Hobaddan.

Thus sat the princess, presenting
that could favor her in her resolution,
when Abba came in, with a quick
step and flushed cheek
MY Mistress" she said, when she
had assured herself that they were
alone, there is man in the garden
who wishes to speak with you"
"A mani" cried Ulin.
HE says it is a case of life or
death-of life or death to an individ-
ual, and of life or death to a city,"
pursued the bondmaiden, without no.
ticing the interruption. HE gained
entrance to the garden, and has been
searching for the lady Ulin. He did
not tell me his name; but l know that
he was with the robbers at the Pal
ace of the Valley, and he says he is a
friend of Julian. If you will see him
now, can conduct him up without
danger of discovery"
"In mercy's name, Abba, what mean
your" The princess trembled like an
aspen What can he want with me?'
81 think he is an honest man, my
lady; and l think you had better see
him. / only speak my own feelings"
Does he say that Julian sent him?"
asked Ulin, trembling more violently
as that name fell from her lips.
Julian did not send him." replied
Abba; land yet he comes in behalf of
Julian. think the noble young chief
tain is in danger, and this man hopes
that you may be able to render some
assistance"
Indeed, Abba, l must not do such
thing. 1t would not be proper.
must not do it. What is the robber
chieftain to me?"
81 know not of a verify, my lady,
that such is the mans hope; but 1 do
know that he prays most earnestly to
see you Yet, if you will not see him,
l will carry to him your word"
What will he do if l refuse?"
He will go away, and trouble you
no more"
Are you sure of this, Abba?
81 am, my lady. He babe me say
unto you that you should act your own
pleasure. He urges no claim, and will
take no offense at refusal, but he
prayerfully asks that you will grant
him audience"
The princess was not proof against
the spirit which prompted to the re-
ception of the robber. 1t was not
wholly curiosity which moved her.
There were feelings working within
her which she could not have ex-
planned. even to herself She told AL
bia that she might conduct the man
to her apartment.

Even Family Secrets!

The inquisitorial proceedings of in
come-tax collectors in Austria are a
source of great annoyance to self-re-
speeding citizens. They pry into every
family secret, however delicate. But
now they do even more than that.
They attempt to check the income of
a man by finding out what is sent him
by rail- The inspector of taxes at
Myslenice, in order to give the screw
another turn, has applied to the rail-
way managers for permission to send
an official to Makow station for GER
tain time in order to examine all par
cells sent there or thence, and find out
to whom or from whom they have
been sent. OF course the purpose of
such a demand is clear. Proof is re-
quired that certain persons spend
more. and therefore have a greater in
come than they have declared, thus
ignoring the fact that man may pos
sibly live beyond his income. At the
same time it must be confessed that
there is a great difficulty in getting
people to give truthful declarations.

To My Many Friends-I am pleased
to make report to you of the pleasant
visit my wife and | had in Western
Canada
We visited the territories of AL
berta, Assiniboia, and Saskatchewan,
and found them far surprising our i'm
aginaton, but little did l expect to
find such rich, loamy soil, so much
of it, and so uniform in its level prai
RE lay. | do think the soil of Canada
as rule equals if not eXcels the fin
est prairie farm lands of Indiana.
These lands are immense in their
richness, and when once the sod is rot
ted and pulverized, it is as pliable and
as easily cultivated as Indiana sandy
soil
Western Canada, from my point of
view offers as fine opportunities for
mixed farming as any place in my
knowledge. The long, sunshiny days,
together with the rich soil, produce
very fine wheat, oats, barley, flax and
other cereal products. There is scarce
ly any attempt to raise corn, except
early varieties for table use. The sea-
son is too short to depend upon ma
turing field corn. From the stand
point of getting this land ready for
the pillow, l must say that l never saw
such a vast extent, practically all
ready so all that one has to do is to
hitch up the pillow and go to work
This is not the case with all the
Canadian land, however; some of it
has quite a bit of timber, rauch of it
may be called brush land, and some of
1t has lovely forest groves, dotted here

