TO hisself that man was me, because
none o. the boys seemed to get there,
nor shoot. Two o. the soldiers war a

business was done so quick that they
didn't have time to shoot agin' after

over; but it were MORN week to me
The Injin bent down quick and
grabbed me in the scalp-lock. Lord how

Shopping in ConstantinopIe.

On the very first occasion that we
visited the bazaars together, A. pro-
posed that we should conceal the fact
that L could speak Turkish, and engage
the services of young Jew, who really
spoke English very well, and see how
far he would try to rob us. This we did
and soon settled ourselves down to pur.
chase from an old Turk very curious
and handsome old English clock, by a
celebrated maker who had been dead
some hundred years The clock would
not go, but it was easy to see there was
not much the matter with it, Probably
1T had been present from some am
bassador or rich merchant to some
Pasba, and after being stopped and
broken by the fingers of his inauisitive
wives, had, perhaps, been stolen during
some fire, and kept for years until it
was safe to expose it for sale. A. now
addressed himself to the Jew inter
prefer:
@ Ask the old fellow how much he will
take for the clock"
Jew in Turkish-How much?
Turk-Twelve pounds.
jew to A.-Sixteen pounds, sare.
Offer him 60.
jew to Turk-The Englishman offers
one pound says it is all smashed up, and
only wants it for the glass and hands
the former for an eyeglass, the latter for
toothpicks.
Turk with dignity You lying beast
May your vile tongue blister your pol
luted mouth, and destroy you by slow
starvation.
jew to Ale say sare, eos he love
me all same as his son, he let English
lord have clock for fourteen dollars.
This was little staggering for me, and
my face must have betrayed me to the
lynx-eyed Israelite if had not taken the
opportunity and hunted flea all round
the inside of my sock. This kind of bar
gaining went on for an hour. A. being
made aware of the state of affairs by me,
while the Jew had gone to fetch us some
coffee. At last the Turk was beaten
down till he asked two pounds, and the
Jew. said four pounds; and then the vii
lain's look of outraged innocence was
worth anything, whenI quietly said to
the Turk in Turkish:
We will give you two pounds. and
hope to have deal with you again an
other day, when we will not bring our
friend here with us"
In a moment the young Jew had dis
appeared.
