the land"
These fattering offers made no i'm
preston upon Ayesha, and finding that
Nassau, although she repeatedly begged
of him not to address her, as it was not
seemly for Mahommedan maiden to
be seen conyersing with one of the OPP
posite SEX continued to prosecute her
with his attentions, she as a last re-
source threatened to appeal to her faith
er for protection.
This threat had the desired effect
the old man had heavy hand and Mas
sar did not care to feel its weight
Henceforth, he annoyed Ayesha no
more. even seeming to ignore her pres
ence when chance threw him into her
way.
But if he avoided the girl, it was not
the same with old Ali, her father, whose
society he courted, and with whom he
so skillfully ingratiated himself, that
by degrees he gained his entire con-
fidence and esteem by the pretence Of
virtues he did not possess. At last the
old man came to believe that Nassau
was a much-wronged man, who would,
if it were only possible, repair much of
the misery wrought by his master
Meanwhile, Nassau laughed in his
sleeve at the old mans credulity, and
anxiously waited for an opportunity to
get him into his power.
Fortune, which often seems to favor
the designs of the wicked, at last did
so in this case. A heavy fall of rain
flooded the country and washed away
the greater part of the young crops.
Tho season not being too advanced, it
was still possible to sow the lands
which had suffered over again; but
many of the peasantry were reduced
to utter poverty, and had not the where

in the fields to help her parents to exc
out modest living, as they were very
poor. She was we'll satisfied and
thought herself sufficiently rewarded
when, from time to time, her father be-
slowed few piasters upon her, which
she boarded up until she had sufficient
to purchase a silver bangle or two with
which to adorn her person on holidays.
Numerous suitors, attracted by her
diligence as well as by her beauty, pre-
sented themselves, but none was looked
upon with favor; Ayesha preferred
she was only in her sixteenth year-to
remain with her aged parents.
1t is time, daughter mine" said ner
mother, that you were thinking or get
ting married; you have rejected many
good offers without any reason. Your

tect you! I was married when l was

hurry to leave you; besides, if l have
to work, prefer that my labor should

who may, as likely as not, make me
drudge and slave. You know that
nearly all my suitors have been men
in our condition, whose only reason for
taking a wife is that they may have
someone to help them in tilling their
fields. besides preparing their meals
for them"
This reply generally closed the dis
cussion, and the mother sighed to think
how different Egypts daughters were,
to what they had been in her time.
With her father, it was different!
Ayesha was his only child and of too
much help to him that he should in
any way attempt to influence a decis-
ion which would deprive him os her
valuable assistance.
So matters went on, and by degrees
the suitors, perceiving that the girls
mind to remain single, at least for the
present, was not to be changed, fell
off.
Yes, all except one named Nassau.
He was the bailiff of wealthy land
owner who lived in Cairo, visiting his
estates at rare intervals, and then for
as short time as possible. Few of the
tenants had ever seen him, but all
agreed that he was harsh landlord,
and that his riches had been amassed
by usury and by grinding down the
poor peasantry for miles and miles
around. 1t was not to be wondered at
then. that he. was cordially hated by
all, and that Nassau too came in for
full share of the odium cast upon his
master. Yet his love for Ayesha was
sincere, and might perhaps make
better man OF him.
He pressed his suit very earnestly,
pointing out to Ayesha how much bet
ter would be her lot as his wife, than
her present position. GAS my wife,"
said he, there will no longer be need
for you to toll in the fields, carry heavy
jars of water and help to prepare meals.
On the contrary, it is you who will be
waited upon, have servants at your

A Question of Whether 1t Was Sold on
Commission or for Cash.

A Question of Whether 1t Was Sold on
Commission or for Cash.
The case of Jane Smith VS.. Pattee &
Lett Co. occupied Judge Johnson's court
yesterday.
The amended complaint of the plaintiff
claims that in 1894 the defendants agreed
with her that if she would permit them
to ship her fruit to the East they would
pay her 10 cents for each box OF pears up
to July 10th, and 60 cents box after that
date; 90 cents a box for apples. 81 a box
for Tragedy prunes, 30 cents a box for
plums or prunes and so cents box for
peaches.
That, in accordance with such agree
ment. she delivered to them 135 boxes of
pears prior to July 18th. 1867 boxes after
ward, crates of Tragedy prunes, 225 of
peaches, 2z3 of apples and ga of plums,
amounting in all TO Sl,7S2 70, for which
defendants are still indebted to her.
The defendants denied that they had
ever agreed to pay the prices mentioned,
and claimed that they agreed to ship
the fruit on commission, deducting from
1t freight, commissions, etc, and averred
that they guaranteed the prices named
for all fruit shipped by them for her
prior to July 10Th only. That they re-
celVed the fruit named and sold II un-
der that agreement, and that they re-
ceived for it 500 81. That the losses
sustained and the expenses and cash paid
TO plaintiff amounted to So04 II, and that
she Is therefore indebted to them SIS 90,
for which they ask Judgment.

and Devlin u Devlin attorneys for the
