EL IRAQI

PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS BAGHDAD COLLEGE

BAGHDAD, IRAQ

NINETEEN HUNDRED FORTY -EIGHT Dedication

Written indelibly in the history of Baghdad College is the name of Father Madaras. In 1932, with the late Bishop Rice, he laid the foundations of our school, and for the past sixteen years has labored with extraordinary zeal to fulfill its purpose, An Iraqi

School For Iraqi Boys. A pioneer in every sense of the word, he emphasized the highest possible ideals for the development of youth,

and it is significant of his determination and character that those ideals today are a reality. His long years of service as teacher and administrator are well known to all Baghdad College men, but the endless hours of hidden toil for the spiritual, scholastic, and tem- poral welfare of the student body are known to God alone. With sentiments of profound respect and sincere admiration the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-eighl dedicates this issue of

El Iraqi to our present Rector and Leader,

Very Reverend Edward F. Madaras, S. J.

THE BOARDING SCHOOL

Our boarding section is now ten years old. Like all youngsters of ten, it clamors constantly for attention which, happily, the Fathers bestow on it with devoted labors from early morning until far into the night.

The boarding section is the boarding students' home. Indeed, two hundred and one boys have cherished it as their home since the September evening in 1938, when Father Shea, the first director, welcomed the first group of twenty-three boarders to the old Baghdad College building on the banks of the Tigris. In the fall of 1939, the boarders moved to the new residence which had been built to house both Fathers and boarders. The following year, Father Armitage succeeded Father Shea as director. Then, in 1941, Father Mahan was appointed to the position which he has since retained except for the year that Father McCarthy replaced him in order that he might enjoy a well-merited vacation.

Boarding applicants increased rapidly, the original group of twenty-three growing to a peak enrolment of seventy in 1944. Our boarding facilities, unfortunately, were never able to keep pace with the expanding enrolment with the result that many applicants could not be accepted. An attempt to solve the problem was made in 1942 when the boarders were divided into junior and senior sections with a nearby residence leased for the accommodation of the senior boarders under the successive managements of Father Sheehan, Father Sullivan, and Father MacNeil. The seniors profited from this arrangement by finding a freedom and fellowship which could not be enjoyed when they shared the residence of the younger boarders. The senior boarders rejoiced to exchange dormitory life for more commodious living in the semi-private rooms of their new dwelling. Despite the division into junior and senior sections and the lease of a new residence, the problem of providing place for all applicants was never solved; the boarding section still suffers from growing pains.

It is the boarding section which makes Baghdad College so thoroughly an Iraqi school for Iraqi boys. The day boys imprint an indelible Iraqi character on Baghdad College, but, in the very nature of things, they breathe into the school the spirit of Iraq as it belongs to Baghdad whence the day boys come. The boarding students of Baghdad College reflect the very soul of Iraq. Boarders gather from all corners of the land, from Mosul, Faish-Khabur and Basra, Muhawil and Kirkuk, from the desert reaches beyond Hai and Diwanaya to the rugged mountain slopes of Sulaimaniya and Halebja. Sons of sheikhs and doctors, of merchants and carpenters, they live together for five years the common life which is the lot of a boarding student. They contribute their regional virtues to the school, and with gain to their character they learn to suppress their differences in order to pursue their countless common interests and to live harmoniously as one family with understanding and esteem of their comrades. Joys and sorrows are shared alike. Companionship ripens into fast friendships that endure through life. They even find a more broadening influence in contacts with fellow-boarders who in the course of ten years have come to the boarding section from Egypt, Transjordan, Palestine, Syria, Kuweit, and Iran.

The boarder's life is set to an order that tends to develop the powers of his body, mind, and will. For the Christian boarder, the day begins with Mass, and for all there are regular periods of study

that are supervised by the Jesuit Fathers. During the times of recreation, all sports are supervised by

the Fathers, and ample playing-fields are available for getting invigorating exercise. There is always zest for spur-of-the-moment games from table-tennis to tawli. Boarders will never easily forget the Saturday night soirees with their wonderful varieties of parlor games and prizes for the winners. Great stress is placed on the use of leisure time. Fathers are always present to encourage the boarders to employ their leisure time profitably by taking an active interest in dramatics, debating, drawing, photography, music, sodality, scientific society, the school library. Certainly, one of the most satis-

fying thoughts for parents is the intimate concern of the Fathers for the welfare of their boys. /• I

JAMAL BUSHARA

As usual, the atmosphere of New York was gay and noisy. But high above the activity and bustle of the avenue, from the balcony of one of its many apartments, a woman was gazing down abstractedly.

