The tone was one of grief. "Oh Julian! Julian! Leave me not jet!" She lasted hr freed hand upon his arm and gazed up into his face. Her eyes were streaming with tears and her bosom heaved convulsively. "Lady ülin!" "Julian! O. in this hour of helplessness and need 1 turn to thee with all my trust and faith. If the love of this poor heart is worth the cherishing, take it, and keep it always. I have no power I have no choice. The light of thy face, beaming in love upon me. reveals to me that I am bound to thee by chains which I cannot break." She rested her head upon his bosom; and he. winding his stout arms about her, pressed her to his heart as a treasure the most precious that earth could bestow. The sun sank to its evening rest, and the shades of twilight deepened over the river and over the grove. The stars came ou one by one, in their celestial stations, and anon the eiiver moon, lifting its face above the hills of Hobah. oast its soft light into the vale. Still the lovers sat beneath the orange tree: and there they might have sat late into the night, had not Osmir come to interrupt them. What did the guard want at that hour and in that plac. He sought his master. Julian arose and went to him and ihey whispered hurriedly together; and then I'lin was sure that she heard the Arabs mentioned. "Clin." said the chieftain, coming back and taking her hand, "you might Co with me to the cave. I am called in another direction." "What is it? You tremble. Ah, Julian there is danger." "No, no. sweet love; harbor not that fear. I go to ward off danger. O. I have something more than life to care for now." At this point Selim came running up, all out of breath; but before he could speak his master stopped him. "I understand, good Selim. Osmir has told me " "'But my master " "In a moment. Wait till I come back." Ami thus speaking Julian led the maiden to the cave. "Excu.-e me now." he said, raising b"r h-ind to his lips. "I will be back eliortly. You will not fear?" CHAPTER XX. A king's Story. The r.rst person whom Ulin met fift-i-r fr.tfcrir.s the- cave was Ezabel, who stoo'i by a table upon which a lan.jj a burning. "My (ear child. I was just roming In seaici; of you. We were anxious. What- have you been in tears? Ulin, what is it? What has happened?" The maiden, in memory of the great event of the evening, forgot the cause of fear that had been with her. It was a secret she could not keep a secret she had no wish to keep; and resting her Lead upon Ezabel's shoulder, she told toe story of her love. "Deurc-t I'lih." said the aged matron, kis.-ing t!ie maiden upon the brow, he is v rtiiy of the trust you have lrpou'd iu him!" At that niomer.t Albla come in from the kiove v,r.e;f she had bpvn in search cd her mistress; and very soon see, too. hud heard the story. She gazed irtn I'lin's face a moment, and then, with a tear glistening in her oye. che murmured: "I si.all le very happy i;ow, for henrefonh I con serve and love von both!" As A 1 oli spoke, and before any reply could be aade. Julian came hurrying Into the ave. Ii- was much excited and Lea Hadad saw a fear upon his face sih h as had never been seen there before. "My son." jpoke the hermit, "what means toL-? Your manner betokens danger " "And there danger." cried the young (' iu'tain. moving instim tively to Thn s side. "I iar that I have been much to blame. I should have been warned ly the words of Osmir and Selim. Those two Arabs have evidently discovered our abiding place." "Well and what then?" asked Pen Hadad. "I think t.iey have brought a large force agiinst us." "What of Arabs? Do they nuan to rob US?' "Perhaps." suggested Abia. ""they hope to recapture what they have lost." Ulin moved to Julian's side, and leaned upon his stout arm. He kissed her upon the brow and bade her be of good eouiae; and then he said to the others, in answer to what had been suggested: "I fear the truth has not yet been hit. If the Arabs are coming, as I apprehend, there may be another solution to the problem. Those two rascals who escaped us could easily have followed us to this place. We were not looking for such a thing, and so did not guard against it. They knew that the maiden who had been snatched from them was the daughter of the king's prime minister; and may they not have known that she w,. the kings affianced? At all events, it is not unreasonable to suppose that they may have anticipated some gain of reward by carrying intelligence to Aboul Cassem. If they have done this, then they must also have revealed the whereabout of the Scourge of Damascus." A low cry of pain from Ulin told bow directly the fear had touched her; and again her lover sought to calm her. "We must leave this place." he said, "and seek shelter in the wood. You and I and ATbia will go, and the guards will join us outside. I know where there is safety, so have no fear. Should the rascals come they will not harm

