MEHMED'S LUCK.

Mehmed Agha was one of the most shiftless and-useless of tbo refugees from Bulgaria who came to Constantinople after the Russian war made that region a Christian country. Ho was strong in build, ho was good looking, anrl he seenid fairly intelligent. Hut do what ho would bo could find no steady work. At almost any hour of almost any day his bright yellow waistcoat and crimson glrdlo gleamed among the shadows of the dingy littlo coffeo house by tbo carrlogo stand at Boshiktash, for there ho lounged away his timo, woiting for something to turn up. At night ho wrapped himself in his brown homespun clonk and slept on one of tbo coffee houso benches, barely tolerated by the coffee houso keepor, because he, having boon a rofugee himself, knew the pitiful bitterness of tho refugee's lot. How Mehmcd lived no ono knows. Ho was nover soen to cat, and people looked at him askance, as though ho had mastered tho chameleon's soorot. At Inst Mehmod's long and patient oxpoctnaoy was justified. Something did turn up, and from that moment tho man's character as woll as his lifo was revolutionized.

What turned up was a vory simplo and pleasing solution of his difficulties. Ono day tho stout and jolly old imam of tho parish received a visit from Molek Ilnnum buxom widow living nearly opposite tho little coffee houso by the earrlago stand Sho held her whito veil modestly over her faco, and, with a certain amount of hesitation and Incoherent^', sho asked the astonlshed old gentleman to obtain for her tho hand of Mehmed tho refugoe in marriage. Sho explained that, being a lono woman, aho needed husband, and that Mehmed Agha, being a good looking man who had nothing In particular to occupy him, sho fancied that he might have beon destined by fato for the vacant post in her houso. "Of courso it will amount," sho said, "to my doing everything for him, but then tho poor follow needs to have 8omo ono to take caro of him."

Tho good imam had not qulto that right of disposal of Mehniod Agha's hand which Melek Hanum seemed to ascribe to hhn. Nevertheless as pastor of tho parish *ho had more than onoo performed similar favors for anxious and hopoless ones. Ilo therefore saw no reason to rofuso to act as wooer of Mehmcd for tho widow, and, thanks to his wiso diplomaoy, a match was quickly arranged.

Not long after tho niarrlago Molok Hamuli oasually remarked to her husband that sho knew how to mako vory good beurek pastry cakes. "There is no roaco»,:«iho said, "why you should not go out oorly In tho morning and sell my beurek cakes on tho streets. Peopfo will buy them for breakfast, and wo shall mako oil them at least enough to pay for our coal." This seemed unimpeachable sense. Thus Mehmcd Agha bceamo a botirekjl, rising early every morning and peddling the toothsome cakes from houso to houso in a little tray slung about his neck. Tho profits reeonciled liim to tho inconvonienco of regular duticft.

After the trade in pastry cakes had bo« come an established and successful enterprise Molek Hamuli ono day hailed her husband with a new proposal. "Oh, Mehmed, soul of my soul," sho said, "It is no shame to work If we can get money In that, way to pay tho baker's account. The neighbors hnvo just told mo from their window that Yusuf, tho school porter, has gone away. Ho is to be stableman at Kiantil Pasha's. Kun quick to tho Imam and ask hint to lot you bo school porter. Your beurek cakes are sold off long before it Is timo to tnko tho children to school. Vou might do this work as well as not."

The imam was kindly disposed, and so tho next day, after selling his beuroks, Mehmed Aghn began his new duties, gathering up all the littlo children of tho quarter and taking them and their dinner tins under his protecting shadow to tho school.

Aftor a few weeks there came again a flay when the good imam knocked at tho door of the little houso opposite tho coffee •hop and called for Mehmed Agha. "May God glvo you endless days!" said be. "A may whom I put into tho Bcfctwtan as broker has died. If you like, I can got you his place. Perhaps you might make a little money o\it of tho business."

