from building to building, are straw

We pass through streets that seem

A TURKISH pIOGENEs.
A Laborer Who Preferred the Cesspool to
Public Office.


There is reason to believe, writes DIR.
Buckley, that, except in the supernat-
ural elements, the story of Arabian
Nights Entertainment" has been paral-
lelled over and over again in the history
of Constantinople. One of the Sultans
not so very long ago was in the habit of
going about like the famous Caliph
Haroun-al-Raschid in disguise. On one
occasion, passing a place where a man
was eXcavating a cesspool, he heard
him say to himself in a loud voice;
"Persevere, my soul, or l will plunge
thee into deeper filth than this"
A few hours afterward an officer ap-
preached the unfortunate man, and said
to him, "Come with me-" Horror took
possession of the laborer, who, when
found by the officer was dressed like a
gentleman, and was taking his ease in
a cafe. He tried to ascertain from the
person who had him in charge why he
was wanted; for some went into the Sc
cret place under the control of the gov
ernment and never came out, but no
satisfactory answer could be given.
After being detained for long time in
fearful suspense, he was at last brought
into the presence of very high official
and detained there. Finally he was
taken into the very presence of the Sui
ian. The Sultan was astonishcd to see
the man, who had been covered with
filth short time before, so well dressed
and intelligent in appearance. be said
to him; Are you the man whom saw

terward l cleanse myself and take mine

''But what did you mean when You
said: Perscvcre, my soul, or l win
plunge thee into deeper filth than thisn'
The man trembled, knowing that at a
word his head might be smitten from his
shoulders, Speak! said the Sultan. He
answered that man often says in anger
what his heart will not acknowledge.
"But what dost thou mean?"
He hesitated, and the Sultan reiterated
his command: "What dost thou mean2
What deeper filth is there than that in
which thou dost work?"
He still hesitated. The Sultan assured
him that No harm should come to him,
and the man then replied:
my work was disagreeable, and l
was almost tempted to leave it when l
thought, 4 am still free. am obliged
to tlatter no one; if give up this work
l may be compelled to take service
under the government, to live by fat
terry and falsehood, and so l said to my
soul 'Persevere, or l will plunge thee

The Sultan, according to the story,
was so pleased with this answer that he
gave him handsome present and al
lowed him to go away ummolested.-

the mild shadow of disapproval stealing
over Delia's face. If she had frankly
and brisllly expressed her opinion, then
taken it back prettily, he might have
fallen in love with her; but Della al
ways relapsed into meehness, and all
was lost. AS the days passed the doctor
began to miss his housekeeper "Why
does she not write? Cold-blooded Great
ure!"
The cold-blooded creature wrote. Her
letter was dated from Denver. 1t said:

The doctor laughed; he blessed him
self; he was delighted. The next even
ing he was on his way to Colorado.
One morning there came a tremen-
dous ring at the door. Della knew that
ring; she heard it all over her, and
turned pale.

hurried to the door,

"Where are you stopping?" asked

cat the Windsor
And she became as deeply interested
in the Windsor as if the doctor had
come expressly for the purpose of end
ing his days there. But DIR. Brinsley
was not altogether defenseless.
81 came to ask you if you would take
a ride with me. The carriage is at the
door. Come just as you are"
"Oh!" said Della; and she went.
The mountains were perfectly mag
nificent," as Della remarked, but the
doctor made quick work of them.
Glow soon will you be ready to come

81 don't know; intended to stay all

could not tell him what she thought.
She was glad he had come; she wanted
to go home with him; she loved him
now But did he love her? If he would
only be little more gentle, more'lover-
like. The doctor was not very gentle;
his manner was clear-cut and decided;
buff she only would have looked at
him.
"How soon will you come home?"
he repeated 81 want You to come
home"
Then slowly she lifted her eyes to
his. Was this the way he used to look
at Becky? Not quite; no one should
ever see that look again in the doctors
eyes. But Della did not know that,
and it seemed very good to her to be
looked at in this way.
81 will go whenever you like" she
answered at last.
Then the doctor did say something
gentle and lover-lille.
They were married already. Let us
hope they were happy ever afterward.

very happy. But it was now three
long years since poor Becky had been
resting in her quiet grave, and the
doctors friends had decided that he
needed some one to keep house for him.
After much persuading he had been
particularly introduced to Miss Della
Swan. What a name!'' thought the
doctor, but as he looked at her he saw
that she was fair, gentle, healthy and
twenty-six. In moment of enthu-
siastic selfshness he had proposed to
her, and in a moment of enthusiastic
devotion she had accepted him.
They We're married. Everybody said:
sob, how much nicer she was than that
other woman!' She was very popular
with everybody, but she was not at all
popular with the doctor.
To him "that other woman" was still
all the world and the brightness thereof.
Della had married "from sense of
duty" and deserved to be punished; but
1t seemed to her that her punishment
was greater than she deserved. She
would not have wished that her hus-

band should forget the wife of his
youth, but she had expected that he
would have some regard for the woman
whom he had invited to preside over
his household, and she had hoped to
make him comfortable; ''to do her
duty by him." as she expressed it. Part
of that duty she had performed in the
most admirable manner; never had the
doctors house been so clean; never had
his shirt bosoms shone with such luster;
but the heart which beat behind them
she had been unable to conquer.
At the end of six months of such
life the doctor noticed that Della looked
pale and thin.
"You need little more fresh air" he
prescribed, "and shall take you out as
often as l can"
Not without some inward fear, but
attired in her very best, Della sat in the
buggy by the side of her lord. 1t was
balmy spring afternoon; nature looked
so fresh, so bright, so happy, that lit
tie of this happiness breathed itself
into Delia's heart. The doctor must
also have been touched by these benign
influences, for never before had he been

she absolutely laughed She sat little
nearer to him, her cheeks bloomed,
and she was beginning to feel quite

it, they happened to ride past very
