I bathed his bruised head, and bound up his WOunds, while you brought the cor­ dial which my mother provided." „ "So it was, my lady. I have seen the slave since--have seen him several times--he has brought messages to your father--and I know that his grat­ itude is strong. If Osmir has any powtf- to open the prison door, and I can find him, there may be some hope." "But can you find him?" asked the princess. She spoke eagerly, and no longer sought to conceal the real cause her anxiety. "'I can try-" returned the attendant; "|ptid even here we haVe a fortunate h«p. Shubal. who has been so long your servant, is a near friend to Os­ mir. I will take Shubal with me, and Ilttot leave at once?' "Yes, Albia. Go at once. Be careful, for all may depend on the secrecy of your movements. "I have entered upon tUs matter, and I Will now give all my energies to its consummation. Go --and bring me answer as quickly as you can.*' The bondmaiden left the apartment, ufci when Ulin was once more alone, •he started to her feet, and moved to the window. The flush Was back upon her cheek, and the sparkle was in her •ye. Her pure blood was circulating with'new power, as, for the time, she forgot the king in the memory of the youthful chieftain. In less than an hour Albia returned, and the beam upon her face told very plainly that she had not been entirely disappointed. "My good mistress," she said, "Shu­ bal has served us well. I found him Wfthout difficulty, and he at once went alone in search of Osmir. He found him at the royal palace, and has li«>ught him hither." "Brought Osmir?" • *Yes." "And what does he say?" "I have not spoken to him of Julian. 1 thought you had better do that. You may have more influence." "Very well--bring him up at once. I will shrink from nothing now." 1 "In a little while the tall, dark form glided within the chamber of the princess. He bowed low- as he en­ tered, and when he saw the lady Ulin, he sank down upon his knee. "Noble lady," he said, "Albia in­ formed me that I can be of service to you. Once you served me, and my life has been yours ever since. Command me." At first Ulin had been startled by the appearance of the powerful black within her chamber; but when she re­ membered the service she had done him, and when she saw how gently the beams of gratitude fell upon her front his brown eyes, she regained her confidence. "I will not command you, Osmir; I caa "Snly ask you to assist me. You may be able to serve me, and you may not be able. But I will not detain you *ith useless words. You do not yet know what I seek?" •4,I do not, lady." "You helped to bring MM fObber cbieftain to Damascus." "Ha--who told you thai£" He was not startled with fear; but he rather seemed to wonder how the priacfess had gained the information. "Do you know a man named Ho- vpfcftdan?" "Yes, lady. He is second in command of the robber band." 0 "He has been here, Osmir, and he has induced me to use my influence towards gaining freedom for his chief­ tain. I mlay not explain to you, but nevertheless I am willing to confess that I do much desire to free this Julian from the power of the king. Can you help me?" & ^ He bowed his head, and pretty soor\ arose to his feet. ' "Lady," he said, "I did help in the capture of the young chieftain; b'ut when I came to know him I would rather have B*-ved him had it been in my power. I found him a generous, honorable man and I learned to love him; but I was bound by an oath to the will of J-udah, and I could not dis­ obey. I wish I could save him now." "Can you do it, Osmir? I do not wish that the king should kill him We thought you might have access to his dungeon--that you might, at some time, be S8t to guard him," "So it is, lady; but I am not to be on the guard again until daylight." "And to-morrow may be the last!" uttered the princess, painfully. "If you cannot help us our hope has an end." Osmir moved back apd leaned again sfsfhe wall, with his head upon his hand/ "Lady, • he . said, after much thought, "I have one p-iurce of hop?. My companion, Selim--he who was with me in the work of capture-- stands watch over the chieftain's dun­ geon at midnight. Selim may help me. If he will, Julian may be saved. I will hasten away at once, and exerf this only influence I possess." And when can I know the result?" asked Ulin. "Within two hours past midnight," said Osmir. "That is," he added, "if I have any result to bring, if 1 dp not succeed. I may not return at all " "At two houis past midnight," pur­ sued Ulin, "Hobaddan is to be in my garden You c.