging through the darkness of the room, beating head or no head. We were trying to keep Arabs away from us, for we knew that a blow by the knife to the back is the usual way that an Arab pays, his debts of this kind. During the fight an oil lamp cn the wall fell down, and the room was poveredJjy darkness, only a dull light falling in : through the open door on the edge of the room. We were standing with our backs . toward to-ward the. open door, our bodies plainly visible to our enemies, but we were vinly1trying to see something some-thing in the blackness of the room. At the same -time both of them jumped on us. If they had had knives! Several minutes of fighting beating In the darkness, what we both supposed were our enemies, and we had thrown . them Upon the broken tables and chairs. The fight was over, the hardest fight I-ever had- and for ten cents?

There was no time for thinking or brooding. brood-ing. It was a -rather doubtful game to get through" the angry crowd. But there was no other chance.