Beside her was her young son and his twin sister: they, too, were staring down, vainly trying to distin- guish the various forms beneath them.

It was March, 1944. Joe and his sister, Irene, were thinking about the future and all that it had in

store for them. But their Mother's thoughts were in the past, and the ideas were rushing through her mind. Was it not just twenty-eight years ago this very month, in 1916, that her husband, Richard

Reynolds, sailed away to the war in France ? She could still see him clearly in his Captain's uniform, and she recalled the tears she shed at his departure. After he had sailed her only consolation was his weekly letters, for in them she could follow his activity and picture in her mind the places he visited. :

EL IK to I 67

Then, about a month before the great Allied victory, she received a telegram from the War Depart-

ment informing her that Richard Reynolds, Captain, was missing in action. She made every effort

to be brave, and lived in the hope that her husband would return safely. When the War ended troop-

ships came back, carrying with them the victorious soldiers. Hoping to find him among the arrivals

and to hear him say «Mary» once again, she took her two children to the pier, but Richard was never

among the smiling, jubilant soldiers.

Mary waited a year and still there was no word of her husband. In order to separate herself from

the sad memories of the city she had decided to move West and finally settled in Arizona. There she

would begin life anew and there would be no one to remind her of Richard's tragedy, and thus increase the burden she carried in her heart. Yet, she never completely forgot her husband. She would not allow herself to believe that he was dead, and at the same time she was well aware of the fact that any possibility of finding him was remote. Further information from the War Department had told her

that her husband had been seriously wounded in battle and had never returned to his lines.

Life in Arizona was quiet and peaceful. Mary Reynolds hope was as strong as ever. She told the

twins over and over again the story of «Mary Had A Little Lamb». That was the first poem Irene had

learned and her father would ask her to repeat it time and again, while Joe would laugh loudly and clap his hands in approval. The twins grew older but their Mother could still see her husband, listening proudly to the recital.

Time brought many changes to the Reynolds family. Irene had become a nurse; Joe had graduated from college and obtained a position in New York, and there the family had once again settled. Mary

Reynolds could not escape the reality of another war. March, 1944, and she was cnce again to be torn from those whom she loved. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at the twins. She started to speak but the words would not come, and she hesitated. Joe, sensitive to his Mother's feelings, could almost read her thoughts. He knew she was thinking of the past and also of their future. He knew well that she could not get out of her mind the fact that both of them were to leave her on the morrow and start off to another war. There was a mute silence for a moment and then Joe broke it with the words

«Mom, you are going to be left alone for a short while but I know that you are brave and I am confident that all will go well. We are going to fight for the country that reared us and for you, too.

That is the way Dad would want it. Irene and I will be back very soon and....»

Here he stopped, tongue-tied, not knowing exactly what to say; then suddenly he started again with his usual frankness and courage.

« Should it happen that we must make the great sacrifice we shall have God in our hearts always as you have so often told us. With Him to help us we have nothing to fear and neither have you anything to fear.»

That was a long speech for Joe but it produced the desired effect. His Mother was cheered and heartened by what he said. She was very proud of her twins and more so after that little talk. Under the spell of the moment her problems dwindled to nothingness and a happy serenity and confidence settled on her troubled mind.

Before retiring Mary gave the twins her last words of advice and again repeated to them the story of their lost father. Mary never used the word «dead» when speaking of Richard because she was con- 68 EL IRAQI

vinced, after all these years, that he was still alive. She told them to inquire for him, for they were to

see the places that he had seen. The flame that burned in her maternal heart was kindled in the hearts

of her children. Then, in common, they said the Rosary for their father and for the happy outcome

of their own adventure on the morrow.

The next morning three silent figures made their way to the docks. The mother had put on her

gayest dress to conceal the grief that was in her heart. Irene was dressed in the neat brown uniform

of an Army nurse. Joe marched tall and erect like the soldier that he really was. There was a hurried

but affectionate good-bye. Mary kissed them both and walked from the pier alone, her heart crushed by the onslaught of another war.

About a month later she received the first letter from Irene, informing her that they had enjoyed

a pleasant trip and had landed safely in England. The letters arrived at regular intervals and then came D Day, and the mail stopped. Mary Reynolds was only one of a million mothers who awaited

anxiously word from the Front. And then it came. The letter was from Irene. Both she and Joe were

in France. Joe had been wounded in his first experience under fire, and taken to a hospital behind

the lines. Irene had visited him, he was coming along fine, and there was no need for worry. Mary

Reynolds' hands trembled as she read the letter. Had Irene told her the entire truth?

