They had brought immense quantitles of 'drugs, pills, in- struments, bandages, and scientific tomes. Arrived in Bagdad, they had examimed Zobeid. Then, promptly, as is the habit of scientific gentlemen and mild, tolerant scholars the world over, they had disagreed with each other-- some even with themselves--on every single, solitary point. They had argu- ed and counter-argued, by inference and comparison, by revelation and tra. dition, by theories physical and meta- physical, analytical and systhetical, philosophical and biological, ratioral and inspirational. Some, being gnos- tics, had seen in every experiment a hundred things which they did not see Others, being agnostics, had refused to see what they did see. They had wound up by calling each other bad names: "Fool!" "1 iar id #"Charlatan!™ #Unscientific jackass!" "Medicaster!" "Humbug!" "Quacksalver{® #"Sophist!" "Dunce!" "Unprincipled scoundrel |" The insults had been as thick as pea- soup. The German doctor had pulled the Frenchman's nose, and the latter had retaliated by drawing his rapier and painfully pinking the other in his gen- erous stomach; and the Franciscan Padre had cursed Moses Maimonides by candle and book, while the Jew had repaid the compliment with black and cryptic curses from the Talmud and the Kabala. All this had not been of the slightest help to the poor little Princess; and even now the people in the Caliph's palace were making ready for the last solemn rites--with the slave women wailing and beating their breasts; the death gongs sobbing like lost souls astray on the outer rim of Creation and the reed pipes shrieking their shrill, dismall Iplalillitiilillr rahtidoraht shrill, dismal plaint; with white-robed, green-turbaned Moslem priests chant- ing the liturgy; and with the smoke from a hundred ceremaial fires moun- ting to the sky in thick streamers and hanging in ruddy, bloodshot clouds above the palace and telling to all Ara- bistan that one of the dynasty of Bag- knew; and there was hidden laughter in the words with which he turned to the Prince of Persia: "And so, Great Shah-in-Shah, you imagine that #4his flying rug of youfs "Imagine? By Allah and by Allah--I know it!" replied the other. He asked his servants to spread out the carpet. Kingston Markets | ' Friday, Dec. 19.

"To travell To see all the glorious, wotidrous sights! Frag- rant fields! Golden ribbons of rivers] Elegant pagodas! Mountains bee- black and lapis-blue! To travel--as I shall=side by sidé¢ with the loved one; the darling, the apple of my eyes; fy] bride! Ah!"--addressing the Prince of India--'"am I not right?" "Quite right--in a way," admitted the Indian, who, sure of his. own suc- cess," could afford to be generous. "Traveling is a wonderful thing. My divine ancestors agree with you." And, quoting from the words of Indra, the god of air: ""Indra is the friend of him who travels. Travel! " 'For a traveler's legs are like branches in flower, and he who travels grows like the tree and gathers his own ffuit. All his wrongs vanish, des- troyed by the exertion on the roadside. Travel! " 'The fortune of a man who sits, sits "also; it rises when he rises; it sleeps when he sleeps; it moves well when he moves. Travel| " 'A man who sleeps is like the Iron Age. A man who awakes is like the Bronze Age. A man who rises is like the Silver Age. A man who travels is like the Golden Age. Travel! " 'Look at the happiness of the sun who, traveling, never tires. Indra is the friend of him who travels. Travel!' " "Yes," continued the Indian. "To travel is delightful, and your flying rug is charming. Only"--he paused, smiled--""you were mistaken about your travel companion, your bride." "Mistaken?" echoed the Persian. "Yes. For--I suppose--you refer- red to Zobeid?" "Of course!" "] am sorry," went on the Prince of India. "But she cannot go with youl" "And why not, pray? "Because she is going with me!" "Oh," demanded the Pégsian, sar- donically, "is that so?" "It is!" 'The Hindu held up the ma- gic crystal. "For this--this globe which I hold in my hand--is the grea- test rarity on earth! Here you can read and see whatever, wherever any- thing is happening to anybody! A gift from Doorga herself--Doorga-- that delightful, divine, six-armed rela- tion of mine! Consider the marvel of it!

A necessity for every married couple since, once and for it not only ban- ishes every possibility of boredom, but permits the husband to see what his wife is doing when she is away--and vice versa!"
