?5he Sccmrge o/D0Lma.sciiS v A Story of the Ea^st... By SYLVANUS COBB. JR. Coprrlchted 18M 6y Robert Bonner*8 Sona. CHAPTER VII.--(Continued.) When the princess was alone, she trembled beneath the weight of* the Hew thought that had been wrought Upon her. Flight was something that fcad not made its way to her mind bs- tore. but now that it.had been present­ ed, she could not dismiss it. She had •"fevealed her whole feeling, so far as Hie king was concerned, in her speech ,'tb Albia. There may have been other Springs within her soul which she did liot then dare to touch; but in her own •oul, unsupported and uninfluenced by Other causes than such as spring from ireason and reflection, had grown a fear , lif Horam, and a terror of being his •Wife. She had dreamed of poor Helena Qntil the d§ad queen seemed almost An attendant spirit upon her, sent to Warn her. The night passed, and the flay came; and she had resolved that „.*he would not marry with the old king lit she could • avoid it. When Albia .(same, and asked her what she had de­ termined, such was the purport of her toswer. . 'But," said the bondmaiden, "there is but one way in which the sacrifice can be avoided. Are you . ready to flee?" "Not yet--not yet, Albia. Wait through tne day." In the afternoon the king made a visit to the house of his prime minis- tier and spent a short time with Ulin. He never looked mor§ repulsive. He Was loud in his words of love, and IBade the announcement that fortune •had turned full in his favor. It was evident enough that he had been tak­ ing more wine than usual. When he . went away, Ulin sank down upon a i$w stool, and burled her face in her Winds. "Albia," she said, when she felt like iJBpeaking, "I can bear no more. I would ffcther die than give myself to that iaan. If I should die, my father would lose me; but if I flee from Damascus, I may at some time return to him. If Jfc>u can prepare for leaving the city, I Will accompany you this very night." , The bondmaiden promised that 6'ie Would do all in her power; and without Waiting to waste time in use1 ess words, the went forth to search for the help the needed. Evening came, and Ulhi had not tfcrunk back from the decision "she hlid made. There were two reasons Why her home had not power to win her back from her resolve. The death t/t her mother had taken away the brightest part of that home; and, fur­ thermore, its character of home was toon to be changed if Bhe remained. If could not be her home any more. CHAPTER Vlfit^'-"'. Hobaddan. Thus sat the princess, presenting herself with every available reason that could favor her in her resolution, When Albia came in, with a quick Step and a flushed cheek. "My mistress," she said, when she had assured herself that they were alone, "there is a man in the garden who wishes to speak with you." "A man!" cried Ulin. "He says it is a case of life or death--of life or death to an individ­ ual, and of life or death to a city," pursued the bondmaiden, without no­ ticing the interruption. "He gained entrance to the garden, and has been (Marching for the lady Ulin. He did .not tell me his name; but I know that he was with the robbers at the Pal­ ace of the Valley, and he says he is a friend of Julian. If you will see him now, I can conduct him up without ganger of discovery." "In mercy's name, Albia, what mean you?" The princess trembled like an aspen. "What can he want with me?" "I think he is an honest man, my lady; and I think you had better see him. - I only speak my own feelings." "Does he say that Julian sent him?" Mked Ulin, trembling more violently as that name fell from her lips. "Julian did not send him," replied Albia; "and yet he comes in behalf of Julian. I think the noble young chief­ tain is in danger, and this man hopes that you may be able to render some assistance." • "Indeed, Albia, I must not do such a thing. It would not be proper. I must not do it. What is the robber chieftain to me?" " "I know not of a verity, my lady, that such is the man's hope; but I do know that he prays most earnestly to see you. Yejt, if you will not see him, I will carry to him your word." "What will he do if I refuse?" ' "He will go away, and trouble you no more." - "Are you-'sur^ of this, Albia?'