g, and there, thereby covering hundred
and sixty acres.
l have no doubt but that this coun-
try excels as a grazing or ranching
country, because they have such rich
| grass having an abundance of rain to
keep it fresh. They also have plenty
of water streams, and as a rule water
may be reached at depth of from 20
to 40 feet. From this you can see
| there can be plenty of hay mown for
| winter feeding, and l have had re-
| liable farmers to tell me that their
stock will feed on hay alone, and be
ready for market in the spring. Upon
inquirlng about the expense of raising
steer, farmer replied that he did
not consider it would cost any more
than 81 or Sc to develop three-year-
old steer.
/ truly think Canada offers a fine
opening for young man or man
who is renting land in Indiana. One
hundred and sixty acres of good black
land will cost you only $40 at the time
you enter it, and by blowing and cul-
tivating five acres each year for three
years, gives you one hundred and sixty
acres of good land for $40. This land
can be bought from the railroad com
panies, private corporations or the gov
eminent for SO to 81 per acre.
From a financial standpoint, l be-
lieve that for a series of years (five)
o young man can make $40 in Canada,
whereas he would only make 81 here,
and | feel sure that l spent more
money to get my eighty acre farm in
White county, Indiana cultivated than
it would cost me to cultivate eight
hundred acres in Canada. This may
seem strong view to take Of the
matter, but when you take into con-
sideration the clearing, ditching, fenc-
ing and the expensive breaking in of
the stumps, and then compare the ex-
pense TO that of land needing only the
breaking, you will conclude that it is
not such wild or exaggerated state
ment as you might at first think.
l enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmos-
phere, which was bracing and refresh
ing, and the cool nights which made it
so pleasant for sleep.
On making inquiries regarding the
winters in this country, l learned that
the people never suffer from the cold,
as the weather is dry and invigorat-
ing, and in a great many places farm
ers and herders allow their stock to
run outside the year round.
One great advantage to the settlers
in Western Canada is the free cream
cries established by the government
and run exclusively in the interest
of the farmer
l visited Thomas Daley, a farmer
near Edmonton, Alberta, who showed
me oats he had raised, some of which
took the first prize at the Paris Ex-
position last year The same yielded
40 bushels to the acre in 1899.
Yours truly,

more like a prisoner than like a prin-
cess!"
At this juncture the bondmaiden
arose from her seat and moved Tor
ward. Her dark eyes sparkied WIN
peculiar fire, and her fair brow worked
as though the balm were reVoiVihs
mighty thoughts.
Dear lady" she said, addressing
her mistress, there is but one way III
which we can render the assurance
which this man seeks"
Speak, Abba" said Ulin, betraying
a suddenness of emotion which toid
very plainly how her desire ran
"Not now, my mistress" returned
the girl. 81 must have time: If this
man can come to our garden two hours
past midnight, l can tell him more.
SIS there help?' asked Hobaddah'
eagerly.
81 cannot tell you now" replied Al
bia. 81 can only tell you this! II
there is help, it is to be found only
in one quarter. / will look for II
there; and, at the time have men
toned, you shall know the result.
will look for it if my lady is willing.
"And / am pardoned for my intru-
sion?" said Hobaddan.
Eyes" returned Ulin. She would
have said more, but Abba was al
ready at the door, and the robber had
turned to follow her.

CHAPTER TX.
The Dark Hour.


