THE ROSE OF THE HAREE.
How Young Engiishman stole the
Sultans Favorite.

1t was at the feast of Leilat ell Kad-
rat that Roy Alburton. the young Eng
fish traveller. first saw the rose of TIE
harem as he watched the stream of
yelled worshipers pass between lines
OF black slaves into the mosque of St.
Sophia. Leilat el Kadrat Is the one
festival OF all the year when all men
and women OF the faith Of Mahomet
go into the mosques TO pray. How
Roy Alburton managed to elude the
red-capped, black browed guards is a
mystery, but he managed to slip be-
hind one of the ''porphory pillars
which uphold the roof of gold" and to
stand where the silken garments Of
the devotees brushed against him as
they passed. Perhaps 20 of the
harem ladies had gone by when Il
slender girl in a robe and veil like
woven sunbeams came along He
could see the 1.-the young shape and
caught glimpse of tresses of raven
hair falling upon her shoulders. She
drew near-was right beside him. A
rose fell at his feet.
When the prayers were done the
worshipers returned as they had gone
in. Alburton still kept his place in
the shadow of the column. His heart
beat fast as he waited. Slowly the
rainbow-tinted line of muffled figures
passed like "A waving cloud of crimson
and amethyst and gold along the sun
set Uil1pJ horiZou and finally CHI 1raNV
near and. whether by accident or de
sign, she knows, the face covering
trembled for moment as If il dread
ed to reveal such loveliness, and fell.
Roy Alburton's blue eyes looked
into orbs as soft as a gazelle's for one
moment Then he reached out an arm
and silently drew her out of the pro-
cesSion into the shadows beside him.
II the woman behind her saw she gave
no sign. One rival less is not thing
to cry over. If the guard, cimetar
drawn and watchful eyed, noticed the
closing ranks, English gold was clink-
ing in his purses. But the rose Of the
harem did not return. When the sui
tan's anger shook the earth she was
at sea, bound for Bombay, and her
head was at rest on the bosom Of her
English lover. And now England will
have another matter TO settle with
Monsieur the Turk on the next reck-
oning day.

For H,d,nk MONEY

Many and strange were the devices
Of our grandmothers for boarding
away their wealth.
An elderly spinster of one of the
many ancient houses to he found In
Chester had "A set OF large stationary
drawers topped by cupboards special
ly built into huge closet In one OF
the rooms. The lower dra wer, instead
Of resting directly ON the floor. ran on
grooves about two inches above 1t.
The lower drawer she would pull out
her Jewel cases in the space left be-
low. and then replace the drawer,
which she kept filled with linen.
The old lady would always declare
that If the house were broken into
the drawers ransacked. no one would
think of pulling them right out. and
that her hiding place was far safer
than any bank.
Equally shrewd was woman in
Liverpool, who, whenever, she had oc-
casion 10 leave her home at all would
put her money and jewelry IN the coal
scuttle, covering them up carefully
with several layers of coal. This
might have proved somewhat risky
experiment in the winter months.
when the fire had TO be fed, but the
owner felt no burglar would ever
dream Of looking in a coal scuttle for
valuables.
Another lady once confided TO the
writer that If she had occasion to
leave her house empty she invariably
placed her jewelry in her old shoes,
which were placed alongside the new
ones. Quite lot Of valuables can be
forced down into the toes without Civ
ing the slightest evidence Of the value
therein.
OF other hiding places perhaps the
most popular. especially for paper
money, is the big family bible. IT Is
quite a customary thing in out-of-the-
way country houses TO thus secure any
valuable papers in the possession Of
the family.
Tea-caddies and sugar bowls make
excellent temporary safes. and the
pocket Of an old dress hanging in an
unconcealed way in a wardrobe is re-
garded by many women as one OF the
safest places imaginable for spare
rings, brooches and bracelets.

Twentieth Century Politics.

The elevation Of Chauncey NJ. Depew
to the proud position of a senator of
the United States has not changed his
outlook upon life. He is still the same
cherry, -humored, shrewd but
kindly Chauncey as of yoro. He looks
always on the bright side Of things and
is ready to see good in everything. This
is shown, among other ways, in a fore
cast of the politics of the twentieth
century which he has drawn at the re-
quest of Anslee's magazine. 1t is this:
THE war we have waged and the ter
ritory we have acquired have given
great moral and intellectual elevation
to political discussion and public
thought. The expansion Of our national
sphere is certain to bring even more OF
dignity seriousness, and disregard
for the petty things in politics. Little
men and unequipped men are going to
be pushed aside. The people are giving
their thoughts to the discussion of large
questions arising out of our new rela-
tions, and these discussions are going
to be succeeded by others equally great.
1t is. therefore, a time for the best of
young men to enter in and claim the
position which their best thoughts and
best plans on behalf of the nation COM
mand. They will need to have high
ideals, taste for political generalship,
and, above all, honesty"
You believe, then in the young man
making of politics a vocation?"
Il believe that everyone should make
a study and gain an understanding of
the needs of and best measures for the
country. l do not believe in anyone
entering politics with the feeling that
he can get a great deal out Of it for
little or nothing given. He will not,
that you may rest assured; but it is
wrong that he should attempt it. If
man feels an inward call toward the
subleties Of politics, if he feels that he
can be of service to the nation and de-
lights in struggling to impress his own
theories and plans for the conduct Of
society and the betterment Of the ma
ton upon the men of the nation, he
should enter the political arena. give
all his time and fight his good fight. He
will be better for his struggle and the
nation will be richer for his having
lived"
What fine world this would he if all
men were road-gauged like Chauncey!
China's absolute refusal to consider
Italy's demands at San Nun bay has
aroused guessing contest to deter
mine what nation is nudging China.