Before Mehmed Agha had a chance to answer a gentle voice from behind the screen where Melek Hanum bad taken refuge on the arrival of the imam said:

"Certainly, Mtthrood, yau oogbt to tako

this position. Fortunately tho Bexestan A

after taking the children to school. It is not every day that you can get a chance to take up a business which will pay the rent of the house." Needless to say, Mehmed Agha became a Bexestan broker. Every day aftor selling his beurek enkesand taking the children to school he hurried over to Stamboul and spent three or four hours in perambulating the basaara, now with a watch ami asm in with a copper kettle or perhaps an amber cigarette holder In his hand for all to soo, while be cried aloud

the amount of the last bid and accepted new ones. He succeeded pt*tty well, for Uw Besostan merchant* liked his looks

and his manner of talking and gave him plenty of opportunities to make his commission.

ln a *t»t» of excitement. ITamid, the night vrat uan of the district, was old man. He had now been token sick again and had been forced to acknowledge that he could no longer perform the duties

Mehmed," said Melek Hanum. "I have told tbo imam to recommend you to tho captain of the guard for the place. The work will not interfere with your other business, and it will bring us in at least enough to pay for our clothes."

Mehmed Agha looked rather ruefully at this new development of his good luck, but the very next night saw him installed as night watchman. He had to sally forth about two hours after sunset, wrapped in his brown homespun overcoat and with his feet incased in enormous bpots, with toes sharp and upturned, like the bows of a caique. All night long with the Iron shod parochial club he bad to pound out the hours in regular succession on the rough cubbiestones of tbe pavement. A short time before daybreak be would return to his abode and tako a short nap until it was time for him to begin anew day's work with slinging bis tray to sell his beurek cakes about the streets.

The good old imam was a true friend to Mehmed Agha. Before very long he found a new way to bolp him. One of tbe rauez «lns of the mosque of Mihrimab, near tbe Adrianople gate in Stamboul, was going back to bis homo at Aleppo. "You have a good voice," said tho imam, "and you might just as well do the work of this muozzin. Happily tbe Bezestan closes early. There will bo plenty of time. All you have to do is to run over to Mihrimah after you get through at tbo Bezestan. There you give the call for afternoon prayers from tho minaret and sing in tho choir at tbe service, and then you come home as comfortable as a cat that is licking her chops over tho last of tho littlo chickens."

This was becoming 6erious, and Mehmed nearly said that he c^uld not undertake any moro work. But as soon as bis wife heard of the proposal she said: "You are already in Stamboul in any case, my lion, and you might just as well earn this money too. It will provide for our tobacco." So Mehmed Agha became muezzin at tho mosque of Mihrimah in addition to his other duties.

Ono day after tho Bezestan had closed Mehmed Agha was making all speed to roaoh the mosquo in timo, when in crossing the square in front of the mosque of Bayezid he squarely ran into a man. What Was his amazement to find that this collision had brought him faco to faco with Osman Agha, a friend of his boyhood at his old homo in Lovoha in Bulgaria. Mehmed Agha had not seen his friend since the war, but he saluted him and hurried on.

Osman Agha called after him to stop a moment, but Mohnied Agha answerod, "No lam in a groat hurry, and leannot stop." "Man alive," cried Osman Agha, "I havo just come from your father's house, and you pass mo like a cabinet it Inistcr, with a wave of tho hand!" These words were uttered in a somewhat disjointed and jerky fashion, for Osman Agha was running after Mehmed. When he had caught him firmly by tho coat collar, Osman added, "Well, how aro you, and what are you doing for a living?"