-.n meet him there." "Yes," returned the guard, after a moment's reflection, "if I succeed. I shall not fear to meet the lieutenant. If I sfm not in the garden at the time appointed, or very near that time, you may know that I; have done all that lay in my power. Have you more to say V" "No, good Osmir. Go to tlM Work, and do the best you can." He spoke a simple word of promise, and then turned from the apartment, Albia conducting him down, and guid­ ing him out by a small door in the garden wall. " he said, a»v^«ta»d be- ihe low arch--and his tone showed that he did not speak lightly-- "your mistress does not dream of the danger I must undergo in this work; but I will be true to my promise, I will do all I can. If Selim will not join me, there is the end; but if te falls in with me, then we both put our lives at stake, and the prize may b« won. I hope we shall succeed." The bondmaiden watched ChSj re^ treating form until it was lpst In th' darkness, and then sh^closedXtJi' gate, and turned her .steps back towards the house. CHAPTER X. * • hL the Dungeon. , ,The robberihieitain had been placed in one of tire most gloomy dungeons beneath the royal palace, his legs and arms loaded with chains, and his feet shackled to a bolt iu the floor. How W» may find the man we seek. ShaTr ~J5ng he had 5een ^ere he could not tell. Night , and day were the same in the living tomb. Pood and drink had been brought to him thrice, and a masked mute had been in to remove the tray. He had but one hope of es­ cape, and even that was so feeble that it would not bear the entertainment. He thought if his followers should dis­ cover where he was, they might pos­ sibly dare to attempt his release; but when he came to weigh all the cir­ cumstances, he dared not think they would do it. In short, Julian had made up his mind that death was very near to him. And what had he to live for? What, but revenge upon the King of Damas- mui? He had no parents--no rela­ tives--nothing on earth of his own blood which he could claim. There might be living in the city some hu­ man being of his kin; but he did not know of such. He loved his brave fellows; but they could do without him. They were bold, stout men, and could look for themselves. What else was there? There were some poor families in the mountains--some friends upon the plain--and a few de­ pendent one? near the river; but Ho­ baddan would care for them. What else was there? , The youthful chieftain bowed his head, and pressed his heavily laden hands upon his heart. There was one more--one whom he had hoped to see again in the coming time--one who had left an impression in hiB soul which had warmed and quickened his whole being. But why think of her? What could the beautiful daughter of Aboul Cassem be to him? In a few 6hort days she would be the wife of his bitterest enemy- Thus mused the prisoner, standing erect, with his manacled hands fold­ ed upon his bosom, when he was aroused from his reflections by the sound of creaking bolts, and in a few moments more the door of his dun­ geon was opened, and the rays of a lamp penetrated the place. Two men entered, closing the door after them; but tfte eyes of the chieftain were not yet1 used enough to the light to dis­ tinguish either their forms or features. Presently, however, as they addressed each other, he recognized the two blacks w4io had so fatally deceived him, and his first impulse was to raise hit heavy chains and smite them down; but they were not near enough to be thus reached. r:f. "Osmir--Selim," he you here?" "Yes, my master," replied Osmir; "Have you come to kill me?" < ' ' "No." "To bear me to the king?'*- "What, then? You have the watch over me?" "Yes," "And the king fears not to trust y°u?" • "You see he does trum. us.*4, "Aye--as I trustod"*you. 0, yWu are two ungrateful Plains. When you came to me in the forest, I believed your tale of woe, and took pity upon you; and I meant to be kind to you, and make your lot a pleasant one. I *t3wt*inly," he said, "if yon lead m in safety from the bonds that now en- compass me, I will give you such re­ turn as you may desire. You may re­ main with me, if you like, or I will give you safe conduct into the land of the Syrians." "Ybur word is enough, my master; and henceforth Selim and I are your servants. We change our allegiance, and the proof of our fidelity shall be manifest in this first act of our serv­ ice. We have dangers to meet, sir." "Talk hot of dangers," cried the chieftain. "Throw off these chains; j give me a sword; and lead me to the upper world; and,I ask no more.'Once again I trust you, and if you prove true, my gratitude shall be your while I liye?" Without further words Osmir pro­ ceeded to the work he had come to perform. Selim held the lantern, vnile he loosed the irons from Julian's limbs; and very soon the chieftain stepped forth witn his limbs free. "There is no time to waste," said Osmir, as he cast the chains upon the floor. We have good swords-at hand; and for the rest we must trust to our wit and- strength. There is danger enough between, this dungeon and the open air; but I am ready to meet it" "By the gods," cried Julian, as he grasped the sword which Osmir had placed in his hand. "I can laugh at danger now. Lead on, and let this present hour be the last of Horam's power!" (To be Continued.) HARPOONING BLUE WHALES. Mm H*rpoon Gun I* a Creel Instrument • of Destruction. To pursue the blue whale success­ fully is, according to an interesting article in Pearson's Magazine, a com­ plicated undertaking. For instance, one of the ^requirements is a boat that can steam welve knots an hour, and which is furnished with a formidable weapon known as the harpoon-gun. The harpoon-gun is a ponderous piece of apparatus laced on