"He is not far from the city, sire. Somewhere to the eastward, we think. Your journey back, if you make haste, will be safe." "I will return," cried the monarch, smiting his fists together; "and I will bring out an army and sweep this ter­ rible Scourge from off the face of the earth!" He bade Sadak go and make ready for the start, and then he turned to UMn. "You will be safe here, sweet one; and It will not be long before our hap­ piness shall be complete." His words of parting were tew, for he was much excited, and his volde trembled as he spoke. He turned back once after he had .reached the door, as though he would say something, but finally went away without giving the intended speech. From a window UUn watched the royal cavalcade until it had disappeared within the narrow pass, and when the last man had gone from her sight she turned to her com­ panion. "Albia, what is it about this tenible robber--this Scourge of Damascus? I have heard something about him. I heard my father once speak of him; ittt my little knowledge of the world did not lead me to be inquisitive. Do you know anything about him?" "I' have heard a great deal of him, mr lady. He has been a terror to Da­ mascus for a great many years. "How many years, Albia? I was thin king that my father said he had ,uate con- means, al­ to be quite itself. The f under the SWmi.ixi tikis section." bf mistaken." said Albia, to redraw! herself. "I know iift la a terrible Scourge, and that liiiii ifear him; bat I do not know how many years he has been so. It may not be so many as I thought." "Bwf. who is he? Where did he come **Ahi there Is a* mystery, my dear mlftjress. Nobody knows where he caaN from; but it is said that he is one whose family has suffered some great calamity at the hands of Honfin. He is alone in the world, so far as rela­ tives are concerned, and Horam hath done It; and so he comes to seik ven­ geance. He has a large body of bold men under him, and twice has he met and overcome the forces which the king had sent out to capture him. He does not rob as common robbers do. He never troubles the poor, or those of the middle class; but the rulers and princes of Damascus he causes to suf­ fer." "Did you ever-see him, Albia?" "Mercy! no. I would not see him for tiie world. He must be terrible to look upon. I have heard one of your father's officers say that he could strike a blow with his fist to fell an ox. and that before the lightning of his eye brave men shrank in terror. 0, I should be afraid to see him." "It'seems to me that I should like to see such a man," said Ulin, in a musing tone. "I have never seen such men. The jnan whose arm can strike down an ox,, and whose eye flashes forth such power, could not harm a "helpless maiden." "Upon my life, yt>u have a curious tasie," Albia returned. "Because," added Ulin, with a smile, "I never had my taste cultivated. Still, in all seriousness, it does seem to me that I should love to lean upon a strong, bold man. If I were to love a man with my whole heart, I should like him to be so strong and so power­ ful and so brave, that his very pres­ ence would be protection, to me. Is that very strange?" s "It1 is so strange," replied the slave, significantly, "that I fancy the king would feel new cause for Jealousy If he should hear you say so." "When I am the king's wife I shall be true to him, and I shall honor and respect him. I will love him If I can. But, Albia, there is no need of saying more. We will have our dinner, and then we will walk out into the gar­ den." Suddenly a messenger appears ask? lng for assistance from the guard. With 50 stalwart guards he hurries to­ ward the gates. "What can it be?" cried the prin­ cess, in alarfn. But Albia could not imagine She could only beg of her mistress roHake courage, and hope for no evil. Ere long, however, another messen­ ger came to the palace, who made his way to the room where the princess was sitting. He trembled with ex­ citement. "How now, Aswad?" demanded Ulin. "What is the meaning of all this dis­ turbance?" "Alas, my lady, an enemy is at our gates. The terrible Scourge of Damas­ cus demands entrance into the valley." "What does he seek?" "I dare not tell you?" "What seeks he?" cried the princess, authoritatively. "If there is danger, I would know what it is." "There may not be danger for you, lady. We may beat the robber off. We will do so if we can." "But the king told me that a hand­ ful of determined men could hold that pass against a thousand." "But these are not ordinary men. This Julian is a very demon, an^ I verily believe that he hath more than human power. Still we will do the best that we can." "You have not told me what he seeks. Answer me that question--an­ swer it without further hesitation." "He seeks the maiden whom the king is to take for a wife." "Seeks me?" uttered the princess, with a start. "Yes, my lady. Such is his avowal." "In mercy's name, good Aswad, pro­ tect me. L«t not that dreadful robber gain access to the valley." "Hurry, hurry!" cried Albia. "Away to your companions, and bid them strain every nerve. If they suffer the Scourge of Damascus to gain passage hither they know what the wrath of the king must be." "Powers of heaven!" cried Ulin with clasped hands and quivering frame "the demon must not find us.' "You are not so anxious to see him as you were" remarked Albia. "I thought your whim was a strange one." "Speak not of that" said Ulin quick­ ly and severely. "I meant not that I would have him come to seek me. O Albia, what can he want?" "Indeed, my mistress. I dare not think. But let us look in another direc­ tion. If he does not find us, we care not why he comes. Ha! See! Here comes Aswad again. He looks fright­ ened." . Aswad entered the chamber with trembling step and seemed afraid to speak; but the demand of the princess opened his lips. "Lady, I fear that the robber will prevail against us. He Is accompanied by fierce, furious men, who fight like lions,and his own sword is irresistible. His body is covered with scales of fin­ est steel and the blows of our men fall harmless upon him." "But the dreadful man has not yet broken through?" said .Ulin eagerly. "No, lady. Our brave men fight as well as they can." "Has the robber entered the "Not far." "Then you may hold him at bay yet. O, Aswad, if you would be blessed for- evermors let not the Scourge gain the valley!