After the Allies had secured a strong foothold in France, Irene obtained a furlough and went for

a longer visit with her brother. He had improved greatly and was nearly ready for discharge from the

hospital. Joe was given permission to see his sister as often as he wished, and they passed their time

visiting the historic villages of France.

One day, as they were walking through one of these picturesque places, they paused before a

quaint little home on the outskirts of the village. A sign on the gate informed them of the proprietor: «Richard Reynaud».

^Sounds like Dad's name,» mused Joe.

«Can't be,» replied Irene. ;

Suddenly a car drew up to the curb. A tall, distinguished man emerged, carrying the familiar briefcase of a business man. He was dressed immaculately, walked with the briskness of a soldier,

and wore a faint smile that seemed to belie the real state of his mind.

«Good morning, » he said in perfect English, and raised his hat to Irene. A closer look at his face and grey hair revealed that he was a man between fifty and fifty- five.

Joe was the first to answer. «Good morning. Are you an American?))

«I may be,» replied the man, with a twinkle in his eye. «But you are Americans. Won't you come

in and have a cup of tea? American soldiers are always welcome in my home.*

The three entered the house and Irene, with feminime curiosity, looked around in amazement.

It was as cozy a place as one could wish to find. Mr. Reynaud invited them into the front room while he went towards the kitchen to ask the maid to prepare tea. Joe and Irene remarked on the peacefulness of this home in the midst of a wartorn country. While they were speaking their host returned.

<'Well, tell me all about yourselves,)) he said as he sat in one of the easy chairs. «How long have you been in Europe? Where do you live in the United States ?» EL IRAQI 69

«We are brother and sister,» volunteered Joe.

«What!» exclaimed Mr. Reynaud. «I suspected otherwise.')

« Twins/ he said, and a blank expression came over his countenance. Joe and Irene looked at him in wonderment.

There was an embarassing silence for just a moment and then it was Joe who spoke. «Mr.Reynaud, when I asked you if you were an American you replied that you may be. Do you mind if I ask why you seemed to be doubtful about it?»

Reynaud smiled and after a pause that seemed endless he spoke.

«There is a certain mystery about my presence in this village, but if you are interested I shall tell you my story. At the time of the First World War I was a soldier in the Allied armies. During one of the batdes somewhere here in France I received a serious head wound and lost all consciousness.

What happened after the injury is still unknown to me. Some people think I was taken prisoner and placed in a hospital. However true that may be, my first information was given to me by a kind old man named Jacques Reynaud. One afternoon at dusk he was returning home from work when he met me wandering aimlessly on the outskirts of the village. Later he told me he tried to converse with me and soon realized that I was a victim of amnesia.

«He took me to his home, this very house where we are gathered, and his good wife made me a warm supper. They knew I was a soldier and fearing that I would fall into enemy hands, they kept me here and took care of me. They had no children and Mrs. Reynaud nursed me back to health with all the loving care of a mother.

«It was almost a year before I was able to do anything worth while ; my memory never returned.

I tried and tried to remember my background but it was to no avail. Finally I obtained a position in a silk factory and for the sake of convenience took the name of Reynaud. I gave myself the name of

Richard because in some strange way that name always appealed to me.

«I must have had experience in the business world before the war, for they told me at the factory

that I showed remarkable ability. It was no time before I rose to a high position and have held it ever since. About ten years ago Mr. Reynaud died; his wife passed away just before the outbreak of the present war. I remained in their home all that time and they always looked upon me as a son. I am a middle-aged man, now, and while I have been rather happy in this village, yet it seems that something has always been missing in my life. If I could only remember, »

The twins were spellbound. Irene's eyes had gone from Reynaud to her brother as the former

told his story. She could see the resemblence now, there was no further question in her mind and she was certain that this man was her long lost father.

(Mr. Reynaud,« she said, «you have entertained us with your interesting story. Now I would like

to entertain you. Do you mind?»

«Not at all,» replied Reynaud. He was rather puzzled by the question, but Joe was beginning to see the light.

Irene walked to the center of the room, looked straight at Reynaud, and began: «Mary had a little :

70 EL IRAQI

lamb, its fleece was white as snow, >> When she had finished Joe was quick to fill his part in the

drama. He clapped his hands and laughed hilariously as his sister finished the poem.

Reynaud rubbed his eyes; his face was twisted in pain. A great struggle was going on within the

man. The words came slowly and falteringly «I see it all now the apartment in New York the twins, Irene and Joe Mary, my wife.»

