I advise every man who has tobacco, to light a cigarette and look indifferent.

_Verb sap!_" Most of the Legionaries produced tobacco; but the Olema, smiling, raised a hand of negation.

For already the slave-girls were entering with trays of cigarettes and silver boxes of tobacco.

These they passed to the visitors, then to the Arabs.

Such as preferred cigarettes, suffered the girls to light them at the copper fire-pans.
Others, choosing a _shishah_, let the girls fill it from the silver boxes; and soon the grateful vapors of tobacco were rising to blend with the spiced incense-smoke.
A more comfortable feeling now possessed the Legionaries.
