Cronk, of Parham have returned from their hunting trip at Windsor Creek Comp in the northern part of the county. They had no trouble in se- curing their number of deer, also an excellent specimen of a bear which at present is at Verona and has been viewed by many. The bear was shot by George Brown, who was setting the dogs and which routed it out of its den. Mr. Brown killed it with one shot, while it was going at a rapid pace. The party gives due 'credit to T A. Wagar for securing the largest deer, one of the finest specimens that came from the morth country. One "do" 1s better than a dozen promises.

But, the next mo- He spoke the secret word. And the rope uncoiled, whizzed, stood straight like a lamce at rest, and up he went hand over hand. He rea¢hed the window, climbed in, drew the rope after him. The house was deserted. He sped through empty rooms and corriders; came out on the roof and crossed it; leaped to a second roof and crossed that; a third; a fourth; until at last, slipping through a trap door, he found himself--for the first time in his un- hallowed existence--in a Mosque of Allah, up on the ceiling rafters. Inside, below him, a tall, gentle-ey- ed, green-turbaned Moslem priest was addressifig a small gathering of de- votees. "There is prayer to Allah in every- thing," he said, "in the buzzing of the insects, the scent of flowers, the low- ing of cattle, the sighing of the breeze. But there is no prayer to be compared to the prayer of a man's honest, plucky work. Such prayer means happiness. Honest, courageous, fearless work means the greatest happiness on earth!' A sentiment the opposite of Ahmed's philosophy of life. "You lie, O priest!" he shouted from the rafters; and he slid down and faced the Holy Man with impudent eyes and arrogant gestures. There was an angry growling, as of wild animals, among the devotees. Fists were raised to smash that blas- phemous mouth. But thé priest raised calm hands. He smiled upon Ahmed as he might upon a babbling child. "You are -- ah -- quite sure, my friend?" he asked with gentle irony. "You know, belike, a better prayer, a greater happiness than honest, cour- ageous work?" "I do!" replied Ahmed. For a fleeting moment he felt embarrassed beneath the other's steady gaze. The premonition crept over his soul. Something akin to awe, to fear, touched his spine with :lay-¢old hands, and he was ashamed of this feeling of fear; spoke the more arrogantly and loudly to hide this fear from himseM: "I have a different creed! What I want, I take! My re- ward is here, on earth! Paradise is a fool's dream, and Allah is nothing but a myth!" Again the angry worshippers surged toward him. Again the Holy Man held them back with a gesture of his lean hands. He called after Ahmed, who was about to leave the Mosque. "I shall be here, little brother," he said, "and waiting for you--in case you need my help--the help of my faith in God and the Prophet!" "J--need you?" mocked Ahmed. "Never, priest] Hayah! Can a frog catch cold?" And, with a ringing laugh, he was out of the Mosque. Ten minutes later, he reached the dwelling place which he shared with Hassan el-Toork, nicknamed Bird-of- Evil, his pal and partner. A snug, cosy, secret little dwelling it was, in the bottom of an abandoned well, and there he spread his loot before the other's delighted eyes. "I love you, my little butter-ball, my little sprig of sweet-< "ented sassa- fras!" mumbled Bird-of-Evil, caressing Ahmed's cheek with his clawlike old hands. "Never was theré as clever a thief as you! You could steal food from between my lips, and my belly would be none the wiser! Gold-Jewels --purses . . ." he toyed with the loot --"and this magic rope! Why, in the future there will be no wall too high for us, no roof too steep, and . . 2 he -slurred, interrupted himself as-- for the abandoned well was only a stone's throw from Bagdad"s outer gate--a loud voice called tothe war- den to open it: "Open wide the gates of Bagdad! We are porters bringing precious things for the adornment of the Pal- ace! For tomorrow suitors come to woo our royal Princess!" The Caliph in those days was Shirzad Kemal-ud-Dowlah, twelfth and greates of the glorious Ghaznavide dynasty. Lord he was froth Bagdad to Stambul, and from Mecca to Jerusalem. His pride was immense, and, beside his Arabic title of Caliph, he gloried in such splendid Turkish titles as: Imam. ul-Muslemin--Pontiff of all Moslems; Alem Penah--Refuge of the World; Hunkiar -- Man-Slayer; Ali-Osman Padishahi--King of the Descendants of Osman; Shahin Shahi Além--King of the Sovereigns of the Universe; Hudavendighar -- Attached to God; Shahin Shahi Movazem ve-Hillulhh -- High King of Kings and shadow of God upon Earth. Zobeid was his daughter, his only child, and heir to his great kingdom. As to Zobeid's beauty and charm and surpassing witchery, there have come down to us, through the grey, swinging centuries, a baker's dozen of reports. To believe them all one would have to conclude that, compar- ed to her, Helen of Troy for the sake of whose face a thousand ships were launched, was only an ugly duckling. We choose therefore, with full delibe- ration, the simplest and least florid of these contemporary accounts, ag con- tained in the letter of a certain Abu'l Hamel el-Andalusi, an Arab poet who, | visiting for reasons of his own a young Circassian slave girl in the Caliph's harem, happened to glance through a slit in the brocaded curtain which se- parated the slave's room from the ap- artment of the Princess, and saw her there. He wrote his impressions to a brother-poet in Damascus; wrote as follows: "Her face is as wondrous as the moon on the fourteenth day; her black locks are female cobras; her waist is the waist of the she-lion; her eyes are violéts drenched in dew; her mouth is like a crimson sword wound; her skin is like the sweetly scented champaka flower; her narrow feet are twin lilies." The letter continues with slight Ori- ental exaggeration that Zobeid was the Light of the writer's Soul of his Soul, the Breath of his Nos trils, and--than which there is no praise more ardent in the Arabic lan- guage--the Blood of his Liver; it men- | tions such rather personal items that the, Circassian slave gir] when she saw the desire eddy up in the poet's eyes, was for scratching them out on the spot; and comes down to earth again by saying: "Never in all the seven worlds of Allah's creation lived there a woman to touch the shadow of Zobeid's feet. Brother mine l--as a garment she is white and gold; as a season, the spring, as a flower, the Persian jasthine; as a speaker, the nightingale, as a perfume, musk blended with amber and sandal- wood; as a being, love incarnate . . ."
