GOT HURT FOR FLIRTING
Woman Led Man to Station and Broke
Furniture With Him.

NEW YORK March 5-A crash,
reminiscent of the hectic hurtlings OF
uncared-for dynamite in the Murphy
excavations for the Pennsylvania rail-
road station on the west side opened
the door of the Tenderloin station last
evening.
a swirl of skirts swlshed In, a woman
about SIX feet tall raced TO the desk,
and the form OF n little man might
have been seen in her clutches.
The angry woman Is Miss Hortense
Mlrrlrd of No. 373 Seventh avenue. The
little man who was almost obscurcd by
her form, much as a village is hidden
by few freight cars, says he Is Hugh
O'Donncl. He declines to give his ad-
dress and occupation.

AS his Captor whirled into the sta

against the rail, Sergeant McGloln was
startled when O'Donnell hit the wood

cat scurrIed to the back room. Then the

and persecuted and openly regarded as pest, is treated with consideration in hgypt-humored, petted indulged, actually spoiled. In the U. S. A. a fly is almost as unpopular as the million aire. He Is wary, fretful and suspi- cious, because he knows that all hu manity is joined in a conspiracy to put him out of business. If he strolls up to pool of water temptingly set forth in a white bowl he finds himself a few minutes later writhing in cramps and full of corrosive sublimate. He sees what appears to be a tempting luncheon of sweets and when he starts In to serve himself he discovers that he is caught and held by the treacher- ous 'tangle-foot" mixture. He sees a sign, This way to the dining room, |" and after passing through a long cor ridor he lands in a wire trap from which there is no escape. If he alights on a bald head and tries to use it as a rink, somebody strikes at him and calls him names.
 It is all different in Egypt. Tho greatest indignity that Mohammeaan ever offers fly Is to give him gentle shove and request him to move on. It is contrary to the religious teachings to kill or even cripple this diminutive household companion. The belief in transmigration of souls seems to pre- vail everywhere in the mystical East, and perhaps the fly that follows and nags you all afternoon may harbor the spiritual essence of former head waiter or boy or some other digni- tary.

Usually he selected a road which he would not traverse in going to town, and he would plough it up and ''scrape" it into hollows and leave 1t looking like a sample of the Bad Lands of Montana. As soon as the tax was worked out" he discontinued the improvement. After two or three days of working" a fairly bad road could be made altogether impossible. If were a military commander and had to execute a retreat and cut off my pursuit by a superior force I would have a corps of fiat headed township supervisors bring up the rear and work" the roads.
 It was in this same town of Assiut that we visited one of the greatest bazars in Egypt. We had heard about this bazar every day since landing. The traveller who had been up the Nile and who had come back to Cairo, sunbaked and full of the patronizing airs of the veteran, invariably said, By the way, when you are in Assiut you must see the bazar. He might IS well have said, When you are in Washington be sure to take look at the Washington monument
 "Bazar," has a seductive, Far East ern sound, the same as mosque" It is much luckier to shut your eyes and think of mosque than to actually see a deserted lime kiln with an upturned sugar bowl on top of it. The same for "bazar." only 1t goes double. A bazar is a cosey corner gone wrong. If you will take the long corridor of an Amer ican second-class hotel, tear off the roof and substitute a canopy of tatter- ed rag carpets, cover the walls with the imitation merchandise of a five and ten cent store, kick up choking dust. turn loose twenty or thirty ripe odors and then have one hundred and fifty coffee colored lunatics all begin talking at the same time. you will have a rather tame imitation of the genuine Oriental bazar as made famous in song and story. The crude articles sold in these bazars, if dis played in the windows of a depart. ment store in America, would attract no attention whatever. but the tourist, as soon as he has had a touch of the Egyptian sun, seems to become easy and irresponsible, and he wants to bargain for everything in sight. It is kind of temporary mania, known as curiosis, and is closely allied to the widely prevalent souveniria, or post card fever, which attacks even the young and innocent.

Wearily skipping himself about the head with the tufted fly brush while looking at the races.
 The Luxor Sporting Club is not as dangerous as 1t sounds. The presiding judge of the races was minister of the gospel, and the receipts were given to local charities. A gymkhana is the last resort of a colony shut off from the metropolitan forms Of amusement. and yet it can be made the source of much hilarious fun. Nothing could have been more frivolous than the pro- gramme at Luxor, and yet the British spectators seldom gave way to mirth. Doubtless they were laughing inward ly. Several ponderous committees had charge of the arrangements, and at tended to them with due solemnity.
 First, there was a race between na- tive water carriers, distance about three hundred yards, and each contest ant carrying a goat skin filled with water. Then there was a donkey boys race, each rider being required to ride backward This enabled him to ea- courage his mount by twisting his tall In the donkey race for ladies several of the contestants fell off gracefully end were carried to the refreshEent booth, where they revived on tea.

