intended the work. When we left Damascus we took a course sligbtlj' different from this: but on the way we met a poor traveler who informed us that he had been robbed. He did not tell us that the robbers were Arabs, und I fancied that they might be some of my own peop'e. Fearing this, I determined to follow them. Their course was a crooked one, and when I finally reached tin grove of datepalms, I had made up my mind to tearch no more. W were asleep in the grove, and Osmir awoke just as & party of horsemen were leaving the pring. He ran out and discovered that the strangers were Arabs, and that they had two females with them." The chieftain directed the slaves to diag the bodies of the dead Arabs together, and take from them the gold and jewels which had been taken from the princess, and then to cover them up in the sand; afer which he requested Hobaddan to examine his wound. It seemed to be but a slight puncture, just below the collar bone, upon the left side, and as it was bleeding but slightly, Julian concluded not to have it probed. A simple compress staunched the blood, and it was thought that there could be no danger. When the slaves had done their work, the chieftain approached our heroine, and asked her whither she wished to go. "I will see you safe to your journey's end." he said, "even though it be to the gates of Damascus." "I go not that way. sir." she replied. "I wish to find the cave of an old her mit named Ben Hadad Julian started as he heard this' but 1 be quickly recovered himself "Do you know that old man?" he ßsked. ".'o. sir I never saw him; but he was a friend to my mother and I think he will be a friend to me." "Ah do you go out from Damascus to find a friend?" "I pray you. sir, ask me no questions. If you know where Hen Iladad lives, and it would not trouble you too much. I freely accept your escort." "Noble lady. I not only know his place of abode, but my own course lies directly that way. If we start at once and meet with no further obstacle, we may reach it by the rising of another sun." "The sooner we start the better." said Ulin; "and I can ride a long time without resting." "We will ride as fast and as far as our horses are willing." added Julian, as he truned to prepare for the move. In a few minutes they were mounted, Ulin and Albia once more takln the horses that had brought them from Damascus: and when all was ready, the chieftain and his lieutenant led off. leaving Shubal to rile with the females, while Osmir and Sellm brought up the rear. A few hours past noon they stopped In a pleasant grove, where pure fresh water bubbled forth from a basin of white sand, and here they made a dinner of bread and fruit while the horses rested. Julian spoke with the princess and asked her how she bore the fatlsue Of the Journey: but his manner was free from any shade of familiarity, ßhe in turn asked concerning his

Robert Bonner's Son. The girl raucht the tiand of her mistress, and Lathed it with tears. "Krr-e!" she murmured. "Aye free to serve you now and evermore! Still, üVar lady, there is a holy satisfaction Late in the evening they reached the I bank of the Phaiphar, and once more ; stopped to rest. The cave of the her- j mit was only a few leagues distant, i and could be easily reached by midnight. I-'or himself the chieftain did i not tare, lie wished the pi'incc.-'S to J act her own pleasure. The cave of Ren Iladad was in a ! "And where is my where is Ezabel?" "She is also asleep, sir." "Then call them at once. But hold lead us into the cave first." The negro came out with his torch, and while Hobaddan stopped a fe. moments with the slaves to look after the horses, Julian led Ulin and Albia into the cave. It was a broad, high chamber in the solid rock, and the light of the torch revealed the fact that there must be other chambers beyond. In a little while a tall, broad-shouldered old man, with hair and beard as white as the breast of a swan, came forth from a distant passage, and almost at the same time an aged woman came from another direction. Julin quickly approached them, and spoke a few words in private and thei said, aloud: "These ladies, good father and mother, seek your aid and protection. Ask them no questions tonight, for they are worn and weary, and need repose. On the morrow they will tell you their story." He then approached the princess. The old woman, when she saw Albia's face, recognized her at once; and as she gazed upon the oeautiful features of the princess, the latter said: tures of .he princess, she said: "Good mother." replied UJin, "I shall tell you the whole truth and then you will know just how much protection we need." And thereupon she went on. and related all that had transpired to the present. She told how she had consented to be the wife of the king she ! told of tne death of her mother and J shC t0hl hW' in her ,,Prvt. the bg.u; to dread and fear the rrnin she had promised to marry. The woman took Ulin's hand, and pressed it warmly between her own. "Dear fluid." she sa' 1. with much emotion, for she had been deeply moved during the recital "you could not have told your story to one who could have better understood it. I not only sympalhize with you, but I will protect you, if need be, with all the power I possess; and I assure you that our good Bon Hadad will join me with all his heart. Ycu did right in fleeing from the wicked king. I know him well, lady; and I believe you have not only saved yourself from an unhappy fate, but you have saved Horani from committing more crime. Thus much we understand; and now. my dear ?"!in, if I may venture upon tho inquiry, what do you propose to do in the future?" "My thoughts in that direction have been vague and troublesome," replied the princess. She spoke frankly, for Ezabel had won her entire confidence. "I have reflected upon the subject, and my mind has found but one resting place. I must remain away from Damascus until the king is dead. I can think nothing more. Where I abide I care not, so long as I am safe from harm." The princess fell upon the woman's neck and biessed her; and after a little time sue became calm, and wiped the grateful tears from her face. Her next question was of Julian. Had he yet left the cave?" "No." replied Eael; "nor will he leave It at p rsenl! lie If wounded in the breast, and "