He did not have time to inquire about Mary for the twins were showering their affection upon

their father, and telling him that their mother was alive and well. She was waiting for them in New

York and waiting for the reward of her eternal hope. The twins told their father of the confidence

their mother had that he would one day be found, and the family reunion which had been a dream

was about to come true. As they hastened to the village to send a cablegram to New York, Joe looked

at his father and smiled.

«You're not so old, Pop.»

«No,» replied Richard Reynolds, «but I am a war older than you, son.* Irene smiled as she held

her father's arm, for she was thinking of her mother in New York.

Mary Reynolds was sitting in the living room of her New York apartment, quietly reading the

early afternoon paper. The doorbell rang and when she opened it a boy stood there with an envelope

in his outstretched hands. She snatched it quickly. It was not from the War Department, and she was grateful for that. With trembling hands she opened the envelope and read the unbelievable words

There were tears in Mary Reynolds'eyes, but they were tears of joy. Her hope had been rewarded

and a long dream was about to come true.

STILL SHALL I TRUST THEE

by EDMOND SILVEIRA

As Paul trudged down Rashid street he reviewed in his mind the events of the past three months Though only twenty-three years of age he already knew the meaning of sacrifice and suffering. In

March he had lost his father in a fire which had burned their business establishment to the ground.

Last April his mother had died of grief and he was left alone with neither relative nor friend to comfort

him, - alone, except for God. It was Paul's trust in God that had saved him from utter despair. It had

helped him to meet with resignation and courage the refusals he met in his vain search for employment

and drove him onward with undaunted hope until he finally did find a suitable job. As he walked

along the main street he resolved to make this position the foundation upon which he would build

the tower of his glory and fame and he pondered the happy future that lay before him. The last three

months may have been filled with bitterness and failure but now the tide had changed and Paul was

once again content with life. God had helped him, and in return he must not fail to express his thanks

to so merciful a Father.

The new position interested Paul very much and his cheerful disposition immediately won new

friends among his fellow-workers. Every problem was solved with one exception, namely, his lodging.

Paul was tired of living in a hotel and had been trying to obtain a room in the home of some family.

In a conversation with one of the clerks in his office he mentioned this difficulty and in a few days the

search was ended. The clerk found a place for him in a neighbor's house where there lived Mr. and

Mrs. Joseph and their daughter, Norah.

In his new abode Paul's happiness was complete, at least for a while. He liked the room, he enjoyed

the food, and it was not long before he developed an affection for Norah, a girl with sparkling eyes,

dark brown hair and a radiant countenance. Paul was reluctant to confess his admiration for the girl

because he feared that romance at this time might hinder his determination to be a success in the business world. He tried to argue with himself but that only increased the fire of his love for Norah. He began to concentrate on his work and stayed at the office until late at night, studying or reading, just

to put her out of his mind. But the tree of love had sent its roots deep into his heart and it now cast a shadow over his every waking thought and action. He fought on bravely but the effort took its toll on Paul and in a short time his health broke down and he was confined to his room.

The doctor of the business firm was summoned and when he had finished his examination he found Mrs. Joseph waiting outside the patient's room. Thinking her to be the mother of Paul, the doctor warned her that he was a very sick young man and that he would require constant attention to

nurse him back to health. Mrs. Joseph had grown to like Paul very much so when she realized that he was seriously ill she was moved to pity and cared for him with all the solicitude of a mother. 72 EL IRAQI

Days passed by but neither the doctor's medicine nor the motherly devotion of Mrs. Joseph was enough. Paul's condition rapidly grew worse and the doctor decided that he needed someone constantly by his side. Mrs. Joseph was unable to do this alone so she shared the vigil with her daughter, Norah.

Paul, however, failed to improve, and after a while he became delirious. At times his words were scarcely intelligible, but now and then his faithful attendants grasped his meaning. Then he would

regain consciousness, as if startled by the sound of his own voice.

On one occasion he awoke to find Norah kneeling beside his bed with a surprised yet happy look in her bright eyes. Before he could utter a word she said: «You were dreaming of me, and called out to me. I heard you say: 'Norah, Norah, I love you! Please come to me! Do not leave me, please!' Then you opened your eyes and saw me here.»

«Are you angry at me for saying that? Do you wish me to apologize?)) he asked faintly.

«No. Please do not say that, » she replied sweetly.

«Even if I tell you now that I love you?»

«Paul, I want you to say that because. I feel the same way. I have loved you since you came to live in our house,» she said, and the music of her voice filled his heart with joy.

