WESTMINSTER, MD. SATURDAY, JUNE 49, 1877.


Abdallah, said the beggar, tauntinglyi
but Abdallah was too much troubled to
hear him. He ran over iu his mind all
his late business transactions, 10 see how
far worst had infringed the law, and won,
dered which one Of his many agents was
most likely to botray him, and whether, il
the worst came to the worst, he could
manage TO escape with life. "Perhaps !
may escape even now, said he to himself
but no-the Guard was too close Be
sides, he reasoned, if | attempt flight, il
will seem TO confirm suspicion. But he
could not have flown had he tried, for his
feet were rooted to the ground He was
grim-looking fellow, the Captain Of the
Guard, aud his manner Of arresting Alb.
dalah was not calculated to set the latter
at his ease. He drew his long sword with
one hand, and clutched the merchant by
the wrist with the other, while the sol
diers sprang upon him from the opposite
side, and pinioned his arms behind him
He was then marched off in the direction
Of the Sultan's palace. As might have
been expected, his arrest drew together q
crowd. First and foremost came the rab.
bic from the Beggars' Quarter; children
who broke off their plays to revile him
women who ran to see If it was lover OF
husband, and numbers Of the beggar.men,
whom the news had already reached.
Among Others was the girl who SO resem.
bled Ioulekia. 1t was strange, but she
was not in the least like her now. She
had lustrous eyes, long lashes and black
hair adorned with sequins, but her face
was haggurd with sensuality and distorted
with indecent mirth. She was no more
like Zouleika, the pure and beautiful
Zouleika, than a wandering comet a hell
of aerial fire, is like the moon, the silver
Eden of night.
This is marvellous, this change" thought
Abdallah, aud the beggar coming into his
mind, he turned his head to see if he were
changed also, but 10 he had vanished.
The Guard and their prisoner had now
reached the Sultans palace. 1t was a
holiday in Cairo and the square was filed
with soldiers. Bodies Of black troops
were drawn up in files on each side, while
the centre was filled by the dignitaries of
the empire, bashaws Of distant provinces,
white-bearded old sheikhs of desert tribes
and daring Mamelukes. Beside the palace