"Wounded !" repeated Ulin, catcKng suddenb' at the word, and turning pale. "Is it dangerous?" "No, not dangerous, lady; but he must have rest and nursing. It Is more serious than he at first thought; but if he is careful, there will be no danger." "Oh," cried the maiden, in a tone of relief, "I am glad it is not dangerous. If he had suffered on my account, the joy of my escape from Horani would have been sadly darkened." CHAPTER XVIII. Ezabel bowed her head, and pressed her hands upon her brow. There was certainly some cieep and sudden emotion moving within her, for her frame trembled, and incoherent whisperings fell from her lips. "Julian will not suffer." she said, when s'.io at length raised her head. "Ben Hidad hzs examined his wound, and it can be easily healed." "You have k-own Julian for some time." pursued Ulin, musingly. "Yes. I have known him from childhood, and my son has been his constant companion." "Your son?" "Ah perhaps you did not know that Hobaddan was my son." "I did nt." "Weli such is the fact. Hobaddan is my only child. He was a strong youth, with the stature of manhood. while yet Julian was an inf.int; and from those early years tho two have been always together. In the beginning Hobaddan was the guide and protector; but in later years, since Julian has reached the age and strength of maturity, my son has been content to call him master." Julian is much feared in Damascus," said Ulin. "The king fears him," returned Ezabel, quickly; "and he has occasion for fear; but no poor man fears him. However, I will not take it upon myseif to excuse Julian's faults. He may have sinned;. he may have pursued his revenge too far. Let those who have suffered what he has suffered condemn him if they can." "He has suffered much, good mother?" "More than I can tell, ray child." "He is of Damascus born?" 'Yes." "And perhaps of honored family?" "The blood which runs in his veins Is as pure and noble as pvt supported a human life. The king himself cannot boast a nobler origin; aye," continued Ezabel. with startling earnestness, "and even now, with the whole story of his life up to this present hour, stamped upon his brow, he is nobler, and better, and purer, than the lords of Damascus. He is a man, and his heart is true; and I love him for the generous, devoted love there is in his soul." (To be continued.)