Mehmed Agha mado no attempt to break away and replied: "I am all right. For soino timo I had no work, but a woman married me, and sho has found work for me, and now lot mo go and do it." "But what kind of work is it that will not lot you even stop to havo a oup of coffco with your oldest friondf" "Oh, it Is many works. First thing in tho morning I am beurekji and sell beurek oakes at Boshiktash. Then I am school porter thoro and havo to take the ohili.ren to sohool as soon as tho beurek cakes aro sold. As soon as the childron aro safely at school I have to hurry off to Stamboul, for I nm broker In tho Bezoston while that is open, and I sell auction goods about the bazaars. As soon as the Bezestan oloses I am muozzin at tho mosquo of Mihrimah, and now I must go thoro to call tho peoplo to afternoon prayers. After tho service I go home, and as soon as I get homo I am night watchman until it is timo to sell tho beurek cakcs again. My wifo has found me work, you see) Why, man, I do not even havo timo to eat." "Woll," said Osman Agha indignantly, "all I hrtve to soy Is that if I had a wifo who mado mo work liko that I would divorce her before sunset!" "That is what I would like to do," said Mehmed Agha, now for tho first timo recognizing his grievances. "Yes, it would bo best to divorce this woman. But, then, I would havo to go to tho court to toll the judge that I havo divorced hor and to glvo eocurlty for tbo dowry money. Mercy 1 Don't you see, Oimiu? It would never do In the world. It would take at least two hours'time I I really haven't time to bo divorced!"

So saying, Mehmed Agha broko away from his friend and rushrd off to the mosque of Mihriirah to cull the faithful to prayers.—New York Tribune.

Personal Feeling In Battle. Writing about the personal feeling of a commander in battle, General Schofleld says in his"Forty-six Years In the Army" that In his own experience the greater the actual danger tho less it was thought to bo. Tho responsibilities of a great battle drive out all thoughts except those that are likely to influence the final result.

At the Imttlo of Nashville General Thomas and General Schofleld sat together on horseback on ground overlooking nearly tho entire field. Occasionally when a shell exploded near and caused Thomas' horso to make a slight start the ouly change visiblo in that calm, stout hearted soldier wfts a slight motion of tho bridlo hand to check the horse. Genera^ Schofleld's own gray charger WQS fearless, but Thomas never noticed what effect tbo explosion of a shell produced on either tbe gray horso or his rider.

Thomas would frequently roach for Schoflcki's glasses, saying they were the only fieldglassea he had over found of much use to him. After looking long and earnestly he would return tbo glasses with

field with the energy that battle alone could arouse in his calm nature: "Smith has not reached for enough to the right. Put in your troops!"

Natural combntlveness Is so strong in some generals in battle that they regret— General Schofleld confesses bo did several times—H at rank prevents them from usIng a musket In the ranks. "I have seen this passion so strong," writes General Schofleld, "that a major general commanding an array corps would dismount and act tbe part of gunner to a field piece, apparently oblivious to tbe bat-

The Tale of an Ancient Wrong.

Tho following poem, by Alfred Austin, poet laureate of England, has a deep significance and is attracting much attention: What is the voice

hear

On the winds of the western sea? Sentinel, listen from out Cape Clear And say what the voice may be. 'Tis a proud, free people, calling loud to a people proud and free. «_

And it says to them: "Kinsmen, haill We severed have been too long. Now let us have done with a wornont tale—

The tale of an ancient wrong— And our friendship last long as love doth last and be stronger than death is strong."

Answer them, sons of the selfs&sna race And blood of the selfsame clan. Let us speak with each other face to face

And answer as man to man, And loyally love and trust cach other as none but free men-can.

4*V

'•i*. ft,

Now Sing them out to the breezeShamrock, thistle and rose, And the star spangled banner unfurl with these—

A message to Mends, to foes, Wherever the sails of peace are seen and whenever the war wind Mows— 7-h,.

message to bond and thrall to wake. For, wherever we come, we twain. The throne of the tyrant stall rock and quake

And hla menace be void ud vain. For you are lords of a strcng, young we are lords of tbe main.

y«, this is the voice cn the bluff March gale. We severed have been too long. Beit now we have daae with a woraout tale—.

IJw tale of an ancient wrong— And our friendship last long as love doth last and be stronger than death is strong.