Robert Bonner's Sons. ... se old people; they will not dare to do it." Ulin had drawn a mantle about her shoulders, and Julian had turned to speak apart with Ben Hadad, when Osmir came rushing Into the cave, with terror depicted most painfully upon his ebon features. "They are coming!" he cried. "They have sprung upon us from a hidden cover." Who are coming?" "They are the kind's soldiers, led by the captain, Benoni!" On the next instant the clash of arms was heard at the entrance. "Back, back, sweet love," said Julian, gently pushing the maiden towards her chamber. "There may yet be hope." He grasped a sword as he spoke, and leaped toward the entrance; but he was too late. Already a score of armed men were rushing in, a number of them bearing flaming torches in their hands. "Come, good Osmir," the chieftain cried, bracing himself for the work. "Capture for us is certain death. We can do no better than to sell our lives here." One two three four of the royal soldiers fell beneath the lightning-like strokes of Julian's trenchant blade; and in the same time Osmir had slain two; but it was not in the roll of fate that two were to overcome the force that came pouring into the cave. A flaming torch was hurled upon the chieftain, and while he staggered beneath the blinding stroke he was drawn over backwards and his arms quickly pinioned. The next movement was to secure Ulin and Albia, after which Ben Hadad and Ezabel were taken. "Will you lay violent hands upon me?" demanded the hermit. "I am ordered to bring you all before the king." replied Benoni; "all whom I might find in this cave. I mean to offer you no harm, so if you have complaint to make, save it for those who command me." While the captain was searching other apartments, to see if more prisoners were to be found, Julian felt a hand laid upon his shoulder, and on looking up he beheld Judah. "So, my noble chieftain, you are fast once more. The guard played us false, it seems, and I came near losing my head in consequence; but my royal master will pardon me when he sees you again." chapter" XXI. Innocence of Helen. The king of Damascus had grown very old and very sour within those last few days. Rage and chagrin had so shaken his frame that he seemed stricken with palsy; and his voice, from its howlings and moanings. had become hoarse and cracked. But he had promise of sweet revenge. His soldiers were upon the track of the fugitives, and he believed they would bring them back. 0, how he would gloat over the sufferings of his victims when they came within his power! "I tell thee. Aboul Cassem." he said, addressing his minister, "the fair, frail Ulin must suffer for this. She is no longer your child; I shall not regard her as such. Aboul bowed his head, and answered that he was content. Omar could not help noticing that his friend was in trouble, and he took the liberty to ask what had gone wrong. "Alas!" crirtd Horam. "everything goes wrong." And he told how he ha 1 put away all his wives for th daughter cf Aboul Cassem. and how she hr.d betrayed him and fled from him. And then he told how he had once captured his dreaded enemy, the Scourge of Damascus, and how the prize had slipped through his fingers by means of the treachery of his slaves. "By my life." exclaimed Omar, "you have been most sorely afflicted." "But the woivt is yet to be told." pursued Horam. clenching his hands, ami gnashing his teeth. "The rebbr and the lady Clin went off on the same night, and I have every reason to believe that she corrupted my slaves to set him free. In fact. I am sure she did. I think they will be all within my power by tomorrow. 0. Omar, you have known much of my sorrow. I have grown old since we last met very old. In years I am but the passing of two harvests ahead of you; but in trial and trouble I have left you far behind. The last time you were in Damascus the first great trial of my life came upon me. You remember it." "Of what do you speak?" 'Why of my wife of the first wife I ever had of her whom I made my queen." "Do you mean the Lady Helena?" "To be sure I do. Mercy! have you forgotten?" "No." said Omar, shaking his head. "I remember Helena very well. She was the most bautiful woman I ever saw." "And as false as she was beautiful." added Horam. "Is it possible? T did not think she would come to that." "How!" exclaimed the king of Damascus. "Does your memory fail you?" "What mean you. Horam? My memory is good." "Then why do you wonder when I speak of the faithlessness of my first queen? Was it not yourself that gave to me the proofs of her infidelity? Did you not show to me that she had fallen?" "You speak in riddles," said the king of Aleppo. "I remember that we once suspected the young queen of bestowing her love upon a captain of your guard I think his name was Jabal." "Yes." responded Horam. "Jabal was the man, and I slew him. It was your evidence that convicted both him and Helena."