INDIVIDUALITY OF A CHILD. Children Ierive Many Tr:itt from Tlielr Faraway Ancestry. Xo two children, even in the same household, are alike. Twins, born in the same hour, and externally bearing lineaments which possess such close resemblance that strangers do not know the little ones apart, are often very dissimilar in disposition and mental traits. Who can tell what peculiarities, derived from some faraway ancestor a little child has inherited? This wee maiden, unlike either parent, may be repeating in her temperament, her looks, and her ways a great-grandmother long since vanished from the earth. Each mother for each child needs to make a special study, and she need not be surprised to find herself so often baffled and at her wits' end to solve certain problems, and to manage in certain unlooked for contingencies. If she will take the trouble to keep a record of her children, setting down in a journal day by day the interesting incidents, the small happenings, and the conclusions at which she arrives, she may be able by-and-by to assist other puzzled mothers. Of one thing the mother may be very sure, and that is that time ts well spent which is devoted to tb intelligent understanding of what is c?aUy for her child's good. The little one whose life is ruled according to fixed hours, who Ir cared for wisely and nourished on the best food, who has plenty of sleep, plenty of fresh air. the right kind of clothing, IS kept trc? from excrt?ments and disturbances, and ensphered in an atmosphere of tender love, will thrive and grow, and show in every movement the happiness of his environment. Stati-tiral ltlunricrA. It is Relieved by many who ought to know bettei, and is taught by alarmists, that insanity, deafness, blindness and crime are rapidly increasing, and that we shall soon become a nation of directives and criminals. Census statistics are quoted in support of this prediction. There is no question thr all these things were Indicated on the face of the earlier census returns, and it is equ lly certain that as a matter of fact none of them is true. Insanity, deafness, blindness and criminality are not on the increase in our country. It is true that the reports up to 18S0 showed a much larger proportion of insane, deaf and blind among the population at each succeeding census. But why? Simply because we are able at each succeeding period to obtain a fuller enumeration of these clas es, and thus to make a closer approach to the actual facts. Half a century ago defective persons were kept at home and their deficiencies were scrupulously concealed from public view. In these later days they arc placed in .asylums and special schools, and consequently are enumerated and classified In a much larger proportion of cases. The census of 1890 shows a sma ler proportion of these defective clas-es than did the census of 1880, and no doubt represents the true situation. Ths Forum. ItulMtiicr t'neil r C'Mta.

THE MISSION OF MR. REDMOND. John E. Redmond, member of the British Parliament, has come to the United States, it is said, in quest of funds to defray the expenses of the Trish parliamentary party, who, under the British constitution, are not paid for their services to the empire. The American people have always been in hearty sympathy with Ireland's aspirations for home rule, and, although the feeling of prejudice against Great Britain that once prevailed has abated, there is still among all Americans a kindly feeling toward the land from which we have derived so much that is most valuable in our citizenship, and which was so long the victim of rank injustice at the hands of its stronger neighbor. But the Ireland of today is not the Ireland of forty or fifty years ago; if it were Mr. Redmond would be more likely to be now occupying a cell in Kilmainham than in first class American hotels. The time has probably gone by when the Irish In America could be induced to give up their money to promote 11lusionary schemes of revolution. There are heavy enough drains upon their liberality without contributing to the support of professional conspirators, who exploit the trusting patriotism of their countrymen for their own emolument. It is because Mr. Redmond is not the man of that class that he will receive a hearty welcome to the United States. Brooklyn Times. EDWARD'S SPECIAL GUARD. William Melville, a member of the famous Scotland Yard police detectives, has been made a special guard for King Kdward VII. He has under his supervision a squad known as the Royal Guard, all plain clothes men. WILLIAM MELVILLE. This guard consists of twenty-five of the best detectives in Great Britain. Minister Wu No Traitor. The Athenians ostracized Aristides because they got tired of hearing him called the Just, and were afraid that the general favor in which he was held was more than could be safely allowed to any citizen in a democracy, and now the Chinese want to recall Minister Wu, who iias done more for them than any other representative they ever had in a foreign capital, because they think that he is altogether too popular here. It is easy to laugh at the Athenians and the Chinese, but they are not alone in their folly. There are citizens of Brooklyn who hesitate to vote for Seth Low because they are tired of hearing about his civic virtues. Washington Post. Adrett at SO. Mrs. Anne Hartley Gilbert, the "grandma" of the stage, is still industriously pursuing her profession a the advanced age of SO. Mrs. Gilbert is with Annie Russell In "A Royal Family." She is frankly and delightfully old, but time has dealt gently with her and her powers of endurance are re markable. Her debut was made with the old school of actors, when she was a mere girl, and now as an old woman she play? in a modern company. She has outlived the manager who once called "grandma;" 3h- has outlived the associations of youth, but Mrs. Gilbert at heart is young, and perhaps that i? the secret of her success. Women In Neu York. The Women's Municipal league ot New York is actively engaged in raising funds to further the interests o! the fusion campaign against Tammany. They are distributing pamphlets showing how vice is being protected under Tammany inlc and it is for this purpose chiefly that they are raising a campaign fund. I a Dotvnger Duelie.

