CHAPTER Xxx.
A hing's Story.

The first person whom Ulln met
after entering the cave was Ezabel,
who stood by table upon which a
lamp was burning.
My dear child, l was Just coming
in search of you. We were anxious.
What-haye you been in tears? Ulin,
what is it? What has happened?"
The maiden, in memory of the great
event of the evening, forgot the cause
of fear that had been with her. 1t
was a secret she could not keep-a Sc
cret she had no wish to keep; and
resting her head upon Ezabel's shout
der she told the story of her love-
Dearest Ulin." said the aged ma
tron kissing the maiden upon the
brow, he is worthy of the trust you
have reposed in HIM
AT that moment Abba come in from
the grove where she had been in
search of her mistress and very soon
see, too, had heard the story. She
gazed into Ulins face moment, and
then, with tear glistening in her eye,
she murmured
81 shall be very happy now, for
henceforth can serve and love you
both"
As Abba spoke. and before any reply
could be made, Julian came hurrying
into the cave. He was much excited
and Ben Hadad saw fear upon his
face such as had never been seen there
before.
MY son." spoke the hermit, what
means this? Your manner betokens
danger"
And there is danger cried the
young chieftain, moving instinctlvely
to Uhn's side Il fear that have been
much to blame. l should have been
warned by the words Of osmir and
Selim. Those two Arabs have evident
ly discovered our abiding place"
"Well-aDd what then?, asked Ben
Hadad.
II think taey have brought large
force against u.s."
"What-of Arabs2 Do they mean to
rob u.s."
Perhaps" suggested Abba, 'they
hope to recapture what they have
lost"
Ulin moved to Julians side, and

CHAPTER XXI.
Innocence of Helen

The king of Damascus had grown
very old and very sour within those
last few days. Rage and chagrin had
so shaken his frame that he seemed
stricken with palsy; and his voice.
from its howlings and meanings, had
become hoarse and cracked. But he
had promise OF sweet revenge. His
soldiers were upon the track of the
fugitives, and he believed they would
bring them back. o, how he would
gloat over the sufferings of his vic
tins when they came within his
power!
81 tell thee, About Cassem," he said,
addressing his minister, "the fair, frail
Ulin must suffer for this. She is no
longer your child; shall not regard
her as such.
About bowed his head. and answered
that he was content.
Omar could not help noticing that
his friend was in trouble, and he took
the liberty to ask what had gone
wrong.
"Alas!" cried Horam, everything
goes wrong" And he told how he had

allowed her to live to commit more
crime?"
"In mercy's name" cried Omar,
what do you mean by this speech? Do
you remember Sanballad and Ben
Huram?"

two of my chamberlains, who accom-
panied you to Aleppo at the time OF
which we have spoken"
NO." said Omar, they did not quite
go to Aleppo. sent them back be-
fore I reached my capital. They
brought to you my messenger"

ram.
"Never-saw-them. Good spirits OF

aye. If they started on their return,
they must have been robbed and kill

left in your retinue,"
The king of Aleppo clasped his
hands in agony

what a fearful mistake was that!
Bear with me-forgive mel"
what is it, Omar?"
"Your beautiful queen was inno-
cent?"
Innocent" gasped Koran, starting
to his feet, and then sinking back
again.
Eyes, my brother" replied Omar, in
trembling tones, "she was as innocent
as in that natal hour when first she
rested upon her mothers bosom. At
Balbec we found a woman whom
some of my officers brought before me
supposing her to be the queen OF Da-
mascus. she was very beautiful, and
so nearly did she resemble the queen,
Helena, that even I was at first de-
ceived. Her name was Jasmin, and
she told me that she had just ned
from Damascus and was waiting for
her lover to join her. She said that
Jabal was her lover, and that he was
captain of Horam's guard. The
truth flashed upon me in moment. I
conversed with her until had gained
her whole story; and then knew that
your queen was innocent. 1t was all
proved to me, as clear as the sun at
MONDAY. AT first l had a thought OF
returning myself, and bearing to you
the joyful tidings; but business urged
me on, and I sent Sanballad and Ben
Huram."
"And they did not comet" uttered
Koran, with his hands working ner-
vously in his bosom. "They did not
come-and my queen died"
God forgive mel" calculated Omar.