ut seemed like dream to Ulin.
| She closed her eyes-and opened them
and arose-and walked across the
chamber-simply to assure herself
that she was awake. Was it possible
that a member of the robber band had
been to see her-had been within her
chamber-had come, and had gone? A
friend and companion of Julian's
seeking her for aid in behalf of the
chieftain? She was trying to make
it appear real, when her bondmaiden
returned.
The door was closed, and Abba re-
marked, as she took seat:
"He will be in the garden two hours
past midnight, my LADY, and If we
can help him, we must do our work as
speedily as possible"
Help" repeated Ulin, gazing into
her attendants face. How can We
help Julian?'
THE thing may be possible" replied
Abba, in a thoughtful mood. IF you
would serve him, T think way can
be opened to the accomplishment.
The princess reflected a few mo-
ments, and then said
of the man who was here spoke
the truth, it may become my duty to
help him; and certainly his story
seemed plausible. I can very easily
see how the powerful robber band,
moved to desperation by the death of
their beloved leader, might wreak
most terrible vengeance upon this
city; and surely, if we can be the
means of averting so dire calamity,
it is our duty so to do"
81 think it is" added Abba.
But" continued Ulin, "if Julian is
in the power of the king, he must be
in one of the strongest dungeons; and
a strict guard must be kept over him.
How can we reach him."
Il can think of but one way" re-
turned the bondmaiden, laying down
the plan with her finger as she pro-
ceeded. "Osmir and Selim had hand
in capturing the young chieftain; and
it is not impossible that they may
have hand in guarding him. judge
so from the fact that the capture of
the robber has not yet become gem
orally known in the city, which would
certainly have been the case if the
kings officers had known it. Now we
have some claim upon the gratitude of
this Osmir, and l think he is, by ma
ture, grateful enough to repay us. He
is the man whom we found faint and
dying upon the shore of the lake, and
who must have died If we had not
nursed him. You remember the cir
cumstance?"
"He had almost been killed by some
slaves of Aleppo," explained Abba

More Laughter, Less Suicide.

laughter is as inspiring as a sea
breeze, as refreshing as an August
shower. Its moral effect is beyond
computation. 1t has killed more ride

roars of unbelief than any other
agency, says the Literary Era. What
can be more derisive than a laugh?
The man who laughs never kills him
self. That is the reason so few Irish
men commit suicide.

CHAPTER VTI.-(Continued.)

| AIlAI kSOhtihuNN't
When the princess was alose, she
trembled beneath the weight of the
new thought that had been wrought
upon her. Flight was something that
had not made its way to her mind be-
fore, but now that it had been present.
ed, she could not dismiss it. She had
revealed her whole feeling, 80 far as
the king was concerned, in her speech
to Abba. There may have been other
springs within her soul which she did
not then dare to touch; but In her own
soul, unsupported and uninfluenced by
other causes than such as spring from
reason and reflection, had grown rear
| of Horam, and a terror of being his
wife. She had dreamed of poor Helena
until the dead queen seemed almost
an attendant spirit upon her, sent to
warn her. The night passed, and the
day came; and she had resolved that
she would not marry with the old king
If she could avoid it. When Abba
came, and asked her what she had de-
termined, such was the purport of her
answer.
But" said the bondmaiden, there
is but one way in which the sacrifice
can be avoided. Are you ready to
flee?"
"Not yet-not yet, Abba. Wait
through the day"
In the afternoon the king made
visit to the house of his prime minis
ter and spent a short time with Ulin.
He never looked more repulsive. He
was loud in his words of love, and
made the announcement that fortune
had turned full in his favor. 1t was
evident enough that he had been TAX
ing more wine than usual. When he
went away, Ulin sank down upon
low stool and buried her face in her
hands
Abba" she said, when she felt like
speaking, 81 can bear no more. would
rather die than give myself to that
man. If l should die, my father would
lose me; but if flee from Damascus,
l may at some time return to him. If
you can prepare for leaving the city,
will accompany you this very night"
The bondmaiden promised that she
would do all in her power; and without
waiting to waste time in useless words,
she went forth to search for the help
she needed.
Evening came, and Ulin had not
shrunk back from the decision she
had made. There were two reasons
why her home had not power to win
her back from her resolve The death
of her mother had taken away the
brightest part of that home; and, fur
thermore, its character of home was
soon to be changed if she remained. |
1t could not be her home any more. |

Drink Water.

II you do not accustom yourself to
drink water regularly, you are liable
TO have the waste products of the It's
sues of the body form faster than they
are removed. Great weakness and
langor on rising in the morning is
generally due to a large secretion of
these waste products, and the remedy
is to drink a tumblerfu of water
either hot or cold-just before retiring.
This materially assists in the process
during the night, aAd leaves the It's
sues fresh and stnang, ready for the
active work of tho next day.
