When everything was finished Sir
Andrew said:
Listen now, Rosamund, and you
also, my nephews l have never told
you the true tale OF how the sister Of
Saladin, who was known as zobede,
daughter Of Ayoub and afterward
chrlstened into our faith by the name
OF Mary, came to be my wife, yet you
should learn 1t II only to show how evil
returns upon a man. After the great
Nur-ed-dln took Damascus, Ayoub was
made it's governor; then some three and
twenty years ago came the capture OF
Harenc, In which my brother fell.
Here / was wounded and taken prison.
err They bore me to Damascus, where
/ was lodged in the palace of Ayoub
and kindly treated. Here, too, II was,
while ! lay sick, that | made friends
with the young Saladin and with his
sister ZObeide, whom met secrAly in
the gardens OF the palace. The rest
may be guessed. Although she num-
bered but half my years, she loved me
as loved her and for my sake offered
to change her faith and fly with me to
England II opportunity could be found,
which was hard
Now, rs It CHANGED, had friend,
dark and secret man named Jebal,
the young shelk Of terrible people
whose cruel rites no Christian under
stands. They are the subjects Of one
Mohammed, In Persia. and live in castles
at Masyaf, on Lebanon This man had
been In alliance with the Franks, and
once In a battle saved his life from
the saracens at the risk Of my own,
whereon he swore that did I summon
him from the ends Of the earth he
would come to me II | needed help.
Moreover, he gave me his slgnet ring
as token, and, by virtue Of 1t, so he
said, power in his dominions equal to
his own, though these | never visited.
You know It, and, holding up his hand,
Sir Andrew showed them heavy gold
ring In which was set a black stone
with red veins running across the stone
In the exact shape of a dagger, and be-
meath the dagger words cut in unknown
characters
80 in my plight bethought ME Of
Jebal and found means to send him a
letter sealed with his ring Nor did he
forget his promise, for within twelve
days Zobede and | were gaIloplng for
Beirut on two horses so swift that all
the cavalry Of Ayoub could not over
take them We reached the city, and
there were married., Rosamund There,
too, your mother was baptized Chris
tlan. Thence, since II was not safe for
Us to stay In the east, we took ship and
came safe home, bearing this ring Of
Jebal with us, for would not give It
up, as his servants demanded that l
should do, except to him alone,
THAT is the story Since then Sal
adm, who In those days was but a no
BILE youth, has become the greatest sui
tan that the east has ever known, and.

CHAPTER V:

- ODWIN laid down the letter'
and all Of them stared at one
N another In amazement
Surely" said Wulf, "this is
some fools trick played Off upon our
uncle as an eve Jest"
BY way Of answer Sir Andrew babe
him lift the silk that hid the contents
OF the Golfer and see what lay there.
Wulf did so, and next moment threw
back his head like man whom some
sudden light had blinded, as well he
might, for from II came such a flare Of
gems as Essex had rarely seen before
One by one they drew its treasures
nom the chest-coronet, necklace OF
ppafls. breast ornaments Of rubies, CIR
ne Of sapphires, jeweled anklets and
With hem geil, sandals, robes and 9th.

pie SILK Moreover. among these, also
sealed with the seals ~ Salah-ed-dln,
his vizIera, officers o. state and secrc
taries, was that patent Of which the
letter spoke, setting out the fnll titles
Of the Princess Of Baalbec: the exieut
and boundaries of her great estates and
the amount Of her annual revenue
which seemed more money than the)
had ever heard of.
SIR Andrew looked up and said; "elfi
do you know what Saladln has mace
OF you? why, there are queens In Eu-
rope who would be glad to own that
rank and those estates In the rich lands
above Damascus. Say, will you go and
queen 1t thereT
Rosamund gazed at the cleaning
gems and the writings that made her
royal, and her eyes flashed and her
breast heayed. Thrice she looked while
they watched her, then turned her head
as from the bait of some great tempta-
ton and answered one word only
NAY"
"Well spoken" said her father. who
knew her blood and its longings. "At
least, had the may been yea you
must have gone alone. Give me ink and
parchment, Goodwin.
They were brought, and he wrote:
To the Sultan saladln, from Andrew
darcy and HIS daughter Rosamund.
We have received your letter, and we
answer that where we are there we will
bide In such state as God has given us.
AS for your threats we VIII do our best
TO bring them to nothing. Knowing the
customs of the east, we do not send back
your gifts TO yov. since to do so would be
TO offer insult to one OF the greatest men
in all the world but II you choose to ask
for them they are yours, not ours. or
your dream we say that It was but an
empty vision OF the night which wise
man should forget.
YOUR SERVANT AND YOUR NIECE.
Then he signed and Rosamund signed
otter him. and the writing was done
up. wrapped In silk and sealed
"Now," said Sir Andrew hide away
this wealth. since, were II known that
we had such treasures In the place, ey-

NO DOUBT OF BAILEY
 BEING sONORA'S CHOICE


 Hon. Neill Bailey. of Naco.- was a brief business visitor in the city on Thursday. leaving here In the after noon for Savannah, Georgia. where he will join Mrs. Bailey for few weeks visit, says the Cananea Herald. They will return west in time for him to take ur his duties as member of the 1r.rora legislature. witch ssccrfice i1 Jsauary.
 Mr. Bailey ia tfe last few weeks made a trip over Arizona in the inter- ests Of his candidacy for the place of speaker of the next assembly. He stated Thursday that the outlook ap- peared altogether satisfactory to him and that he felt he would receive the election This opinion would appear highly justified from comments which are being indulged by the newspapers of Arizona. which without exception are urging his selection to the import ant place to which he aspires. In his support is a splendid record made in the last session of the legislature as the democratic floor leader of the house. Also favorable to him is the fact that he comes from the biggest and richest county in Arizona, which in the past has not been honored with such recognition as it now unanimous ly asks for Mir. Bailey.

DEFICIT IN THE LEGAL
 RESERVE
A Shortage of Over Six and a Half Millions, and a Shrink age of Eight Millions in a Week.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-The heaviest deficit below the legal requirement in the legal reserve of teh associated banks of this city in thirteen years was disclosed by today's bank state ment. The deficit amounts to $6.702,- l75. as against surplus of sl. .449 ,30O enc week ago.
 While it is not unusual for the bank statement to show that banks hoiI less than the law requires it to keep in re- serve. 1t is quite unusual for the def icit to be so large. The larsCs. pre- yious deficit was on August F, lN93. when reserves were l6,500,000 short of the legal requirements.
 That Wall street is hopeful that some action will be taken by the Sec retary of the Treasury to rciive the money market was indicated by the movement of the stock market after publication of the bank statement h. stead of a slump in stocks there was only a slight drop. which was checked in a few minutes.
 Scarcity in money is attributable to several causes. There had cesn a steady drain to the West on account of the crop movement heavy d.vidends have been declared this month, and unusually heavy speculation in min ing stocks has helped 10 pump the banks dry.
