HOW THE GUEST TOOK IT.

Naturally enough the guests of the
hotel were somewhat unhinged on ac-
count of the unusual scenes. The
ladies, particularly were in all sorts of
nervous tremors during the siege. The
front doors of the hotel were securely
barred and remained so until the per-
son on the outside satisfied the porter
that he was a friend.
The circumstances of the affair as
related by the parties concerned have
been given in the composite. Mr.. Park
wants possession of his own premises
but Mr. Fisher claims to have a lease
on them until December. Steps are
now being taken TO have the difficulty
settled by legal method.

London. April 24-(Copyrighted. 1897,
by the Associated Press.)-The last few
days have developed a dramatic situa-
ton.
The sudden removal of Edhem Pasha,
the Turkish commander-in-ch and
the fact that he has been replaced by
Osman Pasha, the hero of Plevna, has
caused great surprise, in view of the
glowing accounts which the correspond
ents in the field sent out of Edhem Pa
sha's brilliantly-conceived plan of cam
paign, which was reported as working
like a machine, and which gave the
world the impression that Turkey had
found in him a second Won Moltke.

Tales or Hoary Ola Egypt.

Many centuries before recorded his.
tory begins the old Egyptians had de-
veloped religion. an architecture and
a mode of life of which imperishable
traces are found to-day. Before
Herodotus wrote or Homer sung, be-
fore the sacred songs of IIindostan were
dreamed of, before the first books of
the Bible were put into writing, the
Egyptian hieroglyphics recorded on
the walls of their temples and tombs
or on the scrolls of their papyri the mys-
teries of their religion, the doings of
their kings or the stories of their
chief reciters. Maspero, the great
French Egyptologist, first gave these
stories TO the modern world, but to the
skill and scholarship of Flinders Petrie
the world owes the first useful and en-
tertainiDg form in which the earliest
romances of the childhood of the world
appear in English. There are many of
these stories. In them appear the
prototypes of characters in fiction that
have been used by writers in all ages
and all languages. In one story told
by King Khufu's reciter at command
of that monarch, who even in his early
days was aweary of the hollow splendor
and tedious ceremonials of his court,
appears the original of "Sinbad."-N.Y

CHAPTER XIV.

If any man more miserable and de-
jected than John Kenyon lived in the
broad Dominion of Canada he was. in
deed, person to be pitied. After hav-
ing sent his cabiegram to Wentworth
he went to his very cheerless hotel, and
next morning when he woke up he knew
that Wentworth would have received
that message, but that the chances were
ten thousand to one that he could not
get the money in time, even if he could
get it at all. Still he resolved to stay in
OTTAWA, much as he detested the place.
until the hour of option expired. Then,
he thought, he would look around
among the mines, and see II he could not
get something to do in the management
of one of them. This would enable him
TO make some money and to help pay
of the indebtedness which he and
Wentworth would owe in London as a
result of their disastrous speculation.
He felt SO depressed that he did what
most other Engishmen would have
done in his place; he took a long walk.
He stood on the bridge over the Ottawa
river and gazed for a little while at the
Chandiere falls, with the mist rising
from the chasm into which the waters
plunged. Then he walked along the
other side of the river among the big
sawmills and huge interminable piles of
lumber, with their grateful piney smell.
By and by he found himself in the coun-
try, and then the forest closed in upon
the bad road on which he walked. New
ertheless he kept on and on, without
needing where he was going. Here
and there he saw eiearings in the woods.
and a log shanty, or perhaps bann.
The result of all this was that, being
healthy man. he soon developed an
enormous appetite, which forced itself
upon his attention in spite of his de-
preston. He noticed the evening was
closing around him, and so was glad to
come to a farmhouse that looked better
than the ordinary shanty he had left
behind. Here he asked for food, and
soon sat down to plentiful meal The
coarseness of which was more than
compensated for by the excellence O.
his appetite. After dinner he began to
realize how tired he was, and felt aston
ished to hear from his host how far he
was from Ottawa.
You can't get there tonight" said
the farmer; ''it is no use your trying.
You stay with us tonight, and I'll take
you in Tomorrow. I'm going there in
the afternoon" And so Kenyon re-
mained all night, and slept the dream.

