The Turkish Dray.

There are no drays proper in Con-
stantinOple. All pOrterage is done by
hand. and, while it is slower, costs no
more, on account of the cheapness of
laLOr. The loads carried by the ham
mails or porters are remarkable. ThoSe
who work singly have an apparatus
made of wool, padded and covered
with leather. which is held on by Il
strap and serves to support their loads.
1t is curved like 4 section of corn.c.
and bent to fit individual wearers, at
cording TO their exterior development.
In siz. it approNimatcs to Il Mexican
saddle. and it weighs nearly IS much
as 4 sack of wheat. Why a man should
burden himself with such q weight be-
fore taking on his real load is some
thing no white man can find ont. Tut
it is the way their fathers d it. and
their fathers fathers before them, and
that is reason enough for the Oriental
mind. 1t would be considered in Il
way disrcspect:ul to their ancestors to
question their knowledge of the best
modes of doing things. and it is morally
certain that it would not be prudent Tor
Turkish hopeful to attempt to improve
ol tuC Wv III Ittiftl was kItb'tISAhS
during the Old mans lifetime. Parental
government in Turkey is patriarchal in
its limits, and the old gentleman con-
scientiouSly thrash their maXims into
the younger twigs till the latter get big
enough to turn the tables. Hence the
probability is that So long as there DO
Turks there will be packs for the por-
tiers of the same antique pattern As those
now in use. The mammals do o walk
upright with their loads as the porters
do in other countries. Trey bend for
ward Till the back is almost horizontal
and rest the hands on the front of the
legs for support. TIE load is piled the

times to a height of six or seven feet.

case-On his back. besides the Pack that

class be wore only a thin blue blouse
and overalls, and as lac walked the
p~erspiration dropped from his forehead

work in this way from seven to nine
hours a dav and consider it large pay I o
get ten cents for doing it. Many of
them do not make as much and yet sup

made without Yeast. together with a
little fruit. Occasionally they get a lit

Old Bailey barr;ster. His friends
feared that Mr.. Whittlestaff would do
some injury either to himself or Mr..
Compass. But no one dared to speak to
him on the subject.
Gradually he returned to a gentle
cheerfulneSS of life. bat he never burst
out again into the violent exercise Of
shooting \ pheasant. After that his
mother died, and again he was called
upon to endure 4 lasting sorrow. But
on this occasion the sorrow was of that
kind which is softened by having been
expected. He rarely spoke of his
mother-had never, up to this period at
which our tale finds him. mentioned his
mothers name to any of those about
him. OF Catherine Bailey. who had
falsely given herself up to so poor a
creature as Compass, after having re-
ceived the poetry of his vows. he could
endure no mention whatever; and
though Mrs. Baggett knew the whole
story, no attempt at naming the name
was ever made.
Such had been the successes and the
failures OF Mr.. Whittlestaff life when
Mary l.awrie came to his household.
The same idea had occurred to him rs
to Mrs. Baggett- He was not young.
because he was fifty; he was not an old
man, because he was only fifty. He
had seen Mary Lawrie often enough.
and had become sufficiently acquainted
| with her to feel sure that if he could
win her she would be a loving COM
panion. He had turned it all over in
his mind. and had been now eager and
now baShful. On more than one &C.
casion he had declared that he would
be whipped if he would have anything
to do with her.
To him to ask and be denied would be
a terrible pain. AMI as the girl did re-
ceive from his hands all she had-her
bread and meat, her bed, her very
clotheS-would it not be better for her
that he should stand to her in the place
of a father than \ lover? She migat
come to accept it all and not think
much of it, if he would take the guise
of an old man. But were he to appear
before her As a sutton would she refuse
him? Looking forward, he could per-
ceive that there was room for infinite
grief if he should make the attempt
and things should not go well with
him.
But the more he saw of her he was
sure also that there WAS for in.
finite Joy. He compared her to Cath
crime Bailey, and could but feel that in
his youth he had been blind. Catherine
had been a f%air-haired girl, and had
nov blossomed out into the anxious
mother of ten ~fair-haired children. The
anxiety had no doubt come from the
evil courses of her husband. Had she
been c%ontented to be Mrs. Whittle>ta!.
there might have been no such look of
care. and there might perhaps have
been less than ten children: but she
would still have been fair haired.
blowsv and fat. Mr.. Whittlestatf had
found an opportunity OF seeing her and
her flock, unseen by them. and a por-
ton OF his agony had subsidized. Still
there was the fact that she had prom
ised to be mis-, and had become a thing
sacred in his sight. and had then given
herself up to the arms of Mr.. Compass.
But now if Mary Lawrie would accept
him, how blessed might be the evening
of his life!