a raised plat­ form on the prow of the whaler, and consists of a short, stout cannon, mounted on a broad pedestal, on which it can rotate horizontally. The gun has also a vertical motion, and can be turned quickfy in whatever direction the prow of -the ship dominates. On the top of the gun are "sights" for aiming, just as ip a rifle. Behind is the stock, which is grasped in the hand when firing the gun, and be­ neath it the trigger. The breech is a box-like arrangement, situated just where the stock is fastened to the gun proper. The gun is. loaded in the or­ dinary way from the muzzle, and the harpoon is tightly rammed into it. To discharge the gun, a small cartridge, with a wire attached, is first put into the breech. Pressure on the trigger causes a pull on the wire, which ignites the cartridge and discharges the gun simultaneously. The harpoon is about six feet in length and very massive. It consists essentially of tnr'ee parts, the anterior conical portion, the movable barbs, and the shaft. The anterior conical piece is an explosive shell filled with gunpowder, and screws on to the rest of the harpoon. The 'explosive shell is fired with a time-fuse after the harpoon is imbedded in the whale. Taken all in all the harpoon-gun is about the most exquisitely cruel in­ strument of destruction devised by the ingenuity "of man! Bub it is only when one sees and knows the prodigi­ ous brute it is meant to destroy, that one realizes that it is nevertheless none too effective. The gun is never discharged at a greater distance than fifty feet, and seldom indeed at more than thirty from the Whale. To be able to get BO near requires not only very fine seamanship but 'a very in­ timate knowledge of the habits of the animal.--Philadelphia Times. Home I<oulsville Flra Cats. "Bobs" and "Kit" are two coal black kittens which love excitement. They are about six months old and we;e born at the No. 4 hook and ladder house, says the wouisville Courier- Journal. Their mother had spent her whole life in the fire department, hav­ ing* lived at several of the engine houses and having moved from one to another whenever her owner was transferred.

There are few people so fortunate that at some period of their lives they do not droop under the clouds of trouble or misfortune. At some time grief is aMo8t» certain to come, an unwelcome guest. Sorrows and trou­ bles gather round us; causing our hearts almost to break beneath their weight. It is in those dark hours that the heart needs the comfort and .kind­ ness of a sympathizing friend. We are so constituted that, to a great degree, our happiness is dependent upon others. The heart is formed for friendships, and ° we need the smile and light glowing from the faces of others as much as the little flower needs the warmth of the sun or the cooling shower. Words of kindness fall upon the heart like the gentle dew. We know not, and may not know the good we might do in this world by simple deeds of kindness. They are worth more than silver or gold. How like angels of mercy we might become if we would be guided more by the law of kindness--kindness to all, especially to the poor and to those who have strayed from the paths of rectitude! Tt is kindness alone that will soften their hearts and win them back eventually to the- right way.-- New York Weekly. A FEARLESS PHYSICIAN. Benton. 111., Sept. 30th.--Much com­ ment has been caused by the action of Dr. R. H. Diinaway, a physician here, who for over a year past has been rec­ ommending Dodd's Kidney Pills to those of his parents who suffered from Rheumatism, Bright's Di.soa*e. Dia­ betes or other Kidney Trouble^ Dr. Dunaway also published an open letter last May stating positively that he himself had been cured of Diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and that, after he had concluded he was going to die He is a well man today and says he feels it his duty to do as he has done and is doing because Dodd's Kidney Pills saved his life. Kjr® Indicate* Character. Physiognomists rely greatly upon the expression and color of the eye in reading character. It is said that deep blue eyes indicate a mind disposed to coquetry, but still bespeak a heart capable of pure, unswerving, t.'dent love. Gray eyes signify dignity! intel­ ligence, and large reasoning powers. Greenish eyes belong to a nature in which will be found, in the majority of cases, jealously, falsehood, scandal and malice. Where the white is tinged with yellow and streaked with red­ dish veins, the eyes are the reflectors of passion and hasty temper. Restless eyes, that cannot look one steadily in the face, denote a scheming and a treacherous disposition. Quiet eyes sig­ nify solf-command, compia'cency, and a modicum of conceit. Black eyes tell you of slumbering passions and an active disposition, sometimes marred with a tinge of deceit. The brown eye Is a dear, sweet eye, loving and ten- oer, and as trusty as It is honest and faithful, Indicating a nature full of generosity, kindness and happiness,-- New York Weekly. that we are not without hearts, and about they have gone to almost every that we have some store of honesty. 1 fire.

