any particular brand. He advised the
growers TO combine and TO ADOPT a GER
tain brand for each fruit of a certain grade.
He ref4rreI to the greatiuterest recently
aroused in Europe in California dried

He has enemies in the Divan, and his greed
will not allow him to purchase their good
will. He has resolved upon a cunning move
to win Abdul Hamids favor. The fame OF

her thither by one of his trusted agents.
SO precious gift will win back Abdul
| Hanid's favor for him, and he viii gain

happy isleD
| But will buy him off. will give him

that l own TO save my daughter. / have
much, and certainly enough to tempt his
avarice. My daughter and will go forth
as paupers rather than this shall be-
Give him What wilt thou give him 2n
repeated the priest with deep scorn. aAll
that thou hast he can take, when it SO pleases
MIN, and thy life into the bargain He may
| do oil this after he has taken Ida away. He
has noted thy wealth and prosperity for a
| long time, and many wonder that he has
spared thee as he has. / have warned thee
BEFORE
20, father, let Us fly here this very hour
to Greece, to Cyprus-anywhere beyond this
wretch's clutches. Let Us go with nothing
Dut the clothes we have on"
"In vain," groaned the priest. "Suleiman
has his men in every seaport of the island.
They have already received their orders to
watch for thee and prevent thy escape
sh0uldst thou attempt it. have thought
of everything while making my way hither,
which / did as soon as l was sure Of the
dreadful news. Our only hope lies in our
impregnable mountains and the unconquer-
able Sphakiois. Where are Basil Kanaris and
his Sphakiot kinsmen? Send man on thy
swiftest horse for him. Write him a note to
rally his kInsmen at once if he would save
thee, and bring them here as fast as their
long legs will carry them. Do it now. An
hour hence may be too late"
While Ida began writing the note her
father ordered maid to sound the conch-
shell, by which the men were summoned TO
die his fastest horse.
As the men came in Marcus Kallimakis
seized one Of the youngest, handed him por-
tion of food, thrust the note into his bosom,
and pushed him toward the horse, with
sharp, homely iDjunctions to make all pos
sible haste. The horses hoofs struck FIRE
from the roads fiints as he dashed away. He
disappeared in the ravine at the edge of the
farm. In another minute the watchers at
the house saw him speed up the slope of the
next hill. shot rang out from clump of
low trees, and puff of smoke arose. Then
they saw man in the uniform of Turkish
gendarm come out from the clump, look for
minute to see that the horse was really
dead, and then walk back to his covert,
reloading his gun as he went.
Holy Saints Paul and Titus" groaned
the priest. They are around us already.
But write other notes and send them by
young men on foot Someone can make his
way unseen through the fields and groves
and reach Basil Kanaris."
