by mob during his absence, from whose
mad fury they had escaped by a secret
door leading to the dark arches and sub.

The sultan was satisfied, and the whole
party returned together to the palace
where, as the Frank had stated, Nah
moud had been proclaimed sultan, and
was being searched for everywhere.
The Greek girl and her Frank lover,
who proved to be an Englishman, were
subsequently, married; and, after a short
residence in England, they returned to
the East, where the happy husband took
service with Mahmoud as superintendent
in one of the departments of the navy Of
the Sublime Porte.

birth of her first child, the nurse, with
considerable astonishment, saw the moth

vehemently. Before the nurse could in
terfere, the countess had flung the stone;

child immediately awoke and cried