They are not commissioned offi­ cers, but are classed as "contract den­ tal surgeons." They must be graduates of dental colleges, and undergo an ex­ amination and rigid tes^ as to their dual Ideation*. A surgeon under coo- tract signs a paper stipulating that he will serve the government for a cer­ tain period, and perform all the duties required of him. The period of service covers three years, and the dentists are given the relative rank of a first lieutenant, with pay amounting to $160 a month. At the expiration of their three years' service their ter« will be considered as having expired and they may leave the army if they desire, or re-sign their contract and perform fur­ ther service. When we went to your camp, we went in the service of another master, whom we were bound to serve. We had sworn that we would capture you if we could. But, sir, after we had saen you, and known you, we would have re­ canted had the thing been possible. We asked Judah to free us from the task, but he refused." "Why do you fcaB we tfcii «. alary, now?" V "That you may know the reason of our action." "You action speaks for itself. Look at these chains; and mark the fate to which I am doomed.*' "I- meant, not the action of the past, good master;. I alluded to action that was te come." "Action to come?" "Yes. Selim and I are here to speak of your release from this dungeon. Hold--let our words be few, for the time is short. We have promised that we would lead you forth from Horam's power if the thing were possible." "Promised whom?" asked Julian. The black hesitated. He knew not that he should use the name of the princess, so he finally answered: "Hobaddan Is in the city, and our promise has been sent to him. But-- there is something more. If we lead you from this place, we do so In the face of great danger. We have plan­ ned for that, and have free'.y staked our lives in the work. But, if we suc­ ceed, and you are free, we can never more return to Damascus. If we go with you from this dungeon, we mUst go with you from the city, and remain with you." * Julian believed that the black Was speaking truly and honestly. tens will make a run for the truck and climb to the top of it.

He was horrified to be an eye witnes; of the operation, the coils being put 0:1 a young girl of 12, who lay s.i,ieki.ig and firmly held to the ground whilj the rods were bent and hammered on.

It was a warm summer night and the hour was midnight. The scene was Madison Square park. New York. The policemen on the four sides of the rec­ tangle were getting dull with sleepi­ ness. So one oi them said afterward-- the one who tells to story. Suddenly into the stillness of the night a shrill cry projected itself: "Help! Help! Mur­ der! Murder! The cry appeared to come from within the square. And simultaneously the two policemen nearest at hand rushed into the park, the leather thongs on their nightsticks in place for striking. "They're killing me! Help! Help!" spurred them on. The policemen made a systematic search of the green areai, ending final­ ly in the center. "Well, where is it? ' asked one. "Give it up. 1 thought 'twa3 here," was the ^reply. "Keep away! Keep away! Don't come near me!" cried the shqll voice. Slowly and wari­ ly the pollcemeh made their way to a bench a little to the south of the center, which seemed to be the spot whence the voice came. And there they stood for a moment, wondering what it meant. Then from the branches of the maple overhead a wheedling voice said: "Polly wants, a cracker." The mystery was solved. It was somebody's parrot, escaped from Its cage, which had played this joke on two of New York's cleverest policemen. The bird remained In the park for a day or so, resisting all efforts to be captured, and then disappeared, having perhaps found its way back to its cage.-~ Youth's Companion. WISCONSIN FARM LANDS.

The Population of London. The population of London, according to the authoritative and careful calcu­ lations of Mr. Welton, published In the December (1900) issue of the Royal Statistical Society's Journal* amounted to only 1,060.000 In 1801. This figure had doubled itself by 1841; in 1891 the total reached 5,442,000, and by 1901 was probably G,250,000. The area included, it should be said, is not precisely that of the census returns, so that the fig­ ures, though based upon the census returns, differ considerably from them. But practically we may say that In the lapse of a century the inhabitants of London multiplied sixfold. This enormous population, greater than that of many European states of the sec­ ond class, is compressed within a space of about . 130,000 acres,-or, say, ...2QQ. square miles.

Ask your druggist The demand for electrical ventila­ tors in India is ahead of tbe supply. What Prof. Henry Thinks of the New Lands in North Wisconsin. Prof. \Y. E. Henry, dean of the college of agriculture. In an article on the dairy in­ dustry of northern Wisconsin,says: "After careful study of all the conditions prevail­ ing in northern Wisconsin, the writer Is flrmly impressed with .the belief that this will become one of the great dairy regions of America. First of all, there is that prime requisite for tine butter and ch3o:io, namely, an ample supply of pure cold wa­ ter everywhere accessible. Second, an abundance of wholesome stock foods. In summer time the cattle of northern Wis­ consin will find in Its pastures the finest of grasses and clovers (red and white clov­ ers flourish), and timothy and blue grass pastures are as prevalent and productive as anywhere further south." If you are interested, and want to learn more about this country, we suggest that you write to D. W. Casseday, land agent of the "Soo" Line, Minneapolis, and ask him to send printed matter. He will be glad to do so. YOUR TIME HAS COME To look up yonr old winter dretiei.
