covered something rare ? a doukey boy
In Cairo with a sense of the Ideal. Most

traveler, -?Tld in my surprise I almost
lost my balance.
"YVWUi jiot smoke, Hassan?" said
~I thought all tho donkey boys
smoked."
"I "don't," said Hassan, who looked
about eleven, was short, very brown,
very scantily dressed, quite dirty, had
only ono eye and trotted behind the
donkey wltb rounded shoulders and
head craned forward. "I don't. If I
did, my family would beat nie,_an<J
quite rlpbt, too."
"But who are you, and who are your
family?" I asked.
"^.h!" he said, proudly,,- "we are
Sudaense. In the Sudan, we are strict.
To timoke, to use wine, to drink coffee,
not to pray? these are shameful things;

they hang him to a tree with his faco