. "I am, my lady. He bade nke Btty unto you that you should act your own pleasure. He urges no claim, and will take no offense at refusal, but he prayerfully asks that you will grant him audience." ' The princess was not proof against the spirit which prompted to the re- lieption of the robber. It was not Wholly curiosity which moved her. There were feelings working within her which she could not have ex­ plained, even to hersalf. She told Al­ bia that she might conduct the man to her apartment. "You will come with him, Albia; and you will remain with me while he is here." The bondmaiden went away, and ere long returned, followed by a tall, •tout, middle-aged man. As the rays of the lamp fell upon his face, reveal­ ing features that were far above the average in their stamp of manhood, Ulin recognized him as one whom she had seen with Julian in the Valley of X#ycanius. He bowed very low as he entered, and when he saw how the maiden was affected by his presence, he proceeded at once to open his busi­ ness. "Noble lady," he said, in a tone which might at once have banished all fear from the minds of his listeners, "I have come to you upon a most •trange business, and I will use as few words &s possible In presenting It to you. My young /naster is in danger." j "Do you speak of Julian?" asked the princess, with a slight start. "Yes, my lady," replied the man, standing respectfully before her, with ;hjs cap in his hand. ' r- ~ "My name is Hobaddan, and I am Julian's lieutenant. I have been with him from the period of his earliest childhood. Since he was large enough to lift a lance, I h&ve been his friend and companion. , He was given into my care during his opening youth; and when he reached the estate of manhood I was content to serve him. I love him as a brsther--aye, better than most brothers love. I love him tenderly and devotedly. And all his followers love him. A thousand stout mep love and worship him." What did all this mean? Why had Hobaddan come to tell her this? Ulin trembled, knowing not wherefore, and gazed anxiously into the speaker's face. • ; • "Lady," pursued the lieutenant, who had stopped a moment, as though he would assure himself that his lan­ guage gave no offense, "my master is in danger. He is in the hands of his deiadliest enemy. He is in this city-- cast into a dark, deep dungeon, and Horam means to kill him!" Ulin turned pale as death, and clasped her hands upon her bosom. Her look signified that she would ask how it happened. "I will explain," continued Hobad- dian, "how this misfortune befell my chieftain. Have you ever seen an Israelite named Judah?" "I know him well," said Albia. "He is the king's slave." "And two black men, named Qsmlr and Selim?" "I know thein also," answered the bondmaiden. "They came to our camp," said Ho­ baddan, "and told so fair a story that they wefle admitted to fellowship, and the blacks were placed as servants near the person of our chieftain. But the result proved that they were sent out bf Horam, and that their mission wasXo capture the Scourge of Damas­ cus. And this work they have accom­ plished How they did it I cannot tell. I only know that we missed our leader, and that the three conspirators were missing with him. I came at once to this city, and have succeeded in dis­ covering what I have told you. Julian is in prison, and of course the fate of death awaits him." "But sir, said Ulia, struggling to speak calmly, "what can this mean to me?" "Noble lady, I know that; the thought , of seeking you was a wild one; and perhaps you will say it was monstrous; but I could think of no other* course. I know that your father was prime minister; and that you were in a position to wield some in­ fluence. There is not an ofllcer in Damascus to whom I would dare to apply. Is there not some way in which you can help me?" "How, sir? Help you in what?" "In setting my young master free." "Indeed, sir, you have taken a step most wild. How should I, the daugh­ ter of Aboul Cassem, dare to step in between justice and its victim?" - , "Ah, lady," returned the lieutenant, "some of us think that others higher than Julian owe more to justice than does he." "Still, sir," pursued Ulin, "it is most absurd to think that I- could help yOu in this." Did Ulin appear like one offended? No. Did she treat the name of Julian as though she deemed him worthy of the fate which threatened him? No. She seemed rather to be struggling to put away some feeling of a very dif­ ferent character. The lieutenant evi­ dently read her nature, for he pro­ ceeded earnestly; "Do not misunderstand me, lady. Were the work simply to set Julian free, I should Jiot have visited you. The work I would give into your hands is the salvation of Damascus. If our master is slain by the king, this city must suffer terribly. The vengeance of those who love the chieftain will be dreadful. If Julian falls beneath the sword of the king's executioner, his followers will draw more blood from the life of this people than Polypses drew when he ravaged the city of the northern plain. To save all this, no­ ble princess, can you not help me? Is