Very strange" replied the princess,
casting her eyes to the floor and then
slowly raising them to that vacant
spot
What do you think Of the strange
man." the slave girl pursued, sitting
down by her lady's side.
What do you think Of him?" said
Ulin.
Il think he is very handsome. He
saw
ulin showed by her look that she
was grateful for this answer. 1t pleas
ed her, though she may not have
known 1t.
Such man could not be bad
man." she said. Deception cannot
dwell in such a face"
Il should think not" returned Abba,
to whom the remarks had been put in
the form OF questions.
And what do you think of the story
he told concerning the robber Julian?"
Il think he told us the truth, my
lady. AS he went on with the tale,
SO before. He told us the truth"
Then the king must be hard, bad
man, Albia?"
Il must not answer you lady. The
king is to be your husband, and it is
not we'll that you should urge me to
speak against him.
Indeed. girl, asked you to do no
such thing. l did not mean that you
should speak against the king"
Then you should have asked me no
question touching his character, I
would rather talk of this man who
has just left us. l, who am only a
poor slave, could love such man"
Ulin lifted her hand to her heart,
and pressed it there as though some
new feeling had crept in to worry her,
and, as she sat thus, one of her black
slaves came in to see if she would like
her supper.
Not now, Calypso" said the prin-
cess, starting up. you may bring
me some grapes, and few dates. But
first. tell me what these strange men
are doing. How many of them are
there here?"
Not more than a score of them are
in the palace, my mistress, but there
are thousands of them outside of the
valley"
Ulin had no disposition to argue the
point: so she asked what the robbers
We're doing.
Abba" said the princess, after the
black slave had gone, 81 do not believe
that Julian is such terrible looking
man, after ALL What do you think?"
Il think" replied Abba, that peo-
pie have described him who never saw
him, and that their fear-fraught mag
nations drew the picture"
so I think, returned Ulin. She
gazed a few moments upon that old
vacant spot. and then added: II shall
see him on the morrow. and must say
that the thought is not frightful.

Gus whim which should lead him to
seek to release you from the hands of
the king. But don't know as we can
wonder at it. Perhaps he thought you
were some .riendless girl who did not

The princess mot!oned for her COM
panion to stop.
"We will not talk of the king, AL
bia: and, touching this Julian, we
shall know more when we see him."

Potatoes. onions and Vegetables.

New Potatoes continued to arrive freegy from
the river. but, with trade active both locally
and on shipping account. the market remained
steady and there was very little good stock
uusold at the close. Onions were rather easy.
with stocks Of both Red and Yellow plentiful.
The feature Of the vegetable market was the
sudden scarcity and frmness OF Tomatoes
There was very little local stock available
and carload that arrived from Mississippi
met with a brisk demand at the appearing
quotations. Asparagus ana String Beans were
weaker, with nearly all OF the receipts OF the
former going TO the eanners. Green Peppers,
too. were lower under greatly increased re-
