1t did not take long for Madame Blanc
to decide in the affirmative. To be sure,
she would have to turn Mussulman and
become a Persian subject. But are not
women in all lands constantly renouncing
their citizenship and abjuring their creed
for a husband, title and a crown? Did
not certain great king of her own coun-
try say, THE crown is worth a mass"
and should she hesitate about such trifles
when she could exchange starvation for
afiiuence and rank? Not she And thus,
when the great Mustofi-ul- Mamolek IN
vited the French lady to share a frac-
tional portion of his bed and board and
an undivided fourth of his affections. she
bade long farewell to church and coun-
try, and under the name of Fathimeh re-
paired to the anderoon of the Persian no.
bleman. Her little son and daughter ac-
companied her, and the former was with
out loss of time transformed into a little
Mussulman.
In a climate so balmy as that of Persia
the bride found it agreeable rather than
otherwise TO exchange the elaborate up
holstery of a European woman's dress for
the jeweled anklets and bracelets and the
long plated braids of hair festooning the
shoulders which form the major portion
of the indoor costume of the fair danes
of Persia. 1t was not unpleasant to re-
cline on soft diyans in this airy costume
by the side of musical fountains, with a
troop of obsequious servants to run at the
clap of her hands, and enjoy the con-
sciousness of being one of the first ladies
in the land.
But gradually the awakening came
The lady Fathiemeh realized that the lib
erty she had once enjoyed was gone for
ever. Her associate wives did not miss
what they had never known. But to her
it was quite otherwise. As the wife of
such an august parsonage she was under |
even stricter restraint than the Persian |
women of the middle and lower classes.
of course, closely veiled when |
in the streets, they can at least go where |
they please, shop in the bazaars. or resort |
at certain hours to the public bath, which /
in that country is equivalent to a woman's /
club or Sorosis. But these pleasures were
forbidden to the wives of the Mustofi. /
They never went abroad except in close
carriages, attended by numerous ennuchs
and guards. and could neither enjoy the
exquisite happiness of shopping or gos-
slipping in the public bath. 1t is true that
The Mustofi had an elegant private steam
bath attached to his anderoon, lined with
beautiful glazed tiles, such as would have
the connolsseurs of Europe
where such objects dart are properly APP
oreciated; and they could sport IN that
7oluptuous retreat at their leisure.
But these and other luxuries, which lost ]

half their value because she could not dis.
play her possession of them before the
world, scarcely compensated Fathimeh
hhsnum for the loss of her freedom.
1artly in the fruitless hope of possibly i'm
proving her condition in this respect.
partly to relieve her dreadful ennui, and
partly, let us hope, because she desired to
monopolize for herself the man she had
begun to love, Fathimeh at last allowed
herself to resort TO a most reprehensible
course of action. She entered on a delib-
crate plan TO usurp the position of her
benefactress in the household and in the
affections of their lord. Her weapons
were OF a kind most dangerous to an inn
pressionable man-insinuations and blan-
dishments. With the one she under
mined the influence of Leila Khanum;
with the other she secured the influence
for herself.
The Mustof, being a we'll intentioned
man, entirely unconscious of having given
any occasion for evil conduct on the part
of Leila Khanu:n. ard more versed in
statecraft than in the pursuit of the un-
movable, to which domain the inscruta-
BILE nature of woman belongs, little sus-
pected what a web of deceit had been
woven around him. Unwilling to proceed
to extremities, he simply withdrew his at
tentlons from Leila Khanum. removed
her TO remote quarter of the anderson,
and elevated her French rival to her place.
After time the greatly abused Leila
hhanum became aware of the source of
the malevolent influences which had
wrought her downfall, and in her turn in
trigued for restoration to her former hon.
ors and privileges. Suffice it to say that
she was finally able to convince her hus-
band how basey he had been deceived.
Stung with remorse, he left the French
woman to the mercy of the proud lady
she had injured. In former days, or in
the hands of some women her life would
have paid the forfeit. As it was, she was
driven to live with the servants and per-
form the most degrading duties of the
lowest menials. For full year she en-
dured this terrible punishment, in the
of slaves who despised .

That very evening the lady Leila said to
her husbands: Il wish to ask of Won a