DR. GLADDEN S NEW ROLE. Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden, who has just been elected president of the American Missionary Association at its fifty-fifth annual meeting, is a distinguished American preacher, writer, author, lecturer and poet, whose books and words have entertained thousands REV. DR. GLADDEN, of cultured persons. Dr. Gladden's merits as a man of thought and of magnanimity may be gathered from the fact that the University of Notre Dame, a Roman Catholic school, has conferred upon him its honorary degree of doctor of laws. His books all treat Of live subjects and are written for popular reading. Such works as "Burning Questions," "Who Wrote the Bible?" "Things New and Old" and "Tools and the Man" are addressed to men and women who think for themselves. The new head of the American missionary movement has served for many years as a pastor in Columbus. Ohio, and he is probably the most actively working socialist in this country. BULLER'S SUCCESSOR. Major General John Denton Pinkstone French, who has been appointed to succeed General Sir Redvers Buller as commander of the First Army Corps is one of the comparatively young soldiers who have risen to high positions in the British military service He had fought in the Soudan and in the east previously to his appointment in 1899 to the command of the cavalry division in Natal. He is one of the two or three British generals who have fought the Boers with success. He was in command at Elandslaagte, at Reifontein and Lombard's Kop, and was the commander also of the operations around Colesburg and In the GEN. FRENCH, movements which culminated in the relief of Kimberley. He directed the cavalry troops in the campaign which ended in the capture of Bloemfontein and Pretoria, and was the officer in charge of lord Roberts' left wing in the battles east of Pretoria on June 10 and 12, 1900. In October last year he was placed at the head of the cavalry division in South ATrica. General French Is 49 years old, was born at Kent, England, and was educated for the navy, in which his faUier was an officer. A Long Power Arm. Two and a half years ago the longest electric power transmission line in this country and probably in the world was that running to Ixs Angeles, Cal.. from the San Bernardino mountains, eighty miles away. Now there ha3 been opened a line from the Upper Yuba river in the same state to Oakland, a distance of 140 miles, and at the present time, through a temporary connection to San Jose, power is actually being carried 181 miles. A double pole line has been built, and at the Straits of Carquinez the current Is carried on a suspended span 4,427 feet long, which, according to the Engineering News, is the "longest single span of cable ever erected." The power, too, is transmitted at the surprisingly high pressure of from 40,000 to. 60.000 volts, an achievement which the same authority regards as "an engineering precedent of great interest."

On the morning of April 12, 1SG2, Capt. W A. Fuller left Atlanta in charge of the passenger train, on the V. & A. R. R. When he reached Marietta a party of strangers, dressed in citizen's clothee, boarded the train and paid their fares to different points. They claimed to be refugees from the Yankee lines joining the Confederate Army, but were disguised soldiers, volunteers from Sill's Brigade, Mitchell's Corps, U. S. A., commanded by Capt. Jas. J. Andrews. At Big Shanty the train stopped for breakfast, and most of the passengers and train crew left the train. The pnsfeners had taken their seats at the tabic, Capt. Fuller facing the train. lie saw through the window some strangers get on the engine in an excited manner and gtart off rapidly. He remarked to his engineer, Jeff Cain, and Anthony Murphy, then foreman of the W. &. A. shops, that " Some one who has no right to do so has gone off with our train.'

At Etowah they found the engine "Yonah and the pursuit then was at such a rapid pace that serious damage to the railroad by the raiders was impossible. The "General" was abandoned by the raiders at a point about half way between Uinggold and Graysville, on account of lack of fuel and the close pursuit of Fuller aud his party. When the fugitives abandoned the engine their leader said, "Every one take care of himself," and they left in equads. Four of them were run down in the fork of the Chickamauga Piver at Graysville, and one was forcibly persuaded to tell who they were. Later there was a trial by military court, and eight of the number were executed in Atlantaas epies, six were exchanged, and eight escaped from Libby prison. The object of the raid was to burn the bridges on the line of the Western ik Atlantic Railroad and thus cut off the Confederate Army from its base of supplies. The survivors of the Andrews Raiders have erected a monument to their fallen comrades, and it 6tands to-day in the National Cemetery at Chattanooga.
