ty-three were daughters of noblemen,
all clothed in velvets and silks, with
their chains of gold and other orna-

A lady of truly masculine spirit,
accompanied by a small poodle, is said
to have failed sadly the other day in
an attempted reformatory movement.
She entered the smoking car of a
suburban train and sternly refused,
when approached by the conductor, to
go into another car observing that
her presence would keep the other oc-
cupants from smoking. One thick
skinned wretch, however, insensible to
the claims of refinement and reform,
began to enjoy his accustomed cigar,
which was suddenly snatched from his
lips with the remark in high treble:
"If there is anything do hate it is
tobacco smoking" For a time the
offender was motionless. then, gravely
rising. amid the curiosity of the as
sembled smokers, he took that little
poodle out of the lady's lap and gently
threw him through the window. sigh
ing: "If there is anything do hate it
is poodle. Chicago Tribune.

INTRODUCTION,
Copyrighted 1891 by Robert Bonner's Sons


Horam, King of Damascus, then at
Its glory as the zenith city of the
east, bemoaned the coming of old age
without prospective heir to the throne.
In his younger days he had loved
Helen, his queen, but fearing that she
was disloyal to him had her cast into
the black, swift flowing Phorpar. At
the time the story opens Ulin, the
daughter of About Cassem, the kings
prime minister, three times dreams
that she has become the wife of the
king and that son being born to
them is heir to the throne. Cassem
tells the story to the king. The latter
having long admired the many charms
of Ulin, seeks an interview with her
and on the sixth day following they
are to be married. He thereupon
abolishes his harem. Within the week
Abba, the pretty slave maid-in-wait-
ing to Ulin, tells the story Of the tragic
fate of Helen. The story makes deep
impression and preys upon the mind of
the bride-to-be. But her father urges
her on and she now deems it a sacred
duty to become the queen. On the
morning set for the wedding Ulin's
mother dies. According to the laws OF
Damascus she must go into mourning
retirement for thirty days. Koran
agrees with her father that she shall
pass the period of mourning in a Sc
cluded palace in the beautiful Valley OF
Lycanius. This valley is the sole pos
session of the king and can only be
reached by one passage through
mighty mountain, capable of admitting
but one person at time. Thither
Ulin goes with Abba, where they are
placed under the protection of the
attendants by the king and Ulin's
father Six days after their entering
Koran returns Unexpectedly. Ulin
acting on the suggestion of Abba,
treats him kindly.

She asked if her father had come.
NO my sweet lady" returned Ho-
ram. HE was busy 1t may appear
unseemly for me to come hither alone;
but my great love and my deep soici-
tude for your welfare, must be my ex-
cuse. l hope you have found it pleas
ant here"
The maiden said she could not have
asked for a more pleasant place of
abode.
The king was charmed by her smil-
ing speeSh-so different from what she
had ever before given him-and he
fondly believed that she was delighted
with his presence.
Ulin, fearing that the least sign of
GOODNESS or reserve might excite the
jealousy of the grey-headed-mo
and bring down upon her some terrible
evil, eXerted all her powers of pleas
antness, and wore the smile upon her
face while a pang was in her bosom
But Horam's visit was destined to
be cut short. While he was, for the
sixth time making excuses for his
visit the door of the apartment was
unceremoniously opened and black
entered-not one of those who had
been on guard in the valley but a
stranger to Ulin, covered with sweat
and dust, as though he had been riding
hard and fast.
SHa!" cried the king. starting to his
feet. How now, Sadak? What is the
meaning of this?"
Pardon, sire. knew not that you
we're thus engaged. They only told
me that you were here and | stopped
to inquire no further"
Not that-not that Sadak. Why
have you come from Damascus in such
hot haste?"
II came to inform you sire that Ju-
liam the Scourge of Damascus is ap
preaching our city!"
Death and devastation" cried Ho-
ram starting back with alarm. How
know you this?"
I'VE heard from him by way of a
merchant who was in a caravan that
he had robbed"
What caravan"
the riches which were on their way
from Bassora."
"Those riches were mine" said Ho-
ram.
AYE, sire; and Julian took them
took all that belonged to you, but
spared the poorer merchants. But
that is not the worst. He sends word
that he will lay Damascus in ashes.
About Cassem babe me hasten hither
and give you warning"
The king was fairly beside himself
with fear and rage. The name of Jul
liam was terror to him, and at the
sound thereof he trembled exceedingly.
And he seemed to fear more than the
mere physical proves of the Scourge
There was a mystic quality In his fear
"a nameless dread of the avenger
Where is the demon now?" he ask
ed, after he had gazed awhile in silence
upon the messenger.
He is not far from the city, sire.
Somewhere to the eastward, We think.
Your journey back, If you make haste,
will be safe"
Il Will return, crleu tne monarch,
shifting his fists together; land l will
bring out an army and sweep this ter
rible Scourge from OF the face of the
EARTH"
He babe Sadak go and make ready
for the start. and then he turned to
Ulin.
You will be safe here. sweet one;
and it will not be long before our hap
piness shall be complete"
His words of parting were few, for
he was much excited, and his voice
trembled as he spoke. He turned back
once after he had reached the door,
as though he would say something. |
but finally went away without giving
the intended speech. From window