 AH cept in the larger cities. The fellahin scratch the rich alluyial soil with the same kind of clumsy wooden plough that was used when Marc All tony came down from Rome on busi- ness trip and got all snarled up with Cleopatra. They live in the same type of snug mud hut-about the size of a lower berth. They lift the water from the Nile by exactly the same wooden sweep that was in vogue when Cheops began work on the Pyramids. It may be remarked, en passant, that the fellahin are the farmers of Egypt. l might have said farmers" In the first place, but what is the use of spending a month in a place and paying large hotel bills if one cannot pick up words of the fellahin description to parade up and down in front of his friends and cause them to feel ignorant and nntrayelled? The en passant, which is tucked in so neatly above, l found In Paris. It means under your hat, or something like that. It is impossi- ble to translate these French phrases without sacrificing some of the piquant significance of the original. For instance, string beans" can never be haricots vert. They may look the same and taste the same, but when they are both on the bill, me for the haricots vert every time.
 To resume: The outlying districts of Egypt are supposed to be absolutely Lnon-progressive. This is a mistake. While driving out from Assiut to visit another cheerful cluster of tombs we came upon large gang of workmen Hengaged in improving the road. As soon as the carriage ahead of ours struck the improved road it turned turtle, and for moment the air was full of jumping tourists. Our convey iance started over the improved sec ,tion, but mired down, so we got out Eand walked until we came to an un- nmproved road, and then we jumped hn and sped merrily on our way.

 You must understand. dear friend, that the rabble of the plains are but too glad to soil the record of d man so much bet ter than themselves.

 There are many other contests which tax the intellect in similar manner, but possibly the foregoing will be suf- ficient to provide a fairly demoralizing afternoon. Of course. in America it is impossible to secure the real Levantine donkey. In Egypt the donkey takes the place of the motor car. the trolley. the hanson and the bicycle.

"The governor of Castelleno is in truth, a vain fellow, but I believed in his honor. I have been too generous. Never again. senor, will I trust in the motto of noblesse oblige'
 Labor inquired what he supposed the authorities meant to do.
 They have given Pablo his life on the condition that he betrays me. That, of course, is clear. Pablo Gomez Is to lead them here to the Boca de Lobo!" he laughed with sibilant mockery. "So the governor dreams of my capture that Pablo will guide him to my un- known retreat? It Is well, For Pablo will find no path to follow. And more. senor, I say to you that before many days are over the monks of CastelIeno will have grown husky with singing masses for the soul of that very in- famous caballero and calumniator, Don Hugo. governor of the prison of Castel- leno.'
 Days passed. and spies departed from the valley and found their way back again; ragged goatherds and charcoal burners came cringing and crossing themselves into the presence of the chief, who seemed to tear out the inmost soul of each with a brief question or two and the glare of his malignant eyes, IAlor listened, marvelling more and more at the intuition with which Don Q. pierced to the bottom of every mans knowledge.
 News from the plains grew more and more ominous. Stories floated up of in- fantry arriving and encamping outside the town of Castelleno because the bar racks were full Military maneuvers were publicly discussed, but those assembled hardly amounted to the number neces- sary for even a fragmentary rehearsal of the tactics of war. Then in the dusk of the starlit night ha1f-a-dozen rnessen. gers followed upon each others heels with the news that a systematic move ment had begun toward the Sierra

Don Hugo, the governor of thep rison. had gained from Pablo Go- meg fairly clear knowledge of the to- pography of the Boca do Iobo, the valley in which Don Q. had always found safe retreat, baffling the expeditions sent out against him. It was approached by a. tunnel-like passage and, as far as the band knew. had no other outlet. The gov ernor boasted that the capture of the great brigand was now but matter of time He would be bottled up in his val lev and secured by an overwhelming force. After this the governor promised to put

 No, lord, no! On the third day it was spoken on authority from the prison that Pablo was dead. and that his excellency the governor had given 90 pesetas to pay for masses for his soul.'

 The chief nodded impatiently.
 When dark fell went to the house of my cousin, for I was doubtful Rob ledo went on with nervousness.

 "Yes. lord" Robledo was apprehensive, but the importance of his news gave him courage. While I waited two men came down the street. One was the DOT ter of the prison gate, and the other had the face of Pablo
 A spasm of fury seemed to shake Don Q.
 "Ah. infamy.'' he whispered half to himself, then louder-"And what did my good Robledo think? That he had seen ghost?"
 No, lord. for I spoke to my cousin at the window-no more. Isabelilla had heard-for her mother bas the washing from the prison of the laces and the linens of her excelency Dona Catalina that one said at the prison that Pablo had been spared. and another executed In his name. That is all,
 Don Q.'s peaked nose sank from sight in the breast of his folded cloak. and he sat breeding in his hird-like attitude for many minutes.