there not some way in which you can r'emove the bolt from the door of the chieftain's prison-house?" Ulin was trembling more violently than before. "O, sir," she cried, giving full scope' now to her' feelings, "you find me powerless to help you. I have not the influence which you ascribe to me. If I had the power, I would not hesi­ tate If I Were the jailer, and held the keys of the prison door, I would set your master free; but, alas! I am more weak than you imagine. I am more like a prisoner than like a prin­ cess!" . At this juncture the bondmaiden arose from her seat and moved for­ ward. Her dark eyes sparkled with peculiar fire, and her fair brow worked as though the bain were revolving mighty thoughts. "Dear lady," she said* addressing her mistress, "there is but one way in which we can render the assurance which this man seeks." "Speak. Albia," said Ulin, betraying, a suddenness of emotion which told very plainly how her desire ran. "Not now, my mistress," returned the girl. "I. must have time: If this man can come to our garden two hours past midnight, I can tell him more." "Is there help?" asked Hobaddan, eagerly. "I cannot tell you now," replied Al­ bia. "I can only tell you this! Tf there is help, it is to be found only in one quarter. I will look for it there; and, at the time I have men­ tioned, you shall know the result. I will look for it if my lady is willing." "And I am pardoned for my intru: sion?" said Hobaddan. "Yes," returned Ulin; She would have eaid more/ bnt Albia wBS al­ ready at the door, and the robber had turned to follow her. CHAPTER IX. The Dark Hour. "It seemed like a dream to Ulin. She closed her eyes--and opened them --and arose--and walked across the chamber--simply to assure herself that she was awake. Was it possible that a member of the robber band had been to see her--had been within her chamber--had come, and had gone? A friend and companion of Julian's seeking her for aid in behalf of the chieftain? She was trying to make it appear real, when her bondmaiden returned. The door was closed, and Albia re­ marked, as she took a seat: "He will be in the garden two hours past midnight, my lady; and if we can help him, we must do our Tfrork as speedily as possible." "Help." repeated Ulin, gazing Into her attendant'3 face. "How can we help Julian?* "The thing may be possible,*' replied Albia, in a thoughtful mood. "If you would serve him, I think a. way can he opened to the accomplishment" 1 he princess reflected a few mo­ ments, and then said: "If the man who was here spoke, the truth, it may become my duty to help him; and certainly his story seemed plausible. I can very easily see how the powerful robber band, moved to desperation by the death "of their beloved leader, might wreak most terrible vengeance upon thie city; and surely, if we can be the means of averting so dire a calamity, it is our duty so to do." "I think it is," added Albia; "But," continued Ulin, "if Julian is in the power of the king, he must be in one of the strongest dungeons; and a strict guard must be kept over him. How can we reach him?" "I can think of but one way," re­ turned the bondmaiden, laying down the plan with her finger as she pro­ ceeded. "Osmir and Selim had a hand in capturing the young chieftain; and it is not impossible that they may have a hand in guarding him. I judge so from the fact that the capture of the robber has not yet become gen­ erally known in the city, tfhich would certainly have been the case if the king's officers had known it. Now we have some claim Upon the gratitude of thin Osmir, and I think he is, by na­ ture, grateful enough to repay us. He is the man whom we found faint and dying upon the shore of the lake, and who must have died if we had not nursed him.. You remember the cir­ cumstance?" "He had almost been killed by some slaves of Aleppo," explained Albia. (To be continued.) Bavarian* Keep Doga. Bavarians are not extravagant, but no family is so poor that it cah not afford to keep a dog. Dogs are every­ where in Munich, and every tram car passing has a string of dogs after it- dogs whose owners are passengers. At the entrance of the large shops groups of sedate, patient dogs can be seen waiting for their masters. In the cafes the dogs are prominent. Everybody takes his animal with him--sometimes two or three--and, after the dogs have lapped their beer or saucer of coffee-- for the dog fares like his master-- there is a great scampering and shuf­ fling under the chairs and tables, but no one seems' annoyed at the melee. It is from the banks that dogs are rigidly excluded, and a pc#ter is placed at tne door of each bank for the pur­ pose of checking your