SULTAN'S IRON HAND.
How Things Get Accom- plished In His
Realms.

NSdlnSs
Things get done in the Sultan's
realms-things like the massacre OF
1896 in Asiatic Turkey and of 1903 In
Macedonia-which come home to the
consciousness of every thinking Turk.
Take the case of the Koordish
Shelkh Oberdullah, who was guest
OF the Sultan for time in 1888 and
was afterward sent 10 Mecca in order
that pious occupations might keep him
out OF mischief. He died very soon
AFTER his arrival, of cholera. it was
officially announced, although he was
the only sufferer from cholera in Mecca
that year.
Take the case of Mithad Pasha, the
liberal prime minister and the cham
pion of parliamentary government. He
was tired for treason i'll aiding to de-
throne Sultan Abdul Aziz, and was
sent to Taft, near Mecca After a
time he died rather suddenly. BY and
by man who had been soldier in
Arabia appeared in Constantinople
babbling tale that ended with: Il
did not know that it was Mithad
Pasha, or | would not have put the
soaped cord about his neck" or
| course the police saw that the man
was crazy and put him where he was
safe from harm
Take the case of Said Pasha. ex-
grand vizier who fled TO the British
embassy in Constantinople seven or
eight years ago, declaring that he
would be killed unless allowed asylum.
and who could not be induced to leave
the building until the ambassador
brought him formal promise of safe
ty sealed with the Sutan's own seal
Meditation upon this class of mys
teries makes people shake in their
shoes every time that they see one of
the great army of paid informers who
knows everything. Men do not saw
that the Sultan does the things which
cause this trepidation. but that 1.-The
palace does them. They speak of the
palace" as though 1t We're a senti-
ment but invisible organism; and when
they speak of it they look behind them
and take out their handkerchiefs and
wipe clammy sweat from their faces

poured down unchecked. 1t was only
question of time when the subcellar
would be filed
Seated upon the end OF box in the
darkness, the bookkeeper waited. I'M
certain of the fate that was in store
for him.
There seemed TO be no way of max
Ing his position known to the firemen.
Even II his refuge entirely escaped the
fames, the fall of some large beam or
mass of brickwork might make ii i'm
possible for him to lift the trap, and
he would perish miserably. Alrea ly
the air was growing close. But TO
open the door meant to admit the
deluge. 1t seemed as if he must choose
between sitting and drowning.
Standing once more upon the bricks
he found that the water was far above
his ankles. How deep was the flood
overhead? He put the palms of his
hands against the trap and pushed up
ward with all his might; 1t rose slight
ly. and a warm, sooty torrent poured
down.
He let the door sink back; the water,
then, was not so deep as he had
feared. There might still be hope for
him. He decided to wait few min
utes more, and then to stake every
thing on one final effort.
Fortunately for the bookeeper, II
WAS quick fire. The things that were
most indammable burned rapidly until
they were consumed. Those that could
be extinguished were smothered by the
Fortunately, too, one Of the shocks
that he had felt was caused by the
firemen bursting in the door that had
defied him. This gave the food a
chance to run out of the cellar, so that

floor. But these things Martin did not
learn until later.
His head was swimming in the close
air; his breath came hard; the water
was almost two feet deep around him.

bold dash for liberty. Standing square

or four inches, struck against some an

back. Drenched by the sudden thrush,
and with strength exhausted Martin
dropped across the boxes.
But help from without was at hand.
A fireman standing with lantern close
to the broken door noticed in the black
water near by swarm OF air bubbles,
and then line of little whirlpools
formed by the liquid flowing down
round the edges of the litter trap.
There was rumor that man had
been heard shouting for help shortly
after the confagration started. Could
II be that he was in the cellar and
still alive?
The aid of a second fireman was In
voked and the two moved aside a
heavy beam which had prevented the
trap from being opened more widely.
A little probing in the black fluid
brought to light the ring of the door.
