Under different Sultans the Kaaba has

three in one year. For a while there

The Khedive handed the Kiswah over into
the keeping of the Pasha in charge OF
the caravan with prayers and iteration
and reiteration of the name of Allah.
There were thousands of pilgrims who
marched through the town to the strains
of martial music and the weird chanting
of the Koran. Native men, women and
children were allowed to join the pro-
cession to the station, and the harmonious
coloring of their quaint costumes ana
turbaned heads added to the picturesque
ness of the scene. The soldiers escortng
the caravan were mounted on fine horses.
Some of the rich people who accompanied
the procession rode in litters borne by
csmels or mules. Poorer people rode their
camels and donkeys, while thousands OF
the poorest walked all the way. 1t was
a notely crowd, the like of which may

Early as the special train with the

was there to see it off. The train was

Yes, he was very serious. but his Sc.
robustness was of different nature than
she had supposed, and he was thinking
of an entirely different matter. He had
gone to church with the sole purpose of
studying the man in his pulpit who could
"beat" him so cleverly with his own weap-
ons on fair ground. DeGolyer always had
the greatest respect for any one who
could out-do him; thers again, the more
he thought the matter over, the more I'M
certain he became as to whether 1t was
really accident or design.
On reaching home he threw himself on
the couch and thought over the whole

town had heard. however, and 1t was a
subject OF much discussion and consider
able diversity of opinion.
The church people thought that the
Spectator should not have taken such
undue advantage of their trusting, unsus-
pecting young minister. The less religious
element said that If he didn't know any
better than to trade with a man like
DeGolyer he deserved to be beaten. 1t
would teach him lesson.
But the traders wife, wondering why
her husband had 50 suddenly determined
to accompany her to church-after so
many years absence therefrom-came to
the conclusion that it must be owing to
the tact that their young minister was
to preach the baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class, of which her son was
a member.
But as she sat in church she wondered
why her husband watched the minister so
closely, and why the minister kept cast
ing such furtive chances at her husband;
and why George. who sat just opposite
them in the class, had such very queer
expression on his face; and why his faith
err seemed to vince. She was never to
know, for both husband and son kept
their own counsel.

Mosque in the Mohammed-Ali Square

various religious houses in the city. Sa-
lutes of twenty-one guns were fired by

frenzy.
When Mohammed laid the obligation
upon his followers to pay at least one
visit to the Holy City, he did not do it
simply for the reason that Mecca had
been his birthplace, but because the city
had been from time immemorial sacred
spot to all inhabitants of Arabia. There
stood ALA Bet, the first temple erected
for mankind, with its traditions running
back to Ishmael, to Abraham, to Seth
and to Adam; yea, even to the mysterious
mythology of the Orient. This was the
place where Abraham stood; there were
the graves of Hagar and Ishmael; there
the Kaaba, the Home of God and the
Gate of Heaven.

Maui bound negroes, IL was found that
one of the colpred girls had disappear

Kinney a colored preacher had become
smitten with her charms and induced
her to desert the remainder of the
crowd and remain in Honolulu. In
stantly there was a row. MacKinney
was ordered by several irate colored
gentlemen to produce the girl He
was followed to town and at the corner
of Merchant and Kaahumanu streets
the negroes cOngregated and discussed
the matter. A big crowd of natives
and whites gathered so the negroes
