Porte's Mobilization order.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE Figaro this
morning, commenting on the state
ment of the Turkish embassy, sayu
that its denial does not apply to the
news the Figaro published on Satur-
day, that Turkey had ordered the
mobilization of 100000 troops, as that
information has been confirmed from
number of independent sources. The
Turkish denial, continues the Figaro,
merely proves that Turkey realizes
the danger of the order of moboliza-
ton and now hesitates to execute it.

oh. could die happy just to see that
man in my place."
Between every mouthful he devoured
would recur some anathema of speech
as he lay and watched the man he
hated, but he divided his attention. His
bloodshot. vindictive eyes were fixed
now on the splendid barn that had cost
the farmer so much money, and was the
pride of the surrounding country. The
fellow writhed with impatience.
Il hope he'll read the writing on the
wall and know the tramp's hand
hope he'll-ha-it's working-curse
him!"
He saw a thin spiral of smoke rising
like a crooked forefnger from the roof
of the barn. The farmer, sitting with
his back turned. did not see it. The
tramp watched it and smiled as Cain
might have smiled when he slew Abel.
He gesticulated fiercely as if to sustain
himself in some awful deed; then an
other look came into his face as he saw
boy ride gayly up to the barn, turn
his horse loose. and, carrying his saddle
on his arm, disappear inside the build
ing.
One-two-three minutes passed. Moth

of smoke. 1t was now column cut off
from the roof by blaze that the sun
light shielded. Jonathan Carter was
asleep in his chair. The tramp rose to
purpose that had possessed him changed
to look of keen purpose His form
seemed to expand and grow taller, but
he stood rooted to the hills.
The farmer was aroused now. His
wife and daughter were running wildly
here and there. shrieking fire, and he
was calling his men to aid him. But
there was no help that could save the
smoldering mass. and no man thac
could enter that fiery furnace.
Let it burn" shouted the farmer;
thank God we are all here safe-no life
will be lost"
At that moment his eye fell on his
sons pony grazing in the field near by.
| "AlfredH' he shouted. Where is AL
fred? Is he in the house?"
At that moment a man darted past
him and disappeared in that seething
mass of smoke and flame. The group
paid no attention to him. the father
and mother running distractedly about
calling for the boy who was the pride
of their lives. Then there came a cry
from within the blazing barn. a sInoth-
I cred cry. caught up and re-echoed in
anguish by those outside as thew rec
ognized the voice.
1T is my boy-let me get to hinY'
shouted the farmer, struggling in the
die with himv'
But they could see the shadow of a
man who walked like Shadrach of old
IN the fiery furnace. but unlike him
there was the smell of fire upon his
garments. and if the Saviour of men
walked with him their ewes were holden
that they could not see. He carried a
burden that he had covered with his
tattered coat The fire fought him and
wound its long tendrils around him

when he gathered up the last remnant
or his failing strength and threw his
safe burden to those who met him half
way. Ihen there was roar and a

A TRAMP'S REVENGE.

Jonathan Carter sat on his commod-
ious piazza smoking his afternoon pipe
in the most contented frame of mind
possible. for he was at that moment
basking in the warm sunshine of pros
perity. and he knew it. AS far as the
eye could see. the hills and the fiocks
on the hills were his. The excellent
woman attending to his corporal wants
within doors was his. The house was
his. So was the fine new barn filled
with harvested grain. Farmer Carter
did not look up and claim the sky, but
that, too, was part of his domain. me
and mine" was the burden of his
thoughts
At that moment something came
around the corner of the house that
he did not recognize as in any way be-
longing to him. This something was a
tramp-or. in the modern slang of the
day, a hobo. The name is synonymous
with degradation, and this one did not
belle his name. He shivered in the
warm sunlight as if ne had an ague.
His rags stood out like splinters, tell
ing of a long friction with time. His
limbs had the iaccid. relaxed move
meut typical of the drunken vagabond,
and his eyes were bloodshot.

the kind.
BE off, he said. "or I'll set the dog
on you"
Il will work" began the tramp.
on, you will7 I don't need your
help. I employ men to work for me
not such cattle as you"
His words cut to the quick, as he in
tended they should. The tramp made
a savage spring forward, and look of
vndictive hate crossed his distorted
features-then estopped-swung round
and slouched away.
"Catue?" He flung the words out
with bitterness. You're right, friend,

image. and human"
