it is a story of only short time ago. Ism all
Sadyk was born a common fellah and re.

dirty and swarlhy Arab, he had the
appearance OF a cunning brute, but he
was no common man. The Khedive had
had occasion TO seek a manager for
one of his estates and he chose this Arab

and giddy elevation made the man mad, and
while the Khedive was reputed a humane
and noble prince, this agent of his wrung

poleon never dared 10 dream of. When

would divuIge revelations detrimental 10 the

cabinet. The Khedive was not 30 weak but
that he could resent this iusult. On the

fore his privy council the accusation that
| Ismail Sadyk had accused the Knedive of
selling Egypt TO the Christians and by

of Islam" in Egypt has procured the or
| ganization of plot against his highness.
| The verdict of the counsellers was high
| treason, and the minister was condemned TO
dismissal, exile and imprisonment at Dom
COLA. Accordingly the mouffetieh was ar
rested and placed on a steamer, which forth
| with left for upper Egypt. Shortly after
this the governor of Dongola sent process
verbal to the Khedive, formally announcing
the natural death OF the administer: but 90
one has ever believed this story, and though
the system of extortion which he upheld has
passed away and been succeeded by the wise
financial efforts of Tew6k, yet for six years
the people have feared and trsmbled lest the
oppressor should again appear, 20 again
terrorize the nation.
Ii was Ismail's manifest intention that
Ssdyk should suffer close confinement at
DoDgols, and there is hut little doubt that
through some fault of the governor of that
province the prisoner escaped, and that out
III
story of his death should be made current.
That was five years ago, and it is believed
that the moufetich still lives. There are
stories of q stranger Arab who followed
lsmail Khedive when he went to Italy into
exile, and who threatened to kill the de-
posed viceroy unless he would give him
audience. Some suspected that this man
was the lost mouffeich, but Ismail was close
mouthed and nothing else has been told of
the mysterious man. But now q revelation
has come. Sadyk had three magnificent
palaces and other boundless wealth, which
he enjoyed with his thirty-siX wives. OF
these palaces that of Eliron was his favor
lite, and there was the home of his
favorite wife. This woman was beautiful
creature, whose son had married an adopted
daughter of the Khedive. and who had 1000
other objects of ambition, though che was OF
common caste. When Sultan Abdul Hamid
succeeded his brother Murad, August 81,
1875, this woman put herself into the house
hold of the new Sultan, who, DESTROYS of
pleasing Egypt, was disposed to be kind TO
the wife OF an Egyptian cabinet minister.
So vain and conceiie ed was she that she early
sought an occasion TO do her husbands lord
favor. The Princess Isa was just dead,
and che had left one who had been her COM
panion aud adopted sister, Jewess, Giula
by name. The Sultau-kindly cherishing
all that his beloved Isla had favored with |
her affection-was glad when he was told |
that lady OF the aristocracy of Cairo pro- |
posed 10 be to GiuIa all that Isla had been. |
And purchasing the royal favor by this gift |
of love the wife of Sadyk returned |
home and Giula went with her as an
adopted daughter. The mouffetich loved the
young lady and Giula had daughters regard
for the nan who made her the recipient of
all that she desired, which could be pur-
chased by his immense wealth. After time
the young Jewess had BEEN taken into the
harem OF Ismail Khedive, and later had be-
come the wife of the lover of her youth,
Arab Pasha. The young husband was soon
ingratiated into Sadyk's favor, and he was
content TO occupy the estate of son-in-law to
the moufetich. From him the soldier gained
his antipalhy for the Frank rule in Egypt
and the idea of being defender of the faith
Of Islam. There may have been other rela-
lions between them, but if there were such
hey were never public.
The moufetich was "lost," and il the Khe-
lives article WAS to be believed, he had per-
shed as sacrifice 10 Frank interference
diula's hot temper was fired, and, full of the
1ellef that foreign influence had murdered |

yenge touched her mind. Immediately after
he disappearance of Sadyk sill of his prop
'rty was sold at auction. The proceeds,
which were very large were handed to the
urn them over 10 the State treasury. These |
moneys were 10 the hands of the minister's
lerk, and on the night of the 18th of Janu-
Try, 1877, the ministers Office entered, |