pet, like an um­ brella or a parcel. The Munich dog, mostly a dachshund, is intelligent and good-natured. He romps with the cats without biting them, carries umbrellas and canes much larger than himself, and is never disobedient, except when he has indulged in too much beer. Even Family Secrets 1 The inquisitorial proceedings of in­ come-tax collectors in Austria are a source of great annoyance to selfrre- specting citizens. They pry into every family secret, however delicate. But now they do even more than that. They attempt to check the income of a man by finding out what is sent him by rail. The inspector of taxes at Myslenice, in order to give the screw another turn, has applied to the rail­ way managers for permission to send an official to Makow station for a cer­ tain time in order to examine all par­ cels sent there or thence,-and find out to whom or from whom they have been sent. Of course the purpose of such a demand is clear. Proof is re­ quired that certain persons spend more, and theriefore have a greater in­ come than they have declared, thus ignoring the fact that a man may pos­ sibly live beyon/i his Income. At the same time it must be confessed that there is a great difficulty in getting people to give truthful declarations. More Laughter, Lfii Snlclde. The physiological benefits of laugh­ ter can not be overestimated. It shakes up the diaphragm, sets the pulses beating to a lively measure, stimulates the blood corpuscles, en­ livens the brain, and sometimes pro­ duces dislocation of the jaw when in­ dulged in too heartily by a man with a large mouth. Used with discretion laughter is as inspiring as a sea breeze, as refreshing as an August shower. Its moral effect is beyond computation. It has killed moio ridic­ ulous superstitions by its rollicking roars of unbelief than any Other agency, says the Literary Era., What can be more derisive than a laugh? The man who laughs never kills him­ self. That is the reason so few Irish« men commit suicide. Orlirtn of m Celebrated Jest. When Mr. Evarts, who was my near relative and a man with whom I could take a liberty, came into the Senate, I said to him that we should have to amend the rules so that a motion to adjourn would be in order in the mid­ dle of a sentence, to which he replied that he knew of nobody in this country who objected to long sentences except the criminal clasBes.--Senator Hoar in Scribner's. Gardeners mind their peas anc Chinamen mind their queues. Tb'« Absence of It. If there is any tiyith in the saying that happiness is the absence of all pain, mental and physical, the enjoy­ ment of it can only be found in hea­ ven. But so far as the physical is con­ cerned, it Is within easy reach; at least measurably so, as far as cure will go. The sum of human misery in this line is made up of greater or less de­ grees of physical suffering. The minor aches and pains which afflict mankind are easy to reach and as easily cured. There are no"i\e in the whole category, which, if taken in time, cannot be cured. They must in some form af­ flict the nerves, the bones, the muscles and joints of the human body. They are all more or less hurtful and waste­ ful to the system. St. Jacob's' Oil is made to cure them, to search out hid­ den pain spots, and to cure promptly in a true remedial and lasting way. Very, very many have not known hap­ piness for ye&rs till they used it, and very many are putting off cure and happiness because they don't use-it. A City of Apartment Homes. The building operations on Monfcat- tan Island show that New York City more and more runs to hdtels, restau­ rants and apartment houses, and this goes to show the marked decline of home life, in the old acceptance of the term. Folks pf morest incomes who desire to maintain the old conditions are driven to the suburbs of the great city or to its ou'lytng parts. Unless one be possessed of great fortune, to live near the heart of the city means much sacrifice of privacy as residence in hotels and apartment houses in­ volves. The roomers and transients give abundant business to the mul­ tiplying restaurants. Thus New York tends to become a city apartment and tenement houses, the well-to-do in the former and the poor in the latter. Un­ der the pressure of these conditions the science of building apartment houses of the first-class has made great advances, by which the largest amount of luxury is aimed at with the least expenditure of space. Apartments of the best sort command yearly rents that would buy a fine house in the lesser cites. The increase in apart­ ment house building this year is the notable feature of the real estate de­ velopment--Springfield Republican. Too Particular. A