* "We will do our best, lady; but you must be prepared for the worst. If we are finally overcome you must hide yourself." "Where? Where can we hide?"ask- ed Albia. " "In the palace or somewhere In the gardens; or upon the mountains." I dare-not hope otheririae," return­ ed Albia. ' V "If they do come, we must AMI •ome place In which to hide." "Alas, my dear ariftrwm, there is no auch place. If we go, up among the rocks, we not only run the risk of be­ ing eaaily found, bat we run the greater risk of starring." '1 would rather atarre than fall into the dreai Julian's hands." said Ulin. "It would be a terrible death to starve npon thoae bleak rocks!" re­ turned Albia, with a shudder. "But I will share your file, my mistress, let itbewtatitmi." "Awl would not death by starvation be preferable to the fate which must meet us if that monster captures us? O, Albia, I cannot think of it!" Before the slave could reply they saw Aswad again coming toward them; but he did not enter tie palace. He struck off into & path that led to the westward, and fled with all his might. Directly afterwards a score of tha guards came rushing from the pass, and when they had gained the open space, they threw down their swords and sank upon their kneea. "What means that?" tried Ulin. "Are they killed?" * "No," answered Albia. "They are overcome, and have surrendered. See! there come the victors!" . » "Let us flee!" exclaimed the prin­ cess, starting to her feet. "O, we must find some place of refuge!" Albia was more thoughtful. She saw very plainly that flight would be useless. "My dear mistress." she said, taking Ulin's hand. "We must hope for the best. It we leave the palace, we shall be overtaken at once; for the way to the mountains lies only through the park of fountains. If we flee to the garden In the rear, we shall be surely found, and It may be worse for us la the Mid. If this dreadful Julian has the least spark of humanity in his bosom, he will respect you more in your own chamber than he would if he found you hiding in the garden." "Spirits of mercy defend us!" ejacu­ lated the princess, clasping her hands upon her"tRSS5m, and sinking back in "O, Albia, Albia, the prea- nce of the king would now be a bles­ sing!" The faithful slave crept close to her mistress, and Med to apeak words of comfort; but her own fears were too deep and intense to permit comfort­ ing power to her words. She could not be calm in view of the coming of that dreadful man, at the sound of whose name even the monarchs tre­ bled. v. (To be continued.) a Mwrawmr U *fcat «• May tfflBlt His PWliieiJ Ct*»-- to Bbw Considerable public internet waa re­ cently aroused by the action of Go*. Shaw, of Iowa, in paroling a mur­ derer, 8. R. Dawson, who claims to have discovered the long lost secret of making Daauaeas steel and' also the process by wfci& copper out h# hard­ ened and t«iiiia<M. It waŝ to jprivent the kaofrled** Of Mils secret town be­ ing lost the worid that induced the ac­ tion of the Iowa executive. *'ive years ago, when Dawson was sent to the penitentiary foi* murder, he was just about to exploit the secrets he had discovered, and a company with ample capital had been formed for that purpose. He was then 41 years old. The men associated with him in the company that had been formed be­ sought him to divulge the secret of his process, but he refused to tell a soul anything about his discovery. The formula, however, he deposited in the safety vault of the Des Moines Na­ tional Bank. To that vault there are three keys--one held by Dawson, one by the officers of the bank and the thl^d by the officers of the Damascus Steel Company. It required all three keys to open the vault and it is due to this that Dawson is now a free man. The work of manufacture is to be be­ gun as soon as possible by the com­ pany which was organized before Daw­ son went to prison. Mr. Dawson has devoted his entire life to the study of metallurgy. His taste for the science comes naturally. His ancestors for generations back have been engaged in the Iron busi­ ness, and one of them, Ralph Hogg, made, in the fifteenth century, the first Iron cannon that England ever saw. Mr. Dawson was sent to the peniten­ tiary for the murder of his son-in-law, Walter Scott. Scott had become in­ fatuated with Dawson's daughter, Clara, and had been paying attention to her about a year and a hall before the murder. At first there were no objections on the part of the girl's parents, but later they became opposed to the young man's attentions and or­ dered him from the house several times. Then'clandestine meetings be­ gan between the young couple. Mr. Few, ceptton of though we are familiar with thf| other day I found razor of a barber, who was a stranger to me. He began conversation by re­ marking that I had a sti# beard. Tak­ ing this as an apologetic hint that I was to be badly scraped X replied that some barbers did not thUdE so, as they generally shaved me without much trouble. "Well," said the barber, "I ought to know, for 1 have shaved mil­ lions of men." "Thousands, you mean," said I. "No, millions." said he;"I am sure I have shaved more than a million." I inquired his age, which was 81 year; learned that he could shave four persons In a hour, and then took home to my children a little sum in arithmetic, which they worked out in this way: If a barber Should shave four men per hour, ten hours a day, for 365 days a year dur­ ing sixteen years, the number shaved would be. 233,600. It would take him nearly seventy years to shave 1,000,000 persons. If he should shave continu­ ously night and day for sixteen years he would get over less than half a mil­ lion faces. It is not at all likely that our 31-year-old barber had shaved al­ together more than 100,000, and un­ less tie moved around a great deal these probably did not include more than 5,000 individuals.