clusion of repairing at once to the terrible
pasha, and there reporting the calamity that
had befallen him. Arrived at the palace,
Hebeeb, trembling all over with awe, was
ushered into the tyrant's presence just at
the very moment when, as we have already
seen, Djezzar was gloomily rehectiDg upon
some alternative to Danish ennui. He hail
ed the silversmith's arrival with manifest
glee and evident satisfaction. In a few
words Habeeb narrated his errand, which
was satisfactory one for the pasha, for it
afforded him ample scope for the display of
his talents and his power.
"Do you know" asked Djezzar, in a ter
rible voice, tsany man for whom your vvife
has at any time evinced partiaity? or have
you had any recent cause of disputation with
herW
Haleeb replied in tho negative. assuring
the pasha that even up TO that very morning
nothing had ever occurred to interrupt the
harmony of their lives. .
The pasha then enquired whether the
woman had taken her clothes or other eff
fects with her. To this the silversmith re-
piled, that everything, saving what she
stood in, had been left behind.
"Good" said Djezzar, ego you home d-
rectly and fetch hther your wifes mar
riage trunk We shall see whether we
cannot trace the truant by that means"
The silversmith went home and returned
with the trunk, as directed, when the pasha
ordered him TO openit in his presence, and
take out every article that it contained. emu.
merating one by one, how such and such
things came into his wife's possession.
Habeeb obeyed, and in doing so, display
ed to view goodly assortment of lady's ap.
parrel, all of which. he was able 10 trace as
the gift of himself or of some near relation.
The pasha's brow lowered as he fanced
himself frustrated in his scheme, when,
from the very bottom of the trunk, the be.
widered husband produced a most costly
and highly embroidered silk tunic, for which
he was wholly unable to>account.
"That will dow said Diezzar, Frightening
up again; 'fyou go home now; and by the
beard of the prophet! yeur wife shall be
restored 10 you before the day has elapsed.n
With many expressions of gratitude and
full of wonderment at the sagacry of the pa
sha, Eabeeb retired to his home there 10
puzzle his brain throughout the night as to
what could ever become of his wife, and
how the dress could possibly effect her re-
covery.
Meanwhile the pasha had sent mandate
10 the 7irgi Bash lhead tailor) of Acre,

mediate presence. Its needless to say that
the command was instantaneously obeyed
by the trembling herd of snips, who won.
dered what new experiments they wore 10
form the subjects of. Arrived in the terrible
presence of Djczzar, the silk tunic was laid
out for their inspection, and with q horrible
menace, they were, one and all, invited TO
inspect the same, and the maker to ac-
knowledge who he had made it for, and who
had paid him for the making of it. After
brief survey, one intelligent young man
boldly stepped forward, and declared that
the dress had been made for the pasha's
treasurer, who had duly paid him for the
same.
Eyeing him sternly for while, Djezzar
replied:
"Young man, | read sincerity in your
eyes, and believe whatyou say You may,
therefore, return 10 your respective homes
at once.o ...-..
The astonshed and happy conclave thus
dismissed, Djezzar sent an order to the little
suspecting treasurer, for the immediate re-
lease of the Christians wife, who was con-
cealed in his harem. The treasurer vainly
denied the charge, and was al last constrain-
ed 10 give up The hapless Catoor, who was
conducted into the pasha's presence to find
her ill-used husband already waiting her in
the audience hail.

your wife. | swore / would recover her,
and ilave kept my OATH"
But Habeed, while acknowledging his
great gratitude, required of the pasha that
justice should take its course.
"If," said the silversmith, emy wife was
forcibly carried away, shall only be too
happy to receive her again into my house
and my affections but if she went of her
own free will, then let the law take its
courseo

who was accordingly sewed up into sack,
and thrown into the sea; and as for the
treasurer, he not only received the tsack"
with regard to the post he held, but was
thrown into a dreary dungeon, where he
pined over his wickedness through many
long weary day.
