The morning call., 1892-06-05

behind the parts of the ship that afforded
refuge, and as we stood waiting for the
ship to embark we suddenly heard a great
noise and shouting, and the Sheykh Rrasped
me and pulled me aside just as there came
rushing toward US q mighty chariot, ike
unto the car of torture of the unbelievers in
the land of certain of the inhdels. and 1t
seized upon my memiOok and threw MIN
down, but he drew himself quickly away
and escaped, save for one hand, which was
crushed beneath a wheel of the car, which
WAS loaded with merchandise. My menu
look fell down in fit from the greatness of
the pain, and remained in this condition for
the space of the whole voyage. When we
arrived at the great city would have stald
by him.. but the crowd poured out with
mighty rush, and without the gates stood
great host Of men who offered battle, and
fought and thrust ana shouted their battle
cries, and would have lain hold upon me,
bodily, and borne me away, but Tor the
Sheykh. who fought valantly, and rescued
me, though sorely spent and beaten, and we
arrived upon a busy street. amid q clamor
OF people. and 10! my memlOOk was not
with us. nor near US, and | saw not aught
of him for the space Of 10 days. when he re-
turned 10 me, having lost his right hand, by
reason of his having been taken from the
crowd and carried 10 the blood letters who
had taken from him his hand that had been
crushed, aud he coutinueth with me TO this
day, having not any hand save one.
And IN that city also was great strife, and
the merchants and dealers in the market
places and those who were DESTROYS OF
bringing merchandise from afar or of
building up the country by immigration
were incenSed against that great fiery
demon thai held all in fear by his ferocity
in Staying those who opposed him, and
would carry nor them nor their meTchan-
disc, save after il had received eXt0rtlonate
hire, and the merchants said to the garden
g " n sod nrOF-
uctS. which they sent afar off: Come, let
us JUN hands and fight this fiery monster
and subdue him, ana put an end to his op-
preston in the land; but when they
would have done this the monster sent forth
his emissaries, who went among the
people without the city, saying: These
merchants desire not your friendship save
TO destroy you and to take of your sub
stance and to ruin your business and to re-
duce yOu to poverty, that they may be en-
riched. JOIN not them, therefore, bat
rather remain with me, and | will utterly
destroy them for you and the gain shall be
yours; but IL you join these Stltf-necked
and rebeli0us folks | will miserably destroy
you all, and withdraw from among you and
leave you to your des0latOn. Know that
this strife and contention among you injur-
eth you in the eyes of other nations. and
Won are an object Of shame among them by
reason of your discomfort. Keep you
therefore still, lest other people come to
imagine you are a people OF quarrel
some nature and untOwaTd spirit, and
your name become a TeprOach among
the nations" And unto the EmeerS
and weeZeeTs and lords of the empire the
monster said, IF you listen to the COM
plants of the people and do not my will
and become the aiders of those who would

reduce YOU from office, and you shall be-