) "And was the queen guilty after that?" i "Guilty after that?" repeated IIo- ! ram, slowly and irresolutely. "What mean you? Do you imagine that I ! allowed her to live to commit more
I crime?" "In mercy's name," cried Omar, "what do you mean by this speech? Do you remember Sanballad and Ben Huram?" "Yes," replied Horam. "They were two of ray chamberlains, who accompanied you to Aleppo at the time of which we have spoken." "No," said Omar, "they did not quite go to Aleppo. I sent them back b3fore I reached my capital. They brought to you my message?" "I never saw them again after they went away with you," returned Horam. "Never saw them. Good spirits of mercy! Are you in earnest. Horam?" "Aye. If they started on their return, they must have been robbed and killed, for I never saw them after they left in your retinue." The king of Aleppo clasped his hands in agony. "O, Horam! Horam!" he exclaimed, "what a fearful mistake was that! Bear with me forgive me!" "What Is it, Omar?" "Your beautiful queen was Innocent!" "Innocent!" gasped Horam, starting to his feet, and then sinking back again. "Yes, my brother." replied Omar, in trembling tones, "she was as innocent as in that natal hour when first she rested upon her mother's bosom. At Balbec we found a woman whom some of my officers brought before me supposing her to be the queen of Damascus. She was very beautiful, and so nearly did she resemble the queen, Helena, that even I was at first deceived. Her name was Jasmin, and she told me that she had just fled from Damascus and was waiting for her lover to join her. She said that Jabal was her lover, and that he was a captain of Horam's guard. The truth flashed upon me in a moment. I conversed with her until I had gained her whole story; and then I knew that your queen was Innocent. It was all proved to me, as clear as the sun at noonday. At first I had a thought of returning myself, and bearing to you the joyful tidings; but business urged me on. and I sent Sanballad and Ben Huram." "And they did not come!" uttered Horam. with his hands working nervously in his bosom. "They did not come and my queen died." "God forgive me!" ejaculated Omar. "I would have given my own life Horam!" (To be continued.) INDOLENT WOMEN. Melancholy Arises from Laziness and Lack of Work to Do. "Why do so many women have melancholia?" repeated a city doctor, who has a large practice among the "depressed" and "nervous" feminine population. "Because they don't care to avoid it. Because they absolutely disregard the rules of mental and physical well-being. Because they would rather eat what they like and suffer indigestion and the blues afterward than to eat what is good for thcra but doesn't tickle their palaf.es. Because they'd much rather sit al?out on soft cush!ons than take a tramp of six miles through the open air. Because they haven't enough to occupy their minds and their hands." 7 hen the doctor paused to take breath, and began again: "It is never the women who have cause to feel blue," he said, "who indulge in bines. "The women who have shiftless husbands, hardhearted landlords, sick babies and all the usual accompaniments of poverty, never grow so depressed that they have to be treated for it. They are too busy. It's the woman with an adoring family, social pos'tion and a comfortable incom who doesn't find life worth living. It isn't the servant girl who gets up at six to kindle the fire and who slaves all day who indulges in melancholia, but the daughter of the familv who arises at nine or ten, dawdles over her breakfast, reads a little, practices a little, shops a little, craves excitement v.'th all her heart, and is melancholic because she doesn't have it. There is no habit which grows upon one so rapidly," went on the doctor. "It becomes a disease in a very short time. My own plan, whenever I feci an attack toming on, is to put. un my walking boots and tramp vigorously as far as I can. It is simply impossible to exercise and feel blue at the sat lie timQ. Of course, a general care of the health is necessary, and work is the chief factor in effecting a cure. Every woman who has a tendency to melancholia should have an occupation