Contrary to the prevailing impress
sion, the Sultan of Turkey has num-
Der of tastes in common with the Eng
disappearing people. He admires out
door sports, and is said to be himself
a good shot. He is fond of horses and
dogs, and most of his sons, like him
self, excel in Craftsmanship. Some
time ago he engaged an expert coach
man from England to teach some of
the princes to drive tandem and four
finland. After little while, however,
the coachman was dismissed and had
considerable difficulty in collecting the
salary agreed upon. The sultan has a
hobby of making collection of old
and curious weapons and arms.

himself down beside her on the soft

waist and dragged her head down upon
his shoulder and madly kissed her lips.
A sudden gust tossed the flames high
