Romantic Character of Arabians.
prnnl.arooasa lTr,r-f,,e


The romantic character Of the Arab
race is too well known toned more than a
passing allusion. The power Of Muham-
mad lay in great measure in the charm Of
his poetry; and the Anacreontic bards Of
Arabia were famous among their fellows
long before his time. The imagination is
excited by the wild landscape of the
desert in a manner which the dweller in
cultivated lands can little appreciate.
The fancy of the Arab peoples the wilder
ness with ghostly and demoniac forms;
and the silence which Expresses the mind
in such vast sOlitudes, where the cry Of
the eagle or the bark of the jackal is
re-eehoed by the naked crags, can only be
known BY those who have wandered alone
in such a region. Thus the ghoul, the
qfreet, the ghostly wild goat, under which
form the demon appears to the hunter.
are creations Of the imagination ever
present to the Arab mind. The tribes
who love to tell the wondrOus stories Of
Zir and Jandabah, the fables Of Lokman,
and the songs of Antar, are men OF char
acter very different from the hopeless and
timid peasants Of the Delta. The Koran
appeals to their imagination in degree
Of which the JelidhiH are incapable; and
its legends, its fine poetic images, its oft
repeated descriptions Of paradise and Of
hell, its claim to be assreading made plain
in the Arab tonguev TO unlettered men by
an unlettered prophet, appeal to the
Bedawi of to-day, just as they appealed to
his ancestors twelve centuries ago.

Frank laughed at the idea of Mrs. Alb
bot kneeling at his feet, and had not the
least intention of sending Millicent's adj
dress.
He saw little of any one for the next few
days except Millicent. His poor friend,
Mr.. John Jones, called several times, but
each time found him absent.
'sYour master is neglecting his bust
ness" he said sternly to Franks small
clerk.
"GOt something pleasanter to attend to, y
said the youth with wink.
He was a sharplad, and able to form his
own opinions.
One day toward the end of the week
Mr.. Jones did succeed in catching his
young friend, and, moreover, in smoking
the whole of a long cigar in his society.
@Look here, Abbot" he said, ''What's
up with you? Are you going to be mar
ried?1
yes" said Frank, 81 am.''
Thought So" said MIR. Jones. ..WhenW
ssNext Tuesday," answered Frank as
laconically as his strange friend.
StGirl got moneyW
s|No; poorer than ann
THAT'S bad. Tell me all about it."
Every man in Franks plight likes a
friend to unburden his heart to; so Mr..
Jones had the whole history OF his love
-
vened down to the present happy time.
Frank waXed so eloquent that his friends
eyes glistened and when the history was
finished, he grasped the young mans hand
and wished him good wishes which were
certainly heartfelt.
Il have favor to ask" he said, in a
very humble way, quite different from his
usual energetic style Of talking. 81
haven't known you long, so it's presump-
ton on my part. ButPye grown very fond
of you. May l come TO the church and see
you marriedT
ssYou may be best man, if you like; OK
YOU can give the bride away. 1t will
save us having recourse to the sexton.
Only one condition, though" continued
/ Frank, struck by sudden thought:
ssthat is, you don't go making absurd
| presents"
II must give you something"
ssGive me box Of cigars them"
ssVery WELL" said Mr.. Jones. s'But
you're disgustingly proud"
SO it was settled. To Franks great re-
| lief-for he disliked paining the man by
refusing anything--Mr. Jones brought him
box Of his big cigars, and on the Tues
day morning accompanied him to the
quiet town church, where in due time
Millicent appeared, accompanied by her
distant relative. Mr.. John Jones acted
in his twofold capacity with great deco
rum. Frank had laughingly told Milli-
cent Of the strange arrangement he had

world for himself"
A weight was lifted from Mrs. Abbots
mind She caught the situation at once.
Three or four years separation What
might not happen. Although she strove
70 speak calmly, as great lady should
do. she could not keep q certain eager
ness out OF her voice. stBHt viii you not
correspond during that timer
This was another important question.
Again Millicent paused and considered
her answer. 81 viii neither write nor be
written to. If, eventually. L marry your

manner-so pleasant that considering the
respective positions Of herself and Miss
heeRe, il should have been irresistible.

eision is all / could expect. You nsIst
forgive me If, with my views for my sons
career, have said anything hasty or IN
just. viii now wish you good morning;
and J. am sure, had we met under other
circumstances we might have been great
friends.''
Whatever Of dignity or majesty Mrs.
Abbot dropped as she put on this appear
ance or friendliness was taken up BY the
girl che took no notice Of her visitors
outstretched hand. She rang the bell for
the servant, and bowed coldly and laugh
t1ly as Mrs. Abbot swept from the room.
But bravely as she had borne herself
under the eyes Of her inquisitOr, when the
rumble Of the carriage wheels died away
from the quiet street, Millicent Keene
threw herself on the sofa and burst into

unappropriated and unfinished, that this
Alliance, through their committee, ask
the Board of County Commissioners, at

Gent amount of county funds to finish

members of the Mover County Agricul-
tural Society for their meetings prepare
tory to holding fair At this place next