which, if it doesn't entirely absorb her, will at least keip her busy. And she should give her mind up to practical rather than theoretical at fairs. She should make herself useful in the household, rather than spend her time unprofitably in studying and discussing the teachings of the theosophicpl school or the philosophy of Herbert Spencer. Ordinarily. good health, plenty of exercise, plenty of work, and an interest in the affairs of this world are the great preventives and cures of melancholia." New York Weekly. rare ii till Kronoiny. "Papa." said Dickey, "all the other boys are going to have torpedoes or firecrackers or something for the Fourth of July. Can't I have any- ! thing at all?" "Dickey," said Mr. nilllJVK, IH'l IVMII lllft III J nitl IWII.1 l J , "come with me and I'll show you something." He took him out to the summer kitchen and showed him a large package neatly folded, and tied with a string. "There." he said, "arc all the paper bags that have been brought into the house for a whole year from grocery stores and other places. 1 have had your mother save them for you. Every one of them will make as much noise as a firecracker if you fill them with air. and pop 'em right." It was not exactly what Dickpy had set his heart on, but it was all the "Fourth of July" he got. Youth's Companion. A girl isn't necessarily timid because she Jumps at a proposal.
Self-Dlsclplln. The method of maintaining discipline in the state prison at Folsom, California, is declared to be very successful. There are no dungeons or dark cells, and none of the old modes of punishment are recognized in this institution. When a new prisoner is received, he is informed that they have three different bills of fare in the prison, and that it is optional with each man as to how well he lives. If he is industrious, orderly, well-behaved and in all things conforms strictly to the rules of the prison, he is served with excellent food, nicely cooked. He can have chops, steaks, eggs, tea and coffee, milk and white bread; if he is only fairly well-behaved, and does not do his allotted task properly, is inclined to growl and grumble at the regulations of the institution, he is given ordinary prison fare, mush and molasses, soup and corn bread; and if he is ugly ana insubordinate, he is permitted to feast on unlimited quantities of cold water and a rather small allowance of bread. There is said to be an intense rivalry among the convicts to enter the first class and once there it is very seldom that one of them has to be sent back to a lower class.
Rheumatism and the Eyes. Chicago. 111.. Nov. ISth. Mr. R. A. Wade, the celebrated criminal lawyer of this city whose opinion on legal matters is unquestioned, has recently made public his unqualified opinion on a matter of medicine. Mr. Wade says that Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble affect the eyesight, and further that there is no case of the kind that can not be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. He has no fear of being set right by any of his medical friends, for both statements have a living and indisputable proof in the person of the great lawyer himself, who as a result of Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble from which he suffered for years,, became totally blind. Physicians, the best in the country, pronounced his case incurable and hopeless, but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him, restored his sight, drove away the Kidney Trouble and with it the Rheumatism and made an allaround well man of him. Obelink to Victorias Memory. An immense and elaborately built obelisk, in memory of Queen Victoria, 13 to be placed next year in the grounds at Balmoral by the tenantry of the royal estates on Deeside. The obelisk, which will be over thirty feet high, is to be constructed of stone from a quarry in Balmoral forest. The site selected for the memorial, of which the king has signified his approval, is in the so-called Monument Park, between the bronze statue of the prince consort and the jubilee sCatue of the prince consort and the jubilee statue of Queen Victoria, which last was erected in 1SS7 by the tenantry.