The Roenteen Ray .t Court.

The queen of Portugal is a notable
zealot in medical studies and conse-
quently takes great interest in all new
discoveries bearing upon the art of heal

with the Roentgen rays, and her cour.
ladies have served her as subjects for
her practical experiments. The sight of
their own skeletons, photographed by
aid of the rays, according to a story in
Berlin contemporary, has produced a N
unexpected revolution in the fashions
OF the court. The ladies were terrified
when they perceived the actual results

bit of paper in her pocket. once more
got into her hanson and drove TO Went
worth's Office. Again she took the only
easy chair in the room. Her face was
very serious, and Wentworth, the mo
ment he saw it, said to himself: "She
has failed"

yon?' she asked.
YES"

him what was wanted? Cablegrams

Have you had an answer yet?"
.Oh. no: you see it takes long time
to get there because there are so many
changes from the end OF the cable to
the Office at which Kenyon is. And
then again, you see, they may have to
look for him. He may not be expecting
"A message; in fact, he is sure not to be
expecting any. From his own cable
gram to me, it Is quite evident he has
given up all hope"
.'Show me that cablegram, please"
Wentworth hesitated. 1T is hardly
,ouched in language you win like to
read" he said.
THAT does ! matter. Show il TO
me. must see all the documents in the
case" He handed her the paper, which
she read in silence. and gave it back to
him without word.

~No news reinbe saia

"No news yet" he said
This is terrible" she answered.
Suppose he has left Ottawa and start
ed for homer"
II do not think he would do that.
Still, l imagine he would think there
was no reason for staying in Ottawa.
Nevertheless, l know Kenyon well
enough to believe that he will wait
there till the last minute of the option
has expired in the hope that something
may happen. He knows. of course, that

1T would be useless to cable again -
Quite. II that message does not
reach him none will"
As he was speaking a boy entered the
room with telegram in his hand. Its
contents were short and to the point.
"Cablegram received. Kenyon"
well, that's all right" said Went
worth. Now shall cable that we have
the money and tell him to identify him
self at the bank, so that there will be no
formalities about the drawing of it to
detain him." Saying this, Wentworth
pulled the telegram forms toward him.
and after considerable labor managed
TO concoct a dispatch that seemed to
satisfy him.
Don't spare money on it," said the
young lady. "Be sure and make IL
plain to him"
II think that will do: don't you?"
YES" she answered, after reading
the dispatch, that will do"
Now" she said, "here is the check.
l will wait here while you do all that is
necessary to cable the money, or had
l better go and return again to see If
everything is all right?"
If you don't mind, just sit where
you are. You may lock the door, If you
like and you will not be disturbed"
1t was an hour before Wentworth re-
turned, but his face was radiant. "We
have done everything we can" he said.
The money is at his order there, if the
cablegram gets over before twelve
o'clock Tomorrow, as think il will"
Very well, then. Good-by," said the
girl, holding out her hand with smile.

gave the money to buy the mine"
But is he never to know it, Miss
Longworth
Perhaps not. But if he is to know,
am the person to tell him"
II quite agree with you there; and |
shall respect your confidence"
Now, what time" said the young
lady, looking at her watch, "ought we to
get an answer from Mr.. Kenyon?"
"Ah, that, as said before, no one can
tell"
Il suppose, then, the best plan is to
send the money at once, or put il in the
way of being sent, to some bank in

Yes, you can. You will have To

"Ah, see. have not my check bool:

check to the bank and / will return.
There will be time enough, suppose,
before the closing hour OF the bank"
'Yes, there will be plenty of time.
OF course, the sooner we get the money
away the better"
Il will return shortly after lunch.
Perhaps you will have heard from Mr..
Kenyon by then. If anything comes
sooner, will you send me telegram?
Here is my address,"
II win do that" said Wentworth, as
he bade her good-by.
As soon as lunch was over Miss Long,
worth. with her check book, went again
to Wentworth's Office. When she en-
tered he shook his head.