In the midst of Norah's joy there was, however, a note of sadness and anguish. The doctor had told her mother an hour before that Paul would probably not live the night out, and as she gazed at his helpless figure she prayed for his complete recovery. Overcome by emotion she knelt by his side

and spoke: «Paul. My dear Paul. You must not leave me. I love you, Paul. You can not die, my Paul.

Paul » There was silence.

Then to her surprise the sick man rallied once again. He raised his feeble arm and touched her

with his trembling hand. With the utmost effort he finally succeeded in speaking these words, as

Norah looked upon him with pity and love: «Norah, my love, do not despair. Remember that there

is a God, a good and generous God. If we only pray to Him I am certain that He will help us. I have

prayed to Him before when I was in trouble and He has never failed me. Before we begin to pray,

call the priest, that he may bring Jesus to me.»

After the priest had administered the Holy Sacrament he agreed to remain for a while with Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph and Norah to await the end which the doctor had predicted. The night passed and

the golden sun rose in the East to bring light to a darkened world. As its brilliant rays crept into the

sick room they seemed to carry light and hope to a troubled heart and a weary mind. Paul had won

his fight for life. His strong desire to live, his trust in God, and his newly found love all combined to

bring strength to his body and mind and before many days he was back at his work, completely recovered.

A short time after his illness Paul was seen on his way to Church. As he knelt at the altar his

prayer was a secret between him and God. And yet we know it was a prayer of thanksgiving for favors

received. There were two favors for which Paul was particularly grateful. One was his return to good

health. And the other? Yes, Norah was soon to become the bride of Paul. DERMAL ARCHITECTURE

by NUBAR ASTARJIAN

Our day has seen the flowering of a comparatively new healing art, that of skin grafting. The persistent and meticulous research of a few optimistic men of science in the past thirty years has so perfected this art that it has become a great boon to modern medicine. To many it has given a renewal of life and joyous living, particularly so during and after the recent world conflict, when many soldiers were badly mutilated in the defence of their country.

iOm^jr

The transplantation of skin started back in France in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war.

Thereafter, it was practiced in Germany, England and other European countries.

The seeds of this science were planted in the observation of contracting wounds and their healing.

Scientists gave studied consideration to the power of the skin to heal superficial wounds and started to experiment with the healing powers of the skin by means of transplants. Successful experimentation soon developed into a science and an important one indeed.

Prior to the twenties few people were interested in this work, the better known early workers being Blair, Waldron, Pickerill and Gillies. Dr. Earl Calvin Padgett, a native of Kansas City, who was to make great contributions to and play a leading role in the development of the science of skin- grafting, appeared on the field only in the late twenties. These research men developed two methods of skin-grafting, namely, free and attached grafts. The latter type consists in loosening all but one end of a piece of tissue, usually from the surface of the abdomen, thigh, or arm, and applying the loose end to the open wound on the same person. In this way the graft retains a blood supply until the wounded area is able to develop its own circulation. Once the new blood supply has been established, the graft is severed from the donor area and the latter then grows new tissue to supplant that which was removed.

Thus the wound is dressed with new skin, while, at the same time, the lost skin of the donor area is replenished with fresh growth. The application of this type of graft has not been very successful 74 EL IRAQI

between different individuals, except in the case of identical twins. In the former case two factors are responsible for the lack of success ; the difference in blood types and the reaction of the body to foreign substances that enter the body by way of the grafts. Attached grafts, however, between individuals, even when unsuccessful, have proven their utility as temporary wound dressings.

The free graft is the same in principle as the attached method, except that it is cut off from the donor area and applied directly to the wound. This would seem rather simple, but it is, in fact, a very delicate piece of work. Scientists by painstaking research have found that the exact thickness of the graft, in order that the operation might be effective, should be about one-hundredth of an inch. To remove a section of skin of that thickness gives an indication of how delicate an operation skin-grafting is.

In the beginning the skin to be grafted was cut by hand with a razor-like knife and proved an

unsatisfactory method because it was very inaccurate. In 1929, Vilroy Blair discovered an apparatus which was more accurate, but far from perfect. However, Padgett in 1930, in cooperation with Hood,

started to work on a more accurate instrument and their combined efforts were rewarded in 1937, with the production of the Dermatome. A year later, this machine was available to doctors everywhere.

The Dermatome eliminated many difficulties in the field and increased the percentage of successful

skin-grafts. It consists of a semicircular drum of polished metal to which an adjustable knife is attached.

The knife can be so manipulated that the required thickness of skin can be removed from any area in

the desired shape to fit the wound. For the operation, both the skin and the metal are painted with

a sticky adhesive in order to adhere closely to each other when the drum is rolled along the skin.