raising it to his lips but she sud

NO! no! mol" she murmured.
Pardon, lady. | meant no offense."
The tone was one of grief.
"oh-Julianl Julian! Leave me not
yeti"
She rested her freed hand upon his
arm and gazed up into his face. Her
eyes were streaming with tears and
her bosom heaved conyulsively.
"Lady-Ulin!"
"Julianl-O, in this hour of helpless
ness and need | turn to thee with all
my trust and faith. II the love Of this
poor heart is worth the cherishing,
take 1t, and keep it always. have no
power-I have no choice. The light
OF thy face, beaming In love upon me,
reveals to me that am bound to thee
by chains which cannot break"
She rested her head upon his bosom;
and he, winding his stout arms about
her, pressed her to his heart as treas
ure the most precious that earth could
bestow.
The sun sank to its evening rest,
and the shades of twilight deepened
over the river and DYER the grove.
The stars came out, one by one, in
their celestial stations, and anon the
silver moon, lifting its face above the
hills of Hobah, cast its soft light into
the vale Still the lovers sat beneath
the orange tree; and there they might
have sat late into the night, had not
Osmir come to interrupt them.
What did the guard want at that
hour and in that place. He sought his
master Julian arose and went to him
and they whispered hurriedly togeth-
er; and then Ulin was sure that she
heard the Arabs mentioned.
"Ulin," said the chieftain, coming
back and taking her hand, you might

What is it? You tremble. All,
Julian-there is danger"

At this point selim came running
up, all out of breath; but before he
could speak his mastef atopped him.
Il understand, good lselim. osmir

"But-my master"
In a moment Wait till I come

And thus speaking Julian led the
maiden to the cave.

her hand to his lips. Il will be back

'-S OtHeIs, III answer to what had been
suggested:
fear the truth has not yet been
nit If the Arabs are coming, as L
apprehend, there may be another solu-
tlon to the problem. Those two ras-
calls who escaped us could easily have
Followed us 70 this place. We were

aid not guard against It, They knew
That the maiden who had been
snatched from them was the daughter
OF the kings prime minister; and may
they not have known that she was the
kings aftianced? At all events, it is
not unreasonable to suppose that they
may have anticipated some gain of re-
ward by carrying intelligence to About
Cassem. If they have done this, then
they must also have revealed the
whereabout of the Scourge of Damas-
GUS"
A low cry of pain from Ulin told
how directly the fear had touched her;
and again her lover sought to calm
her.
I'VE must leave this place" he said,
and seek shelter in the wood. You
and and Abba will go, and the guards
will join us outside. | know where
there is safety, so have no fear. Should
the rascals come they will not harm
these old people; they will not dare to
do it."
Ulin had drawn a mantle about her
shoulders, and Julian had turned to
speak apart with Ben Hadad, when
Osmir came rushing into the cave,
with terror depicted most painfully
upon his ebon features.
They are coming!" he cried. "They
have sprung upon us from a hidden
cover"
Who are coming?"
"They are the kings soldiers, led
by the captain, Benoniw
On the next instant the clash of
arms was heard at the entrance,
Back, back, sweet love-" said Jul
liam, gently pushing the maiden to-
wards her chamber. There may yet
be hope"
He grasped a sword as he spoke, and
leaped toward the entrance; but he
was too late. Already a score of arm
ed men We're rushing in, number Of
them bearing flaming torches in their
hands.
Come, good Osmir," the chieftain
cried, bracing himself for the work.
Capture for us is certain death. We
can do no better than to sell our lives
here"
one-two-three-fo of the royal
soldiers fell beneath the lightning-llke
strokes of Julian's trenchant blade;
and in the same time Osmir had slain
two but it was not in the roll of fate
that two were to overcome the force
that came pouring into the cave. A
flaming torch was hurled upon the
chieftain, and while he staggered be-
meath the binding stroke he was
drawn over backwards and his arms
quickly pinioned. The next move
ment was to secure Ulin and Abba,
after which Ben Hadad and Ezabel
were taken.
"Will you lay violent hands upon
me?" dema4ded the hermit
II am ordered to bring you all be-
fore the king" replied Benoni; -"all

have complaint to make, save it for
those who command me-"
While the captain was searching
other apartments, to see If more pris-
oners were to be found, Julian felt
hand laid upon his shoulder, and on
looking up he beheld Judah.
so, my noble cheftain, you are
fast once more. The guard played us
false. it seems, and came near losing
my head in consequence; but my royal
master will pardon me when he sees
you again"

|, SEASON 1902. !
s~~~~~~~~~~~S

The stallion season in this coun-
ty for the year 1902 shows that our
breeders have high class lot of
stations, of both trotters and sad
die horses, to select from. And we
might also say that Hackney will
also make season in this county.
When saddle horses are so much
in demand, and at such high prices.
and mark you, they will be higher
for several years to come, no breeder
can afford to allow his saddle mares
TO remain idie at this time. Some
of saddle horse men have tried and
raised 81 900 horses, and one a $5
600 saddle horse. Why not you?
As to trotters and road horses the
world is just beginning toappreciate
the sort we raise in Old Kentucky.
The demand for good looking road
horses was never more urgent than
at the present time. If you get a
trotter 1t takes nearly Kings ran
som to buy one. Every farmer
should raise a few colts. it mat
ters not what his other stock
interests are.
