suddenly and with such force that the
dahabeaa was nearly dashed aground,
and the palm trees bent before the blast.
1t was a sandstone. The men threw
themselves fiat or the deck.
'Unfurl the sail" yelled Mehemet.
"Aloft, you log" he cried to the boy
whose perilous duty it was to go to the
extreme end of the slender yard-arm.
The boy hesitated, as well he might;
but there was look on his masters face
that he dare not dsobey.
Cut loose" he shouted: and they
| plunged forward in the night against
the current of the Nile.
1t was the act of a madman-a daha-
| beah in sandstone under full. sail
| but that cry of Yale, Yale" had made
| Mehemct a mailman. Fortunately the
| Nile takes a straight course for several
miles after it sweeps by Korosko; but
as Mehemet grasped the tiller he cared
| not whether it was ten miles of cata-
ract. He saw the launch ahead, and tn
| thought rushed through his mind to
| run it down.
But that couldn't be. The force of
the stoi nj on the large lateen sail made
every timber in the boat creak and
groan. The faces of the crew had a
terrified look. With teeth clenched and
lips compressed Mehemet stood at the
tiller, and the bowling of the wind as
| they sped on through the night seemed
TO suit the pulsations of his own heart
They were gaining on the launch.
If only the storm held out they would
beat it--or get wrecked.
On and on they rushed. They were
neck and neck when the dahabeah ran
up nearly amidships on one of the hid
den volcanic rocks that fill certain por-
tons OF the Nile. Yale. Yale" came
the snecring cry from the launch.
Swing her broadside," yelled Hassan.
Let the current catch her" The men
were half paralyzed with terror, but
the sweeps were got out. The great
boat glided off.
The launch was now quarter Of a
mile ahead, and the lights in the Greek
wine shops of Korosko could be seen in
| the distance. The tierceness of the wind
seemed redoubled. AS the dahabeah
swept by the launch into the little natu-
raj harbor at Korosko there again rose
satirical yell of Yale, Yale" But
| this time it came from the EgyStian
craft-and Mehemet, who had rushed
his boar half ashore, ran madly through
the dust-driven street into the quaint
old fort. and cried in imperfect English
Il have got a telegram"
That is how the sirdar of Egypt and
the AngIo-Egyptian army first heard Of
the late outbreak.

THE FISH WERE FRESH.
But the Purchaser Was a Great deal
Fresher

Up in the Eleventh ward a thrifty
German makes a good living peddling
1--we carp. The fish are hauled about
the streets in small tank set upon
wheels, the whole outfit being pro-
PEELED by the energy generated from
the Germans muscles. If there is one
thlng more than another the peddler
prides himself on, it is that his wares.
beng alive, are necessarily fresh.
The other morning the carp mer-
chant was stopped by woman who. if
the well-flled baskets which hung from
her fat arms were any indication, was
on her way home from market. The
woman leaned over the cart and sized
up the swimming fish carefully.
Are they fresh ?" she finally asked.
The look of disgust that spread over
the Germans countenance would have
htted well upon the features of a sound
money democrat who is being told that
free-coinage candidate is sure to be
nominated at the Chicago convention.
But he choked down his indignation.
Yah; dey ish fresh" he replied.
Then lie reached down into the tank
and pulled out sample, which he held
up for the woman to see.
She gazed upon it for a moment, her
nose high in the air. She wasn't salts
s t h hoy YER, and the next moment
showed one of her own fair hands Into
the tank and grabbed a carp by the
gills. She yanked it up in the air after
the manner of one who doesn't propose
to be fooled in SO important matter as
buying q fish, and held it at arms
length for inspection.
At least, she started to hold it out.
Unfortunately she had picked up The
biggest fish in the cart. 1t was carp
that didn't care much about womc n,
anyway. and particularly a woman who
considered herself well enough ac-
quainted to run her fingers through his
breathing apparatus. He at once be-
gan to go through a contortion act of
the most intricate and vigorous descrip-
ton, his mouth wide open and his tail
marking out three-foot circles at the
rate of 40 a minute.
The suddenness with which the fish
started in on this programme was too
much for the woman. In her hurry to
let go Of the carp She forgot about her
baskets and their contents. As her
arms few up the baskets flew down. In
the Eleventh ward the sidewalks are as
hard as ii not harder than in any of the
other wards, and eggs have very little
show in a contest with them. There
were eggs in one basket--two dozen of
them.
Unless the rain has washed th-m
away, those eggs are down on the Elev-
enth ward sidewalk yet. They wouldn't
have been of very much use to the wom-
an after they struck the walk. except as
scrambled eggs. In the other basket
there were Strawberries and a steak and
a roll of butter.
All of these were saved from the gem
eral wreck, however, with the exception
of the steak. An enterprising Eleventh
ward dog Toasted upon that.
The woman didn't stay to buy any
fish. Perhaps she had lost her appetite
for carp. Anyway, she gathered up the
remnants of her marketing and sailed
majestically down the street.
The fish peddler gazed after her mo-
ment Then he churkled to himself:
yah: dose carp ish fresh-but not so
fresh as dot Nomans, Ply chimminy!"-

complain that prices are below a parity With

tations are weaker, except for Havana. The
demand for iron and steel Is Disappointing
and quotations for Bessemer pig have been
shaded further. Unreasonable weather has
had an unfavorable influence on sales OF
clothing and other staples. while labor dis
checked the demand. The request for ium-