When an uneven graft is desired the adhesive is replaced by talc, mixed with eth;r, on the undesired

parts.

The predominant advantage of the Dermatome, besides its ability to remove grafts of the desired

thickness from chest, thigh and abdomen, is to allow for the precise amount of contraction of the graft

on the wound. Too much contraction results in the failure of the operation. The size of the wound determines the amount of contraction, for which accurate allowance can be made with the use of the Dermatome.

In the beginning one-fourth of the skin's thickness was cut for a graft. This proved most unsatis-

factory because the graft contracted, caused disfigurement and left unprotected areas of tissue around it.

Later it was thought that grafts, the full thickness of the skin, would give better results. It is true that

such grafts did not contract, but it left an unprotected area on the donor. Padgett came to the conclusion

that a process intermediate to the two would solve the problem, and this is, in fact, what his Dermatome accomplished.

One other danger had to be met, namely infections. Hemolytic streptococci easily found their

way under the grafts and set up an infection. During the first World War seventy-five percent of the

skin-grafts became infected. Scientific advance, however, has provided means of combating these

germs. Sulfanilamide was the first drug used to clear up the infections, and later, sulfadiazine was

found to be more effective and expeditious. The possibility of infection, as a result of a skin-graft

operation, has been practically removed by powdering the areas involved with sulfadiazine just prior

to the operation.

Thus this branch of medical science, which, like so many others, had hard beginnings, has finally

blossomed to full growth in our day, giving more enjoyable living to the ones mutilated. » » THE UNFINISHED FEUD

PERCY SEQUEIRA

<0^^l ^y

John Haims rushed from his room as his ear caught the sound of oaths and fists mingled together.

«The same as ever, Abdullah and Abbas are fighting,» he muttered to himself. vWell, I must be rid of one of them before blood is spilt.

He ran to the place where the fighting was going on, and with one strong pull wrenched the two struggling figures apart.

<'Now why are you fighting?* he demanded.

«Sahib, he wanted to steal my knife,» said Abdullah.

«A11 right, Abbas, I don't want you any longer,» said John authoritatively.

«What! You dismiss me, Sahib?» and, with fire shooting from his eyes, he continued, «I will

kill you, and kill you before the sun rises again.

It would not have mattered much if Abbas had been dismissed under different circumstances,

but to be dismissed like this on the mere word of a member of the detested Albo-Muhian tribe, that

was too outrageous for a proud Albo-Sagarian to endure. John knew this, and he also knew that the

threat was not an idle one. He made no answer, however, but merely turned around and strode back 76 EL IRAQI

towards his house. It was a house made of mud mixed with another material which the Arabs called

«libin». The house consisted of one room, one window, and a door that a child could break through.

Yet John liked to call this building home, and indeed this house suited him well. When he left his family at Baghdad and came to the country near Mahmudiah because of his health, he did not know how he would ever be able to live in such a place. But gradually his attitude changed. He became as healthy and contented as any man could be. To his six feet of height, iron strength was added ; his lips became firmer; his once pale cheeks changed to a healthy brown color. With this change in himself everything about him seemed to change, also. In the morning, he no longer rose with a feeling of disgust and sadness. He now loved the place which had given him this new life, and wished he might never leave it.

This evening, as he entered the room, a smile lighted his face, for he thought of the surprise he would give his family when they should see him again. The smiJe, however, quickly left his face when to his mind came the words of Abbas. He stood thinking for a minute, then closed the door. His eyes wandered in the direction of a dozen empty tins scattered in one of the corners, and a sudden thought, struck him. Carrying the tins to the door, he piled them against it, and then lay relaxed and relieved on his bed, fully dressed, thinking of home and friends until gradually dreams took the place of thoughts

Crash! fell the tins. John started from his sleep and with one leap was behind the door. The silence that followed was maddening. After what seemed an eternity, the door creaked and started to open slowly. Softly Abbas entered. With the moonlight falling on his back and flashing on his upraised weapon, the «muguar», he presented a terrifying sight.

With one leap, John was upon him. The two men went rolling on the floor, grappling and kicking and making a mess of everything.

that the man would not wake for hours .

At dawn, loud , angry shouts awakened John, and after putting his revolver in his pocket, he ran to the door. There he beheld the whole Albo-Sagary tribe. He had felt sure that they would come, but he was not afraid, for he also knew that the Albo-Muhians would not leave him helpless. Advancing steadily toward the excited mob, he said coldly, «What do you want?»

