"I ran up to the city one day last week," the paragraph read, "and who do you suppose I saw with Winfield Harrah in the lobby of the Hotel Strathmore? You would never guess. None other than our versatile friend T. Victor Sprudell!" How did they meet? For what purpose had Sprudell sought Harrah's acquaintance?
But you, by George! wait till I spring you on him!" "Say," Bruce answered resentfully, "I came East to raise money for a hydro-electric power plant, not to go into the ring. It looks as if you're taking a good deal for granted." "That's all right," Harrah answered easily. "How much do you want? What you got? Where is it?" Bruce told him briefly.
They were sport-loving, courteous, generous people that Harrah drew about him merry-hearted as those may be who are free from care and Bruce found the inhabitants in this new world eminently congenial. He never had realized before how much money meant in the world "outside."
And so we find in the Inscriptions that the animal, or animals, which appear to represent wild cattle, were only met with in outlying districts of the empire on the borders of Syria and in the country about Harrah; and then in such small numbers as to imply that even there they were not very abundant.
It troubled as well as puzzled Bruce for he could not think the meeting an accident because even he could see that Harrah and Sprudell moved in widely different stratas of society.
Harrah looked at him speculatively, without resentment, then his lips parted in a grin which showed two sharp, white, prominent front teeth. "On the square," eagerly, "do you think you can down me?" "I know it," curtly "any old time or place. Now, if it suits you." To Bruce's amazement Harrah took his hand and shook it joyfully. "I wouldn't be surprised if you could! You look as hard as nails.
Those he now wore were not expensive but they fitted him and for the first time in many years he had something on his feet other than hob-nailed miner's shoes. Also he laid aside his stetson because, as he explained when Harrah deplored the change, he thought "it made folks look at him."
Beyond the broken eastern ground, the ruddy Hisma and the gloomy Harrah form the fitting horizon. After this much for geography, we may view the monarch of Midianite mountains in the beauty and the majesty of his picturesque form. Seen from El-Muwaylah, he is equally magnificent in the flush of morning, in the still of noon, and in the evening glow.
