Paris, Feb. 18.--Ewily Baraaby, a Cincinnati girl, has just anived here from Tabreez, Persia, after a most ex- tragordinary adventure. She was among a lot of beauties se- lected here two years ago, by the shah for various offices of bis court and sent ahead to Teheran under escort to await his pleasure. Emily then was a destitute student of music and hod applied to the re cruiting Persian minister idipon the ad- vice of a friend, alw an American, who had already an engage ment. Emily was duly presented to the shah who 'gave a short, unintelli- ile vider = his minister, and the iter to e was aged, She left Paris three Ry later with nine other girls, mostly Fremch, in charge of two old English shrews who have been long attached to the shah's household. She remained at Teheran four months before she saw the sovereign. Then the two American girls were un- expeiiaiiy summoned at midnight and asked if they could entertain the shah, who was troubled with sleeplessness. The potentiate was found in his bed surrounded by a crowd of atiehdants, emohg whom rds a physician, who Shoe English. * Emily's friend played ¢ piano, * while Emily sang and danced. The shab, at first languid, soon - becime intdrested. The next day Emily alone was sum- moned. Beidre being introduced she was dressed in oriental gauees by the same two English shrews, 'who com: plimentd here on the fact' that the shah had taken a great fancy 'to her. At the second interview the 'shah tried 10 express his fondness too warmly and Emily vigorously object ed. When she finally broke down and cried, the shah's anger was mellilied, and he ordered that she be taken to his apartment, after sending ber to considerate message, accompanied with vahiable presents. Thereafter she saw 'the shah almost daily, being bis favorite entertainer. She says she learned to like the shah well except when a tender fit seized am. Finally the shah grew ugly because of the girl's steadfast refusal to be come a member of the royal harem, and she, following the advice of a French physician, ran away froin the palace. She hid in Teheran three days, and then the physician's servant took her, disguised and veiled like an | oriental woman, Tabreez, where she lived secretly with kind French nuns. Four months ago Emily manied a French merchant, rich, handsome, and a Catholic convert. But the shah's emissaries finally locating her, she ecaped, finding the country unsafe. The young couple joined a Kussian caravan, reached the Black sea, and sailed from Batoum for Marseilles aboard a Greek vessel, which stopped at Trebizond. . There Emily's husband went ashore, saving he would take such » short stroll. He never returned and his wife does not know whether he was mur dered or had deserted her. Being afraid to risk herself alone in a strange city, she continued her voy age and finally reached Paris. She tells the correspondent for the Chronicle she has most of ber hus band's wealth--jewels, quite a. cargo of precious rings, and more than $1,000,000 in money. ye She left today for Berlin to some American relatives.