<'We want to ask the the sahib a question,»and, without waiting for permission to do so, the shaikh continued, «Why did you dismiss Abbas ?>>

A deathlike silence followed. Measuring his words, John then replied quietly,«He was not behaving, so I fired him.» All this time John was watching the shaikh closely. He had one hand in his pocket

gripping the revolver and ready to pull the trigger if that were necessary. The moment came. Bang ! went the revolver, and with a groan the leader fell. A loud shout of anger rose from the tribesmen, but before they could stop him, John ran to the top of a nearby hill, and raising his voice called for the Albo-Muhians. In two minutes they crowded about him and the fight began.

The Albo-Sagarians were outnumbered, so after fighting fiercely for a short time they began to retreat. Before the hour was over, everything was quiet again,.

For two months afterwards intermittent fighting took place between the two tribes, and many a EL IK IQl 77

night John had to sleep in caves or behind bushes, for the Albo-Sagarians were still thirsting for his blood. These resdess nights made him weak and tired, and greatly reduced his strength. John knew that this tribe would not give up until they got him. So one morning, gathering his valuables, and bidding farewell to his Arab friends, he mounted his horse and left the place. He did not need food, for he was welcome, as every traveller is, to eat and rest in every Arab house on the way.

Once, before reaching the main road to Baghdad, he met a caravan of Beduins. Now John had heard that Beduins did not like city people, and that they called them «bread-sellers». He was not surprised, therefore, when they surrounded him and gave evidence of their intention to kill him.

John managed to engage them in a discussion, and soon convinced them that it was not his fault that he was a city man, but the fault of his parents. To his relief, they accepted his explanation and invited him to remain with them.

For several days he lived with these people and partook of their hospitality. He found them kind, generous, and more than willing to share their few possessions with a stranger. During the day he watched the women at work; payed with the smiling, happy children; and reflected upon the cheer- fulness of this small group, separated from the rest of the world. The evenings found him in long conversations with the men of the tribe and John listened eagerly to the endless tales of Beduin life and the traditions that had been handed down from generations. Indeed they were good people, and the longer he remained with them the more fond he grew of his newly-found friends.

Yet, he must be on his way, and in due time he left the tribe, much to the disappointment of all.

With many a sigh of regret John bade farewell and struck out for the main road to Baghdad. Night came, but he continued on his way, lost in reverie as he crossed the dark desert in awesome silence.

Suddenly he was startled by a voice crying out: «Stop! What stranger dares to pass this way at night!»

Instead of answering John spurred his horse onward, and soon was beyond the reach of his ques- tioner. At long last he felt he was safe and secure from the pursuit of any of his enemies. Lessening his speed he brought his mount to a stop and rested there, gazing back longingly on the country he had

left. He had regained his health in this new abode, he had found happiness and joy in its surroundings, but the enmity of men had shortened his stay. Deep in his heart he realized that these people were happy in their own simple way, and he well knew the absence of this mysterious joy in the lives of those who dwelt in a busy, noisy city.

A mixed emotion of sadness and joy filled his heart as his eyes swelled with tears, sadness because he was leaving the people he loved, and joy because of the imminent reunion with his family

in the city. «Some day I shall return/ he said to himself over and over again as he rode slowly towards

the highway. «Some day when tribal conflicts have passed away, I shall come back and dwell for the rest of my days in this region, and once again shall I find peace and contentment in this life. I am richer

for the wisdom I have gained, for I have learned a lesson that only experience can teach.» A SURPRISE WELCOME

VARKIS DARZI

Deep gloom gripped the entire kingdom. Out from the royal palace had come a strange and hitherto unheard-of prohibition. All singing, private as well as public, was banned for the alleged reason that

it was beginning to exert a demoralizing influence on the lives of the people. Any individual who dared to flaunt this order, be he singer or listener, was to be severely punished. Men were dismayed, pleasure-loving people reluctantly abandoned their amusements, and wealthy and cultured households were deprived of parties of jovial entertainment.

Late one afternoon, just as the sun was descending in the west and casting its final rays in a golden-purple haze over the cozy and beautiful homes of the capital, a sad-faced youth began to cross the bridge which spanned the river. As he trudged wearily along, his alert mind was pondering the difficulties occasioned by the prohibition on singing. Vainly he sought to discover a remedy for the joyless situation, but no safe solution suggested itself. Suddenly he raised his head, and to his surpris e » » .

he saw, several paces in front of him, the handsome features of a member of the royal family. It was the youthful Prince Ibrahim and he was speaking with a man who, a few days before, had been one

of the most popular singers in the capitol. Quickening his pace, the sad-faced youth drew closer to the pair. The singer, known to the populace as Isaac, was whispering to the Prince, but the youth caught

these words: « Tomorrow evening your company some new melodies »

The Prince then replied eagerly, unaware that his words were being overheard, «Thank you.

