to narrow street near by, aud dIssp-
t--arei IA = dIngy bakers shop. Her
mothers unattraciive and discriminating
fsce frightened rs Sophie related the in
terview with the marquis. One admiring
look at her child explained 10 the mother
the meaning of the marquis's favor.
"This is good fortune, Sophie said
she; 1--WE will 20 to the palace"
SOphie's father is invisible at the point
where this history begins, perhaps lying
behind the scenes with Turkish poniard
in his heart, paying the grudge of race.
Sophie was a Fanariote-as the marquis
had been delighted to learn-because her
parents were descendants of the Greeks
who remained in Constantinople after the
downfall of the Eastern empire in 1853,
and who were assigned to a quarter OF
the city called the Fanar. The Fanari-
otes, kissing ardently the hands which
they could not bite off," became inter-
prefers and private secretaries to their
conqueror and the foreign embassy
Subservient, adaptable and shrewd, they
exercised powerful influence in the
state till the Greek insurrectien nipped
, them stalk and flower.
Sophie's mother had the scheming dis.
position and unfeeling heart of Fanari-
ote grated on comparative poverty. So
mother and daughter appeared at the EN-.
bassadorial palace on the appointed day
and were placed before the marquis
The Frenchman knew with whom he had
not overburdened with sentiment, anG
susceptible to position and gold.
elbow much money would the mother
demand for her little Sophie, If she were
disposed to SELF"
: And he promised, in the same breath
; t. educate and otherwise provide fol
the little Fanariote as if she were his OWL
child.
The mother let flow whole reservoir
. of tears. She might be poor baker
woman, she said, but che had heart fo
all that, and came of an exceedingly gooC
family. Her ancestor-and here she
courtesied profoundly-was, indeed, nc
other than the celebrated Byzantine EN-.
peror, Manuel Komnenos. How coulG
his cxcellency think, for moment, tina
she, the mother, would sell her princely
baker-daughter!
The marquis did not dispute the illus
trious ancestry of the little Fanariote
F The excessive grief of the mother
strengthened him iu his conclusion tina,
500 piasters (S375) would prove suf.
ficient bait for the covetous baker woman
and he stated his terms. The mother
made the palace ring with her doleful
cries, till the marquis, losing all patience,
told her to sign the contract, which he
had already prepared, or take her daugh-
ter and 20. A few fatherly caresses
smoothed out the brow of the child,
whose first impulse was to shrink from
the ambassadors seeming austerity. The
mother rallied at the baseness Of the
world, and finally consoling herself with
the Turkish proverb, 1.-THE nest of blind
bird is built by God" she signed over t.
the marquis. beyond recall, all claim.
