Five Hundred Years Ago He Taught
His Visitors How to Make It's
Much Revered.

Mocha coffee is not alone the name of
a kind of coffee, but also of a port in
the district of Yemen on the Red Sea-
The patron saint of both was Sheik
Schoedeli, whose memory is venerated
by the Mohammedans almost as much
as that of Mohamet himself
One day, 500 years ago, a. vessel from
the Indies cast anchor in the port.
Those on board had noticed hut and
they diSembarked to see what it was
The sheik (for it was his dwelling) re-
ceiVed the strangers kindly and gave
them some coffee to drink, for he was
very fond of it and attributed great
virtue to it. The travellers, who had
never seen coffee before, thought that
this hot drink would be a cure for the
plague. Schoedeli assured them that
through his prayers and the use of this
drink that not only would the plague
be stopped, but also that if they would
unload their merchandise they could
make a good profit by it. The owner of
the ship was impressed by this strange
man, especially as he found the coffee
SO palatable. On the same day a large
number of Arabs. came to listen to the
hermit's preaching, and among them

visitor returned home and, telling his
strange adventure and profitable trad
ing, many of his compatriots came to
visit the sanity Schoedeh.
A beautiful mosque was built over
the tomb of Schoedeli after his death,
and his name will never be forgotten
as long as Mocha coffee is drunk. All
of the Moslem coffee-house keepers
venerate him, mentioning his name in
their morning devotions. Travellers say
that in the town of Mocha or Ocha, as
the Arabs call it, men take their oath

ON The LONG TRAIL.
The Story Of Desperately Exciting Cattle Drive Across
the Great Plains.

1t was a proud day for Lorne, the
young foreman of the Circle Bar ranch.
when he started on his first drive
with a herd of 5000 cattle for the north
ern shipping point
1t was his orders to take the herd
to st. Louis and pass through the
Ozark mountains or foothills The
herd was tractable during the earlier
days of the course, but as the cattle
went on they became more nervous,
and it was with difficulty that the
herders could keep them within the
lines of the nightly roundup.
Once, when they had been compelled
to ride constantly around the herd
from evening far into the night, Lorne
went to the head of the herd to see
what was the disturbing cause.
AS he sat on his horse he heard the
call of wolf to the right, answered
by another from the left. Something
about the sound was unnatural, and
ne listened closely. Again they came,

enemy should take chances on his own
life to save one who had done him
INJURY, but he was willing to be the
saved one in the present condition of
affairs.
Farther and farther Lorne leaned
over to the right until he could al
most sweep the long grasses with his
hand. He had practiced picking up
a handkerchief while his horse was on
the run, and the experiment came in
good play at this time.
'Now-readyp' he called and then
with a swoop he went past. The herd
was but a dozen yards away and COM
ing with heads down and tails in the
ARA terrifying spectacle and one that
meant death to both the young men
if they could not get out of the way.
But LorTle's strong arm and the
broad cinch on the horses flank meant
safety, and as the boys arm went
around the Mexican it held! On and
on they went, Louie riding in the grasp
of his reScuer at the side of the flying
animal and Lorne breathing hard as
he held the heavy burden, watching
all the time for the herd which was
pressing on them.
But at last the pony dashed out of
the line of pursuit and the herd went
raging past. Louie dropped and went
rolling over and over on the sod, while
Lorne went on to the camp.
1t was a long chase that the men had
before the cattle were all gathered in
line again. and darkness had settled
on the prairie to add its influence to
the quieting of the herd. When at last
Lorne and his men had gathered
around the campfire and were eating
some of the cooks black bread, that
seemed so good to the weary cowboys,
a dark figure came stealing into the
circle-it was Louie.
L want the senor,'' he said timidly,
and Lorne went out to him.
You saved my life this afternoon"
said the boy in his broken dialect, i'm
possible to reproduce in print.
well, I only did as 1 would for
anyone"
Il know, but you are better than me
I make you loss and trouble. [ am
sorry. / like to help you now an git
cattle into tn shipping town."
Lorne thought a minute. Would it
do to take the young Mexican. into his
employ, bad as they needed men? At
last he decided that it would be the
best way to get rid of a persecution,
though there was reason for thinking
that there would be no more trouble
from Louie.
SO the young Mexican Joined the
camp, and the next day took his place
at the middle shift of the herders, and
watched the cattle with all the care
and fidelity of an old cowboy.

how utterly futile it was to get angry
with a camel so selecting his

But the longest lane has its turning,
and after the best part of a mornings

harness, took it in here and let it out

was off his horse and the others were

long line.
None of them saw a crawling figure

they drew away, and as there were sew

soon behind one and out of sight of
the regular herders. It was a shrewd
trick, and one that was played on more
than one occasion in the history of the
cattle trade. Lorne was new to it
and did not even see what had been
done until ONE of the herders rode up
to say that there was something out

SAVING THE GREAsER's LIFE.

and soon there was a second movement
among the cattle-something had been
thrown into the herd to startle them.
He knew then what was the matter
someone was annoying the herd to
make him trouble. But when DAYLIGHT
came he could see nothing Of the dis
turDers, ana again he waited for night.
He took his own position far on the
outskirts that night, and waited for
developments. Soon there was an
other wolf-call; then another, then a
whizzing sound and another movement
of the cattle. He rode furiouSly at
the point where he thought the sound
originated and was not surprised to
catch a glimpse of g, dark form, which
he took to be man on horseback.
Halt" he cried, cor I will shoot

There was no stopping Faster and
faster he rode, and gained on his an
meyer. Then, before he was aware Of
what was happening, he was seized
from behind and went rolling to the
ground. a lariat coiled around him hav-

not caught over his head. and his sec
ond assailant went rushing past and
away before he could regain his feet.
But not quick enough for the rider
to escape notice, and one glance at the
told Lorne who it waS-Louie, the Mex
ican who had been discharged when
Lorne went to work first on the Circle
Bar.
But there was enough to look after
at the other end of the line. The cat
tie, startled more than ever by the
noise, had started on a stampede and
We're racing toward the east at the
top of their speed, the herders doing
all in their power to stop them, but
without effect.
The plan of the herders was to ride
on the edge of the leaders of the herd,
and, by swerving them, eventually run
the whole lot in a circle so that it
would tire itself out. Lorne Joined in
the ride, and fierce and fast was the
racing for hours. Over miles of rough
plain, broken here and there by ra-
vines, they went. Sometimes the horses
stumbled and rider was thrown head
long on the grass. Then he would pick
himself up and make the race again,
and all the time they were getting the
herd into a mill which meant a con-
slant turning, which might continue as
long as strength lasted, without dam
age. When this was accomplished
Lorne went to the camp wagon and
threw himself on a pile of blankets to
rest.