I shall come to your house tomorrow at one hour after sunset.

A nod of agreement followed, and the two hurried off in opposite directions, without even casting a glance at the figure near them. For a moment the youth remained motionless, but when he continued

his journey it was with a lighter step. His mind was made up: he too would enjoy the secret singing of Isaac.

The next day he dressed himself in fine clothes, borrowed a mule to ride, and at the proper time

presented himself at the gate of Prince Ibrahim's palace. Claiming to be the messenger of Isaac, the singer, he was ushered into the diwan and was soon joyfully received by the Prince.

«You know, Prince Ibrahim, the agreement you have made with your brother, Isaac. Why

have you failed to come in good time? It is now nearly sunset.»

«Go and give my regards to Isaac,» whispered the Prince. «Tell him that I have just returned

from a long journey, but that I shall speedily change my clothes and come.»

The boy went off with a smile in his heart, satisfied that his scheme was working out successfully. On his arrival at Isaac's house, he presented himself as the messenger of Prince Ibrahim and was received with due honor.

«The Prince has sent me, began the youth, to tell you that he has just arrived from a long journey.

He will change his clothes and come here as soon as possible.*)

the the Prince's Isaac nodded, but urged youth to return to palace. «Try to bring the Prince quickly », he said. «Tell him I am very hungry and that I await his coming with eager anxiety.

The boy went back to the palace, but on the way he thought of a better plan to further his scheme

the Prince that I have been ordered to wait for him and that I may not leave without him.»

The message was brought to the Prince, and in a short time he appeared, properly dressed for

the occasion. Together they went to Isaac's house, and from their conversation on the short ride, it

was clear that the Prince truly believed the youth to be Isaac's messenger.

On their arrival, Isaac greeted the Prince effusively. Thinking the youth to be the Prince's messen-

ger and chosen companion, the singer had no hesitation in admitting him also. Thus it was that the

youth took part in the festivities which followed. He was respectfully and kindly treated by Isaac's

servants, he enjoyed the food that had been prepared, and he listened with unconcealed delight to the

enchanting melodies of the famous singer.

All during the party, the youth acted with polished gentleness, and he impressed Isaac with his

charming personality. Finally, the singer remarked to the Prince, :

80 EL IRAQI

you such a treasure.*

«My companion?* exclaimed the Prince with great surprise. (What gives you the idea that he is my companion? I understood that he was your messenger !»

«What?» demanded Isaac in an astonished tone. «But how can that be?»

Questions flew back and forth between the Prince and Isaac, and in short order both of them

realized that they had been tricked by the cunning of this gentie youth. Isaac's face became red with

rage. He leaped from his chair and angrily ordered his servants to bring whips that he might punish the boy who had deceived them. The youth, however, showed no signs of alarm, and when he spoke,

it was with complete calm and self-possession.

clt may interest you to know that I am the secret agent of His Royal Highness, the King. I swear

that if you lay a hand on me, you shall regret it. If you do not keep silent and if you do not permit

me to enjoy this entertainment with you, I shall report you to the king and inform him that you have been listening to singing in violation of his prohibition. You know the severe punishment which will

then be yours.»

Immediately, both men softened their attitude toward the youth, for they clearly saw the predica- ment in which they were. For the remainder of the evening, they offered him the best of food and insisted that he take the most comfortable chair in the room. When he did take his departure, he left loaded down with the gifts they showered on him.

A few months later, the King himself grew tired of his prohibition on singing and gave orders that

it be withdrawn. With great chagrin, the Prince then related to His Majesty what had happened during

the period of gloomy and cheerless days. The King smiled at first, but then in all seriousness he gave orders that the youth was to be searched for and brought immediately to the palace. Within a few hours, the trembling young man was dragged into the royal presence.

«You have been very clever,» solemnly began the King. «You did wrong in practicing deceit,

WHAT IS A FOOT ?

The foot is a well-balanced organ of the human hotly, the health of

which depends to a great extent upon the proper use of a well-fitting shoe.

WHY HAVE SHOES SUCH AN IMPORTANT INFLUENCE ?

Because wrongly fitting shoes create pressure which throws the foot out of balance, the bones and muscles out of aligment and causes fallen arches

and bunions.

Insist on well-fitting shoes, BATA Shoes fit well because they are

fashioned on lasts made by long experienced shoe scientists. nu IRAQ EL IRAQI