business man who had eaten a meal at a restaurant where he fre­ quently took his midday luncheon, walked up to the cashier and said: "I find I haven't a cent of change about me today. If you will kindly let me owe for this until I come in agait^ which will certainly be in a day or two, I will square up then." The cftstiier was not a good judge of human na­ ture, or was under the influence of a momentary irritation, for she replied: "We don't ruu any accounts at this shpp. If you haven't anything to pay with you can leave something with us as security." "I didn't say I hadnt any money," the customer rejoined. "I said I had no change. Plesase take the amount of my check out of this." And he took a $50 bill out of his pocketbook and handed .it to the ac- tonished cashier. v "It will be better to pay it now per­ haps," he added, "than to leave some­ thing as security, for you will not be likely to see me here again." v Then picking up hi! change which comprised about all the money the cashier could find in the establishment, he bowed and walked out. Thrice Wedded and Divorced. For the third time Mrs. Bernicia V. Eckel has .been divorced from the same man, at St. Louis, Mo. She was married three times to Joseph E. Eckel. A few days ago, in the East St. Louis City Court, she was granted a divorce from him the third time. About twelve years ago Mr. Eckel came to Eiast St. Louis. He was a newspa­ per man and a lawyer. He became ac­ quainted with Mrs. Bernicia V. Win- ton, the widow of former Mayor Win- ton of East St. Louis. They were married. They did not get along well together and before long she obtained a divorce. Then followed reconcilia­ tion, divorce, reconciliation and an­ other legal separation. A DISTINGUISHED MISSIONARY. Washington, lnd., Sept. 23d.--There is at' present, livin^at 106 East 15th street in this city? a most remarkable man. He Is Rev. C. H. Thompson, and he came to Washington from Little York, lad., a short time ago. Rev. Mr. Thompson spent many years of his long and useful life as a missionary among the Indians of the est. The great • xposure r nd the drinking of so much bad water brought on Diabetes, and at Wagoner, Indian Territory, he w*3 struck down while preaching. Physicians, one of them a Chicago specialist, pronounced his case hope­ less Dodd's Kidney Pills were recom­ mended, and as a last resort he tried them. He was completely cured, and restored to good healJi and his case and its cure has caused a sensation among the phvaician*. Water PreMnrc and Tempera tare. The pressure of water at the aver­ age depth of the ocean--two miles-- is about equal to that pf 320 atmos­ pheres, that is to say, 4,800 pounds to the square inch. The temperature of the atmosphere cools, on an average, about one degree for every 300 feet that we ascend, or^arms at the same rate as we descend. The mean tem­ perature at the north pole is about 0, and at the equator between 80 and 90 degrees. We Can, therefore, get into a temperature one degree colder for every 70 or 80 miles that we travel north, or in a temperature one degree warmer for every 70 or 80 that we travel south. .

This gives an excess of 1,082,619 females, an excess which is partially attributable to the fact that men serving in the army, navy and the merchant service abroad are excluded from the reckoning. In 1891 the excess was 896,723. To each huudred males enumerated there were 106 9 females. The proportion of fe­ males has been steadily increasing at each census 6inqe 1851, having been successively 104.2, 105 3, 105.4, 106.4, and 106.9 to one hundred males. WISCONSIN FARM LANDS.

Vitlculturists in France have just tried experiments in feeding draught animals with bran mixed with wine, which se$m to be successful. It ap­ pears that poor wine can be used to re place oats as food, weight for weight-- a pound of wine for a pound of oats. At least half of the usual feed of grain can be replaced In this manner without "dTSMvantage to the animals. Barley, beans, bran and the like mixed with wine can be substituted for oats en­ tirely, if desired, it Is said. In years of abundant vintage ^ material saving can be effected in this way. Barber In Reckless Mood. : A jbroitwlch barber was just flnirt- ln£ lathering a customer and was talk­ ing volubly, as usual. "Yes, sir," he said, "there's no carelessness allowed by our employer. Every time we cut a customer's face we are fined six­ pence, and if we make an ugly gash it costs us a shilling." Then, picking up and brandishing his razor, he add­ ed; "But I don't care a.rap today. I've just won a sovereign."--London An­ swers. ' AGENT8 WANTED.-Murat Halstead'e greate* book.-"l.lfe of Wm.
