"My daughter loved and was loveC
by youth of lspahan, who was
mere seller of shawls. He stood il
the bazaar on small salary, with NJ
chance to steal but little, and wal
therefore poor. His master, a Jew
from Cairo, paid him but four dir
lhem's per month, which would hard
ly keep him in kirboshes. He KEEP
up style however, by bilking his
landlady and borrowing. His capi
tai was cheek. The immortality and
dishonesty of the lower classes is
something terrible. Baba, my daugh.
ter, loved him nevertheless. She
would steal out in the garden nights
to meet him,-she would go to the
mosque to meet Kim, and once, lie
even penetrated her chamber.
81 demonstrated with the Young
fellow, but to no purpose. Tdesired
Baba to wed Hassan, the rich mer-
chant, but he was old aud ugly, and
she preferred the penniless Young
man. 1 pointed out to her the prob,
ability of Hassan's dying and Ieav-
ing her a rich widow, but she was
emmovahle.
Papa" said she, 81 will never
desert Ilderim till he deserts me,
which he never will. 1 can de, but
what's death? tits merely cMnge,
the body moulders in the tomb-but
the spirit-the Eternal Essence, re-
turns to, and becomes a part of the
Supreme Entity from which it orig
inally sprang. Your cruelty may
drive me to an immediate return to
native heaven, but as for marrying
Hassan-not for joe"
81 was determined that she should
not wed with Ilderim, but did not
resort to bludgeons and double-bar-
relied shOt'guns and bulldogs, and
things OF that unpleasant nature.
Not any. l am an astute old gen
tleman, whose eye teeth have been

next day. l invited him to my house

"BuJ just at that time story got
into circulation that l had been

been led into trouble by Jimfsque
and Jagould-two railroad financiers
of that day, who could clean out an
honest man in less time than it
would take him to write an assign
ment-that l had confded in Da Mel
droo, and in short, that 1 was busted.
And the next time that Ilderim
came, there were officers of the Cadi
in the house, who were, as he enter
ed, appraising Baba's Steinway
piano. fell on his neck and wept
and told him I was ruined, and asked

Ilderim's vacant look, as he remark
ed 'it's a queer CO." and panied to
see him absent himself without even
asking Cor Baba. And two days af-
ter heard Baba speak of him as a
"heartless wretch" which remark
she madejust after seeing him prom
enade gaily with Zobeide, the daugh-
ter of Zamroud, the rich candle
maker. Baba married Hassan the
next week. Ilderim was disgusted
when he discovered that I had not
lost my shekels that not dirhem
had left my pouch, and that the Off
GERS he saw in my house we're only
my own slaves in disguise, and he
accused Hassan and myself of hav-
ing "put it up on him." as he ex.
pressed it. Possibly we did. Mind
is stronger than muscle-the Gun
ming dwarf can do more than the
stupid giant. Management will ac-
eomplish what kicks and bludgeons
can not. Kicks never reach the seat