--Philadelphia Ledger. H*a •••Mpal Dat^ 8he stood at the corner of Clark and Madison streets, anxiously watching the passing procession of cars, says the Chicago Journal. Now she would dart to the middle- of the street, and then quickly back to the shelter of the edge of the pavement. Then she ^would make another spasmodic sprint toward the other side, but nervously retrace her steps, wringing her hands the( while. Finally a big policeman who had beeji watching her closely stepped quickly forward and was by her side. Catching her by the most convenient arm, lifting her bodily from the sidewalk, he rushed her across the street, dodging cars and wagons, and finally landed her sale on the other aide. Then it was she turned an Indignant face and flashing eyes upon her protector. Then she smiled and said sweetly: "Would you mind taking me back again? I wanted to catch a West Madison street car." A few minuates after a big policeman wandered down Clark street, kicking himself. Drtti la the Haiti It is#not always safe to Judge a man by his clothes, but dress goes a king way in certain localities. If any one doubts our democracy let him spend a day in the gallery of the United States Senate, the least dignified "Upper House" of legislation in the world. "Befo' de wah" all members were clean shaven, wore black frocks and high stocks, beavers, peg-top trousers, and a solemn air of public importance privately expressed. They believed in their hearts that they were statesmen, and the world acknowledged them &a such. Dignity was their chief quality, pride their most cherished possession. The old-timers, like Morgan, Teller. Cockrell, Berry, Proctor and Daniel, still wear their before-the-war clothes, dignity and pride, but the post-bel­ lum regiment of politicians Is uni­ formed in the sack suit or the cuta­ way.--New York Press. • -'"Hi; ft. DAWSON. Dawson learned of these meetings, and to prevent them took his daughter away traveling, but was followed from place to place by Scott. Finally Daw­ son and his daughter returned to Des Moines, but strangely enough, the girl then refused to marry Scott. One week later they were married clan­ destinely, and upon going to the house of her parents for her belongings was shot by Mr. Dawson. That Pawson has discovered the secret of making Damascus tteel Is not doubted. A few years ago he erected a blast furnace In Chicago for experi­ ments. He allowed several intited friends to see all but one portion of the process. When the time came for mixing the secret Ingredient with the melted metal he banished every one. The finished product he turned out was harder than ordinary steel, more pliant, susceptible „of a keener edge. He made some beautiful knife blades tnat would bend almost double, and also a heavy sabre. He fashioned a cold chisel and tested it beside or­ dinary chisels on steel girders. The Dawson, chisel went through the gir­ der in much less time than ordinary chisels. The workmen had to change tools often in order to get good edges, but when Dawson had finished the edge on his chisel it seemea as good WMklaKtMi DHlfaM for Lawmakers. According to the New York Herald Washington is the only modern capi­ tal (except St. Petersburg), that was originally designed and laid out as a capital city. Likewise, the federal capitol has the unique honor of being the first building in history erected simply to hold a legislature. The Ro­ man Senate met in a temple, as did all ancient deliberative bodies. Med­ ieval legislatures were convened in palace halls or in monastic or semi- religious establishments. Even the state houses of our colonies were de­ signed to shelter the entire govern­ ment--legislative, executive and judi­ cial. But the capitol at Washington was planned to hold the lawmakers of the nation and for no other pur­ pose. Ik* West Poiat of Mexico. In Mexico experience has conclusive­ ly shown that officers and even sol­ diers cannot be improvised, and the very first care of General Diaz has been to establish a good school for in­ structing scientific officers.

These investigations, it is hoped, will furnish valuable statistics and will open the way to learning the best possible method for checking the spread of the loathsome disease. They have awakened the interest of hun- drds Of physicians In every State, especially In Louisiana and some west­ ern States, where the disease has spread rapidly In recent years. The results of the investigations have so far revealed that there are six cases In New York, six In Chicago and nearly 100 in New Orleans. Most of the persons reported to be suffering from leprosy were born in foreign coun­ tries. In the southern States the ma­ jority of the victims are Italians, and In the western States Swedes. It is estimated that there are 1,000 lepers In the United States, exclusive, of course, of the Hawaiian victims. " * t~"~ --;-- • Mm ChliiaiM CateblB* On.