PEOPLE and EVENTS PROF. SMEDLEY AND SPELLING. Professor Smedley and his assistants In the department of child study of the Chicago public schools are trying to find out why so many children do not learn to spell. That they do not is admitted by the fact of the investigation. And this admission is doubly interesting because it comes from Professor Smedley. Professor Smedley's investigations so far seem to be confined to physical conditions. He suggests that improperly fed children have weaker memories as well as bodies. Defective eyes are also suggested as another reason for bad spelling. The theory is that the child, not seeing the word correctly in the first place, is unable to reproduce it correctly. In this latter theory there seems to be a point which tue lay mind concerned with results, and observing that the spelling results of Chicago school training are decidedly poor, may reflect upon with profit. The old system, by which children were taught to spell by steady practice in vocal combining of letters into words, is regarded as very crude and bad by the apostles of the "new methods." For it has been largely superseded Dy what is called "the visual method," which seems to be that a child shall first be taught what a word looks like as a whole and then shall learn to spell it by taking it to pieces and trying to put the pieces together again. THE FOXY OLD SULTAN. Abdul Hamil II., Sultan of Turkey, who has just conceded the demands of the French government, thus savABDUL HAMID, ing the seizure of Smyrna by the French fleet in the Smyrna Gulf, is now in the sixtieth year of his life, and probably a sicker man than ever before. The sultan's sickness is not merely metaphorical; it is literal. For years he has been in bad health, and while he has had to face constant political menace from blustering powers abroad, he has been threatened with assassination and revolution at home, together with all the other evils flowing from the despotic form of government. It is now twenty-five years since he ascended the throne of his ancestors, and although he Is the most execrated monarch on the face of the globe he has many warm sympathisers and friends among the foreign diplomats who have visited his court and have learned the exasperating trials of which the sultan is the victim. It is only within the past few years that he took to wearing a full beard. Formerly he wore a mustache only. Tlie ( hanct H for Hilt.

The leader of the New York Democracy inevitably becomes the National Democratic leader. Undoubtedly Governor Hill is one of the most astute politicians and statesmen in the country. Yet it is too early to select the statesman who shall be invited to assume the leadership of the Democratic party. It may be Hill and above the Democratic horizon there now appears no vision of leadership which he might not realize and fill. But as the future unfolds there will be many objects to attract the popular attention. Next year, after congress adjourns, elections will be held in forty states. Governors, with other state officers, and members of congress will be chosen. Out of the events of 1902, not out of the events of 1901, the Democratic leadership of the future will be evolved. Russia And Great Ilritaln. Great Britain, in spite of Its ill luck In South Africa, can still turn to account every moment for looking after Its Northwest Indian frontier. Therefore Russia should regard Afghanistan more attentively and set to work more seriously with that country, for Great Britain will know when to seize the right moment for provoking a quarrel between the ameer and Russia, and such a quarrel would call for the withdrawal of Russian troops from points at which their presence at this moment is Indispensable.

St. Jacobs Oil for Chest-Colds, Bronchitis, Croup and Pleurisy. An outward application for bronchial difficulties is many times far more effective than syrups, cough mixture, cod liver oil, &c, simply because it penetrates through to the direct cause, which is, as a rule, an accumulation of matter or growth tightly adhered to the bronchial tubes. St. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does those wonderful penetrating powers, enables it to loosen these adhesions and to induce free expectoration. Cases have been known where expectorations have been examined after St. Jacobs Oil has been applied, and the exact formation was clearly shown, where the adhesions had been removed or pulled off the bronchial tubes. All irritation of the delicate mucous membrane of the broncha is quickly removed by the healing and soothing properties of St. Jacobs Oil. In cases of croop and whooping cough in children St. Jacobs Oil will be found superior to any other remedy. St. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout t'he world. It is clean to use not at all greasy or oily, as its name might imply. For rheumatism, gout, sciatica, neuralgia, cramp, pleurisy, lumbago, sore throat, bronchitis, soreness, stiffness, bruises, toothache, headache, backache, feetache, pains in the chest, pains in the back, pains in the shoulders, pains in the limbs, and all bodily aches and pains it has no equal. It acts like magic. Safe, sure, and never failing.
What the World Owes Asia. On the whole, when the continent of continents is fairly viewed in her length and fullness" of history as in her breadth and wealth of land, Asia must be held at once the cradle of humanity, the birthplace of nations, the nursery of the world's religions, and all right-thinking men must hope that the debt of the western world to the queenly continent will be paid in full measure, and in pease and good will to the men of ancient lineage, whether their skins be brown or yellow.
